INJ MEMORIAM.

In memory of our dear son. Snyder Wantz, VIII
departed this life August 6, 1918.
August In once more here.
The saddest month OF all the year:
One year ago this sad day
Our dear son Snyder was called away.
His well remembered footsteps.
We was always glad to hear:
But now since they silent.
We have shed many tear.
There il grief that cannot find comfort,
And wounds that cannot b. healed;
And sorrow too deep in the human heart
That cannot be revealed.
But we pray we may find our treasure.
The link from loves broken chain,
And the tender touch OF his hand.
We may clasp them once again.
He has crossed the shining river
And has gained that radiant shore.
Where no heart with grief can CULVER,
Where all parting scenes are Ger.
The God whom We love in his wisdom,
Knows well what il right and best;
And we pray today for patience.
Till we meet in the land Of rest.
BY HIS PARENTS. MR.. AND MRS. r.. J. wANTz.

Few people. even tire manufacturers themselves. real- ize the enormous strength of the ordinary pneumatic tire. The experimental depart ment at the Goodyear factory has recently proved in tests that Goodyear tires will stand up under strains which prove fatal to iron and steel"
 Tn the last six months Goodyear has made many tests with it's tires to deter mine rim strength for the Society of Au- tomobile Engineers. Practically every type of rim, clincher and straight-side, was thus tested. The test method con- sisted in taking Goodyear tires out of stock, putting them on rims to be tested and forcing air into the tires till some- thing gave way The rims. of course were not mounted and re-enforced by wheels. It is a significant fact that in these tests not a single tire gave way The tests were severe Some tires were inflated to 400 pounds per square inch be- fore the rim gave way. When a rim reached the limit of endurance 1t always collapsed suddenly. Actual figure eights" were made of sturdy steel In many cases the same Goodyear tire was used for number of tests, breaking one rim after another. some tires being used as high as IA times.

! H. B. Hodges, sales manager of the Highland garage, which handles the Olds- mobile in this city, states that the new model AZ of the Olds Motor Works is making Init" all over the country. He said:
 We had not planned to open our news paper campaign on the new Model 42 until the latter part of July, since we are only able to produce 200 cars as the first allot- ment, which we are distributing one to a dealer, until we begin manufacturing in quantities August 1.
 News of the new model has spread over the entire country by some mysterious means and we have dealers wiring and writing daily for cars in greater quanti- tres than they have ever ordered from Olds Motor Works in the past
 "One new dealer we have just closed is Mrs. w. Lennie-Smith of Alexandria, La. She Is the first dealer of the feminine gender we have ever had. When I first received her inquiry I was rather skepti- cal, but found upon investigation that she was one of the livest and best rated deal CTS in her territory.
 When we made our contract out to the Johnson Auto company of Vincennes, Ind, we filled the order in for one car; when they returned their copy they scratched out the order for one and made 1t 10, ex- blaming that each one of their dealers wanted one of the first lot, and they sent in another order for 20 for themselves
 Tt has been simply wonderful how dealers all over the country have tried to secuDe the Oldsmobile line for this year. Out of the 12 requests for the line in St. Louis Mo-, we finally appointed the De Luxe Auto company as our distributors, their first order being for a carload im- mediate delivery.

 It was a creditable victory for the ig- milton system and a rather sweeping one too, for not only was the winning Delage Bosch-equipt, but Il of the 12 cars to cross the line used Bosch magnetos of standard construction.
