Saxon Boundary Car Finds
Patriotism Everywhere

Patriotism is in the air of the
southland and everywhere that the
Saxon roadster has. journeyed on its
trip around the boundaries of the
country, the observers have found
city, village and countryside rallying
to the flag to support the nation in
it's hostilities with Germany.
While the Saxon roadster's mis-
sion in blazing a trail along the rim
of the United States was a peaceful
one and designed to give the adven-
turous motorists a new roadway, the
trail also has special military signi-
ficances. This, together with the
general awakening of the country to
defense is creating unusual interest
in the journey of the roadster which
Diary from Washington to a point on
the Texas State line somewhat be-
yond Galveston.
Everywhere the car has been re-
ceived with greatest hospitality and
special pains have been taken by
many communities. to furnish the
trail blazers with accurate road data
and to tighten if possible the task
of marking out a new route of this
kind. This data, some of which un-
doubtedly will be of value to the
government, in event of any consid-
cradle troop movements along the
Atlantic seaboard, south of Chesa-
peake Bay, will be turned over to
the officials and the car is endeavor-
ing to cooperate in every way it
can with the Federal authorities.
Thanks to the work of the army
on the border and to the Texas of
ficials, the border paths are fairly
we'll charted and in many places
military roads have been construct
ed. These, when hostilities have
ceased will form ideal motoring
paths, although the observers say
that the present situation precludes
any pleasure in trip along the
frontier.
From Texas the car will follow
westward to the Pacific coast and it
will then travel the Pacific highway
up the western boundary to the
Canadian line.

PREDICTS GREAT
WAR PROSPERITY
President of Great Overland
Factory Foresees Continu-
ance of Good Business
BY JOHN N. WILLYs.

Mr.. Willys is president of the
WHY'S Overland Company. of Tole-
do, Ohio. second largest automobile
factory in the world. which is expect
ed to produce nearly 100000 motor
cars This year. He rs also ranked as
one of the industrial giants of the
decade, whose business sagacity de-
veloped factory with assets of $685.

assets of $6S,O00,000. Mr.. WHY'S
can we'll be styled an authority on
business conditions,-Editor's Motel
Automobile manufacturers
throughout the country are being
deluged by letters, telegrams and
verbally with queries as to what ef-
feet Americas declaration of a state
of war existing with Germany will
have on business generally, and par
ticularly on the automobile indus
try.
1t seems to be that the unprece-
dented era of prosperity of the past
two years must be continued
In addition to the enormous busi-
ness now being handled by this coun-
try, the United States Government
has just passed war budget of seven
billion dollars. Three billion dollars
of this fund will be advanced as a
loan to the allies-who will spend it
in the United States.
The remaining four billion dollars
will be used to put our own army
and navy on a sound war footing.
Every cent of this money will be
spent in this country. Every pro-
duct that is raised or made in this
country will be purchased in larger
quantities than ever. Every sec
ton of the country will benefit
every class of people.
Some of the money will go sNuth
to buy cotton. "A big share will go
to the western States and to the
coast for grain, meat and other food
stuffs. Some of it will go to Penn
sylvania for steel and coal. New
England will get share in exchange
for shoes. The factories of the Cen
trail States will get a share. There
will be more money in circulation
than ever before.

Twelve months. The demand in the
dominion. for WHY'S Overland cars
is lar in excess of the supply.
Prior to the war in Canada money
was very tight The per capital
wealth across the border was only
sos. At the present time Canada is
in better shape financially than ever
before; its per capital wealth is now
said to be see.
The United States to-day has more
money than ever in its history. A
recent statement published by United
States Comptroller Williams showed
that United States banks had assets
of sixteen billion dollars. exceeding
by two hundred and ten million dol
lars the previous high water mark
OF five months ago, and an increase
OF five billion dollars in four years.
The total national wealth, according
to authoritative estimates, is given
out as s250.000, 900, 900. with a ma
tional debt of only $4,000, 900 900.
The estimated combined wealth of
Great Britain France, Russia. Italy
and Germany is $275, 900, ,0O0, 900,
while their total national debt is $780,

There seems to be no cause for
pessimism. We can safety look for
ward to continuance of good busi-
ness right here in our own country.

DRNEAWAYS ARE
PRACTICABLE
Driving Cars From Factory
Because of Car Shortage
Has It's Advantages

The 4,103 driveway shipments of
motor cars made from the factory
of The WHY'S Overland Company, at
Toledo, in the early months of this
year furnished convincing evidence
of advantages of that method of
automobile delivery from factory to
dealer, according to Carl Hanson of
the Overland-Harrisbu Company.
In January, 903 WHY'S Overland
cars were driven overland to the
dealers; in February, LOSS were
transported in this way and the
driveway shipments increased to o.
142 in March.
With reasonably good roads on
which to deliver the new cars. it is
said that the driveway method is a
most desirable substitute for freight
delivery and that it will be common
practice in the future, irrespective
of freight conditions.
"Up to a few weeks ago, the drive
away method of delivering automo-
biles was regarded as simply the
only alternative in getting the cars
to the dealers when freight cars
were not available" said Mr.. Han
son. To-day, the leading manufac-
turers have awakened to the fact
that there is often a distinct advan-
tage in the overland system of de-
livery and many of them will con-
tinue to adhere to it long after the
freight car shortage is relieved.
"In the first place, the overland
delivery of a new car furnishes an
ideal warming-up process for the
new motor. Actual service on coun-
trv roads, in the hands of expert
enced drivers, is the best sort OF
treatment for the motor fresh from
the factory. All of the working parts
thereby are fitted for the task which
they are to perform and when the
car is delivered to the buyer they
work more smoothly IL possible than
on the day they left the factory.
"In the second place, overland de-
livery is much quicker than shipping
by freight. When the car leaves the
factory you know approximately just
when it will reach its destination.
There will be no annoying delay in
conCested freight yards and, turth-
ermore, there is no danger of rough
handling of the car in loading ana
unloading.
Poor roads alone stand in the
way of overland delivery of automo-
biles With good roads campaigns as
suming greater proporuons each
wear. il is reasonable to hope that
the time soon will come when the
road situation no longer will be an
obstacle in the direction. Besides
the state and county good roads sup
mort. there is the ever-increasing aid
given the movement by the Federal
government.
In 1916, there were built under
the supervision of Federal authori-
ties approximately SCI miles of road
Is feet in width, according to the an
nual report of the office of public
roads in the Department of Agricul-
ture. The roads included in the total
are experimental roads, county roads
and roads in national parks and
forests.
This is more than double the
work. of any previous year and still
greater progress is expected in 1917.
with good roads on every hand,
the driveway will no longer be an
unusual feature of motorcar deliv-
cry. 1t probably will be the ordinary
thing"

The Hudson story will reach them

opportune, and from now on Hudson

jumped by thousands. And readers
no longer turn first to the comics

MEN AREPAID TO
WEAR OUT TIRES
Large Tires Manufacturer
Adopts Unique Plan to Test
Motorcar Tires

Here is new job, that will at once
arouse the envy of the average motor
list, although it has been created for
his ultimate benefit. Imagine your
self a tire-rester, being paid to do
nothing but drive big fine car. tour
the country and wear out tires. 1t
doesn't sound quite reasonable until
you consider that a tire manufactures
has no ether real means of learning
what his tires will stand, for he can
not acquire this knowledge in the lab
oratory. Nor. will the rigid eXamina-
tion of each process of manufacture
insure the long mileage that the tire
buyer expects. To the tire-user, the
actual fundamentals of a good tire
are strength and wearing qualities
and the only logical method of deter
mining these is through actual ex-
perience in the service that motor
car drivers give their tires in bound
ing over roads. good and bad, in all
parts OF the country.
While this method of testing tires
is not by any means new to the B.
F. Goodrich Rubber Company, its inn
portance is reflected in the recent ad-
dition of FIVE more units to the COM
pany's original re-testing fleet of
cars. which. for the past several
months. has been making its head
quarters at Chattanooga. Tenn.
The original fleet of fourteen cars
had made Akron its headquarters un-
til early in February when the Of
ficials decided to move it south. 1t
was only recently that orders were
received by this fleet to dispatch one
of its cars Immediately to each of the
five new territories to form nucleus
for the additional fleets which were
~ nf
had already been purchased to bring
each unit up to its required quota of
five cars.
The Pacific fleet will cover all roads
on the Pacific coast and learn what
the motorists there have to contend
with in tire wear. The Mountain fleet
will climb the rocky trails of Yellow
stone and Glacier parks. The Prairie
feet, with its headquarters in Kansas
City, will scour the roads of Missouri
and Kansas. The Lake fleet will fight
the sand stretches of Minnesota and
wisconsin. The original fleet, now
designated as the Dixie fleet, will con-
tinue to cover the South with Chat
tanooga as it's base, and the Atlantic
fleet will cruise among the hills and
valleys of New York and New Eng
land. This is the manner in which
the wearing qualities of the tires will
be measured over every type OF road
in the United States.
With each of the cars in all six
fleets are two drivers, each spending
eight hours a day on the road. The
remaining eight hours are utilized by
mechanics in noting the effects on
the cars as well as the tires and
looking after their upkeep. Each
driver Keeps a detailed report of
where he has been and what has hap
pened.
1t must not be assumed that these
drivers maintain excessive speed for
they are obliged by their employers
to not only observe the motor regula-
tions of their respective territories.
but to remember all the courtesies of
the road in meeting or passing other
motorists. safety first" must be
their watchword.

lean auto industry is shown by sta
tistical table recently published in
dicating that the exports during the
past six years have increased from
$12,965, ,049 in 1911 to 120,O00,866 in
1916. A striking feature Of the in
dustry in the first year of the war
was the tremendous growth of truck
exports and the relegation of passen-
ger cars to second place in the value
of the machines exported. In that
year (1915) the shipments of passen-
ger cars were more than four million
dollars less than in the preceding
twelvemonth, while truck exports
jumped from $1,181,611 to $3.50, ,140,-
682 But it is interesting to note
that during last July and October
for the first time since October, 1914,
the export of passenger cars exceed
ed in value the export of commercial
vehicles.
This increase in the export of pas
senger cars, however, is evidently
due, considering the embargoes which
the belligerent countries have in
force against imports of pleasure We
hicles, to the growing popularity of
American motor cars in neutral coun-
tries outside of Europe. All the
South and Central American coun-
tries are now importing American
made automobiles. Even little Hon
duras, one of the poorest countries in
the group, with a population of only
half a million, took considerable
number. Moreover, there is every
prospect that the demand for our ma
chimes in South America, Africa and
the Far East will continue to in
crease for at least number of years.

TEACHERS TO GET PRACTICE.
State Normal Arranges To Use Inde
pendence Schools Next Year.

A contract has been made by the
Oregon Normal school with the direc-
tors of District No. 90, including the
city of independence, to use the In
dependence elementary school as a
training school. This school has an
enrolment of $50 pupils and by rea-
son of the number and location is
well adapted to this purpose. This
will afford students an opportunity to
do practical work and thus enlarge
the scope of the normal. The action
on the part of the Independence
school board, in making the contract
with the normal, was unanimous.
Arrangements have also been made
to use the rural school known as
Mountain View for training school
purposes. There are 80 pupils en-
rolled in this school and those who
are preparing for rural work will
get their instruction there. This al
lows the rural section to work out its
problems in rural school.
President Ackerman is planning to
use these schools in the opening of
the fall semester.

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Dallas Household.

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed-to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous urin-
ary disorders, is enough to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol-
lowing advice of one who has suffer.

Dallas readers.
Jack Mott, S1S Hayter street, Dal-
las, says: "I took Doan's Kidney
Pills several years ago, when having
backache and kidney disorder, which
