MOTOR OILS FOR WINTER
Sun Oil Company Announces Lab
Oratory Research Product

A fortunate combination of cir
cumstanceS for motorists last win
ter brought about the introduction
of the wv" types of motor oils just
before we experienced the coldest
weather in many years For sew
eral years." says MIR. Robert Weir,
Jr., the local Branch Manager of
Sun Oil Company, "both the auto
mobile builder and the manufac-
turer of motor oils realized that in
winter time the average motor oil
should be made to overcome win
ter starting troubles. Up to that
time, some oils when exposed to
cold would thicken into a sticky,
gummy mass in the crankcase and
would become so stiff that at times
it was utterly impossible for the
starter to cut a path through the
thick mass, thus making it impos-
sible to start the car After a
great deal of research in which the
Sun Oil Company played an i'm
portant part, it was found that a
motor oil could be so made that it
would remain liquid at exceeding
ly low temperatures and thus elm
mate the starting trouble previous
ly caused by CONCEALED oils"

Lake Erie Sea Serpent
Has Head Like a Dog

Cleveland, Ohio.-After two years
Of calmness following the Sandusky
sea serpent scare mysterious
varmints have returned to Lake
Erie.
A 'sea serpent" 20 feet long and
with head as large as a dogs, was
reported off the popular Edgewater
bathing beach recently.
Ben A. Schwartz declared five
other bathers saw the serpent"
and would verify his story. I'm
not trying to tell a fish story" said
Schwartz. I'VE saw this thing
swimming toward shore and thought
at first it was dog. Then it turned
around and we got a good look at it.
1t was some kind of water snake"
Schwartz affirmed the monstrosity
swan about near the beach for Is
minutes, then headed toward deep
er water.
Park Director August Kurdzie
said he would have the beach In
spected by life guards. Cleveland
Museum Of Natural History officials
said the snake might have been
rock python that had escaped
from captivity somewhere, but
pointed out that snakes Of that size
are not native to Lake Erie.

FIRE IN DUNES
LEWES BEACH
Phenomenon Attracts Many
There - Remains an I'm
solved Mystery
BURNS UNDER GROUND

A mysterious subterranean fire
burning beneath the sand dunes
near Cape Henlopen, two miles
east of LeWes, is arousing the cur
iosity of the entire countryside.
The apparent phenomenon stirring
rumors of the presence of volcanic
strata though such rumors are not
taken seriously by those familiar
with that locality who are apply
ing several theories in an effort
to get at the real cause. The un-
derground fire seems located in an
area about $50 square feet on the
edge of a sand dune about 200
yards from the Consolidated Fish
Co., factory, and about 500 yards
from the Delaware Bay shore line.
1t was noticed several nights ago
by some Lewes visitors to the fish
factory who spied a slender flame,
about fifteen feet high, leaping in
to the air. Investigation, how
ever, proved of no avail, so the
men proceeded to douse the fame
with buckets of sand AS word
of the mysterious blaze got around
others started to look into the
source of the underground fire.
Factory owners assured persons
interested that there were no fish
scrap refuse dumped in that vicin-
ity, nor exhaust pipes from the
plant terminated there They
could give no explanation of the
fire. However they said they had
determined that the agected area
where smoke and blaze would
burst through ON the slightest
probing. Once, they stated, they
tried digging large aperture to
locate the cause. but such a vol
ume of fire and smoke came out,
the task was abandoned and the
aperture was covered with sand.
They believed the burning sub
stance is about five feet under
ground, but a slight scratching of
the surface few inches down will
cause black smoke to belch forth.
The ground is warm under foot in
that area. Investigators believe
that undue pressure from the sur
face may cause an excavation as
the fire has been burning for some
time Smoke and flame were no
ticed several weeks ago the fish
plant owners say.

CHILLS, THRILLS FOR AUDIENCES THIS EVENING
Karloff and Lugosi at the Coliseum in Poe's Tale
 The Black Cat'

Everyone remembers Edgar Allen Poes masterful tale, "The Black Cat" It was full of horror and terror and certainly not the kind of story one would like to hear on dark and stormy night.
 But Universal has come out with it's own version of "The Black Cat which opens tonight at the Coli scum Theatre. It was written by Peter Zurich, who took his inspir- ation from the Poe thriller.
 And for a coupe-de grace, there is "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" together for the first time, in other words, Karloff and Lugosi.
 There have been horror pie lures, thrillers, chillers and mys- tery pictures. But this one con- pines all the best elements of all of these. Together Karloff and Lu- gosi combine their eerie talents and conspire to produce one of the oOl dllS WCuNCoO dllO tUl pictures ever presented on the screen.
 It's not the usual, cut and dried mystery horror picture. It is a veri- table avalanche of human emo- tions run wild-a demoniacal rhap- sody that is logical at all times, embracing characters you can and probably do meet in every day life somewhere in the world.
 The story revolves around an in nocent boy and girl, just married, who fall into an unsuspected trap laid by these two maciavillian men. whose thirst for revenge upon each other leads them to make prey of beautiful young girl
 How it all ends and which is the victor, supplies one of the strangest and all absorbing climax es ever put into one picture.
 Included in the program is Mo rocco Nights" in technicolor; "Tne Pest" and Universal News.
