It's just human nature to
look back over the blizzard
days old King Winter
forced on us but a few
months ago!
With the sunny skies and
warm air and the birds and
the blossoms and the farms
springing up all over Har-

life is worth living.
Peculiar, too, when you
stop to think about it!
Here we are-same men
running the street cars who
were here last winter, same
street cars, same tracks,
same trolleys, same routes,
same management - yet
what a difference old fin
icky weather will make in
things.
A good business con-
tract made between men
reads something like this:
1t is hereby agreed, etc.
unless delayed by act of
God ETC.,
We agree to give the
service on the street cars.

We can remedy or counter
act some things that are
made by man. but the
act of Providence are be-
yond everybody's control.
So we have to take the
weather as it comes. d..
We are not kicking,
mind; simply observing
conditions outside our con-
troll, which change condi-
tions which are made by
man. .
And even with the OBJ
stacles in the way, the big
snow storms that tied
things up, we gave service
last winter when most
other things on wheels
weren't t running at all.
To-day schedules are
maintained and everything
is going along swim
mingly. Even the jitneys
that couldn't get around in
the winter time are now
taking advantage Of the
bright summer days.
But the street cars go on
and must go on.

Your first elements entered the
trenches in Lorraine on February
21st. You served on that front
for 10 days. You were the first
American division to hold a d.
Nisional sector and when you left
the sector June 21st, you had
served continuously as division
in the trenches for longer time
than any other American division.
Although you entered the sector /!
without experience in actual war
fare, you so conducted yourselves
as to win the respect and affec ton
of the French veterans with |
whom you fought. Under gas
and bombardment, in raids, in
patrols, in the heat of hand to /,
hand combat and in the long dull !
hours Of trench routine so trying
to soldiers spirit, you bore
yourselves in a manner worthy
of the traditions Of our country.
You were withdrawn from Lor,

the Champagne front where dur
ing the critical days from July
14th to July 18th, you had the
honor of being the only American
division to fight in General Gou-,

made possible the offensive of

Great engineering genius, actively engaged for
the past two years in trying to improve this car,
has not been able to better it except in the matter
OF few mechanical refinements. So to-day the
distinguishing differences between the New
Series Marmon "a and the old are the santing
windshield and the wider seats and the deeper
sides.
AS far as men know, the Marmon represents
the final type: 1t has put stop to the annual
metamorphosis Of models-it has stabilized not
only construction but the buyers investment
This means that the owners of the Marmon of
this year last year or the year BEFORE are not put
to the extremity Of buying a new car each season
to be up to date.
And yet, the Marmon continues to attract the
Whole-hearted admiration of those who view it
either on the road or as at present, at the auto

and design from all other cars
For one thing, twas 100 pounds lighter. For
another, it eliminated more than 511 parts
aluminium was extensively used in the motor and

were rigid unit construction
To-day there are numbers of cars which Dor
der on the Marmon idea. There are more at this
show than there were the year BEFORE and there
will be more, in all likelihood, next season than
there are this
1T is not the Marmon that is changing: it is
practices OF the motor car industry More and
more are they conforming to the principles first
exemplified in Marmon construction.
The Marmon has not changed because it has
not had to. Because it has proved itself correct.

DRYING SAVES TIN

There are many advantages to he
gain by rehydrating fruits and veg
etables: Transportation costs are
saved, spoilage is reduced to mini
mum, the fresh flavor is largely re-
tanned and less packing material is
needed.
Right now the conservation of tin
is important; and the following fig
ures regarding the canning of peas
show what large quantities of this
metal may be saved as result of the
more extensive use of this method of
preservation: 100 pounds of green
peas will need 1913 cans when put up
in the ordinary manner. The same
amount of green peas when deny
drafted make 27H pounds. If packed
in tin containers of the same siz as
those used for ordinary canning they
would require only 81 cans.
This represents saving of rs per
cent. in tinplate, cases, and shipping
space, a conspicuous example of the
economy of taking water out of foods
that must be stored or shipped.
