incinst ising, Lave, Rhymed Reviews Penrod (By Booth Tarkington. Page & Co.) OX Tarkington (the one called Booth), Doubleday, Whose diction sparkles like a snow- field, Has Boswellized a tender youth And chronic culprit, Penrod Scho- field; And while I will not say I've known A lad of Pen’s precise complexion, There’s much about the boy, I ow That wakes sweet chords of recol- lection. He found, like others in their times, That Fate, before a day is ended, Can make unpardonable crimes Of actions wholly well-intended. An active youngster, blest or cursed With waves of wild imagination, Like other normal boys be nursed A wholesome shame of affectation; And hence, poor chap, the fault lay n With him when, costumed indis- creetly To act “The Child Sir Lancelot”, He busted up the show completely. And if he drowned the world in tar Or told his teacher strange romances, The boy was just as others are— The Sport of Adverse Circum- stances, Suppose yourself a child again,” An artless lad of twelve or under; Now would you always reason when Temptation came disguised, I won- der? And if a sentimental man, No matter how the Creature meant it, Should call you “Little Gentleman”, Now, honest, wouldn't you resent it? Our foolish Elders make our laws And, sternly punish lapse or shirking, But few have pled the Small Boy’s cause Or shown the way his mind is work- ing; So every whilom boy who knows What blank obtuseness marked his own folks Will hail this book that dares expose The crass stupidity of grown-folks. —Arthur Guiterman. r lubricating Ford Cars, there are cight vital considerations. Each one must be met if the motor is to deliver its full power and be free from undue heat and wear. These factors are: (1) Speed, Bore and Stroke. Under the hood you have a small, high-speed motor. The Ford speed conditions demand oil of a different body from that demanded by low-speed condi- tions. The body of Gargoyle Mobiloil “E meets this Ford need with scientific exactness. (2) Piston Clearance. The Ford pistons are closely fitted. Each piston has two upper rings, and one lower ring and an oil groove. The lower ring tends to prevent a surplus of oil working into the combustion chamber, while the oil groove insures proper Inbrication of the wrist-pin. Engineering tests show that the body of Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” forms the correct film for the Ford piston clearance. (3) Lubricating System. The oil is sup- plied to the crank case, The connecting rods dip. All parts of the Ford motor are supplied by ‘splash lubrication, requiring an. oil which will atomize readily, Gargoyle Mobiloil “ E has the scientifically correct body to properly distribute to all the friction surfaces. (4) Cooling. The Ford motor is water- cooled by the Thermo-Syphon system, and is equipped with two forward speeds. The con- tinued use of low gear often causes overheating. For full protection, oil should be used which distributes freely to the heated frictional sur- faces, as Gargoyle Mobiloil “E"; does. (5) Ignition. The Ford system of ignition is by low-tension magneto, located in the fly- whecl, employing a four-unit coil of the vibrator type. Gargoyle Mobiloil “ E” will burn cleanly from ignition points—a most important con- sideration. Bearings. The Ford bearings are of the two-bolt type, brass with Babbitt lining, closely fitted. The correct body of Gargoyle Mobiloil “E" enables it to properly reach all parts of the closely fitted bearings. (7) Carbon Deposit. To insure the least carbon under all conditions, an oil should be used whose only deposit will be of a dry, non- It is safest to buy Gar- goyle Mobiloils in original barrels, half-barrels and sealed ‘five and one-gallon € See that the red Gargoyle, our mark of manufacture, is on the container.

On hot summer days you will sometimes see Fords running under overheated conditions, often due to faulty lubrication. Ford owners who use Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” are free from this trouble, owing to the ability of the oil to absorb and radiate heat, On cold winter days oil is required of a fluidity which enables it to meet low-temperature conditions and permit ease in cranking the motor, Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” completely fills these requirements. Above we have said little about quality. The Vacuum Oil Company, recognized world-leaders scientific lubrication, have been spe t in the manufacture of high-grade lubricants for almost half a century. We guarantee Gargoyle Mobiloil “E" to be fully up to the high standard demanded of all Gargoyle products. It easily reaches all friction surfaces and gives thorough protection after distribution. In cne case, however, Gargoyle Mobiloil “ E” should not be used. 1910 Models, In the models of that motor conditions were slightly different. 1910 and earlier models use Gargoyle Nobiloi “A” for summer and Gargoyle Mobiloil Arctic" for winter. r a 1 To Owners of Other Cars: The analysis above is one of over 400 similar engineering studies of different American and foreign cars: Whatever the make or model of your car, you can get the benefit of these analyses and our advice, based on them, from our complete Lubricating Chart.
