SUCCESS WITH AUTOMOBILE
DEPENDS ON LUBR|CATION

Wherever internal combustion en-
gines are used in automobile, motor
trucks, airplanes, tractors and SO
on-their performance and durabil-
ity depend entirely upon their lubri-
cation and leading engineers after
hundreds of careful costly scientinc
experiments. have determined tnat
the majority of engine troubles are
directly due to defects in keeping
the rec,procating parts properly
ciled.
The Importance of this problem
in engine design and operation, AND
most vital of all-in refining lu-
bricating oil, has led automobile n
engine builders to conduct constant
research work to determine most
practical construction.
One oil refining company has kept
pace with the automobile n engine
builders in this work for the ad-
vancement of lubricating methods.
The Tide Water Oil Company erect
ed a large special laboratory In
Bayonne deliberately equipped TO de-
termine the exact service ef1ciency
of oils in various types Of gasoline
engines, transmissions. etc.
After years of experimenting new
kind of oil was evolved by n
Tide Water laboratory staf, Veedol.
This lubricant differs from ordinary
Gil because it is made differently
by a special method called n
Faulkner process. Due to this pro

BOOK OUT TEN
YEARS IS BACK
Library Gets Volumes BacF
That Have Been Out
for Years

There seems to be a story con-
nected with every book hat is re-
turned to the library during the
bargain week" campaign which
ends tonight. They have come from
east, west, south and north, from all
sections of Perth Amboy In response
to the call of the first campaign
held here along these lines.
Yesterday a book was returned
which had been out ten years. Two
others came in after absences of
eight and six years each. They
seem to be coming from all sorts of
homes and all sorts of people. All
are taking advantage of h e feature
that allows overdue books to be re-
turned free of charge and with no
questions asked. Many of the vol
umes have been resurrected from
attics and forgotten corners of
drawers. Spring housekeeping has
produced others. while searches Of
home libraries have revealed stin
other ''lost' books.
Today is the last day of the CAM
paign and all struggling volumes
must be returned before the library
closes tonight If the borrowers wish
to escape fines.
In the cases of the books that
were returned after ten, eight, and
six years, it has been found that the
volumes in question were marked
off the library records as lost. In
two cases the filing card was re-
turned with the book, showing that
they had been taken carelessly out
without being recorded at the desk.
OF course the next inventory would
show them to be missing.
Four days of the campaign have
resulted in the return of some sew
|enty-five books. worth probably well
over 800. The movement has been
eminently worth while from the IL
brary standpoint, and 1t is hoped
that even more books will show up
before tonight. 1t Is barely possible
that some are even now being hast
lily finished" so they may be re-
turned before 9 o'clock.
In any case tonight Is h last
chance to return books without ex-
pense, regardless of why or how they
were kept and the library makes
this last appeal to the people OF
Perth Amboy. The more books In
circulation, the better library a city
has and the better is the service that
may be rendered. Borrowers are
welcome to keep books for the legal
period but at its expiration they are
urgently requested to bring them
back.

MEETING
FOR z|0N|STS
Palestine Mandate to be Dis
cussed at Tomorrow Nights
Session Here

An important conference OF the
Zionists of Perth Amboy is to be
held tomorrow night in the Beth
Mordecai synagogue. The occasion
for the calling of this special con-
ference is the desire on the part
of the Zionists to organize an efiec-
tive propaganda in favor OF the
ratification by the League OF Ma
tons of the British mandate over
Palestine. The terms of the man
late charge Great Britain with ad-
ministering the affairs of Palestine
in accordance with the policy of the
Balfour declaration, which favors
the establishment in Palestine OF a
national home for the Jewish peo-
pie. 1t moreover recognizes the
Zionist organization as the Jewish
agency" which is officially to rep
resent the Jewish people in the re-
construction of its national home.
AS the question of mandates Is to
come before the League OF Nations
for final disposition at Its next SEES
sion which commences on the 2Sth
of this month, the Zionist organi-
zation is initiating an extensive
propaganda in favor of ratification
of the Palestine mandate.
1t is well-known that. although
not represented on the League OF
Nations, the attitude of he Ameri-
can people and government VIII
carry great weight in the delibera-
tions of the league and the Zionist
organization is therefore interested
in eliciting the expression of the
favorable public opinion that gem
eralIy prevails in this country. This
should not be difficult. The Zionist
movement has received favorable
comment from President Harding
and a number OF the most promin-
ent figures of both parties in h
present government, not to mention
the endorsement which Ii received
from the Wilson administration dur
ing the war. This week a resolution
was introduced in Congress by Rep
resentative Fish Of New York ia
vorable to the. ratification of the
Palestine mandate. r
At a national Zionist conference
held in Philadelphia on March 20
a confidential report on the politi-
cal situation of the Zionist move
ment was rendered and measures
adopted designed to strengthen the
Zionist position. One of the objects
of the present conference is to give
Perth Amboy's delegation to the
Philadelphia conference an oppor-
tunity to report its results.
The main address to be delivered
at the conference. will be that of
Louis Lipsky. general secretary of
the Zionist Organisation Of Amer
lea. MI. Lipsky is well known in
Jewish circles for his distinguished
service to the Zionist cause, his ex-
pert knowledge of Zionist affairs.
and his effectiveness as q public
speaker.

1t seems apparent that no public
action in the matter will be taken
by the commissioner. Asked about
the rumors that Mr.. Rockhill and
Mrs. Cornelia B. Meytrott, his Office
clerk. have been using the girls for
outside work, Commissioner Lewis
said he did not believe them.
Mrs. Meytrott today admitted us

CARRY THEIR OWN PERFUME
Many Varieties Of the Male Butterfly
Are Highly Scented, Probably as
an Attraction.

Many species of butterflies are
scented like flowers and they carry
their scent In bottles. Strangely
enough, too II Is the male and not the
female butterfly that carries the scent
bottles, and he uses the scent, no
doubt, TO attract the female. II we
brush a finger over the wing of the
common garden white butterfly we
find the finger covered with white
dust OF scales, and the dust will be
found to have n delicate perfume OF
lemon or balsam. II we then examine
the scales under n microscope we find
that some of the scales are modified
In shape, and these modified scales
are little scent bottles, and often have
brush OF fine hairs from which the
scent evaporates. In the frltlllaries
the scent-scales are grouped together
In stripes and patches. and can be
seen by the naked eye, and In others
the scales are In patches. Most of the
scented butterflies are comparatively
duh In their hues, suggesting that the
scent Is given to them as compensa-
tlon, and some of the dull-colored
night butterflies or moths have quite
n strong odor.

Today this man Is one of the high
est paid illustrators in the country.
He might have been a fair illustrator
and a fair singer, or good singer
and bad Illustrator. But he chose
the career for which he had the
greater talent, and stuck to 1t.
The late Charles Il. Van Loan In
youth developed considerable talent
for drawing. When he was fourteen
or fifteen his teachers predicted that
he would some day be great artist.
But he discovered that he could
write better than he could draw, and
thereafter he drew only to amuse his
friends and his children.
All his energies were bent toward
learning to write, and learn to write
he did.
Many men are born with little tai.
ant for several different activities.
And many such ruin their lives by
scattering their energies instead of
concentrating them or the one thing
they can do best.
Time allotted to man is insufficient
for the mastery of even single art
or profession.
Few men, however great, ever die
with the feeling that they have reached
anything like the standards they set
for themselves.
There is always something still to
learn when the summons comes to lay
labor aside forever.

Something to
Think Ab0uf
GALL is WELL"
b. r. II. WALKER

TN A clause in the will Of Prof.
i George Trumbull Ladd, late OF
Yale university provision was
made that his body should be cremat-
ed and that u portion of the ashes
should be buried beside camphor
tree which he had planted In 1907 in
the yard of the School of Commerce
In Nagasaki, Japan.
Professor Ladd was an authority on
Oriental matters and had lectured In
universities In Japan and India.
81 have lived and loved and labored,
and all Is WE'LL" was the impressive
epitaph he chose to mark his grave.
Are you living and loving and la
ney, you can say, "all is well"?
What volume of meaning there
Is In those three monosyllables and
the splendid words preceding them
To live and love and labor. and to
do nothing more would In little while
turn arid wastes to blooming gardens,
and lift from the world its burden of
care, Its burning hates and frightful
wars. Terrible Mars with his blear
eyes would he vanqulshed.
And so would the thorny road YOU
are travelling, while carrying In the
pack on your back old animosities
and jealousles that retard your prog
ress at every step.
We have each of us some whimsey
In the brain that keeps us from low
Ing and laborlng as we should.
We have within us pent-up tor
rents of factious words which In sud
den vents of anger we pour out and
flood the smooth road ahead until 1t
becomes impossible.
We wound the hearts of our dear
ones, and sometimes the hurt remains
through life.
We seemingly cannot agree on any
thing except hostility.
In sudden bursts Of passion, to live
and love and labor, that all may be
well Is remote from our thoughts.
Some of us, In moments of reflec-
tion, subdued perhaps by an odd mix
ture OF shame and self-reproach see
the error of our way. and hold our
selves In check, though the bride
chafes and the bits blister.
And so should we all, for to live
and love and labor ought to be our
chief purpose In life, for 1t will take
us through safely and enable us at
the end to write with glad heart
and steady hand, "all Is WE'LL"
