Claire kept snug and warm.
She had wool-lined gloves and a
wool scarf, worn Ascot fashion about
her neck.
Some of the girls had worked out a
clever idea. They had taken the old
steamer rugs which used to be part
of every family's equipment. They
found the exact center of the rug. BY
making slit large enough to go over
the head comfortably, cutting out a
space TO fit around the neck and zip
pering the rest Of the slit closed after
the rug was over the head, they had a
covering something like the poncho
worn by soldiers in rainy weather.
BY wearing wool stockings and wooden
gloves they kept both hands and feet
warm, too.

Who pays for the road which passes

Do we still get the ten thousand

work? WE MIGHT!
Why can't that road be relocated

while if the disease is influenza the
chances Of contracting the dread

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Good people of Burton. and think
this over.
Lock at the back OF your tax state
ment and you will find listed one
hundred and eight school districts in
King county, with an average school
levy of 1888 mills,
It is interesting to know that in
1910 the average levy was 40 mills and
thirty districts with no levy at all.
This year. District No. 2l1 Burton
Consolidated has levy of ten mills,
in the county there are eight districts
lower, seven the same, and ninety
three higher, some running as high as
SO mills.
Not so bad for Oil, is it2
On the Island the school levy of the
different districts is as follows: Cove,
49, Center, Z; Consolidated 10; Maury,
l6; Lisabeula, IS; vashon, 10; High
School, u. %.
Would 1t not be good business If
Maury, Center and Lisabeula would
come in to the consolidation? Then
we could all have the minimum of a
levy and a school equal to the best of
city schools. With our high school

QUAKER STATE
LEADING FIGHT
OF INDEPENDENTS


THE owners of independent serV-
ice stations and garages nave found
a new champion for their cause in
Quaker State Motor oil, announced
J. E. Mccormick, vice president and
general manager OF the Quaker
State Oil Refining company OF
California.
Our firm believes so strongly IN
the Importance to American busl-
ness of the independently owned
and operated service stations and
garages that our entire newspaper
advertising schedule now appearing
in newspapers throughout the Unit
ed States is explaining the impor-
tance of these dealers to their COM
munities," continued Mccormick.
Thousands of letters are on file
in our office expressing the opinions
of prominent and thoughtful AM
erican men and women who feel
that the foundation of American
business calls for the support OF in
dependently operated service sta
tions and garages, and interesting
paragraphs from these letters are
quoted in our newspaper advertise
ments. These letters state in a
clear, concise way the necessity fof
all buyers of gas, oil and accessories
to patronize their independent
dealers. and our firm has been
; highly commended upon their ac-
ton in turning the eyes OF the mo-
toring public to this important con-
d1tion.
The advertising of Quaker State
Motor oil has been made secondary
to what we feel to be the more i'm
portant mater at this time, although
the famous green and white Quaker
State sign and the slogan There's
an extra quart of fabrication il

is included in every advertisement

CONVERTIBLE LECAR
TYPE POPULAR in
CHEVROLET Line

The open car has become the
aristocrat OF the motor car business.
1t was not SO long ago that the
closed car was the last word III mo-
tordom Those who could afford
something luxurious, bought en-
closed cars and they cost a great
deal more than the open models.
Then came the day of quantity
production methods, and closed cars
now constitute by far the larger
part of all motor car production.
AN answer TO the problem of
open and closed car ownership is
the convertible coupe, which can be
used as a roadster with the top
rolled down and becomes a coupe
with the top up" stated E. w. Fuhr,
Pacific regional manager of the
Chevrolet Motor company.
Chevrolet introduced the CONVEX
tible car early this year and has
produced thousands of them. Lhe
comfort feature of this type of car
is that the windows, which slide out
OF sight, inside the doors when
rolled down, can be raised and used
as wind wings when the car is used
as roadster. When the top is up
and the car is a coupe the windows
fit well, keeping out the wind and
rain.
With the coming of summer, de-
mand has arisen for roadsters, 100.
In order to supply this demand,
Chevrolet has increased production
in plants throughout the United
