TAUIS W1) Twelvo o'clock noon.
Tho boulevards are choked with
people. Paris is seething with dally.
' ever-rencwed turmoil. ( 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

He novor attends a thontor. Ho

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."

Harrowing tales of man-eat-

pared In teHt the theory with
I life and limb.
! Tln'y organized a party and 4
set out for tho Klgolets out-

thVy had caught a four-foot
shark and saw many others i
in the water, dived hi and
swam for :tu minutes in the S

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."

Mr. Jensen found tho ease of con

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 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. Come in and we will
tell you all nlxmt them and show
you how easily you can own an All
American Six.
