Old oil should be drained from the crankcase at
regular intervals and replaced with fresh oil.
r 1 This statement is made because engine operation causes
"rood dust, carbon, fine metal particles and other impurities
' to accumulate in the crankcase oiL The gritty oil circulates
through the engine, impairing its performance, and ulti
mately leads to rapid depreciation and repairs.
These careful instructions from the manufacturer are
often disregarded; cleaning the crankcase is a job generally
disliked.
To meet this need Modern Crankcase Cleaning Service
has been established by first-class garages and other
dealers co-operating with the Standard Oil Company.
These garages and dealers use Calol Flushing Oil the
scientific agent that cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other
' impurities and does not impair the lubricating efficiency
of fresh oH used. The cleaned crankcase is refilled with the
. : proper grade of Zerolene.
Look for the garage or dealer displaying the sign shown

and positive wire connection this
statement was a shock ana was
'accepted, naturally enouRh, with
J more or less skepticism.
I When we say that Marconi in
! vented radio telegraphy we are
i net absolutely correct. Previous
i to his time, possibly 20 odd years,
other expertmentors had develop
ed to a low decree and alone var
ious lines systems of "wireless"
telegraphy. Some used the eartt
or water to carry the weak elec
trical currents while others used
light rays. Other systems were
proposed with varying success.
Hertz lA-tul Followed
Marconi used the fundamental
discovery of Hertz, a German phy
sicist. as the basis of his early and
fina'ly successful experiments.
Hertz had discovered that by suit
ably arranging certain electrical
apparatus and by placing an ex
actly similar apparatus a few feet
away, that when the first or trans
mitting apparatus was placed in
operation a faint current would
be produced in the second or re
ceiving apparatus.
He demonstrated the fact that
this transfer of electrical energy
was due to an electrical phenem
enon similar to that in music,
namely resonance. jl
We know that when two violin
strings are placed side by side and
that if they are exactly similar,
ie; the same diameter, the same
length and both stretched to the
same tension, when one is bowed
or plucked and caused to sound
the other will begin to vibrate
also. This is caused by being In
resonance and the air waves or
sound waves that move away from
the first string strike the second,
causing it to vibrate in unison
with the first.
Mui-iii IVInrfple Followed
Marconj knowing this principle
used a large spark coil ver much
like the common gas engine Igni
tion coils of today but much more
powerful, tin cans on poles for
his aerials and a sensitive com
bination of telegraph relays in
connection with a coherer or a
small glass tube of silver and nic
kel filings for a receiver and ob
tained signals over a distance oi
a mile" or more. He secured fi
nanciat assistance in England and
in a few rears had developed his
apparatus until be was able to
send across the Atlantic ocean.
From that day radio has pro
gressed in leaps and bounds. To
day all vessels traveling over 200
miles from any port or carrying
over r0 persons are required by
international agreement to carry
a radio equipment and the neces
sary operators.
The aerial mail uses radio to
direct Its machines, giving them
weather predictions and other
necessary orders.

Only a few months ago a pas
senger on a boat several nunareu
miles off the Atlantic coast
talked to a man on the island of
Catalina which is 30 miles off the
California coast, a distance of
over 3000 miles. In this case the
onversation from the ship was
transmitted by radio to a coastal
radio station connected to the
transcontinental telephone line
which carried the voice across the
ontinent td Ios Angeles. Here
the voice was transferred to the
radio waves and relayed across
the 30 miles of water to Catalina'
Island.
This conversation was heard by
hundreds of amateur radio opera
tors all over the Pacific coast and
manv ships at sea.
And still If one approaches a
radio man who Is well informed
he will tell you that radio is st II
in its Infancy and that we may ex
pect many, more applications of
this most wonderful application of
electricity.

As I understand it, the pro
posed Salem hospital would !e

cost around $12",000 at this time,
and the other to cost a farther
$ 100,000 in due course, presuma

cal profession of Salem, with
about three exceptions, is soliuiy
in favor of a Catholic hospital.
And that a number of our physi-jof counties and
cians would double their present
subscriptions should a Catholic
hospital be constructed in Salem.

Suit for the recover of ."20
acres of land in Klamath county

made a co-defendant.
The suit is said by Attorney

a series of suits that will be
brought to recover about 200,000
acres of timber land in a number
40,000 acres of
swamp lands in Klamath and Lake

to be valued at from $150 to $200
an acre.

('(inrrrnlnu the Hospital
Editor Statesman: '
I?efore the final plans are made
in regard to the construction of
the new Salem hospital would it
not be infinitely better for every
one concerned to consider the ad
visability of Inviting the coopera
tion of the Catholics?
The Salem hospital has neve;
paid in the past, or if it has it is
the only private hospital in the
world that has succeeded! The
larrer private hosp.tals of New
York and other eastern cities
Imion and other British citlet.
have met with the same trouble
Desplt" the fact that all of them
are annually assisted with enor
mous private donations, endow
ments and so on. Some of thetn
have even contemplated clos'n?
entirely for lack of fnndr. It
such institutions should fail why
not Droflt bv their experience and
endeavor to arrange for a h spi
tal that is self-supportinK.
The organization of the Calho
lie hospitals throughout the ctvl
lized world is snch as to be abso
lutely self-supporting after initla
cost of construction.
On of the greatest handicaps
of private hospitals is that of ob
taining probationers and trained
nurses to work for the salaries
that are o'fered The Salem hos
pital nurses wero long very mueh
overworked, with the consequent
n-'gict of patients. i ne iem
hospital board, akin to other hos
pital boards, could not obtain suf
ficient help.
If n robaf loners and nurpes could
not be procured for the previous
small Salem hospital, how can we
expect to do better for the larger
institution? i
Another decidedly imporfant
Tactor. When the previous
' drive- for funds for the hospital
fell down, som-ori" wrote -through
ih local newspapers as to wheth
er the poor of Salem would ob
tain tre- accommodation. Th
reply was to the efect that th
noiilil hr Went as lnw
would be commensurate with
succes-ti:l operation of the hospi
tal. This. I maintain, was a"
evasion of the question. Hu tie
fact remains th"re was to bo no
fre accommodation.
Sir We have in Salem quite a
number of families wh"are m;u h
o to r to afford to pay Tor hos
pital treatment when sadly need
ed. And our own townspeople
very oft-n mffer aHhotich we tan
BsiB dit;mt C n" and a hqn
dred and nic others.
This is a matter which snouii
be remedied at once. And a pos
itive statement irm the Salem
hospital board shou'd be ma'le
that th- poor of Salem will be
rard for free of charge.
Much has been s-id a t "'

a hospital here We need one
most certainly.
