Giant Tankers in 'General" Service - i . "I a. - .;:. .;'..;.;... J . .... - " 'Vorba Linda nnd "Llebre' are the two largest tankers in the serv ice of the General Petroleum corpora tion at the present time," states H. G. Bowman, manager. General Pe troleum corporation (Oregon ) . He states that these two vessels each have a capacity of 75,000 barrels. Already the General Petroleum cor poration has ten vessels of Its own In operation, and one that will be added early this fall. , In addition It has a number of ships under chnrter. "The 'Lio' which will be added to tho fleet in August, Is now being con verted from steam' turbine equipment to diesel engines," he states; ."It Is one of the largest vessels ever -con verted to the diesel direct drive type In tho United States and the . first conversion on the Pacific coast. The engines will be 33 feet high and 48 feet long. The deadweight tonnage is 10,240 tons, her length 430 feet, beam 59 feet, and depth 33 feet 3 inches. Her capacity wilt be approxi mately 85.000 barrels. "The conversion of the tanker Is planned to make for cheaper trans portation. With her steam turbines she consumed 28 tons of fuel per day, with a speed of 10 knots per hour, and it is estimated that after conver sion she will use but 12 tons of fuel and another knot will be added to her speed. ' "Tho tanker fleet Is but one of the transportation , departments of the General Petroleum corporation that Is rapidly expanding. Tan ktrucks are constantly being added at the vari ous distributing centers, as the popu lare General gasoline is given a wider distribution. .

In m'lr-confl-deiu ignorance, imagining the arts hold no mysteries for them. S. W. Williams of Los Angeles, ful., told the fourth general conference of the American Guild of Organists here to day. "In our city," he continued, "there Is an organ which Is widely advertised as the 'mightiest in the world.' having 'upwards of ten thousand pipes,' and 'to be heard miles,' fortunately the last statement Is as inaccurate as the former. The organ has, I understand eighteen sets of pipes divide eigh teen by upwards of ten thousands and you have tho answer per stop. 'Hooray for our climate and what it does for some of us! "A largo, number of people really believe that it is a noteworthy and very large organ. The fact Is that it Is a very ordinary moving picture or gan, designed to draw people to the vicinity under the guise of offering them a wonderful concert but really to interest them In a cemetery."

There's getting the soap and the blueing and the starch ready; there's the necessary watching to see that everything is done right; and there's the picking up after the "working guest." Sometimes this has happened to every woman when the clothes are ready the laundress fails to show up. A telephone call..."! got the misery, and can't come today "...and so the washing is still to he done. Sometimes, too, there's. not even the phone call. Hundreds of women, though, have found that the only way to rid themselves of the burden of "washday" is to turn everything over to us. And all YOU need to do to get this day off is to call upon us.
