Fifteen states and Canada are represented by the 26 students taking the course, at the present time. G. A. Seagrave. of Cxbridge, Mass., is in attendance upon instructions from the district vocational office of the United States government at Worcester, Mass. Numbered in the last class were students from England and France. Six or eight courses are held each winter and an average of 26 men from all parts of the country attend each separate session. The present tendency of i ho j autoinobil e buying public seems i to be toward the lighter cars. ' Fays O. B. Gingrich of the Gin- j ulch Motor & Tire company. The increased costs of operation , through the purchase of gasoline, j tires ami oil. coupled with the ! greater depreciation on the higher' I'tic'd and heavier cars has had! the effect of influencing the auto- mobile pur-chaser to procure some- thing whiefe will not only give the 1 maximum mileage on gas, oil and j tires, but will also have less de-I preciaMon when he go s to mak-j a trade in a year or two. I It cannot he denied that the average owner dsires to trade a? j soon as his car loses its original ' finish and lustre which, in most instances, extends over a t)?riod ' not exceeding two years. Records r ou!d indicate that &0 per cent of the cars sold are on trades for fars that have been in oneration not exceeding two years; also. that 90 per cent of all cars sold are rats which weigh Jess than 0ft pounds. This is indicated in our own business by the fact that the greatest nercentaee of cars old by us has been our Maxwell line, and next the Hupmobile. which, in economy of operation and weight, is next to the lighter car. the Maxwell, of our lines. We find that the desire of the auto mobile purchaser today is for a car that will average from IS to 24 miles on a gallon of gasoline. 000 miles on a set of tires, and a depreciation annually from $l-r0 up. .NOTICE TO CO.N'TICACTOltS Oregon Stall- ll-itl-I ai in. ullage American Machines Are Admired by Englishmen There are 140 makes of motor cycles represented in the Brit,ish Isles, among them being two prominent American Makes, the Harley-Davidson and the Indian, both of which 'were creditably rep resented at the Big Olympia show at Londan.

With a single ! exception, the Rolfes made no i great noise in the world, but with that one exception probably, every schoolboy, certainly every schoolgirl is familiar. It was John or Thomas; there is some doubt about the Christian name a cadet of the house, who distinguished himself by marry ing the beautiful Princess Poca hontas, daughter of the powerful King Powhatan, the great redskin chief of Virginia, whose relations with the English settlers were not always harmonious. The young lady appears to have had a liking for the intruding palefaces, for she befriended Henry Spelman. also a Norfolk man, and 'he re doubtable Capt. John Smith, like wise an East Anglian, ha left it on record that the "blessed Po cahontas." as he called her, 'oft saved my life." She is said to have been in lov with Captain Smith, but it was Rolfe whom she married in 1613. when she was 19. He brought her. to England somewhat later, hut our climate killed her after three years of marriage, and she was buried at C.ravesend. where she died on the eve of her return to America. They had an only daughter, who has left many de scendants in America and some in Entrland. Hoacham Hall is a vry early Georgian hous". although it is likely enough that it may preserve vestiges of an earlier building. Heacham. which is now the prop erty of C. E. Strachan. has an prea of 1 750 acres and possesses rotable sporting amenities. The house itself is a typical Georgian place of the less splendid and more comfortablie type, with many paneled rooms and some fine Adam mantelpieces. From th3 field.
