- Bank Robbers of Today
'"' No longer need the movies show pictures of holdup men
on horseback robbing a bank. Them days are gone for
ever. Right down in Portland our own metropolis the
automobile bandit is getting in his. work holding up the
blinks as he comes to them. ,
,Y. . Thus the gasoline engine, has brought its thorns as
well as its roses, and soon we may expect to sec an air
plane land at a safe distance, an automobile drive up to
it with a bank's money and the bandits with a whirr of
the big paddle sail off to some other land. It'sa great
age and she has just started. Faster and faster yet we
will go and no one dare guess the limit.

I j . Wheeler, on the other hand, is a radical of tho pro-
s pounced type. Ho has rode the wave during Montana's
j Shard times and has acquired political prominence sufficient
i to send him to the senate, but ho is not a man to be cle-
jvated any higher!
Darrow, the Invincible
Clarence Darrow, tho great attorney, instead of making
a fight in the courts for Loeb and Leopold who killed the
little Franks boy in Chicago, quietly said to tho court,
f'my clients are guilty and we ask no acquittal, wo will
tmake no fight for acquittal."
1 But the resourceful Darrow thought deeply when he
gave such advice, lie knew it was impossible to clear
.these two young men except possibly on a technicality
Svhich public sentiment would not' accept. Therefore he
took the other course, and now will very likely appear be
fore the court before sentence, is passed to show that the
!two rich yo.ung murderers weia mentally unsound and
therefore should be detained in an asylum rather than
Jput to death to pay for their crime.

Keeping to Right Side
Back in the old days when motor chivalry and min lrKv
were part of the unwritten code it would not have been
necessary to call the attention of "road hogs" to their
Annoying and unlawful practices. Today it is. Every holi
day and every week end emphasizes the need for some
clrohg-nrm squad to keep on the right side of tho highways
tho thoughtless and deliberate driver who regards the en
tire road as his.
There is a species of mania, akin lo thai, of speeding.
Hint prompts some drivers to "hog" the road in such
laahlun that the lawlully regulated vehicle in llie
(.annot possibly pass. This privilege is guaiaiiteet
(railing car by law and the refusal lo make wav for
a violation of the motor statutes.
V Drivers of courtesy need only a horn toot to make way
for the car behind. The other style of driver needs tht
tVaffic cop and the sooner the cop gets into action tin
more regular will driving become.

THERE isan aristocracy of products as well as an aristocracy of
brains and culture. -
Su h products arc those which arc developed to the hishc.-.l point
orediciency, quality or value of whatever kind they arc supposed
to possess.
Union Gr.-Joline, designed tonakc fine motorcars givqlhcir best
performance to their owners, is of this class r.nong fuels.
The care, skill, experience, and facilities we bring to bear on i
production are simply the best we can arrange for, or purchase or
create. - ,
There arc certain features that it offers. -
Union Gasoline lia.i the quality of non-flctoimlum which means the
elimination of "knocking" on hills, and in slow, heavy pulls, quicker
acceleration, and a smoother, more vibrationlcss speed.
The cost of Union, regardless of its qualities, is no mure lhan
that or other good gasolines.
, All, therefore, can take advantage of it.
