That the low-priced. high grade car

That phrase, as true today as when

senger roadster is a good example OF

For Hilly Country.
The nature of the country to be driven
in should govern the car to a great
extent. A car for hilly country should
have plenty OF reserve power. the buyer
should compare the piston dlsplace-
ments OF the cars in the price zone In
which he desires to remain. and II the
car Is for hilly country. high horse
power, big valves and high gear ratio
should be selected.
ON the other hand, II the car is to be
driven largely in the city. the motor
should be smaller so as to cut down
weight. The speed Of. the motor should
still remain high, though, to provide the
good acceleration necessary I'm city work
and also to permit the car to be opera
ted at very low speeds on high gear. In
this way quick start can be made
without shifting gears.

Motors Are Now Called
Greatest Aid to Doctor

Medical journals throughout the coun-
try. which only a few years ago would
not have dared discuss the relationship
of the automobile to the medical fra
ternity, are now solidly united In COM
msndation of the motor car as the great

Records just compiled by statisticians
connected with the motor car industry
show that doctors who but few years
ago championed the electric vehicle AZ
their best means of conveyance are now
users OF the gasolene-type OF car.
In fact today many physicians utilize
their spare time in studying motor car
construction and are conversant with
mechanics in terms unfamiliar to the

appear before Judge Flynn in the

the drainage district to modify the

that all costs and expenses incurred
thus far may be assessed against the

Miss La Lone Hacks Off
Hair While Asleep
Peculiar Act Of Local Girl While In Som
nambulistic State Wednesday Night

An act little out of the ordinary
in somnambulism was performed last
Wednesday evening by Miss Rose La
Lone, a well known girl of this city
who makes her home with Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Burns, when she hacked off
with a pair of dull shears the great
err portion of her hair.
The girl has no remembrance of
having even awakened during the
night. When she woke up in the
morning she discovered that her hair
was clipped off. 1t lay strewn over
her bed and all over the floor. At
first she could not realize what had
happened and her cries aroused Mr..
and Mrs. Burns whom she accused of
cutting her hair. When she recov-
cred from the first shock of her dis
covery she realized that there was
only one solution of the mystery-she
had cut her own hair off while in a
