Something New in Motor
Car Demonstrations

Although many motor car dealers
claim that the day of the demonstra-
tion is over in selling automobiles, the
show me" spirit still prevails to a
great extent west of the Mississippi.
Peter Stillmucker, wealthy business
man, of Dubuque, Iowa, recently visited
Cedar Rapids in the same state, to see
some old friends. among. them John
Moore, Chandler dealer in that city.
Stillmucker is no novice at motoring,
having owned several cars, but he ex-
hibited keen interest in Moore's state
ment that he could drive the hilly
seventy -four mile stretch between
Cedar Rapids and Dubuque without
once changing out of high gear.
"I don't need a new car" replied Mr..
Stillmucker, but If you will drive this
or any other machine to Dubuque on
high gear I'll buy IL the moment we
arrive there, regardless of the amount
of gasoline used 1t can't be done"
Moore accepted the proposition and
the start far Dubuque was made inn
mediately Dubuque county mills have
more than local reputation. and Mr..
Stillmucker withheld his opinion until
the last hill was negotiated and the
ear rolled up the main thoroughfare
of Dubuque.
The Chandler six made the seventy
four mile stretch in two hours and fifty
minutes, without once changing out of
high gear. Mr. Stillmucker. in1medi-
ately bought the car and drove II back
TO Cedar Rapids himself without
changing from high gear.

The following from C. D. Stewart, SUI

success attained by these cars in the

side-lights on what may be seen on
the daily routine by one who travels

Care of Oriental Rugs

Oriental rugs will last an ordinary life
time, when handled with care, but they
will grow soiled and unsightly unless
properly cleaned. They can and should
be scrubbed and secured. The process,
which professional cleaners use. is plain
scrubbing with soap. water and brush,
and thorough drying in the open air, af-
ter rfhsing. In the case of small rugs,
they may be scrubbed at home in a tub,
and rinsed with hose. The process of
professional rug renovators begins with
removing the dust by the vacuum method.
The rug is turned face down and scrubbed
then rinscd, rolled and dried.

almost a generation ago, but in more

Imported model gowns, and few man

GuNBoAT SMITH 80.
WANTS NEWf lGHT

London, July 17.-Gunboat
Smith and his manager. Jim" Buck
ley, said today they intended to try
for return fight with Georges
Carpenter, the French heavyweight
who yesterday was awarded the de-
cision at Olympia when Smith was
disqualified in the sixth round for
hitting the Frenchman while he was
on the floor.
The American boxer declared he
would prefer the winner take the en-
tire purse or gate money.
Smith insists that the foul blow
did not hurt his opponent. The blow
which knocked him down in the
fourth round did not hurt, Smith
said. He laid down for the rest.
Deschamp. the Frenchman.s man
ager, said his principal was also eag
cr for a match about December next.
The stakes for last nights match
were paid over today, Carpenter re-
cciving check for $4,000, while
Buckley received $4,000 on behalf
of Smith, who was not present. Buck
ley took the check with dcmur but
refused to shake hands with Corri.
The chairman of the gathering an
nounccd that the proters of yester-
days match were ready to put up
another purse Of the same amount for
a return fight.
Dcschamps then revealed that he
had promised to match Carpenter
against Wells, If the Frenchman
proved successful in yesterdays
match. Afteer that match Carpen-
tier was ready to meet Smith again,
either in Europe or America.
While Buckley was cndeavoring
to discuss Corri's ruling the chairman
lsaid: -sg#.f s, .--
"In this country when a decision
is given by a referee, 1t is accepted
in sportsmanlikc way"
BuckIey's protest against the decis-
Ion was on the ground that 1t had
been agreed the seconds were to re-
main out of the ring until the refer
ecis decision.

ager, jumped into the ring iimmed-
