will be long remembered. He spoke
of the magnificent temple they would
ultimately build, in which they would
build character, transform lives and
make happy homes. He referred to DIR.
Snelson, the splendid leader, under
whose magnificent aegis they had
marched to victory. Gin every great
erisis'', continued Bishop Parks, "God
has raised up leader to meet the
emergency. In DR.. Snelson, you have
found the Man of the Hour who en-
abled st. Marys A. NJ. E. Church to
cross the river Jordan and take posses
sion of Jericho. You should rejoice
that God has given you this splendid
leader, whose indomitable spirit could
not be surpassed, whose accomplish
ments could not be excelled. When the
greatest man African Methodism has
produced, with the possible exception
of Richard Allen, Il refer to Bishop
Henry McNeal Turner) desired some

ca he built two splendid churches and
opened several progressive Missions
which are at work, even to this day."
I have lived in Chicago part of the
time DR.. Snelson has been here and I
have seen him grow in the favor of the
citizens of Chicago. When he came to
Chicago about two years ago, he was
regarded as an erudite scholar and pro-
found thinker. His wiping out the
first Mortgage of 100000 in his first
year here demonstrated the fact that
he was something of fnaneier. But
during the past year, he has won new
laurels as gifted and versatile preach.

ing Sermon on "Judas IseariOt' in
st. Johns A. NJ E. Church, the one on
hedlIu, III inc 1uSIlJuIlOudl SHuICu
and the one in Quinn Chapel made
profound impression upon the hearers.
Some regarded the sermon on "Judas
Iscariot" as the finest analytical study
of the betrayer of Christ that they had
ever heard. Then too, in his own
Church, DR.. Snelson preached a series
of sermons on the Lords Prayer, which
proved to be helpful, instructive and
Illuminating.
Both as a preacher, pastor and fl
nancier, DR.. Snelson has been eourag
eous, capable and energetic. His
faith, optimism, geniality and generos-
ity have been reflected in the spirit
of his members, which makes St.
Marys Church seem like CHEEKY and
pleasant home. DR.. Snelson might
well exclaim in the language of the
Apostle Paul, 81 am thankful that
have not been disobedient unto the
Heavenly Vision"

AN INGENIOUS
AUTO DEVICE

Following the right road on an au-
tOmobile tour will be as nearly auto
matte as human ingenuity can make
it for users of a modified speedometer
device to be marketed soon. This
ingenious affair consists chiefly of a
boX-like instrument to be attached to
the steering column under the drivers
eye and containing a long strip of
paper tape which moves slowly across
the face of the instrument as the
car is driven. On the tape are print
ted symbols indicating mileage. right
and left turns, half turns, railroad
crossings, trolley lines, bridges and
viaducts, and points where the driver
must use special caution. Each tape
gives detailed directions for an entire
trip, with data about roads, hotels,
garages ans the like.
By using a reversing device the
same tape may be used for a trip in
the opposite direction. Only one tape
supplied to a purchaser, the others
to be obtained by free exchange at
designated service stations. The de-
vice will cost SIS installed.

PNEUMATIC TIRES
GIVE BEST SERVICE

Ia discussing the possibility of
perfect tires, z. II. Fitch, sales man
ager of Diamond. tires, at Philadel-
phia, said: Nowadays, when we see
so many, variations, limitations and
licensees of the pneumatic tire on
the market, we sometimes stop and
thinks is the pneumatic tire right
in principle2 VIII we always con-
tnue to ride along on skillfully built
cushions of air, or will science evolve
some heretofore unheard Of conbina-
ton which viii do away with the IN
certainties of the pneumatic tire?'
81 can only say in answer to this,
that almost every innovation in the
tire world has been tried out in the
laboratories of the Diamond Rubber
Company, and has been discarded IN
favor Of the pneumatic tire.
1.-THE main reason for the non-suc-
cess Of the pseudo pneumtic tire is
that it costs so much in the begin
ming, owing to the great amount of
material that must go into it, that 1t
cannot deliver mileage at as low a
price per mile as the pneumatic. And
Furthermore, we have never seen q
tire In any other class that is as re-
silient-as a pneumatic tire.
tsWefirmly believe that IF improve
ments in tire are to come, they will
be improvements in the pneumatic
tire and notin tires built on any other
principle.
N.And ths-&lre of today will travel
H. far greater distance than the tire
that used to cost much more money
The product has been wonderfully
improved, and the end of improve
uaent Is not yeo in sight. While the
Diamond Is good tire, It is only
reasonable to suppose that from the

HOW LONG SHOULD
1 BATTERY LAST?

This question" says Mr.. P. L.
Brown, the local Willard expert. as
asked me more frequently, perhaps,
than any other by car owners. And it
is question to which a definite
answer is impossible.
This one thing is certain. Batteries
90 wear out and the length of service
they give the car owner is dependent
almost entirely upon the care which
the car owner gives them.
"A battery that is absolutely neg
lected by its owner and at the same
time called upon for heavy service
may be ruined inside of two months.
On the other hand a battery that
is we'll cared for by its owner. that
is looked into by a battery EXPERT
regularly, taking promptly the stitch
in time that saves nine NAV give
satisfactory service as long as two
and a half years.
1T is, however, impossible to state
any definite term of life for a bat
terry because 1t depends upon so many
things. If the slightest thing goes
out Of order in the generator, the bat
terry suffers. If the car owner is
careless in the use of his lights. the
battery suffers; If he goes touring
in summer and overheats his battery,
it suffers. The battery on a delivery
car or a doctors car undergoes hard
er service than any other because it
has to start the engine very frequent
ly and between times is not run far
enough to allow the generator to re-
turn the energy that is expended.
ITO get the longest possible life
out of his battery the car owner when
he gets his new machine should take
it to battery expert, have it tested
to see that it is in tiptop condition to
start, tell the expert something of
he conditions of service under which
it will have to stand up and keep in
touch with the expert for two or three
months. In this way the car owner
himself is instructed in the care of
the battery and since he is in con-
slant touch with the battery expert
such minor adjustments as are nee
essary in the battery and generating
equipment can be made.
at is impossible then to say just
how long a battery will live, hut we
de know that the better care a bat
terry receives, the longer its life"

AUTO TIRE MAKERS
REDUCE FIRE RISK

In these wartime days when every
pound or product that our varied in
dustries can produce, has a direct
bearing on our efficiency as a fight
ing nation, the loss that the country's
tire output would sustain through
through the destruction of any of
the large tire manufacturing plants
is almost incalculable.
In the eEfTy days of the rubber in
dustry it was no uncommon occurr-
ence for rubber plant to be COM
pletely wiped out.
Latterly, however, rubber ms@u-
facturers have reduced their fire ha-
yards UNNECESSARILY, through the
agencies of effective representatives.
measures and the maintenance of
trained fire fighting forces.
One of the companies that stand
out conspicuously in this regard is
The Goodyear Tire y Rubber Co, of
Akron, Ohio, which for rsght years
has maintained an organization that
holds an enviable record in the reduc
ton of fire losses.
During the year the Goodyear force
fought 100 fires which resulted in a
physical loss Of only $780, re-
markable record when it IS remember
ed that the company's hazards is
distributed over seventy-fve acres of
floor space.
Goodyear uses the three platoon
system, with twenty men to each
platoon. The signal system used
allows the department to reach any
part of the mammoth plant in 80
seconds.
