Accepted By Motorists

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com

to prove superior to competing makes
on the basis of cost per mile.
The announcement was made in the
leading papers Of the country little
more than a week ago, and the result
Is such as to more than confirm the
Goodyear belief in the value of news

<'The offer continues through April.

TIP FROM UNCLE SAM
NETS.H|M THOUSANDS
California Miner Emerging From
Death Valley Nearly Dead
Goes Back in Quad.

How California miner made thou
sands of dollars by taking a tip from
Uncle Sam is the latest and most ro-
mantle chapter In the history Of trans
portation.
Several months ago there emerged
from the Funeral Range. on the west
side Of Death Valley. prospector who
was all but dead from exhaustion.
Only the knowledge Of having discov-
cred a rich gold mine spurred him on
to safety.
But when he recovered sufficiently to
go and claim his riches. he was faced
with the problem OF transportation.
Wagons were impossible, the grades be.
ing too steep. Pack Mules would not
do, as the animals needed more water
themselves than they could carry be-
tween wells. Motor trucks Of the ordi-
nary type were tried, but they all quit
at the first steep grade.
Then came the tip from Uncle Sam.
One Of the army officers at San Diego
told of a new type Of motor truck call
ed the quad. which drives, brakes, and
steers on all four wheels, and which
was recently adopted by the Govern,
ment for use in the Quartermaster and
Signal Corps of the army. This truck,
he said, waded right through sand or
roadless country wherever there was a
holding bottom. and simply laughed AT
the hills.
So the Death Valley miner tried a
quad, which heA operated between his
mine and Zabriskis, a little town on the
Tonopah and TtdeSater railroad. Soon
he had an offer ofNS7o 40 for his prop
erty, and sold out. The next owne
Had carried away $50 900 worth Of ore
with the quad when nc got an offer OF
sl5o. 900. which he accepted. Still an
other change OF ownership came when
the price was boosted to $4,000. But
the present owner Is not talking sale.
Instead he has bought two more quads.
and his fortune will soon be reckoned
in millions.

A DINNER For Any Law.

An ingenious arrangement makes II
possible for purchasers OF the new De-
troiter Eight to conform to any dim
mer regulation. without being compelled
to invest in any OF the more or less ex-
pensive apparatus made for the purpose.
The Detroiter DINNER consists of an iron
core around which the feed wire is
wrapped. AS these coils are unwrapped,
the amount of current that reaches the
single filament bulb Is increased. 1t
being possible to have any light from
one candlepower to the full eighteen
candlepower. For the full power of the
light for country driving, a switch is
provided which cuts out the DINNER and
allows the full current to flow from the
battery.

Three Cigarette Faults
to Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that
don't just suit your own taste.
Second, avoid those that
bother your throat or tongue.
Third, avoid those that
make you feel mean" after
smoking all you want.
If Fatimas, for instance,
seem to you to be guilty on
any one of those three counts,
we say, avoid Fatinlas.

FatiInas can't possibly please
