You can hardly think of one working
part in your engine that's as cheap
to replace as your leftover Winter
oil. Struggling against this warmer
weather it's a misft-a jinx to pre-
cious parts. (And requirements are
getting scarcer; more costly.)
Change for Spring, sure enough.
But then get a good vacation from
buying oil. For you can change to
the same Conoco Nth motor oil that
delivered better than 2 miles for
every 1 mile averaged by all the
other five big-name quality brands
in the Certified Death Valley Test.
Exactly why?...
a. Conoco Nth is oil that OIL
PLATES the engine. O1L-PLAT1NG has
any plating's hack of hanging on
to where it's plated. O1L-PLAT1NG
backs up the familiar movable oil
film with lubricant close-bonded to
inner engine surfaces-not all back

limiting wear all the more-and
that's the basic boon to mileage.
(2) Conoco Nth oil brings Ihial-

achemist might, in getting one thing
out of another. Not so differently, oil
was being cooked down into draggy
"glue" and worse. But along comes
Thialkene intibitor in Conoco Nth
oil. the oil whose nearest rival in
Death Valley made barely 5S% of
Conoco Nth mileage!

John w. Smith

John W. SMITH probably possessed more natural equip
] ment for the business of politics than any other man
In Michigan in time
He was born of the people and he never got very far
away from them. Pending for himself all through
povertv-ridden boyhood he TO know intimately the
needs and hopes of the masses This knowledge stayed
with him and helped develop later life his uncanny
intuition as to which side of political controversies the
voters would favor
Instinctivey liberal and champion of the common
people Mr. Smith might been outstanding national
leader except his tempesuous and troubled per-
sonaty He had fine mind truculent courage
shrewd sense of political values and distinct flair for
making friends
He really liked people and they were drawn to him
by his warmth and force But it was difficult for John
Smith to keep his friends. The factors in his makeup
were so twisted and in such constant conflict that he
forever pickering and quarrelng with his closest
associates
It doubtless this unhappy faculty of alternating
tried friends that prevented his becoming governor
United States senator least In the state legislature,
In Republican Party councils postmaster mayor,
as councilman he was ever dramatic figure,
fighter.
He received many honors from the public and earned
most of them But harassed he by his ambitions,
and goaded by his needless enmites it is questionable
whether he found much time for serenity in life.
All those countless Detroiters who knew and admired
him who knew and fought him. must hope today that
John W. Smith has found peace at last in death.

X-Ray Opened a New Field
In Treatment Of Disease
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

THE discovery of the X-ray
i was announced in 1895. AS
early as 1896, DR.. J. +. Gilman
of Chicago, who was physician
to an industrial plant which
manufactured the early type of
X-ray apparatus, noticed that
the workers had a kind of in
fiammatory reaction on the skin
of the hands.
He reasoned that the X-ray
might kill certain cells and he
sent a patient with cancer of
the breast for treatment to
Mr.. Grubel of Chicago, who was
an expert in the use of the
early X-ray tubes,
l understand that Mr. Grubel
is still alive,
A little later Becquerel, who
was a Co-worker with the CURES
on radium. walked into their
laboratory and showed them a
little ulcer on the skin of his
abdomen.
"Sce," he said, 81 am It's
friend. but il bites me-
He had put a piece of radium
in his vest pocket and left IT
there long enough to cause some
skin destruction.
IRON these experiences, one
L the result of reasoning and
one the result of accident, there
has developed the great field of
the use of radiant light in the
treatment of certain diseases.
The diseases include cancer,
certain blood diseases, Emphatic
node diseases and a great many
skin conditions.
An enormous amount OF inn
provement has been made in the
equipment and the technique OF
this work.
With the early tubes there
was no way to measure the
amount of current the tube re-
ceived
The use of filters and protec-
tive devices have been improve
ments of only the last lis to 20
years.
To try TO explain how the
X-ray works is not easy in SIM
pie language because there are
many things that are not yet
known about il
The X-ray and radium emanate
a form of light different from
the light which our eyes perceive
in being only much shorter
wave length.
THIS shorter wave length gives
L the power TO penetrate OBJ
jectS which appear opaque 10 the
eyes.

Our Greatest Problem

sN FOTOR wheels carry the nations fate says the
wi magazine Motor" in unusual article which
brings home to all Americans the vital part that being
played today by all that which moves wheels
RUBBER and WHEELS greatest problem
today
And this problem also confronts our automobile in
dustry, which has turned to work with that
instant adaptablity that distinguishes all private enter
prise which has been developed in the American way
Motor" which is the very voice of great rubber
and-whees industry, says editorially:
THE automotive will be fully justified in feel
Ing of confidence that 1t will not be destroyed
despite the perpexes discouragements and irrtations
which are inevitable In a economy
Automobiles will provide transportation which Is
vital Salvation of the republic demands the best
give In every form of transportation"
THERE we have CONFIDENCE and PATRIOTISM
l finely blended-agan two of the major elements of
the American way.
Joseph B. Eastman director of transportation, also
points out the tremendous Importance today of motor
industry in these words
"Our trucks buses and private automobiles with the
tires that them and such tires on hand
constitute the most precious stockpie country pos
sessesone that must be protected and preserved at all
COSTS
Donald NJ Nelson chairman of the War Production
Board adds this to Mr. Eastman's statement:
American civilization is geared to wheels II may

RE the American people conscious then, of the CO.
a lossal task of transporting capacity loads N NUM-
tons and supplies produced~n the East and Middle West
to San Francisco Seattle Los Angeles and Portland for
transportation to the Pacific of warfare?
And yet it is being done with wondrous speed and
efficiency in spite of some natural "bottenecks."
All of which adds up to this

wv as Motor says of the automotive trade in per-
forming this herculean task
And when peace again let remember that
the forces that built up the country saving it

Letters to
The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
YOU hear so much about rub
Der saving; what is a tire?
Some people think they are
made of iron, the way they leave
glass in the streets.
When there is a smashup
why can't there be a law 10
make the people that are in
volved clean IT up and dispose
of the glass, etc?
Why not keep a little broom
in the car and use il 10 save
rubber? II would save the tires
and make them last longer
This is a suggestion Let's
hear from some one else.

tremendous speed in the form Of
tiny particles of energy-elec-
irons which penetrate tissues for
some distance until they strike
an atom which knocks them out
of their orbit, the result of which
is a transfer of energy This
charged energy has an effect
upon certain tissues.
The second part of the action
of the X-ray-the effect on
tisSues-applies best to a few
kinds of cells.
The law Of action, which was
formulated in 1906, states that
the senSitiVity of tissue TO the
X-ray varies with the degree of
differentiation of the cell.
WHEREFORE a young, undif-
ferentiated cell such as that
of cancer. Emphatic tissues,
etc, is destroyed most easily.
But this law is only relatively
true, since II has been found out
that the environment of the cells
is also of great Importance.
To summarize: in some cases
the X-ray destroys tissues by de-
stroying the cells directly and in
some cases il causes healing by
increasing the activity OF the
healing cells
Some h ghly differentiated
cells are not affected by the
X-raV, at all.

III. b. A. BOARDS A GLOWING
SUCCESS

Our H. B. A. Boards that came to
final close last Thursday are now
history. All of the presidents tried
themselves. A big time was had at
each board. New members added,
plenty to eat, plenty of joy, peace and
happiness.
We are so enthused and wrapped
up at present in the 18th Anniversary
of the General President that we are
losing sight, to some extent, of the
big things that we have done and we
are looking forward in the next ninety
days to do bigger things. that we will
do. Won't you come and go with me
to that land where we are bound. We
are bound for 1000 members. Let's
go, children. What say, you? Who
can beat the H. B. AS doing things I?
