GOOD LUBRICANTS
MADE, NOT FOUND
Group of Organic Chemistry
Professors Unanimous in
This Belief.

Good lubricating oils are made, not
found. This Is the almost unanimous
opinion of 104 professors of organic
chemistry in American universities as
gathered by the New York University
Bureau of Business Research. The
professors who replied to the question
naire state that the source of lubri-
eating oil Is not important If the lubri-
cant possesses the qualities which are
desirable for the use for which it is
intended. A
Ninety Per Cent Agreed.
Almost 90 per cent of them agreed
that 1ubricating oils from different
crudes might be nearly or absolutely
alike In qualities. With almost no ex-
ception they held that oils made from
the same crude might differ in their
qualities. More than half of them
held that the chemical characteristics
and. therefore, the quality of petro-
leum lubricants depend on the proc
esseS of manufacture and not on the
crude from which such an oil is made
The New York University Bureau of
Business Research undertook to deter
mine whether oil refining in America
had kept pace with the development
Of the automobile industry to the ex-
tent Of making the supply of lubri-
S9ibbS COulklaI 6J1FCly INDEPENDENTLY Oh
sources Of crude supply.
Old Stress Changed.
In the early days Of the automobile
stress was laid on the origin of the
crude from which the lubricant was
refined. That this is no longer the
case Is the almost unanimous opinion
OF these university chemists. Their
judgment is interpreted as high trib-
ute to the research workers, the engi-
neers and the other technicians of the
great oil refineries of America In the
oil trade their opinion may do much
toward settling the controversy that
has survived from the early days as to
whether source of the crude oil or ths
method of manufacture, equipment and
proper laboratory control is more seri-
ously to be considered in the selection
Of a lubricant.
The development of the high COM
preston automotive engine has put
greater and greater demands upon the
lubricating industry but, according to
these authorities on organic chemistry,
the industry has responded by estab-
fishing its mastery over crudes and
proving its ability to work its will with
them.

Hard to Understand

Why every dealer always has the
best car on the market. especially after
he has been with various firms selling
various makes.
Why most week ends are so very hot
when they are not rainy.
Why people go motoring on Sunday
any more at all.
Why all gasoline wars are so far
from the District of Columbia
Why an automobile company expects
the automobile editor to print his
publicity stories and leave his COM
petitors out.
Why some trafic policemen are paid

are paid by the taxi firms.

WOMAN ENTERS CASE
 IN SMITH SLAyINGS
New Angle Disclosed by Canaan Officer, Back
 From Oklahoma

Hartford, Aug, IS tP}-The mys- tery of the murder Of David Smith Of sharon and his brother George Smith Of Cornwall, in a hotel in Muskogee, Oklahoma last April be- came deeper and more complicated today with the return Of State Po- liceman Thomas Rose, Of Canaan, from the scene of the crime.
 A woman enters the case for the first time, according 10 Roses re- port 10 State Police Commissioner Robert T. Hurley. This woman of mystery was seen in the Hotel Sev- CTS, where the double killing oc- cured, the day after the Smith brothers and their friends, John Wike of sharon and Powell G. Seeiy of Washington, arrived on a business trip in connection with the affairs of the defunCt New Milford Securities company. She was in the hotel the entire day of the murder, where she was in constant touch with two men in the hotel who are also new to the case, Commissioner Hurley said.

 FOR 4k MEN IN MINE
Canadian Rescue Parties Continue Work Despite
 Seeming Hopelessness

Princeton, B. C., Aug Is tP-Al- though hope virtually was aban- doned today for the 4S men impris- oned by an explosion in the Blake burn mine at Coalmont since ' p. m. Wednesday, rescue parties worked strenuously today to reach the entombed miners.
 While the main fan broken by the blast had been repaired and put to work, air in the tunnels was so laden with poisonous gases that the rescuers were able to work only in short shifts. Gas masks and other safety equipment were employed.
 The bodies of two hoist men. AL bert Cole, 1o, and Clifford Smith, 40, were brought out shortly after the explosion. Their deaths were pronounced to after damp" deadly mine gas. One man was res cued alive.
 The entombed men were be- lieved to be nearly 1,S00 feet down 21-degree slope which starts about $500 feet from the mine pr,- tai. Workmen had penetrated 2,900 feet from the entrance last night They reported the tunnels choked with debris and said the work of clearing the passa geways was con- stantly becoming more difficult on account of the lack of air

TOPPLES DOWN STAIRS, REMAINS UNCONSCIOUS
Boomer at 450 Main Street Reported in Critical
 Condition

Carl Anderson, 32, roomer at 45O Main street. is in critical condition at New Britain General hospital, sui fering from probable fractured skull and severe scalp wounds as a result of falling down stairs last night.
 According to roomers in the house, Anderson tripped at the top of the stairs and fell headlong, striking his head against door jam near the foot of the stairs. There was a sharp corner of wood on the door jam and this entered Andersons head. mak- ing a deep, wide gash in the scalp and probably fraCturing the skull, Boomers carried Anderson to his room and laid him on his bed, then called the police, asking that a doc tor be sent to the house to attend a man who had cut himself.
 Lieutenant McCue called Dr. John Tokarczyk, police surgeon, but he could not go to the rooming house. Police Officer NJ. F. Flynn was sent and when he saw the condition of Anderson he called for the police ambulance and Anderson was taken to the hospital. He had not regained consciousness up to press time this afternoon and his condition was re- garded as grave.
 Anderson was employed by the Stanley Rule & Level Co, but had been out of work for about a week. He has lived at 45O Main street for about three years, Police are check ing up to find out where his rela- tiVes live
