LUSTER FROM AUTO
STOPPED BALL GAME
Cleveland Motorist Had to Cover
Side of Car with Linen
Busters.
THEN THE CONTEST PROCEEDED

When, after a long days run across
country in a Studebaker Six" c. A
Lennon, of Cleveland, arrived in the
outskirts of Dubois, Pa, he found q
championship baseball game In lively
progress.
Mr. Lennon and the members of his
party voted unanimously on stop at the
bail yard. They rolled in through the
carriage gate, were assigned parking
space near the foul line back Of third
base, and settled down to await develop
ments.
These developments came thick and
fast.
The Dubois catcher grabbed blindiy to
his right for a third strike on an oppos-
ing batsman; the ball passed on his left.
The second man up rolled a grounder
toward the shortstop; the ball eluded his
hands and smote him on his manly chest.
The next batsman lifted a high foul.
The third baseman went after II In a
sroping way, overran 1t, and narrowly
ESCAPED death when the ball hit MIN
glancing blow on the head
While first aid was being administered.
Mr.. Lennon noted that the players OF
both teams were in an animated confer
ence and that they were frequently point
ing toward him and his car.
The umpire later added his presence to
the conference Then the entire coterie
moved toward Mr.. Lemmon's position.
while he and his party looked on in
puzzled way, the umpire and players
moved about the car and postured in
various positions.
That's what's doing it." declared the
arbitrator. and advanced toward the puz-
z'ed party in the Studebaker.
Sorry, SIR" he remarked to Mr.. Lem
mon, but IL you don't move that car I'll
have to call this game"
Call IL? What for?" replied the as
tonished motorist.
Why, on account of reflection, 1 guess
The sunshine hits it in a dozen places
and reflects back into the players eyes
so they can't see the ball"
'well that's the highest compliment
for automobile finish / ever heard,
laughed Lennon. but 1 guess We can
fix matters up"
By covering the entire side and front
of the car with linen busters. supplement-
ed by robes secured from other motorists
in the parking space. the side of the
Studebaker Six was finally swathed
from the suns rays and the game pro-
ceeded with the players handling the ball
as accurately as their adherents had
right to expect.

CARE OF BRAKES WILL
DECREASE ACCIDENTS
R. H. Harper Says Tests Show Trucks
Can Be Stopped in Their
:. Own Length.

THE proper attention to brakes and a
practical working speed would eliminate
many Of the motor truck accidents which
are now pronounced unavoidable" states
r. II. Harper of the Overland Washing
ton Motor Company.
Tests on a Willys-Utility in actual
service. show that under full speed. with
q load OF three-quarter ton. the vehicle
can be brought to a stop within thirty
feet. simply by application Of the brakes.
II Is equipped with an automatic COVER
nor by which the owner can regulate the
speed OF his truck. The most reckless
or careless driver Is unable to drive fas-
ter than eighteen miles an hour. which
is the speed our engineers have proved
the highest practicable for a iruck Of this
capacity.
"A five-ton Garford. hauling the maxi
mum load at the speed of nine miles an
hour allowed by the governor, can be
stopped within its own length
These facts show conclusvely that a
little care of the brake lining and con-
scientious work on the part OF the driver
will decrease accidents to a negligible
number"

FAVOR CARTERCAR FOR
MOUNTAINOUS SERVICE
Manufacturing Company in California
Needs Automobile to Climb
Steep Grades.

The Globe Consolidated Manufacturing
Company. of DERRICK, Cal, believes it is
an authority on motor cars, for it has
tried out seven different makes of cars in
the heavy mountain service.
The company's property is located
seventy-five miles from Redding, and the
road overland from that city crosses
three submits. AS this route has to be
traversed frequently with a full load Of
five passengers and baggage it goes with
out saying the car which they use must
be staunch and true.
Some of the grades in the submits are
very steep. up TO Is per cent. and con-
tinuous for long distances at 10 and II
per cent. For the past two seasons the
company has operated a gearless trans
mission Cartercar, and have found it
quicker and safer to control than any Of
the other six makes which they have
used.

of the Cartercar. says: I'VE buy a car

far from easy. The Cartercar has proven
excellent in every regard. In bad places
1t is safer and easier to control than a

some geared cars. as there Is always
some speed ratio in the hundreds at our
command that will take US up any hill

After the first seasons use, going
some 10000 miles, the motor needed no
work done on it, and was put into COM
mission for the second season with only
changing the oil in the crank case and

Ny personal experience has been that
the upkeep is much less with a Cartercar
than with any of the geared cars, and
surely the use which we give a car makes
the test as conclusive as 1t could be-

AUDITORS CHECKING BOOKS.

Unable to Understand How Shortage,
II Any, Was Undiscovered.
Wichita, Kan, April S-Four audi
tors are working on the books in the
office of the county treasurer. They
are trying to trace out the details re-
garding the alleged $4,000 shortage
that o. w. Jones left in the treasurer's
office when he turned the Office over
to his successor in October. 1913.
The formal complaint filed against
o. w. Jones Saturday evening is said
to be based on a $40, 900 shortage. The
entry of the unpaid taxes, assumed by
the county reads "$48, 000'' instead Of
$28. 900. This gave the treasurer an
opportunity to balance his tax account
and yet turn over $4,000 less to the
county than was due it from taxes coll
lected by him.
The "$4S, O0O'' entry. which should
have been $4,000 is said to be in o.
w. Jones' handwriting. While this
entry gave the auditor his clue to a
shortage and resulted in a warrant be-
ing issued, there are many records to
audit and much other work to do in
the case before everything that went
on the county treasurer's Office in
1918 is known.
Sam Nolan, county treasurer, says
there is every reason to believe the
work, if done. was done In such a way
that it never was seen by the county
in the court house by which the county
clerk is enabled to check up the work
of the county treasurer's Office each
day. but that is only the legitimate
work of the treasurer's Office that
