The 5000 pound cars which a few
Years ago, could average but eight or
ten miles on gallon of gasoline can
now travel from fourteen to twenty
miles on the same amount of inferior
fuel.
Furthermore the groundwork has
been laid for the improvement of mo-
tor fuel. The precarious condition of
the gasoline supply has induced chem
lists to give their attention to the de-
velopment of a synthetic gasoline or
substitute for this fuel. Already the
amount of gasoline that can be ex-
tracted from a given amount of crude
oil has increased several fold, and ex-
perts believe the end has not been
reached.
1T is not overestimating facts to say
that third has been cut off automo-
bile operating expenses during the
past winter"

This newest Overland is the
worlds most powerful low
priced car.
It has a 3112 horsepower en-
bloc motor that is a perfect
marvel for speed, power
and endurance.
BY increasing the bore of the
motor from 31s to 3s8" we
are able to offer a power
plant which at 1850 RPM.
develops full 3112 horse
power.
Tests under every condition
in all parts of the country
demonstrate that it easily
develops better than fifty
miles per hour on the road.
Speed of course varies under
different conditions, but in
practically every instance it
has been getting fifty miles
an hour and with ease.

futile as development discloses and while
perhaps it is only weakness of our human
nature that we find it impossible always to
reconcile ourselves to Gods will, it is in
perative, if We would find happiness here
on earth, to persevere in doing the best we
can. And among the best that is possible
to all of US is the ability to live out our
minutes worthily, not so much from sense
of duty as from our complete surrender to
a higher Power. Once we evidence dis
position to accept all things as coming from
Him, trials and joy, distress and happiness,
and by being brave enough to make the
minutes tell in worthy and acceptable
manner he will take care Of the rest, the
long days and years to which we all look
forward with more or less eagerness.
We cannot truly learn the secret of life by
giving ourselves over to gloomy thoughts.
We must insist upon keeping our faces
turned to the sun Of happiness however
impossible conditions appear to make such
an act. We cannot thrive in dark places
any more than plants that need the fresh
air and sunlight can. 1t is inevitable that
the shadows of misfortune must fling them
selves over our paths at intervals, but we
can, by making use of our right to the in
dividual moments of our lives, emerge from
the gloom as soon as it is humanity possible
