It is published in New York, but circulates through- out the American Continent. We have nothing in Britain to correspond to Lire. It is like a mixture of Punch, of a serious weekly journal, and of some other illustrated paper which indulges in more levity than we should find in Punch, During the war the editorial articles in Lire have been written with deep and strong feeling, and they have reached the zenith of their sympathy with the Allies in the article in the “ John Bull Number.” When the articles were full of uncon- ventional turns of phrase, we liked them the better and thought them the more powerful. Sincere feeling in undress is always a compelling thing, as Lowell well knew when the passions of his soul surged out in dialect. We know that many of these articles were written by Mr, Edward S. Martin, as they have since been reprinted in a volume reviewed in the Spectator of February 27th, 1915. Whether or not the latest article was written by him we do not know, but it is characteristic, and if (being judges in our own cause) we may venture to say so, worthy of him. The article says that a complaint has been made against Presi- dent Wilson that he is “practically an Englishman "—that is to say, he speaks English, thinks in English, and is of Brit- ish descent. “ Fifty or sixty millions of the present inhabitants of this country,” says the writer, “are open to the same objection.” The writer admits that it is a hundred and fifty years since it was openly popular in America to be “ prac tically English.” A trouble that happened when America “set up housekeeping “— a pleasant litotes for the Revolutionary War—made it necessary for the Amer- icans of the day to emphasize the fact that they were not Englishmen. In the middle of the last century, again, the great Trish immigration sharpened the point of American dislike and mistrust of England. There were many other rea- sons and incidents which prevented Americans from being “too great ad- mirers or lovers of their blood brethren.” But—here comes the confession—" nature is not to be balked by mere politics.” It is impossible to read these words without a thrill of gratitude and pride in the sense of union. We know that it is real. “Propaganda” may go hang so long as the unseen bond is there. Kin- ip counts for something, indecd for finitely much, after all. It may slumber when profound peace makes cousinly jars seem not too dangerous. But it means deep down a common way of looking at life. So now! We find ourselves in such circumstances as those when the American naval officer rushed to the rescue of British seamen in a Chinese war, although his country was not at war with China, or when Sir Edward Seymour threatened to interpose his ships between Admiral Dewey's fleet in Manila Bay and (Continued on page 593) Protect Your New Car About 900,000 cars will be bought this year. Thousands of those new cars will age through lack of proper attention. Between the new car and the prematurely old car there are three main differences : 1, Silent motor 1. Noisy motor 2. Full power . 2. Weakened power 3. Infrequent repairs 3. Frequent repairs Let us look at the symptoms of premature old age: (1). Ina new motor, only one thing brings on noise. That is abuse. Too often noise is the motor’s com- plaint against improper lubrication. (2) The most serious causes of permanently weak- ened power are scored cylinders, worn bearings and piston rings. These troubles are brought on by incor- rect lubrication. (3) During the first year, engine repairs usually are infrequent—even with incorrect oil. But with incorrect lubrication the second year brings the reckoning. The metal worn out by friction is gone forever. The results of wear now show up plainly. The worn motor never “comes back.” An_ investigation among New York repair shops showed that over 50% of all motor troubles brought to them are caused by incorrect lubrication. The one main factor in keeping your new car new is correct lubrication. You selected a car that suits you. Now select the oil that suits your car.
