PAIGE SIX MAKES
 FINE FUEL TEST RUN
Shows 17 Miles to the Gallon Under Normal Driving
 Conditions

How far will a seven passenger, six cylinder car. carrying a normal load, travel on a gallon of gasoline? Ask Bill Pape of the Detroit Motor company, local distributors.
 Opinions vary on this important mat ter of economy" said MT. Pape, gen orally according to the make of the car, the grade of the gasoline and the operat- ing conditions. A well-known Paige deal CT, however, determined to settle the matter so far as a Paige 'Six-51 is con- cerned, and made an interesting test un- der conditions which were as nearly nor nal as possible
 "The result was an excellent fuel econ omy record, the big Paige turning just r miles flat. This record is all the more interesting when it Is recalled that re- gently a Paige Six achieved a new rec ord by turning in a score of 626.2 miles in "A hours on high gear
 'The car chosen for the fuel economy test had been driven a little more than 1200 miles, and no special preparation was made except to be assured that the cylinders were free from carbon and the plugs clean. The speedometer had been officilly tested before the run was made. That special carburetor ad- justment was made to give an abnor-

F|RESTONE TIRES
 ARE LIFE INSURANCE
Speedway Records Depen- dent on Tire Makes Eff
 ciency, States OIdfield

New speedway records now depen1 as much upon the efficiency of tire mak- CTS as on the automobile manufacturer, according to Barney Oldfield, veteran race driver and holder of many records" said J. D. Weldon,- manager of the local branch of the Firestone.
 Speedway racing has reached point where improved residence, endurance and balance in tires are necessary for in creased speed
 During the past five years Oldfield has taken part in very few contest events, devoting his efforts to time trials and exhibition driving This year, however, he Intends to take an active part in all the big auto races. He is working out daily on the big speedway at Cincinnati in preparation for the Decoration day contest In that city.
 Oldfield recently visited the F'irestone factories to inspect the making of the new F'irestone Cord tires, which he will use in all his races this year. He ex- pressed the opinion that this new Fire stone product wac certain to prove itself to any speedway test, and reafflrmed his intention of retaining his old slogan,
 Firestone tires are my only life insur- ance."
 The veteran driver will pilot a new type of racing car this year. It's con- struction is radical departure from all previous models and Is expected to create a sensation when 1t appears. The design is a pet idea of Oldfield and he is of the belief that 1t will revolutionize the racing game.
 The new racer has a completely en- closed body, built like an egg shell. Old field and his mechanician will be com pletely protected from injury by track accidents, while the shape of the body will give the minimum of wind resist ance, which Is one of the greatest causes of power loss in racing.
 The new is built of aluminium throughout, It's roof being trussed and all joints reinforced by oxide welding The engine was built especially for the car, which is exceptionally light when compared with the weight of other rac- ing machines. With his Firestone equip ment and his new machine, Oldfield ex- poets to lower several worlds records during 1917.''

SOUTH IS FULL OF-
 PATRIOTIC SPIRIT
Saxon Boundary Cars En- counters Patriotic Demon
 stration Everywhere

Patriotism Is in the air of the south land, and everywhere that the Saxon roadster has journeyed on its trip around the boundaries of the country the ob- servers have found city, village and coun- tryside rallying to the flag to support the nation in its hostilities with Ger many" is the opinion of Paul Crawford, the local agent.
 "Whie the Saxon roadster's mission in blazing a trail along the rim of the United States was a peaceful one and de- signed to give the adventurous motorist a new roadway. the trail also has special military significance. This together with the general awakening of the country to defense, Is creating unusual interest in the journey of the roadster, which now has progressed along the boundary from Washington to point on the Texas state line somewhat beyond Galveston.
 "Everywhere the car has been received with the greatest hospitality, and special pains have been taken by many commit mites to furnish the trail blazers with accurate road data and to tighten, if possible the task of marking out a new route of this kind. These data, some of which undoubtedly will be of value to the government In event of any considera ble troop movements along the Atlantic seaboard south of Chesapeake bay, will be turned over to the officials, and the car is endeavoring to cooperate in every way it can with the federal au- thorities

AUTOMOBILES MAY
 BECOME SCARCE
Factory May Cut Down Pro- ductiOn on Account of
 Shortage of Material

With the purchase of vast quantities Of sheet steel, hickory. cotton duck, leather and in fact, all basic materials for war purposes, manufacturers of au- tomobiles anticipate grievous shortage of cars within 50 to 90 days Even now several factories have been compelled to cut down production materially, owing to lack of sufficient material, yet in reality purchases for war purposes have hardly begun said c. P. Hammond of the Flint Motor Car company.
 Insufficient shipping facilities and shortage of labor have confronted auto manufacturers for sometime, and these factors will become worse before they become better. So, taking all in all, the buyer who would be sure of his car for summer use should act promptly"

 Gasoline was taken from a regular Standard Oil service station and 1t was the ordinary low test. The car was driven in and out of the city during the test and the driver kept 1t as nearly at 22 miles an hour as possible. An affidavit of the performance was sworn to by the passengers.
 When it is considered that the big Paige weighs about 3400 ponuds carried four hefty men, and that the motor is three and one-half inches bore by five and one-parter inches stroke, the Emile record is deserving of special considera- tion."

And readers no longer turn first to the comics ana sport section World events more thrilling than any fiction the magazines can buy have captured the primary in- terest of the public
 The newspaper right now is the most effective medium possible to tell the Su- per-SiX story. Readers now turn to mag azns, not for stimulation, but for a. mild digest of news they have already learned from the newspapers. Their minds are not receptive, but digestive, satiated. The Hudson story will reach them when the intellect is sparkling.
 Hitherto the Hudson newspaper ad- vertising has not employed illustrations. Type has been used to tell the story-and with truly wonderful results. But in these intense times the dramatic appeal is particularly opportune, and from now on Hudson will employ dynamic illus tratons-illustrations with dramatic interest, picturing stirring scenes of Super-Sixes in some of the record break ing accomplishments of the past year"

"To cross the plains by OK teams and horses over the trail which cut the path for what is how known as the Lincoln highway, and then, on the fiftleth anni- versary of their wedding, to drive over the same trail with 1917 Mitchell Six is an occasion to be enjoyed by very few" said Neil Newell of the Newell Auto company.
 George Holloway, of Oakland, Cal, with his wife has just celebrated their fiftieth anniversary, and to repeat their early history, drove into Giroy once again, this time, however, in Mitchell car, instead of by OK team.
 Three years after Holloway came to California Mrs. Holloway crossed the plains by a horse drawn prairie schooner, and coming by Gilroy, met her husband.
 "A part of the wedding ceremony was the taking up of their abode in their present home, in which they have lived during the 50 years. At the recent cele- bration there were two of the witnesses of the marriage, and among the others present were Judge Short of Hanford, a brother of Mrs. Holloway; Mrs. Henry Hecker, wife of the president of the Bank of Gilroy, Mrs. Holloway's daugh- ter, and Ray E.

among the enlisted men at Madison
Barracks, Plattsburg. and elsewhere
that the war work council Of the
Young Mems Christian Association
has arranged to inaugurate classes in
French instruction at all the army
and navy training camps in this coun-
try.
Madison Barracks reports nearly
500 men lined up to study French,
with a professor from Colgate UniVer-
sity giving his entire time to the work.
In practically every camp the teach
ing force is organized on a volunteer
basis, under the direction Of the as
sociation secretary.
Special text books have been pre-
pared by the University Of Chicago
Press and by DR.. Walter L. Harvey
and associates in the department of
education Of New York City. A fea-
ture of the instruction will consist of
many thousands of copies of the New
Testament printed in French and
English, in parallel columns.

and promises to be one of the finest
features of the programs Of the four
Sunday evening services to come.
The male quartet, composed of G.
A. Andrus, P. c. Hall, 3. H. Knoll
enberg, and G. A. Brown, has beer
loaned by Central Union church for

repeat Now the Day Is Over" at
the close of the sermon.
Mrs. g. K. Tackabury will sing
and has chosen one of Van de Waters
songs, "The Publican" Miss Harri-
son will accompany her. Mrs. Tack
abury's voice is we'll fitted for out
