The bitterness of the tight on the platform became increasingly evident. The papers carried huge black headlines about it The band played familiar tunes that were becoming to sound tiresome and silly, to fill In gaps In the program; a famous humorist cracked jokes that permeated from the press section to the rostrum ; the permanent chairman bristled more and more. At last it was announced that no agreement having been reached, a majority and a minority report would both be submitted. There was a day of oratory and eloquence and hysteria; of plays to the gallery and appeals to sectionalism. It ended as It had begun, in confusion and hard feelings, and dramatic instability.

I am looking for my piece of bacon, he explained when, although accustomed to his curious temperament, they asked for an explanation. This story was told me in illustraof a tion of the charming man of letters there was, I may add, no piece of bacon under the sideboard when they looked for it but to me it bears a different interpretation. On this occasion I do not think he was absent-minde- d at all. I think he was wrestling with the devil that habitually enters into some common object of the household and whisks it away into space. It Is a devil that beats us all; and I have no difficulty in believing that the piece of bacon really leaped from his plate and shot under the sideboard and then disappeared. No one who has possessed a pair of scissors or spectacles, a pencil, or a knife, or a piece of india rubber, or an ear trumpet ls in a position to doubt his assertion. Reason, I admit, is against this theory of the capacity for locomotion shown by the inanimate; but I do not pretend that there is any reason In the matter. I am stating facts, and everybody knows it is a fact that the pen you put down on the table a moment ago simply vanished while you walked across the room to consult a book, and then, when you had wasted several minutes in turning the room upside down in a vain search for it, reappeared where you originally left it The pen may be a needle or a hammer or a bunch of keys or a pipe; its ability to dis well-know- absent-mindedne- appear and reappear without human agency is the same in each case. (The only exception to this rule is provided by the box of matches, which requires no supernatural aids to disappearance.) Most mysterious of all is the itinerary of the object that vanishes. Where does my fountain pen go when my back is turned and before it returns to where I left it? If I knew that I suppose I should know how to exorcise permanently the devil that enters into the inanimate object and gets the better of me every time. I do not really want to exorcise him. He is almost the last relic in a material age of those things that cannot be explained away by reason or logic or science. The magic of the inanimate is a thing to be accepted, not a thing to be proved. I can tell you it is there, but if you do not see it I cannot make you believe me. The best kind of truth is like that, as every child can tell you who knows that, as soon as lie goes to sleep, his playthings become alive. Besides, in spite of the power of the inanimate to exasperate us at every turn in our daily life, it holds at least one vestige of consolation for animate nature as represented by us. Can we wonder, when pens and pencils and pipes behave as they do, unprovoked, that the human race, strung to a finer scale and stranded in a world filled with inanimate objects, remains perverse, Incalculable, prone to wayward action, and quite unable to account for Its own foolishness?

Cs W0' . proved in the most daring and convinc- ing Motor Oi! Test ever made . WHEN New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil was perfected, it had lubrication values so great that a mere statement of them would seem absurd. Could you believe that any strictly stock motor could run 4,729 miles on just five quarts of oil before wrecking itself? It did and Conoco proved it in competition with five widely known, nationally advertised, quality brands of motor oil! The competition was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, under the supervision of the Contest Board, American , AAA Low Consumption and Motor Protection SANCTION NO. 3001 and the last competitor of New and Automobile Association. Six new, strictly stock cars, were used a different oil of the same S. A. E. grade in each. After the cars were broken in for 2,500 miles, they were drained, examined and a fresh fill of five quarts put in each crankcase. No more oil was added. Then the crankcases were sealed by an AAA official. The real test began. It was ordered that they be driven at an average of 500 miles a day at 5 0 miles an hour until their motors failed to operate. Oil No. 4 was first to fail at 1,713.2 miles. Oil No. 6 failed at 1,764.4 miles. Oil No. 5 ruined its motor at 1,815.9 miles; three of them were out of the running. The next day Oil No. 1 failed to lubricate and, its motor wrecked, stopped at 2,266.8 miles. Two cars two oils still left in the test. Oil No. 3, after a remarkable run of 3,318.8 miles, came to a shuddering stop, Im- proved Conoco Germ Processed Oil, was out. The lone car, with this tremendously vital oil, labeled No. 2, went on and on. On the tenth day, at an almost unbelievable total of 4,729 miles, it failed an all-tirecord mileage on a total of five quarts ! The Hidden Quart of new oily penetrativeness won the greater film strength and higher resistance to the effects of dilution the absence of carbon and sludge all aided in this great achievement. It firmly supported Conocos patented principle of added oiliness it proved every claim. Conoco alone can make oil this way. It is covered by recent United States patents. You can have this oil in your car, for it costs no more than other quality oils. Drive into a Conoco Station or dealer, marked by the Red Triangle. Fill and know the satisfaction, the freedom from repairs, the economy of low consumption that only Conoco gives.
