Products Company.

Before petroleum was discovered
fatty oils were used exclusively for
the fabrication of all machinery. When
paraffine base petroleum was discov-
cred naturally the tendency was TO
substitute this oil for the fatty oils
for the fabrication of all types of en-
gines.
As fatty oil has a higher flash and
fire point than a mineral oil and it
has the peculiar characteristic of be-
ing able not only TO resist heat 10 a
better degree than straight mineral
oil, but to resist withdrawal from an
overheated surface to a cooler sur
face, thereby preventing dry spots
from being formed insengines and pre-
venting metallic contact, with the re-
sultant abrasion from scoring.

AIDES that a fatty oil has a greater
cooling point than a straight mineral
oil. This can best be illustrated by

Dodge Brothers have not
simply brought out a COM
plete new line of motor cars.
They have done something
infinitely wiser and better
than that.
They have brought new
beauty, new riding ease and
new mechanical perfection
to the product on which
their reputation as builders
has been founded.
They have built a better
and a more desirable line of
motor cars yet basically
and fundamentally iden-
tity of their product remains
the same.
The same sturdy engine is
under the hood; the same
dependable chassis, i'm
proved in numberless de-
tails, underlies the body.
But the rear springs-now
underslung-have been ma
terially heightened. The
wheelbase, too, is longer,
and the combined result is
q notable improvement in
riding qualities.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

Bodies of all types havebeen
designed to give improved
appearance, and greater
comfort. Lower, longer,
with deeper seats and more
leg room, the lines Of these
new cars are low-swung and
graceful-the interiors are
comfortable and roomy.
New head lamps and fen

and cowl effect-longer and
wider running boards-un-
usually wide doors-com-
bination stop signal and tail
larnp-and instruments at
tractively grouped on raised
panel-are a few of the
numerous body innovations
common to all types.
Combining these features
with important mechanical
improvements too numer-
Gus and technical to emu

Gail Won Ende have just been notified
by The League of Curtis Salemen of
Philadelphia, that they have been
chosen for high degrees in that or

Mother CHARGED
With KIDNAPPING
BROUGHT HERE FROM GENESEE
TO ANSWER CHARGE-SHERIFF
HAS CHILDREN.

Mrs. Meta Wagner, and her father,
Smith Prunty, of Portland, Oregon,
were arrested yesterday in Genesee
by the local sheriff's office and a
charge of kidnapping placed against
them after they had forcibly taken
the two minor children of Mrs. Wag-
ner from the care of the legally ap-
pointed guardian, John Bother, who
had in turn placed the two children
in the care of their grandmother, Mrs.
Bother of Genesee.
Mrs. Wagner, who has resided in
Portland for the past several years,
was given the custody of the two
children in the decree of divorce OBJ
tanned few years ago when she Sc
parated from her husband, William
Bother. Both the parties to the di-
vorce afterwards married again, and
the children were in the habit of
spending an allotted time visiting with
their father each year, as provided in
the original decree of divorce given
to the mother.
Father Killed
The children were visiting the fa-
ther a year ago, when he was acci-
killed in a runaway. The
children went temporarily to live with
their grandmother, Mrs. Bother. in
Genesee, and remained in her care un-
til a legal guardian was appointed
by the probate court. John Bother,
an uncle of the children, was named
their guardian, and Immediately gave
them into the care of the grand
mother, since which time battle has
been waged by the two parties now
under arrest and facing a charge of
to gain possession of the
children.
The father left life insurance poll
icy of $4,000, and the belief has been
that the contention over the possess
sion OF the two minor children has
been largely precipated through that
source
This angle to the case was today
declared to be untrue by Morgan and
Aeane, Moscow law firm retained by
Ine guardian. In a statement given
% The Star-Mirror this afternoon, the
attorneys stated that the total amount
IL money which the two children came
nto possession Of at the death of
heir father did not exceed $1,000.
whereas several statements have been
given out that they became benefici-
tries to the amount of $4,000 or

Genesee for the next seven weeks
o complete their school term" said
1r Morgan today. "An erroneous
eport has been given out that the
money consideration is the primary
ontention, which is not even being
onsidered."
The case will likely come up in
he district court within the next day
r two, and possibly tomorrow, when

cuses and a convention, for the pur-
poses of selecting candidates for mayor
and council and for city clerk and
city treasurer, was issued, and
ordered published
The call provides that qualified

TAKES BALL TEAM

COACH MACMILLAN SHO0S VAN
DAL NINE TO WARMER CLINE
FOR SPRING TRAINING.

The University of Idaho baseball
squad, IL strong, left Moscow, Tues
day morning for Lewiston, where
they will spend the balance of the
spring vacation week taking advant-
age of the almost California weather
prevalent in the Snake river valley.
The university athletic department
had planned for several weeks to take
the squad to the Lewiston lots for a
spring training period, but had prac-
tically abandoned the idea after get
ting a taste of the unusually warm
Moscow weather during the latter part
Of March.
The heavy rains of Easter Sunday
and Monday, however, brought with
them colder weather, and so soaked
the Moscow diamond that practice on
it for practically the entire week was
declared impossible.
Team Coming Good
With a weeks good work and
warm weather on the banks of the
Snake, the Idaho team should be in
pretty good shape" said Coach David
here just prior to taking
his men to their spring training camp.
" Half a dozen of my best men have
been putting in the majority of their
time at spring football practice the
past ten days, so that baseball work
has slowed up. We are depending
great deal on our work this week to
put the team in tip-top condition. The
staff is coming along good,
and the men all seem to be finding
heir batting a little more natural.
Both the infield and the outfield men
are showing good preseason form,
Ind according to all indications that
can see, Idaho will have a good
line to put into the field this spring"

MANY TREES PLANTED
in NORTHERN FORESTS

In recent statement issued by c.
X. McHarg, supervisor of the Occur
dAlene and St. Joe national forests,
total of 34,377 acres of burnt-over
and cut-over land was said to have
been planted by the national forest
service in North Idaho and Montana
Eighty per cent of this acreage" the
statement continues, has a stand of
100 or more trees to the acre" In
the white pine belt, $4,000 acres have
been planted to new trees, of which
over 80 per cent has a stand of more
than 100 trees to the acre. The ST.
Joe forest leads in established planta-
tions with total of 1856 acres.
:" In the northern district of the
forest service, north Idaho and Mon
tana, 5000 to 1000 acres are planted
each year. Three million trees are
raised annually to supply stock for
this acreage
All planting in the district is at
present being confined to the white
pine belt because conditions in this
region are not favorable to tree
growth. The species used, white pine,
is of greatest commercial value and
because the largest burned-over areas
in need of refOrestatiOn are in this
belt. The acreage in need of refores-
tation in the white pine type is not
known, but $4,000 acres would be a
estimate and that would
include only double burns. 1t is the
present policy to plant double burns,
because in most cases natural repro
duction comes in on single burns in
the white pine type
AS to cost, $40 an acre is about
the average. This includes every
thing from the cost of the seed, rails
ing the stock in the nursery survey
ing the area, and planting"

A petition was circulated here the
first of the week asking the newly
appointed state game warden to re-
appoint l.. E. Brooks of Moscow, as
his deputy for this district. The petit
tion was literally signed, as the peo-
pie of this community appreciate the
service which Mr.. Brooks has
rendered his department during the
tenure of his office. He has done
more active work than any game
warden we have had in this section
for years. His re-appointment would
meet with general satisfaction among
the sportsmen of his district-Kend-
