51,000 MILES WITHOUT DECARBONISING!
A De Haviland GIPSY Engine fitted to a Moth Light Aero- plane soaled by Air Ministry Inspectors covered 51,000 miles on CASTROL XXL without decarbonisation, and at the conclusion of the test in no placo did the carbon deposit exceed 12 thousandths of an inch in thickness!

30,000 MILES WITHOUT DECARBONISING!
An INVICTA Car covered 30,000 miles in less than 20,000 minutes on CASTRUI, XXL without decarbonisation, under the Official Observation of the Boyal Automobile Club, gaining the Dewar Trophy for the best performance of 1929.

cruel.
The third went bail for her. When she was committed for trial on charges of bigamy, the prosecuting solicitor, Mr. Gwyn Thomas, remarked, "This sort of thing might well have happened in Russia. She is not satisfied with one husband; she must have three."
On the charge sheet the woman was described as Melvina Curtis, aged 46, of Dewstow street, New- port.
"She Asked Me." James Curtis, a fruiterer, of St. Mary-street, Weymouth, said he' married her at Weymouth Re- gistry Office in July 1907, and she left him in August 1915, with their only child, a daughter.
Peter Christophoron, a 'Greck, said Mrs. Curtis, who said she was a widow, kept a greengrocery shop in Newport.
The Magistrate's Clerk: Did you ask her to marry you? Ne. She asked me.
"She told me her husband died at the front in 1914," continued the man, "and we were married at Newport registry office in October 1915. There were four children, three girls and one boy. In August 1929, when he spoke to her regarding her association with a neighbour, she replied, "I ám a free woman. When I married you my husband was alive, but he died in 1928."
Mrs. Curtis: He pestered me to marry him because he did not want to be sent out of the country be- cause the war was on.
Christophoren retorted, "She in- vited me to tea. I had some fruit) and she proposed to me. I didn't want to marry her."
Mrs. Curtis: I don't care what happens to me so long as I am out of the hands of that octopus--the Greek."
George Batson stated that the woman told him she was not marri- ed to the Greek, and he married her at Cardiff in October last year. Mrs. Curtis pleaded not guilty to the charge of bigamously marrying the Greek..
