NEW DODGE FLUID
DRIVECARSCORES
IN ECONOMY TESI
Twenty-six miles to the gallon
of gasoline is a good economy
record, in the opinion of Les
ter C. Taylor, owner and man
ager of L. C. Taylor, Inc., local
Dodge and Plymouth dealers.
"It if an especially excellent
showingC says Mr. Taylor,
"when you consider that Dodge
is powered with a new 105
horsepower engine. That's a lot
of power and a lot of mileage
to come from so little gasoline."
Back of Mr. Taylor's terse
statement lies a story appealing
impartially to the all-important
cause of gasoline conservation
and to the motorist's personal
and individual pocketbook. The
story, as related by Mr. Tay
lor, is that Dodge engineers in
developing their new 105 horse
power engine, succeeded in
combining power, smoothness
and flexibility with unusual
economy.
When many tests and trial
runs yielded uniformly interest
ing fuel economy data, the com
pany's sales heads organized
Dodge dealers for a great nation-wide
demonstration of the
newest Dodge Fluid-Drive mo
del in a 100-mile economy test
carried on simultaneously in all
parts of the country, over all
sorts of roads and under' great
ly varying driving and traffic
conditions. The idea was that if
the results of these runs, as
reported to the factory, gave
the expected noteworthy picture
of outstanding fuel economy,
the world was entitled to learn
about it.
"Our own contribution to the
nationwide demonstration con
sisted of a 110.9 mile trip to
Roseburg," Mr. Taylor explain
ed. "The actual mileage of this
test trip was 110.0 miles, aver
age speed was approximately
45 miles per hour, weather con
ditions were perfect and traffic
moderate. Only one brief stop
was made and no stops were
necessitated by traffic signals..
'To make the record authen
tic, we enlisted the coooeratinn
of Herb Grey, advertising man
ager of the Mai! Tribune, as
official observer. Mr. Grey per
sonally checked the mileage
and gasoline consumption and
cerunea nis observation in a
signed statement made before a
notary public."
Flock of Warplanes
Mysteriously Leaves
Carolina Maneuvers
With army in the field. Nov.
15 (IP) Sudden withdrawal of
combat planes for a secret des
tination has cut into the air
power which the army, the navy
and the Marine corps has ready
for the army maneuvers in the
Carolinas, it was learned today.
An unimpeachable authority
disclosed that aerial units, al
ready here for the army general
headquarters war games Nov.
15-30, have been recalled with
out explanation.
"We don't know where they
have gone but our guess is over
seas," a high officer said. He
would not say whether the
planes were army Navy or ma
rine, how many there were or
whether the pilots also were
sent on the mission. His position
was so high that the informa
tion could not be challenged.
KILLING ARREST
Pomeroy, Nov. 15 (IP) Pros
ecutor Pat McCabe said today
the bullet which killed R. B.
Westicott of Garfield while he
was hunting elk November 9
had been traced to a rifle owned
by Roy W. Knighten of Delrio
and that Knighten had been
arrested on a charge of man
slaughter. The rifles of all hunters who
had been in the Blue mountains
near here November 9 were
seized so the check could be
made, McCabe said.
"We found the bullet which

added. 'Bullet and rifles were
sent to state patrol ballistic
experts at the state crime labo
ratory and they determined the
bullet was fired from Knighten's
rifle."
Knighten, employed at Grand
Coulee dam, was held in lieu
of $3,000 bond pending his arraignment.

The dramatic production, On
Stage, staging three plays, will
be presented for the first time
in the auditorium of the South
ern Oregon College of Education
on Monday, November 17, at
8:20 p. m. The plays are under
direction of Angus L. Bowmer
of the college drama depart
ment. The stark tragedy of "The
Duel," written by Mr. Bowmer,
will be played against a black
forest. The scene at dawn shows
Jackson and Dickenson fighting
a duel.
The all-male cast for "In The
Zone" acts aboard a grimy little
freighter, where an English sea
man is under suspicion of being
a traitor. The fear that a
depth-bomb will shiver the little
freighter into nothingness car
rles a high tension throughout
the play.
The colorful costumes of the
court figures in "As You Like
It" contrast with the drabness
of "In The Zone." For the first
tme the stage production will
be supplemented by a narrator.
