Valentine Social

The Valentine Social given by the
members Of the First Baptist church
to the Baptist students Of the Normal
School on Monday evening was q most
enjoyable occasion. There was an alb
sence of the accustomed formality and
stiffness which usually accompany
such gatherings and everyone entered
heartily into the spirit Of the social
hour and the evening win long be
remembered by everyone present as
a delightful one. About one hundred
of the Normal students were present
and several members Of the faculty
as well as goodly number Of the
members of the First Baptist church
and Sunday School.
Mrs. T. d. Chenault, Jr. and Rev.
o. DIN Green sang the Barcarolle and
Miss Gladys Hancock gave very
Interesting reading. Brief addresses
were made by Mr.. L. p. Evans and
the pastor, Dr.. Green. Indentured
hearts were distributed 70 all present
and no little merriment was provoked
by each ones seeking his or her part
ner by matching the indentures. II
also proved TO be an excellent means
of promoting acquaintance among the
guests.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture Of the evenings entertainment
was the archers contest. Prof. ]. A.
Kunkle had prepared bows and ar
rows which were welded quite skill
fully and otherwise by both ladies and
gentlemen, using big red heart as q
target in each instance. Among the
ladies, the first prize went Ia Mrs j.
D. Bruner, who distinguished herself
as being the best marksman Of the
Occasion as she was the only one
among the ladies or gentlemen who
succeeded in hitting the mark. WAN
ling-the men with their howitzers
and machine guns had better watch
out IL the women get into power and
take to bows and arrows). The booty
prize among the ladies was won By
Miss Fannie Cravens, Of the Normal
who not only missed the target but hi
the cook in the next room In the rea,
LOT the building. However, no one had
Ito be carried home as the result o.
reckless shooting. As someone re
marked the safest place in the room
was where the target was.

Announcement FOR ALL MODELS OF THE
Oakland !: Sensible : Six

5000 per set of tires are usual, while re-
cords Of 1000 miles are not infrequent.
In fact we are constantly receiving letters
from Oakland owners telling us of tire
mileage even more impressive. (the 32x
4 tires are extra large for the weight car
ried. !.
Also, the records show that because
Of the firmly knit, well balanced con-
struction of these cars they remain re-
markably free from even common trou-
bles and hence entail little repair expense
In all Oaklands the low-setting bodies
with wide-swinging doors are very easy
to enter, the large seats afford ample
room for the proper number of occupants
and the leg space and deep upholstery
add immensely to their comfort.
The noted easy-riiding qualities of these
cars are the result mainly Of the combin-
alton Of long,, slow-acting, undressing
rear springs and large tires.
The Sedan and Coupe have individual
forward seats. In the Sedan the right
front seat may be swung against the IN
strument board to allow unobstructed
entrance to the tonneau-seat through the
rear door. In the Coupe it may be folded
under the cowl when only three persons
are carried In the car.
A new feature of these closed models
s an unobtrusiive heating device which
radiates clean. pure warmth on cold VIM
Ter DAYS, enabling occupants to take adj
vantage Of the ventlating features Of
these automobiles.

The broad utility Of Oakland Sensi-
bic Six Cars is the all-important result Of
their marked ability.
For busy persons, such as statesmen.
doctors, and women with many outside
activities the Oakland Sensible Six Coupe
and the Oakland Sensible Six Roadster
afford that extreme spryness and activity
highly essential in this class Of service.
For families, the Touring model and
the Sedan are notably able performers IN
traffic and on hills quick at the
getaway and instantly responsive at all
times to accelerator or brake.
Three important factors contribute to
their proves: the high-speed, overhead
valve six-cylinder engine with progress
siively heated manifold; the scientific
lightweight construction Of chassis and
bodies, and the distribution OF this weight
the short turning radius.
In all Oakands the high proportion OF
power to car weight is decidedly unusual:
Constant investigation has convinced
rs that Oakland Sensible SIX Cars cost
less to own, operate and MAINTAIN than
any other automobile built.
This statement applies to our closed as
well as open models due to the fact that
advanced construction has eliminated all
useless weight from the bodies OF the Tor
