causes in stormy weather that Mo-
bilgaS dealers have included tire
service as one of the 4 "MustS" of
their Winter proof campaign to
protect cars against the ravages
of mud. sludge and rain, and to
help make them last longer during
this critical period of wartime driv-
ling. according to j. B. Erickson,
district manager for General Pc
troleum Corporation.
Its wise motorist." he states
who consultS his Mobilgas dealer
frequently about tire conditions,
and on what to do to keep good
serviceable rubber on his car.
While Winter-proofing covers all
vital parts of the automobile, tire
service is stressed both because of
he danger involved in neglect, and
the possibility of being without rub
Der for future driving. That's why
it's so important to have tires care
fully checked and inflated to proper
pressure every few days. This adds
to the life of the tire, as does also
the proper cross switching every
ew thousand miles 1t has been
proven that such service as this can
add at least 5000 miles to the life
of tire"
Most MobilgaS and Mobiloil
dealers are now equipped to furnish
high grade recaps for any motorist
whose tires are worn smooth. Not
only these recapS, but general re-
pair service can be obtained by any
motorist in need without securing
a government permit.
For those who are able to buy
new tires, many of these dealers are
now in position to offer the we'll
known and highly REGARDED Fed
eral tire. The Federal tire has been
recognized as one of the top quality
tires of the country since 1908. And
since quality is so desirable in the
purchase of tires these days, when
they must last, the demand for
this particular line has been heavy
"All Mobil Dealers Erickson
ARE doing their utmost
to help car owners keep their tires
in service. Drivers are invited to
take advantage of this assistance

Naples Is Again

Of Pre.War Days

NAPLES, Nov. 5 up = When
the Allies marched into Naples

broken, hungry city with neither
power nor water.
Today, one month and two days
later, Naples is almost as gay as in
the prewar tourist days Rowing
orchestras sing and play their way
through crowded restaurants. Ital-
ian girls enter on the arm of Allied
officers and soldiers.
PRICES JUMPED
But over the oGyety hovers the
specter of a weii-organized black
market that affects almost all
goods. Prices have jumped as much
as five times, but still have not
gone beyond the pocketbooks of
American Doughboys and British
Tommies who spend 100000 to
100000 lire daily in the Naples
area.
Even flour shipped in by Ameri-
can ships is finding its way into
illicit traffic through some of the
300 Italian bakeries in the Naples
area. Bakers make short weight
bread or mix the American flour
with italian substitutes, then sell
the remaining American white flour
at high prices in the black market
The prices of italian wines and
liqueuers have scared beyond any
thing dreamed of in American boot
leg days. Italys famous golden
hued liqueur, Strega. once sold for
go lire, but now costs 1000 lire
owing to the scarcity. All Strega
plants were converted into NUM-
tions works more than a year ago.
Meals which cost me so lire
when I was in Italy two years ago
as manager of the Rome bureau of
the United Press today come to $50
lire. while Chianti has jumped from
30 to $50 lire.
Allied military government au-
thorities, Italian local officials and
Carabinieri are taking drastic steps
to curb the black market.
AMG authorities attributed the
price rise in part to the amount Of
money available TO Allied soldiers
and are studying whether a system
of placing part Of the soldiers pay
in savings should be recommended
for Italy.

Ever notice how the water in

7eters' Mobilgas service station,
We'll, a somewhat similar action
axes place inside a car radiator.
The water leaves a film of rust and
scale on radiator tubes. This can
eventually eat its way through
metal, causing leaks. The rust and
scale also cuts down motor ef-
ficiency by causing overheating
even in Winter. Cooling systems
should be cleaned out with Mobil
radiator flush. and HYDRO tone
neutralizer put in to retard future
rust and scale formation. Right
now they should also be protected
against sudden, unexpected cold
snaps. This is an important fea-
