 Loon lake is a pretty sheet of water with highway banks and very irregular shores. This lake Is about midway be- tween Lake Placid and Malone. From Lake Placid the best route would be via saranac lake and Bloomingdale through Merrlllville to the lake.
 Raquette river, one of the most inter- esting streams in the Adirondacks. Is both beautiful and wonderful in it's flow, with huge cedars lining it's banks on eitber side. At the end of the river is one of the most interesting lakes in the whole Adirondacks. namely, Tupper lake. It is seven miles in length and three miles wide with an elevation of l555 feet, and very attractive during the summer months
 Lake naparte-situated in the central western part of the Adirondacks-is ac- cessible to tourists over the improved highway from Syracuse via Watertown and thence to Carthage or from Utica through the Black river region into Low vile and Carthage. Other lakes easily ac- eessible from central New York are Big Moose lake, Brantingham lake, Star lake and Cranberry lake,

PASSENGER CAR UTILITY

"The passenger car has developed into a universal utility" says Law renee Pennington. president of the local dealers in Paige cars. "As such it's economic influence is now tremendous in a thoroughly practi- cal and constructive way.
 Some inlling of what the auto mobile now means to us and the practical part it is playing in our economic life is realized when it Is learned that greater passenger mile service is rendered by the pas senger motor cars in the United States than by the entire railroad or street railway systems of the country. The 3.700, 900 passenger cars averaging 5000 miles year and three persons each, give a total of 551s billion miles. At a rate of cents per mile this is worth s1.11o, 100000 a year.

ALIENS GOING STRONG

Allen cars are getting toe hold in Birmingham that Is making competi- tors in that priced car look to their laurels. The taxi companies are rec ognizing the value of these light cars for quick work, small cost of up-keep and neatness of appearance. Charles Denegre, local distributor, Is enthu- siastic over the success he Is making with this moderate priced car. "Of course, we are pushing the Franklin, but that is a higher priced car and we appeal to an entirely different trade when We talk Aliens. The com bination is hard to beat, and we are placing both of them where cars for service, appearance and minimum con- sumption of gasoline are wanted.

HARROUN RECORD

New economy standards for four cylinder cars have been established at the Indianapolis speedway by B. F, Durham. who. driving a Harroun automobile, covered. under skilled observation, 49.6 miles on one gall lon of gasoline.
 The test was unusual. in that it was made on a level course, with out grades down which the driver could coast, with his cars motor shut off. The circular shape of the course also precluded any advant- age from wind
 The run was uneventfu1 in the early stages, the motor humming steadily while Durham drove at speed which, in straight stretches came close to 30 miles an hour. When 25 miles were reached the crowd gave the car a cheer which was repeated at 30 miles as the driver and his mount flashed by.
 It was generally expected that the run would end somewhere be- tween 30 and 40 miles, but the lat ter stage was passed without sign of tagging.

 The increased size of the two offer ings over the offerings made in advance of the first Liberty bond issue is regarded as presaging a larger offering of the Liberty bonds in the second issue than the S2000i000,000 of the first issue. De- tails of the second issue have not been announced.

COLE EIGHT FRAME
 BUILT LIKE BRIDGE

No unit that enters into the construc- ton of 8 motor car reflects more strik- ingly the originality and ability of the designers than does the frame, in the opinion of J. J. Cole, widely known mo- tor car expert and head of the Cole Motor Car company, of Indianapolis.
 While discussing the situation the other day. he pointed out that engines may be interchangeable; axles similar; radiators identical; springs alike; starting, light ing and ignition systems of the same make, but frames. he declared, are the real hallmarks of motor car individuality He referred to them as being as dis tinctiye and personal as human skele- tons.
 Built like a bridge that expression better than any other, describes the con- struction of the Cole Eight frame con tinued Mr. Cole
 Supple, symmetrical and strong, it is a worthy foundation for a car possess ing the stamina and power of the Cole Eight
 Manufactured from hydraulic pressed steel of high carbon constituency, which is five thirty-seconds of an inch in thick ness. the Cole Eight has almost unlimited carrying capacity and at the same time it is gifted with a peculiar resiliency that enables 1t to take up road shocks of great magnitude without the least exer- ion.
 Its side members are full six inches deep, with integral f1anges top and bot tom wto and one-half inches wide, at- taining their maximum depth where the greatest load is carried The frame tapers toward the front to afford the shortest possible turning radius and widens at the rear to give the fullest and most rigid body support.
 
 The arrangement of the mighty rein forcing cross members reflects advanced ideas in bridge building. Placed at the most vital points, they serve not only to take up all transverse stresses and to overcome all distortions resulting when shocks are applied unevenly to the aXles, but they distribute all excessive

The selection of the all-weather tread of the big diamond-shaped blocks on Goodyear tires had behind it more than a desise for an attractive appearance and a distinctive design. Scientific reasons largely dictated the choice. Skidding usually occurs at an angle of 45 degrees to the direction of the car, so the slip-resisting block edges of the nonskid tread were placed at an angle of 45 degrees, which resulted in the diamond shape.
