Of the present gauge will give almost
parallel results.
Fill your crankcase with a good
Pennsylvania oil. Run for a sum-
cient length of time for the engine to
become warm and then take note of
the pressure gauge reading at definite
engine temperature and speed. A
reading at 20 miles an hour and an
other at 40 will give ample informa-
ton, but If desired still another can
be made at 10. These can be care
fully noted and perhaps marked on
the dial if you can get at it. With this
information you are always prepared
to make rough but fairly reliable test
Of the oil condition while you are run
ming.
If you do you will probably see q
smile of satisfaction replace the wor-
ried look on the face of your oil gauge.

Metallic COlOrs in Car Finish
Seen Increasing in Popularity
Green, Bro,u1, Blue, Tan and Others
added to CuumetaI Shade, Observer
Reveals.

Increasing popularity Of metallic
colors will be the most notable de-
velopment Of 1887 motor car finishes,
according to Elizabeth French, di-
rector Of the Duco Color Advisory
Service, whose close association with
the automobile industry makes her q
competent observer OF changes in au-
tomobile colors and finishes.
"The few unusual colors which will
be exhibited at the coming shows
will be used primarily for demon
strators," explains Mrs. French.
However, If any of these capture
the fancy of large number of buy
ers they will be added to the regular
lines.
Continuing the momentum they
gained last year, metallic colors have
swept every standard color before
them until even black is weakening
and showing distinct signs of surren-
dering the leadership it has held for
the past five years.
Metallic colors gained their start
in the gunmetal shades-but this
years lineup of production color
schemes shows them offered in every
color-green, brown, blue, tan, tur-
quoiSe, chartreuse, even maroon, and

TO slate.
Gunmetal Metallics Appeal.
"Gunmetal metallics appeal TO those
conservative buyers who ordinarily
select black, dark blue or green. Soft
medium blues, greens, grays and
browns attract the buyer of conven-
tional. yet smart-looking, colors, and
at the same time these colors, to-
gether with the brighter beiges. tur-
quoise and sapphire blues and fash
ing maroons bid for the attention Of
those who like snappy color schemes
which do not, however, look like cir
Gus wagons.
"The fascination Of jewels lies in
the way they delight the eye with an
ever-changing sheen. Such Is the
appeal of metallic colors-chamelion-
like, the softly graying metallic con-
tent removes all suggestion of the
flashy.
while metallic colors are sweeping
the automotive color field, they are
doing non-metallic colors good turn.
Black was so consistently the favorite
motor car finish for so long that
manufacturers justifiably feared to
show any but run-of-the-mill, safely
conservative colors. Now the metallic

DEFR0STING OF GLASS
MUST BE EFFECTIVE

Where cars are equipped with
special opening below the windshield
for use in defrosting the glass with hot
air piped from the heater it is impor-
tant to regulate the ventilating system
in order to keep the defrosting process
effective. This word of warning is
timely for owners Of new models
which have built-in defrosting equip
ment, but it applies to owners Of any
car to which defroSting system has
been added. If cold air is directed
against the inside of the windshield
it will blow away the hot air from the
heater and will also tend to keep the
glass chilled. This can be avoided by
suitable regulation Of the front win
dows and their ventilating wings.

RISK In BACKING
Is Given in Driving on
Steep Hills.

Steep Hills.
Maybe you have had occasion to
notice it, but roadsters are notoriously
difficult to back up steep hill, espec-
tally If the surface Of the road Is
stony. This is because the combina-
tion of light weight and extra power
in reverse gear makes it difficult to
obtain traction. One way to check
engine power under such conditions
is to keep the hand brake partly on
during the backing process.

Develop Fishing Paradise.

Up IN Sullivan County, N. Y, a
fisherman's paradise has been
slowly developed for quite a few years.
a paradise which is to be opened next
year.
Lake Louise, reputed at one time to
belong to Al Capone although no one
offered any proof of the fact, has
been stocked with muskalunge or
muskanong. as the lake developers
spell it. There are several spellings
of the name of the fish, incidentally,
any of which is accepted.
For seven or eight years the lake
has been stocked and developed, with
all fishing being barred. Now, how
ever, 1t is considered that the condi-
tions are right, so next year the
lake will be opened to fishermen.
1t is interesting to note that under
New York State law no muskalunge
under 2 feet in length may be taken.
That gives an indication Of the type
Of fish it Is, large. heavy. savage
fighter, somewhat along the lines Of
pike or pickerel, but naturally Of far
larger size.

GENGHIS KHAN. BY Ralph Fox. New
York, Harcourt. Brace & Co.
FROM a mouse-eating, hunted pow
erty to overlordship Of the greatest
empire the earth ever has known, en-
bracing half the worlds population,
Fox traces the history Of this cat-eyed
conqueror through storm Of tremen-
dous events which still leave their
traces upon mankind.
Here is q work which makes a living
man Of the semi-lesendary figure
which moves like a nightmare through
the pages Of the average history. CO.
ing back for his information to orig
inal sources which have not been ade-
quately tapped by the historian, Fox
is able to tear aside much Of the veil
of mystery which has obscured the life
and deeds of one of the worlds greatest
military geniuses.
The Genghis Khan Of the Fox his
/ tory is the head of brilliantly organ
ICED and managed army, which. like a
great boom, swept the world Of debris
of rotten, broken-down governments
which were crushing the souls Of men
from the Pacific to the frontiers of
Europe.
Though utterly illiterate, the great
Khan, Fox found. had a consuming
passion for orderly government, born
of his early tribulations at the hands Of
the barbarous petty chiefs of the great
steppes, and he surrounded himself
with the greatest minds Of the nations
! he had conquered to help him carry
out his plans for stable, sound rule.
Behind his armies moved the mer-
chants and traders of Europe and the
/ Orient, in safety. and for the first time
| the great caravan trails were opened
to mankind across the limitless wastes
of Asia. During his life he crushed
! brigandage with relentless fury
/ throughout the vast marches of his en-
pire and the trails became safer than
the highways Of Europe for the eau
tious traveller in his comfortable wagon
with his woman, his dragoman and his
little convoy Of merchandise.
Fox does not gloss over the mon
strous destruction wrought by Genghis
along the frontiers of Europe. fury
which has left him one of the most
terrible specters in European annals
but he does at the same time give an
other picture of the man which the
student should know.
This book moves rapidly: extraneous
details have been ruthlessly pruned
out: the thought is clear. the language
at times beautiful and the work as a
whole one which is JOY to read.

OUR LITTLE MoNooL1AN COUSIN.
Evening star., 1936-08-08
Bv M G.. r.

TT HAS long been q matter Of in
credulity to the reviewer that
anyone-least Of all anyone pro-
i Tossing to be critic-should take
the sorrowful drivel published in our
quality" magazines under the guise
Of fiction seriously enough to spend
time (and reputation) picking out
"best" stories for anthology purposes.
Or, If 1t comes to that, for any other
purpose. Such endeavors seem simply
inexpicable.
Indeed, only one possible reason can
be taken to account for such labori-
Gus researches into. the obvious, and
that is the reason Of publicity. There
Is certain impresSveness about hav-
ing the critical name printed on the
forepage Of the volume which finally
emerges, with the announcement that
its enclosed literary gems were chosen
by 10 Doakes, Eddie Whifflehammer
and Caroline Subgum. The names
look nice there ON the surrounding
white space, and Il may even be that
Mrs. Johannes Smith, q few weeks
later. reviewing the book before her
literary circle, will inform her audi
ence that they can be very sure that
these stories are worthy their atten-
ton because they were chosen, dear
ladies, by-ah-Miss Caroline Doakes,
Mr.. Joseph Whif11ehammer and-ah-
Mr.. Edward Subgum-all very emf
nent critics. Sick Is the transit Of
glory on the following Monday as
somebody remarked and why not?
Eddie, 10 and Caroline are not known
as eminent critics to anybody else
in the world, but If Mrs. Smith can
be convinced. why Mrs. Smith has
been convinced. And isn't that some
thing? Well, maybe you're right.
But If this depressingly cynical
reasoning fails to explain the will
ingness Of ones contemporaries to
take magazine fiction seriously, then
that willingness can only be put down
to love Of punishment. And on
the whole, maschocism seems more
likely a cause for 1t than q craving
for publicity, for printed works have
lamentable habit of enduring-and
consider what 10, Eddie and Caroline
are storing up against themselves and
their critical futures when they allow
their names to be appended to the
nauseous little paragraphs OF "rea-
sons" for the various selections, those
paragraphs which are printed in the
introduction to the volume and which
read as follows:
'Mr. Doakes gave his vote to Love
Is AL by Peggy O'Cute, because in
his opinion the story has exceptionally
nice sentences in it. also 1t is Of good
length and has characters"
We are all agreed with Mr.. Doakes
that stories with characters are most
interesting. Miss Subgum voted for
Love Is AL" because, on adding up

The present story deals with his
efforts to thwart q gang Of blackmail-
ers who are threatening the son Of

Buchan novel above the literary
standard Of most adveture tales.
LIVE ALONE AND LIKE TT. BY
Marjorie Hills. Indianapolis: ):
Bobbs Merrill Co.
A HARMLESS book this, on the
= problems Of being q woman and
living alone. While 1t may come as
news to many women accustomed to
a solitary home life that there Is any
thing so special in their existence as
to require a book of instruction, still
good nature would direct that the
volume be taken for its probable in
tent, which is to furnish amusing
light reading.
Miss Hills devotes chapters TO such
poignant topics as will You or Won't
YOU" "a Lady and Her Liquor" /"
THE Pleasures of a Single Bed"
Your Leisure, If Any" and so on.
She has some good points, but rather
frequently loses her humor and seems
to be instructing us seriously; then,
of course, she sounds like Mrs. Post
or like Dorothy Brande, with her
dreadful Wake Up and Live" She
is better when she is funny, but she
could be considerably funnier.
THE RING TOURNAMENT IN THE
UNITED STATES. By Esther j.
Crooks and Ruth W. Crooks. Rich
mond: Garrett and Massie.
THIS is detailed history Of that
little known sport, the riding of
the ring tournament. as it has been
practiced in the United States. The
origin of the tournament is discussed,
in its descent from its medieval popu-
larlty, and the status OF the sport in
the various States where it is prac-
ticed is traced from the earliest re-
corded events to the present. Much
of the material is taken out of old
newspapers, with the names of win
ners and their chosen queens duly
given.
The work closes with q survey of the
popularity of the tournament today.
In the authors opinions it is growing,
probably due to the recent new in
terest in the horse. The work will be
an interesting item of obscure Amer
icana.
