TEACHER DISMISSED
FOR RED TENDENCY
For an apparent attempt to convert
follow teachers and ftudenta of city
schools to bolshevism, Mrs. Gladys
Wendover, of Portland, language teach
er at tlie high school, was dismissed
by the school board Friday. 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

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.

Good looks, plenty of comfort and convenience and ample room for five adults
make the Maxwell Touring model the ideal car for family use. 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.
