HE FObL1N FONOM
WAR cARTOoNS.-Iha have become
so nauseated with the supposed-to-
be patriotic pictures which appear al
most daily on the editorial pages of
the Chicago American that l am
sure my views must also be shared by
other thinking readers. There are
Shiny attempts to ridicule our presi-
dent, and also to incite the feeble
minded to believe that war would be
a grand thing. The young America
cartoons in the Tribune are equally
disgusting.
l often wonder whether the men
who conceive these things have ever
seen men torn to pieces and wit
messed the horrors of warfare.
l served seven years in the United
States navy, and saw service in the
Philippines, Cuba and some of the
South American republics, and so far
havefailed to see anything grand or
romantic in men slaughtering each
other.
Under our present system war
sometimes becomes inevitable, but
if the yellow press would attend to its
business of giving the people the
news instead of a lot of false i'm
pressions and misrepresentation it
would tend to suppress jingoism to a
very great extent, but just as long as
we uphold capitalism we will have
war.
Our dear Mr.. Hearst is no doubt in
fear and trembling for the welfare of
his Mexican possessions, as are the
other capitalists who want us young
men sent out to be butchered that
they may put more dollars into their
already groaning coffers.-Edward

much of the ardent profession of pa
triotism of which we read so much.
The idea of levying the cost OF pre-
paration upon those most able to pay
the bills would probably modify the
great anxiety shown in many quar-
tiers.
Such a measure should be intro
duced in Washington. Coast defense
is advisable, also navy. Build those
things yourself, Mr.. Government.
AS to that big standing army, keep
your eye on that, Mr.. Workingman.
You are to be the units of that army
where you are to very graciously
shoot yourselves as sort of an apol-
ogy for having numbered the earth
with your presence.
Further than that, you wretches
have the privilege of voting and some
day may vote for yourselves. That
would be very annoying, indeed.
There is just preparedness, broth.
ers. 1t means that you prepare to
Iiberate yourselves from the hered-
itary curse of man-made laws and
governments that set arbitrary lines
all over the earth and make you re-
gard our brother across these lines
as a German, Frenchman, English
man, Russian, Yankee, etc.
Refuse to graciously' extermlnate

AT TEN ION, = l lCN-OF mEN:-
Are the people of Chicago foolish
enough to stand for 1,200 more po-
licemen? Are we not running in
debt fast enough as it is? Let me
give some figures. Out west of us
in Wheaton with 5000 people is one
policeman. If Chicago has 100000
people, then by the Wheaton rules
we ought to have 500 policemen. But
Chicago already has 1857 policemen.
What in the devil does it want any
more for? They could lay off 5000
police and still have the same ratio
as Wheaton.
If Chicago laid off 200 policemen,

Seat Covers Made to
Resist Water and Gasoline

"The recent refinements that have
been made in the production of seat
cover material for automobiles Is a
typical example of the many small i'm
provements that transpire yearly for
the comfort and we'll being of the
motorist." said G. r. Holm, represent
ing the Miller Auto Co., distributor for
the Haynes Light Six"
THE better grade seat covers day
are waterproof and dustproof. The
first covers that New England textile
manufacturer devised were made of a
thin gray cloth, with appearance as
their sole end. 1t was found that the
soft-toned grays and browns went to-
gether well with the heavier body and
top colors and that the patterns of seat
covers could be altered to meet the in
dividual requirements of the car and
owner. Their use became more gen.
eral when 1t was found that seat COW
ers aided in keeping dust and water
away from the leather.
THE use of the first waterproof
materials was not attended by perfect
success. 1t is almost inevitable that
grease spots will appear in any cloth
that is constantly close to an auto
mobile. and the first aid in such cases
is gasoline.
"The waterproof materials were
made by glueing together cotton
cloth and u rubberized fabric. Since

ing the story of the tour. mo en-
gine troubles or mechanical troubles
of any kind were encountered either
going or coming.
'"The automobile making the jour-
ney was a Chandler type 16, seven
passenger touring car. Prior to this
run the owner of the car. Nicol, had
driven the machine over 1900 miles
in a period of about four months
duration.
During the 500 miles covered by
the machine not one mechanical diff
ficulty has been encountered either
with engine or transmission, not one
cent required for repair work, not a
spark plug changed. Upon the COM
pletion of the Yosemite trip, the mo-
tor was examined and found in per-
feet condition throughout.
ut should be noted that this car at
the time it made the run was the only
vehicle of any kind whatsoever that
had entered the Yosemite Valley since
the middle of November, over 9
month before. The statement is ar
authentic one, made by the park off
cials themselves, and easily verified
by anyone interested"

Weight of Tire Does Not
Determine Its Efficiency

ut is not the weight Of tire that
determines it's efficiency and perform
ance on the road" says f. G. Mill
hoff, general sales manager of the
Miller Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio.
Because of the more pure rubber
used in constructing Miller 'geared-to-
the-road' tires and they're not being
loaded with heavy compounds which
increase the cubic weight, they do not
weigh as much, as the purer the rub
Der the lighter the specific gravity.
But they have the same external
measurements as a heavier weight
time. There is more volume con-
tents to Miller tire than any other.
1.-THE fact that one overcoat weighs
more than another does not indicate
that 1t will wear longer or be more
protection. The grade of material
enters into this and it is its specific
gravity that counts. The same basis
is used when tire calculation is made
by weight"

Zone System of Overland
Benefits Tourist on Road

Were you ever unfortunate in be-
ing caught in automobile breakdown,
whether on a pleasure jaunt or bust
ness trip, only to discover that the
city, town or hamlet in or near which
you happened to be, failed to dis
close branch or dealer that handled
the make of car in which you were
riding, or did not have on hand the
part or parts that had ben worn or
broken.
Very embarrassing wasn't it, TO say
the least
This is one contingency against
which the WHY'S Overland Company
of Toledo endeavors in every way to
protect owners and users of it's cars.
The United States is divided into fif-
teen zones in order to establish parts
headquarters in as many sections of
the country.
AS an illustration, in Minneapolis
maintains its northwest branch, u
$750,000 stock of parts is kept in stock.
At San Francisco fully as much, is not
more, is always on hand. Cleveland,
TOO, carries its share. New York,
London, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong,
Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, or even
Melbourne or Brisbane in far-off Aus
tralia, are fully equipped to take care
of the Overland user.
And it is not only parts of 1916
models that are carried. To date there
have been sold, and are in use, $50, 900

output. A complete supply of parts
on all models is continually on hand
TO take cars of cars that are ailing,
for ailments of all kinds occur occa-
sionally even in the best regulated
families.
The factory. too, is always alert to
take care of the owner of an Overland
machine. That is why almost daily
there are manufactured some parts of
the 1908, 1909 or 1910 models, at
greatly increased cost in production,
as 1t means the temporary dismantling
of the new dies and molds in ia vor
of their predecessors.
overland service" is Just another
feature in which the WHY'S verland
eNcels, and an advantage that should
be given equal consideration with the
mechanical construction of a car by
the prospective purchaser.

the gasoline reacts with the CLUES that
are used for their purpose, not a few
early seat cover users discovered that
they had purchased two covers instead
of one.
The latest and best covers are
made by waterproofng a woolen cloth
with a chemical which gasoline will
not dissolve. These covers protect the
leather against the inroads of both
dust and water and can be made in
designs or colors garish enough to suit
any taste.
Most of the better and higher
priced cars are equipped with seat
covers as a part of the standard equip
ment"

TEACH MOTORISTS
CARE OF FINISH
Aim of Nationwide Movement
by Big Detroit Manu-
facturer

BY q nationwide campaign-a cam
paign in which all other manufactur-
ers are welcome to join-the Maxwell
Motor Company of Detroit aims to
educate motorists to the fact that 1t
is within their power to prolong for
years the original glossy finish which
their cars bear at the time of pur-
chase.
In furthering their campaign the
Maxwell company is enlisting the help
of its own army of distributors and
statesmen. 1t has also shown it's own
good faith in the matter by adding
to the standard equipment of each of
its cars a can of automobile polish
of n brand tested and approved by
competitive trial in its own plants.
IAN automobile is finished with
greater care than most pianos," de-
clares President Walter e. Flanders
of the Maxwell company. "Yet it is
freely exposed to the weather of all
seasons. Often it is allowed to stand
for weeks without washing. Especial
ly in the case of popular priced cars,
is it possible that the owner utterly
fails to recognize the need of an oc-
casional use of automobile polish as a
finish preservative.
mo combination of paint and var
nsh, no matter how we'll laid on or
how carefully hand-rubbed can sur
Vive rough treatment indefinitely,
without losing ltS elaSJlClty ana luSter.
A good polish is essential, especially in
seasons of extreme temperatures.
I'VE hope that our plan of start
ing each Maxwell buyer with a supply
of polish will demonstrate the value
of this important factor in the care
of his car. Our Interests are mu-
tual. A small amount of time, spent
in polishing the car will greatly in
crease the owners satisfaction and will
retain the value of his car. The good
looks of the car will reflect credit on
its finish and will help us and our
dealers"
In furtherance of the "keep-your-
motorcar- loolling-lik -like-new" idea, the
Maxwell forces have featured it at all
recent sales conferences. Dealers are
requested to make especial efforts at
instructing owners of cars. 1t is
urged that, with the present degree Of
mechanical perfection, it is no longer
necessary to devote special attention
20 teaching owners problems of op-
Grafton, and that they are therefore
in better position than ever to learn
how to care for finish and appear
