Famed Orange Trees Grace Paris Summer;
Brought Out From Versailles Winter Home

Although after the Commune Of
1871 destroyed most of the build
ings of the Tuileries, the surviving
Imperial orangerie was turned into
picture gallery, that at Versailles,
more closely associated with the
kings of France, continued to per-
form its original function as the win
ter home for the orange trees in
their enormous tubs, brought in
each October from the Tuileries
gardens in Paris, where they are
on display each summer.
Mansart originally built it for
Louis XIV, whose 600 orange trees
were brought in the spring to line
the broad paths of the palace gar
dens at his sumptuous galas.
There are not nearly so many as
that today; but a few of those which
are still there date back to the
Grand Monarque, and more would
do so if the prisoners whom the
army of Versailles took when it was
fighting the Paris Commune in 1871
had not been shut up in the Or
angerie, and had not used the wood
of many of the orange trees to
warm themselves.
These trees of Louis XIV, as well
as many of the later ones which
were grown at Versailles, are said
all to have been cuttings from q

Anytime, I suppose. But darn

''No, I'll wait till she's herself
again." the other promised.
When Professor Brace was gone,
Phil returned upstairs, told Linda in
whispers what the other had said.
She said, vehemently: ooh, he's
always so-positive, and virtuous,
isn't he, Phil I think it's better to
bend little sometimes; not be
so stif1y good all the time"
She stayed for dinner. Mrs. Sem
try went early to bed, and Phil and
Linda were with Barbara when the
doorbeI rang. Phil went down and
admitted Dan; and Dan started to
speak, then checked himself.
"You all right, Phil?" he asked in
low tone.
"Sure!''
"You look-different, changed"
Phil said gropingly, s'Well, some
things changed, I guess" He tried
to explain. 'Did you ever swim in
fast river, Dan? A strong cur
rent, with stuff drifting in it? You
seem to be standing still, because
the drift around you isn't moving.
But if you look at the banks, they're
racing past. See what I mean?"
Dan nodded briefly, and Phil said:

months. AS though we were all

Dan nodded. 81 know what you

Phil said: "Better, think. I'm
sure she is. She's sure father didn't
do it, you know"
Dan made a rueful gesture.
"How's your mother?"
Asleep" Phil said. "Or at least
she's gone to bed. She's sort Of

why did Falkran put her on the

''You heard him, yourself, In his

"But why didn't Mr.. Flood cross

HE knew they had a conviction
without crucifying her."
Phil nodded. "Falkran wants to

said. 81 told him to wait a few

Dan hesitated. "Phil, if you ap-

Dan did not argue. "Can I see
Barbara" he asked.
So they went upstairs. Barbara's
eyes met them in the door, held
fast to Dams. Dan took her limp
hand, spoke to her; but Barbara
made no sound.
'Shucks," Dan urged cheerfully,
''you don't have to keep that up,
Barb!" He told her gently: cts all

famous and venerable ancestor,
which ended its life in the same
orangerie just before the beginning
of the present century, at the al
most incredible age of 473 years.
The seed from which it sprang was
sown in 1921 at Pampeluna by the
wife of Charles II, king of Navarro,
of which Pampeluna was then the
capital.
Later, the little tree was given by
a queen of Navarro to Anne of Brit
tany, and it afterward came into
the possession of the mother of
Francois I. He eventually took it
to Fontainbleau, and called it "le
grand Connetable.
When Louis XIV had his orangerie
made, he moved it there, and gave
it the new name of "le Grand Bour-
bon." Neither the fruit of this tree
nor that of those which have sprung
from it's famous stock has ever
been known to ripen.

Horse Sense About
Winter Oil Change

Cold weather creates new prob
lens in fabrication. To overcome
damaging wear, the motor oil
must possess three essential char
acteristics: ~ low cold test to
assure quick easy starts Cd abil-
ity to lubricate at all driving
speeds (3) durability to stand up
for reasonable mileage. Curiously
enough these requirements are
contradictory in that to assure one
factor it is very easy to llnbalance
another.
The only safe rule to follow in
preparing your car for Winter is
to buy the very best motor oil,
Acid-Free Quaker State.
The refners of Quaker State
were pioneers in developing motor
oils for Winter use. Today in four
great modern refineries the most
modern equipment and methods
transform the finest Pennsylvania
grade crude into motor oils which
make automobiles, trucks and
tractors run better, last longer,
the year round.
The low cold test of Quaker
State Winter Oil assures smooth
easy starts. It's purity frees you
of worry about sludge, carbon and
corrosion. Its ability to stand up
is unequalled you go farther
before you need to add quart.
It is merely commonsense to
practice economy. And the &C
cunnulated experience of car man.
ufacturers, engineers, and most
car owners proves that the use Of
high quality motor oil is genuine
economy. It is conservatively es-
timated by authorities that 80 to
90 per cent of all repairs to an
automobile are caused by faulty
or incorrect fabrication.
A wise man once said: s'It takes
IL months and sometimes longer
to correct mistake on farm"
Just so, five minutes running with
the wrong oil in the engine of your
car the first cold morning this
Winter can cause more wear and
damage than all the miles you
drove this past Summer.
Play safe with your motor in
vestment. Ask your dealer to pre-
pare your car for Winter with
Acid-Free Quaker State Winter
Oil of the proper grade for your
community.-Adv.

THREE COWS. INVITED

A large number of people from
Ashe and surrounding counties are
expected to attend the dedication
service of the new R. A.. Doughton
Memorial bridge on U. S. highway
No. Fl, near the Carolina Virginia
line on Labor Day, Sept. S.
The service will start at 10 o'clock

three states have been invited.
They are Gov. Clyde Hoey, Gov

lady from Grayson county, on
whose soil the bridge stands; will
unveil the marker which will be
placed on the bridge. 4
Plans for the celebration are un-

"The health work of our depart
