Now we have that NEW KIND of motor oil-the
1889 RPM, "a NEW KIND of oil that does not "break
down" under high temperatures. 1t stays clean. 1t
keeps the engine clean And it gives mileage equal to
or better than any other oil, regardless of source.
Quite naturally, too the of rpm" maintains
high engine performance = maximum power and
low fuel consumption.
Facts are facts "RPM"-the NEW KIND of motor

SO WE MADE
A NEW KIND OF OIL
THE 1899 RPM"

For months Motor Experts have been saying that old
type oils make trouble in modern ghtftting engines
Oils once generally favored simply can't cope with
modern operating conditions. They deposit gum,
carbon and varnish that reduce engine efficiency. In
short, the motor gets sluggsh-costly
That's why Motor Experts insist NEW KIND of oil
is intellectually needed.
But Standard engineers already at work
this problem. They started the beginning They dis
carded all old-type oil conceptions They decided
an entirely refining process And we backed that
new process with new $3,5oo,ooo plant.

MANY NEW HOMES
ARE PLANNED HERE
Small Building Boom An
tlcipated By Local
Contractors

While no official figures are
yet available, building operation
last year will in all probability
will top those Of previous years.
And according to local contractors
this year will see an even greater
number of buildings erected in
Hagerstown.
Real estate operators say that
with the coming of spring a large
number of new homes will be
started. This is particularly true
in the northern section of Hagers-
town, where at the present time,
no less than score of homes
are now under construction.
Added to the proposed new resi-
dents to be built, are the five new
school houses and additions in
Hagerstown and Washington Coun-
ty. While there is surplus of
common labor in his section, con-
tractors state that skilled me-
chanics, especially carpenters,
brick layers and masons will no
doubt be at a premium.

whatever that is. Those were
the days, you remember, when
candidates were named in con-
ventions. But my old friend
never mentioned Grades" in
these conventions, nor did he
breathe a word about lot of
fast deals made on election
days. One of the best ones
another old veteran related to
me occurred right here in Ha-
gerstoWn.
A hot fight was being staged
for the office of Mayor, with
the Republican Party having
the edge. The G. o. P. not
only had a better candidate but
a majority. The fight was, for
some reason, considered close,
and something out of the ordn-
airy had to be done if the Don
key Boys hoped to win. So they
defeated the G. o. P. by using
q rather unique and simple
trick. They rented a big barn,
invited scores of dusky voters
to liquid party and then pro-
ceeded to lock 'em in until after
the polls closed.
So you see, the politicians in
grandfather's day were just as
tricky as they are now. And
believe they had much more
fun then. No campaign came
to a successful close without
bonfire in the Public Square,
and for firewood they used
everything from shipping crates
and fences to hearses. Brick
bats filled the air, fist fights
were as common as cat fish and

FROM CONGRESSMAN
GEORGE S. WILLIAMS

| NEUTRALITY the evening
of July 18th, President Roosevelt
called to the White House a group
of Congressional leaders to discuss
the fate of neutrality legislation at
this session of Congress. The con-
ference was attended by Senate
Majority Leader Barkley, Senate
Minority Leader McNary, Secre-
tary of State Hull, Senator Austin
of Vermont, Senator Borah of
Idaho, Vice President Garner and
Key Pittman of Nevada Only af-
ter three hour debate, which was
entered into by each member of
the group, did President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hull reluctantly ac-
cept the bipartisan leadership de-
cision to postpone further consid-
GRAFTON of neutrality legislation un-
til the next session. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
maintained throughout the debate
that failure by the Senate to take
action now would weaken the lead
ership of the United States in ex-
ercising its potent influence in the
other nations in the event of a new
crisis in Europe between now and
next January. The Republican
viewpoint, however, was that re
gardless of the merits of the legis-
lation, war in Europe is not in
evitable at any early date and the
wise course would be to defer ac-
tion. 1t is understood that the
President now plans to make an
appeal to the country, and if this
should happen the opponents will
meet this challenge with speak
ing campaign of their own.
WAGE-HOUR AMENDMENTS
In last-minute effort to COM
promise, the House Labor Commit
tee has appointed five-man sub
committee to draw up amendments
to the Wage Hour Law acceptable
to both the Administration and the
revisionist group lead by Congress
man Barden of North Carolina.
Congressman Barden has introduc-
ed a bill, opposed by the Admins
tration, making certain exemptions
to the Wage and Hour Law for ag-
riculture. 1t is doubtful, however,
If any amendments to the law can
be enacted at this time, except

the provisions placing water car
riers under regulation of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. AL
though the President is anxious
that this legislation be passed at
this session of Congress and enact
ed into law, there seems to be little
chance of such happening, since
both the House and the Senate are
feverishly working toward an early
adjournment. Since there is a diff
ference of opinion among the rail-
road labor organizations regarding
this legislation, it is probable that
the bill will be held over and give
the proponents and opponents a
better chance to study the provi-

those approved by the President,
due to the nearness of adjourn
ment. However, Barden refused to
admit defeat. President Roose-
velt," he said, never backs down
on a principle, and I'm taking my
cue from him.
INVESTIGATION OF THE
LABOR BOARD Thursday of
last week, the House passed the
resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Smith, of Virginia, calling
for sweeping investigation of the
Labor Board. The speaker is to
appoint Committee of five to
make the investigation under the
following points: l. Find out
Smyrna times., 1939-08-03

whether the board has been fair in
its Interpretation of the law and in
its decisions. 2. Check the effects
of the act on employer-employee
relations and upon economic con-
ditions. 3. Find out whether the
board has attempted to write into

its language. 4. Suggest amend
ments, if any, and determine
whether Congress should further
define interstate commerce.
