CADILLAC TESTS
 COOLING SYSTEM

One of the hardest cooling tests for an automobile in California, and. doubt less, one of the most severe in the country. is the Emile climb up the Santa Ana canyon to Big Bear val ley. It is not only heavy climb for at one point the road crosses over It. self seven times, but there are deep sand. rough rocks and deep water to negotiate. There is also the changing altitude which causes many cars to miss and sputter, necessitating car- buretor adjustment.
 Recently Jacob Beatus achieved the distinction of reaching the top sue cessfully, making the climb in a 1914 Cadillac. Mir. Beatus chose a time when the trip was even more difficult than usual, for there had been extended washouts and at places the roadway was mass of rocks. However, when MT. Beatus reached the top and water was put into the radiator only quart was required to cause an overflow. Mir Beatus is not the only Cadillac driver to make this grade without stopping for water. for several owners turned the trick last year.

Trapped by Verse From Bible

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Clearfield, Pa.-A step toward the eman- cipation of at least one woman from household drudgery has been gained. ac- cording to Mrs. Harriet Prentisscott, a suffragist of this city. who after two years of effort has persuaded her husband thai he should wash the dishes.
 Prentisscott often quoted Scriptural texts to prove that the household duties belonged to the wife. Mrs. Prentisscott the following verse in Second Kings: "I the following verse i n Second Kings: ''I will wipe Jerusalem as man wipeth a dish, wping it and turning it upside down."
 Smilingly engaging her husband in ar gument over the dinner dishes, Mrs. Prem tisscott told him good men in the early ages always wiped the dishes and that she could prove her contention by the Scriptures.
 Prove it," flared back Prentisscott and I'll wash our dishes for the next two years.''
 She showed him the verse. and Prem tisscott got busy with the dishes.

Peerless Light Four" Model 54,
 Weight Less Than 5000 Pounds

MT. Brown of the Brown Motor Car company, speaking of the new four cylin- der cars, says:
 "A strong wave of feeling against the high cost of operation and upkeep of ell noter cars is sweeping the country. At the tune that theesx-cylfnder car became popular it was impossible to obtain from the four-cylinder motor anything like the smooth running qualities which were de- sired. and which were accomplished by the six. Great progress, however, has been made in the manufacture of four cylinder motors, so that now if a layman were blindfolded and seated in the ton neau of car equipped with the latest design of four-cylinder motor, he would hPve the greatest difficulty in deciding whether the car were six or four. Im- prcvement in read surfaces and grades has made high power and heavy cars less necessary. The passing of the motor car from novelty to a convenience has lessened the desire for great speed The latest development of the four-cyiinder motor combines a speed, smoothness and power formerly thought impossible

DENEGRE SPEAKS OF
 PACKARD'S SPEED"

Speed tests of Packard six-cylinder cars at Indianapolis" said Charles De- negre of Southern garage, produced impressive results which have Just been made public. A Packard "3-3S" fully equipped touring car completed 62.4 miles within the hour and Packard | "5-4S' with the same equipment com pleted 70.4 miles within the hour
 'The performance took place under l official observance of the Automobile Club of America and the results are certified. Both cars were standard with the exception of muffler cutout. spark plugs. wire wheels and tires. They were in condition for fast work. having been driven to Los Angeles and back by Packard engineers.
 Tt is difficult for the layman to real ize the full significance of the results but disinterested experts have ex- pressed the opinion that the showing made at Indianapolis marks another distinct advance in motor car engineer ing. The Packard company laws stress upon the fact that the ability to roll up this tremendous mileage within the hour has been attained without sac rificing in the least degree quiet run ming, flexibility, smoothness or easy riding.
 Tn a telegram addressed to the Packard Motor Car company, Carl G. Fisher, president of the Indianapolis motor speedway, made the following comment:
 T consider your recent performance with the Packard '5-4S' at the speed way of 70.4 miles within an hour one of the most remarkable, if not the most remarkable, engine trials we have had at the speedway, considering the wind resistance and the large, fully equipped car together with Its weight and the number of revolutions neces- sary to accomplish this result. I am more than surprised and pleased to know that American manufacturers can build stock car with this power and reliability"
 "The cars used in these tests re- ferred to are the new models which will come on the market September l. Tt is interesting to note that for the past two months it has been impossible to purchase a Packard '2-3S' and that for several weeks past the same condition has applied to the 4-4S.' It is estimated that the seasons output of the great Packard factory fell at least 800 cars short of the market requirements"

 The Lincoln highway itself was to be oi the greatest advantage to the people or the states traversed, but one of the big gest thoughts back of the movement was the establishment of a real tangible good road,ss which would prove by demonstra- tion the wonderful benefits 10 be derived from such a road.
 The people of nearly every state have heard a great deal about improved roads, but not 10 per cent of the population of the United States ever saw one.

'FORD'S CHAT WITH PRESIDENT WILSON
 BIG BOOST FOR CAR.
Popular Manufacturer Continually In Sales Keep Him From Feeling Psychological Depresson"-Cadi lac Tests Cooling System Haynes At Smith
 sonian Institute

' ENRY FORD had lunch with Pres
 ident Wilson last Thursday after \ A noon and in the course of an hours conversation MT. Ford greatly en- frightened the President on the business situation of the country. His chat with the chief executive also served as an ex- celent advertisement for that sturdy ma chine-the Ford car.
 MT. Ford is making Theodore Roosevelt enyious lately in the manner with which he consistently keeps in the public eye. The Terrible Teddy has so long main tained the mastery of the spotlight that he brooks with impatience any rivals Mir Ford. however, is doing something something good for the country in gen. eral all the time and he is unusually modest about his work.
 MT. Ford gives employment to 2e,ooO persons daily. These people work not over eight hours a day and the lowest paid oe these is s5 per diem or a sum exceeding by several dollars weekly the wages of many men in the professions. Incidentally with this employment of such a large army of men, women and children, MT. Ford manufactures and sells 1000 automo- piles which bear his name every day. LOWEST PRICE
 CAR ON MARKET
 These Ford cars are the lowest priced on the market. They are sold with the maximum of value to the purchaser and the minimum of profit to the manufac- turer. In other words, Mir Ford sells his cars just as cheap as he possibly can and pay his high wages and at the same time manufacture an excellent automo- bile. The excellence of his product and the popularity of it is exemplifed by the fact that the output of his factories is sold far in advance.
 And so 1t is seen that Mr Ford has legitimate excuse for breaking into the columns of newspapers. The people are interested in anything that MT. Ford says or does. The people are interested in any man that in 12 years can rise from a SIP a week mechanic to be able to give away $lo.000.000 a year to his employees as a present anc to also pay his employees the largest wages in the world for the shortest number of hours.
 And when Mr Ford informs Presi- dent Wilson that if persons in the financial world would attend to their business they would soon change their viewpoint concerning financial de- pression it appears that he is quite right MT. Ford attends to his busi- ness and manufactures and sells 1000

RIGHT IN THEIR
 ORIGINAL SURVEY

The founders of the great plan were right in their original survey of the situa- tion. Everything is working out in ex- actly the way expected. In only one re- spect were the patriotic men back of the great project in error that was in the length Of time 1t would take to get the plan under way. They were oVer-conserY- ative. They did not count on such won derfui support as the association has re- ceived from the first. They were sure of success, but they expected that success to be slow in coming
 The Lincoln highway project has been before the people of this country less than two years, actual work on the inn provement of sections of the way dates from this spring, vet it's advantages the power of it's example and the desire for connecting roads are already being felt
 Work on connecting roads in many states will be going on at the same time as work on the highway itself, and it is a fact worthy of note that these roads will be of the permanent type and not the usual dirt excuse for road which the farmers of every section of the coun- try have wasted good money on for years and which have been a constant drain on the rural taxpayers, both for upkeep and m the great expense of transportation II is probable that as many miles of im- proved road will be built as a direct re- suit of the Lincoln highway, this year. as will be built on the highway itself and therein is shown the underlying wisdom of the patriotic men who have been so active in founding and aiding the great work.
 The Lincoln highway Is a wonderrul achievement, but is a still more won oerful means to an end. that end being the eventual grading. hard-surfacing and permanent improvement of the millions of miles Of country road in the United States that today q disgrace to the Intelligence and thrift of the American people.

SCHOOL RURAL SURVEY

In, Sauk county, Wisconsin,, the
school chfdrea have fer the past two
years made social survey from all
the school districts in the county. ALI
data was collected and the county
superintendent had some surprising
and interesting data concerning the
social conditions of the county. The
following represents the social condi-
tions of the county: name of farmer,
owner or tenant, length Of time on
farm, size of farm, number and kind
of modern machinery, barns and
equipment, and silos; whether or not
the farm homes were supplied with
such conveniences as running water,
hot and cold, hard and soft; bath
room, laundry room; power washer;
telephone, lighting system; screened
in porch; ice box; septic tank; vac
uum cleaner; sewing machine; piano;
gasoline or oil stove; typewriter; and
other data.
Would not such a survey furnish
a means for our teachers as well as
the students to become acquainted
with the community?
