Through the unintentional kindness
Of two transcontinental railroads the

The laboratory whore the expert.

The equipment featured two through
freight trains. one on each Of the In

The experiment took place one au.

In due time the wrecking crew ar
rived and the damaged automobile
was shipped back to Detroit.
Superficially 1t looked a total wreck.
Its body, running boards and tenders
were crumpled and torn. Its radiator
was in pieces. Three wheels were de-.
molished clear down to the. hubs. The
new tires were cut and Jagged. The
frame was SO bent that the axles rest
cd at widely varying angles.
Under the direction of the engin.
GERS the car was stripped to the vital
parts Of the chasales The resulting
inspection was amazing. ~
The rear axle and transmission
unit was still perfectly true and the
pressed steel housing showed not
even a dent. The drive shaft was
bent and twisted at the point OF first
impact. but did not even crack. The
same was the case OF the pressed
steel torsion arm. Even the frame.
bent, buckled and battered, was still
intact. cross members and all. while
the motor and its internal mechanism
remained good as new. The wheel
was gone. but the steering gear was
otherwise complete. Three Of the de.
mountable rims were unchanged. the
other was lost.
When the engineers had figured
out impacts and stresses and car.
pared the results with the twisted
but still integral steel before them.
they agreed that automobile abuse
had reached it's limit but had fallen
far short of absolute destruction
Without the Intervention Of fire. they
confidently declare. no accident with

END MEETING
Two Hundred Branch Managers
Hold Interesting Convention
In Akron

Akron belonged to the Firestone
company. Oct. ITO. when over two
hundred branch managers, statesmen
and representatives of the firm gath
cred in the Rubber City for their an
nual sales convention. Eastern men
used a special car for the trip from
New York. Visitors from the west
met in Chicago and also used special
car for the journey to Akron. Little
was done the first day Of the con.
pied with meeting the travellers at the
station and directing them to the best
and largest hotel In town, several
floors Of which had been reserved for
them.
The hotel had been decorated in
side and out, and no efforts were
spared to make the visitors feel that
their welcome was genuine one
and that factory and city were theirs
during the convention.
On Wednesday morning. the branch
managers held their first meeting and
Thursday the formal organization Of
the convention was effected. The next
two days were occupied with address
es by department heads on the manu-.
facture and sale Of tires. and discus
sicns OF the points brought out. Tours
Of the tire and rim plants also we're
on the program. One OF the chief
things realized by the men was the
company's growth during the last
year. One addition has been made to
the tire plant and two new wings
are In course Of construction. These
will be finished in the spring and will
greatly increase the output.
A turtle. fish and chicken dinner
was given the men at a hotel near
Akron on Thursday night. The trip
from and to the city was made In q
large feet of automobiles. On Friday
night farewell banquet was given for
the visitors by the Firestone com.

FLAG nAY.

Saturday, June IA, will be celebrated
the one hundred and thirty-sixth an
niversary Of the adoption by the
continental congress of the Stars
and Stripes as the flag of the United
States Of America.
In all the wars in which our coun-
try has been engaged it was carried
gallantly and triumphantly by our
soldiers and sailors on land and on
sea. Because OF the yalor and sac
rifice of its defenders, no star has
ever been torn from It's field of blue,
but an addition of S5 stars mas been
added to it, together with more than
2OO billion in wealth and 80 million
people. The stain that so long dis
figured it was effaced by the blood
of its loyal sons, It is now honored
and respected by every nation on
earth, and it is eminently fitting that
one day each year should be set aside
on which to do it special honor, as
the emblem of whole free people.
Thus the national encampment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic has
named the 14th of June as Flag
Day"
The members Of Sherman Post No.
1, G. A, R., specially request that the
American flag be displayed over
every public building, in front of
every residence and in the show
windows Of every place of business

CLUB ROOMS Will BE
GREATLY IMPROVED
MASONIC BUILDING ASSOCIATION
DECIDES TO ASSIST THE COM
MERcIAL BODY

Secretary w. H. Stark of the Com
mercial club yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a letter from the Masonic
Building association informing him
that the Improvements which he ask
ed for on the rooms occupied by the
club would be made as soon as pos
sible. This improvement includes the
retinting of all the walls, new curtains
for the windows, hoods for the radia-
tors, rewaxing the floors and many
other new features which have been
needed for some time This will make
the club rooms a more inviting place
for the business men when they have
spare time to spend.
The club rooms have been in poor
condition for some time. The walls
are covered with smoke stains and
dirt, caused from the radiators, The
curtains that now hang over the win
dows have never been changed since
the club was organized, judging from
the present appearance. The improve
ments will be appreciated. AS a bust
ness meeting place the rooms will be
excellent, and as a social gathering
place they will be equal to any occa-
sion. The work will be started as
soon as possible

DAWSON a BANKING POWER.

DAWSON A BANKING POWER.
New York, June 49, Friday the
thirteenth" has never failed to at
tract attention in Wall street since
Tom Lawson published his book of
that title. But until today there
never has been anything to justify
the attention bestowed on the date
combining the hoodoo Friday and
the unlucky thirteen Today, how
ever the Street recalled the fact
that it was the birthday of Henry
Fomeroy Dawson. IN past years the
birthday anniversary Of Mr. DAWSON
was not noticed But the death Of
J, Pierpont Morgan brought about a
change, for Mr.. Dawson is now rec
bgnized as the most conspicuous
figure in the house Of Morgan-the
man who furnishes the dynamic force
of the great banking firm.
Mr.. Dawson is but 46 years old.
Twenty years ago he was a clerk in
bank at salary Of $500 a year
That was in the town Of Troy, Pa.
A few years later he landed in New
York and finally obtained a position
in the Liberty National bank. From
the Liberty National he went to the
First National bank His ability was
quickly recognized by MIR. Morgan
as soon as that astute financier
came into contact with him. In the
panicky days Of 1907, when there
were all-night conferences in the
Morgan library, Mr Dawson was
among those present The next year,
after the smoke had cleared away,
the young banker was taken into
the Morgan firm and soon assumed
position Of leadersllip
