out many motorists who have met
with trouble of some kind
The business has paid so well dur
ing the past summer and fall months
that Gill is extending his operations
and is planning on putting on two
more public service" cars. One of
these little Chevrolet garage trucks
is to cover the Imperial Valley and
the other is to work the highway
north of Los Angeles, while Gill
covers the San Diego-Los Angeles run.
There are so many auto stages in
operation on the highways Of south
ern- California that Gill is almost
able to devote his entire time to CIV
ing service to these stages On ac-
count of the baggage carried and the
weight Of the passenger loads, these
stages run as light as possible. They
carry no extra oil and only the gaso-
line in the regular tank.
Gill makes it point to met these
stages on the road at the points
where the passengers stop for meals,
where he fills the stages with oil and
gas and often makes a few adjust
ments while the driver is eating hur-
ried meal In this service he assists
the stage drivers in maintaining a
regular schedule and he has become
very popular with the stage drivers,
who boost his STOCK with motorists all
along the highway.
The fact that the upkeep of the
Chevrolet is so small and gasoline
mileage is so great, Gill is able to
cover a great deal of territory, with
little overhead expense, and he is
making an excellent profit on his
novel business venture.

FCRLUNGCURE.
Young Bank Clerk Seeks Re-
lief From White Plague BY
Driving Chevrolet Car

! SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. Cal
The motor car is hailed as the latest
cure for lung troubles.
No longer is 1t necessary for the suf-
4 ferer to betake himself out on the
desert In search of relief from the
dreaded white plague" All that is
necessary is a motor car. according to
Alfred Gill, to overcome this i'll.
Alfred Gill is former Los Angeles
bank clerk who had to get out in the
open for his health. His lungs were
affected and he was told by DR.. w,
Fred Stahl, well-known throat and
lung specialist of the Angel City, that
If he did not get out in the open and
give up the work in the bank he would
follow several bank clerks who had
died from the same cause during the
previous few months.
Bank work was all that young Gill
knew and he was afraid to give up
his place over the books at the bank
for fear that he could not make a liv-
ing on the outside. Finally, Dr. Stahl
made him see where it was no worse
to be without a job than to die like
/ his fellow clerks on the job he had, SO
Gill took the jump
The young bank clerk had a very
small bank roll, so he was not able
to invest In any business; but he hit
upon the idea of travelling garage
with the small amount of capital he
nao he purchased a Chevrolet -Four
Ninety touring car on the time pay
ment plan. He then had small truck
body built to replace the touring BODY
This he stocked up with tires. oil
tools and small line of accessories
and started out to get business on the
highway.
AT first business was slow. 1t look
ed as If the venture was bound to
fail, but little by little the young man
with travelling garage worked UP
business and today he has his health
and is making more money than the
highest paid clerk in the bank.
On the Chevrolet garage Gill car
ries a large tank of gasoline. He car
ries three grades of oil, an assortment
Of tires and tubes. tools for repair
work and a small supply of parts.
| The little Chevrolet public service"
car is a common sight on the high
way between Los Angeles and San
Diego and Gill now has many regular
customers, who stop and take on oil
and gasoline whenever they meet him.
Gill has always been an excellent me-
chanic and he is able to do repair
work on the road, which saves many
motorists the Inconvenience of being
towed in to the nearest garage
Gill often stops at San Juan Capis-
trano on his runs up and down the
highway between Los Angeles and
San Diego and he is well known here.
On some Sundays and holidays Gill
drives his little Chevrolet service
wagon up the Ridge route between Sau-
gus and Bakersfield, where he helps

one reason why we are selling Fed

az to the quality Of Saxon Roadster construe-
ton. Think what Il proves az to the ability
Of Saxon Roadster to stand up under the
hardest kind Of service.
Another feature Of Saxon Roadster economy
Is its easiness on tires. In the first place
tires for this car cost but $3.50 each, and
this is big saving when compared with the
cost of tires on other low-priced roadsters.
In the next place, because Saxon Roadster

thousands and thousands of other buyers
have reached-that Saxon Roadster 10 the
Iowest-priced, absolutely modern car,in the
world.

tects the motor from everlasting and over
working because the proper speed can be
maintained under all road conditions. car
which has not three-speed transmission
simply cannot compare with the Saxon Road
ster in flexibiity and efficiency.
TIMKEN AxLES. To the motor wise there
is no need for elaboration on this feature.
Thinker axIes are conceded to be the finest
axles manufactured. Throughout the chassis
are the famous Hyatt Quiet bearings-an-
other costly car attraction.
STREAMLINE BODY. In smartness and at
tractiveness Of appearance Saxon Roadster
is absolutely unrivaled. Its streamIine design
is another piece Of evidence which estab-
fishes the superiority Of Saxon Roadster In
the low-priced field.
HoNEYcoMB RADIATOR. This honeycomb
radiator assures you that your Saxon will al
ways keep cool. You can pull for mile after
mile through heavy sand, on low, without the
water in your radiator coming to boil.
ROADABILITY. Though light in weight,
Saxon Roadster is so ably designed, 50
strongly constructed, and so well balanced,
that it cIings closely to the road-even over
the toughest spots-or in going at high rate
of speed. This marked reliability Of the
Saxon also makes it "handIe" most easily.
ADVANCEMENT IGNITION SYSTEM. This
ignition system Is regarded as one Of the
best and most efficient systems on the mar
ket. The highest-priced cars can have no
better. II has been proved the best type Of
ignition for small, hgh-priced motor.
EASY RIDING. Saxon Roadster is the easiest
riding, most comfortable, Iow-priced road
ster in the world. The long, resilient springs
are made of the best quality vanadlur steel.

SOFT COAL SOURCES
Unless 1000 Tons Are Supplied by
Monday New Orders Will Be Placed.

Unless the coal contractors who sup
ply the District deliver loo tons of coal
lby 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, other con-
tractors will be asked to submit bids for
furnishing the fuel, This was the ulti-
matum laid down to the contractors yes
terday by NJ. C. Hargrove. purchasing
agent for the District.
For the first time since the coal situa-
tion became acute, decisive steps toward
the relief of the problem were taken, the
purchasing agent asking all schools to
submit a requisition for the amount of
coal they need. This list will be kept
on file, and s-fast as coal Is received. Il
will be sent to the school whose needs
are most critical.
Although demands for immediate de-
liveries Of coal were made to the pur-
chasing agent OF the District yesterday
by nine schools, none of them will he
for at least four days, according to Ern-
est 1. ThurstOn, superintendent of
Schools.
Several of the schools were forced yes
terday to use hard coal. being unable to
obtain the soft variety. and this pre-
sents a serious outlook, as hard coal
costs nearly twice as much as soft coal.
With no relief from the cold wave
promised for forty-eight hours, the situa-
tion may grow serious, but II Is not
thought by school officials that any OF
the buildings will have to close.
Government buildings may also suffer
II the cold weather continues. With
hardly any soft coal on hand. the State,
War and Navy. Treasury. Agriculture
and other departments Will probably be
forced to use hard coal today.
