WHAT OIL is BEST
FOR USE IN CARS
M-COLD WEATHER?
Paramount Official Gives
Some Timely
Hints.
BY w. b. HOWARD.
President Paramount Petroleum
Products Co.

Many motorists seem to think that
/ it is necessary that the oil they use
in winter should be able to flow at
zero in its natural condition i'm order
to be usuable. This assumption is
based ON rather incomplete knowl-
edge of the functions of a motor oil.
Although the oil stump is cooled
more rapidly in winter by low air
Temperatures, the conditions inside
the motor are much the same as in
ANpmer. The flames of the gasoline
~ plosiOns average about 1000 de-
1grees, and runs to about 800 or 400
degrees on the cylinder walls. The
foil in circulating through the motor
must run the gauntlet of this terrific
heat. and still retain its lubricating
lqualities.
ye9y low cold test lubricants can
only be made from asphaltic base
Tolls. and then only by decreasing the
Flash and fire tests. Thus they are
rendered more vulnerable to heat, and
suffer destructive action when pass

base, although having slightly high
Ter cold test, have much higher flash
4 and burn points, and are therefore,
able to resist the heat rayages of the
4 gasoIine combustion much better.
Moreover. the paraffine base oil even
when chilled leaves a coating of lubri-
cant on the moving metal parts
which serves to protect them and pro-
wide fabrication until the motor
warns up. OF course. this appliss
only to extreme conditions. as neither
Jasphaltic nor paraffine base oils will
3chill under ordinary winter condi-
1 tions.
One other point should be consid-
iered. Dilution of the oil in the crank
ease by gasoline is frequent when
starting in cold weather. and that
alone will considerably lower the cold
test of the oil. Therefore. if the cold
test of the oil is low to begin with. it
will be still further lowered and the

1t would seem best to select the mo-
tor oil in winter, as in summer, from
the standpoint of the general lubri-

paraffine base oil is used. no fear
need be felt lest bearings should burn

Hoover Booster
For Products of
Imperial Valley

Though his interest is world
wide rather than local, Herbert
Hoover may be classed as a definite
booster for one of Imperial s most
valuable products milk.
This IS brought out in the shape
Of information received from Cali
fornia Dairy Council in connection
with the Imperial Valley Dairy Pro
ducts for health campaign, to be
held January 10 to 26 inclusive.
Hoover is the man who said,
"The white race cannot survive
without dairy products.
Hoover was one of the principal
speakers before the World s Dairy
Congress, recently held in Washing
ton, D. c., and Syracuse, New York,
and at that worldwide meeting he
reiterated his conviction that the
white race must have dairy products
to get along.
Since Imperial County produces
C,519,073 pounds of butterfat in
year, this statement on the part
OF Hoover means much to the dairy
men OF Imperial valley. hoover s
statement, combined with recent
scientific discoveries and the cam
paigns conducted by California Dai-
ry Council, have had very marked
effect in increasing the use Of dai-
ry products in the American home.
However, it has been ascertained
that people in the rural districts do
not use dairy products so extensive
ly as those in the cities. This
strange condition exists in spite of
the fact that the source Of dairy pro
ducts is in the country.
Hoover reached his conclusion
about dairy products as {. result of
the work he carried on during the
world war in feeding children in the
famine areas of Europe fer the Am
crican Relief Administration.

BIRMINGHAM BUYERS LEAVE FOR NEW YORK;
 IN SPECIAL L. & N. CAR

Concerted action on the part of for mercantile establishments has resulted in a special car being char tered for the purpose of attending New York markets en masse. This is said to be the first movement of it's kind in the history of Biming- ham. Members of the group, which will include buyers from the largest retail firms in the city, will leave Birmingham Saturday night, and will arrive in New York Monday morn- ing.
 Travel to the eastern markets is said to be an increasing problem. and this departure from established customs is the result of investiga- ton started by progressive mer- chants to find solution by which the growing demand for frequent trips to trade centers could be sat- Isfied.
 The special sleeping car will be on the northbound train, No. 1, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Saturday evening, departing at S'42 o'clock, and arriving in New York at 9:35 o'clock Monday morning. Members of the party will include MT. and Mrs. Leopold Loeb. Leo Loeb. B. F.

F 0 R M FIR EMPL0YES
 TAKE NAME, CLAIM. INJUNCTION SOUGHT.

Along with Shakespeare and other celebrities, W. C. Morris, proprietor of the Mason-Dixie Detective agency, can now speak authoritatively on the subject of ingratitude and unkind cuts. He qualified by filing in the chancery division of the circuit court a motion seeking to enjoin B. Butler, M Taylor and T. G. Green from in- cooperating a detective agency un- der the style of The Mason-Dixie De- tective agency.
 Here Is how it happened. Norris alleges that he opened a detective 1922, under the name of the Mason Dixie Detective agency. He says he executed contracts and assumed ob- legations under the name. In the course of his business. according to the petition filed in chancery court, he employed B. Butler and M. Taylor as operatives.
 Butler and Taylor knew the name of his agency. Morris asserts, but de- spite this knowledge they, with Green, filed articles of incorporation for an agency under the name of the Mason Dixie Detective agency This step was taken November 2s, 1922. Morris says they are seeking to use the reputation he built up by in- cooperating under the name ne adopted for his agency. For this reason he wants an injunction.

BELT AGREEMENT.
 RATIFIED IN ORDER
 IF UTILITIES BOARD.
Removal of Track to Be Re- sumed at 0nce-- City to Relet All Paving
 Contracts

Removal of one track of the Bir- mingham Belt railway between Seventeenth and Twenty first streets, on Avenue E, south. and between q point 100 feet west of Twentyfourth street and Twenty fifth street, will be started at once, under provisions of an order promulgated Friday morning by the Alabama public ser vice commission, sitting at the Jef- ferson county court house. W. R. c. Cooke of Cabahiss, Johnston, Cooke & Cabanss, attorneys for the railroad, made this announcement following adjournment of the public service commission hearing.
 Another ordinance covering paving on Avenue E, between Seventeenth and Twenty fifth streets. will be pre- pared and adopted by the city, con- tracts will be relet and new agree ment will be entered into with the belt railway, according to w. A. Jenkins, assistant city attorney, who represented the city at the hearing.
 The public service commission at it's hearing ratified compromise agreement reached by interested par ties early Thursday afternoon.
 Removal of the track had been held up for some time by temporary in- junction granted the Harris Transfer and Warehouse company.
 A. C.. Patterson, president of the Alabama public service commission, presided, with associate commission CTS s. P. Gaillard and B. H. Cooper present. Leroy Percy represented the Harris Transfer and Warehouse com pany and other property owners on Avenue p opposing track removal, and Sidney J. Bowie represented the Crawford Auto Shop and other prop erty owners favoring substitution of single track throughout the length of Avenue E for the double track.
 Question Up Some Weeks Ago
 The controversy arose several weeks ago when the Birmingham Belt company commenced removal of enc track, under an agreement reached with the city. in view of paving about to be started. The Harris Transfer and Warehouse company instituted injunction proceedings, claiming they were entitled to switching facilities. Trey were supported by a number of other property owners; their ef- forts were opposed by another ele ment that contended double track caused traffic congestion.
 Following is the order of the pub lie service commission:
 "The Birmingham Belt Railroad company is hereby authorized and permitted to take up and abandon one of it's tracks on Avenue E, be- tween Seventeenth street and the east side of Twenty first street, and also from a point 100 feet west from the west side of Twentyfourth street to Twenty-fifth street, and between designated points to construct and operate a single track only; and 1t is further ordered that the Birming- ham Belt Railroad company shall construct and operate a double track on Avenue E from the east side of Twenty first street to point 100 feet distant west from the west side of Twenty y-fourth street, with the necessary connections, between the lines of double track between those points. It Is further ordered that the permission herein granted shall ap- ply tc the tracks only between Seventeenth street and Twenty-fifth street. on Avenue E.

MRS. ECHOLS ASSAILSI CITY MANAGER PLAN BEFORE CIVITAN CLUB.

"A city is not a business corpo- ration and should not be managed as one,'' declared Mrs. Mary Echols. commissioner of health and education, before the Civitan club Friday.
 The fallacy of the whole argu- ment," said Mrs. Echols, "is that the city Is considered as money making, business corporation. It IS rot. The 'raison detre' of city gov ernment is to build schools, streets, and parks, to protect the public and to safeguard it's health.
 They say a manager can run the city more economically. Why, l can do that. We can eliminate the health department and who will remark it's absence? The death rate will go up, but then we will save a few thou sand dollars, so what will be the loss? The amount of money spent by city is not an indication of what is going on.
 Now, 1t Is barely possible that a board of directors of 20 persons will elect better manager for the city than the public at large, but doubt it. Moreover, you cannot change aldermen to directors by changing their titles.
 They propose to pay their 'direc- tors $500 a year. That Is another weak point of their plan. There are many public spirited citizens who will serve the city gratuitously and who would count it an honor to do so. But they will not enter politics for $500 year. If you pay that salary you will get men who are of that caliber-probably.
 Upon motion of pr. c. W. Shrop- shire, the club went on record appeal ing to all citizens of Birmingham to pay their poll taxes. The sugges- ton came, Dr. Shropshire said, upon information from the court house that poll taxes were coming in slowly.
 A balance of s22.67 was reported from the Christmas tree party, and it was voted to the luncheon fund of the Mercy Home. Dr. T. A. Cheat ham was enthusiastically commended for his work in arranging the Christ mas party.
