The Simple and Rugged Chassis
The foundation of the Oakland chassis is the
powerful 6H-inch-deep steel frame.
Reinforced by four very heavy cross
members, it forms stout and rigid support
for the body that will not weave or sag.
Every detail of the Oakland chassis is SINH
larly strong and lasting, from the drop-forged
steel spnng-hangerS to the precisely cut trans
mission gears of special tough alloy.
Feature after feature of advanced design is
included in its structure, such as the non

the special steering system, notable for Its
positive and easy action.
RoomineSS q Body Feature
Due TO the compaCtneSS OF the Oakland

has the roomiest body for its wheelbaSe of
any automobile built.
This body is of the composite type, being
constructed of enduring metal over a strong

The decline for the current week was
caused by further drops in plates. beams

States Steel Corporation, however, are
still the base prices adopted by that
corporation and other producers in

TN the past few years the one conspicuous
tendency in the automobile business has
Il been toward the we'll built, serviceable,
and light weight six-cylinder car.
Public and manufacturer alike have recog-
nized this type of car as best suited to the

AS far back as six years ago, Oakland seri-
ously undertook the production of an auto
mobile of this kind.

The Resources Behind the Oakland
We have attempted to tell you briefly here
why your next car should be an Oakland.
Perhaps the chief reasons are as yet unmen-
tioned-the record of the car itself and the
company behind the car.
In the six years we have been building the
Oakland Sensible Six, more than 200, 900 of
these cars have goneinto the service of owners.
Uniformly, these owners report perform
ance of the most reliable character, with returns
of from 18to25 miles to the gallon of ofgasoline,
and from 5000 to IL, 900 miles on tires
Thus the Oakland car of today is a known
quantity, a stabilized investment-its worth
has been established beyond doubt or question
under the conditions of actual use.
The Company that builds it is an impor-
tant unit of the General Motors Corporation,
the largest automobile producing organization
on earth, and is itself the seventh largest
producer of automobiles in the world
Every Oakland car reflects the policy of this
Company continually to embody in its prod
uCt the latest accepted engineering practice.
When may we demonstrate the Oakland
to you?

served and the music for the function
will be arranged by the Matinee Mu-
sical Club of this city. Two little

CLUB WOMEN IN ALEXANDRIA,

CLUB WOMEN IN ALEX XANDRIA
Hotel Bentley was the scene of an
interesting conclave of women on
Tuesday afternoon, when the repre-
sentatives of the eleven Federated
Clubs Of the city met to discuss ef-
fective methods Of raising Alexan-
dria's pro rata of the endowment of
the chair Of the State President.
Several years ago, it was realized
that the office of President of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs
could be filled by many gifted women,
who would reflect great credit on the
whole body if the financial burdens Of
the dignity were lifted from the pres
ident's personal excheqlsi. Hereto
fore, the State President has been
obliged to bear the expenses of her
tours of the State and her appear
ance at important gatherings and in
various cities herself. These expendi-
lures limited the office to women of
ample private means and caused many
brilliant women, whose election was
strongly desired by the Federation, to
refuse the nomination. Moreover,
the concensus Of opinion within the
State body was that it was most un-
just to expect the president to de-
fray the expenses for business, trav-
els or entertainments connected solely
with the activities of the Federation
as the price Of the dignity. It was
therefore decided to raise fund of
$4,000 to be invested as an endow-
ment fund for the executive chair.
Four thousand dollars of this amount
has already been secured, but no part
can be used until the whole amount is
collected and invested. Alexandria's
pro rata for her eleven Federated
Clubs is s434.5O. The women Of these
eleven clubs strongly desire to COL
lect their share Of the endowment be-
fore the State convention of the Fed
Grafton in Baton Rouge on December
l.
The meeting at the Bentley on
Tuesday was called together for the
purpose of devising ways and means
Of securing Alexandria's share of the
Presidential fund. In the absence of
the president of the eighth district of
the Federation, Mrs. j. W. Bolton, the |
chair was occupied by Mrs. S. b.
Staples, second vice-president of the
district. Among other plans proposed
and other arrangements which will be |
