It is so wonderfully quiet in operation that you can detect only the soft whisper of the wind . . . and, occasion ally,' the pleasant song of the tires on.the pavement. ; Insofar as the car itself is concerned, there is only silence! "; But listen, if you will, to the remarkable story this silence tells about the "car of cars." : "Here," it says, "is a mechanism so flawlessly designed and so faultlessly engineered that every component performs with absolute perfection. "Here is truly scientific styling so basically good and sound that there is literally no noticeable resist ance from wind or road. :: . ; . "And here is craftsmanship so superb and so pains taking that not a trace of vibration can be heard." And how eloquently it speaks of the satisfactions of Cadillac ownership! It testifies to the rest and relaxation to be found at the wheel. It promises peace of mind . . . and greater driving safety. And it pledges dependability and endurance and economy of operation. . -. V .. -, ' '- '.-,. "., -'" "' ., Clearly, no one can tell the Cadillac story as well or as convincinglyas the car itself! ; . And if you haven't as yet "heard" this remarkable story, we hope that you will accept bur invitation to come in and spend an hour at the wheel. . You'll agree, we're certain, that the 1955 Cadillac i is its own best spokesman! S IMKJMEnir S .(EaMEA(EIE 143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE MEDFORD PHONE 2-6264 Sunday. February SO, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAXL TRIBUNE SEYElf On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) What's the oldest typewriter still in use?

Do you know the origin of "phobia"? It is from Phobas, the god of fear. . Horses and Women How long should it take a bus iness girl to dress in the morning so as to be all ready to start for the office? Opinions differ wide ly as to this. Anyway, the bugle call for WACs is 6 a.m. They get twenty minutes to dress. Average secretary takes twenty-five min utes, Receptionists take half an hour. Latter are slowest dressers among business girls. Get It Right The first name of that hatchet swinging reformer whose last name was Nation is repeatedly spelled "Carrie." That's wrong. Should be Carry. That is with a "Y." Her maiden name was Carry Amelia Moore. Most of her campaigning took place in Kan sas but she was born in Ken tucky. Her first husband was Dr. Charles Floyd, her second was David Nation. She obtained a divorce from Mr. Nation after twenty-four years of marriage. Brevity What was the best speech you ever heard? How long did the speaker talk? Edward Everett was chosen principal speaker for the dedication of . the Soldiers' Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pa., in 1863. He talked for one hour and fifty-seven minutes. His speech was forgotten. Then Abra ham Lincoln arose and spoke for barely five minutes. His speech was that masterpiece of brevity, the immortal "Gettysburg Ad dress."

A Kansas woman has had five blessed events, all single births, by the Caesarean method. Sidelights One of my favorite kinds of cake is upside down cake.
