Subjecting the anti-western oil superstition to the
test of actual comparison in service, this Com
pany verified independently our claims that
Zerolene will lubricate the modern automobile
engine as well or better than any oil on the
market, irrespective of price, and whether of
eastern or western origin. A part of their letter
follows:
“During the past three or four years we have exper
imented with various brands of eastern and western
lubricating oils, including Zerolene oil. The results
of these teats have proved to our satisfaction that
Zerolene lubricates our equipment with the greatest
efficiency.
*Our recent decision to lubricate our trucks exclu
sively with Zerolene oils has resulted in the reduc
tion to a minimum of mechanical difficulties which
were due to faulty lubrication.*

THE OIL QUESTION-
—
Andrew Mellon has said that if the
adjusted compensation were paid,
that taxes in the nation could not be
reduced. By his statement the pub
lic has been misled. According to a
pamphlet prepared and circulated by
John R Quinn, National Commander
of the AmericAn Legion, Mr. Mellon’s
own figures show that when Adjust
ed Compensation has been paid, that
it will still be possible to reduce gov-
•rnment expenses $242,000,000 per
year.
During the war, the soldier was
paid $80 per month. In a majority
of eases from this amount $15 was
deducted for allotment to depend- .
ants, and $6.50 for insurance, leaving
the princely sum of $8.5(1 of actual
pay. Out of this poor balance, 80
.per cent of the soldiers bought Lib
erty bonds on the installment plan.
When the soldier came home he
