Winter-Proof Plan Designed
To Keep Cars on Highways
For Duration, Says Simmons ,
; How many of the automobiles on the road today will con
i tine to furnish transportation for the duration of the war? Con
r fronted by this question, and also considering the imminent
change to cotdery story weather, Mobil dealers of this area came
" forth today with a winter-proof plan embracing three 'musts
to assist in prolonging car life. i . ' -
"One of the principal objects of this winter-proof plan, says
H, A. Simmons, local manager tor
. the Mobiloil-Mobilgas marketers,
- is to help the motorist in pre
. venting unnecessary and cosily
; friction of the vital part of his
J car, parts which he may not. be
able to: replace for the duration.
. It will be a sorry day for any
car owner when one1 of the parts
of his car wears out because of
improper , lubrication .and , too
much friction, and when he is
told by the mechanic or supply
. house that such a part is no longer
. available. Then, this motorist -will
' be forced to lay up his machine, if
v he can't haye the part temporarily
' fixed. : ' ': ' ':
v ,. Mobile dealers, ? therefore, feel
that they are rendering a patriotic
serivce in insisting .that there are
certain 'must' orders to be follow-
ed to I help prevent such a ca
'l lamity-ifor it really would be a
r calamity to the . man who n-ieds
- his car. -
'Right now, with changing
i: weather either upon us or just
. ahead Of us with colder,; story
driving conditions to contend
. with the "must' program . of es
sential lubrications and inspec
' tions started by Mobil dealers as
a part of their Winter-proof plan,
is mighty welcome to the motorist.
"The three most essential
musts laid down for Mobil deal
ers to follow in winter-proofing
cars,; are: Drain out old, dirty,
worn Summer oil and change to
Winter grade; thoroughly lubri
cate chassis with winter lubri--'
cants; flush out and change trans
mission and differential lubricants
to fresh winter grades. These
musts - are' offered 'in' a ' special
combination ;;; I
"Mobile men are also inspecting
many important car parts, includ
ing tires, battery, condition of
cooling system, spark plugs, oil
i filter, air filter, etc., to help their
customers make sure their cars
will continue to render good ser
vice as long as possible."

Oil Cushion
Paper Thin
"Did. you ever contemplate the
thinness of a ' cigarette v paper?"
queried Mobil Man H. G. Fries en
yesterday. " tysterious as It may
seem, the space between "the pis
ton and cylinder wall of a mod
ern automobile motor In less than
half the I thinness " of a" cigarette
paper. It's one of the wonders of
science: that oil can be. so made
and so perfectly balanced as to
form a continuous protective cu
shion - in such cramped quarters.
But, : We must . not presume too
much on the oil which is given
this vital task. When the oil is
worn out and dirty, after a gruel
ling summer and fall, it should be
flushed out and changed to the
correct, fast flowing winter grade.
In this manner, - with small in
vestment, we protect vital, expen
sive machinery and - help to as
sure continuous driving without
fear of breakdowns. This opera
tion is an important part of winter-proof
protection, which also
includes correct seasonal lubrica
tion of gears and all chassis
parts.! :

war measure, would be ruinous to after-war livestock prices, Dr.

agricultural department, predicted here Saturday. '
. He said raUoniiig of meat would be. preferrable to meatless
days.
v Lytle said it generally was con

which the 1 livestock industry
found itself after the first World
war ', was . due to ; habits formed
from the meatless days regulation.

. Lytle said the average price for
lambs in, 1918. was $133 per hun
dred pounds but in ;1921 it had
dropped to $7.19 per hundred
pounds. - Hogs decreased in the

On Drainage
"In the operation of an automo
bile motor," says Manger Scotty
Marr, Mobilgas .dealer, wit is
found that " regular crankcase
drainage prolongs; its life? In" fact
this statement is made to all the
manuals - issued by' the Chrysler
corporation, makers of Dodge,
Plymouth and -DeSoto. Similar
statements are made by the other
car manufacturers. Their engin
eers declare that 'the oil Is sub
ject to dilution, contamination by
water, fuel, acid land other for
eign elements, which "reduce lu
bricating quality. All these adul
terating materials' tend . to form
more .rapidly as the temperature
goes down. ", That's why the ex
perts : advise draining , more fre
quently to cold weather. Change
of oil is one :' of i the important
commands of the winter-proof
period. 'Motorists who follow this
command help - to avert costly
wear on highly finished engine
surfaces." ::-r : -'Z--; .

The dirt and sludge that have accumulated in your
