On THE OFFENSIVE you've got to be on

your own precious car and its engine

deadly oiling delay? You can be sure as
shootin', with your engine oIL-pLATED for
Winter by Conoco Nth motor oil oil

Even while the speedometer snoozes at
90 miles an hour-and you're still snug in
your "kivers" = the chilly insides of your
om-pLATED engine will already be coated
by lubricant. Protective o1L-PLATING is
really sort of 'magnetized" to piston
rings, bearings, and straight up the cylin-
ders, by Conoco Nth oils strong power
of attraction created by an added mod
ern synthetic. This keeps the oIL-pLATINC

No complete lack of fabrication then,

No long needless risk till cold oil comes
inching along through passages as slim as

Charged With Operation
Of Assault Croft, Force
Holds Strong Appeal

Army's newly organized Engineer
Amphibian Command has struck a
responsive chord in the hearts of
Americas patriotic boating men.
The slogan of the new task force,
Join the Sea Taxis," is being fol-
lowed throughout the country by
hundreds of experienced motor boat
operators, sailing skippers, engine
mechanics, deep sea tars, boat build
ers, yard superintendent, fishermen
and firefighters.
The Engineer Anphibian Com
mand, now called the "Army's
Navy" is no place for the faint
hearted, for it is charged with the
operation of powerful assault boats
for the carrying of troops on swift
secret attacks. 1t holds a strong
appeal for adventuresome boys ano
men who love the sea and know
about boats and marine engines. AL
ready many nationally prominent
motor boat and sailing men have
received commissions.
Response to the appeal for vol
unteers by the FAC has been phe-
nomenal.
Some 125 men were recommended
for commissions and nearly 100 fol
| nom commissioned grades. Thi.
splendid response is being duplicated
in other cities.
In addition to a knowledge of boat
| operation and engines, many spe.
cial skills are needed, including
cooks, welders, gasoline firefighter.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 4
IS. Mortimer Auerbach, after a
dizzy decade whirling round in
the worlds fastest power boat fra
ternity, has been forced by the war
to go back to the normally safe life
of a prosperous businessman.
The wealthy little sportsman,
holder of world water speed records,
is philosophic. He is not complain
ing about the international turmoil
which has put his famous hydro
plane, Emancipator, into camphor
for the duration. But being on the
unaccustomed safety shelf IS tenn
per-testing.
Auerbach, who splits his residence
between this seashore city and
Miami, Fla, is anxious to give the
Government what he knows about
designing, building and driving
super speedboats "a recreation
which he somewhat sheepishly con-
cedes has cost him an icy hall
million dollars since he was sraitten
with race fever in 1882.
Has Discussed Navy Berth.
There have been preliminary con-
versations with Navy men, Just
what kind of work he might co is
hush-hush matter.
Auerbacn is a neat, unassuming
soft-spoken little fellow. There's
no hair on the top of his head, and
he wears rinless eyeglasses that
look just about as fragile as he
does. He's simply the last person
YOU would expect to find zoonling
along on the water at 90-mile- An
hour clip.
Auerbach has been pitched head
long on eight occasions. His body
carries more scars than many vet
eran prize fighters or hockey players
He is proud of the surgical hem
stitching" on his bald pate.
He has suffered a leg fracture,
dislocated and broken collarbones
He is very happy, he says, that sur
geons kept him from becoming IA
cially unbalanced by preserving an
ear that was nearly torn from his
head.
Eager to Be Auto Racer.
Born to wealth in midtown New
York, the 42-year-old sportsman
was thwarted as a young man by
his parents, the late Judge and Mrs
Emil Auerbach, and his grandfather
Simon Mandel, pioneer Chicago re-
tail merchant. He always wanted t.
win the classic Indianapolis motor
car race. He compromised on speed
boating.
He won his first major race in thu
Biscayne Bay boat regatta at Miam

She kept that up for more than
two hours Darkness fell and she
hung onto the rod, while per-
spiration poured down her face
and her husband flashed a fash
light on the line. Twice she reeled
the giant tuna almost up to the
boat and twice he raced out to
sea again.
No wonder you can't get him
in said the painting mate. That
nose of yours is enough to fright
en- any fish"
The third time she brought him
in the captain gated him and
turned the boat for home.
A lot of things happened after
that. The fish was weighed and
measured-818 pounds, 8 feet
III inches. Mrs Meyers husband
had the head and tail mounted
and gave the rest of the fish to
the boat captain to sell. Mrs.

Lincoln. The boat was the first
of series of nine which brought
him international fame.

was the Duke of York's award, won
in 1888 at Torquay, England, the
year he was named outstanding

Gathers Records and Trophies.
Since 1884, Auerbach has been ac-
cumulating world records and the
prizes that go with them. He won
the Delaware River Gold Cup that
year and then went on to gather
honors at favorite race centers In
the United States and abroad. Rid
ing Emancipator VIII, he captured
the national sweepstakes honors on
the Shrewsbury in 1899.
A year later on the same course
he tossed away his championship
chances to rescue Driver Andy
Crawford of Washington, since
killed in racing action-and was
awarded plaque for outstanding
craftsmanship.
