College Men Want to
Drive Trucks in Circus

To become a member of a circus
troupe has always been one of boy
hoods greatest ambitions. Many per-
sons outgrow this attraction for cir
Gus life but with some the lure always
remains. No better evidence of this
universal appeal of the outdoor show
could be found than in the list of ap-
plicants for the position of truck driv-
ers with the new motorized circus,
which opens in May,
There are more than 1000 of them
on file in the Office of the United
States Circus Corporation and most
of them are from college men. Grad
uates and undergraduates from the
leading universities of the country
Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Column
bia, Princeton, Dartsmouth, Cornell
want jobs in the circus parade as
pilots of the 100 Firestone-eq equipped
Kelly-Springfield trucks and Troy
trailers.
There hasn't been much to offer the
young college man in circus work

Break in Automobile
Motor Gradually

ITO insure that the working parts
of the motor adjust themselves prop
erly this car should not be driven
in excess of twenty-five miles per
hour during the first five hundred
miles,
This notice appears on the wind
shield of every car shipped by the
WHY'S Overland Company of Toledo,
Ohio, and according to distributors
and dealers, is doing a great deal of
good.
All engineers and most good me-
chanics know that nothing is so in
furious to new mechanism as high
speed, yet probably a vast majority
of new cars are driven at high speed
inside of twenty-four hours from the
time they are delivered to the retail
purchaser.
1t is this tendency on the part of
inexperienced drivers which the
WHY'S s-Overland Company is trying
to combat.
In no other line of manufacturing,
possibly, is the product so quickly
turned over to the mercies of a man
who knows little of its mechanical
construction and still -ess of the way
to take care of 1t.
"A high speed passenger locomo-
tive offers an excellent comparison"
said the local WHY'S Overland dealer.
in discussing this topic.
"The locomotive is built to- run
easily and pull a tremendous load at
seventy miles an hour. But is that
locomotive put at once into such serv-
ice? Hardly. The superintendent or
master mechanic who would permit
such a thing is not fit to hold his
position.
"The locomotive is run dead in a
freight train to its point of delivery.
Then 1t is easily and carefully broken
in by being given slow freight serv-
ice before it is turned over to the
passenger crews.
'It is a good deal the same in the
case of a steamship. She is built un-
der contract guaranteeing so many
miles per hour, but no shipbuilding
concern would think of submitting a
new boat to a trial run until after
her engines had ample time to wear
in
"It should be the same with motor
cars The better a car is built, the
more care should be exercised when
the motor is new
Careful handling of a car when
new means better and smoother en-
gine and fewer repair bills"

Soldiers Made Hurried
Trip to Repel Invasion

Eighty-five men of the Tenth COM
pany, coast artillery corps. under
Lieutenant Frederick Price. early the
morning of March Is, made a record
run from San Francisco to Half Moon
Bay to repel an imaginary invasion
from the sea. The run was made in
one hour and fifteen minutes in twenty
cars and two trucks of the Chester n.
Weaver Company, San Francisco, dis
tributor of Studebaker automobiles.
Major S. f. Bottoms was in COM
mand of the trip, which was made in
accordance with an offer to the mill
tia autherities at the Preside by the
Studebakef men at the time of this
governments severing of diplomatic
relations with Germany. Although the
offer was accepted at that time, the
Studebaker organization was not no
titled in advance when they would be
called on.
At $40 o'clock the morning of
March 1S, the call came to be ready
by 7.30 at the Preside. At the hour
appointed the caravan, each car in
charge of a Studebaker driver and
carrying its quota of soldiers, pro-
ceeded via the San Mateo road.
Not halt or mishap delayed the
run, and at S.45 the force was landed
on the bay shore, the two machine
guns unloaded from the truck and
hurry-up preparations made to pre-
vent the imaginary hostile fleet from
landing men. Considering that the
distance is thirty-nine and one-half
miles, it will be readily appreciated
what the time means.
Swinging, sliding almost, down the
mountains, around the curves it was a
miracle that they escaped without ac-
cident, tire, engine, brake, motor or
any other trouble. The fact that every
car and every man arrived at the
same time, clearly demonstrated the
efficiency and durability of the Stude-
baker.
Major Bottom, military observer on
the test run. said: 1T was one of the
most satisfactory demonstrations
have ever witnessed, and forcibly dem
onstrates what can be expected OF
motor vehicles over any other method
of transportation. Without large con-
crete placements of big guns along the
coast for protection against the raid
of any enemy, the short time to move
troops from one point to another by
auto, is convincingly evident that we
can protect our coast at any point
without fear of the enemy successfully
taking any one point. can't say toe
much in praise of the actions of the
Studebaker cars on the run to Halt

Cadillac Production Up
to 100 Cars Per Day

According to the statement of Sales
Manager z. c. Howard, the produc-
ton of eight-cylinder Cadillacs for
the month of March reached a total
of 2,O32 cars, and April is expected
to show a substantial increase to
reach an average of one hundred cars
per day.

caused by delays in obtaining ma
terials in spite of foresight in placing
contracts long ago, and on account
of railroad congestion both in and
out of Detroit.
The railroad situation, however, is
reported somewhat easier, and the
material situation is now so we'll in
hand that production SO far as the
Cadillac factories are concerned can
be pushed to the limit.

takes time to spend these billions and
in the meantime the people of the
United States will be getting that
much more economic wealth. Instead
of contracting business, the war is
going to increase business. 1t will
give the people of the United states
that much more purchasing power.
What is making good times?
Every factory in the country running
to full capacity, every laboring man
getting top-notch wages, and every
factory selling its product at fair
profit; every farmer getting top-notch
prices for his grain and cattle. Why
should anyone think under these con-
ditions, that there is going to be any
contraction in the purchasing power
of the people? The people have the
money and they want manufactured
materials of all kinds.
THE government is not going to
interfere with general business in this
country or commander the manufac-
turing institutions. Have we not sup.
piled more than two million troops of
the Allies with munitions, clothes.
arms, motor trucks and other articles
used in war without taxing our man
ufacturing resources beyond the
limit?
THE allied nations have caught up
now and the factories of America are
nO WoptH u lllG OI
the United States government with its
requirements for equipping an army
of two million men. They are ready
to turn their attention to supplying
our own troops with everything they
need for the defense of our own
country. We have the Allies to thank
for this important factor in prepared
ness. 1t means now simply speed
ing up on production instead of de-
creasing and America will come out
within the next two years with a
magnificent army. 1t is more than
possible that our army will not go
into the fighting trenches of Europe,
but nevertheless we will have one of
the greatest scientifically equipped
armies in the world and America can
take her place among the nations of
the world in a fitting position.
Universal military service has got
to come. The really pitiable position
which America is in to-day with prac-
tically no trained fighting force has
proven that and it will be one of the
greatest boons this country has ever
had. 1t has taken a crisis such as
this to prove it to the American peo-
pie Ayear's military training serv-
pie. A years military training serv-
try will fit him to be real man and
give us a sense of security that
America has never yet felt. And
American institutions are worth
fighting for"

For sixty-fiv years the name Studebaker

Studebaker has put into it's product the

Can Recover Taxes
Credited by City
To His Neighbor
Was Generally Thought Re-
dress Could Not Be Had Un-
der the Common Law

BY Advisory Council Of Real Estate In
terests
Two decisions recently handed down
by the Appellate Division, Supreme
Court Of this state. OF especial impor-
lance to property owners have been
briefly summarized by the Advisory
Council Of Real Estate Interests.
The first case IS that Of Baranowski
VS. Wetzel. Owing TO a confusion IN
the assessment rolls Of a city, two sep
arata and distinct parcels OF land,
owned by different persons. were de-
scribed as being of the same number
and located on the same block IN the
same ward. In good faith one Of the
owners paid his assessment, but the
tax clerk carelcssly credited the amount
20 his neighbor The person who made
the payment was unable 70 obtain re-
endorsement from the person benehted
thereby. and the court held that he
could maintain a suit in equity TO i'm
nose a lien upon his neighbor's land for
the amount Of the payment
In such an action the court may de-
cree that the lien be foreclosed and the
land sold in satisfaction thereof. TINS
decision disposcs Of the usual detence'
as well as the old legal understanding
that a real estate owner who. without
compulsion. pays the tax or assessment
upon the land Of his nAghbor through
mistake or not is unable TO recover the
payment made because such an action
is voluntary and the common law will
not afford relief under such circum-
stances
The second case. Erland vs.. Glbbans,
relates % an action commenced by
real estate broker against a client for
commissions claimed 70 have been
earned for efecting an agreement for
an exchange of real estate. The broker
was employed 10 either sell certain
houses and lots here in New York. or
20 procure an exchange for a farm. Ihe
broker found a person who owned
farm at Austerlitz, y. Y. and an agree
ucrt was made between the respective
owners Of the city and country proper
ties for an exchange. The broker had
a secret agreement concealed from MS
client. whereby he was also 70 receive
: commission from the owner Of the
farm, as we'll as from his client. The
oninion Of the court was that where
real estate broker advises his principal

change and takes an active part IN the
