The new instrument has an innovation that causes it to sDpd to these who listen to eong or otr.t mufickl reproductions. In other standard makes of talking machines and pbonotrraphs the repro duction takea place before the gourd is transmitted to the vibrato, sounding device In the new Pathe) hone the souid 18 transmitted to a dvke thht reproduces it and ser.ds it directly to the ea a of the listener. It is close as an ap roach as i- ssible to the human threat or the actual operation of an instrument, and therefore is all but natural.

Chevrolet Forfieety The more a man knows about automobiles, the more experience he himself has had with them, the more critical he is apt to be of their essential features. To satisfy this class of motorists is the chief motive of Chevrolet construction and equip ment. It is this element therefore that the con venience of operation, accessibility and equipment, the dependability and economy of the Chevrolet makes its greatest appeal. HOOD RIVER GARAGE Maxwell 'S WAS NOT SUICIDAL An autopsy performed by County Health Officer V. K. Abraham has re vealed that the death of J. C. Ho warth, Dee rancher, was caused from a diabetic spasm instead of from strychnine poisoning as was at first supposed. Mr. Hovvarth, aged 66 and a native of England, was found in agony by his nephew, who lived with him, last Fiiday night. Returning from a neighbor's, where he had gone to summon a physician, Mr. Pilling found his uncle dead. The discovery of a strychnine bottle lead to the suicide theory, but it was ascertained that Mr. Howatth had been taking the drug for heart trouble. His stomach showed no traces of strychnine poisoning. Mr. Howarth's bodv was buried Tuesday at Idlewilde cemetery. Cor oner Anderson made an investigation Saturday. He was accompanied by Undertaker Bartmess, the latter bring ing the body here for interment. Mrs. Jones Buried Here The remains of Mrs. Agnes Jones, whose death occurred in Portland Sat urday and whose funeral was held there Tuesday were brought here for inter ment at Idlewilde cemetery yesterday. Mrs. Jones, the daughter of J. N. Mc Coy, is survived by twin sons. The burial was conducted by S. E. Rartme88. 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. First Church of Christ, Scientist Services will be held in Churcl Building, Otliand Eugene, Sunday, 1 1 :0( a. m.; Subject: Christian Science. Sundav School at 11 a. m. Wednesday service, 8 p. m. The reading room is open daily from ! to 5 p. m., in the Church. 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. FOUST DISPLAY OF JAPANESE GOODS ColdJIits Locks Folk Residents of Cascade Locks were never happier than when the cold wavi let up and moderation set in, declared A. W Meyer, who was here last week on business. Fuel ran out and a short age of coal oil held the Locks town ir. its grip, according to Mr. Meyer. ' For a week we were without elec tric lipids. Coal oil ran out, and we had to fall back on candles," said Mr. Meyer. "We used all available stock. We were indeed glad to see the ther mometer climb. Our minimum tem perature was nine below zero." zio' ll' locrz )c ioi 51 m 5t Should He (Jiiarantined Many physicians believe that anyone who has a bad cold should be complete ly isolated to prevent other members of the family and associates from con tracting the disease, as colds are about as catching as fheasles. One thing sure the sooner one rids himself of a cold the less the danger, and you will look a good while before you find a better medicine than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to aid you in curing a cold.
