Record "1 27thYe Price Belief also is Relative SINCE 1897 the name Oldsmobile has been a synonym for dependable car values. But never in all those twenty-seven years has the name Oldsmobile meant so much to car purchas ers as it does today. The new Oldsmobile Six flatly refutes the old, time-established belief that low price means low quality. We must remember that what we are pleased to call low or high prices are only relative to what our previous knowledge has ordained that they should represent. Now, in the new Oldsmobile Six, General Motors Corporation has made possible a new price view point. For here in this sturdy new member of the General Motors family are high grade materials, newest engineering principles, careful workmanship, comfort, dignity and low expense of operation and upkeep—all at low first cost.

Alumni Day in 1924 can claim several marks of distinction to embellish its place in history. The weather was a factor in the success of the day which cannot be overlooked, the cornerstone of the Union Memorial building was put into place, the crowd of former students with their guests had the first opportunity to eat luncheon its in the new structure, at least within walls, they had a chance to greet the newly elected president of the College—also an alumnus—and heard the chief address of the day delivered by J. B. Cotton whom many alumni remember as a student and instructor. Threatening clouds of the early morning gave way to sunshine as the hours passed. Registration tables were placed near the new building so that there need be no crowding or waiting in line and the band was on the job throughout the program to aid in the entertainment and add the most desirable touch to the celebration. At noon the luncheon was ready and lines formed on the west side of the building where tables had been erected for the distribution of boxes. Some of the classes found it possible to get their members together in the building, some made their rendezvous under the trees near the building but most the it possible alumni found luncheon hour with their friends. spend to just over President Ranney called the meeting im luncheon using the first mediately after the cornerstone as a floor speaker's platform.

The difficulty of serving more than six hundred people was somewhat lessened through the accompanying lack of waiters and the de lays they cause.

" T h at something has been a dream since IQ15 when the graduating class pledged a The faculty splendid sum of money toward a building fund for an M. A. C. Union.

DOLLIVER SAN FRANCISCO ARCHITECT Cal.fornia Pines are used more than any other wood for doors, sash, m\llwor\ and interior finish. Mil' lions of doors and window sash and frames of Calv fornia Pines are annually installed in the homes of America. A 200'year supply of these woods now stands in the region where our mills oper ate. J\atural growth of standing Umber, augmented by natural reproduction and reforestation, assures a supply of these valuable building woods for all time. Send for this free book let for additional in formation about Cali fornia White Pine and California Sugar Pine. H O M E' ' California Pines For Doors, Sash &^ Trim THE ARCHITECT KNOWS the relative value of all woods used for doors, sash and interior trim. That is why he specifies California White Pine and California Sugar Pine, which are ideal soft woods for these uses—combining lightness of weight with sufficient strength to withstand years of every day use. For enamel or painted interiors, which require a soft-texture wood that presents a smooth, satiny surface, California Pines excel all other woods. The use of California Pines prevents sagging doors, jammed windows, warped panels, twisted moulding and open cracks in interior woodwork, because when properly treated these woods "stay put." California Pines are unusually free from resinous substances and "raised" grain—the whitest of white enamel retains its lustre without discoloration, checking, chipping or peeling. BUILDERS APPROVE the choice of California Pines, for they know of these valuable advantages. They save time and labor in handling and installing doors, sash and trim, because these woods are light of weight, cut easily and smoothly either with or across the grain, and readily take nails and screws. In- stallations of California Pines are more quickly completed—and installation costs are proportionately lower. DECORATORS APPROVE the choice of California Pines —they appreciate the architect's requirements in a peculiar way, for the final strokes of the decorator's brush complete the architect's design. And the smooth surface and light color of these woods require less enamel, paint and labor to obtain the finest finish the designer may specify. alilornia Pint ASSOCIATION CALL BLDC. SAN FRANCISCO.
