NO MIXTURES FOR ROAD RACERS "All but three of the sixteen con testants in the recent Douglas to Phoenix road race took particular puins to secure straight-distilled, all refinery gasoline, and the winners of first, second and third places were among the wise thirteen," said C. H. Hamilton, District Sales Manager of the Standard Oil Company, yesterday, while discussing the ever-present sub ject of pure gasoline. "The lesson to be drawn from this ! incident by motorists, is the fact that practically all of the contestants care fully avoided mixtures and doped gas. "A racing driver is out to win. He ir wise to all the tricks that make victory more certain, and he knows that mixtures and doped gas are un reliable, causing loss of power and carburetor difficulties. They all spoke of these points before the race, and I know what kind of fuel they chose because they filled with our Red Crown gasoline. v "The winner, C. L. Cord, driving a Paige, was frank enough to give most of the credit for his victory to the uniform power he obtained from our gasoline." . ; V - ""!'. -' ' idiiililplta INTUIT jfo Banished I" v! y inose om-iasnionea nntirnns ot yours w el lsar If -... rr-r !

Salem, Jan. 3. (Special) Citi zens of Vale have presented a petition asking the public service commission to restrain the Oregon Short Line railroad from putting into effect its order to discontinue on Saturday, De cember 23, the morning and evening trains and also the Sunday train from that point. It is alleged the discontin uance of these trains will work a hardship on the town, and compel the people to stop over night nnd Sunday at a town 16 miles away. This condition has been caused by the railroad extending its line to Crane, about 150 miles farther south than Vale. The train schedule that is now in effect is suited to the other towns on the line but is bad for Vale. F. H. Knickerbocker, of the O. S. L., declares that the people of Vale insist on a service that is entirely unprofit able for the railroad. A hearing is asked as it is stated the train could not earn more than 10c or 15c a train mile. The new schedule will remain in effect until the commission changes it.

(United Press) The greatest auto show in the world according to all advance indications, will open Saturday in Grand Central Palace, New York, to continue ono week. While monster exhibitions of auto mobiles and accessories were held in London, Berlin and Paris before the war, it is the opinion everywhere that the forthcoming show will eclipse any thing the world ever has seen. It certainly will 'be more of an American show than any other ever held, for American manufacturers will be rep (esented almost solely. The show will be the seventeenth annual exhibition to be held under'ths auspices of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Inc. Exhibitors will include besides those who make automobiles from the tires to the tops, the small accessory man ufacturer, and the sideline salesman. There will be many new cars on ex-, hibition, but the main group will in-1 elude products of those manufactur ers whose plants have been the basis of the growth of the automobile industry. Every one of the sixteen types of bodies, and every price at which cars can 'be obtained will be represented. There are few changes in body de sign, the main upsets being in motor construction. Twelves, eiirhts. sixes. 'and fours, representing the various J styles of motor construction, will be .present in profusion to cough and splutter their merits to the visitors. Sixteen types of bodies, designated as roadsters, coupelet, coupe, convert ible coupe, cloverleaf, touring car, salon touring car, convertible touring car, sedan, convertible sedan, open sedan, limousine, open '.i mousine. berline, brougham and lan- ' daulet, will be on display. I Devices and accessories will be gi" 'en space on the second floor of the palace. More than 225 exhibitors of this class of automobile products will have booths. Those old-fashioned flatirons of yours they are a tiresome pair. It's bad enough to have only one of Ihem around, but you have to have two one heating while the other is cooling off, otherwise you would never get through with your ironing.

They arc the cast-iron symbol of many generations of sad ironing days, and are entirely out of place in our comfortable nuxlcrn households.
