QUAKER STATES
INSURANCE PLAN
PROVES POPULAR.

The economy of the new method
of insured fabrication offered by
the Quaker State Oil Refining
plan of protecting mo-
florists against loss through burned
out or imperative bearings, has
made this plan one of the most
ever presented to motor
lists, according to J. E. Mccormick,
vice president and general manager
of the Quaker State Oil Refining
Company of California.
With the introduction of this
unique plan early this year, the
use of Quaker State pure Penn
sylvania super-refined motor oil
and the line of Quaker State
greases and transmission oils as
sured an economy to motorists
which millions have eagerly &C
cepted," continued Mr.. Mccormick
THE foundation of the plan is of
course the guarantee that the
Quaker State Oil Refining COM
pany will pay the customary cost
Of replacing or repairing burned
out or imperative bearings result
ing from faulty or insufficient lub-
rication. To support this offer ev-
cry motorist who adopts the SIM
pie and inexpensive Quaker State
plan of insured fabrication is pro-
tected by the Quaker State Oil
Refining company's insurance pol
icy with the Travellers Indemnity
company of Hartford, Conn, SO
that the prompt payment of claims
is assured"
All service stations and garages
which display the familiar green
and white Quaker State emblem
can give motorists full information
this new plan which re-
moves the worry of such unex-
pected expense from motorists, and
the fact that SO many car owners
have adopted the plan in an en-
thusiastic manner, speaks for the
success of Insured fabrication.

TRAFFIC COLORS
EXPLAINED BY
LOCAL OFFICER

AS a preliminary to a campaign
of strict enforcement of traffic
rules, beginning with the coming
of fall rush of business in FL
Centres downtown section, Frank
Smyer, city traffic officer, today
outlined for the aid of motorists
the meaning of various colors
painted onto downtown curbs.
Anent these parking regulations,
Smyer issued statement, quoting
regulations, as follows:
Whenever parking regulations
enacted by the local authorities
shall be indicated by the use of
paint upon curbs, the following col
orS shall be used to indicate and
shall indicate regulations as here
in set forth.
a. The color red shall indicate
no stopping, standing or parking,
whether the vehicle is attended or
unattended, except a bus stopping
in a designated bus zone.
80. The color yellow shall indi-
cate stopping only for purposes of
loading or unloading passengers or
freight for such time as may be
specified by local ordinance.
80. The color white shall indi-
cate stopping only for loading or
unloading passengers for such times
as may be specified by local ordi-
nance.
"A. The color green shall indi-
cate time limit parking as may be
specified by local ordinance"
Explaining the local significance
of these regulations, Smyer said,
Local ordinances provide for no
parking in red zones at any time,
in white zones only for the pur-
pose of loading or unloading pas
sengers at any time of day or
night, and in yellow zones parking
is permitted only when the car is
attended by a licensed operator.
In the latter case the vehicle must
be moved upon the request of any,
one having rightful use of the load
ing zone. The color green is sub
stituted by signs.
1.-The red curb across the street
from the fire station on State
street is a safety measure because
of the room required by the lad
der truck in leaving the fire hall.
The red zone at the corner of
Seventh and State streets also is
a measure of safety for fire trucks.
Nov that the stores are staying
open on Saturday nights, the pub
lie should be very careful in park
ing. Where parking spaces are
not marked, the driver of car
about to be parked should drive
in close, but at a safe distance,
from either the right or left of
another parked car. Many drivers
pull into a space that is sufficient
for the parking of two cars, leav-
ing no room but parking in the
center of the space"

Negroes Battle
On Main Street


j. w. Gibson, Negro, is held by
FL Centre police today, facing a
possible charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, while James Lyon,
another Negro, is recovering from
a razor slash across the top Of his
head.
Gibson wounded Lyon in fight
this morning at Fifth and Main
streets, according to police, during
the course of an argument grow
ing out of family troubles.
That there has been bad feeling
between the Negroes for some time
was demonstrated last week when
Gibson appeared at the police sta
ton TO request the arrest Of Lyon.
He said Lyon was carrying a gun,

ening and reorganization OF our
armed forces.
Depend On Universities
I'VE would find it very hard to
attain essential security by increas-
ing our military expenditures, but
we could achieve that security
without additional military outlay
if restoration of our freedom en-
abled us to apportion available
funds as we deemed suitable.
President Won Hindenburgs re-
cent decree establishing a central
body for the physical training OF
German youth has been regarded
widely as the nucleus of a future
national militia. Actually it is far
from that he said.
This move must be viewed as
an attempt to create a substitute
for the physical training and moral
education of which Germany was
deprived by the abolition OF uni
versal compulsory military service.
in my opinion, one Of the vital
prerequisites of our future militia
must be a close connection between
the army and German universities.
This must become the starting
point for reawakening the military
spirit among the entire population.

are asked in a suit filed in super
Tor court today by the First Central

CLASH GROWS
BETWEEN US.
AND JAPAN
Japanese Threaten u.
S. Penetration
of China
REJECT ARMS CUT"
Say Hoover Plan Aims
to Weaken us. Rival

The conflict between American and
japanese imperialists over control of
China and hegemony In the Pacific
sharpened during the weekend. This
is accounted for by the dispute over
Chinese customs revenues collected at
Dairen and the Japanese rejection of
the Hoover arms reduction" propo-
sails. These proposals aim to strength
en- the armed forces of Wall Street
while weakening Japanese military
and naval strength.
The Japanese have sharply pro-
tested the action u the Marking Gov
eminent in disrnissing the Customs
Commissioner at Dairen, following his
refusal to transmit revenues collected
at Dairen to the Marking Govern
ment as demanded under the 1907
agreement between Japan and China.
The Dairen Customs Commissioner
is Japanese. His dismissal by the
Marking Government was clearly
influenced by the United States,
which has strongly protested to
Japan against the decision Of the
japanese puppet state in Manchuria
to confiscate Chinese customs rev.
enues collected at Dairen. The Wall
Street Government fears that such
action would weaken the Marking
Government in its murderous war
against the revolutionary Chinese
workers and peasants, and would
further affect its ability to repay the
loans advanced by foreign govern
ments TO help Marking finance the
war against the Chinese masses.
AS preliminary for further drastic
action against China, the Japanese
Government has warned Marking
that it would be held responsible for
ANY consequent developments" Toxic
dispatches during the past week have
limited that the Manchurian puppet
government may "be forced to invade
North China" The Japanese who
have used that puppet government to
carry cut the confiscation Of the
Chinese customs revenues at Dairen
are thus preparing to use it as a
cover for Japanese occupation of
North China.
One section Of the Chinese press
is carrying on an energetic cam
paign for the resumption Of dip
lomatic relations with the Soviet
Union. This press recalls that So
Wet aid and sympathy made pos
sible the victories of the Chinese
Revolution before the Chinese bour-
geoisie headed by Chang Kai-Shek
betrayed the revolution and went
over INTO the camp OF the I'M
periaIists. 1t also points out that
the Soviet Union Is the only power
that has not sent troops and war
ships to Shanghai and has made
no attempt to occupy Chinese soil.
