the courses are to.be continued

W. O. Beattie, director of the Sa

The registration was so low for
the term ending this week that
there seems little Justification in
continuing the classes unless
more Interest Is evidenced, ac
cording to Beattie. While the di
vision does not plan to make any
money on the course. It does feel
that fees should approximate the
running expenses, and this was
not nearly done tn the past term.

Miss Margaret Mc Alpine, one of
the Marion county child health
demonstration nurses, was tho
envy of all the employes (not
even, the men excepted) of the
demonstration yesterday. And all
because she brought for Inspection
of her fellow workers a footstool
which the pupils of the Falrriew
school made and presented to her
for Christmas. Miss MeAlplne vis

that none of the boys or girls are

automotive engineer will tell you. And
Gasco, containing precious benzol,
gives you an extra pound of fuel in
every two gallons you buy!
Benzol is a wonderful motor fuel
in itself. It stops high -compression
knocks, smooths theoperation of any
motor, makes any motor run more
economically. With benzol is blended
high-test "dry" gas to give Gasco
quicker starting, to prevent oU dilution
to add "flash" and speed. Here, at last
is a de luxe fuel that every car, low-o?
high-compreion, can prolitably use.
