 Nick RadOyich is the second man of Sbagway's quota to go from here and it is to be regretted that all of them could not have gone at the same time as that would have siven the people of Skagway. & chance to show their appreciation by giving them a send-off such as would be coming to them.

Nowi he is erect and proud and gone to help in this great battle of liberating his kind from oppression. Father, would my motherlove grow weak and hold him back?

VITAL IMPORTANCE OF BETTER ROADS
 TOLD BY WILLIAMS
The Old Romans Could Have Subjugated World With Modern Truck and
 Their Roads

''As the importance of mechanica' transport becomes impressed upon the American people, then the matter of bet ter roads and highways becomes a more vital factor" says S. M. Williams. sales manager of the Garford Motor Truck company, Lima, o. flor the highways of this country will become as necessary as the railroad rights-of-ways.
 And just as the railroads have spent time and effort to lessen distances he- tween points by strengthening out their routes so that they would represent a bee line between cities and have estab- lished grades which mean easier hauls, just so will the great highways be planned and improved to facilitate mo- tor truck traffic.
 'sThe old Romans appreciated the great importance of the military roads and many of these marvels of engineering skill are still in evidence; lasting monu- nents to their prowess. Had the ola Romans been possessed of the modern motor truck transportation. they couio have subjugated the whole world.
 But we today are preparing through war for peace. The war has but served to open our eyes to our needs in high way transportation"

Car-Finish Protected
 During Driveway
Huge Envelope Devised to Preserve Cadillac Lustre From Road
 Effects

Since freight congestion compeis that many motor cars be delivered from factories to dealers under their own power over the road, the ingenuity of manufacturers and dealers has been at work to devise an effective way or protecting the finish from the ef- fects of road splashing.
 Many methods have been proposed, and the Cadillac Motor Car company believes the plan evolved by it's dealer at Baltimore to be one of the most eff ficient
 framework of light wood is at tached to the car and over this is placed an envelope, properly Tilted. All parts of the car except the wheels and the front lenders are protected py waterproof material which Is held firm and taut by clips and cleats The wooden frame prevents the envelope from rubbing the fine finish or com ing into contact with 1t at all. Even the interior of the car is protected, for the envelope extends upward to the lower edge of the top.
 Recent photographs show 8 camou- flaged Cadillac upon its arrival in Bal timore, after having been driven all the way from Detroit. In one photograph tho car Is seen with its envelope mud bespattered. In the other the covering has been removed, revealing the finish as resplendent as the day the car was driven out of the finishing rom at the factory In this way a new car is ytrned over to the buyer with its ex- terior in as good condition as though shipped In box car; and with the en- zine and other parts sufficiently run in to remove the mechanical stiffness which characterizes a new motor car.

Pneumatic Tires
 for Motor Trucks

The proper tire equipment for com mercial vehicle depends on the service in which it is used. No one type of tine can best meet all conditions.
 Truck operators and truck engineers rapidly are coming to realize that pneumatic tires frequently offer dis tinct advantage-even on heavy ve- hicles.
 Where street conditions are difficult where loads are fragile, where com fortable riding is necessary, or where greater speed is wanted, there is growing tendency toward the use of pneumatic tires.
 This is due not alone to the fact that pneumatics meet the requirements of such service more efficiently, but also because they meet them more eco- nomically.

Lens Given More
 Attention by Users

Evidently many thousands of motor ists have long felt the need of legal and more satisfactory lens equipment for their cars. This has been evidenced by the instant demand for the Macbe tn lens with the green glass visor, which is made by the Macbeth Evans Glass company. This company has been prom inent in the scientific production of for 40 years.
 Even though the Macbeth has been on the market for but a short time there is scarcely city in the country where it Is not seen on many makes of cars. Following this great demand by individuals many makers of auto mobiles decided to use it on every car they produced,

 If your ignition switch is left on, in stead of your battery being drained, your switch is kicked off by the vi brations of 8 small hammer actuated by an electro magnet. The owner of a car equipped in this way is not only safe against such battery trouble as that caused by the ignition switch be- ing left on, but he is insured against unnecessary expense which results from such carelessness

Origin of "Machiavellian"

rTOln the IFeOple 5 I1OIHc JouIHdl
 A favorite epithet for centuries, the word "Machiavellian," has seen tireless service since the beginning of the pres ent war as an adjective to be hurled at rulers who are accused of being treach- erous and dishonorable. The adjective is derived from the name of Niccolo Machi- avelli of Florence, Italy. who died in 1527.
 Machiavelli, famous as an author, wrote book, The Prince" in an en- deavor to prove that. for the establish- ment and maintenance of government. any means might be resorted to, no mat ter how treacherous unlawful or Gis- honorable. The ruler would be justified in using these forses, the author argued. because he would only be pitting them against similar traits of wickedness and treachery in his people.
 Machiavelli was friend of popular government. and for several centuries there were a few who argued that "The Prince" did not truly represent his principles, but in reality was a satire on rule by despots. The dispute was set at rest in 1910, however. by the discovery of a letter written by Machiavelli The author said he wrote the book for the private reading of the Medici. an Ital- ian family of great wealth and power. because he desired to curry favor with them. and he had no idea the book was to be published.
