For just ten cents you can feed the hungry stomach of such a child on Chris; mas Pay. For $1.00 you can care for it for the whole of the Christmas month. And if you can dig down in your Christmas Docket- book and full out $36.50 all in one lump, you can be godparents to a little boy or girl for a whole year being put in touch with it through correspondence. What kind of a child? Well, what do you think about a little ten-year- old boy who for three years worked every day from sunup to sundown, saw ing up branches of trees for fuel? He must support one crippled leg with a huge stone while he worked. One end of a huge cross-cut saw was pressed against his tiny chest, the other braced against the ground, as with outstretched arms he drew to ward h'm the brancnes which were to ma'.e fuel and earn 40 cents a week for himself and an old grand father. Or how about a little six.year-old girl who, when the Germans carried away every boy baby from her town, was thrown to the pavement by a burly German w hen she proved to be a girl? She is permanently crippled. Her mother was taken away by the Germans, her father was killed in the war. These are just two of the 3,000, 000 French orphans of the war. They are being taken care of now, but thousands of others are without help or friendship. All are father less, many have lost their mothers, either taken away by the Germans or dead from exposure, privations, or in the bombardments. The Fa therless children of France, an Amer ican organization co-operating with a similar one in France of which Mar shal Joffre is the head, is trying to furnish American aid to the eixtent of ten cents a day per child, to add to the tiny pension the French Gov ernment has been able to grant or phans of the war. Every cent con. tributed for a child goes directly to it. Xot one penny is used either in this country or in France for any other purpose; the expenses of the work are borne by generous friends. 1 Can t you add one of these chil dren to your Christmas list? Not only the money but your friendship will mean to such a child a new be lief in the Providence of God, a new love and thankfulness, and will help to wipe out the memories of horror and suffering and the un thinkable atrocities which these children, have witnessed.

Parker System have the largest dental practice in the world. There are twenty-four com plete offices, which arc fully equipped with appliances and sup- l.ltae tf H aItI tf fin work at moderate prices and with no fear of pain. Out-of-town patients are given especial attention, so that fewer visits are required to have dental work fully completed. This is very important to people who want to return home as soon as possible. Nothing but fine work is done, but the prices are moderate, never theless, for the E. R. Parker System saves a lot of money buying supplies for twenty-four offices and in many other ways, and this saving is shared with patients. Examinations and advice are free. There is tn E. R.

This advance is due to the fact that the Oregon state law specifies that gasoline shall be of 56 degrees gravity, Baume test, to be saleable in the state, which law necessitates our refining a special gasoline for sale in Oregon. In refining this spec ial gasoline a lower yield is secured from the crude oil than in refining our regular gasoline, with consequent increase in the cost of the special gasoline. The advance of iy2 cents a gallon in the price does not fully represent the addi tional cost to us of manufacturing the special gasoline. At the same time, the higher price of the special gasoline does not secure for the user any greater value than is given in our regular gasoline. The 56-degree gravity gasoline that we must specially refine and furnish in Ore gon is a less efficient gasoline than that regularly produced by this Company and sold in Washington, California and elsewhere. Our regular gasoline comes within the Uni ted States Government Standard Specifications. It is refined to a set specification of a chain of boiling points determined by our experts as being that which will give the maximum of power and mileage consistent with due regard to gasoline conservation and the maintenance of reasonable prices to the consumer. Gravity a False Test of Gasoline Value Gasoline is regularly refined by us with regard to its range of boiling points the only true measure of gasoline value. The Oregon State law establishes a gravity standard for gasoline, which is not indicative of gasoline quality. That "the gravity test is of little or no value in de termining the quality of gasoline" was stated by The United States Government's Committee on Standardization of Petroleum Specifications in its report to the Government. Later the Uni ted States Government adopted standards for gasoline based on boiling points. Boiling Points Are the Only True Measure of Gasoline Value Boiling points determine the vaporizing and combustive, or power, qualities of gasoline. They are the only true measure of gasoline value. The gravity test simply compares the density of the liquid gasoline with the density of water at sea level. It can tell nothing about the vaporiz ing and cumbustive, or power, values of gasoline. Only the range of boiling points can do that. The U. S. Government Stand ard Specifications for Gasoline The United States Government standard spec ifications for gasoline are based on boiling points -not gravity. Drafted as they were by impartial Government experts, they are generally consid ered, in the light of conditions today, as the most practical standard for gasoline. They insure an efficient and satisfactory gasoline and at the same time have due regard for the best utiliza tion of our petroleum resources, and the main tenance of reasonable prices to the consumer. The Gasoline Problem The demand for gasoline is increasing faster than the supply. To hold down the increasing disproportion between the demand and the sup ply, it is important that every possible drop of gasoline be extracted from the crude oil refined, At the same time the producers must continue their constant search for new sources of crude oil supply, and the automotive engineers must continue their efforts to get more power and mileage out of the gasoline consumed. The Oregon State Law Defeats Conservation The Oregon State law, by specifying a grav ity standard for gasoline, limits the possible ex traction of gasoline from the crude oil and thus operates directly against gasoline conservation, making less plentiful and more costly the supply.
