DIR. REIK LECTURES ON
"OUR NATIONAL PARKS"
Shows Wonderful Beauties of Great
Federal Reserves in the West-Con-
cludes Series Next Saturday.

1t is certain that all who heard DR..
H. o. Reik's lecture at the Masonic
auditorium yesterday afternoon on Our
National Parks" are thoroughly i'm
bued with the desire to see America
first" which propaganda has received
much impetus of late due to the Euro
pean war.
The great Federal reserves give
wonderful opportunity for the use of
cOIored photography. as well the
moving pictures. both of which have
been awaited of with success by DR..
Reik in his visits to Yellowstone. Yo-
semitic. and Glacier. and it was a treat
to be able to again make the ina gil
nary journey with him.
The famous scenery of the Yellow
stone. probably the largest of the pub
lie Fairgrounds, seemed more stupen-
dOus as pictured and on account of the
vivid description Of the speaker. This
mountain region. its extraordinary gey-
sers, canyons and boiling springs lent
themselves entrancinSly to the photog-
rapher's art.
DIR. Reik will conclude his course of
lectures next Saturday afternoon with
a talk on the Beauties of the Atlantic
Seaboard."

PRICE OF OLDSMOBILE
EIGHT REDUCED MORE
Manufacturers Spring Surprise by I'm
expected Reduction of 500 Before
Car Reaches Dealers.

At a time when such a move was
totally unexpected. the Odds Motor
Works has announced a reduction of
800 in the price of its new eight
cylinder car. The new price of s1,lsS
went into effect while the first cars
were en- route from the factory to
the more distant points. and before
the shipments had reached their des-
tination This surprising move on
the part of the builders of the ODDS
is in keeping with the character Of
thesmotor car business, which has I'M
dergone such a rapid succession Of
unlooked-for and revolutionary changes
during the past few years
The sudden action Of the Olds COM
pany was brought about primarily by
the overwhelming demand IL Is eX-
periencing for its eight. This demand
necessitated a much larger production
than the factory had counted on. and
the sudden increase in production
plans figured in the purchasing OF
materials to such an extent that the
reduced price was made possible
The very fact that we had actual
orders for more eight-cylinder cars
than the factory could possibly build
for many months" declares ]. V. Hail.
sales manager. enabled US to reduce
the price and completely revise our
program for production and the pur-
chase of materials"
The OIds plants have gradually in
creased their production capacity. ana,
while the reduction means material

G.. w. u. Miitarists Win Out
In Battle for Preparedness
Rexford l. Holmes Admits He Cannot Change University
Spirit, but May Organize Paci6sts Among Alumni
to Check ''War-like" Ideas.

Some of the alumni already have eX-
pressed their approval Of my stand. and
1t is possible that an organized protest
will be filed.
Il was an ardent advocate of prepared
ness until a few weeks ago. After list
ening to addresses presented by some Of
the leading thinkers of our own and for
eign countries at the recent convention
of the American Peace Society, however.
came to feel that there are two sides
TO the question. My change of mind also
was influenced by the utterances OF Mr..
Bryan. II people will study the question
thoroughly and fill their minds with ar
guments of the leading thinkers of the
age. instead of calmly accepting the gen.
eral view of preparedness for national
defense there will be a change of senti-
ment in this country corresponding to
my own. and instead OF a elamor for
larger armies and navies and the forma-
ton in high schools and colleges OF mill
tary companies with the consequent in
CulCation % the minds OF the students of
militaTistic ideals. there will be a saner
national attitude. which will find its ex-
preston in the furtherance OF the meth

Their feet kept perfect step to the

they were given an ovation from

Iy a complete victory. Opposition on

TALES OF WOE ARRIVING
By WILLIAM ULLMAN.

War has been declared by the
American Automobile Association
against the various fake motoring or
ganizations which have sprung into
being during the past few years. espe-
cially those of the "bargain-giving"
variety. II is this latter class whose
activities are the most pernicious and
against which the wrath OF the great
body Of motorists is leveled particu-
larry.
The so-called ''bargain-giving" or
ganizations are those which deal in
automobile supplies and various kinds
Of protection for motorists. Those
who have been "stung' know the type
referred to. and those who have not
as yet been caught In their net. after
reading this no doubt will proceed
with caution when offered a bargain
by a undertaking gentleman rep
resenting an association with a high
sounding title.
These organizations usually have
splendid concentrations. The repre-
sentative approaches you with a letter
from one or more persons you know by
reputation, II not personally. These let
tiers are genuine. and IL you should per-
sOnally interview the signer. the organ
liza ton would be recommended.

branch Of the organization is decided

feels certain that luck has reached him
at last. And he gets much for his
money He is so well pleased that he
cheerfully recommends the organization
to his friends. There you are. Simple.

OF woe are arriving at National headquar-
tiers in this city from every section Of
the country and those local motorists who
have had any ill-starred adventures with
these concerns are requested to forward
their experiences.
And here il a word for motorists ev-
erywhere:
II you want a good tire. you must ex-
pect to pay fair price: II YOU get ar
