that their two entries finished second and
third respectively but they believe that
the performance of these cars demon
strstes their merits In the most conv!nc-
Ing and spectacular manner imaginable.
Several features in connection with the
Paige cars stand out and can be briefly
summarized.
The Paige entries had seen cons iderabie
service before the great race. One had
been a demonstration In Los Angeles and
the other had been used as a pathfinder
in mapping out the new route for this
years Cactus Derby. Twenty cars
started: only eight finished.
But the most significant fact was the
performance Of the Paige entries on the
last day of the race. The Paige cars, IN
spite OF conditions and the severity OF the
work done made the fastest time OF all
contc stants between Prescott and PhUniN
The third days showing therefore, IS re-
garded ~ an especially convincing de-
monstraton OF the cars stamina, stanCh-
ness and reliability.

Is located.
Nearly two hundred homes have al
ready been completed and occupied by
Goodyear families. and many more appl-
cations for homes will be acted upon AS
soon AS the return OF spring makes build
ing operations possible.

and water pipes. &c. put in. all on large
contracts. and the total cost of the land
plus tie improvements was divided into
actual lot prices without PROFIT. Then
contracts for houses were let in large
numbers, insurng lowest costs, and the
completed properties turned over 10 work
men and paid for as rent. No down de-
posts are required.
one Of the strongest features OF the
plan is that every house has individuality

NEW METHODS AID

The degree 10 which what were formerly
ufscturing establishments is surprising To
any one not familiar with all OF these
present day methods. Many large plant
is able because OF the extent OF its opera
lions TO thus reduce manufacturing costs
as compared with operations performed
on q smaller scale
In the Toledo plant of the WHY'S
Overland Company utilization OF sawdust
and scrap from the wood working de-
partments alone saves $4,000 a year in
the coal bill. Not only is the fact OF this
large saving by utilizing an otherwise
waste product OF interest. but the me-
chanism by which 1t II accomplished Is
an excellent example of the usefulness TO
which automatic processes have been de-
veloped.
To operate the WHY'S Overland drop
forge plant, in which there are sixty
steam hammers and to heat the twenty
hve acres Of new buildings just completed
requires ten huge boilers Of a Total OF
$500 horsepower capacity. These boilers
would consume 200 tons OF coal for

With the opening OF the European war

is hunting and fishing club made
famous by some of the most prom
inent figures in American sport.
Among these are Charles A. Comis-
key Of the Chicago White Sox
and President William II. Baker
of the Chicago Athletic Club. Fall
hunting is an annual event and has
come to have place in the sport
ing calendar Of the country. This
years pilgrimage has just been
completed, and among the interest
ing stories brought home is the re-
port that the eighteen mile drive
in to the clubhouse from Mercer,
the nearest railroad station, which
has usually been done by team and
has constituted an experience of
teeth shaking and hair raising
character, was this year done in
Ford cars. This is the first time
that an automobile of any kind has
ever been tried on this terrific tote
road, and after the Fords went
over the lonely trail without u halt
in an hour and half thirty-two
members of the club headed by
Judge Adelor j. Petit decided that
hereafter regular Ford service
