If the intimation OF entering the

workers would seek to select the
lawmakers favorable to their pro-

This, 1t was pointed out, would
simply, call on the voters to express
themselves concerning the highway
plan in the election Of representa-
tives, the same as they state road
committee hopes to have them eX-
press themselves later In the sub
mission Of the constitutional
amendment. If the people refuse
to elect supporters Of the highway
finance plan. they reasonably would
be expected to refuse to amend the
constitution to authorize the bonds.
according TO the reasoning Of the
road boosters.
Lessons OF the narrow defeat OF

For one thing. the program will

The amendment. as now favored
will be to authorize the legislature
to issue highway bonds. as 1t may

would retain the safeguard Of re-

bonds could be I'D. II was point

Then also the amendment will
contain a general provision r.

EXPERT URGES
LUBRICATiON
Magnolia Official Explains
Strain On Engine When
Car To Speeding
Especial to The Heraid)

DALLAS, Aug. 6.-"Few motorists
understand what goes or in an
automobile engine when driven at
speeds Of IS miles an hour and high
er." In the opinion of Fred J. Bed
ford. manager Of the %lubricating de-
partment OF the Magnolia Petro-
leum company.
AT high speeds, the automobile
engine Is subjected to terrific strain
and fierce heat. Even at lower
speeds in hot weather. over long dis
tances, II generates an intense de-
gree Of heat.
Every moving part Of the motor
must get the right amount Of lubri-
cation and get it at the right time if
1t is to have complete protection
against heat and friction" Mr.. Bed
ford explained.
Oil Distribution
Proper distribution of the crank
case oil and its ability to stand up
under terrific heat and at high
speeds are two factors that largely
determine the length Of life Of a
motor and the sort Of service IL
gives its owner. When either N of
those qualities r lacking a dam
aged motor is sure to result.
Hundreds Of tests have shown
that motor oils with a paraffine
base retain their l~ubricating value
longer under intense heat and at
high speeds than asphalt base oils.
That Is because paraffine base
crudes are given a heat-resisting
quality by nature that she has not
given asphalt crudes.
IT is one Of natures secret ways
III working wonders. just as she
gives great value to a diamond and
little value to a single lump Of coal.
The oil in the crankcase may be
an excellent paraffine base oil. yet
fail to do an adequate job Of lubri-
cation. It NAV be the wrong grade.
II may have the wrong consistency.
For example. an oil that is too
heavy will not distribute properly
because 1t is too slow Oh sluggish for
that type OF motor and oil pump.
The result Is that MANY places in
the motor do not get sufficient lub-
rication.
"A motor operated under those
conditions Is soon damaged. For
the deadliest enemy of the auto
mobile Observation-Disclosures at work"
Tells Experience
Mr.. Bedford said that ii had been
his experience. as well as that Of
others interested in correct ANA
adequate fabrication. that a parat-
fine base oil OF the correct v~iSccsity
will add thousands of miles OF eco
nomical motoring 10 any automobile
engine.
MAGNOLIA oils" he added. "are
refined from selected Mid Continent
paraffine base crudes for motoring
conditions in the Southwest rs they
are known by u research depart
ment."

MORE FRUITS
ARE BANNED
Mahaleb Cherry and Other
Stocks Barred From u. 5.
After June 80, 81

The secretary Of agriculture an
nounces that on and after July 4,
1881. by amendment to quarantine
81, Mahaleb cherry, Myrobalan
plum and other fruit stocks will be
excluded from entry into the United
States.
This decision is based on evidence
presented at the fruit stocks con-
ference held by the plant quaran-
tine and control administration ana
the federal plant quarantine board,
July 10. 1929. This conference was
attended by officials and other rep
r~esentativeS of the American Asso-
citation Of Nurserymen. the hortlcul-
tural specialists OF the bureau OF
the department of agriculture, and
others in interest. The evidence pre-
sented as to Mahaleb cherry, Myro-
balan plum and other fruit stocks
lndicated that the present avail
ability of satisfactory American
grown stocks of these fruits was
sufficient to justify the exclusion o.
these stocks after a reasonable pc
Rod for adjustment Of business con-
tracts, etc, and thus terminate the
very considerable and continuing
risk of entry with such stocks OF
new and dangerous fruit pests.
It will be recalled that the con-
ference of July 10, 1929. was in con-
tinuation of conferences on this
general subject held June %. and
June q, 1928, and that these earlier
conferences were called at the sug-
gestion of nurserymen ana rose
growers TO consider the fixing OF A
possible date for the termination OF
further entry Of foreign stocks. As
a result of evidence presented ar
the conference Of 1928 the secretary
of agriculture announced (July -,
1929 that on and after July 4,
1890, by amendment TO quarantine
81, apple, pear, ounce and Mazzard
cherry stocks would be excluded
from entry into the United States.
Action with regard TO Mahaleb
cherry, Myrobalan plum and rosc
stocks was deferred for furthec
study and determination of the
question Of availability of satisfac-
tory homegrown stocks Of these
classes. In the announcement OF
July IS. 1928. the department stat
ed:
With respect to the deferred &C.
ton as to the items Mahaleb cher
ny, Myrobalan plum. and rose stocks
II IN the judgment OF the Uepart-
ment it should later seem possible
to consider final action relatives TO
those stocks a conference will be
called. and If the information pre-
sented should warrant the depart
ment in excluding such stocks it IS
understood that the effective date OF
such exclusion will, if safety per-
mits, be so fixed as to allow a rea-
sonable period for adjustment. both
in this country and abroad
