ixVXOTOR EXPERTS are facing problems today that oils, once favored in spite of higher prices, cannot answer.
 l These experts report that modern motors, with their new metals and new metal finishes, close-ftting parts, tiny openings for oil flow, high compressions, high speeds, and high tempera- lures, punish oil as never before. That brings up brand-new problem! Varnish may form, sticky at first and soon baking to a hard film. Pistons and piston rings stick Oil grooves clog. Friction increases. Motor drag develops. En- zines hard to start They lose power and consume extra gasoline.
 Engine varnish" is no problem with 'RPM". Our engineers threw away old production methods definitely planned new KIND of oil. We knew about the varnish problem. We employed new oil-manufacturing methods. We have just completed new $3,5OO,OOo plant and have made "RPM" today's most modern motor oil.
 "RPM' has all the long mileage you ever found in any oil,-plus the new qualities that keep it clean and keep your engine clean under the punishment of today's operating conditions. Try 'RPM", the NEW KIND of motor oil.

B. Bankhead, Speaker OF the House,
last night urged peace based on a
spirit which could make both sides
winners in this war"
Speaking from the home OF Sis
ter here over a Nationwide broad
cast. he said the moral rearmament
movement was "a matter OF even
greater importance to America ana
to the world than the historic spe-
cial session of Congress just con-
cluded."
He asked for "a frank recognition
that all are responsible for the pres
ent situation"-"that every nation
has sinned"-and said this would
90 far toward bringing peace in Eu-
rope"
"Otherwise, the only winners" he
said, "are likely to be those forces OF
destruction relentlessly at work IN
every land for which a world con-
flict is the historic hour OF opportu-
nifty"
Mr.. Bankhead said mo general
settlement will be possible without
"a new spirit between nations"
For the past decade statesmen in
many countries have been working
for a harmonizing force within their
borders, in order that political. ra-
cial and industrial conflicts might be
eased," he said. Enemies are be-
coming friends. Rivals are begin
ming to work together. Out OF the
materialism of the postwar years
there has appeared the beginnings
of a cultural renaissance"

Mad Hysteria

Mad Hysteria
Early last week, but too late to
comment on in my last weeks let
ter, the House by a vote of 296 to
So passed the 1910 Naval appropria-
ton bill which carried a total of
ITO million 473 thousand dollars.
over what is being spent for naval
defense this year. During the
course of debate it was brought out
that next year the appropriation
will exceed one thousand million
dollars, and in a few years will
reach 1900 million dollars.
Among ether things, the bill calls
for laying keels for two $1,000 ton
battleships, each to cost between
9 and 115 million dollars. Their
keels cannot possibly be laid with
in the next twelve months and II
will take four years to complete
them. BY that time conditions In
Europe will have adjusted them
selves, undoubtedly.
I am becoming more and more
apprehensive of this spending
mania that appears to have the ad-
ministration and Congress in its
grip. The governments income for
the next fiscal year will be approx
imately 5 billion $50 million dol
lars. Congress has already appro-
priated 8 billions $50 million dol
