ar mavonnaise" is a new name

Gar mayonnaiSe" is new name
given to a product created IN auto

lectable oil that makes our foods

something no one would dare to
eat. The "mayonnaise" does the eat
ing in This case-actually eating the
life and pep out of motors.
What is this "mayonnaise"? 1.-THE
common name is sludge," says M. M
Dizney of General Petroleum Cor
poration. "It is whipped up and
deposited in considerable volume in
many motors that are not regularly
inner-cleaned every 5000 miles.
"Sludge is a combination of sew
eral or all such detrimental sub
stances as asphatic residue from
oil, blow-by carbon, SCOT, unburned
fuel, organic acids, metal shavings
water and road dirt that has been
sucked into the crankcase.
"This Shiny, gummy. abrasive Gre
alton clings to and chokes valves
valve springs. piston rings. 1t also
builds up in the crankcase. 1t pulls
down power and increases operating
costs. 1t may cause stuck rings
clogged oil holes and screens, and
result in ruinous motor damage.
ITO prevent the building up OF
sludge. crankcase should be drain
ed and refilled every thousand miles,
and the motor thoroughly flushed
with flushing oil at least every 5000
miles. This is one of the car-pro-
lection services rendered during
Summer -proofing.
Another reason for the regular
draining and flushing Of crankcases
is that even the best oil undergoes
gradual chemical change in contact
with tine hot air and hot metals OF
the engine, forming organic acids
If left too long, these acids may
react with detriment to the deli

Reynaud Discusses
National Defense
In Secret Confab

PARIS, April 19. (UP)-Premier
Paul Reynaud discussed problems of
national defense in speech at
secret meeting of the senate today.
Raoul Dautry armaments min
lister, and Laurent Eynac, air min
lister, spoke also.
A scheduled chamber of deputies
debate on general policy was post
poned SO Reynaud could speak be-
fore the chamber foreign affairs
committee late today on the poll
tical and diplomatic situation.
The spread of alarming rumorS
through southeastern Europe was
causing some concern here, but Bal
kan legations in Paris were said to
have made it evident that those
countries. especially Rumania and
Jugoslavia, were on the alert, aware
of their dangers. and keeping
close watch on national minoritieS
within their borders.
The crop of Balkan rumors was
regarded by French authorities as
mostly belonging to the war OF
nerves, but a few facts we're indis-
putable such as: the departure of
German mission for Rome and the
cancellation of Benito MuSsolini'S
1912 worlds fair speech scheduled
for Saturday; the blocking of wheat
and oil exports by Rumania: the
signing of Adrien Thierry, French
tu. Rumanian minister OF commerce,
minister to Rumania. and Ion Girls
of a new commercial treaty intended
to speed up and develop trade rela-
tions between the two countries.

E. Holbrook of the Holbrook Mo-
bilgas station. Chances are that no.
body could. But the oil in your car
endureS this much torture every
1000 miles you drive it. How come?
This oil is forced through your
blistering hot motor at the rate OF
1000 quarts per hour, at 50-mile
speed. or 24,OOO quarts in 1000 miles.
If the crankcase holds five quarts,
it's been used 4,80O times. It's cer-

inspected during Summer-proofing,

checked. too. if you'd play safe"

Industrial Combines
To Be Broken Up by
Petain Regime
New Law to Strengthen
Stute's Control Also
Hits Labor Unions
BY tie Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, France, Aug. lin a
far-reaching step to end the liberal
economy in France and establish
solid state control, the Petain gov
eminent approved today a law au-
thorizing the disarmament of "su-
perimposed" directing groups that
for many years have controlled
French industry.
The biggest and best known of
such groups is the Comite DIES For
ges, a powerful metals and arma-
ments combine frequently attacked
in the leftist press in pre-war days.
DEGREES specifying just what COM
bines are to be dissolved are ex-
pected to be issued beginning in a
few days.
The new law affects all branches
of industry.
The government will have the OPP
ton of leaving or destroying such
organizations, as it sees fit, and also
the power to dissolve the big labor
unions and employers and profess
sional syndicates.
The new setup in effect puts big
industrial powers and labor cars
and monopolies out of business.
Banking, the insurance business
and commerce come under the same
form of control. Individual organ
ization committees to be set up for
each branch of activity and made up
of employers and workers will requi-
sition and distribute materials and
personnel, inf1ict punishments, con-
troll prices and regulate commercial
exchanges.
All this will be under careful SUI
pervision of the Government, which
reserves to itself the role OF super
planner of the country's economic
and industrial life.
