Picture Star Learns That Winter Motor
Oil Flows Either at Freezing or Bailing
Few person realize that winter
motor oil must stand up at either
freezing or boiling, and lubricate
efficiently under both temperature
extremes. The thermometer may be
at freezing, or even below zero, when
the car is started. Within 20 min
utes of driving the radiator may be
boiling. It la Important to use an
oil that will endure both kinds of
punishment, experts say.
Learning to her amazement that
specially-created winter oil will do
its work perfectly either at freezing
or boiling. Miss Lorraine Krueger, star
of RKO-Hadio Pictures, who plays
the lead opposite Joe Penner In "I'm
Prom the City," recently saw an In
teresting exhibit.
The exhibit showed oil flowing
from a Fllpruf bottle of Mobiloil
Arctic which had been frozen in a
cake of tee. Alongside' was another
bottle of the lubricant immersed In
boiling water The demonstration
was used by H. W. Taylor, lubricants
department manager of General Pe
troleum, to prove this winter oil will
flow freely, and lubricate effectively,
despite severe temperature extremes.
"Perfection of this oil. rightfully
called Arctic," said Taylor, "is a reaJ
achievement of Mobiloil engineers. It
enables car owners to piny safe
against fast wear of vital motor
parts."

Increasing Tire Life
The mileage In a tire depends to a
large extent on proper Inflation, ac
cording to U. S. Tiro engineers. When
pressure falls below the specified
level, there Is too much flexing of
sldewalls, uneven tread wear, harder
steering and excessive gasoline con
sumption.

"Accidents will happen! And they
happen thick and fast to motorists
with worn, smooth tires on wet skid
dy pavements," officials asy.
"Skidding and Inability to stop
quickly cause far and awy the great
eat number of motor accidents In
winter months, they pointed out.
"That's why U. S. tire engineers
worked so long and so hard to per
fect the revolutionary new 'Centipede
drip' tread design used exclusively
on the tr. 8. Royal Maater lira. Thla
patented new safety tread eliminates
forward and aide skids and brines a
car to a straight line stop as much
as 300 feet quicker than ordinary
tires.
"The trouble with most of us."
the officials continued, "Is that wo

gerously smooth. How much better to

Perfection of the modern automo

A new problem looms big for mo
torists today whenever a hypold.
rear-end gear Is lubricated. More
than 70 percent of the new cara are
equipped with this type gear, which
requires that lubrication must be
"handled with kid gloves" so to
speak. Mistakes would be costly.
"Because of the extremely heavy
pressures exerted on hypold gears,"
declare engineers of General Petro
leum, "the lubricants for them must
be specially compounded to Insure
adequate cushioning and save the
gears from undue wear or breakage
"The Important point Is that dif
ferent kinds of hypold gear lubricants
cannot be mixed with safety. Mixing
will bring about chemical reaction,
causing the greases to turn to taffy.
Then they cease to function. Having
