IS CLASSIFY OIL
Selection of Right Kind
Smoothes Way oi Car and
of Motorist
The experience of thousand? of mo
torists and innumerable testa marie by
the manufacturers of lubricating oils
prove thai the best oil that rau hp ob
lained is Ihe cheapest in the lone run,
for any car. Not onlv because It pre
vents depreciation, saves expensive re
pair bills, gives greater gasoline and
lire mileage, but also because an oil
that Is correct in quality and body
wears longer.
If the oil la what it should be. it
does not burn up under friction heat;
it remain? on the surfaces it la sup
posed to protect Oil too heavy or too
luht in body works past the piston
rings, reaches the combustion cbam j
bers and burns there. A carbon de !
posit forms, the engine begin: to
knock, and the car is due for an over
hauling.
But the right oil is not wasted in
this way. It remains a buffer to pre
vent friction and to absorb excessive
heat generated by the moving parts.
The miles of "wear" you get per gal
correctly lubricated.
SOME QUALITIES OF GOOD OIL.
What. then, arc the qualities pi ;
good lubricating oil? What must it
do while the engine is in operation'1 It
must be remembered that the whole
theory of lubrication is the prevention,
or at least the minimizing, of the ef
fects of friction. Tbe moving parts of
the machine must be kept apart by a
thin film of oil To perform this
function properly, the oil must have
the correct viscosity, or, less techni
cally, the right body If the oil is too
heavy, 't offers resistance to the mov
ing parts, especially lo the sliding mo
tion of the pistons This resistance not
only slows up acceleration, but gener
ates a heat that results in the over ;
heating of the entire engine. If. on the
other hand, the oil is too light in body,
U cannot maintain the necessary pro
tective film between surfaces. The
moving parts come into direct metallic
contact and become scored, or even j
fused.
LITTLE SEDIMENT
Lubricating oil of high quality leavi -a
minimum of sediment or carbon
residue after being consumed. This
carbonization depends upon tin viscos
ity volatility, susceptibility of the oil
towoxidatlon and the amount of leak
age past the piston rings.
Lubricating oil of high quality ha
a nigh "flash-poin; " In uon U i bnical
language the flash-point is Hip lowest
temperature at. which the oil vapors it;
nlte without setting fire to the o:l i
self. If the flash point is too low. It
means that the oil will evaporate from
the moving surfaces it is supposed to
protect, allowing friction.
'A. good lubricating oil must also
show a high test This la th- lowesl
temperature at which the oil Itself ik
nites and burns. Thr blcher the tem
perature in this test, the more you are
assured of lubricating efficiency
There are other qualities which a good
lubricating oil should possess, but
ihey are more or less technical and
concern the refiner and cbemlst more
than the consumer.

Mr. J. S. Hunter, of Slaterville and His New
Oldsmobile Touring: Six
Mr. Hunter, who is a well known Slaterville dairyman, purchased his new car this week from the Ogden Oldsmo
bilo Company, 2224 Washington avenue. He says there is ample reason for the keen pride he takes in the ownership
of an Olds Six. Besides its neat pppeanrnce and comfort, its satisfactory performance has bren most thoroughlj

Hudson and Essex Frames
Are Identical Except For
Measurements
hen four Essex cars made trips
across the continent in faster time
than any other car ever made it before,
quite a few people, not familiar with
details of construction and design,
would like to know just what made
this record possible.
According to L. L. Hains of the Og
den Motor Car company, credit is not
due alone to the high powered Essex
motor nor to any other one feature of
construction A uniformity of strength
and durability in every part is called
for in the Essex type
One of the most Important points
that contribute to the strength of the
Esex is the sturdiness of its frame.
The frame is the foundation of the
chassis and in the Hudson and Esse
special care hae been taken to con
struct a frame nble to withstand the
I variable strains to which a car is con
tinually subjected.
The frames of both cars are Identi
cal in construction with the exception
'of measurements. They are of special
steel, heat treated.
The channels are much deeper than
;in the average car. The Hudson has
a section seven inches deep und the
IX :c six inches.
The heavy cross members are worthy
of attention; especially the rear and
I Iron' tubes which are made of steel
tubing 2 inches in diamrter. There
'are not over half a dozen manufactur
ers using steel tubing at these points
owing lo its high cost. Quite a f-!W
have tubing at the same points but
' they are made of gas pipe ind do not
' contribute to the rigidity or protect
and support the frames as Intended.

Trip Easily
George Nelson of Nelson & Sons'
Mercantile Co.. Snowville. L'tah, passed
through Ogden Inst week on his way
to Tremonton with a lead of merchan
dise. He made the trip with an Olds
mobile economy truck, carrying 550U
pounds, and stated that he expected
to have even a bigger load on bis re
turn trip to Snowville.
"The trip." said Nelson, "is general
ly a pretty hard one, with several al
most impassable grades lo make and
the roads in some places cut deep
by traffic. The rain also aggravated
the condition to a ?ocsiderabi'.' extent,
making from th? dunt a slippery, slimy
mud. In spite of this, however, we
came right along, Buffering no incon
venience whatever, and, fortunately
with our truck, escaping the usual dis
comfort from the bumping and thump
ing on country roads. We made good
time all the way. and though we will
probably haul a bigger load s:oins back,
i we expect the trip to be just as sue

Look carefully In both directions
