' ' 3 Cold Weather Entails Extra Motor Strain Winter driving, according to Mobilgas and Mobiloil dealers, imposes severe conditions on automobile engines which can be more harmful to the prolonged life of the engine than warmer summer driving. Water, mixing with the oil in the crankcase, they assert, creates one of these conditions. j , "This was ! explained fully," dealers said in a jont statement, "by General Petroleum engineers during a meeting attended recent ly. It is one reason Winterproof ing is so important. "When gasoline Is burned, the carbon contained in the gasoline is converted o carbon dioxide, and the hydrogen contained is converted to water. Any engine will allow ' a certain amount of the combustion gases to blow by the rings and into the crankcase, and these gases contain the wat er. Under hot operation the gases will remain a vapor and pass out through the crankcase ventilation system. "Ini cold weather, however, the water vapor condenses in the crankcase and is whipped into an emulsion with the oil. This mix. ture the General Petroleum en gineers termed 'crankcase; mayon naise,' being formed of oil, water and fuel soot It can cause con siderable damage to a motor by gumming rings and even plugging the oil screen and preventing oil from reaching the bearings. "There is no known oil that will resist such emulsion, so the only cure is to drain the oil often enough that water emulsions cannot be formed In sufficient quantities to produce damage. This draining and changing to fresh oil is. part of Our Winter proofing service." TURNER PFC Melvin L. Sttn- ! nett, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. j Stinnett, Is at Campj Swift, i Texi.

Battery Spells Neglect Auto Trouble To the motorist "who is careless about the condition of bis tires and battery at the start . of. the winter season, . there . Is every chance of encountering , trouble long before spring arrives. This is the warning issued by distributors for Mobile batteries and Federal tires in ; this area. , "The battery is asked to carry a much greater load lit winter than in summer," dealers declare. "It takes heavy punishment when starting on cold morning, and in addition, with shorter days and longer nights, the greater need for lights increases i the burden. With these conditions in mind it is Important to have the battery thoroughly checked before it fails completely and possibly at a crit ical moment j "As for tires . . . to neglect these may invite trouble. That warning sign displayed on highways all through this area reading 'Slip pery When Wet or Frosty," means just that and an incautious driv er who ventures out with smooth tires during the bad weather per iod is risking a mishap. It isn't worth the chance, with retread and other tire service available at Mobilgas stations. To neglect either battery or tires is risky. It is better to rely on Winter-proof service being of fered by Mobilgas dealers. They'll check your tires and battery and advise you of their condition.,, Light Losses DotG rain Mart CHICAGO, Nov. 7 -(P)- Profit taking on yesterday's sharp up turn caused reactions in grain futures today although the only big loss was in September rye, which fell 2 cents a bushel.

It later fell considerably, however, to finish with a Yt cent gain. Cash grain markets continued strong and demand was active. Oats have been sought by feed manufacturers particularly be cause of their inability to get corn.
