fect lubrication with less wear and
less carbon deposit.
Most cars are now lubricated with
ZEROLENE because their owners
have learned through experience that
there is no better oil.
ZEROLENE it the ctAect oil for all types of
automobile engines. It is the correct oil for
your automobile. Get our lubrication ' irt

"Duty to one's country docs not
end on the parade ground, nor even
on the battle field, but consists in
doing everything in one's power to
help win the war," says an order is
sued by Gen. Pershing, a copy of
which has been received by the War
Department.
"To write home frequently and
regularly to keep in constant touch
with family and friends is one of the
soldier's most important duties. Mo
thers and fathers will suffer if they
do not hear often from sons fighting

Portland, Ore., Juno 24. In tu
nouneing the recent Food Adminis
tration rule that, until further notice,
uo family In Oregon be allowed to
purchase mere than 25 poouds of su
gar (or canning purposes, instead of
the 100 pounds heretofore permitted,
Assistant Federal Food Administra
tor V. K. Newell explained that this
new restriction is not due to any ac
tual shortage of sugar or of sugar-re-lining
capacity but that it is made ne
cessary because of the lack of ship
ping facilities. .
"There is ample raw sujMr in the
West Indies, Hawaii, the Philliplnes,
and otiier sugar-producing countries."
said Mr. Newell, "and there is ample
sugar-refining capacity here in the
United States. It is all a 'lueslioii of
ships in which to bring the raw sugar
to this country. Every foot of ship
ping space is in demand for overseas
erpcrt, and we must get along with
as little transportation as possible
for the needs of our own country.
The previous allowance of 100 pounds
of sugar for canning was very liberal,
much more liberal than in many oth
er states. Those who secured 100
pound sacks have probably supplied
their canning needs for the season,
but those who have not as yet bought
their canning supplies must get their
sugar as they need it, purchasing not
more than -25 pounds at a time. It
should be clearly understood, too,
that where it is not absolutely essen
tial to a family to have the full 25
pounds, a lesser amount should be
purchased, In order that no more su
gar than necessary be drawn out of
the general supply until the accumu
lation is sufficient to permit more lib
eral drafts for domestic purposes.
This will not work a hardship on any
one, as sugar will not be drawn out
of the nation's supply so rapidly and
the distribution will be more equible.
The new restriction does not have
any application to sugar purchased
for general household use, which is
to be purchased only t'o pounds at a
time in towns and cities, and five
pounds to rural consumers.
ACCIDENTS ON INCREASE
Total tit 20,700 Persons Hurt In Year
In Oregon.
SALEM, Or., june -'(. (Special.)
In a statement Issued today by the
Industrial Accident Commission cov
ering its business for the year ending
May 31, a great increase In work for
!u- period is pointed out, owing to
'l:e fact, the commission stales, that
a :nuch larger number of units have
'ie:i advance of the .-.'o'l-.mco's
compensation act and greater aotlv
! v catispd by war conditions.
In tile statement the commission
"ivs:
"Duvine the year ending May 31,
1917, 11,71! accidents were reported
to the commission, of which S3 were
fatal, while during the past year 211,
769 accidents were reported, 169 of
these being fatal.
"Employers contributed to the in
surance fund during the past year
$1,573,590.32, while in the preceding
year the total was only $832,173.59.
The payments made by workmen dur

"There was paid out in compensa
'ion benefits during the past year
$1,266,642.74, and for the preceding
year the total was $884,942.22.
"During the year ending May 31,
1917, the cost of administration was
"al to 7.68 per cent of the total re
ceipts, while for the last 12 months
he ratio was lowered to 5.17 per
ent. Out of all moneys s'lent. by the
-mniission for every purpose since
'he law became effective, injured
vorVmen have received In compensu
Mon benefits 91.7 kper cent of the to
al expenditures."

oddly Sbi.pcd l-Vet Now (Jet Fined
in Army Shoes.
Two out of every 1,00(1 men in the
Army have to have their shoes made
lo order. In several camps entire
regiments have had their feet meas
ured, and hundreds of drawings were
made of odd shapes and sizes. At
the present time the Army uses be
tween 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 pairs
of shoes a month.
Facts brought out in tests seem to
prove that men in the present Army
are larger than those serving In pre
vious wars. Not only is this shown
by the larger sizes jf shoes called for,
but by the larger si'.es of outer cloth
ing that Is being required. Records
In the QuartM.vmaf.ioi' Corps show
that a size larger, on the average, Is
being demanded In blouses, shirts,
and breeches than have ever before
been used.
