AIR MAIL SUCCESS

The success of the trans-continental
air mail service beteen New York and
San Francisco marks new era in
American mail transportation. The
flying time for the nearly 1000 miles
is n trifle less than 20 hours. The
service is not an experiment. Trans
continental air mail for the last five
years has shown steady gains in eff.
ficiency. But the service recently in.
augurated has some novel features.
particularly night flying. Science and
American ingenuity have taken a long
step toward the annihilation OF dis.

Caspar OIL, New Motor
Lubricant, Said to Be
Perfect Blend

For years castor oil has been
used as Al ideal, dependable,
lubricant IN cases where an
unbreakabIe oil film was vitality
necessary. For example, castor
oil was used alone to lrbricate
the motors Of battle airplanes
during the war.
Castor oil is too heavy and
sticky for ordinary use in au-
tOmobile motors. SO it is blended
to be practicable for everyday
use and by blending mineral oil
and castor oil q perfected prod
uct, Caspar oil, is obtained.
The manufacturers Of Caspar
oil do not use commercial castor
oil but the best cold pressed
white castor oil ohtainable and
mineral oil. "A factory repre-
sentative will be ia this city
and arrange i wide distribution
Of this oil. AT the present time
It is obtainable at 1900 Four
