Neither does this superstition that there is something mysteriously “better” about eastern lubricants—merely because they cost more. Every quart of Zerolene you buy proves the groundlessness of this superstition. j Pacific Coast Crude Is Best Zerolene is a western oil—and a better ofl even if it does cost less. As a matter of fact, the best crude petroleum •o far discovered for the manufacture of a motor lubricant is obtained from Pacific Coast wells, and the most advanced refining process is this Company’s patented high-vacuum process during the use of which Zerolene is submitted to 15 positive check? for quality. would ride for miles asleep In the sad dles! Glory of 8o I aeons. July 18, 1918, found the First divi sion in front of Soissons. In front of the First division were trenches lit erally filled with German machine guns—plenty of ammunition. Back of these trenches was banked tier after tier of artillery. It looked like it would be Impossible to break the line with flesh and blood. Our Infantry had to advance across open wheat fields a half mile wide, face machine guns that were arranged by a traversing device so that the shots would strike a man about the breast. But the Infantry went forward close ly followed by the artillery. It was a genuine surprise! Prisoners said that no one but a fool or a mad man would attempt to take such a formidable line. At dawn the line was breaking! By noon the tide of battle was turning! By night the tide of battle had turned! Thousands fell killed and wounded! The remnant gained their objective— took the trenches that were literally filled wtth machine guns. The great decisive battle of the World war was about 350 miles long and hinged on Verdun. On that wide battle front were millions of men; yes, millions of men with guns in their hands struggling for the supremacy of this earth. In certain phases of that battle more men were killed and wounded in one hour than during our entire Civil war.

I have 49.30 been told that this town nad been 49.30 taken twice by the French and recov 49.30 ered by the Germans. They told the 49.30 First division to take Cantlgney. They 49.30 took Cantlgney. The enemy made a 49.30 counter-attack—the Americans drove 49.30 them back. Another. Another—the 49.30 same result. The enemy kept making 49.30 counter-attacks until in the sixth and 49.30 last counter-attacft to recover Cantlg 49.30 ney, the enemy massed six divisions, 49.30 and threw these six divisions against 49.30 less than one American division—for 49.30 wo had lost many men in these coun 49.30 ter-attacks—and in their last counter- 49.30 sttack less than one division of Amer 49.30 icans drove back six divisions of Ger 49.30 mans.

It gave the morale to the 49.30 Allies. The demand was: Give us 49.30 more American soldiers and we will 15.80 put an end to this cruel war. They are shock troops—lit to fight any 89.57 89.57 where.

Every resource of 49.30 the Central Powers of Europe was massed in one mighty avalanche 49.30 known as the Second Battle of the 49.30 Marne. It was now or never I 49.30 In the meantime other divisions— 66.85 same blood and the same kind of men 49.30 —had arrived from America. They 49.30 were holding the line at Chateau 53.25 Thierry and other placee. It seemed 53.25 to be impossible to stop the Germans 49.30 and save Paris from capture. The 49.30 First division was moved to the vicin 15.80 40.30 ity of Paris. One night, just after wo had found 49.30 the ground, a gieateagte 49.30 • toft spot 49.30 arrived. It was: March! Follow your 49.30 guide! Ast no questions! Infantry, 49.30 artillery, machine gunners—all the 49.30 material at a division—went forth in 49.30 the deed dark of night; not knowing 49.30 even the direction that we were go 49.30 ing. Just before dawn we entered a 49.30 heavy forest and remained in hiding 49.30 ail day. No fires. German planes 49.80 would see the smoke, know there were 49.30 troops in that forest. That night same 49.80 thing. Forced march nearly all night 49.30 In rain and mud. Ten minutes rest in 49.80 49.80 each hour. The ten minutes were 49.80 short and. the hours were long. Men I I * i $ I Experienced Drivers Prefer Zerolene Experienced drivers know this—that Zero lene lubricates more cars in the Pacific Coast states than any other oil made—heavy-duty trucks and high-priced cars alike. Superstitions don’t work out in practice—Zerolene will in crease the gasoline mileage of your car, re duce carbon accumulation in the cylinders and lengthen your car’s working life. Why pay tribute to a superstition? Insist on Zerolene—ask for it by name. Get the Facts! A series of independent and impartial reports show ing the experience of large users with Zerolene has been collected in our booklet/’Why Pay Tribute to a Super stition?” Ask any Standard Oil Company representative or Zerolene dealer for a copy. » i s < First Division Monument STANDARD OIL COMPANY ______ ( CALIFORNIA) ZEROLENE GENERAL LEE READY TO RENDER ANY AID "L ‘ Would Try to Find Wom an*» Missing Son “Dolly.” ITO i T Lee O AN old New Orleans newspaper s woman who met Gen.
