Overland Band
 Back From Tour

| The 50 musicians making up the Over | land band returned to Toledo July ', i after the most successful trip ever under taken by the organization.
 | The band journeyed from Toledo to Houston, Tex, as escort for the Ohio and Michigan delegations to the International | Convention of Rotary Clubs En route to Texas the factory musicians gave con- certs in Chicago, Kansas City, Wichita and Oklahoma City. At each of these points they were received by large crowds | who gave them enthusiastic receptions | In Houston they were one of the fea- lures of the convention, which they opened with a public concert at the Mu- nicipal auditorium
 At the request of the Galveston Rotary club the band went to the Gulf City for a public concert on the lawn of the Hotel Galvez. More than 5000 music lovers grew
 enthusiastic over the work of the band.
 At the close of the convention the band escorted the entire convention party of
 20,00O on a monster Swing Around the
 Circle" of Texas cities. playing in San Antonio, Austin, Waco, Fort Worth and Dallas.
 Upon the completion of this trip the long journey back to Toledo was started via Beaumont, Baton Rouge, New Or
 leans. BirmiD gham, Atlanta, Chattanooga,
 LeXir gton and Cincinnati. At Atlanta the
 band was a feature of the Fourth of July
 celebration, giving concerts in tbe after noon and evening.
 The band of the Willys-Overland com
 pany is altogether an amateur organiza- tion, the members of which accept no re- \niuneration for their musical activities
 Competent critics declare the band highly
 proficient. Its leader is MT. Gustav koehler, formerly director of the famous
 Marine band.
 This is the second long tour taken by the Overland automobile factory's musi- clans as guests of their employer, Mr. J"hn N. Willys. who has taken this means of showing his appreciation of their work at the various Overland functions
 throughout the year. Two years ago the men travelled from the Pacific coast and return, playing before half a million peo- pie and meeting with enthusiastic ap- proval at all points along the route.

PORTABLE WIRELESS SETS FOR ARMY FIELD
 SER VICE PERFECTED
Available Wireless Truck Which Can be Set Up for Twelve Minutes-Lozer Has Flexible Body-Monte
 Stone Reports Good Business Outlook

"a REMARKABLE advance in the TAI construction of portable wire Fsssssss.1 less sets for army field service tsSs&2J has been made by the signal corps of the United States army. For the next field operations of the army, or for immediate use in Mexico, if necessary, there is available wireless truck which can be set for use in P minutes and send messages within a radius of 800 miles un- der favorable conditions.
 The truck was built especially for the signal corps by the White company of Cleveland. Tn tests that have already been made this set has received messages from points 25OO miles distant. The elec- trical pressure reaches 5000 volts at the top of the antennae. The great range of the equipment and the speed with which it may be brought into action is due to the employment of a powerful electric generator driven through a train of gears by the S0-horse power motor of the White truck
 The generator delivers electric current of 500 cycles at 110 volts and from IS to 82 amperes. This current is interrupted by the relay, operated by the sending key, and is transformed so that it leaves the side of the wireless truck at a pres- sure of 22,000 volts and an amperage vary ing from to 12. As the current rises to the top of the antennae the voltage rises to approximately 5000 while the amper- age approaches zero.
 The radiation under these conditions gives a sending ability from 200 miles under the worst conditions in day time up to 800 miles under good conditions ob- tained in the early hours of the morning. when there is less electrical disturbance due to electrical plants of various kinds.

Six Y ear-Old Cadillac
 Ready for Tour

\. $. owen of this city will soon start on long cross-country motor car tour Which will take him eventually to San Francisco. The interesting faature of this undertaking is the fact that Mr. Owens will drive car that is LOW in it's sixth year of service and already has 3oo,00o miles to it's credit. MT. Owens au- tomobile is one of the first Cadillac fours tc be brought to Birmingham.
 A cross-country trip similar to the one now planned was made by Mir. Owens in this car nearly five years ago. Leaving Birmingham he travelled to Detroit then proceeded to Yellowstone Park and Cali fornia, visiting Los Angeles and other western points. From there he returned to Birmingham The remarkable feature Of this trip was that the actual distance covered was 19,9S0 miles and the total cost of repairs and other automobile ex- penses. outside of the consumption ok fuel, was but $40.

A5 Brownel1 Auto company. mo-
 tor concerns in Birmingham are finding it hard to secure ship ments from the factories and business is being consequently hampered on ac- to fill orders. The demand for cars exceed the supply and representatives in the district have been able to de- liver very few.
 The Birmingham garage, local rep resentatives for the Chandler car, has been vainly looking for a shipment during the past few weeks but the rush at the factory has made 1t inn possible to forward cars to the local district. The Saunders Motor Car com pany is also in the same predicament To avoid the loss of time through freight shipments, the Saunders com pany ordered a shipment by express for their immediate use but as yet it has failed to arrive. Another by freight was also ordered and nothing has been heard from this either.
 Excepting a new 1915 model Hudson received by express two weeks ago. the Saunders company has not received shipment for some months and busi- ness is almost at a standstll although large number of orders have been placed. Other dealers in the district are also registering the same complaint over the scarcity of cars.

 Extra seats of this style not cnly fold completely out of the way, but when raised are as firm as the old style stand- ing type of seats. These so-called wan ishing'' seats fasten solidly on the sides of the tonneau, just back of the rear doors. By this method of fastening side sway is rendered impossible as the extra seats are held in place as firmly as the front and rear seats of the car.'
