OIL EDITOR RESORTS
TO TECHNICAL EXCUSE
C. C Crew, secretary of the Com
mercial Club, declares that Phil S.
Patchin. assistant to the president of
the Standard Oil Company, of Califor
nia, is a prizewinner at making ex
cuses. Recently the oil company print
ed a blossom number of the bulletin it
issues as a house organ. A panoramic
view of the Hood River valley was
shown. But the caption under the cut
read: "Panoramic view of Hood River
valley orchards. Salem, Oregon, where
blossomtime festivals are held annaal
ly, is about seventy miles, over a paved
hichwav. irom rortlana.
Mr. Crew thought the caption a little
misleading, and so wrote the oil pubu
cation. He has just received this re
ply:
"We beg to acknowledge and thank
you for your letter of April 18, concern
iner the letrend under a panoramic view
of Hood River valley, which appeared
in the Standard Oil bulletin for March
"As you say, we do, indeed, know
that Hood River is distinct in itself and
some 120 miles from Salem: We do not
wish a contorversy to ensue from our
effort to inform our readers about Ore
gon, hut if you will examine the title
carefully, yon will observe that it is
not as inaccurate as one would believe
from a hasty readine. You will see
period after the word 'orchards, and
you will observe that the word, 'Salem,'
opens a new sentence which deals with
that town.
"It might have been clearer, but it
is not inaccurate.

The following poem, as a tribute to
his sister and entitled. "Farewell
Flowers." was written by W. Ross
Winans :
We bring for thee, dear Sister ours,
'Ere thou art laid to rest.
With loving hearts sweet farewell
flowers
To lay upon thy breast ;
Wild roses and forget-me-nots
Now thou art called to die,
Shall grow upon thy burial lots
To say our last goodbye.
Thou art not dead but sleeping,
More beautiful to rise,
In Heaven there's no more weeping
Nor sorrowful goodbyes ;
Then meet us on that mystic strand,
On Jordan's distant shore
As each membnr of our band
Crosses to return no more.
Refrain
Sister, thy life was like thy mother's,
Patient, loving, kind and true,
Husband, father, sisters, brothers
Lovingly remember you ;
In the twilight shadows falling,
While we miss thee from our home,
Sister, thou art calling, calling,
Calling, calling us to come.

LOCAL FOLK ARE
EATING MUSHROOMS
Hood River folk with a bent toward
the epicure are now feasting on mush
rooms. Several edible varieties of the
fungi are found here in the spring
months. The sponge mushroom, found
in abundance in orchards, where the
spores thrive on old rotten apples, is a
favorite here. Other varieties are
found in lowland fertile spots. Num
erous boys of the town are adding to
their savings accounts by the harvest
of the fungi.
During the fall of the year, follow
inar the early rains, mushrooms are
more plentiful over the mid-Columbia
than in the spring months, in some
sections fungi, varieties of which reach
a very large size, are harvested in
commercial quantities by Japanese.
Utilizing strawberrv crates for con
tainers, the Orientals ship considerable
quantities of the mushrooms to Califor
nia metropolitan points.

An automobile angina having a 4" bora will
hav when cold a clearance between Its pistons
nd cyUnders of approximately 41000 of an

to operating temperature, this clearance will
have decreased 7S, or to 11000 of an Inch.
Likewise, a main crankshaft Bearing having a
clearance of about 1J41000 of an inch when
cold, will show a decrease in this clearance at

An analysia of Zerolene shows that the differ

The right body at all operating
temperatures
For this reason Zerolene oils have at all engine
temperatures exactly the required body to
splash ard flow freely into the fast-moving,
ta;alUKarance bearings to provide an ad
equate film of lubricant.
Because of their "oiliness," Zerolene oils cling
to bearing surfaces, and at the Same time offer
in themselves a minimum of resistance to the
engine power going to the driving wheels.
For this reason they give perfect lubrication
