GENERAL EXPERT TALKS ON OILS Imagine spreading & film of motor oil so thin that a quart would covr a smooth surface of the same area as Coast highway No. 101 from San Di ego to Seattle, plus U. 8. high way No. 10 from Seattle to Spo kane. Such Is the rather dumb founding "Believe It or Net" ad vanced by O. P. Olson, Jr., tech nical representa tive of Gneiral Petroleum Cor poration, who conducted the first of a series of meetings here lest night for local General service station operators and the public. "How much oil do you think H takes to cover a cylinder wall of 45 square Inches?" asks Olsen. "Would you say half an ounce? Well, you're wrong. Only the minutest fraction of a drop! If aa much aa a single drop were required, oil consumption would be enormous. "At one drop per cylinder, en eight-cylinder motor, going 50 miles an hour, with 18.000 gasoline com bustions per minute, would use 0.0 quarts of oil per hour. "Imagine trying to measure the thinness of a map bubble film. Then take one tenth of this, and you have the measurement of an oil film suf ficient to protect the metal block of your motor. Smithsonian Institute aaya the coating of a soap bubble measures 100 molecules. But the oil film on a motor cylinder Is computed at but 10 molecules. Now you under stand why. to creato such a lubricat ing coat, requires but the minutest fraction of a drop. How Important It Is that this oil be of the purest, most highly lubricating quality." The second In .the series of those meetings will he tonight In the Hotel Medford storting at 8:00 o'clock. The public Is Invited to attend, according to T. M. Htgglns, district manager here for General. Four hundred children from the fourth, fifth snd sixth grades of the Medford elementary schools will present a Christmas rarol program Thursday.

The actress' face was bloody and a crown of a false tooth had been dislodged In her mouth. The Ignition key was In the lock of the car, and It bad been turned on. Home In Early Mom Peters, who pollue said was the last person known to have seen Miss Todd alive, related he drove her and her mother to Hollywood at 8 p. m. Sat urday. Between 3 and 3 a. m. he called for her at the Trocadero and drove her to her own cafe on the coast highway four miles north of Santa Monica. Accustomed to escorting her from the machine to the door of her apart ment above the cafe, Peters said he was told by Miss Todd that she would "look nfter herself." He returned to his Hollywood stand at 4:20 a. m he said. Co-partner with the actress In the cafe venture, Roland West, former film director, told Capt. Bruce Clark he had "locked out" Miss Todd Sun day morning from her living quarters because she had been "getting In late." "As It was necessary for me to stay up lnte and open the door for her," West said. "I told her when she start ed for the Trocadero that she should be at home at 2 o'clock In the morn ing. Locked Out "She replied that she'd be home at five minutes after 2. "At T o'clock I locked the door. I stayed awnke until 2:30, then retired. At about 3:30 I was awakened by the whining of my bulldog. I know It must have been Miss Todd at my door because had It been anyone else, the dog would have growled. "But she didn't make any noise or attempt to awaken me. Instead, she must have walked up the hill to the garage In which she kept her car, and getting in the car and becoming cold, started the motor. "Perhaps she fainted and succumb ed to the fumes. She had been sub ject to fainting spells." West said ho had been "around the place" all day Sunday. He said he did not launch a search for Miss Todd. Neither West nor Miss Todd's mother, Mrs. Alice Elizabeth Todd, who, after first declaring she believed her daughter had been murdered, said the star might have been stricken with a heart attack, could not explain the telephone call to Mrs. Ford which apparently Indicated the actress was alive Sunday after noon. Continue Probe Police said they would not aban don the possibility that the actress bad been slain, nor cease an Investi gation of other theories of suicide, accidental death,, or a fatal heart at- Jack. Miss Todd'a physician, however. said he had examined her ten days ago and she showed no signs of heart trouble. A sinister note was Injected Into the case when West disclosed the actress, victim of extortion plots which resulted In arrest of two men, recently received two new extortion notes which she had not turned over to authorities. The aeries of extortion notes Miss Todd received several months ago contained - threates to "wreck that Santa Monica cafe of yours" and said that "our San Francisco boys will lay you out." Two ment were arrested in New York. A Janitor. Harry Schl manskl, pleaded Innocent and was re leased on bond October 1. Edward Chlffert was reported still in custody. I'jman Intermediary One note named Abe Lyman, or chestra leader friend of Miss Todd, as an involuntary Intermediary to whom she could "pay $10,000 by March 0. and live." A top-ranking comedienne on the screen, teamed first with Zazu Pitts and then with Patsy Kelly, Miss Todd launched her cafe venture with West about a year ago as an entertaining side-line. West once directed her in a motion picture and their friendship was well known. She" had been married only once, to Pasquale J. de Cicco. wealthy sports man, and their union of two years was d lssol ved 1 n d 1 vorce court in 1934. As with other film players, ru mors of engagement frequently men tioned her.
