A WARNING 100 YEARS OLD
An excellent textbook for anyone puzzled by .the trarfc
, iurmoil which sweeps Europe these days might be Cnrlyle's
"French Revolution." To be sure, Carlyle wrote it eome-
thincr like 100 years aero. But it isn t out of date, even so,
For the same .lesson which' he drew from his study of the
French Revolution can be drawn from the confused and
bloody mens in Europe today.
It shows that if men get their affairs into a hopelessly
.unsound and unjust tangle, and fail to muster the intelli
gence and the unselfishness necessary to straighten them
.out, forces beyond human control eventually will break loose
in a kind of explosion, an explosion which destroys good and
bad things alike and visits catastrophe upon saint as well as
upon sinner.
' All of this, somehow, seems to apply, with terrible force to the upheaval
.which today rends Europe. These riots In France and Austria, these rumors
of war and revolution, this massing of troops along boundary lines they
didn't happen Just because men suddenly got perverse and Irritable over
nothing. They came. Just as the French Revolution came, because human
affairs had got Into a dreadful mess, and because great mosses of people
became convinced that nothing but violence ever would straighten them
out.
. The supremo Xoily of the World war, the almost equal folly of the peace
treaties, the stubborn Inability of men In high places to see that repression
,and Injustice never can pave the way for anything but trouble these are
the direct and logical causes of the present disasters. There still Is time
to avoid the wornt consequences. Treaty .revisions, removal of the artifi
cial economic barriers which condemn men to starvation In the midst of
plenty, liquidation of oppressive dictatorships and a rearrangement along
t equitable llnea of national boundaries, would make possible a peaceable
solution of Europe's troubles. But If the rulers of -Europe lack the cour
age and the vision to apply such measures, one only can remember Carlyle "s
,i warning.

Ted OUbort. of Pentlleton, ir; ivjxct
ed business her yesterday.
To the memory of our friend
James Hoatson :
- tie was a man of sterling quality,
high character and excellent prin
ciples, absolutely honest, honest with
himself so that he could not be false
to othera.
He was a man without guile or
subterfuge, sound and true In every
way, the most tolerant of men, never
speaking a harsh or derogatory word
of anyone, but freely condoned and
overlooked the faults and frailties In
others.
He possessed a wonderfully well bal
anced mind. Independently clear-
sighted and placidly philosophic, se
curely grounded in his own precepts
and Ideals.
Although clearly Intelligent above
most, he was always unassuming, but
nsver-the-less .ready at all times to
speak out for what he believed In and
took an active part in all matters of
public and community Interests.
No matter now he may have been
suffering from Illness. or troubles, no
one ever heard him complain, but
Instead he always greeted his friends
and acquaintances with a glad smile
and some cheering words.
On the whole he lived a life well
worth emulating by any one and was
liked and respected by all who knew
him.
He will be sorely missed and deenlv
mourned by the people in Cove, who
reel nis departure as a real loss to
the community.
Therefor. I humbly tender mv nin.
cere homage and deep-felt admiration
ror me cnaracter and personality, to
bis memory.

Launching- of Ciencral Tt'troleum
Corporation's 1934 sale3 campaign
-yesterday (ji conjunction with thu
introduction of its new product,
General Mobilgas, brings to light
the' curious fact that for the tirst
-time en record n gallon of gasoline
has been shipped from New York
to Los Angeles as closely pruardc-d
as though it were gold, platinum or
precious stones. In fact Railway
Express Agency, in charge oi it,
classed it under tho heading of 1-irge
value shipments, bullion, etc. Vigi
lance was not relaxed even when il
reached the west coast, for there it
was transported by armored car to
General Petroleum headquarters.
The shipment arrived in Los
Angeles shortly nftor tho famous
Torture Test cars which have been
familiar on the Pacific Coast for
several weeks past. Those car3 had
just completed a transcontinental
run-without radiators, the last of a
long"tferio3 of grind irtfr tests made
over the past thrco years which "has
Tesulted'in the discovery of a avcret
formula from which had been pro
duced tho treasured gallon of gaso
line. It had been sent from the
New York headquarters of the So-conv-Vacuum
Company, of which
Genori'.l ii the Pacific Coast affili
ate, nn l no chnncer were allowed
to bo taU"n on -either the formula or
ths new fuel sample going astray.
Tells Aims
Tho entire episode, as well iUis
yesterday'.; introduction of General
Mobilj;a:i to the Pacific Coast mo
torist, was the oulf.Towth of one of
tha most interertin;: stories in: the
history of the p-trrbum industry,
aec;ir;ity.T to A. II. DcFricst. vice
president in charge of ?aies for
General Petroleum Corporation.
'Some years nrro," h? raid, "Gen
eral scientists, tothc with those
of the entire Kocony group, decided
to do what had never been done be
fore, produce a perfect gasoline;
one that would give utmost power,
mileage, acceleration, freedom from
knock and vapor lock under all cli
matic and atmospheric conditions.
All ,gasoline3 had some of these
qualities; none had all, of them.
Drastic Tests
"Tist3 never previously at
tempted were decided upon. The
entire North American continent
was chosen as a laboratory. The
scientists' idea was to literally tor
turo test gasolines, break them
down and show up their weaknesses
under climatic and driving ex
tremes. So cars were equipped
with caterpillar treads and sent in
to tho arctic snows of Moose Fac
tory, northern Canada, where an
automobile had never been before.
Others were sent south through
mud; mow and sleet to the tropic
heat" of southern Meiico.' tstill '
others went to Death Valley, 300
feet below sea level, where in al
most unbearable temperatures they
travelled the burning sands night
and day, often without radiators.
After that the Death Valley cars
were driven from America's lowest
point to its highest, up the slopes
of Mount Whitney to an altitude
never before reached by automo
biles. And finally two cars were
driven from New York to Los Ange
les and up and down tho Pacific
Coast without radiators or cooling
system 3.'
Out of these tests, DcFrieBt de
clared, has come General Mobilgas,
a motor fuel which, judging by the
fir3t few days sales, General of
ficials anticipate will result in the
heaviest increase in business in any
year of the Company's history.
Its refraction, and a motion picture
projection room for the enlargement
and study .of microscopic views of
living matter. The curriculum of the
university will include courses of on
tology, biology, chsmlstry, physics,
harmonics of music. Ancient and
medieval philosophy and modern
metaphysics.
The communication to Mrs. Tull
carried with it her appointment as
district registrar and the right of pre
liminary enrollment of students,
pending their matriculation.
