j.ei ..,'.; if n happens to be a little
fl ili! !:ose eyes are big and lone
some, and whose little body looks
if it had been hungry for a good long
time.
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.

Largest
Dental Practice
in the World
Registered Dentists using the
E. R. 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. Parker
System office at

Advance in the Price
of Gasoline
The price of Red Crown gasoline was advanced ll2 cents a gallon on Wednes
day, December 17, 1919.
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.
