HARRISON WRITES
OF AUTO TRADE
States That Big Sales Will Be
Made in San Francisco
This Year

H. O. Harrison. head of the H. o. Har-
rison company, coast distributors of the
Peerless cars, has written from Los
Angeles. where he is looking after the
interests of the company, that he has
put forth extra efforts in exploiting his
cars, and states that these efforts are
bearing fruit to greater extent in
San Francisco than anywhere else.
In Harrisons opinion, the Peerless
is. especially adapted to conditions in
this vicinity, and he has already made
score of sales this season He has
promised deliveries for every week in
September and October, two months
that he believes promise to be the
hea West in the year. The demand
seems to be for the seven passenger
touring car and the close coupled car.
The capacity of the Peerless factory,
Harrison said, was being tested this
year more than ever before and the
output was to be quality rather than
quantity. "A large rorce is working
night and day. Onc-sixteenth of the
output will come to- California, and
Harrison will handle 100 of these high
grade cars. They are being received
in carload lots.
There is a strong demand for Peer
less cars in San Francisco" Harrison
said. I'VE can easily sell our allot-
ment 1t is to be a question of more
cars If possible. We are going to make
a record for deliveries during the next
so days

of collecting for him specimens from

MENACE IN OCEAN DERELlCTs
Wooden Ships Frequently Rise to the
Surface and Become Grave
Peril to Sailors.

When a ship disappears beneath the
waters it is by no means certain that
it will never be seen again. 1t may
rise after a few days, or even a few
hours, and continue afioat for
months, a constant menace to naviga'
ton. This, of course, applies only to
wooden ships. When an iron ship
goes down it stays down.
Some years ago coal-laden schoon-
er collided with an unknown vessel
in thick fog at night hundred
miles from Capt Hatteras. The I'M
known continued on her way, and was
swallowed up in the fog, but the
schooner, with a great hole torn in
her bows. began to settle, and her
crew was launching the boats when
seen and rescued by passing south
ern liner. The abandoned ship was
then two-thirds full Of water and bows
under In less than ten minutes after
the crew had been taken off the
schooner's stern rose in the air and
she made her final plunge. AS she
went down the deck blew up, with a
noise like thunder. Two months later
she was sighted floating bottom up be-
low Cape Hatteras, drifting south in
the trend of the gulf stream. The ex-
PLANTATION of her resurrection was a
simple one. Her cargo had shifted
forward when the bow tilted down
with the thrush of the water and the
rolling of rough sea. AS she went
down the coal ran out through the
great hole there before she reached
the bottom, and, relieved of its weight,
she rose again, turning turtle as she
did So A ship with a broken back
is also likely to rise as soon as her
cargo floats out or disintegrates I'M
der the action of the salt water.
A wreck in ballast or with a light
cargo drifts with bows from the waves
If there is no current worth mention
ing, but in strong, swift current the
bow will face in the opposite direc-
ton to that in which the current is
moving.
A ship bottom up will float with
about an eighth of the depth of her
hull out of water, and in a heavy sea
will lie lengthwise of the waves
When a ship has been down long

The Proper Salute to the
Greatest of All
the Flags

many have laid down their lives to
save"
One day there came letter to me,
all to my own little self, from my IA
Their, written on the battlefield OF
Shiloh. The envelope had little flag
in the left corner and had a narrow
border in blue and red around 1t. Sta
tionery was thus decorated in those
war days. He had been wounded
slightly in the shoulder and must go
to the hospital. He wanted to write
to his darling child" himself, so that
If his name appeared among the
wounded or killed in the daily papers
l might know the truth. While he
wrote a large smooth chip of wood
served for his writing desk and his
back was braced against the huge for
est tree from which the chip had been
cut by some woodsman when the bat
tie began. This friendly tree protected
him as he wrote from the bullets,
which were still flying, although the
tide of battle had turned in favor of
the union.
My father did not write how he had
received the wound, but learned aft
erward. During the fight-indeed, at
the crisis-a standard bearer was shot
through the head and he fell to the
ground, bearing down the flag with
the staff broken in twain. My father,
standing near, saw it fall, and rushing
to the spot raised the flag and carried
it with both hands high as his arms
could reach onward to the thickest of
the fight The regiment rallied and
followed with all speed, and, alas!
was cut to pieces.
My fathers cap was shot from his
head and he was wounded in the Shout
der, but his, act, l have been told,
helped to save the day.
That impressed me greatly-the fact
that my father had risked his life to
keep that flag aloft. Surely thought
in my childish brain, as l tried to
reason 1t all out, 1t must be something
very, very great, and 1t would be a
very, very wicked little girl or boy
who could ever see that noble banner
and fail to salute it.
At that time 1t was not customary,
and few ever did 1t. Now 1t is gener-
ally observed; the only question
raised is, What particular way is the
best? l have seen many different
forms of salute, and have read Of many
others. but to my mind there is none
sweeter nor quainter than the one
employed by a noble old lady and a
little child, bowling low from the
waist. with the right hand just raised
to the forehead, then brought down
to the right side in grateful and loving
salute to the greatest of all flags
the Star-Spangled Banner.
