the advertising columns for motor ad-
vertising as well as for department store
news. Tests of sales in various local.
ties show that the newspaper is most
effective medium in reaching women
who own electrics.
When interviewed on the subject of
newspaper advertising, Mr.. Mcclellan
declared that he knew of no better way
to sell tires to women than through the
daily press, because in the cities where
the Motz cushion tire has supplanted
the newspapers to a large extent, 1t
has also been found that the largest
increase in sales occurred In the locali-
ties where the greatest amount of
newspaper advertising was placed.

Rapid Assembling Of
Cars Proved By Ford Co

"The rapidity with which automobiles
are made In the plant of the Ford Mo-

a gang assembled a car complete and
ran II off under its own power IN Just
two and one-half minutes" said Charles
E. Miller. Of Miller Brothers, Ford
agents here.
'.The operation was performed for the
benefit OF a moving picture concern and
the picture will be shown throughout
the country. Under the manufacturing
schedule now current at the Ford plant
a car is produced every forty seconds,
but. of course. a number Of cars are
assembled at the same time. For the
motion picture machine. however. the
entire operation was gone through
singly." .-....--

But he could see for himself that
the mechanician was not seriously In
jured, without Floyd's reassuring nod.
Call me what you like" Stanton
permitted, between clenched teeth. as
he dragged out his handkerchief to
bandage the slender arm.
The appalled, crowd was upon them.

right the car. We've got to be movin'

There were plenty Of sympathetic
helpers. Incredible to the witnesses,
but as Floyd had foreseen, the Mer-
curry had not materially suffered. The
big car was righted oy fifty hands;
Stanton and Floyd-unaided, accord
ing to racing rules-put on the new
tires, and took their seats amid hearty
admiration and good wishes.

had been hurried changing to the
scene of the possible tragedy, the Mer-
curry whirled past the judges, running
more comet-like than ever.
But Stanton took the turns conser-
vatfvely; for him. %
The race was lost. Even Stanton
could not regain the half-hour lead
given his competitors. Late in the
fourth hour he signaled Floyd to lean
closer, and when he was obeyed:
where's the Duplex" he ques-
toned eagerly.
"At it's repair pit for the last hour"
Floyd made hopeful answer. "An'
there's only the Atalanta ahead of

Stanton shook his head, but let out
his car little faster.
The Mercury came across the line,
at the finish, just five minutes behind
the Atalanta; to receive fully as great
an ovation as the winning car. The
spectacular driving. the record Of the
fastest lap and highest speed ever
made on that course, the second place
won in spite Of the accident, almost
eclipsed the Atalanta's victory.
In the midst of the joyous tumult,
Floyd descended, stiff and weary
enough after the continuous run of
five hours and fifty-eight minutes. But
Stanton did not follow; leaning upon
his steering-wheel, the focus Of snap

blended congratulations and sympa-
thy. Only when one of the judges
