While your car is going only one mile, your engine may go the equivalent of two miles. The number of extra revolutions your engine makes depends on how many times you stop and start how much of your driving is in low and second gears. While you can't avoid the annoyance of stop-and-go driving, you can do something about its high cost. Shell engineers have found that get ting away from an average traffic stop actually can waste enough "undigest ed" gasoline to carry you one-third of a mile. To cut this costly waste, they rear ranged the chemical structure of gaso line. They make every drop of Super Shell "motor digestible" every drop usable in stop-and-go driving. A Shell dealer is near you. Use Super Shell regularly and savings count up. OA STOP AMD GO c ESSION DUE 10 OLD GUARD PL0I GREENWICH. Conn.. Nov. 8. H?, Attorney General Homer S. Cum mlngs, in a campaign address to night, laid major responsibility for the "recent temporary recession at the door of the "forces of reaction" which, he charged, waged an "un seemly struggle to sabotage reform." The cabinet , officer praised New Deal measures In his prepared speech at a rally of fellow Democrats here and charged reactionaries became vocal, not immediately after the Roosevelt administration came into power in 1932. but after "business began to prosper, as stocks rose to higher levels, as bank closings be came a thing of history, as fore closures ceased." Then they wanted to "let well enough alone," he said. "Not only were the dark days of 1932 forgotten and their lessons ig nored, but the selfish short-sighted Interests that Roosevelt had rescued took courage to begin an assault upon him, the like of which has not been known since the days of Wash ington. Jackson and Lincoln. "Moreover," they showered the gov ernment with thousands of unnec essary suits, enmeshed the adminis tration In litigation. Invoked the Injunctive power of the courts, and strove by legal action to wreck the very machinery which had given them, and all the rest of us. renewed life and hope. "It was a veritable conspiracy to stall action by paralyzing the gov ernment and its various agencies Who can doubt that one of the major factors in the recent temporary re cession was the unseemly struggle to sabotage reform?" He credited New. Deal critics with being "undoubtedly sincere, but they are strangely lacking In vision." inurn nnnnni ilL flUAtt. MM. AT BIG APPLEGATE BIG APPLEGATE. Nov. 7. (8pU Hallowe'en pranksters exist In the rural areas, as well as in the towns, and residents of the Unlontown Rucb section discovered that the annua tricks had amounted to actual damage of property.

However, the tables turned that night for a Ruch boy who goes on the bus to Medford high school. He stayed in town that night to Join his friends In their city escapades, and when it was time to adjourn he lost his direction and couldn't find the home where he expected to stay. About midnight it was pouring down rain, and the young man was standing, forlorn and soaked, under neath a tree on West main street with nowhere to go and no way to get there. An Applegate woman drove by. searching the town for a passenger whom she expected to bring to the Applegate. The bedrag gled youngster was not the passenger for whom she was looking, but he gratefully accepted the ride, and was taken to his home here. He said he'd had a grand time.

Bv Janet Beed I hare been follcwlng In the Mall Tribune the advance notices on the appearance of the San Francisco Opera Ballet In Medford November la, and It Is with some apprehension that X note the Interest which is being built up around the appear anco of Miss Zoe Del Lantla and my self with the company. One Is alwaya a little self-conscious in making an appearance before old friends, but I am sure you will be pleased with the beauty and grace of the ballet aa they have been pro duced by Mr. William Christensen. our director. In ballet work, the entire company must be synchronized in perfect harmony, and all of us' here find pleasure in working together without thought of Individual honoro. Miss Lantla, as theme girl of the San Francisco esp:sltion, haa appear ed In a variety of dance forms, but she la enthusiastic over her oppor tunity to appear In ballet, and has a lovely role In the Johann Strauss ballet, "In Vienna." I will have the pleasure of danc ing two of my favorite roles In the repertoire of four ballets which will be presented. In the ''Vienna" ballet, built In two scenes around the works of Strauss. I will appear as bal lerina, and in "Romeo and Juliet." presented In three scenes to the Tschalkowsky "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture." I will dance tha Juliet role. Both of ua are- looking forward to our Medford appearance, and I hope we will be there long enough to re new many old acquaintances. Ballet work la very strenuous, and the few brief momenta we appear on the stage represents week of patient ef fort and sometimes Just plain, hard work. We hope you will not be disap pointed In us, however, and that you will find much to please you In the work of the 30 dancers who make up the company. Incidentally, music for the four ballets will be played In the two piano accompaniment, and while all of It Is beautiful. I'm sure you will find the Tschalwoksky "Romeo and Juliet" number something to thrill you. Newton Haskins, Pioneer Attains 89th Milestone BIG APPLEGATE. Nov. 7.
