The Chevrolet engine is the most economical automobile
engine produced today, because (1) it is a six-cylinder
engine, and (2) it is a valve-in-head six-cylinder engine.
. i . Its si« cylinder* use less gas and oil—in fact, use
the least gas and oil—because six cylinders are the most
economical combination used in modern automobiles.
. .. Its valve-in-head design cuts gasoline consumption
still lower because there is less loss of heat through the walls
of the Combustion chamber in val ve-in-head engines, and
the advanced construction of the Chevrolet edgine gives
maximum heat (or power) saving..,. Most important of
all, Chevrolet's more efficient cooling system, pressure
stream oiling and the greater accessibility of all working
parts result in more dependable operation, over a longer
period of time, with the lowest maintenance costs.

KIDS ARE JUST KIDS
In this age of researches, surveys and investigations, it
is sometimes encouraging to note that in most cases things
are just about as sensible folks suspected before we had so
much research.
For example, after an elaborate study of many school
pupils by experts of Wittenberg College, it was discovered
that students from large families were as bright as those
from small families. Also that there was a fair degree of uni-
formity among students who happened to be the oldest, mid-
dle or youngest in their respective families.
Again, it didn’t seem to piake much difference in the in-
telligence of the offspring whether either or both of the par-
ents were college graduates or not.
All of which indicates that the average pupil is just
about average, no matter what happened to his folks before-
hand.
Which, again and also, is what most of us ls^ow all the

To Our Friends
None, except those who have had
similar sorrows, can realize just,
•hpw much we appreciate every
kindness and sympathy shown us,
after the sad and unexpected death
of our husband and father, Alonzo'
Dunn, and we hope you may never
have such sorrow.
Also to Ideal Security Life In-
surance Co. for the courtesy shown
and promptness in making full
payment of policy with them, which
was made that sad afternoon.
May the blessings of an All-Wise
Father be with each of ybu.
Sincerely, .
Mrs. Alonzo Dunn and
family, Haskell, Texas.
