whose history had slipped their mind.
In a short time slips we're given

the doors to the class room and dis
closed neatly spread tables where the
oysters were served steaming hot by
obIiging walters.

siastic meeting of automobile dealers

gested that the southern California

dealers, would appreciate any return
in the form of a contribution for this
big annual race.
Another meeting will be held in
about ten days at which time the rules
for the contest will be drawn up and

majority of the dealers favor the San
Diego route, although the route will
