THIS FIRESTONE TIRE
WITHSTOOD BIG SHOCK
Powder Plant Explosion Wrecks Car
in Panama. but Not

CabIegram to the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, from J. w. Kerr, its
representative in the Canal Zone, con-
tanned some startling news. The gist Of
1t was as follows:
Mr. Arosemena is chief Of the Panama
City fire department. On the night Of
June 5 he was aroused by an alarm Of
fire. Learning that the government pow
der house was ablaze, he jumped into his
auto and exceeded all speed limits get
ting to the scene.
Upon his arrival, the fire seemed insig-
nificant. Stopping his car about 15o feet
from the powder house, he got out to in
vestigate. A few minutes afterward, a
terrific explosion occurred which killed
eight firemen and altered the landscape
considerably.
Fortunately, Mr.. Arosemena was un-
injured. but the same could not be said
OF his car. He found it to be a wreck
and minus the left front wheel, which
had departed the scene entirely. When
Mr. Kerr arrived. he Immediately insti-
gated a search for the missing wheel.
Tire and rim were eventually found over
100 feet away, and to the amazement of
everyone, the tire, which was a Firestone
Non-skid, was absolutely uninjured.
The wrecked car is worthless, but Mr..
Arosemena assures that when he gets a
new one. he will not consider anything
but Firestones for tire equipment. as a
tire that will stand that test il good
enough for him.

CAPITAL HAS LARGEST
SERVICE STATION NOW
Miller Bros Plant Reputed to Be
the Best in the
South.
EMPLOYS 100 AUTO EXPERTS

Very few people in Washington realize
that their city has the largest automo-
bile service station south of Philadelphia
Miller Brothers Automobile and Supply
House, at 81 Pierce street northeast, have
a plant that is one of the most interest
ing sights in Washington. 1t covers a
space of one acre, and is fitted with all
of the latest appliances for the repair Of
automobiles. Every class of work is done,
from yuIcanizing tires to uphoistering and
painting. There is even a very complete
metal working department where lamps,
radiators, and tenders are made In re-
pair.
Miller Brothers employ approximately
100 men. including so Of the very best
automobile machinists, expert automo-
bile painters, upholsters and topmakers.
and have their tire repair department in
charge of an expert direct from one OF
the largest factories in the world. Parts
for Ford cars are carried to the extent
of so, 900. and it is possible to secure from
this stock any part OF a Ford car, from
the wheels to the top, including new
bodies, etc.
Miller Brothers feel very proud Of their
service station, and extend q cordial In
vitation to everybody to visit and inspect
their plant. and one Of the officials VIII
be very glad to show them through the
plant. explaining all of the various
classes of work and the manner in which
cars are repaired, and show them the In
ner workings of a large automobile es-
tablishment.
This big plant with the large invest
ment is necessary only because OF the
desire Of Miller Brothers to render to
Ford owners the highest class of service.
As an illustration of this service every
owner of a Ford delivery wagon is guar
anteed six-day-to-the-week service; IL by
chance their car is in need of repairs one
of the service wagons is Immediately
turned over to them for their use. and
this service also applies to physicians,
whose profession requires constant use
Of an automobile.

L. E. White, an Excelsior rider. was
elected to membership in the National

last Wednesday night.
Plans for the National Capital Motor
cycle Clubs endurance run are maturing.
and definite announcement 10 expected to
be made In q short time. Some Of the

held by the club in 1872. which was prac-

that the run shall be more In the nature
Of reliability contest where the less ex-
perienced rider will have a chance. The
latter plan 10 most popular, as 1t appeals
to the largest number of members. and
1t probably will be adopted. No decision
has been reached as to whether the run
will be open to all riders or confined to
club members only.

6. c. DIEHL DISCUSSES
GOOD ROADS Progress
Chairman Of A. A. A. National Board
Explains Amendment Resting with
Senate Committee.
SEVERAL STATES AT WORK NOW

Each State should be expected to pro-
vide an adequate organization for efficient
expenditure of funds made available
through any Federal plan of cooperation
with the several States, and before 1t re-
ceives its quota" asserts Chairman
George c. Diehl Of the A A. A. National
Good Roads Board.
"One suggested amendment to the
measure passed by the House and rest
ing with the Senate Postoffice and Post
Roads Committee provides that the sew
eral States will have not less than two
years in which to make any necessary
provision to enable a commonwealth to
qualify for road cooperation from the
central source. This is a most just pro-
vision, for the simple reason that not .
few States could not at once avail them
selves of Federal cooperation without
amending existing road laws.
"A State which does not have a State
highway department should remedy this
deficiency, or allow its allotment OF Fed
eral money to remain unexpended until
such an organization is provided. Such a
requirement. coupled with Federal in
spection, will insure the highest efficiency
and the best results obtainable in the
construction OF improved roads.
pTODdDle ludl SUDlo requirement
as to maintenance of Federal-aid roads
by the respective States will form one
Of the features of Congressional good
roads legislation. as it Is recognized that
there is a general tendency throughout
the country to allow well constructed
roads to rapidly deteriorate for want of
attention.
Although it IL not generally known.
the Federal government has, in a small
measure, already embarked upon a policy
of Federal aid. in addition to the great
educational work which 1t has been do
ing for a number OF years throgh the
medium of the Office of Public Roads of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. In the Postofiice appropriation
bill for 1923, an Appropriation of 500, 900
was made for cooperating with the vari-
Gus States in the improvement Of post
roads, conditioned upon the States pro-
viding 81 for each 81 thus provided by
the government. The appropriation re-
quired that the money should be expend-
ed under the direction of the Secretary
of Agriculture in cooperation with the
General Owing to delay on
the part of the States in meeting the
requirements, the appropriation
was continued in the bill making appro-
priation for the fiscal year, 1914, and made
available until expended.
AT the present time, construction Is
actively under way and allotments have
been made to various States, as follows:
Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Mary
land, Mississippi North Carolina, Ohio,
Oregon. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia Much valuable data will
be obtained from these various demon
stration roads to aid the Federal govern
ment in the future conduct Of its road
work on a large scale"
The Washington herald., 1914-06-14

On June 16, 1908, the Ford Motor Company
was organized with capital equal to 100000.
1t employed, during the first fiscal year, an aver
age of 311 men daily and had floor space of
less than one-third of an acre 1t had one branch
house and built total of 17Os cars the first year.
Last year 1850 Fords were sold and today
practically every third car on American high
ways is Ford-and Ford supremacy is almost
as great in every other country in the world.
The capital stock of the Ford Motor Company
is now 100000, it has total floor space of
153 acres, Al branch houses, and employs ap-
proximately 10000 people. What better proof
of Ford progress, Ford supremacy, and Ford
Superiority can one ask?

Why the Ford Is
So Popular

Henry Ford realized that if he succeeded in
manufacturing good reliable car at moderate
price he would strike the keynote of "a universal
car" How splendidly he has succeeded is evil
denced by the universal use of this staunch and
sturdy champion of the road.
The initial cost of the Ford is but 1-2 to 1-3
the price Of other makes
Statistics prove that the Ford requires con-
siderably less for upkeep than more expensive
cars.
The lightness of the Ford keeps the gasoline
consumption down to the minimum-two cents

HE DOES NOT WORRY.

There Is at least one York county
farmer who Is not worrying over the
low price Of cotton. He does not wor-
ry, for two reasons-flrst, because there
Is no use, and secondly, because he
made 33 1-3 per cent more cotton on
the same amount Of land this year than
he did last year. and there was no ex-
ira cost in raising the additional yield.
This farmer, Mr.. s. w. Draffln, Of
Leslie No. /, believes in living at
home first and raising all the cotton he
can as surplus. He is not big far
mer; that Is, he does not work many
acres. He does not employ anv help,
and everything he raises Is the result
Of the labor of himself and his 12-year-
old son, James.
This year Mr.. Draffin made 272
bushels Of corn on eight acres. He also
raised enough Of other kinds Of grain
to provide for the needs Of his family.
In addition to this he has three hogs to
kill. These hogs will average ESQ
pounds, net. He has four shoats for
next year.
Mr.. Draffln made nine bales Of cot
ton on ten acres. Last year he only
made six bales on the same ten acres.
He has sold this cotton, getting about
seven cents pound. Last year he sold
his six bales at about twelve cents per
pound In spite Of the low price now
prevailing he considers that he has
done we'll.
Mr.. Draffin has high regard for the
work being done by the government
farm demonstrators. He himself Is q
graduate Of Clemson college, having
taken the two year agricultural course
at that institution. He believes that
the government Is helping a lot; but
he believes that more intelligent hard
work on the farms will do more toward
making farmers Independent than any
thing else
