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." .

Vale Wants Better Service.
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.
MINNESOTA POTATO KINGS
MEET TO TALK OF SPUDS
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3. (United
Press) Aristocratic spuds that sell
for $2 and $3 a bushel here now, weve
the subject of much discussion when
the Minnesota Potato Growers asso
ciation went into its second annual
secction at the Minnesota university
farm. Topics of discussion this after
noon were srangoly minus the dollar
mark. Members of the association
enriched by their combination to hold
potatoes for a certain price, created a
stir in the capitol city by their pros
perous appearance today.
GREATEST AUTO SHOW
'TO OPEN ON SATURDAY
New York, J.n. 3. (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.
When our great grand-mothers called them sad irons they
were rightly named. They arc the cast-iron symbol of many
generations of sad ironing days, and are entirely out of place
in our comfortable nuxlcrn households.
So throw them away and get a
G-E Electric Flatiron
ill enable you to do a

wasting of heat, no

clothes, no tiring
of the body and

the mind. We
