USED
 BY GOVERNMENT Postmaster at Cleveland to Inaugurate Scheme to Re- :
 duce Cost of Living

With five new Overland delivery cars Cleveland, O., has announced his in- tention of putting into effect plan which will be decided innovation for Uncle Sam's postal department.
 The purpose is to make the parcel post an agency for greater service. All farmers living in the vicinity of Cleveland, who have butter, eggs and general produce for sale have been in- vited to forward their names and ad dresses to the postoffice. These names will be printed free by the govern ment and the list will be displayed in the federal building and substations throughout the city and in addition will be distributed direct to Cleve- flanders by mail carriers.
 The prospective consumers will com municate with the producers regarding prices, orders will be mailed and goods received within a day or two. Uncle Sam will make the collections when his Overlands make the deliveries
 The cars will not only deliver par cells but also will be used to bring out going parcels to the postoffice from stations in different sections of the city.
 A novel departure from the usual method of keeping up delivery sys- tenn is that each of the drivers will be required to pay for all repair work on his car and to provide oil. gasoline, tires and b ." any other expense nec- essary to lleO the vehicle in contin- uous service. For this purpose. he will be given fixed allowance annually.
 With a view to trying out this plan, cars of numerous different makes were closely examined in order to select the one which would be the most depend- able and economical It was only aft CT most convincing demonstrations that the overland was chosen.

 Tom Morris is well known in Birming- ham. He is one of the pioneers among the local automobile men and can sell you an automobile almost painlessly. He trundled out the following parcel of opti- n,istic paragraphs to a patient listener and never noticed the beautiful scenery.
 This talk of hard times is an illu- sion," began Thomas talking like a finan- cier, land If people would stop talking of hard times and get to work this bug s-boo of business depression would soon be over.
 At the present time people should just buckle down and work little harder 50 as to fool these calamity howlers. You can't lven up business by stating to the world that times are dull and you fear the bankruptcy courts. It can't be donel When business gets dull with me take off my coat take in another notch in my belt and start in to work at a faster gait and the first thing l know the sales begin to pick up and the dull period Is over. It is the same every- where else. Dull times means lessened energy and with a little speeding up and everybody cheerful, business imme-
 
 is stop talking of depression, the ter rible effects of the war. the mistakes of the democratic party, the woman suf- frage question and get to work. That Is the point-get to workout your shoulder to the wheel and this phantom of a panic will be oblterated.
 Hard times business depressions, cur tsiling of credit, high interest by banks and advertisers cutting down their space , in the newspape Is all due to brain storm peculiar to short-sighted business men at various periods. As soon this species of individual gets his bearings and gives his attention to his business instead of worrying over the fact that q heavy raiHstorm in Cochin, China, will hurt the silk worm industry and the high tariff on ivory dominoes will discommode indoor sportsmen, he will realize that after all he has been eating mince pie late at night and has had @ nightmare. All you have to do is to wakeup, roll over a few times and get up with a fighting spirit, a spirit to get business.

ELECTRIC DEVICES
 USED GENERALLY Battery Generator Ignition Now Standard
 Equipment

Announcements by various automo- = bile manufacturer disclose the fact that, in virtually all models priced at S9S5 over, electrical devices for lighting, starting and ignition are now listed as standard equipment.
 In most cases these devices are built into tine chassis of the car and are inte- gral parts of it. With but one or two ex- captions, all large producers have used the presence of a modern electrical sys- tenn to do away with the magneto as a piece of needless duplication and com plexity.
 Exceptions to this rule are almost solely manufacturers listing cars at two prices with and without complete electrical sys- tcms. Manufacturing efficiency in such q case demands the fitting of an electrical apparatus not an integral part of the chassis and therefore not adaptable 10 ig- milton purposes.
 H. M. Joy, electrical engineer of the Stakeholder corporation, points out the fact that manufacturers who install duplf- cate electrical systems have almost d. ways after year of trial abandoned the magneto and gone over without reserva- ton to built-in system that performs all functions of electricity, including ignition.
 That was virtually our Studebaker ex- perience," continued MT. Joy. When we introduced the first electrical system into our cars we fully realized that the generator was. in effect, a magneto, but infinitely more versatile and of greater ca : pacity as a source of current. We knew that the magneto added both weight and complexity, and used up a very consid- erable amount of horse power in opera ton. But we were determined not to act radically.
 "One years experience proved to us that the generator-storage battery sys- tom was thoroughly equal to any added task we might impose on it. We adopted 1t as built-in unit, added a distributor and discarded the magneto for all time.
 Our confidence in our electrical system was amply made good. The storage bat tery and generator have given hotter sIark than we could ever secure through a magneto. Cold weather starting is inn mensey facilitated, the starting spark coming direct from the powerful storage battery. At speed the generator fur nshes a spark as perfectly timed as the magneto ever did.
 'The best proof of magneto-less ignition efficiency is afforded by our service de- partment, which informs me that, from

Squirrels Skip on High Wire

There has been a crowd of Kensine. tonians in Norris square, Diamond and Hancock streets. every day since it was discovered a week ago that the squirrels the Kensington Board of Trade put into the open space several years ago will perform incredible climbing feats for nut, says the Phil adelphia Bulletin
 The discovery was made by a young man who spends much of his time studying zoology. botany. and such things. He threw a nut to a squirrel In the square. expecting to see 1t do the usual stunt which Is to carry r. up tree and hide it. Instead the lit- tie animal skipped across the lawns and ascended a telegraph pole with lightning speed.
 While the naturalist looked on amazed, the busy little creature, hold Ing the prized nut firmly, skipped lightly along the insulated wiring to l Hancock street. It then hopped to ar- other wire which leads to the roof i Of St, Bonifacious Catholic church Running along the wire with the grace of tho daintiest tipe rope walker, the little animal deposited the nut in a crevlce near the roof of the edifice. ard
 then returned to the square by the
 same route.
 The answer Is that the squirrels do fnot trust their old hiding places in the
 park. They have evidently been robbed | of some food they had worked labor
 iously for days to store up. At least, that is the way the dopesters in the l daily audience have it figured out It
 would be a nutty squirrel. they think. that would risk its life and dignity in such a manner just for a nut 1 The performances are held daily Al, that Is necessary Is to give one of
 the little animals a nut and the show
 begins.

That applies to everything as well as to selling automobiles"
 That's all very interesting, but how about this Paige car? What kind of a bus is it. was an interpolated question fired at Tommie, who had grown quite enthusiastic over the business situation.
 Why, this Paige car is one of the best low-priced machines on the mar ket. It's greatest selling points are dur ability and economy of operation. It does not perform miracles but it makes satisfied customers and that means more sales. The Paige company will manu- faoture and sell 1S,oO0 automobiles the coming season.
 Well, Tom, now that you've got that eff your chest you must feel better and also tired of demonstrating the excel lent points of this smooth-runnins auto- mobile. There is no question but what It Is a great value for the money" This from Toms passenger as the trip ended at the Tutwiler.
 Thomas was willing to let it go at that and the conversation turned to what nots'' and the brief hunting season for ''killyloo" birds while refreshments were served.

We are doing more business and better business than at this time last year. Collections are good and we are selling our cars just as fast as we can get them from the fac- tory.
