EXIA. TEXAS.—This oil town

it have been placed under
martial law recently by Governor Neff,
because of the existence of open,
flagrant violation of the law. Many ar

The situation Is In charge of Brig-
Gen. Jacob Wolters of the National
Oliftitl. Enroute to the area there
were forty men of the headquarters

$200 to $400. The wealthy corpora

that’s where the superiority,
of Cycol is proved
Actual results in actual service is the most conclusive
test of the motor oil. Cycol stands up under engine
heat, prevents many engine troubles, gives greater
power and mileage. These are the only attributes
that should guide you in buying motor oil.
S ays one motorist: “Cycol gives m ore pow er.”
“ I have less trouble with Cycol in th e m otor,”
says another. H ere’s w hat others say: “I get
4 0 0 m iles to th e gallon;” “Cycol gives m e
b etter compression;' “ Cycol stops overheating;”
“ U sed only 3 quart» — B erkeley, C alif, to
Astoria, Ore.;” “Cycol is the econom y oil.”
The reason for Cycol’s remarkable performances is
its freedom from destructive “sulpho” compounds.
These impurities are removed by the new Hexeon
Process, used oily by us. This process vastly in
creases stability of motor oil under engine heat—a
result long sought by the scientific lubrication world.
The absence of destructive “ sulpho ” compounds
means that Cycol does not break down, thin out or
evaporate rapidly in the motor. It maintains the
essential lubricating film, preventing metal-to-metal
contact and friction wear between moving parts.
Make a service test of Cycol. Flush your crank
case, not with kerosene or so-called “flushing-oils”
but with the grade of motor oil your Lubrication
Chart recommends, and refill with Cycol of the cor
rect grade as specified on the Cycol Lubrication Chart.
