( It is tho hour of tho aperitif. '! At tho terrace of a largo cafe' on the Boulevard do Courcclles,' ft Blight, unassuming old man Is tacking between chairs and tables to tho very edge of the sidewalk, filled with noisy but slow drinkers. Finally, he settles into an unob triifdvo seat. No ono pays the slightest atten tion to him, yet tweniy-flvc years Ago, this man's appearance on tho boulevards would have created a riot. Cabinets tumbled, erstwhile friends fought duels, homos wcro wrecked and oven tho republican structure of France was shaken at mention of the little old man's name... Sipping his strawberry flavored water unrecognized, unnoticed, is former Caplaln Alfred Itroyfus of Parte, Rcnnes and Devil s Island. Charges of high treason, It was. Led by the "Tiger," Clomcnccau, then a newspaper owner, half of Franco clamored for rovlslon of the sentence which had sent the former army officer to Devil's Is land for life. The other half of France opposed revision.. ; "Colonel Drcyful, ono word, please!" tho correspondent calls out as ho follows the abstemious little man whose exit from tho crowded terrace has been hs in conspicuous as his entrance. (Drey fus was rehabilitated, served in tho French army throughout ' tho war and retired with tho rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.) Not a muscle moved In tho wrin kled face that turned upon tho Ktranger and a voico devoid of the slightest intonation of annoyance, or any other emotion, said - when the correspondent-, explained, his mission, how did tho colonel spend his time, what were his hobbies and his work: l "I am a private citizen and as such entitled to privacy. I should appreciate if you would respect It." Droyfus and tho correspondent,! exchanging' . not another word,! walked about a hundred yards down a side street. There11 the col- one! saluted, a very civilian salute, and entered j a n$W.' apartment house. v' ' On tho third floor of this house, In the fashionable sixteenth ward of Paris, Colonel Dreyfus, his wife' and two young children, make their home. He seldom receive 9. callers. His chief diversion of aSundaV con-' si-sts In strolling through the Tare Moneeau with his wlfo and chil dren. , He novor attends a thontor.

REFUSE TO QUT ' What can yon do with an auto mobile engine that refuses to quit after twelve years or innro of nor vico? Officials of Dodge 11 rot hers aro constantly being advised by own ers over tho rountry that their engines aro "good as new," and only the stylish lines and design advantages of Mono-pleeo bodies or the mechanical features of the present Dodge line prompt them to part with their old cars. At Khelton, Washington, tins come the report of a new uso for ono of (heso veteran Dodge power plants. A 1017 Dodge Hi nt hers engine, which had already driven a car 183,000 miles, was trans planted la a boat, ami used to propel this boat In furry service between Hhclton and Harskluu island, twelvo miles from the mainland. The Dodge engine pulls like a steam turbine, and drives a boat that carries eight automo biles at ono time. Tho operator of tho ferry Hue designed an unusual craft for his Dodge engine to drive, the boat being constructed out of flvo huge cedar logs four feet apart and decked over with planking at n safe height nbovo water. In the center of this boat Is mounted the sturdy engine, connected by direct drive to tho propeller. Many Dodge engines havo been used to operate saw mills. Far mers have Dodgo engines pumping water, cutting wood und running a small machine shop on thelr furms. "Thero seems to be no end to the iisfa found for these sturdy en RlnM that refuse to qull," said Clyde Kakln, local Dodgo Pint hem dealQr. "When It was recently dis covered that tho first Dodgo car shipped to the first Dodge denier In ltM4 whs still running. It Is easy to see how these cars have earned a wnrld-wlde reputation for dependability."

I Questioned ns to his misfortune. ; Jensen unfolded the following ; storv: i -Over a year ago I started from my homo with my truck. While making my daily rounds I was hit a few hours later by a much heav ier truck. My truck wus turned over and my back was broken, my head, leg und arm cut and bruised, and I suffered serious internal Injuries. For nine weeks I lay encased in a plaster cast, and tho doctors told me I was lucky to escape with my life. Finally they braced me up, gave me a cuno nnd I was able to get about. 1 got hack to my business, but I was handicapped in walking, so 1 sug gested to my wife that I buy a car. She doubted my ability to with stand bumps and jolts. She may be right. I have looked around iiuito a bit and so far I have not found a car which was comfort able to mo and which 1 could operate easily. I'm here to look over your line." In u Pontine Dig Six cabriolet Mr. Jensen found tho ease of con trol and riding that he sought. Jle drove homo in comfort, and any day in Portland you may see thin broken-back man driving, a living1 testimonial not only to Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest but also to tho comfortable ride ability and easy drivcubility of the Pontine automobile. ' in zero weather safer In a field of I only-one meilimn priccd automobiles only Oiikinnil has the Cross-flow Radiator. AH of the other oars use down-flow radi ators, despite the fact that thirteen of them are highcr-prieed than Oakland. Yet the Cross-flow Radi ator is recognized as one of the greatest automotive developments of recent times. Its design is revolu tionary. It practically eliminates losses of water and alcohol through hniling. And as a result it is anfer in zero weather. This is an Oakland advantage which becomes increas ingly important with the approach of winter. Dozens of others of equal importance combine to make this car America's finest medium-priced automobile.
