EASY STARTING MATTER OF OIL Discovered the secret ot easy starting and flexible operation during the winter months. So claims E. E. Wyatt, local manager of the Standard Oil com pany. . .. .. - "And It really. Isn't a secret after all," he says, "it's merely a matter ot using an oil that stays fluid in cold weather." Wyatt, who is thoroughly post ed on matters pertaining to the correct lubrication of the modern automobile, says, that motorists are;finally beginning to appreci ate the Importance of using a low cold test oil in winter. The cold test of an oil Is the temperature at which an oil con geals and ceases to flow. "If the cold test isn't sufficient ly low, the oil will not remain in a fluid condition during the cold weather," says Wyatt. "We recommend Zerolene No. 1,. 3 or 5 for winter motoring," concludes Wyatt, "it has the low est cold test of any oil we have discovered. It flows freely in freez ing weather, and safeguards the. engine under all conditions." , LOCAL STORE IS HOST TO SANTA 'MRS TO DISCUSS IT NEWBERGjWEDNESDAY McMinnvllIe, Or., Dec. 11. rldan grange at Its last meet voted to call a meeting of all ogers in the Willamette val- . and adjoining counties at New 3, Wednesday, December 13, ' -nsibly to organize a district mge, but Jn addition to organ- ! 7g, an open meeting will be 1 to discuss tax reduction and perative marketing. .

"' Transients Get Help; Police Here Give A id; Crime Thus Lessened The policy of Salem police of ficials in furnishing free beds, showers and a warm Jail to tran sients who arrive In the city with out funds is largely responsible' for the comparative small amount of crime committed here, according to those who have studied care fully the situation in Oregon. This winter, perhaps, more men have been furnished tree sleeping quarters than ever before. Hardly a night passes when fewer than a half dozen transients are given beds and frequently the number runs as high as 18. , Night Desk Sergeant Ralpji Davis fre quently is kept busy taking the names and descriptions of those who wish to avail themselves of the Jail's privileges. Kept Out of Trouble. "Salem is coming to be known all along the line as a place where a free bed is offered," Chief of Police Moffitt said this after noon. "Here, if a man is without funds, he knows he may find a place to sleep and as a result usually doesn't feel it necessary to break some law In order to get the price of a bed. These men that Salem takes care of are not likely to get in trouble while at the Jail." Let it be known, too, that the transient gets decent treatment here. The Jail is kept clean and the "sleeper" may have a warm shower if he desires. Not infre quently a man appears at the desk who has but tew garments ana who is in consequence, 111. The police help him as best they can and it there ie any clothing avail able about the station he Is allow ed to take those garments he needs. - Old Clothes Needed. "We're out ot old garments now," Chief Moffitt said, "and we could use more. If people are anxious to help men that are down and out, here's their opportunity." The other day a man appeared at the station. It was a cold, wet day, but the man was carrying what remained of his shoes. He had been walking to Salem from another town and his feet were eo swollen he was forced to stay at the station for two days. During this time he was given assistance by the officers.
