Non.Skidding Telephone.

The great corporations are frequently
found to give great deal Of attention
TO what might seem to be very trivial
matter. For instance, the felt which Is
placed under the telephone instrument
has called for some very elaborate In
vestigation and experiment, for the
reason that 1t must have the quality of
taking hold on the surface on which
It rests and at the same time must not
mar this surface In any way. At the
same time 1t must be durable In that
Il should not wear away to any extent.
This particularly applies to the new
type of telephone instrument, the use
Of which makec the demands of this
felt more exacting than ever before.
Before coming to any final conclusion
about the adoption of any fabric for
the purpose, some very elaborate ma
chinery was devised by which the In
strument In a short time was put
through an experience duplicating that
Of several years of actual service. De-
cision was arrived at only after the most
careful observations.

"Why, I have almost forgotten that

Yes, most Of us know the supersti-

just what 1t really means! Those may
be interested In the following from
Africa. ~ o..
Years ago rode through the large
cornfields of a friend of mine, a native
chief in East Africa by the name Of
Maya. The corn looked wonderful.
The fields were well watered. and ears
longer than q mans foot promised an
extremely rich harvest. When I ar
rived at the mission station, Mauya was
there waiting for me. After the cere-
mony of greeting was over, I congratu-
lated him: "Chief, your fields are in
fine shape. What harvest you-"
With fearful look In his eyes, Mauya
raised both hands and stopped the flow
of what had considered the begin
ming of a pleasant and encouraging
speech. Hush" he said: don't talk
so loud; they will hear it,
Who are they?
They" are the jinxes and malevo-

to I'LL the air, always listening in, al
ways ready to plan mischief and harm
men whenever they give them lead as
to where to strike most effectively. The
ancient Greeks believed that too much

hands by breaking the influence of his
boastful words that have been trans

first "airwave" by sending charm

exactly the same thing when he, after
boasting, knocks on wood" with the
difference only that his set is not
prompted by an equal amount of
metaphysic thinking as that OF the
savage. He knows only the savage
charm without usually knowing the

TALES OF WELL KNOWN

Drive. in an exclusive residential sec
tion on the water. Mr.. Holcombe, VINO
formerly was one of the most sktllfu OF
pilots in the Marine Corps has resigned
from the service and Is engaged IN avn
alton from commercial standpoint.
He and Mrs. Holconibe plan to make
their Newport home an all-the-year
labitation with some visits TO Wash.
ington and to New York. Gen. and
Mfs, Cornelius Vanderbilt have occu.
pied Beaulieu for so many seasons tnat
the idea prevailed that they owned II.
nut only within the past few weeks
have they obtained title to the prop
erty from Viscount Aston and they are
enlarging the place and beautifytng the
garden. Lady Aston had been unwilling
to have Beaulieu sold, thinking that
perhaps her children might like TO
sr,end an occasional Summer there. But
it appears they do not care for such an
experience, proving, as Lady Astor re-
marked, that one cannot rear children
who are British and American at the
same time.
Mrs.. o. II. p. Belmont, who has come
70 this side of the Atlantic only for
brief visits during the past three years
and half, has astonished her friends
by refusing to lease her splendid home.
Bellevue, and announcing that she Will
return In July and occupy 1t herself.
OF course the great world Of Newport
Is agog with the news that Col. and
Mime. Balsan viii be Mrs. Belmonts
guests during August. But the exciting
runaor Is the younger son OF the Duke
OF Marlborough and his American wife.
Iora Ivor Churchill, now Mime. Balsan,
will join his mother and grandmother
and meet society from the exclusive
angle In Newport. This young man Is
turned 80, but like the Prince of Wales,
he has refused to become enmeshed in
the tolls of Cupid. In fact. like the
heir Of the British throne, he Is con-
sidered very elusive. He has never
come to this country since he was a
small lad. He lives quietly in bache-
Tor apartment in London and is keen on
hunting and golfing, and although a
nruch-sought guest for week end parties,
he rarely accepts invitations except
those rendered by his bachelor friends.
Lord Ivor Is a great favorite in the
Riviera and spends much time In his
mothers handsome chateau near Monte
Carlo. Mrs. Belmont Is making extern
sive repairs to Bellevue and is expected
next month in Newport to superintend
the interior decorating.

story complete. The complete story
Il would be the record of months of
Work in one of the worlds greatest
Oil research laboratories.
That is past. The important thing
now is to tell you what this new motor
oil will do for your car.
First of all, it means tremendous
reduction in the carbon nuisance. New
Iso-Vis Oil actually reduces carbon
formation far below most oils selling
today at premium prices.
One reason for this is the fact that
New Iso-Vis is wholly distilled oil.
Made by special process, its sturdy
body is not obtained by the usual
method of adding undistilled parts of
the crude.
New Iso-Vis also makes possible
better fabrication at extremes of tenn
perature high and low. 1t not
only gives better starting, and free
flow of oil in cold weather, but it does
not break down under high engine
temperatures.
In addition, New Iso-Vis resists diLu-
tion and ,UiN not thin ont TN yoHr crank
case. The enormous importance of this
feature cannot be exaggerated. Ninety
percent of all crankcase dilution takes
place during the first 200 miles of
driving. BY overcoming this dilu-
ton, Iso-Vis assures you of fabrication
not only when your oil is fresh but

right up until the time you change.
With Iso-Vis, the important reason
for changing oil is not because of thin
ming out-but because it is impossible
to prevent a certain amount of dirt
from getting into the crankcase which
must be removed by drainage.
New Iso-Vis is, we believe, the most
important advance ever made in motor
oil. Every Standard Oil dealer and serv-
ice station can now supply you.
