I thought it would work, but evidently the preacher bad bees caught before or was seriously study ing his teit. for he shot the gas to his flivver and did a Barney Old field stunt of running by on two wheels as he curved around us and went on his way. The young lady turned around and shook her fist in the di rection of the fleeing minister and said 'just for that I'll feed you peat and onions next time you come to our home, instead of chicken and cake.' We had waited almost an hour and soon another car hove in "sight.

Surprise and embarrassment In creased with lightning rapidity while the traffic officer outlined the course of the law and friends of the ladies drove around. Thev Insisted that ncy were in a nurry to make a so cial call and that the hour set forth on the Invitation had already arriv ed, that they meant no harm and wouldn't break a law. Being of good disposition, the officer clearly lowed it, and the ladies referred to y eii Battle Lewis In her wrltin?s as "Raleigh s big Imps at the wo men's camp," decided upon a plan of '"If ral" procedure. They Implored the officer that la view of their Identity they b re- leaaea.

The remainder of the trip was made without any spectacular high gear work. "Another thrill to summering in the mountains." said Mrs. Daniels. as the story was related to the hostess and passed around in good natured fashion. "Dictators at the women's ramp cannot dictate to Asheville police men." said Mrs. Bickett, camp com mandante. and Mrs. Griffith, with a laugh declared. "Well, we might have been pinched."

Mrs. Harrell, the Marshvllle lady, Is uot the only one of the tair sex that gets her confidence jarred ana .shaken up by the antics of some of our local autoists. And theieby bangs a story. "Four girls and my self were out riding a few days ago and we were wending our way to ward the church where a big meeting vas in progress," said a young men. "We had not Ronu far when 'tire's down said one of the girls in the rear seat. We got out and took a look and sure enough It was. I se cured the Jack and up went the wheel and off went the tire; and in a few tiiitnitfs we had patched a hole about as big as a redbug's eye. but large enough to let out sixty-five pound! of air, and sum were on our way. We had hardly got a mile when the girl on the other side said 'I believe this tire Is flat,' and sure enough It was. In a few niinuies the tire was agnin on, and I was working the le ver on the pump like a negro on a band car, and If It had been one, I think I could have made it fraro Monroe to Charlotte with all ease. 'Now,' said one of the girls, 'trou ble never conies single-handed, and j t have had It twice, let's go.' We cranked ud and got at least two hun rfred yards when down went the tire again. Off came the tire again ami this time the gnat's eye was found and the patching can was brought forwasd. I had got that far when 1 remmibered that I had used about all the cement on the other patch. Wc squeezed and pinched and re-rolled our cement tube but not enough to dot the letter I with could be In duced to rhow Itself, so we sat down and vegan to meditate why tubes ' were not made of sheet Iron. And one of the girls who had been to sum mer school said that she thought thai some of the steak that she ate would make Indistructible tires. We had got this far when a great Boise was beard behind us and we fell to bet-, ting whether It was a Ford or a run away team to a wagon. The former won and It was seen thst it was two well-known ministers. I stepped for ward to flag them, but one of the Sir's pulled me back and said, let ' . ;i V-:.. , C ii , 1 lie jr&s Refiner takes on a new Responsibility REPRESENTATIVES of the automotive and refining industri es recently decided that much of the task of instructing mo torists as to the proper functioning of auto mobiles must fall upon the manufacturers of motor fuel and lubricating oils.. The Standard Oil Company (Net- Jersey) had long before gladly assumed its share of this responsibility. It realized that the auto mobile builders had little opportunity, after the sale had been made, to advise with those who bought engines, trucks or pleas ure cars. Branch sen ice stations furnished their only point of contact with users of their equipment. Refiners of gasoline, on the other hand, have almost daily dealings with motorists and chauffeurs. Gasoline engines have been so far developed that fuel quality has become almost more of a problem than mechanical perfection in 'the motor. Accurate understanding of the many deli cate considerations involved in the making of a 100 motor fuel in quantities suffi cient for every demand has always re strained this company from making claims for "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE which could not be justified immediately by every purchaser of the' product. Our Development Department is constantly studying possible improvements in the quality of our products wherever fhe im provement in quality seems consistent icith complete and dependable uniformity. We arc the largest refiners of petroleum prod ucts in the World, drawing on practically every section of the Western Hemisphere for crude oil. . Our unhesitating advice to every motorist is to' realize the advantages of this research work by using "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE. .This course will, in the long run, insure engine efficiency more surely than it can be secured in any other way.
