Two types Of couplings are used,
which can oe purchased in almost any

union has three parts: the screw or
male member, the nut and a small
Uonical burr or ferrul. To install a

IF 1t were not for the fact that
selling cars requires all our time and

of those things needed for n days

or along the roadside. Owners of the
National touring sedan are particular
inquirers for the compact camping
kits now made for n days sport. The
touring sedan is so truly "a touring car

the owners have no fear of sudden
changes in temperature or transforms

these must be more volatile than the

should not boil at over ESQ degrees
With ordinary gasoline the aviation

Alfred Harris, In speaking from the
aviator's point of view of his machine,
stated that no one appreciates the
value so much as the one who flies
He spoke of the desirability of having
an ample reserve power factor for ma

the machine having the greatest pow
er is the safest due to the increase in
the safety factor with increased speed.
The slower machine, he said is partic-
ularly dangerous on curves due to side
slipping on banking.

HISTORY OF ELECTRIC CARS
Is QUITE INTERESTING
First Runabout Appeared on Boston
Streets During the Sum
NOR of 1883

A comparison OF the electric auto
mobile OF today with the electric" as
it first appeared on city streets some
thirty years ago is exceedingly inter
osting.
Altho the electric motor as motive
source OF transportation was first
used in 1885 the first electric vehicle,
n e-passenger runabout appeared
ON the streets of Boston during the
summer OF 1883. In 1851 an electric
Inotor- driven car was designed TO run
16 miles per hour and within the 80
years following many more or less
successful models were introduced,
some OF which were decidedly ingen
ious in design and construction.
In 1895 New England was treated
to it's first motor race. Two electric
motor cars won first and second
places In a lively contest In 1898
the manufacture of electric vehicles
had assumed the iWportance of an
industry, and a large number were
exhibited at the electrical show held
in Madison Square Garden, New York
city. These cars appear in quaint
contrast to the "electrics" exhibited at
the recent automobile shows.
Altho the earlier types OF "elec-
tries" were fair weather vehicles, as
they did not afford any protection

the gasoline car builders. The simple

facilitated its perfection from an engi-
Eeerins standpoint, and the manufac-
turers gave early attention TO the lux

Some Things You Should Kn<

That there are no better trucks than GMC-and
that they are sold at prices lower than other
high-grade trucks?
That by buying GMC Trucks you save money

They have built thousands of GMC Trucks
ranging in size from "a ton to tons capacity
They are now in service in practically every line
of business and in most every part of the world
everywhere they have given satisfactory service
The vast volume of repeat orders received stands
as their strongest endorsement.
The reason for this universal satisfaction
among GMC users is found in the fact that every
GMC Truck is right in design and right in con-
struction-that it is built of highest grade tested
materials-that it is built by skilled truck build
ers in the way that enables it to withstand the
hardest service to keep in the running long after
trucks of inferior construction have gone to the
discard.

DESTROYED STOCKS OF FLOUR

These times of corners on eggs and

had refused to sell to the people at the

Then when the militia arrived the
crowd visited Herrick & Co.'S ware

Where Leather Goes.

Shoes and boots play large part in
a soldiers efficiency, and they are sup
piled in corresponding quantities to
armies Toward the end of October,
100000 pair had to be furnished to
the Russian armies. Before the end
of November an equal number went to
Italian troops. By the end of Deem
Der two and half million pairs were
delivered to British soldiers. In three
months TIE British government will
probably require 5000 tons of shoul-
ders and Ugh bends Of leather. and
pretty nearly 25.0O0.OOO feet Of upper
leather. including well along toward
100000 of kip and pure chrome.
When one comes to reflect that
the belIigerents on the other side
probably use up nearly as much shoe
leather as their opponents, he is moved
to wonder that the rest Of the world
