P. H. SFE the professional humorist! He starts out in life with a glad and joyous disposition, care-free and enthusiastic; and this keeps up until his vein runs out. Then, in order to renew it, he ac- cumulates trouble. The more trouble that a professional humorist has in the background, the better able he is to write. Trouble, indeed, is his stock in trade. He lives upon contrast. His only justi- fication is to take himself seriously. The more seriously he takes himself, the more humorous he appears to the rest of the world, This is the secret of his success, To be a professional humorist, there- fore, always be sad. The sadder you are, the more money you can make. Sometimes he forgets to be sad and cherishes the delusion that he has “ ar- rived,” Then somebody gives him a hard jolt, and he goes back to his gloom. The motto of a professional humor- ist should be: “T may not have all the trouble in the world, but at least I make the most of what I have.” Back-Acting Innovations (OMEN have come along in the direction of independence and con- trol of life; there is no doubt of that.

For Fords Less Carbon — Less Heat VERY make of automobile has its operating problems. Among Ford owners two such problems are: Carbon troubles and Overheating. Of course every petroleum-base lubricant in burning must leave a carbon residue. But carbon residues are of three kinds. The first—which “cakes” hard on spark-plugs, piston-heads and valves—is the most troublesome. The second—also troublesome— is an adhesive, sticky or “ gummy ” carbon, which causes piston rings to s . ing Oil System The high standing of Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” among Ford owners is due to two things: (1) Its light carbon ash. In body Gargoyle Mobiloil * $ scientifically correct for the Ford piston clearance. If the oil-level is correct, Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” does not work past the piston rings into the combustion chambers in excess quantities. Thus troublesome carbon deposit, so com- mon on incorrectly lubricated Ford cars, is avoided. The slight carbon residue from Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” is a light, dry ash. It expels nat- urally through the exhaust. (2) Its quality enables Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” to withstand the high heat in the Ford combustion cham- bers. The correctness of the body as- stick in their re with resultant loss of power and also interferes with valve action. The third variety of carbon resi- due forms in a light, dry ash. This light ash is expelled through the ex- haust by the natural action of the engine.
