While the board expresses regret at the necessity of discharging the woman it was con sidered the only alternative under the circumstances. Mrs. Wendover, it is said, was warned several weeks ago, when apprehended distributing radical literature, and j"he had argeed, it is stated, to cease her activities. Several days ago she applied to City Superintendent Robinson asking to be relieved from duty Thursday. Think ing she had a legitimate excuse, she was allowed a leave of absence. She visited other city schools, carrying radical literature and delivering bcl shevist speeche . Mrs. Wendover is considered a very eilicient teacher. It is believed, how ever, that she is the tool of a local colony of radicals, who have recently been holding secret meetings but have feared to make public assertions of their belief. WHY BOILING POINTS MUST FORM CHAIN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Miss (By Ciitlicrine Carter) G. Metcalf, of Whitman Col lege took Mrs. G. T. Wendover's place as teacher of languages Monday. The senior class will be dismissed next Monday and the senior examina tions will be given Tuesday and Wed nesday. For a Weak Stomach As a general rule all you need to do is to adopt a diet suited to your age and occupation and keep your boweN regular. When you feel that you have eaten too much and when constipated, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets. Every motorist wants only such gas oline as will give eaf.v starting and full power. Really efficient perform ance can only be had from gasoline with a full and continuous chain of boiling points. Low boiling points give easy start ing and high boiling points full power. The low boiling points start the explo sion quickly. The gradually rising series of boiling points form the con necting links between the higher and the lower, just like a fuse, giving ever increasing power and force to the ex plosion. With both high and low boiling points connected by a gradually rising series, everything needed in good gasoline is produced. Ked Crown is a well known straight distilled gasoline with the full and con tinuous chain of boiling points neces sary to give best remits. Mixtures always have holes in the power chain.

The popularity of this pleasure car alone, during the past five seasons, would have enabled the Maxwell Motor Company to attain a volume production such as few motor car companies achieve with an entire line. Five years of intensive manufacture have developed the Maxwell chassis remarkably, and the efforts of the past year to enhance the car's appearance have borne good fruit. The Touring Car appears this season with a new body. It is just a little more roomy than its predecessors more space in the tonneau and more clearance and leg room in the driving compartment. This naturally followed as a result of lengthening the chassis several inches. A FULL LINE OF UNITED STATES TIRES IN STOCK L. E.
