SPECIAL INVALID
 GAR CONSTRUCTED
 BY OVERLAND CO.

To fill a demand for such a convey ance Willys Overland, inc.,, has just placed on the market a special Red Cross ambulance, completely equipped, for $1250 f. O. b. Toledo.
 This car, before being. announced to the public, was carefully investigated by the medical and Red Cross authori- ties and met with their hearty en- dorscment. It is recommended for the serious consideration of fraternal and Red Cross organizations desirous of presenting local ambulance and hospi- tai corps with such a vehicle
 The ambulance body is of the regula- tion French army and Red Cross type.
 The body has frame of selected ash. The sides arc weather proof and very light. Brass and nickel screws are used instead of nails. The top is of ten ounce regulation duck over pop. lar slats. On one side of tho car on the running beard is d sixteen gallon Wa

SALES MANAGER
 IF DORT SHOWS
 MOTOR ECONOMY

You do not have to enter the realm of speculation to determine how the city owner can make his car pay for itself," says John D. Mansfield, gen. eral sales manager of the Dort Motor company You do not have to argue the gain in time, health or efficiency to prove your case,'' is the substance of a letter received from the factory by George Reuben, local agent of the Dort Motor company.
 "A man travelling two miles daily from his home to his place of business on a trolley car and spending forty cents for his luncheon down town, can save at least thirty cents a day by owning a Dort.
 Thirty cents does not seem like a lot of money, but in the course of a working year of 312 days, it amounts to $93.6O, sum sufficient to pay for a loe of good gasoline and tire deprecia-

tion. Therefore, merely considering the elimination of car fare and the diff ference of cost in lunching at home, small, light, inexpensive car financially justifies itself, all other considerations aside
 Tt follows that the man who feels he is living fairly within his means, may live better and happier on the same expenditure providing he drives car. hTat saving of thirty cents day will pay for many a delightful evenings recreation for himself and family.

days lot of money may be saved by watching the advertisements in the newspapers and shopping for food and clothing where those necessaries can be bought to the best advantage. It is difficult to do this methodically with out car.
 Deprivation is not synonym for economy. It is not economy to go without those things that make for true happiness and contentment. Health. good clothes, ample food, these are all essential, and the motor car helps ma terially to obtain them for the least possible outlay.

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out hi tlal Misunderstanding Con- tinues All Day Friday and
 Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order as Drawn, From Which Those Who Will Be Called to Serve in First Army Will Be
 Selected

Washington, July 21.-The drawing Tor the big United States army was not completed until early Saturday morning. The drawing began at 9 :45 Friday morning, and continued throughout the day and night. Alto- gether 10,500 numbers were drawn rom the big fish bowl. It was officially stated that the first 1000 numbers drawn represented more than 1,000,- ooo men, and it is not considered probable that men representing any number drawn after the first 2,O0O will be called before any exemption board for the first army. The first eight numbers were drawn respective " by Secretary of War Baker, Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committee, Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sen- ate and house military committees; Maj Gen. TaslIer H. Bliss, acting chief of staff of the army; Maj Gen. Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of the army; and Major General Mccain, adjutant general of the army. After the first eight numbers had been drawn the regular tellers took hold, and worked through until the long task was completed.
 in only small number of the larg. est districts will the numbers above few thousand affect registrants. Of the 4,551 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10,200 numbers, while the smallest has only about 185, and the average is about 5000. As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to affect the smallest district came out. It was 126, placing 4,557 men number ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in order of liability.
 The following list shows the num- bers in the order in which they were drawn. The first number in each case represents the order in which the sec onQ, or red-ink registry, number was taken from the bowl. Four numbers are given in each line. Beginning with the first number, which was drawn by Secretary Baker.

switch or commutator Is the cause OF
magnetic wire off the binding post on
the engine stopping, is TO take the
the coil box and 20 substitute there
for a wire from n battery of dry cells
(the house electric bell battery can
be borrowed) the other battery wire
being connected to the ground. If
the engine starts, the magnetic, mag
neto contact, or magnetic binding post,
is at fault. If the engine does not
start, take a wire off the commutator
and touch II to the ground. If a
coil buZzes and there is a spark, the
commutator is TO blame; while. II the
coil fails to buzz, then either the
vibrators are not properly set or the
switch is at fault.
A fault of the vbrators, commu-
tator, wire connected TO the commu-
tator, spark plug, or spark plug wire,
will cause miss in the engine.
The first thing to do when the
engine misses is to find which cylin-
der misses To do this hold down
the vibrator points one after the
other The one which causes no
change in the running of the engine
is connected TO the missing cylinder.
Having determined which cylinder
is missing, change around the coil
with another coil. If the miss fol-
lows the coil, then the coil probably
its vibrator points, is at fault. If,
however. the miss continues in the
same cylinder, then the coils are all
right, and can be forgotten, the fault
being due to the spark plug. or its
wire or TO the wire going 10 the COM
mutator, or to the commutator.
The above assumes, of course. that
the other two essentials namely,
compression and mixture, which are
necessary for the proper running of
the engine, are all right
To tell IL the spark has failed,
take out plug, lay it on the engine
with the wire attached, and crank
the engine. Tf the ignition is all
right, there will be a spark at the
plug, and either compression or mix
ture is at fault, while if there is no
spark, the ignition is at fault, and the
other two essentials can be assumed
as being all right
