741 Graduates
At Texas A&M
College This Year
The total of 741 candidates
for degrees to be conferred at
Texas A&M College Friday
evening, May 15, shows a slight
decrease over the 763 who re-
ceived degrees last June, but
the decrease is less than was
to be expected under the pres-
ent world conditions, Acting
Registrar H. L. Heaton explain-
ed.
With the college the leader
in producing commissioned of-
ficers for the United States
Army, many who might have
gone to military service earlier
remained to complete the work
toward their degree and coi
mission.
House Cleaning
Is . Important
In War Times
Spring house cleaning is
more important in war-time
than in ordinary years.
Mrs. Bernice Clayton, Ex-
tension Service specialist in
home improvement, says clean-
ing now will help the home-
maker salvage materials need-
ed for the war effort, reduce
fire hazards in the home, elim-
inate hiding places of insects,
increase space needed for other
uses, and make the home and
grounds more attractive.
Keeping things in good con-
dition is in line with the pledge
thousands of Extension Victory
Demonstrators in Texas are now
signing. The specialist says a
Victory demonstrator's home
and farmstead should be as
orderly as an Army Camp and
as clean as the deck of a bat-
tleship.
o
Birthday Celebration.
Mrs. Tom Barrett and son,
Tommie, attended the birthday
celebration of her father, W.
C. Jordan, at Daingerfield Sun-
day. Thirty-five relatives and
friends met at the Daingerfield
State Park where a dinner was
served.

Watch Your Step,
Advises Booklet
By Safety Council
To help farm men and wo-
men act as their own safety
engineers, the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture in coop-
eration with the Federal In-
terdepartmental Safety Coun-
cil has published a bulletin
called Watch Your Step—Farm
Safety for National Defense.
Mrs. Bernice Clayton, Exten-
sion Service specialist in home
improvement, points out that
every year hundreds of thous-
ands of accidents, big and lit-
tle, take a tremendous toll of
the farm family's time and
money. With families already
short of labor and faced with
the need of producing more
Food for Freedom, neither the
farm family nor the nation can
afford accidents, she says.
The new pamphlet on prac-
tical ways to prevent some of
the more common farm acci-
dents is available from the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington d. C.

Now what's upping
the mileage
from this oil?
IIn
ill
How does prize wheat or corn at the county fair get that way?
Sure, man-made soil improvers—modern synthetics—were added to improve on nature.
And modern synthetics in Conoco motor oil
make it yield mileage that outscored all other brands
tested in the sensational Death Valley Certified Com-
petition. Five big-name quality brands got every fair
chance against Conoco N^i oil. All were run till engines
failed and none camc closer than 58% of the mileage
totaled by Conoco ! . . . the oil you can have for
vcur needed Spring oil change that's now overdue.. .
the oil whose best known man-made extra substance—
at no extra premium—gives your engine oil-plating.
Oil-plating backs up the familiar fluid type of oil
film with a surfacing of lubricant close-bonded to inner
engine parts. Every cylinder wall, for instance, becomes
a wall of oil-plating that doesn't all drain dry during
all the time you use Conoco N^ . Even after all-day
parking, the oil-plating is still up to the topmost piston
rings, ready to lubricate before any oil can circulate.
That's one plain way of foiling excess wear, and keep-
ing up mileage with your engine oil-plated.
But Conoco N*A oil also includes Thialkene inhibitor
... another synthetic ... invented to inhibit or restrain
the dangerous "jelling" of oil under excess strain. Engine
heat and pressure can even gum up oil into something
like fly-paper coating—only dirtier, and not much better
for mileage. Against this threat, Thialkene inhibitor was
created for Conoco (U. S. Pat. 2,218,132). And
Conoco N^'i out-mileaged the others in the Death Valley
Test —from 74% ail the way up to 161%. You can get
real optimistic about your own mileage. Conoco N^j
will come through for you. Change at Your Mileage
