EXISTENCE Of CAR
DEPENDS ON DRIVER
Intelligent Operation Means
Much to Efficiency, Says
Washington Dealer.

There is a vast difference between
the mere driving of a car and fntelE-
gent operation" said Robert III. Martin.
manager of the Buick Motor CcTpany's
Washington branch.
Merely TO drive a car means little. A
team of horses in the hands of novice
will cover the route. but their life ard
efficiency are shortened by incompetent
drivers. So with the automobile. The
proper shifting of gears and application
of power at the proper time determine
the efficiency and life of the whole
mechanism
What business man having a factory
with a power plant would consider
placing In charge a man knowing Only
how to start and stop the machinery?
Or. knowing this much himself, would
attempt 20 operate IL and expect con-
tinued and efficient service? Would ary
railroad company place in charge Of a
locomotive man of this type?
In both cases | have mentioned the
machinery represents an investment
and the investor rightfully expects sat
isfactory and prolonged service. but the
owner Of an automobile fails to realize
this. He requires IL to do more work
with less attention than any similar de-
vice known.
Although manufacturers design their
machines anticipating inexperiencs %
the part Of the operator. yet when one
considers the great variation in speed
demanded of a car and the vibration II
receives. due to every condition of the
road, Il seems most unjust to the car
and its maker to expect service IN re-
turn for abuse"

WILL EXPERIMENT
FOR 80 DAYS MORE
Connie Mack Satisfied If His
Boys Stick in Front Until
Pitchers Come Through.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. May ls.-'If we
can only stick somewhere near the
top for another month I'll be satisfied
with our chances I'm not expecting
any runaway race, and we might drop
out of first place before the thirty days
are UP, but we have to find out about
our pitchers" said Connie Mack, man
azer of the Athletics.
Though he has his team in first place
Connie is experimenting in one of the
most important departments-the twirl-
ing He has made no attempt to work
his men in regular order and that's one
reason he often uses two or three
pitchers in a game when the man who
started seems TO have it well in hand.
In Pennock. Wycoff, Bush, Brown, and
HoLck he has five promising yoEng-
sters. OF the veterans Coombs is on
the hospital list. ana there's no telling
when ne will be right again. Bender
is big winner. but he isn't the same
old puzzling redskin, and only Ecdie
Plank Is in topnotch form.
So it's up to the youngsters to furnish
two Of the four regular hurlers. And
Connie experiments continually to find
which of his youngsters are best fitted
for regular berths. Just ncw Brown
and Houck seem to have the call. but
Pennock. Bush and Wyckoff have also
shown good work, and one OF these may
crowd In.
I'll keep experimenting for thirty
days" said Connie. They're all grand
Young boys, and when l do pick the
ones 10 fill in with Bender and Plank
you'll see them working in order. one
pitching every fourth day. OF course.
when Coombs comes back, we'll have to
MAKE room for him, and with Jack in
the game again and with our STAFF of
we'll not have to take a
back seat for any club on the pitching !

A Car Rides Better
With Top Laid Back

Most motorists who do much coun-
try driving notice the car rids better
over a rough road. with the extension
top folded back says W. p. Barnhart.
the Pullman agent. But IL is a mis-
taken idea to believe that this better
riding is due entirely TO the Iessened air
resistance.
THE top of an automobile has con-
siderable weight. as every man knows
who has ever raised one without the
cid of a second party. When the top is
up this weight is carried far above
the center of gravity. This tends, of
course. 10 intensity the rock of the

No voice of complaint is heard in
the grove, no sigh of discomfort in
the garden. Sometimes flower
falls to the ground and is crushed
by the foot of passer-by. Does
it cry out with indignation? Oh,
no! 1t just fills the air with fra
GRANGE. So we. when wronged,
should not seek revenge, but
rather give back some of heav-
ems sweet fragrance of forgive
ness.
Then, too, how the flowers love
the light. The sun gives them
their life and beauty, so they turn
their faces up and smile back its
warmth and light. Christ is the
light of the world. His love
is the light of the soul. We should
ever turn our hearts to Him with
the same love and trust that the
flower gives.
God has thought it worth while
to sweeten our lives by surrounding
US with all the beauty of the .fow-
ers. How can we better show our
thanks than to take them to the

these smiles of God. Perhaps in

Edwards, who has been in the Berks

her husband, John Edwards. -Four
governors have failed to set a day
for her execution. She was sentenced

Lawyers have drawn up a petition
which will be presented to the Board

September II.
Mrs. Edwards was convicted of first
degree murder along with a negro.
Five days after Edwards was found

LATTICED SKIRTS ARE
LATEST IN SLIT APPAREL

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Sept. 4.-Lat-
ticed legs, fashions very latest man
date, have appeared in Fifth avenue
here. Three young women wearing
latticed gowns were followed up the
avenue by the curious of both sexes
and caused such a sensation that the
police had to dispense a crowd and
assist the girls aboard a street car.
The skirts were slashed from the
bottom to the knee. and the slash
was criss- crossed with brilliantly
hued ribbons of silk. The observer
caught more than a vague hint of
flesh tinted hose of very light ma
terial beneath the lattice work of
ribbons.
