WITH The NUMBERLESS GODS
Battered and Neglected Images Of
euddha Give q Better Understand
Inc OF the Oriental Nature.

Now and again, in some forgotten
byway, the traveller chances on some
glimpse into the heart Of a foreign ma
ton that lights up the dark places with
flash OF insight. Such glimpse may
be had into the heart of Japan by a
visit to what are known locally as the
Numberless Gods. 1t is difficult to ex-
plain how these battered images Of
Buddha can lead to q better under
standing Of Oriental character, but it
is safe to say that few men have Wis
tied them without coming away feeling
that they are little closer to the mys-
terry of Japan, says world traveller.
The Numberless Gods are so known
because, according to local tradition,
they cannot be counted. They stand
by the banks Of a swift stream flowing
onward to Tokyo, and they are old and
moss-grown, forgotten and neglected.
II you will try to count them, you will
see how the tradition about them ORR
ginated. They are so much alike that
your count will never be twice the
same. True, the irreverent tourist may
go down the line tapping each one with
his cane and calling OF the numbers,
but that were q sorry way to treat Q
picturesque legend. -
They stand In q smiling line, these
gods OF stone, worn and defaced by the
hight Of centuries; features s0ftened
and blurred by the years, moesgrown
and half hidden BY grasses, forgotten
BY their worshippers, smiling, always
smiling. 1t is the peculiar, inscrutable
smile Of the Buddha, the only god who
smiles. Doomed to suffer, according
to the Buddhist creed, until all sin has
from earth, he smiles eter-
nally In all his images. In these neg
lected stones, that would have some
thing pathetic about them did they rep
resent any other god, the smile seems
to speak Of q supernal knowledge, q
wisdom that is above circumstance and
time. The smile of the image in an in
cense clouded temple is a haunting and
unforgettable thing, but the smile Of
these neglected roadside gods under
the open sun goes deeper. It seems to
sum up the mystery that lies at the
heart Of the most mystical creed.

Uniforms Of 1912 Elaborate.

During the war Of 1872 several types
Of uniform were worn BY the Ameri-
can forces. There was little left to
remind one Of the Revolutionary war.
Instead Of the long cutaway, enlisted
men wore single-breasted, close-but-
toned coats, with the skirts fashioned
after the civilian dress coat Of today.
Facings disappeared and the collars
became enormously high, rising to the
tip Of the ear. Hats were high, some
Infantry wearing headpieces much Ike
those worn BY the cabmen Of the days
Just preceding the taxicab. The on
GERS Of the line and the men wore coats
Of the same form, but the trimming
was white tape or silver lace.

he had observed curious fact in re-

with the same surroundings and the

THE CODE OF MARCIA GRAY

There are many forms of moral
honor, and every woman has her own
individual code of ethics to govern
various situations. The code of
Marcia Gray, the basis for the Oliver
Morosco photoplay of that name, will
win ready sympathy. Suddenly de-
prived of her life of refinement and
luxury by the cowardice of her hus-
band at critical moment she finds
but one solace-Orlando Castle
her former sweetheart, and friend of
her. husband. Marcia's code met a
great and unexpected test-not from
the usual triangle of two men and a
woman-but in what makes one of
the strong, human moments in a
charming production.
The wonderful personality of Con-
stance Collier as Marcia Gray makes
her part one of universal appeal.
Every woman will find in the great
crisis in Marcia Gray's life a mar
velously exact duplication of what
she would have to do, and experience,

BE CAREFUL IN THE USE OF
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

1t costs the car owner money to
use Electrical Accessories on his car
if they depend upon the storage bat
terry for power, according to c. l..
Sanderson, the local Willard expert.
"The stock battery of an automo-
bile," says Mr.. Anderson, "is care
fully designed to fill the need of the
individual car and it's electrical
equipment.
"If the car owner uses extra lights,
cigar lighters, trouble finders and ac-
cessories of that character, he is real
ly overlooking the battery and will in
a short time practically exhaust it if
he depends upon The generator alone
to replace the power that he is us
ing"
ITO prevent battery exhaustion
caused by these extras, the battery
must be charged at regular intervals
at service station or the generator
must be readjusted to feed power
enough to it to take care of the extra
load.
at is entirely probable that the lat
ter cannot be done, for the generator
along with the rest of the electrical
equipment is designed to fit the nor
NAL needs of the car. In this case,
then, the car owner should not be sur
prised and grieved when he is called
upon to pay for outside charging.
"To repeat, the motorist must be
very careful in the fitting of his car

Cars are now indispensable to the
modern farmer. Ten years ago a man
thought himself lucky to own one car
and it amply sufficed for the needs Of
himself and family. Nowadays this
same individual finds that it requires
two or more cars to meet the needs
of his domestic establishment. Among
the latest professionals to find that
an automobile is indispensable are
the veterinary doctors. The farmers
will not call veterinarian who does
not own car. The sick horse or
cow would be dead before he got
there.

GET OUT YOUR DINNERS
New Law Puts Crimp in Privileges of
Glaring Headlight Fiend.

A new law which went into effect
Saturday upon publication of the new
session laws requires motorists to use
DINNERS or dispersion lenses on head
lights.
The new law requires that all mo-
tor cars equipped with electric light
apparatus must carry either disper-
sion lenses or DINNERS. That is to
stop the glare that has proved so dam
gerous to motorists in all parts of the
state. Glaring headlights have caused
dozen deaths, many injuries and
many cars smashed.
The law also requires that the glar-
ing headlights be turned off whenever

KEROSENE FOR FoRDs IN 1918?

A perfected kerosene vaporizer, it
is announced, is now ready for appli-
cation to Ford cars in the United
States. Extensive experiments have
been made with it in the Ford fac
tory in Detroit and it is reported,
without official confirmation, that in
1918 models the new device will be
offered as optional equipment.
Taking the place of a gasoline car
buretor and permitting the use of the
comparatively inexpensive coal oil of
commerce the vaporizer just now
probably is the most interesting OBJ
ject in the motor world. Should it
prove to have the Endorsement of the
Ford builders its Importance will, of
course, be greatly enhanced but on
this point a profound silence pre-
walls. The vaporizer will burn kero-
sene, benzol, distillate, gasoline, or
any hydro-carbon with a final boil
ing point below 800 degrees.
In attaching to standard model
T Ford with left hand drive, the
standard gaskets, collars and clamps
are retained. The regular exhaust
pipe is replaced by longer one with
special bends. The cylinder head is
replaced with a new head by means
of special long cap screws. The stan
dard gasoline tank makes way for a
two compartment tank to carry the
main supply of kerosene and a small
amount of gasoline for starting.

AUTOMOBILE SECTION ten" s.ss
MOTOR CARS NEEDED
TO CARRY TROOPERS
Rapid Time Made Where Automo-
biles Are Available

When it comes to matters military,
little Visalia, CAL, is not only patri-
otto but strictly modern. A short
time ago the recruiting officers in
that town were informed that ma
chine gun company was needed in a
hurry by the Second California In
fantry.
A rapid-fire recruiting campaign
produced the men in "a hours and
then dozen men Of Visalia, who own
Dodge Brothers motor cars, offered
to set the new recruits at the Pre-
sidio at SanFrancisco in record time.
This was the first attempt at NOV
ing troops by motor in the San Joa-
quin Valley and it was watched with
much interest by military men.
The 230 mile run was made in
eight and one-haf hours, with an av-
erage speed of 81 miles an hour. The
first half of the trip was completed
with 35-mile average, but rain and
slippery roads cut the average to 81
before the ferry at Oakland was
reached.
While the number of men moved
in this particular instance was small
the run demonstrated that the num-
Der of troops it would be possible to
rush to given point would depend
wholly on the number of motors
available.
The only delay on the entire trip
was occasioned by five punctures.
The performance of the. Dodge
Brothers cars aroused high praise
from the officers who accompanied
the recruits on the trip.

A High Standard Made
Higher Still

Naturally this is knowledge of what
is expected by the buyer breds
deep sense of responsibility.
In the Works, it has the effect of in
spring Dodge Brothers to con-
slant personal oversight of all of
the manufacturing operations.
Their own lifelong zeal for good
workmanship is sharpened and
stimulated by realization of what
the public expects from them.
The entire institution is honestly
permeated with the idea that quail
ity and performance are paramount
and all important.
And so, a standard which was natur-
ally high, has been made higher still
by the bestowal of complete conf
dence on the part of the public.
1t is a mutual contract which offers
constant inspiration to the manu-
facturer and constant insurance to
the customer.
With the interests of buyer and sell
er so closely knit together, the result
everywhere, is what might have
been expected.
1t is impossible for Dodge Brothers,
with all their great facilities, to
build enough motor cars to satisfy
the public.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-06-07

Were they so disposed, Dodge
Brothers could not lower the quail
ity of this car.
They are no longer free agents, be-
cause public opinion has establish
ed standard for everything bear
ing their name.
They dare not fall below the high
estimate that has been formed OF
them as motor car manufacturers.
The American people are quick to
detect deterioration.
And what is much more important
they expect the constant improve
ment of any product in which they
repose complete confidence.
They would be slower to forgive a
fault in any car Dodge Brothers
might might build than in one they
esteem less highly.
Every dealer in Dodge Brothers
cars knows that the customers who
come to him, come with the highest
possible expectations.
He knows that the thing that he is
selling primarily is Dodge Brothers
word and their good name.
He knows that he is not merely
dealing in motor cars, but acting as
custodian for Dodge Brothers rep
utation.

A surprising bit of news revealed
by Capt. Keene is the fact that more
motorcyclists have been killed so far
by the motor lorries of their own
army than by enemy bullets. Trans
port trains have orders to get
through at top speed. regardless Of
other road users-and they follow
those orders. II they run through =

right and left II is all in the days
work-and the motorcyclist know II.
II huge motor truck should simply
bump a cyclist off the road and let
1t 60 at that. the case would not be
SO bad. but they usually hurl the
rider fifteen or twenty feet ahead
on the road and then run over him.
Under no conditions can a motor
lorrie train stop without orders. Tons
of high explosives. or equally preci-
Gus foodstuffs. must 60 through at
any cost once they are started. So
very important part Of the motor
cyclists work is to keep out of the
way. In the early stages Of the war

were allowed to ride pretty close to
the front, but 1t was later found ad-
visable to leave the motors behind

When asked in the light of his
actual experience what the biggest
lesson Is that America has to learn
