from the crude is black and unat- traetive looking liquid.
 There are two main classes of crude oil, similar and yet character istically different in chemical con- stitu{ion- The, are generally known 'napthenic base" crudes because one contains paraffin wax and lNtle or no solid naphthas or asphalts, while the other contains no wax, but does con- tain solids of the character of as phalt. In oils made from the paraf- in crudes there is usually some wax Tn solution, as 1t dissolves and is not easy to remove completely. In the oils made from the other type of crude there should be no dissolved solids.
 The most important difference be- tween the two types of crude from the motor oil producers viewpoint is that they behave differently when heated in successive stages A paraf- fin base crude when heated can be readily split up into fuels and light oils. If the process Is stopped early there Is left as residue a thick heavy oil containing a variety of impurities dissolved in 1t. Further heating at higher temperatures narily would break the heavy oil into fuel oils or even gasolines.
 To make motor oils from paraffin base crude the customary method is to extract the light lubricating oil and then to take the residue without more heating, treat 1t so as to re- move the impurities by Altering or otherwise and then to mix the re- sulting product with the light oil in the different proportions necessary to give motor oils of the various necessary bodies. The residual heavy oil obtained by this method has always a deep emerald green color and puts sort of bloom on any mixture that is made with it, so an oil made in this way which Is called a Compounded oil' can al ways be recognized on sight.
 From the paraffin crude there is no commercial method of getting lu- bricating oils of mddling consis- tency except by mixing the light oil obtained by distillaton with the heavy residual oil left after distilla- ation has ceased, but this is not the casa with the raphthenic or asphaltic crude. With the latter the step by step boiling off process will provide oils up to the heaviest needed for au- tomobile engines without the addi- tion of anything that has not thus been boiled over. Such oils are called straight run"

BAN CHRISTMAS TREES
Canadian Urges Substitute For Yule-
 tide Decoration To Save Timher.

Confronted with the grave problem of timber shortage, men throughout Canada interested in numbering and forestry are investing their brain and braWn in the movement of forest con- servation
 Watching the annual destruction of small timber, which Qe claims is ap- palling, in the sacrifice for Christmas trees, George Carruthers, vice presi- dent of the Canadian Pulp and Paper association, has conceived the idea of homemakers substituting a decora- tive gift scheen for the Yuletide tree.
 For several years Mir Carruthers wrestled with the suggestion of a substitute for the Christmas tree which he has tried out with success in his own home, and which appeared as an exhibit at the Canadian Nation al Exhibition, 1923. The gift screen bearing all the characteristics of the fir or spruce from the bush, can, he states, readily be manufacured from green crepe paper by the handiwork of the mother in the home.
 The substitute, claims the inventor of the gift screen, also will serve the purpose of awakening in the minds of the boys and girls a consciousness of the value of the forest. and educat them to the folly of backing down small trees to provide a few hours pleasure.-Detroit News.

temperature and catching that, then raising the heat and repeating the process we can separate it Into very many parts. Of course. 1t cannot be boiled in open air, as it would take fire instantly. The details of the process are far too elaborate to describe here, but stripped down to essentials, boiling truthfully de- scribes the procedure to which all crude oil is first subjected.
 Now crude oil is indeed worthy of its name. for it contains all sorts of other things besides the fuels and oil we want to get from 1t. Impur- ities which are solid are easily sepa- rated because most of them will stay in the still after the boiling off process is finished, but all kinds of acids and other deleterious matters come over with the oils.

Used cars make practical Christ mas gifts in the opinion of many Bir- mingham dealers, who are batting their stock in shape for the holiday trade.
 Many persons believe a used car as a rule is worn too badly to become a profitable investment, and this con- tention leads to considerabel discus sion as to what is a used car. The dealers maintain that any car that has been driven downtown and back home Is from then on a used car but surely no one will argue that such car has In any way lost it's ability to giveservice for the many thou sands of miles for which 1t was origi- nally intended.
 Dealers frequently trade in cars that have only been driven a few hundred miles. Many buy a new car at least once year. Because of death, sickness, removal or other req son some owners are obliged to sac- rifice practically new cars. Ere quently. too, a man finds his car un- suited to his particular requirements and trades for 8 different model.
 Every year these causes alone throw on the market thousands of absolutely good cars, which will give miles and miles of honest service. Dealers in Birmingham. have such cars and will be glad to demonstrate then. as practical Christmas gifts, at practical prices and on easy terms. Special Values.
