propriate program at an early date.
According TO a custom established in
1913 by the present senior class of Will
lamette university, the pea green post
age stamp caps appeared on the manly
domes of some 80 odd freshmen this
morning to furnish a pleasing contrast
with the seer autumnal hues of early
fall. All male members of Willamette s
1920 class are required to wear the lur-
id sky piece for a period Of approxi-
mately seven months as it is g the con
census of opinion that this is wise and
desirable action in that it is a good
means of advertising the university IN
the city of Salem, in that it tends to
create a proper respect for upperclass-
men, and in creating a spirit of unity
and loyalty among the freshmen them
selves. "
The rules for the wearing of the
caps provide that the evergreen class
must conform to the rules established
by the class Of 1917 which are that:
|. All freshmen boys shall don green
caps NOT later tnan tne tnlru MOhudl
after the opening of the university
year.
>. Green caps shall be worn cXclus'
lively by all freshmen boys, except on
Sundays and vacations, from the third
Monday of the school year TO the be-
ginning of Thanksgiving recess, and
from Washington Is birthday until May
the first, during the day from sunrise
to seven p. M, and to all student rallies
and athletic affairs.
3. The freshmen shall discard their
green caps publicly at the May Day
Festival, making it the subject of an
original stunt.
4. A permanent committee shall be-
established, consisting of the president
of the student body, and a representa-
tive from each of the two upper class.
es; to whom all violations of the rules
concerning the wearing of the caps
shall be reported, and who shall have
power to grant exemptions to individu-
ais whose health shall be endangered,
or whose professional duties shall be
seriously interfercd with by the wear
ing of said caps, or for any other rea-
sons that the committee sees TO be just
and reasonable

The attention of the automobile pub
lie has been drawn at various times
this Spring to notable mileage per-
iormances of Maxwell cars. In view
of the upward trend in the price of
gasoline, a great deal of Importance is
attached to the after-cost of automo-
biles and the officials of the Maxwell
Motor Company take great pride in the
records that have been made by their
product.
Above are listed some of the more
remarkable of the series of economy
marks registered by Maxwells. These
are taken from a greater list of econ
omy records. Unsolicited testimonials
to the high mileage records made by
Maxwell cars are constantly coming to
the Maxwell Offices at Detroit.

this concern which controls a num-

DIxoN's GRAPHITE IN RACECARs

DIXON'S GRAPHITE IN RACECARS
All of the entrants in the Metropoli-
tan Trophy Race at Sheepshead Bay
used Dixon's Graphite Automobile
Lubricants. And these men COM
prised what was probably the greatest
field of famous drivers ever gathered
together as participants in big race.
Most of them had won many trophies
in big speed events at home and
abroad during the past few years;
most of them had used DiXon's Lubri-
cants before and knew their worth
and dependability. Their continued
willingness to pin their faith on Dix
on's speaks volumes for the 1000
brand of lubricants, but the constant
repetition of Dixon triumphs will con-
vince those who are not "DiXon-lubri-
Gated" that they should be, and will
strengthen the confidence that the
overwhelming majority of the great
racing drivers have in DiXon's. Their
experience should serve as a signpost
to all other classes of drivers and
owners

H. F. Willoughby, local distributor
of Velie cars is busy demonstrating
the new Velie Model ga six-cylinder
car of exceptional merit selling for
S1,065. When this new Velle was first
announced the general question ad-
vanced was whether or not it would
live up to the lofty standard of quality
established by previous Velie cars, all
of which have been much higher in
price. A critical examination will dis
ciCse remarkable value even in this
low-priced Velie.

the sheriff was at Harrisburg on
Thursday morning to bring back Will

eloped to that city, the most import

here. Lewis Lawson, alias Jackson

way robbery and Thomas Armstrong,
charged with larceny, who were left
in the yard, used the old lumber of
