Dec. 15. —(United Press)' —Mayor John L. Devull issued a proclamination to citizens of Indianapolis last night asking prompt and generous response to the appeal of the Red Cross for funds with which to carry on relief work at the scene of the Francisco mine disaster. Earlier in the day Governor Ed. Jackson had issued a formal proclamation reiterating his former informal plea for support of the Red Cross work. Eugene C. Foster, in charge of Red Cross activities in the mining community submitted a report to state headquarters estimating that 142 persons are in need of assistance as result of the disaster. o AID FOR LOAECOMERS New York.

JONAS TRITCH GETS RECOGNITION IN “THE BALANCE SHEET’’ MAGAZINE

‘ Under the heading. “Who's Who ( Among Business Educators”, in the December number of "The Balance r Sheet”, a magazine for commercial r teachers, appeared an interesting item ! about Jonas C. Tritch, former Decatur, ( ‘ man. who is principal of the Internat tional College, of Fort Wayne. A photo* - graph of Mr. Tritch accompanied the • article, which is reprinted herewith: "J. C. Tritch was born on a farm near Decatur, Indiana, Being born on the farm and in Indiana, he was des- | tlned to become either a writer, pollI tician preacher or teacher, and in due . I time chose the latter profession for . his life work. It is impossible to do f justice to Mr. Tritch in this limited t space because of the size of the sub--1 ject. the bigness of his heart and the i extent to which he has attained suc- . cess in the field of commercial edu- | cation. After graduating from the high .' school at Decatur, Indiana, he entered -1 the Marion Normal College at Marion I Indiana, in 1901.

U M The New (Constant Viscosity) Motor Oil t Developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to solve the problem of dilution of motor oil in the crank case. And it does it. In the past all motor x oils have been compromises. Satisfactory in varying degrees—yes—but still compromises. That’s news! —- • Trouble in cold weather—trouble starting—trouble after a few hundreds miles of motoring—always a little trouble somewhere! In the past, motor oils have had to compromise in order to meet two contradictory demands. They have had to be light to enable the engine to turn over easily in starting—they have had to be heavy to maintain a safe viscosity after a few hundred miles of motoring. They have met neither demand perfectly. Startling! But true. Hundreds of tests have shown that ordinary oil becomes diluted, losing twothirds of its viscosity in the first 150 to 180 miles of travel. Amazing? Yes—but read on. After that viscosity remains fairly constant. An oil light ' enough for easy starting and cold weather lubrication, becomes too thm for safety before the car has gone a hundred miles. A surprise to you, no doubt. The First Motor Oil That is Not a Compromise It has been developed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to meet the new theory of scientific lubrication. It is light enough to insure easy turn over of the engine in starting even in cold weather, and heavy enough to maintain a proper lubricating film over all bearing surfaces. It gives perfect cold weather lubrication and does not wear out. What does this mean to you? It means, that Iso-Vis maintains a viscosity within “the zone of correct lubrication.” Hundreds of tests have proved that an oil, to be within “the zone of correct I lubrication”, must have viscosity of from 200 to 150 Saybolt at 100° F. Iso-Vis is right to start with—right for cold weather—still right after a thousand miles of motoring. A * ’ It has been scientifically developed to meet a new theory of scientific lubrication. It makes no compromise. In cost Iso-Vis is a little higher than ordinary oil—in satisfaction there is no comparison. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is jproud to offer Iso-Vis to its millions of motoring friends in the Middle West. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) recom--1 mends Iso-Vis for use in your car.
