Careful check of repair shops
proved oUtomotiVe experts
were correct in saying thof
oId-type oils moke trouble
in modern engines.
Automotive authorities have been speaking
and writing widely and with alarm-upon
the problem of old.type oils depositing exc
cessive gum, carbon and varnish in today's
highly finished, tight>ftting engines.
And the correctness of their findings has
been established by careful check in auto
mobile repair shops.
Clearly, a new KIND of oil is needed for
modern motors. And Standard engineers
have solved this problem. Abandoning old
type oil conceptions, we started at the begin
ming and employed an entirely nesU refining
process. And we backed that neeV process

dent; also a quota for honor gradu-
ates of picked military schools.
In 1885 congress authorized addi-
tional appointments which increased
the total potential enrolment from
1874 to 1860.
The cadet gets his education at
the expense of the government. His
pay is S700 per year and one ration
per day, equivalent to 80 cents.
From that income he purchases his
uniform, books, and supplies, pays
his board, and meets all other ex-
penses. Actually, he sees no money
except when he goes on leave; the
treasurer keeps his accounts and
sets aside $14 per month for pur-
chase of an officers uniform and
equipment on graduation.
Nothing Personal.
The first day in a new cadets
life is an experience never to be
forgotten. The plebe has scarcely
dropped his luggage in his room in
barracks when an upper-classman
confronts him.
"Mister, you came here to be a
soldier. Your slouching days are
over"
And in five busy minutes he learns
the position of the soldier at at
tention."

with respect to every one in Bluffton
whose livelihood is gained in some
respect from the automobile.
Six Blacksmiths
Bluffton in 1878 had six black
smiths, four harness shop employees,
whose duty included making the har-
ness; two wagon makers; one car
riage maker, and carriage painter.
One livery stable was listed.
Demands of the eighties were
such that the town had three coop
ers, a trade forgotten here for many
years. Perhaps some Of their bar
rels and kegs were required because
Of the flourishing brewery the town
had. Liquid refreshments were dis
pensed to the thirsty by no less than
six saloons.
In those early days shoes were
made at home, and four shoemakers
piled their trade in the village. In
addition one man was listed as a
shoe repairman. A related activity
was that engaged in by two tanners.
In 1878 Bluffton had plenty of
medical attention-no less than six
doctors being located here. They
included Drs. S. S. Yoder, F. c. |
Steingraver, Francis Herman, J. L. |
Asire, F. l. Baldwin and j. r. Clark. I
Hotels in the town furnished en-
ployment for six persons; there were
two attorneys and one tailor.
Plenty of Carpenters
Rejecting the rapid expansion of
the country and the need of new
buildings, Bluffton at that time had
21 carpenters residing within the

Romance Of a Name

The beautiful flower, the narcis-
sus, is not called after an old-time
god, but a person in the old Greek
mythology, according to writer
in London Answers Magazine. Mar
cissus was a handsome youth with
whom Echo, nymph, fell in love.
He did not return her affection, so
she pined away until only her voice
remained-hence our use of the
word echo. As punishment, Mar
cissus was made to fall in love with
his own shadow in a spring. He
tried to reach the reflection, fell into
the spring, and was drowned. He
was changed into flower-the mar
cissus.

Cadet John Robert Jannerone,
top scholar of the 1888 Vest
Point graduating class.
Whatever the mental turmoil of
the neophyte in these first strenuous
hours, he gets grip on himself
when, assembled in formation with
his classmates late that afternoon,
he raises his right hand and takes
his oath of allegiance to flag and
country. That moment he belongs.
1t is this newborn pride in
common ideal which carries the
fourth-classman through the long
first summer of practical work and
drills. He tells himself, "I'm as
good man as this upper-classman
who is always riding me about my
slouch, and I'll prove it." And he
does.
But never is his ego allowed to
get out of bounds. Any moment an
upper-classman may stop him, or
der him to attention, and inquire,
''What do plebes rank?" And woe
to the plebe who does not know the
answer:
"Sir, the superintendent dog, the
commandant's cat, the walters in
the mess hall, the hell cats, and all
the admirals in the whole blamed
navy"

Barratry i'm Shipping

Barratry in shipping and naviga-
ton includes every wrongful act
committed by the master or crew
to the prejudice of the shipowner.
The master must have deliberate
ly violated his duty to his employer

ment, says Tit-Bits Magazine. Dew
iating from the ships course to
engage in smuggling is barratry.
No act of negligence, inadvertence,
