Nutting's ex- peditioners, when numerous Hawk- eys savants toured New Zealand. Only a few of the kiwis are now to be founJ, and they are in the isolated portions of that country. To avert extinction, the government is protecting the rare species. It was in a park in New Zealand, that Prof. Stcner viewed ihe kiwi.

Tailless: Nearly Wingless "One is at once struck by the strange appearance of this tailless and all bat wingless creature. It is about the size of a domestic fowl; it has a rounded and compact body; the neck is short, but the bill is long and slender; the legs are short and powerful.

Add to this the much reduce! totally useless as an organ of flight, and the body covering of lone, hair-like feathers of a trownish or grayish-brown cast and the appearance of this singular bird is rendered still more unbird- I like. Indeed, the Xorth Island kiwi can scarcely be considered beautiful. "When handled, our zoological park kiwi showed resentment by hissing and kicking--not backward so much as forwarl--and with sufficient force to cut one's flesh deep- ly.

It would tell you that a motor can run smoothly only when the frictional parts are amply protected by a cushion of good lubricating oil, thus permitting free, easy, noiseless action. -i It would tell you that the wrong oil almost invariably causes excessive carbon, loss of power, transmission troubles, fouled spark plugs, and overheating. The right oil for your car--the grade of Polarine indicated in the chart--means minimized reDairs, fewer renewals of parts, greater flexibility, and more power.

Polarine is made in five grades. The one specified in the chart is the correct grade for your car and will insure perfect lubrication. Polarine is of the right viscosity to maintain a perfect film under the extreme of working conditions. This means assured compression and maximum power. Polarine lubricates thoroughly every frictional surface and will not break down.

It seals your pistons against low of power. The essence of true economy is to drain your crank case every 500 miles and fill up with the correct grade of Polarine.
