I Mistrial to UmmwI Cam 2 iSumtcr, Aug. f.?No agreement was reached by the jary In the ?ass of A. W. Newman against the estate ?i E. B. Wilson, deceased; Q. A. Lemmon and Mary Wilson, administrators of the estate, and after it had been out all night Judge Wilson ordered a mistrial and discharged the jury. The suit was one for 920)000 because of the allaged suffering of one of Mr. Newman's children following removal of its tonsils by Dr. Wilsou on June 5, 19}9, and the ehild's death in the early morning of the next day. The suit was an unusual one from several angles and attracted much attention. The plaintiff alleged that death was due frbm hemorrhage and shock following the operation. Numerous members of the medical fraternity of this city and ? other places wife put on the etand to prove and disprove the allegation* made in the suit. Succumbs To Igjwie* Sumter, Aug. 7.?Furman Dennis, ten-year-old eon of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Dennis, of Rendbert, Sumter county, died at a local hospital yesterday morning as the result of injuries sustained when he was run over at Kembert early yesterday morning by a car driven, it is alleged, by John Patterson, negro. The little boy is said to have stopped directly in the path of the car, bis attention evidently h*ving been attracted somewhere vis<?, which he seems not to have seen. The car, it is stated, was going at h moderate speed and the affair is regarded as an accident. W*th Wreck Mia.

" . ; f* t )vj ' PO 9735 Ad 744* /k la m motor lubrication *\>fOST motorists realize the importance of i-TA a film of oil between moving parts of metal. Drivers are reasonably careful to maintain this lubrication. But there are times? for instance, after the 'motor has been stand ing idle ? when it has been impossible for several minutes to get a fluid between moving parts. Even the best of the old type oils drain away from cylinder walls and bearings, leav ?__? ing areas which are practically dry. Then . comes the dreaded grinding of metal on metal, which works serious hapn ? and harm that grows more serious each time the ex penenee is repeated. Oyer three years ago the development of a mew "Standard" Motor Oil was begun. A mew principle in lubrication was brought to light. To make assurance doubly sure, "Standard" Motor Oil, ; in which this principle has been embodied, was not put on sale until it had been tested in scores of cars and trucks of the best known manufacturers. Comparative trials were made in all weathers, on all sorts of roads?same cars, same drivers, same routes, again and* again. Lubrication tests showed that "Standard" Motor Oil did not break down under load or high tempera** tares as cozppared with the leading old-style oils. Better piston seal with "Standard" Motor Oil led to an increase of 3% to 10% in power. Hill-climbing tests proved this. Gasoline mileage increased by^gn average of 12%. Oil mileage increased 27% and even 35%. Motors ran cooler. There was less oil leakage. Less carbon formed. Carburetors were adjusted, to leaner mixtures.? - t ~ Solid line shows how ordinary- oil breaks down under Jo. tiding up the temperature of metal jaces. Dotted line shows that new oil withstands much greater load before temperature of machinery rises, and then only slightly. I T^etv principle causes oil to *4stay put" Lubrication experts of the Standard Oil organization have long sought the solution of this problem: How to lubricate, . whereagenuine"fluid film" has been impossible. Or in more simple language: How to provide an oil that will stay put upon a metal surface, and still will not be too] thick nor of too heavy a consistency. TESTS 1 ;;-r made with specific cars before this oil was offered to the public Dodge In an actual 1080 mile road test run from September 24th to October 22nd, 192), using a DodgeTou ring Car^the new "Standard Motor Oil showed a decided saving in both gasoline and oil consumption: 40.9% increase in oil mileage 10% increase in f?as mileage There was also apparent a much smoother operation of the motor, morepowerand less sluggishness _ on the hills. Snick A Buick, in a test of the new "Standard'' Motor Oil fpr carbon deposit, showed astonishing results. When the car was examined before the tests, there were heavy carbon deposits on cylinder heads and pistons. The new "Standard" Motor Oil was then put itr the crank case and the car run 2,969 miles and again examined. Most of tbe carbon bad disappeared ? the slight amount remaining was easily wiped off with a cloth. Ford In a 609 mile aoad test on a 4 Ford Coupe run from September * 24th to October 22nd, 1923, tbe new "Standard" h^otorOil showed a substantial decrease in both oil and gas consumption: 12.8%increase in oil mileage 12.3% increase in gas mileage And the driver could actually feel a difference in the operation of his car?improved pulling, snappier pickup, elimination of ~ the arag which the motor had previously shown on hills and the removal of the carbon which had been in the motor when S the new oil .

The above facts sptah for themselves .. On this page are given resuits of tesffe, which require no comment. Experienced motorists who have tried this new oil have been frankly surprised that any lubricant could bring about so considerable a , change ini the operation of their cars. Many of them tell us they can actually "feel the difference" while driving. I "Standard" Motor Oil is to be found on sale npw at Standard Oil Service Sta tiorts and at dealers. 'X I _ _ . ..
