SALEM, Fob. 7. () Keappor tlomuent of representation in the Ntuto legislature Is expected to bo presented during the session. At a meeting lust night, the special committee started consideration of a measure . to present. It , devel oped that no apportionment has been accomplished in this or other slates with due regard to the constitution and final action must he either through legislative en actment or by constitutional amendment if the committee is to proceed. It was stated that every county of the state is entitled to ono representative, with the re maining 24 unless the size of the legislature Is increased, based up on percentage of population. Four paths arc open to the legislature in the opinion of Rep resentative Ralph Hamilton. These are: First Distribution strictly on a basis of population. Second Arbitrarily giving each of the 36 counties ono represen tative, the remaining to be appor tioned, which, under a tentative plan received by the committee, would give Multnomah county 12, Marion 3, Iane 3 and two each to Clackamas, Jackson, Klamath, Washington, Coos, Linn, Umatilla, Yamhill, Douglas, and ono each of the remaining counties on the basis of 7133 inhabitants. Third Grant relief to aggregat ed cases. Fourth Nothing. Attention was called to a few specific instances. It was pointed out that Jefferson " county has never yet had a direct represen tative In the legislature; Lake county, with the exception of Lair Thompson, has' never had one, while Lincoln county has never yet had a" senator. . Whether or not each county should have ono senator and the representatives from each distrib uted in proportion to keep the ration of ono senator to two rep resentatives In tho respective bod ies, was also discussed informal Plans were also discussed for a public hearing at which tlmo views could be obtained relative to tho loss of representatives, but no date was set as it was deemed best to wait until some definito plan of action has been decided upon by thee ommittec. Another meeting will be held Monday. f WILLYS-KNIGHT GENERAL PETROLEUM STARTS AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN TO SET NEW RECORDS IN 1931 Business on Upgrade andr This Year Will Reward Progressive Effort, Says Ralph G. Bowman MEASURETO ADD SOLQNS SPONSORED ANNOUNCES NEW OIL Newspaper Advertising Will Be Backbone of Major Oil Company Activity Convinced ttiat this is the logical time Tor all business to increase activity, tho (Jenernl Petroleum Cor poration of California is planning a greatly enlarged and aggressive selling nnd advertising campaign during lOlll. Announcement to this effect was niado yestorday by Ralph Ci. Howruan, assistant general sales mannger. "After a thorough study of eco nomic conditions and business in dexes," said Mr. Bowman, "we are convinced that 1!):tl will show a consistent upward trend and will reward aggressive firms, especially in the automotive industry. We plan, therefore, to increase our efforts tremendously in order to follow up tho great gains made for Violet Kay gasoline during 1930 In Washington. Oregon, California, Ne vada, Arizona and British Columbia. The opening gun will be on the new Socony Pewn xed Para fll ne Base Motor Oil jtiFt introduced to Coast motortsls. "The entire Ceneral Petroleum organization is nu its tons to estab lish new sules records not only for Violet Kay gasoline tint for General Kthyl Double Powered gasoline and the new Socony Motor Oil as well." Plan Newspaper Campaign Newspaper advertising will be the backbone of the 1M1 advertising campaign Tor the Ceneral Petro leum Corporation. Complete plans for the IMI schedules have been outlined. Larger space and con sistent insertions are features of the plan, which calls for a total linage ihnt will greatly surpass that of recent years. Approximately 150 newspapers will bo used in the states covered by the General Petroleum marketing organisation. Initial advertising on the new Socony Pewaxed Parafflne Base Mo tor Oil has already started. Tried for tho first lime by Pacific Coast motorists six weeks ago, the new oil has already built up an army of several hundred thousand enthusi ast in users. First tested in every conceivable way In the laboratories and proving grounds of the great Standard Oil Company of New York. (SOCONY) and now proved further by actuul use In the ears of motorists, the new Socony Motor Oil bids fair to cstnblish n new all-time record for popularity before l!Ktl closes. An Ail-Around Oil Tn the new Socony Motor Oil. Mr. Bowman points out. a distinct and deliberate attempt has been made for the first time to develop an all around lubricant, with a complete list of qualities most desired under all motoring conditions. Instead of developing n particular quality which might matin catchy advertis ing phrases possible, the engineers, chemists and lubrication specialists of the Standard Oil Company of New York Nought, to attain an "ideal" melor oil---one that would actually rive quicker starting, in stant lubrication, greater oilmen, morb power, greater gasoline mile age, less crank-cane dilution, longer t VALUES GREATER From Tintype lo Tone-Type In teats of New Socony De waxed Parafnne Base Motor Oil, cars sped around Indianapolis Speedway at a mile a minute for 5 M days ard nights, covering practically a year's mileage for the average car in less than a week. Devastating heat was developed but the oil refused to break down. In other tests it flowed freely at 38 A-trr hfdnw IrDtzins. Inset- Ralph G. Bowman, Assistant General Sales Manager of the The General Petroleum Corporation of California, who is directing his company's big 1931 campaign. Socony experts were giver, every facility of the vast Socony organi zation with which to perfect their ideal oil. They had at their com mand crude oils from all the great petroleum centers of the country. After hundreds of laboratory tests they selected a crude from only one field as having the natural proper ties desired. Then they inspected eventeen different refineries owned by Socony and its subsidiaries, and 10 one they gave the responsibility of refining the product so that it would he at all times uniform no matter where sold. In this refinery they worked for months experi menting, testing, checking and re checking before they adopted the product that was lo undergo the gruelling tests of the proving grounds. Official Tests Made When they had perfected an oil that would pass the severest labora tory tests, they put it into actual use more devastating than the ordi nary action of an automobile engin could possibly be. Thry sent it nearly five miles into Ibe air . . . I hey sent it out to sen. and. in three different motor cars, rolled up nearly a year's mileage in less than a week. The airplane test was lo deter mine the free-flowing quality of Ibe 011 at frigid temperatures. All wax bad been removed in the refining process, not only the ordinary wax but the amorphous wax, as well. II is wa:; thai makes an oil flow slowly in cold weather and It is wax thai makes it thin out and lose its body in hot weather. In the airplane test an allilude of 2G.2O0 fect was reached and I lie thermometer registered ;!S degrees below freezing. Photographs taken at this attitude and at I hi;: tempera lure show that the oil stilt flowed freelv. distance of 7290 miles. Through allcruating rain and blistering heat, these cars traveled close to a mile a minule with only siillicicnt stops to replace fuel. These tests, made under the supervision of tho Amer ican Automobile Association. showed that Socony Motor Oil refuses to decompose or break down even under abnormally high engine tem peratures. In another test, sea-sleds were operated at tremendous speeds for ten hours continuously. Only onn quart of oil was used during the period. "liemoval of all wax from Socony Motor Oil." says Mr. Howman. "is bound to result in quicker starting on cold mornings, instant lubrica tion at nil temperatures, greater penet ration to working parts, nnd positive protection against friction wear. Natural qualities of the oil provide perfect piston seal thus preventing crankcasc dilution and increasing the power developed by Ibe engine. No Sludge in Socony "Hy the special Socony filtering process, all tendency lo form sludge or other harmful motor deposits is eliminated. Our tests prove nnd the tests of hundreds of thousands of motorist s prove: t bat I ho new So cony. ;Motnr. Oil is an all-around lubricant, providing not just ono ; outstanding virtue, but all of the qualities that motorists have looked for in an oil. "Wo are now ready lo wage an aggressive campaign on the new Socony Mctor Oil. It is being market ed 1 hrougliout the United Slates by Standard OH Company of i New York and its subsidiaries. which Include the tJeneral Petro leum Cornoration of California, nnd it will, therefore, be possiblo for moiorlt tn to :;';:'.(! the oil wherever they may bo.

SCJKNTISTS havo now mado it possiblo for man to add his voice and those of his chil droit and friends to his store of mo mentos of the past. In the privacy of hia own home he may now make permanent records of the voices of hia loved onoa, ploying thorn back In future years when he wishes to recall their owners. Thus have engineers' of tne UCA Victor Com pany added another milepost to tho saga of a memory which began with the days of pressed four leaf clovers, locks of hair, and the stiffly posed, tintype: and progressed to the prenent day uo of tho homo movie and "tone type." Man is essentially sentimental. What other possible reason could he have for somo of tho useless lit tle things that ho treasures no highly. Of all his ItcenHakes in f:o past, the tintype lias been tho most prized, recalling faces and scenes .that have slipped from his miivl. Hut the most Intimate nnd person.il quality of a forgotten friend or a child grown up, tho voice, has been beyond recall. And yet, most price less of all, would havo boon just such a permanent record of one's children's voices as they sounded ten or twenty years ago. Today homo recording, has made it a tdmple and practical reality. In the privacy of his home, frc from embarrassment and curious spectators, ho now takes tone "snap shots" of his voice, and those of his loved ones, "snap shots" that will rank with his tintypes as precious reminders for the future. This simple home recording device, which is part of a radioelectrola combination Instrument, also makes it possiblo for him, by tho turn of a switch, to mako permanent records of excerpts from rndio broadcasts, thus collecting an album, that would ovontually contain the actual voices of many famous world figures and artists.
