SENDING A MAN BY MAIL.
II 10 Quite Possible Under British
Parcel Post Rules.

The parcel post has made It's useful
ness felt In many ways, unexpected as
well as foreseen. But the English par
eel post does one surprising thing that
has not yet been introduced into our
own system.
An Englishman wished TO reach a
customer living In remote part Of
BALKAN, one Of the suburbs OF J london.
and 1t was very necessary that he find
him quickly. Knowing nothing Of the
district, he called at the general post
office at st. Martin's-le-Gr TO con.
suit directory. On explaining his
case to a clerk he was amazed TO learn
that he could be sent TO the address
by parcel post by paying a fee Of
threepence a mile.
The gentleman had never heard Of
such thing, and 1t IS said that very
few persons In England know that 1t
can be done. He was placed in charge
Of messenger who was familiar with
all parts OF the city and was soon on
his way. The boy carried printed
slip on which was written a descrip-
ton of the parcel in charge under
the heading article Required to Be
Delivered" and before leaving the GUS
toner's house both the customer and
the gentleman had to put their sigma.
lures on the paper.
The limit In weight for anything de-
livered by parcel post in England Is
generally understood to be eleven
pounds, but there is one clause that
reads, "a person may be conducted by
express messenger TO any address on
payment Of the mileage fee."-YOuth's
Companion.

Reform Wave Sweeps Country

This number is by the writer's of my
LITTLE DREAM GIRL" MY
SWEET ADAIR," and Il LOVE YOU
THAT'S ONE THING KNOW" l.,
Wolfe Gilbert and Anatol Friedland
have written the best number of their
career in "SHADES OF NIGHT"
The other number is an instrumental
novelty that is in a class by itself, en-
titled THE BUGLE CALL RAG"
The clever arrangement of bugle calls
predominating throughout this mum.
ber creates as remarkable a musical
piece as any issued in years. To give
the general public an idea OF these
better class numbers, the publishers
have granted us permission to print
herewith an excerpt of each.

A Curious Relic.

A curious relic Of Louis XVII. Is the
game Of dominos" made Of pieces of
the Bastille which were given to the
dauphin before he and his parents left
Versailles forever. 1t Is said that
when the box containing It was
brought In the queen exclaimed to her
bedchamber woman, Nine. Campan
what sinister playthlng to give a
child" The sinister plaything Is, with
other revolutionary objects, preserved
In Paris.
The Harrison times., 1916-05-27

Throughout the country there seems
to be trend towards reform in every
walk of life. Not only as far as moral
ethics go. but the stage in all its
branches is also undergoing radical
change for the better. 1t is very OBJ
viously so in the popular song busi-
ness. Tie publishers have instructed
their writers to give them better grade
lyrics and melodies, because the pub
lie demand it. The most reputable
music publishing concerns in the bus
mess, Jos, w. Stern & Co.. is setting
the pace by publishing two numbers
that border on the classic. Still they
are promoting them as popular songs.
One is a high-class song and inter-
mezzo entitled SHADES OF NIGHT"

OAKLAND PLANNING
ADDITION TO PLANT
General Motors Company Will
Have Another Solid Block
for Factory.
NOW WORKING TO CAPACITY

Announcement has been made by
Fred w. Warner, Pontiac, Mich, gen
eral manager of the Oakland Motor
Car company, that plans for large
addition to the plant had been ap-
proved and building operations on
an extensive scale will begin as soon
as the bulldogs on the old Studebaker
site have been removed.
In addition to the four acres COM
prised in the Studebaker site, recently
bought by the General Motors COM
|pany, President Durant authorized the
purchase of eleven additional parcels,
which will give the company another
solid block, extending from Oakland
Avenue north to Howard street. Con-
tracts for the work will call for COM
pletion of the additional buildings by
October l.
The new buildings will be occupied
by machine shop and additional as
sembly departments, which the Oak
land company is compelled to add in
order to bring the output up to a
point, which will approach the de-
mand for their new models, particu-
larly the six-cylinder car, which has
proved to be one of the sensational
features of the year in motordom.
July /, the Oakland company had
contracts for the sale and delivery of
several thousand cars over and above
the total output of the fiscal year,
with agencies and branch managers
insistently demanding larger appor-
tionment. In view of the fact that the
present plant has been worked to ca
pacity without supplying the trade it
became evident that large addition
to its output would have to be &C
complished Immediately if the new
business offered was to be accepted
and the disappointment Of agents and
customers was to be avoided.

Packard Cars Are
Chosen for Wilson

A rather unusual compliment was
paid to a Detroit automobile this week
on the occasion of President Will
sons visit to Detroit in connection
with the worlds salesmanship con-
gress. >r4r4..
The arrangements for the presi-
dental parade were made by COM
mittee consisting largely of automo-
bile manufacturers, who decided
unanimously that the Packard was the
logical choice of cars to convey the
presidential party and members OF
the reception committee. This deci-
sion was reached without any sug-
gestion from the Packard company
and resulted in FIVE twin skies" being
placed at the head of the parade. The
incident has some significance as
showing the broad-minded spirit OF
the Detroit automobile men.

WILLARD BATTERY
lPROYES A STICKLER
est by King People at Sleeps.
head Bay Track Brings Out
Staying Qualities.
a. A. A. OFFICIALS THERE

A unique test was recently staged
by the King Motor car company at
Sheepshead Bay track. The test was
made with stock car. The object
was to run continuously until some
part OF the car broke down or 10000
mites had been covered, or two weeks
time had elapsed.
Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska
\ Storage Battery company calls atten-
tion to the fact that one of the Access
sories on the car, which consisted en-
tifely of standard equipment, was a
Willard storage battery used in con-
nection with the starting, lighting and
ignition system.
during the entire two weeks run
the engine was not stopped and the
car itself was only stopped in order
to replenish oil, gasoline, water and
tires. Lights were left burning almost
continuously. The headlights and an
additional spotlight furnished illumi-
nation at night for the car to be guild
ed around the track.
Engine Never Stops.
If the storage battery had refused
to perform its functions properly the
engine would have stopped and the
test wuold have been ruined. But
nothing of the kind happened. o.
casionally gravity reading was taken
and water was added three times.
While this addition of water was I'M
necessary, it was a means of playing
safe and making sure of battery per-
Torrance.
After the test was completed one
of the battery cells was torn down
and inspected. This was done in the
presence of S. E. Edwards, chairman
Of the test, and also member Of the
American Automobile association
contest committee, as well as Messrs.
Shipper and Elsner of the same COM
mittee. The battery proved to be in
perfect condition. Plates and separa-
tors were unframed by the long run,
which covered 10,850 miles during the
two weeks.
The average speed was nearly forty
miles per hour. A test of this kind
is equivalent to the amount of driving
done by the average car owner in two
wears time.
