a result of motor oil tests con-
ductod at the Indianapolis Speed-
way under auspices of the A.A.A.
Contest Committee.
During these tosts a new oil, de-
veloped by the Gulf Refining Com-
pany, obtulnod 28.5 per cent more

28.5 per cent less to use, when
tested against three popular, high-
grade brands familiar to every
motorist.

and Buicks, picked at random from
the streets of Indianapolis, wore
used in the four-day run. Bach car
traveled 450 miles a day at a con-
stantly maintained speed of 45
M.P.II., using a different brand of
oil each day. Oil consumption was
rigidly chocked by A.A.A. officials,
and results were corrected for
variations in temperature.

the other oils by a wide margin,

Introduction of this advanced pro
coss marks a definite step forward
in the refining industry and, it is
believed, will result in decreased
operation costs for the average
motorist.

MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER
Mrs. J. B. Rupe, a recent bride was
honored with a miscellaneous shower
on last Friday afternoon in the dining
room at Hotel Palacios, with Mrs. E.
W. Flores, Mrs. Mattie Fetzer and
Mrs. Jess Richards as hostesses. The
room looked inviting in its decorations
of pink and white and made an at-
tractive setting for the honoree to re-
cieve gifts and hearty good wishes
from her numerous friends. Miss
Rubalee Rupe, of McAllen, and Mrs.
Russell Williams assisted Mrs. Rupe
in opening the packages. After gifts
had been passed around and admired

seated at a long table, tastefully ar-
ranged to carry out the color scheme

three-tiered wedding cake, elaborate
in trimmings and graced on top with
a minature bride and groom. Refresh-
ments of chicken salad, wafers, cake
and ice tea were served, and an hour
of social converse enjoyed.
HOW WILL YOU VOTE
In the second Epistle of Peter, sec-
ond chapter and the twenty-second
verse, we find these words: "The dog
has returned to his own vomit again,
and the sow that was washed to her
wollowing in the mire." Is this a pic-
ture of our country if and when the
Eighteenth Amendment is repealed?
Will our country return to the liquor
traffic again? and, to wollowing in
the mire of drunkenness, debauchry
and sin?
How are you going to vote on Aug.
26th?—W. H. C.
