Boy Goes To Paris On A Nickel; Stays To See All The Sights

New York, July 6 —(UP) —Herbert Avram. the Brooklyn boy who started for Paris with a nickel to see Lindbergh, made the trip successfully, though he arrived after the flyer had started for America. But the officials who calculated on sending Herbert right home on the next boat, also missed one guess. Herbert is still in Paris, or was at the latest woid. He may change his mind any moment and v.sit some other tectlon of the world. On June 2 Herbert, a 14-yoar-old DeWitt Clinton High school boy. asked a tn c.im.in on the Flench line pier to hold his books a little while The truckman phoned the Avram homo the next dav and sr-id he was still holding the books nnd what would he do with them So Herbert's father, Morris Avram, whose office is at 25 li.oad Street, her! a hunch to call up the French line and ask if any boys had sailed on the La Sovie which went out the day before. Two days later they sent word io dad that the boy was on the boat bound to see his flying hero in Paris. So dad said: “Bring him back on the return trip and make him work his way. Give him the hardest work you can find". That ought to teach him a lesson, dad said, that he would never forget. But when the La Savoie got to Havre the captain was "easy" and he let Herbert gc ashore to see if the earth felt tmv different in France than in Brooklyn. Later on Herbert called on his twc sisters who are attending school in Paris —muc.i io their surprise.

A Thousand MilesTwo Thousand Miles —Without Draining! I I ■ i Motorists everywhere in the Middle West are running up records with IsoVis. Thousands of them are writing in surprise and appreci'tion to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to tell the gc jd news of Iso=Vis performance. One motorist calls Is3=Vis a “peace of mind” motor oil. It is a peaceful fe.ing to know that the motor is perfectly protected by an oil which maintains a practically constant viscosity —that will stay on the job from start to finish—preventing wear and tear in the engine—preventing trouble — making every mile of motoring smooth! Iso=Vis — the constant viscosity motor oil —gives you that certain knowledge. Iso=Vis is made in different grades —to meet the requirements of every type of engine. Use the grade recommended for your car. Under normal operating conditions the oil level should be checked every 100 miles. Keep the crankcase at least three-quarters full. If this precaution is taken, a complete draining and flushing of the motor oil once each 1000 miles is all that is necessary. With new cars equipped with effective oil filtering devices, draining once each 2000 miles or more is sufficient! Iso=Vis costs more per quart but motorists have found that it costs less per mile. It lasts longer and wears better! Taxi companies have found that by using Iso=Vis they are able to reduce repair bills and to cut the cost of lubrication. You’ll appreciate the efficiency of Iso=Vis (30c per quart). Try it once — and motoring will hold new pleasures. Iso Vis “F” for Fords.

Tractor Acts Almost Like Enraged Animal Evansville, Ind.. July 6 — (IIP) — How a tractor became almost like an enraged animal, was discribed here today by Alvin Buttery, 25, farmer, of near Griffin, Indlunna, who Is at a hos pita) here suffering from injuries inflicted by the ton and a half machine "It wan as If a monster machine had brains and was trying to kill me," Buttery declared. “1 was hitching a gang plow to the tractor," he continued, “not thinking of any trouble because the transmission of the tractor had been out of order. I must have jarred the machine into gear, and when it started 1 fell under the wheels." The wheels, crushing the lower part of his body, broke a vertebra and paralyzed his legs. "In a minute the tractor circled the field and came toward me again. I could not move an inch. It passed over my legs again. Again and again it circled past. Sometimes I could have touched it. 1 could only watch it and think of one thing—if a rut or a clod turned the wheels a fraction of an inch the wrong way. Buttery was rescued after two hours by a fellow worker, after he bad torn off a slit sleeve and waved it as a signal.
