Correct Lubrication for the
Valve-in-Head-Type Motor
The Valve-in-head-type en
gine illustrated here, like all
internal combustion engines,
requires an oil that holds its
lubricating qualities at cyl
inder heat, burns clean in
the combustion chambers
and goes out with exhaust.
Zerolene fills these require
ments perfectly, because it is
correctly refined from selected
California aaphalt-base crude
ZEROLENE
The Standard Oil for Motor Cars
ItKeepsthe Engine Young!
Experts agree in recommending ZEROLENE because
it keeps the engine young, full-powered, smooth-running,
and economical in fuel and oil consumption.
The majority of motorists are now using ZEROLENE,
because 'they have learned by experience that there is
no better oil to be had.
Correctly refined from selected California asphalt-base
crude, ZEROLENE gives perfect lubrication with less
wear and less carbon deposit. Less wear because ZER
OLENE keeps its lubricating body at cylinder heat
Less carbon because, being made from asphalt -base
crude, it burns clean and goes out with exhaust.
ZEROLENE is the correct oil for all types of automo
bile engines. It is the correct oil for your automobile.

tency for your car.

Both Louis XIV and XV Ruled Over
Domain That Included Great
Western Commonwealth.
There were but two French kings
who ever ruled over Missouri, observes
the Knnsns City Star. The first of
these was Louis XIV, for whom La
Salle took possession of the Missis
sippi river and of all the country
drained by Its tributaries. Ln Snllc
named the country Louisiana In honor
of his king. For governmental pur
poses the whole of Lonlslnnn was at
tached to new France and Frontennc
becume the first governor, ruling over
the largest domain ever under tho
swny of one man on this continent.
France owned the central part of tho
continent from the Gulf to the pnlnr
seas. Thus Frontennc became the first
governor of the region that is now
Missouri.
But it was ln the reign of Louis XV,
who succeeded Louis XIV, that Mis
souri received from France the first
vivifying touches of civilization. Un
der this reign the city of St. Louis was
founded and was named, not In honor
of Louis XV, who was no snlnt, but
In honor of Louis IX, who thpn bad
been dead 500 years, and who was the
most saintly king France ever rind.
New Orleans was founded, too, dur
ing the reign of Louis XV, nnd was
named for the duke of Orleans, re
gent for the young king, who was
crowned at five venrs old.
