HIS COURAGE FAILED HIM
Quanah Parker, Chief Of comanche In
dams, Refused to Face Certain
Trouble in His Own Home.

Quanah Parker, chief of the Co.
manche Indians, who died some weeks
ago, enjoyed the reputation OF being
the wittiest man of his race. He was
likewise a man of affairs and some
thing of lobbyist. He had appeared
before the committee of Indian affairs
regularly for years, and the members
mately acquainted with him.
Two or three years ago Uncle Sam
issued a mandate to the effect that tho
Indians in the future should take unto
themselves but one wife. Quanah, ap-
pearing before the committee, told its
members that many Of the men of his
tribe had more than one wife. He
was admonished to 60 home and tell
them that this condition of affairs
could no longer exist and that tho
surplus wives must be sent home to
their parents.
Last session Parker again appeared
before the committee, and the follow
ing conversation took place between
him and a committeeman:
Did you tell your bucks that they
must have but one. wife, Parker?
Eyes, me tell 'um." responded the
Indian.
did you get rid of the extra
| wives?"
Eyes, all gone," answered the chief.
But" urged the committeeman. Il
am told that you yourself have SIX
! wives"
Yes, me got SIX" said Parker.
Now, this will not do. Parker. You
have to get rid of those extra wives.

A road test of the 1918 Packard
"3s" from Detroit to Chicago and re-
turn, made recently by S. d. Walden,

Car Company, developed a surprise

the smaller six-cylinder Packard a
final trial, with 10 idea in mind of
making extraordinary speed. A tour

ACCESSIBLE PARTS
IMPORTANT IN CAR
Problem of Easy inspection
Discussed by F. w. A. Yes
per, Of Buick Company.

F. w. A. Vesper, assistant general
sales manager of the Buick Motor
Company, of Flint. recently discussed
in an Illuminating manner the prob
lem of accessibility, with special
reference to whatthe Buick is doing
to make inspection of working parts
easy. Mr.. Vesper said:
"One of the demands made by the
user of the modern motor car is &C
feasibility, or the ability to inspect
working parts readily. In the Buick
Model 40 accessibility has been car
ried to a great degree as is prac-
ticable, that is, everything has been
made accessible except where such
accessibility would mean an adj
ditional part or reduction of eff
ficiency, which would cause the ac-
feasibility to be of less value to the
user than the ordinary construction.
ION the Buick 40-motor the ability
to remove heads allows the seating
of valves where the work can he
inspected and the operator assure
himself that the seat obtained is q
perfect one.
when the head is removed all
carbon deposit may be easily cleaned
out. Any piston, piston pin or con-
Meeting rod may be removed for in
spection without the disassembling
of the motor. Connecting rod bear
ings may be adjusted through hand
hole cover plates on the side of the
crank case.
THE rear axle is of the full float
ing type; the removal of the plate
at the back of the differential case
allows inspection and, if necessary,
the removal of the entire differen-
tial.
The adjustment of the third mem
Der is made by means of a collar at
the outer end of the third member
tubes. Such adjustment may, if de-
sired, be made when the car is in
operation so that the sound of the
gears may be noticed.
IF the bolts in the universal joint
are taken out the driving strut I'M
fastened at the reGr OF the trans
mission case, the outer end of The
third member may he dropped a few
inches, which will permit of taking
any or all of he transmission or

AS company's Guests $50 Disc
cuss Auto Trade Conditions.

About $50 dealers and statesmen
from the principal cities of the United
States and Canada were guests this
week of the Packard Motor Car Com
pany on a three-day cruise of the
Great Lakes. This was the annual
convention of the Packard sales
corps.
The steamer City of st. Ignace took
the party through Lake st. Clair and
Lake Huron, then down into Lake
Erie to Buffalo and return. The boat
left Detroit Tuesday and stopped in
Cleveland for a theatre party tk3
following evening.
The dealers were accompanied by a
number of Packard officials, includ-
ing H. B. JOY. president; S. D. Wal
don. vice-president; Avian Macauley,
general manager, and H. II. Hills.

In addition to business discussions
there were various forms of enter-
tainment, including concerts by the
Packard brass band.

it's a wonderful Improvement over

FALLACY ABOUT RED HEAD

rSee a red head and look for a

running motor is the W rendition
of this old popular belief, at least

This contention that spark plugs
