attorney, ho offered to accept a
plea of second degrco murder,

supreme court order will be to
postpono Dennis' execution for at
least 30 days. Regardless of
any action taken at Tuesday's
hearing, Dennis will have to be
sent back to Portland to be re
sentenced by Judge Hawkins, as
supreme court attaches said the
high court docs not have power
to fix a new date for the execu
tion. Dennis had his "last meal" to
dny of fried Olympla oysters,
which Warden Alexander had
a difficult time finding. Donnls

You wouldn't think digging carbon and gum out of

In Improved RPM Compounded Motor Oil gradually
removes power-robbing deposits from engines. This
saves tidy sums in repair jobs.
Wo love to fill your radiator (drop In anytime) but
your car's cooling system can't stop fiery heat from
blasting upper cylinder waiis. Most oils shrink from
hot spots out not "RPM." It contains an adhering
agent which makes it cling tight to the most sizzling
cylinder. This naturally cuts wear 'way down.

Corrosion nibbles away at vital parts of your car
just like rust eats through a nail in a glass of

your car from this sad fate with a special corrosion
inhibitor, an ingredient that knocks corrosion cold

To keep you out of bubble trouble we gave RPM
Compounded Motor Oil a de-foamer. This stotu air
