Starts Campaign
to Insure Use
of Western Oil

Declaring that every time a west
ern motorist put a quart of eastern
Oil into his crankcase, he pays ID
cents for pure prejudice, F. +. Al
bright, El Centre sales manager for
the Union Oil Company of Califor-
mia, has inaugurated a special drive
among his statesmen to promote the
use of western oil by western auto
ists.
$50 far as their actual lubricat.
inging value is concerned said
Mr.. Albright, at special meeting
OF his organization, "the only diff
ference between eastern and west
ern oil is one of price. The differ
ence is from natural, economic
causes and has nothing whatever
to do with quality. The western
product costs less for two very sim
pie reasons; first, the volume of
production is much greater, and,
second, being produced in the west
from western crude, the freight
rates are naturally much lower than
for the imported eastern pedigreed
oil.
"The fact is that western motor
oil is made from some of the finest
crudes for the purpose which this
country produces. AS Il motor lubri-
cant, it has the Endorsement of auto
mobile engineers of the highest
standing'
Aristo Motor oil. according to Mr..
Albright, is Il product of the finest
crude from the wells of the Union
Oil company-one of the oldest pio-
neers of petroleum in the west. The
Union started operations in 1888
with one we'll in the first western
oil fields. Gradually it has grown
until at present seven modern re
fineries are required to cope with
the demand for .Aristo, Union nom
detonation gasoline and other pro
duets of 40 years of research and
development.

Aged Woman Is
Reunited With
Anxious Family

JOY unrcstrained flowed at
the county farm yesterday af-
ternoon, when Mrs. Ramona
Bcrnalo, 81 years old, was re-
stored TO a group Of relatives
who had given her up for dead,
following her disappearance on
he desert near Kane Springs
on Thursday of last week.
The aged woman vas making
n trip to Brawlcy with her
grandson, r. Nosquez, resi-
dent of that city, when engine
trouble developed near Kane
Springs. The grandmother and
several other occupants of the
car alighted while repairs were
being made.
When these had been COM
pleted, it was discovered that
Mrs. BernaIo was missing.
Search was made for her with
out success, and the party CON
tinucd on its way to Brawlcy,
where the police were notified.
Search was made for her for
several days, and she was fin
ally located III the home of some
people who had found her wand
ering around in the desert.
She was brought to Brawley
and given u place to sleep in
the Brawley Jail and later was
brought to the county hospital.
esterday her grandson was
notified that she was at the
hospital, and together with
number of relatives, came to FL
Centro to get her.
AS the aged woman embraced
one after another of the party,
the air was punctured with the
rapid-fire chattering of Spanish
and cries Of affection. Accord.
ing to Superintendent Weir, it
WAS one of the most joyous re-
unions that has yet been wit
messed at the county farm, the
home of many tragedies and
comedies which are hidden from
the knowledge of the average
person.
