France and Britain
Apart on Disarmament

Geneva, Dec. S.-(AP)-Apparentl
France and Great Britain are widely
separated on at least one important
point in connection with the disarma-
ment question, although NJ Paul
Bouncour and Lord Cecil. respectively
the French and British chief delegates
to the disarmament council of the
League of Nations. deny there has
been a split.
This one point is whether the COM
mission which is to prepare the agenda
for the proposed disarmament confer
ence should study the question Of mu-
tuai assistance of an effective nature
against warning nation. III. Paul
Boncour is insistent that security and
disarmament are closely related. Bel
GUM takes a similar view. Lord
Cecil is in agreement with them but
he doubts the wisdom of the inquiry
suggested by the French. being of the
belief that 1t would overburden the
work OF the commission.

Old Oil May be
Used Again By
Use of New Process

Auburn, Dec. S.-(AP)-Deconstra
tions here indicate that old crank
case oil of automobiles which has
been regarded fit for nothing may be
reclaimed and used again.
DIR. C. d. Miller, who is engaged in
research work III the department of
agricultural engineering of the Agri-
cultural College ofythc Alabama Poly
tochnic Institute has succeeded in
/ WORKING out . rle''>~' fo- .i7.r
! or laundering cid oil at cost st.mat
ed by HIM q, less tIid.i I'VE ceIi.s a
gallon.
In studying the problem, DIR. Mil
Ter found that oil does not wear out''
by use in crankcase. and neither
does it change its composition Some
losses occur mechanically and by oxi-
dation, but the oil itself remains SUBJ
stantially the same as it was before
used. 1t is rendered unfit for service
by contamination with other sub
stances. such as carbon and other
solids, and certain constituents of gas
oline.
The removal of these substances is
all that is required for its successful
reclamation This can be done by
! pouring oil into a tank. adding a
, washing powder blowing steam
through 1t for about three hours. al
lowing it to settle and then drawing
off the oil from the top. leaving the
foreign substances, both solid and
liquid, in the bottom.
When treated this way the steam
is partly condensed. dissolving the
| washing powder, which has the prop
erty of loading down the carbon and
other solid particles in the oil with a
| film of the solution, causing them to
coagulate somewhat as casein coagu-
lates in milk when it curdles. This
, causes the solid particles to settle to
| the bottom of the container, forming
layer of sludge or muck between
the oil and the solution. The uncon-
| densed portion of the steam carries
| the gasoline away with it as vapor.
On the efficiency of this method
Dr. Miller says that four quarts of
oil as 1t is drawn ordinarily from a
crankcase should return three quarts
of oil as good as new.
While the practical use OF this dis
covery remains TO be determined. DR.
Miller predicts that many garages and
service stations will take advantage
| of il.

released later, but they had learned
their lesson. Any sort of al agree
