On July 4th or weekend and vacation
trips, you'll want to drive far and get
there in a hurry. And you don't want
that nagging worry of 81 wonder if
this speed and heat will hurt anything
in my motor"
You can't always be sure when you
use plain mineral oils, for they have
little film strength and oils over-rehned
by new cleansing processes have even
less. Moreover, as motor heat goes up,
these oils rapidly lose film strength.
Film strength is the load-carrying
ability of an oil, the quality that keeps
bearings and cylinders from wearing
out. Lack of film strength results in
costly damage.
You can drive without a worry when
you use Conoco Germ Processed Mo-
tor Oil! 1t has 2 to q times greater Jim
strength than any plain mineral oil.
Heat does not lessen this advantage

round corners at an excessive speed fore ing pedestrians to jump for safety and then laugh to ourselves at their expressions. But what would be our own expression if turned into the State Motor Vehicle De- partment by this same pedestrian, as he "r she has perfect right to do. The list of our failings is long. We are all prone to them from time to time, some much more so than others.
 And yet we rail about the excessive auto liability insurance rates in this districC. Perhaps if we had no reliable concerns backing us up for our liability we might feel bit different about it. It wouldn't hurt every driver in Waterbury to sit down some day and sort of list his shortcomings as an operator. Just check off few that you really are conscious of and which deep down in your heart you know you should drop Promise to observe the law in three or four respects where you may overlook it today. If several thousand men and women, boys and girls did that now and then, our streets would be much safer and possibly we might reap the benefit, too, in lower insurance rates.

Ignorance No Excuse

New Haven is going to get after the motorists who ignore traffic signs. A fine idea if actually carried out and one that could be adopted by every town or city where there is al local traffic ordinance. There are too many men and women driv- ing our city streets who pay no more at- tention to a sign than blind man would. A typical example or passing red lights occurred on West Main street one morn- ing this week. It happens not infrequent- ly, but many times.
 The writer halted for the Leavenworth street light. A car pulled alongside. The seconds ticked by; the car alongside sud- denly jumped forward and scooted across the intersection for Exchange place. The light still remained red. There happened to be no traffic coming down Leavenworth street at the time nor was there police man nearby to watch one of our traffic laws being violated. The only excuse for such fragrant violation would be that the driver was rushing somebody to hospital
 Of course when the policeman's eye is on the driver he rarely commits a fault of this nature. If he does, it is purely aunintentional and not an endeavor to beat the light nor ignore it completely. But there are many other ways in which We of the driving public offend We keep our windows tightly closed at all times and never extend hand to signal the car behind of the intention of turning left, right or stopping. We pass trolley cars on the left and moving automobiles on the right. We cut outof line; we cut in again forcing others to display good driving skill but not ourselves.
 We rely on the other driver to get over into the gutter while we speed merrily along right in the center of the street. We

A Book a Day
This Horror Tale Is A Bit Too Literary.
BY BRUCE CATToN

T Am Your Brother" by Ga- briel Marlowe, Is a horror story with the one defect that it is just little too literary to be entirely convincing.
 It tells about young London
 musician, who lives in a gloomy
 old house with his half era cked
 mother Up in the attic room, un- known to him. is lodged a horrible, misshapen monster, product of | some weird experimentation in em-
 bryology by an inquisitive scientist. The mother, who keeps the ex- istence of this hideous freak a dark secret, is killed in a traffic accident. The young musician, his head high in the clouds as he struggles to complete a new symphony, sud- denly discovers the creatures ex- istence--discovers that it is his own brother and that he is re- sponsible for 1t.
 Naturally, this leads to some pretty dreadful complications. His efforts to hide his secret, the men- tai strain which leads him to the edge of insanity, his final, fumblipg attempt to put the crawling horror out of existence and hide its body somewhere, make blood-chiliing reading.
 The only trouble is that in a laudable effort to impart a night mare quality to his story the au. thor has made long sections of his book almost unintelligible, so that 1t Is frequently hard to figure out just what is happening. The reader Is in some danger of getting lost along the way. Published by Harcourt, Brace X Co.,. the book sells for $2.

Doesn't Tell The Story

The Waterbury Republican will never forget what it regarded as startling revelation in connection with the construc- tion of the Naugatuck river trunk line sewer by the Cenedella company. In urg- ing Waterbury taxpayers to attend the legislative hearing today before the com- mittee on cities and boroughs it resur- rected this item of several years back. It evidently is regarded as a red-letter epl- sode in Leavenworth street journalistic quarters. Is the feeling mutual through out the city?
 We have not taken up cudgels for or against the bill, introduced at the request of Republican Town Chairman Frederick w. Palomba by the republican senator from Westport, J. Kenneth Bradley, which changes our city charter so that there must be competitive bidding on con- tract work of $1,000 or over. This in- cludes jobs where actual services are per- formed or materials supplied. It has long been fly in the newspaper combination ointment that Waterbury could award con- tracts without calling for bids if it seemed the best interests of the city would be served by so doing.
 The reference to the work by the Gene della company, which incidentally laid all the trunk line sewer in the Naugatuck river, dates back to a purported startling discovery that the concern charged more per foot to lay one section of the sewer i'll Waterbury than it did to lay sewer, whose pipe was twice as large, in West Hartford All of which is perhaps con- vincing to the average layman, but cer- tainly not to the person more technically inclined or better still wits some knowl- edge of engineering. He might seek more facts.
 In this one particular instance the dis penser of facts should be the office of the City Engineer. And if memory isn't play ing us false, City Engineer Robert F.. Cairns explained at length the reasons for awarding the Cenedella Company the sewer contract without calling for bids. Doubtless he might have offered convinc- ing arguments to prove the per foot rate paid the company within reason. Rather than cite the figures the Republican did, why not get some to show that other con- tracting companies could have done the sewer job in Waterville cheaper than it actually was. Comparing jobs in widely separated parts of the state, particularly in an engineering job that encompasses both river and quicksand is a bit difficult.
 As to the fate of today's measure, we make no predictions. If Waterbury feels it is going to be better served by competi- tive bidding on big contracts; if she feels it will result in big saving to the tax payers; then we certainly offer no objec- tions Our motto is more economical gov ernment, for that spells tax reduction. But sometimes individuals inexperienced in city financing find the politically minded persons not so self-centered, but just as anxious to work for the best interests of the city, even though his devious ways may obscure it.
