How much mileage do you get per dollar when you puy tires that are sec onds? asks H. J. Posner, of the Black lock-Posner Tire Co. The best way to analyze your investment in tires is to compare first quality tire against a second You rraye pay more for the first quality tire but you get at least 40 per cent more mileage and have less punctures The thing to dc when you buy tires is stick to the best qual- ity and then buy the tires that have reputation.

American boys in France are not soldiers yet" says Herbert Corey, in Everybody's. "To be more precise, they are not soldiers from the European point of view. days or a weeks or months experience stands between most of them and complete efficiency as fighting men. Some must be taught the tricks of the trade. Others fight well enough when they are stirred but they must learn to look on killing as job instead of a sporting trans action.

Says Officers Fight for
 Cadillacs at the Front
Famous Eight Cylinder Favored in the Fighting Zone Because of
 Stamina and Speed

~The big fight, of course, is to get the Hun, says Harry E. Merrell, one of the Cadillac employees with the American expeditionary forces, who has recently returned from France, "but back of the line there is lively scramble among the officers to get Cadillacs
 One major told me that the Cadillac was the only car he could depend on under the almost impossible conditions of driving in the fighting zone. The closer you get to the front the moro cut up you find the roads. There is no speed limit and most of the cars have to travel 50 miles an hour or more. The Cadillacs are used mostly for long trips, and include a goodly number of enclosed cars as well as touring cars I don't know just how many Cadillacs there are in France, but 1t runs well into the thousands There are more of them than any other make except one"
 Sergt. Charles J. Feaver, Thirteenth Canadian field ambulance, B E. F., writes to his former employees Hyslop Brothers, Cadillac distributors in To- ronto: 'The Cadillac to us is-j just like a soldiers horse that has been with him through the thickest of the fight, and believe me, it is just as faith ful and reliable. Nothing less than a German shell can put them off the road One of our Cadillac ambulances was completely destroyed by a Ger man '59' which landed on the drivers seat Another was put out of action by an T. F. she'll he continues, "and two others, already well riddled with shrapnel, are still carrying their hon. oraDle scars and giving traditional Cadillac service. Tn every instance not one of the drivers have been hit--all of them being fortunate enough in each case to get away in time In spite of the fact that we get little time to give these cars proper attention, all our remaining Cadillacs are carrying on In truly efficient fighting style"

The first steerable balloon. the fore runner of the once-dreaded Zeppelin, was tried in Berlin 36 years ago, but, like many of it's descendants. it suffered an accident and was disabled in the second experiment. Helmholtz was the first to suggest, in 1872. that balloons might be steered. if moving slowly. The principle on which balloons are based was first formulated by Albert of Saxony an Au- gustlne monk, in the fourteenth century. In 17SS Joseph and Stephen Montgolfier Of France made successful ascent in fire balloon, and few months later in the same year two Frenchmen made the first ascent in hydrogen balloon at Paris.

Regarding your old motor, an average from actual records. You will have four point suspension transmission amidships, two universal joints, far better motor than you will get today. Your motor in Phenix will turn over with load at 15 or 20 miles per hour from 800 to 1000 R. P. M., or on our standard great ratio will be to 1 and will turn over the same number of revolutions as any factory built truck with the same gear ratio. The man that tells you that your motor in a converted Phenix turns over faster or will heat up, simply is trying to sell you something else that he is making a tre- mendous profit on or does not know what he is talking about. Let us show you what some of the best engineers in America have to say on the subject.

He came to face downward in a shell

I'VE arrived in Chateau-Thierry and

call upon us. A few moments later he
called and invited Miss Morgan and
myself to dine. Just before coffee we
were invited to come out into the gar
den, where I thought naturally we
were to have coffee. ,
When the doors were thrown open

was lined with company Of cl1as-

on each shoulder with sword, kissed
me on both cheeks, and pinned on

MORE SONG, LEADERS NEEDED
The kind OF man that generally
develops into the best song leader
is first class business man with
a good head on his shoulders who
has liking for music. lie doesn't
need to know anything about music,

Of musical knowledge. Primarily

most important of all-he must en-
Joy the work. Never have l seen
successful soldier song leader
who didn't get more fun out If
':sing" than any other man present.
Becoming a soldier song leader
is an entirely different process from
, learning how to head choir or
glee club. In the latter instances
the men have gathered together
voluntarily for the purpose of sing
ing, and therefore, are interested
before you start It Is necessary
to arouse the soldiers interest, for
he has other things in mind gen.
orally at the time YOU take hold Of
him. He may not care rap about
= singing, but you must learn to make
him do so.
Another big difference is that the
soldier song leader must learn to
'eat dust" He must develop his
wind so he can 60 along on big
hikes, and he must get used to
keeping himself at top speed every
minute he works throughout a long
day. for the moment he lets his
forcefulness sag he becomes totally
ineffective.
SING At BOXING SHOWS
The bunch that puts the most
into it's singing is the crowd at a
big boxing tournament in camp.
The men are all keyed up by the
excitement Of the occasion and,
when you lead them from the ring
you don't have to beg them. A box
ing crowd generally wants Were

That's the real heart song Of the
army-"The Long, Long Trail
This song was written more than
a year before we got in the war
and didn't attract any more atten-
ton at the time than lot of other
songs. But now it is coming into
its own. Twenty years from now
it will be remembered as the heart
song of the big war. For its type
of song it is just as strong with
the soldier as cover There" is for
it's type. It embodies, the spirit Of
the day-the boy going away on his
noble mission, later to come home
perhaps to his wife and sweet
heart-as no other present day song
does. The soldiers love every word
of it's verse and every bar Of its
music.

More Women Dentists?

Dentistry as p profession may have
few attractions generally, especially
for women. Nevertheless, it does af.
ford steady and, in many cases, highly
remunerative work, candidates for
which cannot but be reduced in num-
Der by the exigencies of the war. "A
certain branch of dental work known
as dental mechanics offers field
which seems peculiarly suited to WON.

the natural dexterity and fineness of
touch usually possessed by them
Dental mechanics do not, of course,

side of their undertaking, though
those qualifying as dental surgeons
have to be adequately expert me-
chanics--the greater includes the less,

fairly lucrative and distinctly regular.

more Of it will fall into the hands Of
competent women in the future.
