heard stifled cry of fright. He had

O'Rourke stood over him. with foot

coarse white blouse.
Wholly confounded, O'Rourke shook
an amazed head. A third element had
been added to the mystery with no
effect other than to render it more
opaque and dense than before.
The telephone. it's raucous voice

remarks with emphasis. For reply he

Couch looked up. He says he wants

ORourke fetched the hah-empty
carafe and Couch put it to the coolies

as he liked. But as soon as the bottle
was removed the fellow shut his
mouth like a trap and refused a word
in answer to the lieutenant's demands

VANbD|UM STEEL
 USED IN FORD CARS
The Ford Car the Only One Using
 Vanadium Steel Throughout

The assertion that the Ford Model is the strongest built car in the world. due to the use of Vanadium Steel throughout, is. we realize. a very broad claim and may De considered by some of our readers as eXtraya- gant and improbable. Numberless proofs are at hand. however, to sub stantiate the unqualified truth of this statement, but we are confident the results of recent tests made by the French government will afford amply sufficient testimony to satisfy the most skeptical The experiments in question were conducted by the Test ing Department of the ConservatOire National des Arts X Metiers, which is under the direction of the Minister du Commerce and de rIndustre of the French republic. At the conclu- sion of the tests, certificate-a copy of which we have the honor to pos sess-Was issued by the Laboratorie des Essais. containing a detailed table of the results. of which the following facts constitute a brief summary:
 A scientific and exhaustive compar- ison was made of two steering spindle
  mensiOns, one from a Ford Model T and the other from 8 noted French car, generally acknowledged as the best built car of French manufac- ture. Of ali the tests made the part from the Ford car proved distinctly the better in every instance. For the Ford, the elastic limit was given as 315 kilograms and only 295 for the other: Ford elastic limit per square millimeter 56 kilograms, BOA for it's competitor. In breaking, the Ford proved fifty per cent the stronger of the two. The pieces submitted to shock were identical in size, and again the Ford outclassed it's rival showing 3450 kilOgram meters absorption as against 3250 for the other steel. The data given above is necessarily tech nical, but as evidence of the highest possible authority we believe it will prove convincing and impressive to anyone interested in motor car prob lems. The splendid French car. which joined with the Ford in these tests suffers in no way from the pub fishing of the results, rather it's mak- CTS may feel gratified that there was not wider difference between the statistics of their machine and those of the "Vanadium steel car" the Ford Model T.

 That newspaper advertising cam paign carried out along broad and sweeping lines engenders unbelievable returns, is proven by the experience of the Henderson Motor Car company of Indianapolis who recently placed upon the market the new $13S5 Hen derson car. The executives of the Henderson company are not chary in their praise of newspaper advertising. It is their announced intention to continue their campaign along the lines already adopted.
