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."

meetings will he tonight In the Hotel

DEATH
PUZZLES POLICE

mistress, went to the garage and
found the door slightly open. 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.
Kiwanians Defeat
Wives At Bridge
Kiwanians defeated their wives at
bridge last night following a din

won 8 to be added to their fund
used In aiding needy children.
About 40 members and their wives
attended the affair, bringing gifts
for distribution among deserving
children at Christmas.
