standard" Wins In
Fifty-Hour Test

In his engine laboratory, a Large
truck manufacturer made fifty
hour test to compare Standard"
Motor Oil with other oils under
the same operating conditions
all power generated being used TO
overcome friction. With other
well-known oils, the number of
revolutions per minute had
dropped fifty per cent at the end
of the fifty hours. With standard"
Motor Oil not only was the initial
speed FIVE per cent greater, but
this speed was maintained
throughout the test.
Since this test was at idling speeds,
the motorist can appreciate that
il indicates less friction and motor
wear in starting - less wear m
continuous operation.

*OUGHTON MAY
HAVE OPPOSITION
Understood that w. r. Baugess of
jefferson is Considering Making
Race Against Farmer Bob. if
Al Smith is Nominated

Congressman r. l.. Doughton of
the eighth North Carolina district,
is to be opposed for the seat in
congress by W. R. Baugess of JEFF
ferson, well known Republican poll
tician, according to word brought to
the city yesterday by friends and
supporters of the jefferson man,
says the Greensboro News of Tues
day.
Mr.. Baugess, it was said, has
made no formal statement of having
an intention to run, but friends who
have "felt him out" recently declare
he is in receptive mood. Mr.. Bau-
CESS, It is said, is a scrapper from
away back and has strong follow
ing in the eighth district, which is
one Of those the G. O. P. forces
would like to snatch from the Demo-
cratic fire.
The report from jefferson was
about the only political development
here yesterday other than the failure
of any sentiment for a Hoover club
to flare up. Hoover has many sup
porters among the Republicans in
Greensboro, but so do Governor
Lowden, Vice President Dawes, Nick
LongwOrth and others. In fact, the
q. o. P. stalwarts in Greensboro are
about as evenly divided as possible
with number of them admittedly
on the fence awaiting the passing of
the band wagon. They do not want
to leap and then learn they are in
wrong-plenty of time to be right,
they confess.

LAW ON FISH LICENSES
WESTERN CAROLINA GIVEN

Fifteen western North Caroline
counties are now included among
those where licenses are required fol-
all types of fishing in trout streams
according to Wade H. Phillips, di,
rector and j. X. Dixon, assistant d.
rector of the department of conser-
walton and development.
Although the state anglers law
passed by the 1927 general assembly
only required licenses for those per-
sons engaged in sport angling or who
fish with rod and reel or by casting,
special provision empowered the
board of conservation and develop
ment to extend the requirement of a
license to any trout stream in the
state on petition of county commits
sioncrs.
As a result of this authorization,
this extension has been made in the
following counties: Madison, Clay,
Graham, Mitchell, Surry, Jackson,
Haywood, Avery, Buncombe, Ale
ghany, Wilkes, Ashe, Pennsylvania,
Watauga and Swain.
THE fisherman who uses only a
pail hook and line" asserted Direc-
tor Phillips, benefits as much from
stocking the streams with fish as do
those who use other kinds of tackle
and it is only fitting that they should
help bear a part of the expense of
populating the streams with more
fish.
-Four of the present five state
operated hatcheries are located in
the mountain counties and the larger
part of the benefits are derived
therefrom in the counties in which
they are and those adjacent. Part
of the operating expenses of the
are borne from the funds
received from license collections,
and part of which also goes toward
furnishing warden service by which
the laws are administered

by unanimous vote requested Gov

The Rockefeller gift will be made

Smith Holds Whip Hand in
California

Senator Walsh's entrance into the
California primaries under the guild
ance of William G. McAdoo depends
for its importance on how much of
an impression Senator Reid has
made on the Pacific coast. The ma
jority of the Democratic voters being
wet in that state it was taken for
granted that Smith would hold the
delegation. Now, however, there is
apparently very slight possibility
that Reid may split the vote with
the New Yorker, leaving the dry fac
tion for Walsh. This state of affairs
is extremely unlikely, however, in
view of the fact that Reid is prac-
tically unknown to Californians in
general and that they really believe
victory is in sight with Smith at the
head of the ticket. Governor Smiths
supporters remember that it hasn't
been so long since Democracy had
a look-in in California and hope of
presidential success is more potent
than prohibition, even among many
of the drys. Furthermore, indica-
tions seem to poin to an increase in
the Smith prestige as result of the
Missourian's liberal speeches. In
the Rocky Mountain region and in
the extreme northwest the New
York governor has united followings.
Idaho, where Smith sentiment was
almost nil four years ago, has al
ready instructed her "a delegates
for the governor, while Utah, Ne
vada and other states where the
Mormons are strong are expected to
follow suit. The tendency of the
mountain states is manifest from
the circumstance that most of the
men who came as delegates for Nc
Adoo in 1924 are now candidates
for places on Smith delegations.
Should Walsh do better in the west
than is now indicated, he may be
taken up by the south with little en-
thusiasm, because of his religion
and because of senate speech in
which he referred to the technical
treason of southern congressman at
the beginning of the Civil war, for
which expression he was taken to
task by southerners.

WHEELER SAYS DEMOCRATIC
PARTY MUST BE PROGRESSIVE

Washington, March 5.-Outlining
his views on a campaign platform,
Senator Wheeler of Montana, de-
clared today that "unless the Demo-
cratic party becomes progressive
and liberal it will be wiped off the
map" He spoke before the Wom-
ems National Democratic club and
avoided any reference to candi-
dates. The Montana Democrat, who
in 1924 ran for vice president on
the LaFollette licked, said the
Democratic party must take a fear
less stand to protect the rights of
the masses against special privilege,
which he contended had been bene-
fitting under Republican rule.
