MIR. DRENNEN RETURNS
FROM DETROIT

Hubert Drennen of the Cadillac re-
turned yesterday from Detroit. where
he has been visiting for several days
getting line on the Cadillac car foI
next year. He said yesterday that he
was carried over Detroit in one of tho
new 1914 cars and that it was a per-
fectly marvellous proposition. MIR. Dren-
men said that the official data in con-
nectlon with the new car was not to be
given out until some time during Au-
gust. He was able to say. however
that the car would be a four cylinder as
the Cadillac prefers not to make any
skies. The fact that all the higher
priced cars are going in for the skies
is said has not influenced the Cadillac
to change their policy in reference to
the added cylinders. Mr.. Drennen said

MIR. GAFFORD
ON TIRE SAVINGS

Mr.. Gafford in advising tire owners
as to the action of heat on their tires.
says:
Almost everyone is aware of the fact
that neat causes air to expand. but
there are many owners of automobiles
orlVlng their first cars who have not
realized the effect this commonplace
natural law has on tires A thorough
appreciation of the relation of tempera-
lures to tires is necessary if one is to
arrive car with the greatest economy
and even with the greatest safety.
Tires of certain diameters take cer-
tam pressures If they are properly in
hated. The temperature rises so high
these hot summer days that the air in
the tires expands and initiates the tires
beyond the maximum of pressure
While the tires may not always, as. a
result Of this high pressure, blow
through the casings they may blow the
casing off the rim. 1t is therefore ad-
Vlsable during the hot period to keep
the air pressure down and, generally

that the Cadillac for 1914 would even
be more attractive and a better propo-
s1tion than the 1912 or the 1918 Cadil-
lac. On that basis Mr. Drennen has
convinced some of his friends that the
new Cadillac may turn out to be
rather nifty proposition.
Business, he said, looked fine and the
opinion was that increased outputs

parture, he was in state of absolute
collapse Rooms were Immediately en-
gagged at a fashionable hotel adjoining, to

nirg it was found necessary to remove
him to a nursing home, where he still
remains Much sympathy is felt for the
bride under the circumstances, and her
family are understood to be anxious that
she should not rejoin her husband. AT
present she is absolutely deaf to any such
appeal.
Contrary to the general impression,
King Akphonso takes his kingly duties as
seriously as any other Monarch, and
despite his reputation as a lover of
amusement-he Is both industriott and
conscientious in performing the multiple
duties of state. He gets up with lark
at O'Clock, to be precise-and starts
work almost Immediately. The signing
of important documents and interviews
with his ministers are only among the
least arduous of the tasks that confront
him. and he is fully occupied till o'clock
the hour for luncheon The afternoon is
consecrated to sport and exercise, such
as hunting, polo, and motoring; after
which King Alphonso returns to the pai-
ace for O'Clock tea.
More work until eight, when, of course
a eeremonious affair; for not only are
King Alphonso and his family present,
but also officers of the guard, and ladies
of honor.
Hardly an evening passes, but there is
something in the nature of state ban
quet, and a diner en- famille is, to the
great regret of the King and Queen, prac-
ttcally unknown in the Spanish court. Af-
ter dinner, his majesty sometimes visits
the theatre, but more often there are
more urgent state affairs to be attended
to that will brook no delay. sThe young
King is entirely free from false pride,
and there is no more approachable mon
arch in all Europe. His liberal SYM
pathies are well known, and his recent
reception of Ascarati, the republican lead
er. set all Spain talking and wondering

Before the coming of the motor car. It
was common occurrence for farmer
and his family. living 20 or 80 miles from
the railroad, to spend their entire lives
cooped UP in their own little circle, with
little or no knowledge of the big things
going on all around them.
To-day We find the farmer a bigger fac
tor than ever before, in the history of
the world. He is no longer looked upon
as mere producer of foodstuffs, neces-
sary for the general welfare of the coun-
try, but as an important citizen, to whom
we owe the lions share of our great
prosperity.
