COLE AERO-E|GHT MAKES "A MILES
 PER HOUR IN TEST
Remarkable Speed Range Shown in the New Model. Many Refinements
 Are Noticed

In a semiofficial test held by the of ficials of the Cole Motor Car company before ignition experts, one of the Aero Flight stock cars attained speech of "A miles an hour on the road These men expressed the greatest sat isfaction at the entire range of pes- formance The car was made to go through the entire gamut of it's possi- bilities for power and steady action at very low speeds. There was never falter at any period.
 The car was throttled down so that it was barely moving. Then the speed was increased until it attained the rather remarkable mark for any stock car of "A miles per hour. The entire performance was made in high gear.
 Many in the party seemed surprised at the wonderful showing made by this car both in high and low ranges of speed, but were assured by officials of the company that this was not at all ah unusual performance for the Aero Eight. In fact, they were told that any stock job taken from the factory, would show the same action.
 AnOlneT source or WOHueT tO tHSSS engineers was the total absence of noise, vibration or any labored acton as the throttle was suddenly thrown wide open, when the car was barely creeping along. Instantly there was q swift, steady response as though the whip had suddenly been applied to the Hanks of the thoroughbred, anxious to be away. but without seeming effort or consciousness of rumble or noise of any kind.
 The rapid acceleration of the Cole Aero Eight was also sounrce of in- terest as was it's fuel economy, which has been established consistently at from 12 to 14 miles per gallon.
 This wonderful motor action Is &C., counted for by the Cole Motor Car company heads by the fact that prac- tically the same chassis has been in use on Cole motor cars for the past four years. During this time it has been improved constantly and every adjustment and addition has resulted in a perfect mechanical unit. which is responsible for this, seemingly miracu- lous display of power and quiet ac- tion combined.

The Woman in Uniform

Margaret E.. Sangster, In the CnflS- tian Herald.
 The woman in uniform should be welcome sight--particularly to mothers who are worrying because their boys are far from home and the gentle in fluences of home.. To know that there are women with steadfast souls and loving hearts and kind hands near every firing line should bring comfort, ana a very real sort of comfort, ,to them And the women who wear the uniform of the United States govern ment are that sort of women--the sort who will inspire boys in far land to do their tasks well, and--most import ant of aIl--the sort who will keep alive the ideals of home and of chivaiTy- The woman in uniform is the one link that draws hearth fire near to a
 bleak battlefield.
 And so, when you see woman in uniform, know that she is doing big work in a worth while spirit. Don't think that the uniform is an affecta- ton; that she is playing at game that men are dying for; because she isn't. She is serving her country in the way her country most needs, and her uniform. like that of her brother in arms. is one of the marks of her service. .

Gnndyear Band

One of the prominent institutions which fills a large part in the social and recreative life of the 10000 eui- ployes of the Goodyear Tire and Rub Der company is the Goodyear band, With a choice of musicians from such a large number of employees it is not surprising that a first-class band has been developed Holly Rossman, a noted band leader, who has had a wide experience with musical organi- zations in many parts of the world, has been retained as leader of this band, and will assume charge shortly. It is the intention to make the Goodyear band a leader among big factory mu- sical organizations

for keeping cars in repair. It places such cars as the westcott in very enviable position, because the standard units entering into Westcott construc- ton are in themselves a guarantee of freedom from trouble. Furthermore. the Westcott always has been built with the idea of making it easy for the owner to keep his car in perfect order, even the tools being placed il. the door pocket where they can be checked up and kept ready for any minor adjustments.

HANDICAP SYSTEM USED

In starting the race the nanulcap sys-
 tenn was used. DePalma was placed on
 scratch and handcapS varying from Is
 to 90 seconds extended to the other driv- CTS, based on the speed of their cars. This method has beent found the most satisfactory in providing an equality of opportunity to all the competing drivers and will be followed in all of the big racing events of the season.
 The drivers finished in the following or der; Chevrolet, Mulford, Vail, Hickey Oldfield, Alley Milton Fetterman, De Palma and Mcbride. All of them bu. Oldfield and Fetterman drove on Good |ayeaI cord tires.
 In addition to the big event three- heat l0-mile race was run. Resta took the first heat and Chevrolet the sec ond. The three fastest cars in these two heats qualified for the third heat, which was captured by Resta in spectacular fiEish at 109 miles an hour.

12O MILES PER HOUR

A new track record was established by Ralph DePalna in a special exhibition lap, his time for the two miles being minute 2-5 seconds, an average of ll6 miles an hour, three miles better than Resta's former recoru. This was not the fastest time of the day, however, for in the big 100-mile race DePalma recled off several intermediate laps at the rate of 20 miles an hour.
 \The terrific pace set in the afternoon s events is indicated in the condition of the track after the close. In places It had the appearance of having been sprinkled with kindling wood. torn from the track by the flying cars. At times a swirl of spinters would follow Tn the suction of the cars as they stormed by the grandstand At the finish Of the race the radiators of several cars were almost covered with food splinters that had been sucked from the air by the fans.
 The next automobile race is scheduled at Cincinnati on July 4.

THE .ODIOUS COMPARISON

Most comparisons are said 10 be
odious, but that depends largely on
the viewpoint. Anyhow here is
quotation from western newspaper
OF twenty-five years ago, which some
body has taken the pains TO dig up;

rates and made a reduction which for

AS II" 'BASTlLE DAY

IN most of the American cities
plans have been laid TO join the
French people in the celebration OF
their INDEPENDENCE Day. the fall or
the Bastile. on Sunday next. July a.
by way OF reciprocattng the hlgh
compliment France paid Us in making
the Fourth Of July" an occasion or
great rejoicing with US on that occa'
sion. The fall Of the Bastlle was an
incident Of moment to all free peo
pies, and practically dated the birth
of French freedom OF tyranny. The
Bsstile was considered as impreg'
nable as fortress. and it was until
the might of an aroused and. OPP
pressed people was hurled against the
nrison. when its walls crumbled be-
fore their onslaught.
To-day the military autocracy o.
Germany represents the modern BasF
tile which it would enforce upon the
world, a power that considers itself
as impregnable as the old French
prison. We can we'll join France IN
celebrating the victory over the old
menace. and acclaim our part in conf
batting the Prussian aim that would
again imprison liberty. No provision
has been made in Wheeling for a pub
liz celebration OF the French Four h
OF July" but We can as individuals
show our appreciation of the French
compliment and join those brave PEG
pie in the spirit OF the day By dis
playing the TrI-Color on Sunday next
for we are allies and brothers all IN
this conflict against the Hun.

TO TRADE INTERESTS

That Germany is alive TO the main
chance for trade when the war closes
is evidenced by the recent forma-
ton OF the Deutshe Cebersea Synd'-
cat at Hamburg. the most important
organization which has been formed
10 promote the postwar trade OF that
country in the face OF the economic
policy Of the Allied nations. While
this enterprise will have a capital -
only $3.50. 900, figuring the mark at
the normal exchange, il has the sup
port OF all that is powerful and great
in the foreign trade and foreign affairs
of Germany generally.
The primary purpose of the syndi-
cate seems to be not so much to en-
gag, directly in business itself as to
form an organization which can treat
and lead all German efforts with re-
gard TO foreign industry and trade.
II is the idea that all German firms
abroad will apply to the syndicate
when in need OF help or important
information. But in addition 10 be
ing interested in these other enter
prises. taking over and continuing
foreign businesses already established
by German merchants. and financing
German business enterprises OF all
kinds In foreign countries. the sInd1-
cate will. wherever advisable, engage
in business itself.
1t will be its purpose. either of it.
self or through subsidiaries. to build
and operate railroads. street railways
and other means OF transportation;
10 construct irrigation, hacbor and
electric plants. to build factories OF
all kinds, and to exploit ore deposits,
AGRICULTURAL lands. etc. II will be the
purpose of the syndicate 10 make the
German houses already established
abroad the local representatives. es-
tablishing its own branches or sub
salaries only where there is no sat
isractory German representation.

TOO EXTRAVAGANT.

During the consideration Of the bill
nroyidjny for the new census Repre-
sentative James W. Good Of Iowa at
;prnpted 10 secure an amendment
that would keep down 10 some rea-
sonable figure the compensation that
will be paid the census supervisors.
As the bill reads they will receive
q salary Of $500. plus 81 additional
for every thousand names enumer-
a,ed. IL is shown that IN Massachu-
sets, for instance, where the State
census makes it unnecessary TO have
more than one supervisor, that Off
cial would get $4,000 in addition 10
his fixed compensation.
In many big cities. each Of which
will have supervisor. the added
fees will amount To large figures. and
will AFFORD very attractive positions
in which to place deserving Demo
Gratis. Mr.. Good thought that a max
Imum limit Of $500 should be
placed on the supervisors salaries.
but his suggestion was promptly
turned down by the Democratic ma
iority in the House. In the meantime
the public is expected TO skimp and
ecunonim-and pay the bills.

SOME SUGGESTIVE FIGURES

The Department of Commerce, one
of the best little old advertisers Of
itself extant. boasts that American
foreign trade reached its highest
point in May this year. during which
period the exports totaled 1852 BOO
while imports mounted TO 1923 .0oO.-
600, an increase Of s+4.00o.000. This
is the highest monthly total for i'm
ports and the fourth highest for ok
ports In the history OF our foreign
trade" The figures then go on 10
show that for thu II months OF the
fiscal year ended with May exports
totaled s5,445. 000.000. a drop OF $2I2.-
O0O. 900. compared with similar period
for 1917, while imports totaled s2.6S6,-
DOC. 900, an increase of 1893. 100000,
compared with the 1917 period.
While the Ways am; Means Com
mittee is engaged in conbing the
country for revenues for the next war
revenue bill it might we'll take these
facts into consideration: First. the
imports for the month Of May paid
tariff revenue Of bur Sl9926.Q 900. or
SIT per cent as the ad valorem aver
age on all imports for that month.
For the II months customs revenues
OF 1852. 100000 were realized. or about
s per cent ad valorem over the whole
period. This is practically free trade.
and the situatio9 gets worse as time
goes on. For example. this third oh
g. billion increase In imports over the
1877 period. realized S45.0O0.000 less
revenue than was realized for the
1917 period. when the ports paid into
the Treasury so07. $4,000. or an
average ad valorem rate for that
period OF SIS per cent. BY way OF
contrast let it be said that for the
II mouths ended May. 1913. under
Republican protective rates Of duty.
imports totaled s1.6S2. 900. 900. which
