Only patented Conoco
Germ Processed oil
from Your Mileage
Merchant's station
can give your engine
OIL-PLATING.
Other oils can't. No
matter how they're re-
fined they cannot surpass
the correct refining of Germ
Processed oil. But refining only
takes things oat, while Germ
Processing adds in the patented man-
made substance that forces oil to "join up"
with the working parts, keeping them OIL-
PLATED. All the while Germ Processed oil is used,
you have permanent OIL-PLATING. Like all plating,
OIL-PLATING keeps wear away and it never drains down
nor waits for the oil pump! Before other oils could even
begin to circulate, OIL-PLATING will lubricate! Hence no "dry
Btarts" with your engine OIL-PLATED. And platings don't
fly off at Summer speeds, or frizzb away in the heat. So the heat
indicator stays on the safe side, and the gauge-stick says
"Still full of Conoco Germ Processed oil!" Have your Mileage

LAND TAX ISSUE IS
PARAMOUNT IN GOVERNOR'S
RACE
AUSTIN, May 23—Texas' land
tax became a paramount issue in
the rare* for governor this week,
with Attorney General William Mc-
Craw taking the stand that the
present ad valorem is all right and
that a sales tax would "come out of
the pockets of those least able to
pay."
Exactly opposite on the stand cf
Carl Crowley, who is trying to capi-
talize on his service in the Post
Office department and is advocat-
ing a luxuary tax to replace the
ad valorem.
McCraw, at Kirbyville Saturday
probably came off with far the
more popular end. declaring the
Crowley luxury tax is "nothing
more than a common sales tax."
Col. Ernest O. Thompson, whose
press releases call the "fighting
red-headed former Mayor of Am-
arillo." set a fast pace last week
with four political speeches, a high
school commencement, and partici-
pated in the statewide proration
hearing at Austin.
Tom Hunter, now a veteran gu-
bernatorial campaigner, comes from

BETTER ROADS NEEDED
Men who have made a study of
the highway accident problem are
coming to the conclusion that the
whole remedy Is not to be found
in the education of motorists in
safe driving and the punishment
of those responsible for accidents.
Better highways are needed, too.
Highway coiuitnictjon and main-
tenance has lagged so far behind
the increased speed of modern cars
that tlie next big step in the pre-
vention of motor fatalities and
muimings mast be that of making
the roads themselves safer, straigh-
tening out bad curves, widening
the roadways, above all evolving
Hi, economical system of lighting
which vytU |nake night driving saf-
er. Those responsible for highway
conditions should take a lesson
from Industry. For years employ-
ers tajked "safety iirst" to tlli
workers in factories, tried by every
means of porsijasloji [q make them
more careful around machinery,

But the universal human attributes
of carelessness and the foolish
readiness of most to "take chance"
prevented any important decrease
ji) Industrial accidents until manu-
facturers vyerp forced to remodel
their plants aijcl machines to make
!hem fool-proof. Since the general
introduction of safety devices in
factories the volume of industrial
accidents has been reduced to a
small fraction of the former fig-
ures.
Make the highways fool-proof, or
as nearly so as can humanly be
done. Motorists generally pay en-
ough in gas faxes to cover the cost
of perfect roads. Don't divert that
tax to other purposes, but give us
safp roads.
