Only perfect satisfaction
can account for the use of
ZEROLENE by the ma

also testify that it is "a

They know from the rec
ords of their service de
partments and we know
from exhaustive tests
that ZEROLENE, cor
rectly refined from se
lected California asphalt
base crude, gives perfect
lubrication with least car

Correct Lubrication for the

This, the "L"-Head
type of automobile en
gine, like all internet
combustion engines, re
quires an oil that holds
its lubricating qualities
at cylinder heat, burns
clean in the combustion
chambers and goes out
with exhaust? ZERO
LENE fills these re
quirements perfectly,
because it is correctly re
fined from selected Cali

HAS CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA
English Writer Satisfied That Coun
try's Spirit Is Undefeated and
Undefeatable.
The Soundness nt core of the modern
man has bud one long triumphant dem
onstration. Take that wonderful little
story of a certain British superintend
ent of the pumping station at some
nil wells In Mesopotamia. A valve ill
the oil pipe had split and n fountain
of oil was being thrown up mi all
sides; while thirty yards oft mid noth
ing between, the furnaces were In full
blast.
To prevent n terrible conflagration
and great loss of life, and save the oil
wells, It was necessary to turn off the
furnaces. The superintendent, without
u moment's hesitation, sprang through
the oil spray, turned off the furnaces,
and (lied. Modern man has been dninji
things like that all through this war.
We Britons are un Insular people,
Ignorant, for the most part, of any
thing outside our own empire; and It
has struck me as u rather wonderful
tribute to America that one could go
the length of lirltuln und find Hardly
a creature who was not confident that
Americans will display the same en
durance, bravery und unselfishness
that we have seen displayed by our
own men all these yours. Instinctive
ly, we know und feel It.
There Is something proud In Ameri
cans as in ourselves, something unde
feated and undefeatable. It comes of
our common cult of freedom ami of the
Individual conscience, and In both our
countries Is a growing, not a withering,
quality. John Galsworthy In Harper's
Magazine.
