MOTORIZED CIRCUS ID TOUR COUNTRY
 IN WILLYS- KNIGHTS
After Investigation Presi- dent of Corporation De- cides WilIys-Overland
 Best Car for Service

"The Flying Squadron of the United States Circus corporations 'Miller-dol- lar motorized circus will be mounted on Wilys Knight cars, made by the willys- Overland company of Toledo, o." said H. M Bailey, of the Overland Bir- mingham agency. This decision has been made by Frank P. Spellman, president of the big circus corporation, which will begin it's tour in May, opening in Ohio.
 "The first order placed by President Spellman with the Willys-Overland com pany represents 15 cars placed with the Toledo company after he had closely studied the records of express and taxi cab companies which are using the Will lys- Knights. The purchase includes five 12oO-pound delivery wagons, three big roadsters, and the remainder WilIys- Knight fours and eights
 President Spellman will use two of the cars-one a graceful touring Sedan, equipped especially for his exclusive use while on the road, and the other will be fitted with beautiful parade body and will head the motorized street parade each day.
 With three exceptions the remaining cars will be utilized entirely by the ad- vance advertising and press department. composing what President Spellnan has designated as the Flying Squadron. "
 Regarding the Willys-Overland product President Spellnlan says:
 We had many flattering offers from various companies to purchase their cars, but we finally picked the cars man. ufactured by the Willys-Overland com- pany as best for our purpose because of the unusual record this type of motor has established throughout the country.
 Before making our decision we talked to the heads of many big taxicab com panies throughout the United States All were unanimous in their praise of 365- days -the-year service which their Will lyc-Knights were rendering
 The motor that can stand the gaff un- der the strenuous demand made on it by taxi service is the type of motor that will serve us best in our travels across the country in all kinds of weather and over all sorts of roads, as we will have little time to waste to have carbon cleaned out of an engine or to have valves re- ground or other adjustments made. Be- cause of it's construction, need for this lis entirely eliminated from the WiIlys- Knight motor"

UNCLE SAMUEL |S TAXING NO CHANGES
 ALONG THE BORDER
Checks Up on Saxon Trail Blazers to Be Certain Not Representatives of the
 German Government

"Uncle Samuel-otherwise known as the federal government-is taking no changes these days. Hence his num- berless secret service operative on the Mexican border were considerably wrought up recently when they dis covered two gentlemen, driving along the border in Saxon roadster and signing Teutonic names in various border city hotel registers" said Paul Crawford, the local distributor.
 Having been 'jingoed' continually for months by reports of German armies in Mexico and border raid plots the federal agents were suspicious of A. w. Schlabach and F. W. Stieber, who are driving the Saxon roadster trail blazer for the national boundary highway. Although the little gray car was painted with signs showing it's ob- ject, the sleuths were not convinced. They did not believe in signs.
 Operative were set to follow the Saxon car. which travelled the border from the gulf westward toward the Pacific, and orders were also sent out from the federal secret service head quarters in the border region to check up on this car and see whether it was true that the Saxon company had a car in that region.
 Tt was Saturday afternoon when one of the secret service men in De troit called the factory on the phone Few of the officers were at the fac tory and the operative insisted that hs must speak to someone in authority 1,o I. treasurer of the company.
 Briefly but pointedly the secret service man asked if the car was on legitimate business and it's occupants

NO DECREASE IN DEMAND FOR CARS
 BECAUSE OF WAR
Prominent Automobile Man. ufacturer Says no Slump to Come in Need for
 Motor Cars

That the entry of the United States into the world war will not cause any decrease in the domestic demand for mo tor cars Is the opinion of Edgar Apperson. prominent automobile manufacturer of Kokomo, Ind. said J. A LAndner of the Lindner Motor Sales corporation. "In mentioning the present international sit- uation as 1t affects business, MT. Apper- son said:
 At the outbreak of the European hos tilities many manufacturers believed that the motor industry would experience a slump. If there were men who foresaw what was coming they certainly kept this knowledge well hidden. But at that, the war has not been entirely responsible for the big increase in the motor bust ness during the past two years. The ex- port of pleasure cars has been trivial and the companies that have shown the great est increase in production have not been supplying Europe with cars The em- and France was not placed to protect their motor industries, but rather to ob- tain better shipping facilities for war material
 Now, that we are with the allies fac ing a common foe, 1t Is only natural to assume that when 8 demand does come for pleasure cars in the European coun- tries, America will naturally be the first to be asked to fill it. Statistics show that the motor manufacturing companies this year will experience difficulty fin supplying the domestic demand. And is there any reason to assume that this will lessen even though we are at war with the imperial German government? On the contrary, believe 1t will increase.
 England learned in rather costly way that battles are not won alone by the men in the trenches. It takes a per footed organization at home to make the fighting arm at the front powerful. So in the organization which will undoubt- edly take place in this country should the war continue indefinitely. the auto mobile will be an indispensable factor. It is more than ever an economic neces- sity The motor industry, 1t seems to me is In position to be one of the most
 powerful cogs in making the machinery back home an efficient help to our forces, wherever they may be, on land or sea.T

Slaughter of Sparrows
 To Be Discontinued


 Birmfn gham sparrows have been given n new lease on life.
 The price of cents on their heads has been removed.
 The female birds can lay all the eggs they care to now, rear their young and continue to trespass where they will.
 The city commission decided yesterday that the destruction of SO,O0O birds and eggs combined had saved the early gardens and that the peas and beans were suffi- cientIy tough now to withstand the attacks of the little destroy CTS, and that after Saturday no more eggs and sparrows would be paid for at the city hall.
 Of course. the boys can get all the eggs and kill all the sparrows that they care to, but the city commission will not compensate them for torn shirts and skinned shins any further.

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LO'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauSeating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel. cathartics.
How you hated them how you fought
against taking them
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt Is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
IL your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup Of Figs" Its
action Is positive. but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take 1t; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach. and that teaspoonful
given today saves q sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50cent bottle
OF California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.
