FOR MORAL SUASION

EDITOR STAR:-Prohibition or no
prohibition, that is the question and
it's a rather momentous question what
ever anyone may say to the contrary.
This is a question which everyone
must decide for himself which is the
better thing to do, and vote accord
ingly. But it should be considered on
broad lines, and for its far reaching
effect Neither should it be decid-
ed by our own personal taste, likes
and dislikes, interests, etc, so much
as to decide what is best for humanity
at large.
1t is beginning, more than ever, to
be considered that a man, no matter
whatever his calling or occupation
may be, fails of his duty who does
not take an interest in and try his
utmost to benefit his fellow men, and
particularly those who are in need of
help and a guiding hand. This he
does not do alone for the benefit of
IhOse IN need or 1t, but because he
knows that what is bad for the great
majority will in the end be bad fc~
himself. There seems to be no ques-
ton about this liquor drinking, when
carried to excess, being bad. Indeed
nothing could be very much worse, or
bring more suffering to those unfor-
Inmates who are addicated or slaves
to this habit. And there can be no
question that whatever can be done to
eliminate this evil would accomplish
a great deal of good
But people are asking is there no
other way than total prohibition. Why,
for instance, has no great crusade
been made to fight this thing? Why
are there no temperance societies, no
blue ribbon societies, Father Mat
hew, or others ocieties of the kink
or if having them, why are they un-

AND GROOM RIDE
IN AUTO ON HONEYMOON
Mr.. and Mrs. Chapel of Santa
Barbara Drive Flanders 20

On the Pacific coast, where roses
bloom the year round and all weather
is motoring weather, honeymooning in
an automobile is becoming a practice
from unique. Not all brides and
grooms who have employed this form
of a wedding trip are able to enjoy
it as have Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Chapel
of Santa Barbara, who recently passed
through san Francisco,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chapel are expert mo-
torists and are able to take turns in
driving the Flanders "20' in which
the trip is being made. The car is the
wedding gift of Mr.. Chapel to his
bride. Prior to the wedding the fair
motorist owned and drove two touring
cars. but the little Flanders appealed
particularly for the uses of trip in
which two people only were to be pas
sengers.
The Chapels have been motoring
along the scenic routes of California,
stopping wherever they pleasd and
finding the ample luggage capacity on
the rear deck of the car of great value.
They will probably prolong their trip
for 1000 miles before returning to Santa
Barbara.

AVERAGE OF 150 MILES
DAILY ACROSS CONTINENT
Fifteen Miles Per Gallon of Gaso-
line, /. A. to New York

DR.. w. NJ Roads, who left Los An
peles in his Studebaker "40" about the
first of June, has some very interesting
data concerning his trip across the
continent. He kept an accurate log
of mileage and gasoline consumpuoh'
he Travelled 6OO6 miles in thirty-tiVe
days. his lowest days mileage being
$50 miles: his average mileage on gas
oline between Los Angeles and Ogden
Utah, was twelve miles, and between
Ogden, Utah, and New York City fit-
teen miles. This mileage is remarkable
considering the condition of the roads
and the fact that the car was a large
seven passenger. 40-horsepower ma
chine. Absolutely no trouble of any
kind was experienced with the ma
chine over the total trip, which in
cluded some roundabout runs, such as
going from Chicago to Cincinnati and
I'D into the New England states. No
trouble was experienced in obtaining
gasoline or lubricating oil.
DR.. Roads reports that on the whole
trip he did not find but one small
patch of sand, about sixty feet across,
in which he had the least difficulty.
It took him about an hour to get
through this sand, which was accom-
plished by use of sagebrush and can
vas. At one place he had to travel
across the desert over sagebrush which
was as high as the top of the ma
chine and which naturally did Consd-
erable damage to the top and the finish
on the car. Outside of these two in
stances, the trip was fraught with no
hardships of any kind and the doctor
is very prOfuse in his description of the
beauties of the trip.

tory of our business
"Our changes for 1911 will be slight.
With greater reserve power, six-cylin-

thing out-a splendid transmission, an
effective three-disc clutch and other re-

as if we are now one to two years

itors. Everyone with a grain of au-
tomoblle knowledge can tell by
glance at the power plant, clutch, uni

mechanisms that it is the most artistic
production from a mechanical stand

a glance they will see how much more
modern and expensive it is than cars

GERMAN INVENTION CUTS
OUT PNEUMATIC TIRES

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-The gov
ernment has a report from Germany
stating that retired German army
officer has solved the great problem
of the automobile-the elimination of
the expensive and unreliable pneu-
matte tire.
In describing the army officers IN
vention the report says: He has
shifted the point of elasticity to the
axles of the wheel by an ingenious
angle lever system. The result is
astonishing. The inventor uses ships
cables for tires, but even with wooden
wheels he can maintain a completely
elastic course over cobblestones and
country roads, as the bolts are no
longer up and down but move in a hor-
izontal plane forward and backward.
He can even cross the curb without
the occupants of the automobile feel
ing any appreciable jolt"

for 1911
TO CATER TO SELECT TRADE

In speaking of the future policy of
American automobile manufacturers,
e. r. Thomas. president of the E. r.
Thomas Motor company at Buffalo, re-
Gently voiced the opinion that ultimate
and lasting success must eventually
be won in the automobile field by an
exercise of even greater conservatism
than is applied to older and we'll
grounded high-class industrials.
"Other manufacturers may boast or
their enormous sales and production" ]"
says Mr.. Thomas, but we pride our
selves on our small production and
large plant for the following reasons:
We built and sold 115S cars during the
season 1909-1O. We will make only 1892
cars for the 1901 season beginning
with August. We want only siX-tenths
of l per cent of the automobile bus1-
ness of this country. We now have
but two models instead of four, as
during last year. and we can easily
build that number of cars in daylight
at nine hours a day.
our manufacturing facilities have
recently been increased more than 30
per cent. We have just completed
100000 addition to our plant and ma
chine equipment for the sole purpose
of eliminating night, Sunday and rush
work, now so prevalent in automobile
construction, and which is so expensive
and so destructive to accuracy and
good workmanship. We have cut all
the hurrah, joy riding, entertainment
and other foolish, non-productive eX-
penses out of our business. We don't
want any larger business than we have
now. We are tired of being rushed to
supply demand beyond our capacity.
We want a normal business. We want
a safe business.
1--WE want to do business with nice
people. We have selected our trade
and shall continue 20 do so. We want
to have time to take care of our GUS
toners. We really care more for our
reputation and high standard than for
the mad rush for great business and
great profits. We know there will be
two cars demanded for every car that
we build A $4,000 bonus will not in
duce us to build a single car more
than our stated output.
1--WE hope always to keep the plant
and name individual We hope to
make it a hall mark in automobiles.
We hope to maintain such a reputa-
ton for supremacy that regardless of
financial conditions and competition
we will be able to sell our six-tenths
of / per cent without aggressive effort

HUNTING ANTELOPES IN
MONTANA BY MOTOR CAR

Antelope hunting in Montana is one
of the keenest sports in which the
natives of that state indulge, and like
many other pastimes it has felt the
growing influence of the motor car.
One of the wealthiest ranchers in Mon
tana who has profited by the general
adaptability of the automobile is G.
p. Morse of Billings, who, in idle
periods, spends much time hunting the
elusive antelope and entertaining
friends in motor cars.
Mr.. Morse bought two Maxwell tour
ing cars over five years ago, and he is
still using them for all sorts of pur-
poses. He has long since discarded his
horses and wagons, having found that
the Maxwell cars take him to and
from the hunting ground quicker than
horses, and he is also enabled to do
great deal more scouting, frequently
pursuing the antelopes into the foot
hills of the mountains and the rugged
country in which they abound.

.UNDER-T -THREE-FLAGS CAR
IN MEXICO DRY LANDS
Natives Give Water to Crew Free
of Charge-Heat MeItS
Goggles

In stretches of country where for
sometimes as much as forty miles
there is no water available, supply
for the crew of touring motor car
and for the car itself becomes really
the most important feature of the trip
The Flanders go" Under Three
Flags" car now passing through the
northern and most sparsely populated
section of Mexico, has up to date eX-
perienced no difficulty in this respect,
however. That such is the case is
partly due to the foresight with which
the trip was planned, but more partc-
ularly to the invariable generosity OF
the people who inhabit the region.
To accept money for water in
country where the supply often has to
be drawn by burros for miles in little
two wheeled carts is apparently con-
sidered very bad form in Mexico. To
refuse to give on the request OF a
thirsty wayfarer seems to be regarded
as a cardinal sin. The Mexican poems
appear to regard it as real pleasure
to oblige in this respect, and any ten
der of payment is regarded with good
natured amazement.
The Flanders "20" "Under Three
Flags" car is carrying about four gal
Ions of reserve water in two large can
vas bags, which keep the supply cool
and palatable. Another great help to
securing a pleasant drink is supply
of cracked ice in a thermos bottle. This
is renewed daily and has never failed
yet Ice is available in nearly all the
little Mexican towns, for in this cli-
mate it has become one of the real ne
cessities of life.
The pleasant qualities of big, cool
drink really require the setting of the
northern Mexican dry lands for appre-
ciation The heat of the region in July
is something terrific. Lampazos. the
first town of any size south of Nueva
Laredo, is said to be the hottest town
on the continent. 1t is walled in by
mountain ranges and gets practically
all its water from the railroad well, 800
feet deep. All streams for twenty
miles on either side have been dry for
two years. The Flanders "20' swirled
in on the crest of the daily alkali dust
storm. When this was encountered
Pilot Lane delved into the tire trunk
for his goggles To his amazement
the rubber which forms the frames for
the glasses had simply melted and
fused into a shapeless mass from the
results of the heat.
"T'll never dare tell this to the fell
lows back in Detroit" said Lane. "They
simply wouldn't believe it." That day
the thermometer in Lampazos regis
tered 11S degrees Fahrenheit in the
shade.
