Portable as a soldier could expect to
be. The system that the U. s. has
is great so we are able to get enough
of everything. We can buy things
cheaper here than at home so you see
that Uncle Sam is doing all within his

Sammie. The weather is fine here
but hot today.

good work that our army is doing.

you see that one doesn't have time to
feel blue. l suppose everything is at

are busy with your garden. Don't
work too hard. Tell Emma to take
good care of you. l have written to
Harry and Nora. When you write
give me all the news | hear that
there has been another draft since
June. America will soon resemble
France. Here you can not find one
able bodied man that isn't a soldier.

 Praises the Cadillac
New York Man Tells How Motor Cars Are Standing Up in War
 Service

c. l.. Grant writes the Cadillac Mo- tor Car company from Albany, N. Y, in praise of his experience with a Cad lilac eight in France Mir. Grant was one of the special commissioners from the state of New York to handle the votes of the soldiers and sailors abroad in the recent election
 Through the courtesy of General Pershing," he writes, q was given the use of Cadillac eight with a driver and mechanician, covering the entire American camps.
 We drove over 1T00 miles without the least bit of trouble; and even when I tell you that we were making from 200 to 300 miles a day, driving from early morning until far into the night, through fog and rain and withou, lights, you can get little idea of the hardships of the trip. There was real ly no need of the mechanician, though he served as an extra driver at times.
 At the headquarters garage, Cadil- laos predominate and officers are loud In praise of the manner in which they are standing up under the terrific driv- ing to which they are subjected
 large number of Cadillac cars were taken to France With the first contingent of the American forces; and many more have since been shipped. A fresh consignment of olive-drab ma : chimes is still leaving the Cadillac fac tory in Detroit every day, destined for service abroad.

LIBERTY SIX MAKES EXCELLENT RECORD Tour of Lower California Completed by Newspaper
 Party

A tour of investigation through the northern district of lower California undertaken by Mary White. writer, authoress and investigator, and her party was recently completed in five passenger Liberty Six, which had been purchased from the c. F. Nichols Motor company of San Diego.
 The party consisted of Mary White, who secured the information about 'Baja,' California, and whose remark able articles on that country have been widely read: w. B. Felix, driver; H. Bolanos, the official photographer of the government of lower California, and Walter Knox, who represented the progress and education committee in charge of the securing and compiling of data.
 The tour was made in the interest of the San Diego Tribune, and as they state, was prompted by a genral lack of knowledge in regard to that won- derfuly promising region, with it's ac tual and potential riches in live stock, agricultural yields, and the products of mining and other industries" The re- suits of the writer's observation and

inspection were featured in an ln- tersely interesting supplement of the Tribune, which contained not only a wealth of information about the ter- ritory traversed, but we'll deserved tribute to the Liberty Six in which the trip was made, as well.
 PERFORMANCE PRAISED
 The performance of the Liberty is thus described by the Tribune:
 At the finish no more enthusiastic party could be thought of than the Mary White group that had. gone through five days of intensely Varied country. A trip over the most varied of roadways, over boulevards through deep sands, over steep grades and un- der most trying conditions, had been made at high speed in the Liberty Six and was completed without accident or repair of any nature.
 "It would seem that the very motor of the Liberty had imbibed some of the enthusiasm itself, for during the entire trip not a miss was recorded nor was there any peculiar sound discovered that would cause driver to look for a little trouble.
 STOCK CAR USED
 "The car was in no manner specially prepared for the Baja California trip. On the other hand a regular stock Liberty Six touring car was loaded down with four passengers and eight personal and photograp phic grips and suitcases, and taking the bit in it's teeth, it dared venture into that ter ritory which is supposed to be the driving grounds of the biggest cars or of the very small ones
 During this great run of five days only one plncture and no other forms of trouble were encountered, and everybody who heard of the Liberty and it's work marveled at it's perform ance 1t certainly proved itself an ex- ceptionally able ear that mastered it's job we'll" The DeShazo Motor Car company are the local Liberty dis tributors.

ton of theft, and which is one of the best yet produced, Is called the "'masterlock." 1t is manufac- tured by the Masterlock company, of Chicago. The device is on the order of combination lock and no current is put in connection with the motor until the right buttons have been pressed, and in the right order. It is stated that with a combination requiring four buttons there is only one chance in over 150,000 of the thief hitting the right one, and that the odds are greatly increased when five buttons are employed. As the en- zine has to be cranked after each combination is used to determine whether or not it is the proper one, there is little likelihood of the would be thief starting the motor that many times in an eff fort to steal the car. The great est dread of the auto thief IS eorspicuousness A little extra pre- caution on the part of owners will make very material reduction in the number of stolen cars. Care less and "car-less" are becoming synonymous.

car He fguratively raked New York with a fine tooth comb in his search for it. He had almost given up the search and was about to make up his mind that his car had gone to that port of missing cars from which there is no returning.
 REPAIR SHOP" OPENED
 About that time cluster of barns on Harlem river attracted the atten- tion of their owner. A man had rented one for a friend who wanted to open up a repair shop Almost immediately the 'repairmen began to bring to the shop cars of various makes. The owner, although not an expert, soon noticed that the repairs were never completed; that, although many cars went in, none seemed to come out.
 One day the "repairmen" rent ed a horse and truck and spent 24 hours transferring machinery and other parts to their other shop Before long the owner de- cided that the men were doing entirely too much hauling and night work and told friend of his, who was a detective, about the matter. The men were arrested as they drove up with another stolen car. CAR BONEYARD UNCOVERED
 When the barn was opened a Veritable car boneyard was dis covered, the place being filled with the parts of many dismantled cars. Pistons, frames, springs, engines, wheels, steering columns, crank shafts, tires and, in fact, every part of a car was found to be placed in orderly stacks. There was one body, a passenger, and in one of the side pockets the detectives found a road map con- joining Hopfensacks name, clear ing up another of those puzZling mysteries for which the great me tropols has gained such renown
 Many plans are laid by the ever resourceful and cunning providers. Cars are daily found abandoned by the roadside after all of the removable material has been stripped from them.
 Besides being a menace to so- ciety, these last named thieves are also a menace to the public safe ty 4 car standing on a public road after dark with no lights burning is not easily distinguished by another car and wrecks result ing in loss of both car and lives are the logical results of this practice. The strict ordinances which many cities are now passing governing the purchasing and sale of junk will leave their stamp on this variety of theft. Without an outlet for their booty, very few tain the cars for their personal use and it is hoped that in the near future with the strict laws in er- feet over the entire country that the number of automobile thefts will witness a great decrease and finally be obliterated.

 "Ingenuity that is almost incon- ceivable is discovered in many of the plots to part from some unfortunates their prized motor cars. Locks and antitheft devices of every character have of late flooded the market, but either from the lack of thought of the owners, or the incompetence of the locks and devices to perform their intended duty, or from the seemingly unlimited resourcefulness of the thieves, thero still continues over the entire country the theft of many cars each day.

Seconds" Valuable

There are many standard makes of automobile tires that are absolutely reliab ble It has taken years to devel- or the organizations and perfect the methods that are responsible for modern automobile tires of the first class. The regular representatives of such people sell good tires and give purchaser his moneys worth. They also sell what are known as seconds tires which for one reason or another are not perfect according to factory standards. The blemish is generally only a surface one, some part of the tire perhaps having been caught in the mold causing slight rip. It is not perfect tire to look at, but it has the mileage in it and it can be purchased for less than the list price of the reg ular tire. The many concerns selling seconds are reliable because they tell you exactly what the tire Is when they sell 1t to you says Hugh Going, manager of the Atlas Tire company. This firm does probably the largest mail order business of any tire com cern ill the entire south. and at the same time has remarkable record of satisfaction and fair deals.
