operating that he can comfortably
give visible signals. He should b.
provided with an adequte supply If
fresh air, protected against fire and
in case of accident should be pro-
tected by the car body from as
much damage as possible. Con
sidering the amount of visibility Of
traffic conditions from the drivers
seat, we will easily ascertain that
the position of the drivers eyes ID
the car must be used as a basis
for determining his visibility. The
tendency to have motorists sit low
er in the car frequently means that
the drivers eyes are almost as low
as the cowl with the result that he
cannot see his fender or any object
within ten feet Of the car This
situation can probably be improved
by lowering the cowl and by lower
ing the steering wheel so that one
can see over it, or by reducing the
size of the rim and the number and
size of the spokes. Another hori-
zontal obstruction particularly for
tall motorists is the sun visor. This
situation has recently been improv-
ed by moving it inside the car and
making it adjustable. The pillars
which support the windshield are
a common vertical obstruction
which can be materially reduced.
A difference of one-fourth of an
inch in width when close to the
drivers eye will increase the blind
spot at fifty feet by several feet
Top supports come in almost the
same category although visibility
behind the front seats is not needed
as frequently as in front and there
are probably more structural diff
culties involved. Clear windshields
are obviously necessary. The meth
cd of mounting is probably respon-
sible for many cracked windshields
which soon collect dirt. Some Of
the earlier non-shatterable glass

FACTS ABOUT MOTOR OIL
Subject Ought to be Explained to
Every Motorists for Protection

Every time I hear a garage man
or motorist express the mistaken
idea that oils of the heavier Wis
cosities must be dark in color, I
always ask the speaker to take
into account the clear, golden color
of Sunoco Motor OIL" says the
local branch manager of the Sun
Oil Company, Mr.. w. ]. Roope.
This fallacy about dark oils" he
continued, lis a subject which
ought to be explained to every mo-
torist even if it is only for his own
protection. "a clear oil is one of
your best guarantees Of purity, for
impurities certainly cannot be hid
den from the eye in a transparent
oil. And this is especially import
ant in purchasing dark oil whose
brand name is unfamiliar. You
see, there is some traffic in oils
which have been reclaimed from
crankcase DRAWINGS and which, af-
ter some treatment, are put on the
market as a new Oil. Naturally,
no oil which has seen thousand
miles of service and grown dirty
and dark can be made as pure and
wholesome as a brand new oil fresh
from the refinery. And, of course,
when a motorist has an unfortUn-
ate experience with a reclaimed
motor oil which has already done
plenty of service, yet is sold as
new, he Immediately gets a poor
opinion of the entire industry with
the result that the innocent must
suffer for the guilty. That is why
1 always emphasize the Importance
of Sunoco Motor Oils clear, golden
color, and then point out that in
just as heavy as any other oil of
a similar grade. But in addition,
Sunoco Mercury Made Motor Oil is
SO pure that we are able to state
with confidence that it will not
form hard carbon or crankcase
sludge. Now, do you see the vital
Importance of color in oil?"

mute testimony Of the retreat Of
Americans. The exodus, which was
most pronounced last year, now has

The American exodus, caused By

rented or purchased by Americans,

LIVE PRIMARY

Better Government League
Wins at Polls With Most
of Candidates
SPARKS UNOPPOSED

Wilmington city Republicans
went to the polls in their primary
Saturday and decisively endorsed
the Better Government Leagues
declared program of business-like
administration. Virtually every
candidate selected to go on the Re-
publican ticket for the city election
next month had the Leagues ap-
proval. The ballot battle was
waged in an amicable spirit and it
is not expected the results will be
contested Walter Dent Smith, in
cumbent, triumphed over William
N. Cam in the fight for the presi-
dency of City Council by a major
ity of 1859 in what had been ex-
pected to be a close fight. Mayor
Sparks, who was unopposed, re-
ceived more than 12,50O votes. In
1881, less than 5000 votes were
cast. Many political leaders see in
the victory of the candidates en-
dorsed by the Better Government
League a revival of interest on the
part of large groups of citizens in
placing high type men in Office.

seeking denomination, defeated AL
bert Bothacker by more than 1921
votes, to lead the field where con-
tests were involved. Charles M.
Banks, incumbent, bested George
L. Vernon for tax collector for the
Northern District by more than
5O15 votes. In the closest of the
larger contests, Herman o. Faulk-
ner, incumbent former State Sena-
tor Joseph B. Green for tax collec-
tor from the Southern District bv
more than 839 votes. This was the
only major contest in which the
candidate of the Better Govern
ment League did not come through.
The most important feature of the
days balloting was the defeat of
Several Councilmen who have serv-
ed for years. Arthur Johnson, who
has represented the First Ward for
some 20 years, was defeated bv
Fred Brown by 156 votes. Strong
efforts were made to defeat Presi-
dent of Council Smith and Council
man Charles S. Lednum, of the
Fifth Ward due to their part in the
failure to confirm Mr.. Willis as
Safety Director and also their
statements favoring reductions of
the salaries of firemen, policemen
and school teachers. Many of these
Jobholders and their friends were
active around the polls. Lednum
carried the Fifth Ward by 432
votes. Another candidate who was
supposed to be doomed to defeat
was Otto Miller of the Ninth Ward.
He lost six out of the ten primary
districts of the ward but finished
with lead of 742 votes over ].
Hunt Holt, his next rival. The de-
feat of Jacob Chief1e in the Fourth
Ward was a great surprise. There
were plenty of workers around the
polling places and, as usual, argu-
ments galore. There was no SER
ious trouble. Late in the after
noon long lines of persons formed
outside the places waiting to vote.
