THE AGE-HERALD, SUNDAY MAY 3, 1914

H. Gafford. Jr., of the Goodyear Rubber company. This is many times greater than the daily production of any other motorcycle tire factory department in the world
 Here are the figures showing what our factory turned out in motorcycle tires st week: Monday, 1403: Tuesday 151; Wednesday. 1514; Thursday. 1565; Friday, 1880 We work only a half day Satur- days. so the figure for last Saturday is not included. Think of it-773S motor cycle tires in five days to take care of the demand for Goodyears. And yet some people still speak of the motorcycle in- dustry and it's accessories as an infant Industry
 "We have. incidentally, improved the Goodyear product for motorcycles over last year. Our 1914 tread is tougher, and the whole tire more efficient and wear resisting than ever before. It is upon our policy of seeking always to improve the quality of our product that we base Good year popularity. Comparing our sales rec ords with the figures of motorcycle pro- duction. we are assured that at least half the motorcycle tire business of the coun- try for 1914 will be Goodyear business If concentration on the problem of making the best tire that sSilland experience can devise counts for anything, we believe our proportion of the country's business will keep on growing in the future just as remarkably as it has done in the past few years.'I

VANISHING RIVERS
 IN WESTERN.K KANSAS
Streams That the Shifting Sands of Prairie Are Blotting Out

The Arkansas river in southwestern Kansas and the Republican through the extreme northwestern part of the state are now the two rivers of consequence that point 10 thedays of navigation in western Kansas, says the Kansas City Star
 The bed of the Republican, except for a narrow strip in the center of the orig inal course, is covered with rich fields of alfalfa. The Arkansas, either from the fact of its being larger stream orig inalIy or for some other cause, has bat tied with more success against the ele- ments and is now dry only portion of the time.
 But the Arkansas is fighting losing battle and the winds and drifting sands are slowly but surely accomplishing, their ends, and the day is not 1ar distant when this once mighty stream will be buried forever from the eye of man. But these streams, like their predecessors, will con- tinue to flow as subterranean rivers.
 Thus we have the under1ow of western Kansas fed fro mthe mending snows of the mountains and ceaseless rainfall that seeps away. The underfiow is nothing

Teddy Tetzlaff
 Signed By Maxwell

According to Manager T. c. Barrett of the Ensley Motor company, Terrible Teddy Tetzlaff has been engaged to drive the racing Maxwell at the 5o0-mile classic race on May %. He says:
 "Terrible Teddy Tetzlaff, the idol of the Pacific coast, and present world S record road champion, is to drive a Max well.
 ''The famous foreign car driver has agreed to shift his allegiance to an Amer ican car.
 'The last cars which Teddy has driven were the Fiat and the Isotta.
 ''Tetzlaff is best known as the winner of two Santa Monica races, in one of which he lowered the world record by driving the distance at an average of 78:50 miles per hour, a record which stands today, after. many onsaughts.
 "The driving of the Western Demon is of the most sensational order and such events as the Tacoma road race, second in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 5O0- mile race two years ago, and many other important wins and records mark his greatest achievements.
 "TetzlRff has earned the sobriquet of Wild Teddy owing to the reckless abandon with which he drives a car. In almost every event in which he has failed to prove the winner he has been in the lead when he retired from the event. ow-
  driven his cars. He led both the Vander~. bilt cup race and the Grand Prix races at Milwaukee when he was retirsc, and the same applied at Tacoma ars Santa Mon ica this year.
 This practically completes the person. nel of the Maxwell .eam, which now has two California2.s at the wheel, Tetzlaft and Carlson.
 ''Tetzlar IS expected to reach Indian apoli5 the early part of the coming week and will go to Detroit to the Maxwell fac- tory to get his car and start practice on the course. Ray Harroun has advised his associate, E. A. Moross, that the first Maxwell will be ready this week, and that Carlson will be given the first car. as he is the first to sign his team con- tract. Tetzlaff will be awarded the sec ond mount
 Both of the drivers have been en- tered and nominated for the Speedway event, leaving but one other driver to ba signed, and as Moross is now in touch with both Hemery and Nazarre by cable and with Hughes and other American pilots. the indications are that all three cars will be working out their respective pilots within the next few days.
 '"The Maxwell will enter three cars and Will not have one entered in the name of an individual. Carl G. Fisher, president of the Speedway. has advised Moross that this method of entering cars will not avail in holding three car teams in the race. In event of having more than 90 entrants. MT. Fisher explains that the 30 fastest cars would be the starters. Tn as much as Harroun, in his contract with the Maxwell company has agreed that his cars shall show 8 speed for a lap of 37 and as this Is faster than any car ever covered the distance officially, the indi- cations are that the Maxwells at least will not be forced to loose one of their cars through failure to qualify"

more or less than the buried streams of the plains. Alfalfa planted along the low lands or bottoms finds it's way to these sunken streams and has an inexhaustible supply of water. Sometimes the under flow is three feet down and sometimes 70 and more. Alfalfa will find the water in the course of a few years at the latter depth.
 It requires only q few test wells and an expert driller to locate the very center of these buried streams in a short time. A test hole is put down to shale and the log of the water bearing gravel aAcurate- ly kept. The drill is then moved north or south some 50 feet and another well put down and the log kept The bed of gravel will be thicker or thiner
 If thicker the driler knows he is near ing the center of the stream. so he keeps putting down his test wells until the gravel bed begins to get thinner. The spot where the gravel bed and sand are deepest he knows to a centainty is the center of the ancient stream. There he prepares to sink his big well. install his pump and lift the water to the surface for irrigation purposes.
 The last quarter of a century has served to prove conclusively the theory of the sunken rivers Of western Kansas. Bridges that were installed in the sos were built

 In the spring and summer, when the rain comes down in floods, these streams become roaring torrents mile or more wide. nan0eifc of ri md to bo amount Of millions of cubic yards are washed down until the water loses it's fury and carrying strength and Is then left to assist the wind in the filling up process.
 The big bridges at Syracuse, Garden City, Wichita and other places prove only too truly the passing of the once mighty Arkansas. Bridges across the Republi- can river ir northern Kansas now serve their purpose only in flood times. It is no longer considered necessary to build the bridges even on piers Cement road ways are laid right on the sand of the river bed and a perfect crossing is thus made.
 The cement remains intact against th0 | washing and wearing of the annual fresh- cts; there are no piers to repair or broken boards to replace. and the items oe ex- pense to the county commissioners end when the last shovelful of cement is dumped in and smoothed down. The exact course of the largest of these sunken streams is not known at the pres ent time. Places where it touches are know to certainty. The most notable of these is northern Finney and southern Scott counties. One well south of Scott City, right in the center of the old stream, supplies 1000 gallons of water a minute. Tt is 65 feet to the water. and it is impossible for the large centrifugal pump to lower the water more than i2 feet.

 Remove 20 feet of the surface soil from the tooth meridian west to the Colorado state line and western Kansas would be covered with streams of sparkling water flowing in the general direction of the Missouri river. Remove 100 feet and the number of such streams would be doubled. Geologists, who reckon time by the mill lions of years. tell us that ages and ages ago the Gulf of Mexico covered what Is now Kansas.
 An age passed and the gulf recedel and the high lands were islands and the low
 lands were in the form of flowing rivers The winds swept over the high lands for another million years and the soil loos- ened and Crifted and the rivers began to fill up Then shallow valleys became broad prair:es and the banks of the flow ing streams began to close in. Thus ages passed and the wind blew for centuries and the soil drifted until today flowing streams Of any consequence are a thing of the past in western Kansas.

The Worlds Best Seller

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 The American Bible society issu<d last year approximately 100000 copies of the Bible. and since the organization in 1916, it has issued close to 100,000,000 copies. This in addition to the enormous sale of Bibles by private concerns and publish ing houses.
 Here is, indeed, the "best sellerp of all books No other book has ever approxl- mated it even for a single season. Each year shows wider circulation than the previous year It remains the one book for which the whole world finds place.
 Apart from all questions of religion, the influence of the Bible has never been ap- preached by that of any other book or document. Volumes have been written to show the influence of the Scriptures upon the writings of all the great poets of the ages. The style of the masters of lan- guage has been affected more by the noble phrasnR of the Bible than by any other one force.
 Men may argue about the Bible and it's meanings. but as to it's appeal there can

Proving Durability
 of the Automobile

According to "Red" Smith of tho Cadil- lac Motor Car company, there was recent ly an odd demonstration of the durability of the Cadillacs in Louisville. ky. He says:
 "A unique demonstration of the thor. ouehness of manufacturing policies and methods was recently made by dealer In Louisville Ky. The dealer in question wished to prove the durability of his car and to do this in convincing, spectacu- lar manner, publicly dismantled . Cad- lilac that had run 5000 miles without ever having been overhauled.
 "A force of mechanics removed all tho parts from tho chassis and put them on exhibition on . large stand 70 that they could be examined just as they came from a period of steady service which might readily be considered more than the entire life of the average automo- bile. The nearly perfect state of those parts. many of which could not ba dis- tinguished from new ones even on hto oiosost examination, caused something of . sensation and one of tho spectators pur- chased tho car on the spot. thus proving the affeetivsnesa of this manner of dem. onstratinE durability of material and ac- ouracy of manufacture"

Large crowds greeted the party at Dekalb Dixon and Sterling. At the end of the tour in Sterling, a big mass meet ing was held to urge the continuance of road work until Illinois is lifted from the mud.
 All along the route the governor and other officials were interested in the road building machinery that was in use. In- terest was centered chiefly in a new White good roads tr&ctor which has revolu. tionized road construction and saved large sums for several counties. This tractor was sent over the roads from Chicago to Mooseheart for use on the state aid road.
 In addition to hauling and dumping ma terials, the tractor is used for spreading and rolling and also for pulling road drags, graders and traiers. One tractor has supplanted 30 mules and saved $70O a month. The machine is built with broad gauge steel wheels, enabling it to oper- ate soft on fresh-made surfaces, where mules or horses cannot pull.
