.BULCARS AND GERMANS
READY TO STRIKE NOW

BERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 4.-Ac-
cording to reports here, the Bulgar-
ians and Germans have about half
million men ready for an attack at
Saloniki. The greatest difficulty the
Bulgarians have had to contend with
is the lack of shoes. A Swiss doctor
Just returned from Sofia says that fully
half the Bulgarian forces are without
shoes, which civilians also find with
difficulty at prices running from eight
dollars a pair upward.
Bulgaria, without shoe factories and
tanneries, is also short of hides. The
entire stock on hand has been distrib-
uted among the troops. The soldiers
are cutting them up themselves and
make crude kind of sandal such as
served as footwear for 100000 Bulgar-
ian, Serbian and Turkish soldiers
during the Balkan wars.
Tourist and military boots sell for
$2S to $50 pair when they are to be
had, The government has advertised
for leather, offering four dollars a.
pound, without avail

MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE

many drivers never even investigate
that part of the mechanism which
lies under the hood.
"T'll wager" said John \. WHY'S,

the Toledo factory several days ago,
that the majority OF people who own
and drive cars cannot give clear
explanation Of the meaning of trans
mission. differential or any one OF
the fifty other i-technical terms
/ might mention connected with the
mechanical construction Of an auto
mobile
While this Is true in the majority
of cases II does not follow that car
owners are unappreciative OF the
many improvements that have been
made.
"In the early days Of the industry
man had to be an expert mechanic
before he would venture far in his
oar. Today not only the head of the
family hut his wife and children are
as much at home at the wheel of a
motor car as in a Pullman.
THE first things which attract a
prospective car buyer are price and
general appearance These being
satisfactory he asks for 81 demonstra-
ton to find out If It Is smooth run
ming and comfortable TO ride in. Then
he takes the wheel and is surprised
TO learn how simple and easy ii is to
drive. Soon he has complete conf

firmed motorist
