" '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. .
"The General products -that are
brought Into this section come largely
fro mthe refinery ideated at Vernon,
California. Another topping plant is
located at Lebec, California."

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
WHEN THIS SPEAKER
RETURNS TO CALIF:?
CHICAGO, June 18. (A. P.) Many
persons judge organs. 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

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

vicinity under the guise of offering
them a wonderful concert but really
to interest them In a cemetery."

"When the Wash Lady Comes Who
Would Call THIS a Day Off?
Xo woman, certainly, would call it "a day off"
when she lias tho washing done in her own home.
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.
