Judge Kunkel. The court interrupted
the mornings session for a few min

he said:
Before we begin the regular busi-

tunity to express to you my sincere
thanks for your loyal and generous
support of my candidacy for the Su-
preme bench at the recent election.
BY public meetings and by other open
manner you sought to secure for my

it is proper. L think, at this time, that
I should with equal publicity convey to
you my deep sense of appreciation of
what you said and did in my behalf.

most kind evidence of your confidence
and esteem. l thank you with all my

ments notice, putting you in quick
touch with points of interest far and

But the fact must not be overlooked
side-for example, as help to the
student in many of his scholastic ac-
tivities.
1t is always available for immediate
use on observation trips; for making
field surveys at points near by or at a
distance; for carrying the student OF
mining to localities where interesting
geological formations can be examined
at first hand. The student of agricul-
ture can use his leisure moments to
take runs through the nearby country
theories and methods covered in his
course of work.
Indeed, the practical uses of the mo-
| tocycle are almost unlimited.
The doctor uses Il for emergency
calls, where quick action is imperative.
The architect finds the. motorcycle a
time-saver and an energizer In keeping
every department of his work under
his immediate supervision. BY its ready
aid the civil or sanitary engineer can
widen the radius of his activities and
crowd more vital accomplishment into
a days work than with any other
means of transportation.
In farm life, the trips to town-the
little errands for which it is hardly
worth while to hitch up the horse
are taken care of quickly by the motor
cycle. The long days are made pleaes-
anter-fuller of achievement-through
its ever-ready service.
Our national government and our
city administrations have been quick to
realize and avail themselves of the po-
tentialities of the motorcycle. 1t is in
successful service in the Bureau of

due the cheapest and most efficient mo-
tor vehicle with the lowest running
cost that mechanical ingenuity has
ever developed.
improvements in the past few years
have been numerous and revolutionary.
The cradle spring frame brought out
last year is an instance. This device,
which absorbs all road shocks and vi
bration. has made the motorcycle fully
as comfortable to ride as an automo-
bile. The most conspicuous and valu-
able advance In 1914 has been the de-
velopment of motorcycle electricity -
that is. the electrically equipped ma
chine including electric starter.

Useless Weight Greatest
Burden of Motor Expense

Motorists are just awakening to the
fact that the greatest burden of ex-
penSe in operating their cars Is useless
weight" says c. A. Emise. vice-presi-
dent and sales manager of the Chandler
Motor Car Company. I'm the light of
to predict that the weight question is
going to be the biggest single selling
argument advanced during the coming
year.
"a glance at several of the more re-
cent automobile advertisements shows
that several motor car manufacturers
have already realized the Importance of
tise the actual weight of the car in
pounds, is also noticeable. Until two
years ago, when we began advertising
the weight of the Chandler Six as 2,SS5
pounds, this method of advertising
motor cars was unheard of. We had
expected other makers to rapidly fol-
low our example, but up to the present
time only very few have given actual
figures. the majority of cars being des-
ignated as light in weight
THE wonderful success obtained by
the makers of light but strongly con-
structed car selling at a low price has
been due in great measure to it's won-
derful economy Of operation Both in
tires and gasoline consumption, it's
economy was equaled by no other car
of its price in the world. This double
economy was traceable to but one thing
the absence of unnecessary weight.
Makers OF higher priced cars in both
the four and six-cylinder fields have
been slow to learn the lesson, but there

the elimination of this greatest of ali

seized upon this two wheeled vehicle

scarcely known the natural wonders
and delights of their country.
This self-same era is repeating itself
to-day by means of the motorcycle.
But with an undreamed-of comfort and
tenfold pleasure.
Gone is the fatigue of pedaling up
hills and against head winds-all the
exertions of cycling have disappeared
