TT Is not always the ablest and best
trained physician who gains the largest
@ practice and the greatest fame. Many
reasons have been suggested for the failure
of large numbers of graduates of the best
medical schools and DR.. T. D. Crothers,
superintendent of a Hartford, Conn, hospi-
tai, finds new one in what he considers the
lamentable lack of musical, we'll trained
voices among members of his profession.
knowledge alone does not constitute the
difference between failure and success, says
DR.. Crothers, but the persons capacity to
apply this knowledge in a practical way. Such
application is impossible unless a man can
express his thoughts effectively and to do
this requires good speaking voice.
The greatest musical compositions of the
world if presented ON broken, discordant, in
harmonious instruments would attract very
little or no attention. In the same way the.
human voice, out of tune, broken, Earring, un-
trained, can never convey facts and thoughts
in their proper setting.
The human voice is capable of as thorough
training and as high development as the
intellect. 1t is an instrument of marvellous
capacity, almost beyond our power at present

Popcorn growing interests the children, who are us

Why does popcorn pop? On this subject there has
been good deal of dispute, but the fact seems to be
that popcorn pops because of the expansive power of
steam. grain of popcorn is receptacle filled Wit

CHANsLOR SPEAKS
ABOUT HIGHWAY
People of State Must Work
Hand in Hand to Make Lin
coin Highway a Success

The people of southern California
and northern California and especial
" the automobile owners must get
together in a vigorous cooperation
movement at once says Walter G.
Chanslor of Chans1or & Lyons com
pany, who has just come up from Los
Angeles to visit the local house of the
company.
Chanslor says: Now that the trans
continental highway has been selected
and that San Francisco is the ter
minus. it is of great Importance, not
only 10 Los Angeles, but to San Fran
cisco to see that a highway is COM
pleted through the southern part of
boundary. 1t is of advantage to the
state to have the visitors to the fair
continue on in their motor cars to
the southwark and also the same adj
vantage is to be gained by those in
Oregon and Washington by having
a perfect road over which to motor
to the north. If these roads are not
completed it means that the visitor
will stop when he reaches San Fran
cisco and not proceed much farther.
or he will only travel as far as the
good roads continued.
''The visiting motorist will not be
able to see everything in the state
that it has TO offer. This would mean
that all the stories about the great
ness of California will fall short of
their expectations and they will go
away much disappointed. The people
of San Francisco must join hand in
hand with the southern part of the
state and the southern part of the
state with San Francisco in select
ing route between the two cities. At
the present time there is what is
known as the coast and the valley
routes. The state highway commits
sion is doing good work on both of
these highways, but efforts should be
concentrated on one of them to see
that it is finished and completed by
the beginning OF 1915.
This will not be possible IL the
enthusiasts and the people in gen.
eral of both the north and south do
not get together and force a direct
movement on one Of the two routes
which one should be selected is not
the question. The question is one
must be selected IT is now up to
those who have the interests of the
state at heart to get busy at once
and bring about a conference of the
citizens of the two sections"

MANY REGAL

One Of the Many Experiences

Those who know Frank Renstrom
never accuse him Of being slow to
pass Judgment on a prospective pur-
chaser, and 1t Is conceded that his
judgment - generally correct Just

shaking hands with himself over a
sale he made few days ago. and 1t

man.
This particular sale had really to be
made twice over. In the first place,
the r. P.-otherwise the prospective
purchaser--had given an order for a
special make OF car. Delivery was
specined for 80 days after the order
had been taken. This would give the
factory time enough to build the car
and ship It from Detroit and get it
out to the coast within the specified
time But-the factory itself was
disappointed in securing material
needed to- build the car, and the 80
days had passed and nearly another
80 days. The p. p. was. wild. His
frame Of mind may easily be imag-
ined, inasmueh as he is Of a rather
|excitable disposition.
One morning he called at Rem

not have made better choice. unless
you had taken a Regal, and he went
on to give the car a swell sendoff and
to compliment the dealer. and when

served that he wouldn't mind seeing

Renstrom took him over to the

The p. p. climbed in and grasped the

AUTO BUYERS
DEMAND SERVICE
Overland Agency Has Now
String of Branches All
Along. the Coast

THE good roads movement all over
the United States has put new
phase on the buying of automobiles"
says J. w. Leavitt. the head of j. w.
Leavitt & Co.. Pacific coast agents
for the Overland pleasure cars, Gar
ford pleasure cars and trucks, and
WHY'S utility delivery wagons.
sixteen months ago the buyer of
a motor car generally had to consider
nothing but local conditions That
is. he merely had to consider the
service he was likely to enjoy from
the agency or from the agents of the
car that he figured on buying that
was in his locality or within range
of 500 miles
Within very short time motor
ar owner will be able to tour prac-
tically to any part of the United States
and Canada on perfect highways.
There are some, however. who think
this is not to be until some 10 years
or so, but the movement for the bet
terment of the highways Is so strong
that the good sections will shortly be
linked up and unquestionably by 1915
motorists may tour from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast to attend the big
fair in San Francisco. -
The effect this has on the buying
of automobiles is that a man, when
he purchases a car, has to know that
the factory Is represented In every
section of the United States: that is,
in every section that he is liable to
visit. or that his time will allow him
to visit.
This proposition is one that has
been very seriously considered by the
WHY'S Overland company. and 1t was
in keeping with this idea and the
great popularity of the Overland cars.

DEPT
E. Phil Merrill Holds Title as
Manager of the Educa-
ti0naI Department

Manager of the educational depart
ment is the title held by e. Phil Mer-
rill of the Cadillac factory. who has
come to the coast to spend a month
among the different branch houses
and subagencies of the Don Lee or
-ganization.
He will lecture in the different cite
les telling of the merits of the CadiI-
lac and citing the points that have
made the Cadillac leader the world
over.
Last week Merrill 1ectured at the
Riverside fair and his booth was the
center of interest. While he can ex-
plain construction and principle In
the most technical terms, he prefers
to speak in way that even the
novice can follow him without
trouble.
1t is an automobile education to
listen to his talk. He takes the car,
part by part, explaining the purpose
of each piece of mechanism, the prin-
ciple and the method of construction.
He is a most obliging talker in that
rather he invites them. He delights
in answering technical questions.
Mr. Merrill says that there are three
vital and basic principles which
must be embodied in an automobile II
we are to obtain the highest type
These three qualities are: First, cor
rectness of design; second, quality of
material and, third, accuracy or
workmanship He further states
correctness of design means a design
that will give, not some, but the
maximum of efficiency for the long
est period of time, with the least
trouble and lowest cost of mainte-
nance. Also it must be adjustable,
accessible and carry with it low cost
of replacement of individual parts.
Each of these items has bearing on
the perfection of design. Now. like
everything in the world. design is va
rfegated with the ideas of different
engineers One group thinks one
thing, another differently, each hav-
Ing a perfect rightsto its opinion, but
some designs are unquestionably bet
ter than others.
Quality of material means the right
kind of material for the particular
work that any part must perform.
Certain metals have certain proper
ties that make them adaptable for
certain kinds of work.
Accuracy of workmanship means
the close fitting of every essential
part in the car, and the closer the
fit the less lost motion, the less wear
all of which means increased effi-
cheney and longer service in the car
Mr. Merrill explains that all three
must be embodied in a car to give the
best service for longest time at low
est cost as one can take Well de-
signed car and lessen its efficiency
and durability by improper but not
necessarily poor metal. Or one can
take his well designed car, use the
best material and lessen its efficiency
and durability by inaccurate fitting
of the parts or units.

THE Massachusetts legislators

Ivy hen bills were submitted for that
purpose in Massachusetts they Were
killed by the Legislature, which
deemed it unwise to further tax busi-

roads and is also a leader in leg1s-

be reason enough for other states TO

tic measures that would hinder the al

growth of the motor truck.
IF they would have allowed this
bill to be passed it would have estab-
lished precedent that would have
possibly resulted in the registration
fees being increased each year, or
perhaps every other year. The event
ual result would work hardship on
the industry through the fact that
