An Exclusive Process Behind Zerolene Quality
Western naphthenic base crudes not only make as
good oil any EASTERN, but in the opinion of many
fabrication engineers competent to judge - Lerolene
refining processes make an oil that's much superior.
Lubricatine qualities have never been moro
carefully or successfully preserved than by the
processes instituted at Standard Oil Company re-
fneries for the refining of Zerolene:
the Zeroene hieh-vacuun1 process developed
and patented by this company which preserves the
olness" and superior ubricatng qualities of the
fully selected crude:
- the Zerolene flterine process in which all Zero
lene is filtered through 20 tons of Florida Fullers
Earth flterng that makes Zeroene purer and safer
for the fine mechanisms of expensive motors than nine
out of ten so-called eastern oils:
the IS positive checks at the refinery which
make the control of Zeroene quality absolute:
Zerolene Better in Actual Practice
But Zerolene is just better oil in the laboratory
it is better oil because it Iubricates better That's
why Zerolene is successfully lubricating more in
the Pacific Coast States than any other oil made.
Zerolene will increase the gasoline mileage Of your

nance costs and lengthen the life of the engine.

In selecting these men particular
care had to be taken that they were
without connections who would wor-
ry about their absence. With the

Within fortnight of my arrival

Lippencott had wasted no time.
The Clutha was ready for sea and a
good part of her cargo had been
slowed. He had found papers TO ac-

good ship Clutha set out in fair

were more than amateur sailors ano

Philip ntinck Scrope, Marquis of

came my lieutenant while l remained
in Britain. He was invaluable, for
he enlisted the services of three
young men of good family whom 1

the other with the air force, and all
OF them had been wounded.

In Case of Lots of Love and Little Cash

would be the wisest thing that could
happen.
You know H. H., there is no telling
what women will do. You think she
hasn't any idea of how small your sal
airy is, but l have bunch that If she
has known you for two years, she
knows = great deal more about your
business affairs than you think she
does. Naturally, she can't tell you
about it. That's your job.
In the first place, there's world of
difference between two of your state
ments. Not being able to support
wife at all, and not being able to sup
port her in the way she has been ac-
customed to, are two different things.
If you are unable to support her, you
would be nothing less than a cad to
marry her. But If you are able to sup
port her, even thought it be on small
Ter scale, see no reason why you
shouldn't marry her, telling her, Of
course, just how things stand. II she
loves you, she may be willing to take
chance.
To sentimental, romantic person,
it may be rather shock to be told
that every girl should know the
amount of her future husbands pay
check. Common sense and self-inter-
est demand that couple talk In terms
of dollars before marriage than TO
learn after marriage that you cannot
keep up home.
am not advocating that man
should not marry until he can support
a wife in luxury. In fact, think a
few bumps will do lot toward bring
ing them closer together. 1t doesn't
take fortune for couple to marry
on. Marriage, however, does mean
making a home, and making home
means a pay check sufficient to cover
the necessities with few dollars left
over to save for "rainy day" There
should be frank discussion of finances
before a wedding date is thought of.
