Hard Carbon In Motors

Almost every mOtorist can
recall the time when relatively
small deposits of hard carbon
did little harm to automobile
motors, says Mr.. Robert Weir,
Jr., who is local branch man
ager of the Sun Oil Company.
But that was before the time
of the modern high compress
sion motor which has appeared
during the last few years. In
these motors even very small
amounts of hard carbon are
serious problems. Research en-
gineers have discovered that as
little as one thirty-second of an
inch of hard carbon will cause
up to 20% loss of power.
Going further into this in
vestigation these engineers
found that hard carbon was
caused primarily by motor oils
which were not wholly distill-
ed. Instead of burning away
like a wholly distilled oil, res
idue collects in a sticky mass,
catches SCOT and dust and then
is baked into hard, tiinty car
bon by the high heat of the
motor.
Many methods have been
suggested for overcoming this
formation of hard carbon but
it seems that Sunoco Motor oil
is about the most sensible.
This motor oil is 1907 distill-
ed, and for that reason it does
not contain any paraffine or
cylinder stock, and no hard
carbon.
There is a proper grade of
Sunoco Motor Oil for every
make of car, and by using it
you can avoid loss of power,
unnecessary knocking and the
repair bills that come in each
time an old fashioned oil has
necessitated carbon removal.

In the area operated by the four
Chesapeake and Potomac Companies
the number Of telephones on April
80. 1880. was 631,630. an increase Of
1920 since the first Of the year. On
April 80, 1929, the number Of tele-
phones was 596.409, which was an in
crease Of 1910 telephones for the
first four months of 1929.
Originating telephone calls, accord
ing to Mr.. Wilson, increased about
7.180,000 for the first four months Of
1880 as compared with the same pc.
Rod in 1929.
Gross revenues for the first four
months Of this year increased 4.6
per cent over q similar period last
year. /
The construction program for the
first four months Of 1880 involved ex-
penditures Of approximately $685., 900
as compared with $4,021,000 for the
same period in 1929. These expendi.
lures were not entirely due to the
growth as a considerable part of them
was for plant requirements. Further
additions and requirements to tele.
phone plant now contemplated will
involve additional expenditures dur.
ing the remainder of the year Of
about $11.0O0,00O.

sales effort" Mr.. Wilson says, I'VE ex-
pect to realize a moderate rate of
growth for the remainder of the
