Mr.. De Ford made this statement.
Mrs. Hearst has directed me, as

INVESTIGATION OF
SCHOOLS 6 Is PROCEEDS

ATLANTA, Ca, June 20.-Atlan-
tians are beginning to wonder where
Major Quinn, the choleric president
of the city board Of education, is going
to land as the result of the investiga-
ton of his administration of school
affairs which is now being conducted
by a committee of council, and as the
result of his attempts to resign one
day and go back ON the board the next
day
Following charges published by
Prof w. F. Dykes, principal of the
Boys High school, in which he ac-
cued Major Quinn of autocratie meth
DDS in the school department, coun-
ell ordered an investigation. Two
days OF testimony by teachers and
grammar school principles developed
the fact that a whirlwind was gather
ing against the president Of the board.
Thereupon Major Quinn rendered his
resignation But instead of stopping
the Investigation, the probe committee
announced that it would keep straight
on, and then the major withdrew the
resignation, but still the matter did
not end, for the city attorney ruled
that a resignation of board member
cannot be Withdrawn, and now Major
Quinn is again off the board.

TELLS WHY AUTO
 |S AN ESSENTIAL

Tt is safe to say that there has never been any factor which has been of more aid in the development of the rural sections of the country than the automobile,' says Bert o. Brown local dealer in Chevrolet automobiles, "and it is easy to see that the motor car is as suming greater importance and becom- ing more indispensable each day
 "One future effect of this growing popularity of the automobile with the farmer will certain be to diminish, al- most to the vanishing point, the many differences which used to exist be- tween the "city' and the country" No one would think of picturing the farm CT of today as the inferior of his city brother in worldly goods, intelligence, or ability to travel. In reality, he is 1 quite the reverse: well-posted, and well-read, and 1t must be admitted that the automobile has been largely respon- sible for this change.
 "The automobile gave him an oppor- tunity of getting in touch with the sur rounding country in which he lives. He | Is able to visit his neighbors oftener. | He goes to town much more than he l used to. He is in touch with the out side world. He is no longer alone.
 Tt Is easy to see what an essential thing the automobile is to the man in the country. It has brought him close to everything desirable. He is no long CT an isolated outsider.
 But as a matter of fact the auto- mobile is an essential everywhere, ir town or country, in the city or on the farm. Its ever increasing popularity proves this conclusively. And the au- tomobile is popular because it is use- ful-because it performs efficiently z mission which before it's event was un- filled. As a utility it has rightfull, earned it's place in the life and affairs of our people.

 SEE HIM THROUGH

Ray W. Ward of the Saufley Rubber company has just returned from trip to Superior, Ray and the surrounding country in which he was held up for considerable time on account of the se- were floods that occurred early in the week. He was visiting the various sub-agents the company has estab- lished throughout Arizona for the handling of the Kelly Springfield tire, when he was caught in the cloudburst at Ray. Tuesday and held over until the next day at o'clock. He was forced to drive his machine through Ii inches of water up a 12-foot embank- ment and over the Ray Consolidated Railroad bridge. Permission was re- ~quired from the company before he could leave in this manner.
 Considerable damage was done at Ray. The garage in which MT Ward kept his machine sustained a damage of about S3,000. The water was three feet deep, three automobiles floated down the river almost a mile, and an- other was buried in the sand in back of the garage.
 The trip home was made without mishap by way of Kelvin and Florence in four hours. MT. Ward used the Kelly Springfield tires on his automo- bile, and at no time did he suffer a loss of air Or any other tire trouble.

AUTOMOBILES ARE

 US AT THIS TIME

The rudest shock that persons who talk about the automobile as pleas ure car" could get would follow the trial of a suggestion made by Dr. H. Il. Hills, assistant general manager of the Packard Motor Car company in a let ter to l.. J. Eastman, president ot the Packards Philadelphia branch.
 'I rather believe it would be good thing if we would stop all motor cars for a week; not let a single wheel turn without a permit from the govern ment," pr. Hills writes.
 The result, Dr. Hills believes, would be an up-t the minute demonstra- tion of the adage about missing the water when the well runs dry. He is certain the motor cars essential use fitness would be established to every body's satisfaction long before the weeks relapse into 18th century trans portation came to a welcome end
 Immediately, the automobile would throw onto the railroads, interurbanS and street railways a traffic burden of almost a billion passenger miles for the single week." says Dr. Hills. Any one can see what that would mean in the present situation, with railroad schedules curtailed, railroad equip ment overtaXed for troop movements, and street railway and interurban companies the country over unable to operate their full equipment because of shortage of man power
