to get these reasons first hand. They have been classified and stripped of their technical trimmings and put into the language of the truck driver so that everybody may understand Heretofore these facts have only been available to technically trained men.
 Those who have read this article in Motor Trucks of America have created such a demand for the facts told by the story that "Lengthening the Life of the Motor Truck" has been reproduced in pamphlet form and is being widely distributed by the Goodrich company among thous- ands of truck drivers and owners who have already inquired for it.
 After defining that much misun- derstOOd term factor of safety" the article discusses the effects of over loading on every part of the motor truck. It then gives a comprehen- siVe explanation of destructive work of ovelspeeding. Many people do not know, for instance, that an object having twice the speed of another of the same weight will perform four times as much work. Thus a bullet travelling 2000 feet per second will penetrate q target four times as deep as one going at the rate of 1000 feet per second This principle is ap- piled t0 the motor truck and it is shown further that a vehicle travel ing at three times it's normal speed will suffer shocks which are nine times more violent than normal
 The story now deals with the CT TOTS in driving which embraces the selection of gears, management of the clutch, fabrication, etc. It is un- known to many that piece of steel however smooth in appearance to the naked eye, will show under the mi croscope a rough surface. It is the function of the film of oil to fill these multitudes of indentations and actually prevent the surface of this part from coming into contact with the surface of its partner in work
 Since it is the driver who carries the destiny of the truck in his hands, it is necessary to approach and con- vince him that his job depends upon how strictly he adheres to the ao vice that is given him.
 One of the surprising features Tn connection with this most interesting pamphlet has been the increasing number of inquiries from large busi ness institutions operating salesmens cars as well as extensive fleets of trucks for the article applies as di- rectly to the pleasure car as it does to the truck. Many of these large operators are placing this story in the hands of their drivers and su- perintendents in a determined effort to-lengthen the life of their cars and trucks by eliminating the evils which have heretofore made operation and depreciation so costly. The saving which a close observance of these in structions will bring about is so vast it is impossible to even sug- gest an approximate estimate.

"On September 18th, at the close of business, the prices of all Studebaker models will increase in price. This gives intending buyers, and those who have just been putting it off" only six more days in which to place their order at the old prices.
 "The uncertainty of the market for steel, copper, brass, aluminium, and all other metals, for leather, rubber and cotton, by reason of the government S demands for these materials in the successful prosecution of the war not only means another rise in prices but may produce shortage of most and q scarcity of many raw materials for motor car construction. It is only natural, too, that the rise in prices will have tendency to still further de crease buying and thus add to the production cost of each car.
 Automobiles are not going to be cheaper at any time soon. l doubt very much if there will ever come 2 time again when cars can be bought at such low prices as right now You probably never will have another op- ortunity to purchase an automobile of such power, size and quality as either the Studebaker -Four" or 'SiX" for so little money.
 Those who buy their Studebaker car this week will get the advantage of present low prices. Late buyers take their own chances. They put off buy ing at their own risk.

Babbitt-Polson company, the local Maxwell dealers.
 Besides several important inn proVements. which greatly enhance the value of the Maxwell there are many lesser refinements which add to the cars mechanical perfection, although there has been no funda- mental change inn the one model chassis.
 In the Maxwell today the depth or the frame members has been in- creased from three to six inches. The former method of attaching the body to the frame by the use of brackets mas been discarded and the body now rests directly upon the frame itself, which greatly strengthens the car The elimination of the noisy splash guards, made possible by the change, is appreciated by motorists.
 The wheelbase has been increased by half a foot this season, its length now being 109 inches. The body is also roomier.
 Another improvement is the com- pensating underslung rear springs now used by the Maxwell. This type of spring is the same that has re- gently been adopted by many of the manufacturers of the highest priced cars.
 The longer wheelbase, with the un- derslung compensating rear springs, not only improves the riding quali- ties wonderfully but makes for even greater ''roadability''-a feature al ways noted in Maxwell cars.
 There has been installed an inn proved strainer and sediment bulb in the gas line.

M 'ARTHURS TO RECEIVE NE W

Formal announcement of the new Nash car will be made September fJ.
 While recent developments at ke- nosha have indicated that the new Nash ear was practically ready for the market, not until last weeks an- nouncement was any official assur- ance given by the Nash Motors com pany that a new Nash car was on it's way. No public announcement as yet has been made as to the type. price or specifications of this new ear, but it is a known fact that the new car is strictly a Nash product from the ground up and will be made 93

CT, making it impossible to mesh the pinion and fly wheel while the mo- tor is running. A heavier pinion is used in the rear axle. A larger gas tank has an improved gauge and filler pipe.
 A single point switch is made pos- sible by the use of a straight 12-vOlt battery, which assures a better bat tery service.
 The minor mechanical improve ments, however, are not the only new features in the one model Maxwell. The hDdy-hood and cowl lines are extremely graceful this year.
 The front and rear aprons, slant ing windshield, deeper and softer up- holstery, the improved quality of trimming material, wider running boards and lenders all combine to make one of the most attractive cars ever produced in it's price class. The slanting windshield eliminates the back glare of lights from the rear.
 The staggard seat roadster with it's roomy rear compartment, the four door sedan, the six passenger Berline, the luxurious coupe, and the roadster models are all in keeping. They will not suffer by comparison with anything within $300 of their prices
 Prospective car owners are showing considerable interest and enthusiasm over the car now being shown by abbitt-Polson company at their sales rooms.

 Some of the Studebaker models now on our floors are finished in a number of handsome and distinctive color combinations, and fitted with the novel and striking Gypsy top. Early buyers will have their choice of Studebaker car in either chrome green, battleship gray, purple lake or auto blue. with running gear in contrasting colors.

 It isf also a known fact that the type of motor that is being manu- factured for this new model repre- sents step forward in motor con- struction. Those who have been for tunate enough to secure inside in- formation state that the engine is re- markable for it's simplicity of con- struction; while it represents d stand ard type of motor now in general use rather than anything radical, yet it is enough different to set new design of construction.
 The production in the mammoth plant is being pushed in order to finish up quantity of these new cars so that they will be in the hands of the big motor car merchants dis tributing the Nash product by Sep tember 15
 The new car was unveiled before the organization of Nash distributors at the factory in July It was re- ceived with the immediate approval of this new distributing organization which was gathered around the Nash
 Motors company by General Sales
 Manager c. c. Voorhis, in record time. The fact alone that the new car even surpassed the expectations of what this distributing organization
 believed the Nash Motors company would be able to produce, practically assures the immediate acceptance by the public of the value represented in 1 this car.
 Although these distributors so far have not been able to have a new i car on hand to show to prospective l dealers, they nevertheless have gath

 MUCH SOUGHT
 AF TER I TODAY

The present day used car com- mands a much higher place in the automobile industry than does sec cordhand equipment of any other line, says General Manager Hotch- kiss of the overland Arizona Co.
 Persons who have been privilegend to associate with automobile dealers have doubtless observed that there is no such thing as a second-han automobile. There is the used car and the rebuilt car" both having honorable standing in the market. but no such thing as the secondhand article
 There is no doubt that certain words fall on the ears with harsh and unpleasant sounds. while cer- tain others are soothing and reas- suring. Men who understood this pc culiarity of the human ear got into the automobile business early, took the forlorn and battered car of yes ter year, gave it new coat of paint designated it as used ear" and made some purchaser happy. The new owner felt that he was not talk ing home a damaged. discarded ar ticle, but rather machine that was running a little smoother for having been used and that was essentially as good as new automobile.
 The name used car is an in spiration, and the car itself is a joy giVer. The used car enables the man in moderate circumstances to taste the pleasure of ownership. It enables him and his family to be participants in te hgreat world joy ride. instead of being observers of the procession from the sidelines. No one can tell to look at the car as it scoots along whether it has been un- der one ownership or more since it came from the factory. It passes for what it appears to be and for what it is, an automobile that is opOlOgiZing to nobody.
 The used car" has made the au- tomobile democratic institution Any family that denies itself in some other line may own a used automo- pile, even though the family may be far from being listed with the wealthy. In fact, it has been said that there are two classes of men who can afford to own a car, the rich man and the mechanic who can do his own repairing. The auto mobile of today is not the one sea son car that it was in the begin ming. It is a machine built for ser vice, and with proper care it will last for years, and as a car that has real value. Therefore many a family that cannot afford a new car cannot afford to be without sued one

WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

A man can't sell his house without
his wife's consent.
He must pay her bills, whatever
they may be, or for what.
If he deserts her she can haul him
back into Jail. =.
If she deserts him, he takes his
medicine, saith the law.
If he jilts his sweetheart, she can
get him for breach of promise.
If she deserts her lover, he gets
the horse laugh and the snicker.
If he whips her, he gets the post;
if she hits him with a skillet, the re-
porters write it humorously.
If he dies, she gets his estate; if
she dies, he gest the funeral bill and
her mother.
And still women keep kicking about
having some rights.

FEDERAL JUDGE UPHOLDS THE

Mt. Airy, Ga, August 2O.-Fcder-

Watson contended that the law is in

Jduge Speer, in denying the writ,
declared that to agree to the conten-

would be to conclude that the soldier

service beyond the borders of the
Unitedy States, Judge Speer said the
common law could not prevail against
the explicit provisions of an act of
Congress, which was empowered by
the Constitution to raise and support
armies. He declared that this power
was not restricted in any manner. and
that Congress may summon to it's
army every citizen of the United
States
Admitting that no express power
was given to send armies beyond the
sea, he said that there was no ex-
press power to enact the criminal
laws of the United States, building
of the Panama Canal or to purchase
Alaska.
"This has all been done,' he said,

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND THE
SOLDIER BOYS.

Every Sunday School and church in
this county, with few exceptions, has
or will have Il representative in the
army, either in training camps or
overseas. We should keep in touch
with these boys Here is suggcs-
ton: Let every Sunday School in
the county, which has one or more
members in the army, put their names
on a neat card and have it hung in
the Sunday school room, something
like this: "rhis Sunday School has
the following named members in the
army" and then follow with their
names. Then let the school appoint
a committee of about three ladies to
communicate regularly with these
boys, by sending them some little
reminder, such presents as candy,
chewing gum, perhaps cigarettes, if
they smoke, just any little thing to
remind the boys that they are re-
membered by their Sunday School
and church. OF course, every little
gift should in some suitable manner
bear the name of the school, The idea
is, first, to cheer and hearten the alb
sent boy, who is often lonesome in
camp and perhaps homesick, and al
so, to keep the boy in touch with his
school and church. The boys in the
army are tempted to drift, and this
anchor will help to hold them steady
1t should be the pleasure of every
school to do this much to cheer and
help the boys who are making the
supreme sacrifice for us at home
Carry out this suggestion or better
one next Sunday in your school. This
paper wants the name of every school
and the names of the boys and tho
committees appointed.

TIE KIND OF FLEAS.

The snake editor can hardly be re-
garded as reliable authority on such
matters us fieas, but there are sew
eral known to him, as follows:
There is Il rabbit flea, cat flea, a
fox flea, the dog flea, and also the
"wicked fee" which the Bible speaks
of. All but the last named have the
habit of making themselves elusive
only when they are pursued. The
last named flee when not pursued. 1t

"THE LADY WITH THE LAMP"
Florence Nightingale.

This is brief account of the be-
ginning of the Red Cross:
The Red Cross work was organized
by Florence Nightingale in or about
1854, during the Crmean war. The
suiferings of the wounded soldiers in
this war, and the suffering left in its
wake, reached the ears and touched
the heart of this great woman, at
her home in Derbyshirc, where she
was resting and recuperating from
| several years arduous work in IL SAN
itarium in Harley Street, London.
She wrote the Minister of War. Mr..
Herbert, Offering her services to go
to the seat of the war and do what
she could to relieve the suffcrings
and ravagcs of the Crimean war. Her
offer was gladly accepted and on Oc-
tober p, 1854, she sailed with 81
nurses and unlimited power to draw
on the government for everything
she needed in the organization and
prosecution of her great work, and
then and there her name was written
on the pages of history, never to be
effaced until wars and caamities shall
cease from the earth
She was born on May ~, 1920, at
Florence, Italy. Her fathers name
was William Edward Nightingale.
She WAS highly educated and of fine
social position, but nursing was the
vocation of her choice from early
girlhood "When the time came for
her to make her debut into London
society" says a writer, the study of
nursing had already absorbed her
to such an extent that she failed to
make her appearance" She was
called "Thc Lady With the Lamp"
from her custom of moving around
at all hours of the night among the
wounded and sick, carrying small
lamp in her hand us she made her
solitary rounds
She died in London II years ago at
the great old age of 90 years.
The American Red Cross, under the
guidance of Clara Barton was organ
lied as one of the results of her life's
work
Longfellow's poem, "The Lady with
The Lamp" immortalized her, the
closing verse of which reads:
ga lady with lamp shall stand,
In the great history of the land
A noble type of good, heroic wo-
manhood"

GERMAN SPIES IN CAMP.

From authentic sources it is evil
dent that German spies are working
not only in the large cities, but in the
training camps of the country. AL
ready several such busy gentlemen
have been detected and promptly dis
posed off," stood against the WALL"
in the training camp of at least one
camp in the South. Desperate rem
edies, yes, but desperate cases. The
number of these obstructi9nists in
creases as the days go by. The Hon.
Elihu Root says that whole lot of
these agitators, /. w. w. Senators,
"and editors right here in New York
ought to be taken out and shot"
Strong language coming from such

The adoption of more drastic meas
pres would stop a lot of agitation
going on all over the country. The
foolish Suffs, who are nagging and
worrying Mr.. Wilson should be at
once jailed and kept there. What
would become of such agitators as
are tolerated here if they were in
Germany? You don't here such THINGS
there. They arc all promptly put out
OF the way if they pop up their heads,
and so it should be. and no doubt
will be in the United States if it
keeps on.

pairing for dash out of the North
Sea, so say the dispatches. This sea
fight, if it takes place, will end the
war, should the German fleet be
smashed, or any considerable part
of it. Should the English fleet be
sunk, or any considerable part of it,
Germany would then have the free
dom of the open seas and the navy of
the United States to reckon with. 1t
appears, also from dispatches, that
several United States batlcships will
be sent to Europe, anticipating the
expected sea- fight, Should this be
true, it does not seem possible for
the German fleet TO escape destrue-
ton. The English fleet alone out
numbers the German more than two

destruction and ruin of the German
fleet would seem to be impossible. So
