In low and second, your engine
makes up to 3 times as many
revolutions as in high uses
3 times as much gasoline
Today's stop-and-go driving fools your
speedometer! 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.

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."

Hallowe'en pranksters exist In the

and residents of the Unlontown
Rucb section discovered that the
annua tricks had amounted to
actual damage of property. A num
ber of mall boxes were torn down,
and the pump at the Union town
school house broken. Other dam
age was wrought about the school
grounds. A farmer's gate was torn
down, and a youns rancher, having
Just built p j rail fence, found It
torn up. ; .
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

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.
