GOOD WORDS FOR
THE OAKLAND SIX
Commercial Agent for Two Railroads
Writes Intereyting Letter.

Atlanta, Ga, April 13, 1917.
Oakland Motor Company,
Pontiac, Mich.
Gentlemen:
wish to thank you for sending me
the pamphlet with your letter of April
End, which / have read with interest,
and wish to take this opportunity to
state that the car has passed all rec
ommendation given same by your
Sales Department here in the dem
onstration of same.
have had experiences with other
cars, and unhesitatingly say that none
that l have seen can compare with
the Oakland Six in any way. The cost
of operation of the Oakland is lower
/ believe than any car on the market.
With my car, new, am averaging
225 miles per gallon of gasoline; the
engine in the car is the smartest and
most flexible have ever seen, which
makes the driving of the car pleas
ure, it being able to pull hills on high
which the majority of cars are forced
to go into second, this without any
strain on the engine.
Another great advantage in owning
this car is the fact that you have in
charge of same in this territory, both
Sales and Service Departments, gen.
tlemen of the highest possible stand
ing, at all times showing every incli-
nation to do everything possible for
the patrons of the car; however, the
users of the Oakland Six that l have
come into contact with have but very
little occasion to call on your Service
Department.
You may rest assured that you
have in me a strong booster for the
car, and hope to see more cars in use
amongst my friends.
/, really feel that your salesman
Mr.. Bird, who influenced me to buy
the car did me great favor in doinl
so.
Wishing your company continued
success in this territory, l am,
Yours truly,
J. F. HARDIN,
Commercial Agent A. & V. Ry Co.

ANOTHER HIGHWAY

The Albert Pike highway, named
for Albert Pike, the discoverer of the
famous peak in Colorado named after
him, is almost completed from Dodge
City to Alva, Okla. The road extends
from Memphis, Tenn, to Little Rock,
Ark, thence to Tulsa, Okla, to Alva
to Dodge City and to Colorado
Springs.
There are two routes competing for
the road between Alva and Dodge,
one by way of Protection and Buck

route will be decided upon by. the road
committee within a few days.

TOURISTS MUST WATCH BATS"
An Overheated Battery May Cause
Much Grief.

In recent bit of information
handed out by the Willard Storage
Battery Company to car owners,
special attention was called to over
heated batteries.
An over-heated battery is one of
the worst things that can happen to
car owner because it may incapac-
itate his entire electrical system. 1t
is well, therefore, for tourists to OBJ
serve closely the condition of their
storage battery before starting on a
tour, as we'll as to test it occasionally
enroute.
Over-heating may be caused by sew
eral things. Two of the most COM
mon causes are lack of water or over
charging from the generator.
A battery kept full of pure dis
titled water is not nearly so apt to
become over-heated as one in which
the solution has been allowed to
reach level lower than the top of
the plates. When these plates are
exposed to the air, the oxidation
which goes on bulges and warps
them, causing short-circuits and con-
siderable damage to the entire bat
terry. This often results in the en-
tire starting, lighting and ignition
system being put out of condition.
Before starting on trip, the gen.
orator should be adjusted to supply
the battery with the proper amount
Of current at high speed, inasmuch as
the driving is generally faster when
touring. If the generator is not fur
nishing current properly, it should
not be expefimented with, but ex-
amined by someone who is compe-
tent to make the proper adjustment

United States governme nt It is for the
interest of all young men to step up to
the boards with clean slates and tell
the truth.
If men are eligible for exemption
they will have little if any difficulty
in proving their exact status. If men
are to be discharged because of the
importance of their positions in the
commercial world. or because Of their
present work for the national govern
ment, their employees will attend to
that end of the case. 1t will not be q
difficult thing to decide upon the
merits of the various individual who
present themselves for the selective
draft. Those found guilty of false
hood will rue the day they did not go
before the examination boards with a
clean breast.
These things must be considered by
all those concerned with the draft
eligibles, parents, kinsfolk, and friends
of the men called. The opportunity to
serve the nation in its supreme test
before the world is at hand. No mat
ter how great the advantages of stay
ing behind. the JOY Of going to the
front and serving in the ranks Of those
fighting to make the world free for
democracy overshadows all temporal
joy. The young men who are called
to the colors are the privileged men of
the nation. Those who go manfully
will be recompensed a thousand-fold
Those who show the white feather
will forever be branded as traitors to
their country. The choice lies clear
ly before each candidate. 1t is up to
him to choose the right way.

DO 1T TO-DAY.

Many instances of New Britain men
navy in other towns and being cred
tied to those places have come up
since the Herald started its campaign
to secure a complete list of all local
boys who joined the colors. Some of
our boys, having been rejected by
Uncle Sans stringent physical exam
ination, were so anxious to fight for
the cause of democracy that they
went up to Canada and joined the
forces there. Some even went across
the sea to England and France and
entered the armies of those two coun-
tries The blanks tell many stories
of this kind.
One of the many cases of New
Britain losing credit for an enlist
ment came to light this week when
a soldier boy returned home on fur
Tough. At the time of his enlistment
he was in Allentown, Pa. He was
credited in the quota there, and aft
erwards sent with an ambulance
corps to train near Boston. Had he
not visited New Britain before sail
ing for France no record would have
been kept of his enlistment. for he
is without parents or kiusfolk here.
He personally brought in blank to
this Office.
There are many other cases of this
kind, and. for the sake of the town
and it's patriotic citizens, they should
be ferreted out. The blanks in the
Herald are a means to this end.
Even at the risk of duplication all
those who are Interested in keeping
a complete record of the fighting
men from New Britain should fill out
blanks and mail them to this office.
IT is better to have too many records
than not enough. The extra time
spent in sorting out the blanks will
be a pleasure If it is known that this
service can be turned over to the city
as permanent war record for 1917.
Our boys have gone to the colors in
goodly number. The least we can do
is to keep record Of their names
and enlistments. BY filling out a
blank each person in the city can do
his or her bit" in compilation of a
complete record. Do it today.

There is a certain class of people in

and will. not, no matter how easy the
work, and New Britain certainly has
her share of them. Men being unatain-
able, the n. Y, N. II. & H. r. r. Co.
have been compelled to advertise for
women to do mems work on the
CROSSINGS and other inside work, in the
freight house. this being the only
course they could pursue, to keep their
business moving. we would say to the
; fair sex that to engage in a vocation
of this kind is no disgrace to them
whatever, but more of an honor, and
one that should bring shame to the
other sex, should they have any shame
in them.
I will also add that we are In pos
