Promptly at 9 30 the members o f the Club sat down to a beautifully appointed break fast table, where a delicious two-course breakfast was served by the hostess. The meeting was presided over by its presi dent, Mrs. F.lise Reynolds, and after the business was transacted, the ladies delved into their study of Negro history. Mrs. Cannady outlined the history class and also instructed them in Ssperants. The coming of Oscar Do Priest, Con gressman from Illinois, to Portland, in terested the Club in the study of the Negro in politics and therefore the time was devoted to that phase of Negro history. The period devoted to the study of F'speranto was decidedly popular and all evinced great interest in it. At the close of the meeting, promptly at 11:30, the hostess took snap-shots of the Club members.

The carbon that builds up in your motor comes from burned oil. And it is a strange fact that often the highest priced lubricants will give you large quantities o f gritty, hard carbon. In spite o f all this it is easy now to avoid car bon-forming oils. For science has perfected one oil that is vitally different. Only a little soft soot Shell Motor Oil, the result o f a new refining proc ess, forms less th a n o n e -th ird the carbon o f even the co stliest oils; no h a rd carbon, only a little soot that blows easily away through the exhaust. Its lubricant value is far greater than old type oils. Careful refining leaves all its “ body’’ intact ready to resist even the most violent changes in temperature. Insist on Shell Motor Oil every time you buy. It is almost a necessity in today’s motors. S H E L L MOTOR OIL Shell 400, the new “ dry” gas that bums cleanly and keeps out o f the crankcase, is the ideal running mate for Shell Motor Oil.
