Of the fact that the btterest campaign

city will go dry next Tuesday.
The city has twenty-eight saloons,
hotels and cafes, and a brewery that

are carrying much paper for all of
these concerns.

CORNING, April 13.-The wholly
unexpected size of the registration Of
women voters (there are nearly 1000
more women registered than men in
the total registration of 1900, is in
terpreted as almost fully assuring a
triumph of the drys.
Yet leaders are unwilling to con-
cede defeat. The campaign on both
sides has been conducted largely by
newspaper advertising.

REQUEST
 INTERESTS AUTO MEN

Although General Pershing has asked for 1000 skilled automobile re- pair men, only 120 of these are speci- fled as tire vulcanizers and experts,' says A. G. Partridge, general sales manager of the Firestone Tire & Rub- Der company of Akron, Ohio.
 This small percentage,-only IT to the hundred-is a high tribute to the builders of modern passenger car and motor truck tires. It is proof that even the gruelling work of rushing munitions to the front line trenches, of literally flashing through barrage fire with load of wounded, of meet ing shell craters. devastated roads, wrecked bridges and the like as a. mat ter of course cannot make American made tires quit.
 And this is all the more note- worthy when one considers the high development of salvage in modern warfare. It is no longer case of off with the old on with the new when a tire, rifle, a hat, or even shoe- string is concerned. It is instead save everything you can
 These tire experts are being re- cruited to rejuvenate the thousands of tires worn out in the strenuous ser vice of the world war. I regard it as one of the highest tributes to Ameri- can manufacture and American ideals of quality that so few are demanded"

California's brilliant public women-is making weekend trips to the outlying cities in the Ginger Special" spread ing the gospel of patriotism and thrift broadcast throughout the land. In each town there is a local committee and It is the aim of the travellers to visit the various chairman and put pep and ginger into their workers.
 So far the car has exceeded the eX- pectations of those in charge of the great war savings drive.
 Thousands of Southern California people have been enlisted in the cause and steady flow of silver has been turned into Uncle Sam's commodious pockets. Everybody has begun to roll up his sleeves and, according to the pilot of the Studebaker thrift car, it will be but a short time before south- ern California's federal allotment of $25, 900, 900 will be raised

Earl Cooper one of the kings of the race tracks, who enjoy the distinction of being one of the most consistent winners in the racing game, has practically given up racing for the coming year on account of the deci- sion of the American Automobile asso- citation to sanction no races for the duration of the war. He will devote the greater part Of his time to an agency for Firestone tires in Sacra- mento. California.

age more acute than any the industry has experienced within the last sev- eral years" says Cal Messner, Colum- bia distributor.
 From the present indications it seems certain that by July 1st all stocks of the most popular cars will have been exhausted and that from that date on dealers and buyers will have to depend upon limited produc- tions to meet their wants.
 Because of war conditions a cur tailnent was made in the production

schedules of every manufacturer in the industry. No maker had planned. to produce as many cars this year as were built last year. But now even those greatly reduced schedules have been so interrupted by one influence or another that it will be impossible to make up what has been lost.
 -Four working days were taken out in Janaury because of the fuel holi- days. No factories are to operate Mondays during February Or March. That is equivalent to the loss of half a month. But it is not the only serious influence which is halting production.
 "The most serious condition from which there seems to be no escape is that resulting from freight embargoes. Embargoes are placed on shipments without notice and for indefinite periods. A dealer may feel that if he gives his factory instructions to ship him cars on some future definite date that his wants will be taken care of But before the date of shipment. an embargo may make it impossible Whole sections involving as much ter ritory as two or three states in a group have been embargoed against automo- bile shipments for weeks at time
 Tt means a serious situation for those who rely upon their being able to obtain cars when they may want them. There has been so much snow over the territory around Detroit, To- ledo, Flint and other automobile pro ducing centers that little relief has been possible through drive-aways from the factories. For a time dealers within five hundred miles of Detroit drove their cars overland. That has been impossible for the past four weeks. Little relief in this direction is seen in the near future, for when the snow begins to melt roads will be untravelable because of the mud

GINGER SPECIAL" |S NAME GIVEN BY
 SCOTCH COMEDIAN

T christen thee Ginger Special" said Harry Lauder as he smashed a bottle Of sparkling ginger ale, with fitting ceremonies, over the radiator cap of a new six-cylinder Studebaker touring car in Los Angeles recently. And the famous Scotch comedian, known the world over for his inimitable songs and stories, but saddened now through the loss of his first bairn" in the great war over there, could not hide the pleasure that was his in performing the rites on this occasion. For here was to be demonstration of another way the motor car can be a help in winning the War-and hasn't Lauder given up fame, fortune and his only son in doing his bit to accomplish this result?
 The Studebaker car, christened by the Scot and consecrated to the cause that is foremost in every loyal Ameri- cans heart was the gift of the Los Angeles Studebaker branch, to be used by the state committee on war savings and thrift stamps. It is a high pow cred, vividly hued. periodically deco rated machine and has already at tracted widespread attention on the coast.

LOON LAKE


A BOUT 25 miles northwest Of Spo-
n kane. Wash, lies Loon lake. It is
long, narrow stretch Of gray-biue
water edged by rocky heights which
tower high into the sky and are
guarded by rank upon rank Of sharply
pointed pine trees. Not infrequently
forest fires sweep these hills. and
thick white clouds Of smoke trace
paths over the mountains above Loon
lake. leaving black, dead spots be-
hind.
Loon lake is one Of the few noun
tain lakes that is attractive when the
weather is bad and rain is pouring
down Where most lakes look gloomy
and desolate, Loon lake merely as
sumes a charmingiy mysterious veil
The little rustic cottages perched
about the rocky shores send tiny
smoke feathers into the frowning
skies, which bespeak cosy hearth fires
in the living rooms inside. The harder
the raindrops dimple the surface OF
the lake, the more silver and CHEEKY
il appears. The gay young folk on
the rambling piazzas Of the one big
white hotel at the lake strum their
ukeleles and dance on to victrola rag
time records, and q few hardy ones
in bathing suits ride the ruffled
waters in tipsy canoes.
Right along one edge OF the lake
runs a rickety branch of a railroad.
and twice a day rocking trains whistle
their way around sharp curves to or
from the Canadian border towns and
Spokane
In sunny weather Loon lake Is as
charming as any other lake and a
very popular summer resort. but on a
rainy day II assumes an individuality
all its own.
The queer birds that gave the lake
its name are only infrequent visitors
nowadays.
