If you aspire te become a collector of genuine arrlqne furniture you should know tbe answer to the question. The circular saw was In­ vented as far beck as the year 1771. Therefore, no piece of Seventeenth century furniture should bear 11»« loll tale curved lines that a bent tooth in a circular saw mate««. The maker of false aatique furniture may copy the form of the original piece with com­ parative ease, but ho has difflcnlty tn giving it the appearance of geniila« age. Poring wormholes Is aow re partied as deageroas: other methods of aging are preferred.

Tbe United State» will oontiane to build vessels in the fu­ ture. As old ships become antiquat­ ed new ones must take thetr plaees. What could be more fitting than that the next one built, per'iaps speediest and most powerful In world, should bear the name of doughty old vessel which sped her way to the conflict? And what ccrald better perpetuate the name of the great state in which we live? It would be a fitting memorial for both. THE OLD OREGON Tbe old battleship Oregon, the vet­ eran of the Spanish War days, is tbe center of much discuseion at the present ttme. The United States government has been informed that this state cannot accept tbe old ves­ sel under tbe present conditions, on account of the cost. On the other hand there is a wide sentiment tn favor of retaining the ship on ac­ count of her historic dash around the Horn to get to the scene of fight­ ing. That great dash is still envis­ ioned in the minds of the American youth as one prompted by patriotism which demanded that the ship and her men be on band when the con- flict started. The cost of maintaining the ship as a relic would be excessive, This statement is vouched for by those who have investigated the expense at moving tbe vessel to Portland from Bremerton and repairing it to stand the ravages of years of idleness.

Inasmuch as the voter» of San Fraaeisco have »oae on record many timss in the peat la favor ot rsssld- pal ownership of utilities, the advo- ca4— of ptacl»» the city in the pow­ er business believe the issue will be carried easily. At the same time it Is admitted there will bo a pow»rf»i campaign against the city entering j the electrical power field. No esti­ mate has been made yet as to the amount of bonds that will be sec— sary to equip the city to enter the ‘ power field. A preliminary ropaH! by the city engineer tentatively fixed the cost at *45,000.000, but revised estimates may lower that figire. The . city will be one of its owa lending customers, as It low bays the elec­ trical energy with which te operate its street ear lines.

The gasoline tat does away with the old horsepower motor tax. Hereafter only a *3 flat regis­ tration fee will be charged for his license. All of the stats'« shure of thd tax is to be used In repair«, re­ surfacing and maintenance of road«. No new construction Is to be under­ taken from the funds thus collected. EXCEPTIONAL RIDING COMFORT The new Dodge Brothers Touring Car is exceptionally comfortable to ride in; it is good looking; and It incorporates many important refinements of detail. The body is longer and tower, eliminating aide sway, affording more leg room, and enhancing the beauty of the lines. Deeper seat», long underslung rear springs find longer front springs, give ample assur­ ance that cross country touring can be enjoyed without weariness or fatigue. Yet with these Improvements, and many other», it is still fundamentally the same etr--built on the seme chassis and powered by the tame sturdy engine. Riley-Meier Motor Co Automobile engineers estimate that the average motorist under the now law will pay a tax of about *13.34 per annum. They estimate that Mr. “Average" Motorist uses his car to travel approximately 6,300 miles a year, using 51? gallons of "gas," or an average of 12 miles to the gallon. Paying two cents per gallon additional for thia gasoline will cost him *10.14, and his regis­ tration fee will bring the total to *13.84. Tbe burden of the collection at the tax fallo »pen tbe distributor, who is responsible for its payment by tbe purchaser of gasoline. He is required by law to keep books on his transactions and to turn over to the state the collected tax.
