SILVER FLASH
GAS POPULAR
Product Used by 100000
Motorists in Month.

The start Of the second year in
which Silver Flash Anti-KnoCk gas
Oline has been on the market has
been ushcred in, and the Western
Oil Refining Company which has its
headquarters in this city, is conf
dent that another record in the
way Of sales will be established be-
fore the summer months are over.
The fact that more than 100000
motorists drive up to the stations of
this company each month TO fill
their tanks from the green pumps
in all sections of the state leads to
the belief that the million mark will
be reached before the second birth
day of the new gasoline which met
with such wonderful success the
first twelve months it was placed
before the motoring public.
We attribute our remarkable
growth in sales for the Anti-knock
gasoline to one thing said Lucius
French, general secretary OF the
Western Oil Refining Company,
that being merit alone. When We
first placed the product on the mar
ket it was only after months of care
full experiment.
Not a gallon was sold until We
knew that we had just what the
public needed, a pure, undoctored,
crystal clear gasoline that would
meet with instant approval. one that
was best fitted for high compress
sion motors"

Death Warrant Theory

notion current in this country that
to take the presidential oath is to

issue Of the National Republic.
There was a good deal Of this

Presidents Younger
Though the presidency is I'M
doubtedly becoming more rigorous,
at the same time incoming Presi-
dents since the Civil war have been
rather younger than before.
Before that time the average age
was around SO, whereas now it is
around 81
However. those first Presidents
lived an average of 1914 years each
after they were inaugurated, where
as later ones have lasted only 11.8
years on the average.
Normal expectancy for man Of
so is rather more than the expec-
fancy Of ex-Presidents-1415 years.

The average age of retiring Pres

Dunbar believes that the wisdom
and experience gathered by q man
in the presidency should be utilized
in some manner in this country
after his retirement.
The usual obloquy into which the
American eX-President is plunged.

The Spokane woman. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1921-1935, 1929-06-27

The modern influence in interior
decorating is now an accepted fact.
The problem is not to introduce an
entire new scheme of things within
the home. but to add accessories OF
charm as we'll as modern feeling. The
machine age is being emphasized in all
the furniture and accessories.
Too often there is seen an effort TO
do over" rooms in some new style
This is entirely uncalled for. Certain
pieces of furniture are always lovely
and in good taste. And If enough effort
is used the modern spirit may enter
these rooms with just the right rug,
mirror, picture frame, cocktail shaker
or glass.
The modern spirit is not necessarily
linked with angles, lines and curves
in harsh colors. There may be unusual
treatments and unusual lines asso-
ciated with the new pieces, but they
can also be in good taste.
Pottery in the new idea can be
charmingly used in the room of old
time appeal and beauty. So also can
be the pewter, silver and glassware
that is so effective in its new treat
ment. The modernistic torchere. for
instance. sheds an enlightened glow
in the living room when 1t is properly
designed and executed. The modern
istically designed tea service, too. ex-
erts a note Of modern appeal that is
hard to resist when the lines are good
