ESSEX ENDURANCE IS
 PROVED BY RECORDS

Do hill climbs, races and economy tests mean anything to the purchaser of an automobile?
 An emphatic yes was the answer given to this question today by Cal Messner who pointed to recent achieve ments of the Essex as an illustration
 While very few persons buy a car because of it's ability to break the speed laws or climb mountains he declared, the qualities of endurance, depend- ability and reserve force which these feats demonstrate are of the utmost importance to every motor car buyer.
 Take the record the Essax estab- lished in the Rim World con- test at San Bernardino, California, when it climbed eight miles to an ele- vation of nearly 5000 feet in 19 minutes 1 seconds; or when another stock Es- sex covered the 110-mile course from Sacramento, California to Lake Tahoe l 3 minutes faster than the best previous record.
 Tn both these instances the punish ment given the Essex, which were stock cars in every respect, was greater than they would have received in three years of ordinary use in an owners hands. Therefore the records established are the best evidence possible of the endur- ance and stamina of the car itself and of it's ability to stand the gaff of the most severe task in ordinary service.
 Tn addition there is the record made by another stock Essex which was the first of twelve contestants to finish the 1919 endurance run from Stockton, Cal, to the Yosemite. This car made a perfect score finishing the trip within fifteen seconds of it's schedule time. This was not a speed run but was de- signed solely to show what an owner could expect from his car in actual ser vice in the way of reliability and in it's freedom from the necessity for adjust ments.
 Also there are the records estab- Iished by the Essex in a race around the Island of Oahu when this dangerous S5-mile course was covered in two hours and 42 minutes. or 19 minutes better than the best previous time; the official 115-mile test made in San Francisco where an Essex averaged 2a miles to the gallon of gasoline, and the run up Baxter street hill in Los Angeles which was surmounted q 2-5 seconds faster than it had ever been made be- fore.
 '.All of which is an indication of what can be accomplished in the proper de- sign of a moderate priced car of the highest quality

cities, are suffering because the un- raved parts lag. To correct social cleavage and excessive costs, we must pave the road beds of the tagging regions, and we must do it now. The financial loss due to operation of our rolling stock upon improper road beds is so great that it must not be per- mitted to continue.

PNEUMATIC TIRES ARE STANDARD EQUIPMENT
 IN NEW OLDs TRUCKS

It is a noticeable fact that the shou.s cf mule drivers and the creaking ot wagons are rot heard so often these days on the roads of Arizona and the small remaining number of the horse drawn wagons is continually growing smaller.
 The motor truck is the farm vehicle Of today. And while the farmers gre using more motor trucks for every hauling need from the farm to the city, il is observed that for speed ant economy, the pneumatic tire is fast re- piacing the solids.
 Fully foreseing this popularity of the pneumatic tire, the Olds motor works ircluded in the regular equipment af the Oldsmobile Economy truck. Good- year cord tires Of S5x5 size. The II action and cusbioning thus obtained las enabled the truck to hum along in gcod time ever slippery or rough roads where the solid-tifed truck would os necessity, be compelled to slow down.
 The Goodyear cord equipment is not, however, the only unusual equipment O. the Oldsmobile Economy truck, ex : piained Billy Ferguson. It has been the custom in days past to leave the extra equipment to the buyer to sup ply. Now. the modern fast truck is lot considered complete without such equipment as electric lights and igIition, drivers cab. and many other necessary features. These features ara all included in the Olds truck besides the Torbensol Internal gear drive, a deep channel frame and a powerful four cylinder, overhead-valve motor A feature of the truck is the fact that .he farmer or business man can buy this truck completely equipped with drivers cab, windshield and handsome express body or he can buy it with either a body equipped with stakes CT merely .he chassis alone. just as he prefers. He can thus apply tho particular style of body that will meet his business needs to the best require E,ents.

.DISCLOSES METHOD OF W.ATERPROOFING
 COIL BOX ON FORD

Ford owners sometimes fit water proof canvas covers over the dash of their machines to keep the coil boxes from wetting. A far better protection is practical and Mir. Thalheimer. head cf the electrical department of Motor Supply company will pass it on for the benefit of others.
 The four bolts which hold the coil box to the dash are looosened and re removed. Then the coil box is moved out from the dash about half an inch. Before replacing the four bolts, four ants are slipped between the flanges of the coil box and the dash and the bolts are placed through the nuts. If the regular bolts are too short use car riage bolts, about quarter inch lcnger.
 It is not necessary to loosen the wires or to remove the coil box from the dash. for the bolts can be removed one at a time, and replaced in the same order.
 This places the coil box about a quarter of an inch from the dash and water that may leak through will drip without soaking the coil box.

 hold the screws between the legs of a
 pair of calipers, a drawing compass or even in the slot of an ordinary steel pen. The screw is then driven home by the small screwdriver. The same method may he used in replacing small nuts located unnecessarily.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, July L)-The Tuscaloosa Board of Trade has under consideration a plan by which a big barbecue and welcome to returned sol diers will be held at Windhan, Springs sometime in August, as soon as crops are laid by. It will be a whale Of celebration. and all of the people in the northern end of the county are be- ing asked to cooperate in 1t. There will be a brass band and plenty of purveyors of chin music, vocal and po- litical and barbecue and Brunswick stew, to say nothing of plenty of water melons for everybody.
 The idea is to have great get together meeting of the citizens of the nortEer end of Tuscaloosa county, with those of the city and the rest Of the county, and at the same time start right then and there the subscription lists for stock and right of way for the Tuscaloosa Northern railroad, which the Board of Trade regards as the next big task for it to tackle. It Is believed that there will be response which will be entirely gratifying, as teh northern section of the county needs a railroad more than it needs anything else. It is region of won derfully rich resources. several veins of coal being located there, to say nothing of timber in great quantity, and fine farming and stock land.
 The idea of building that road. or getting it under way has taken firm hold of the Tuscaloosa business com munity and no time is going to be lost by the Board of Trade. The Tender son logging road, of standard guase, is constructed for IA miles in the direc-

Washington, July 31.-Onicials of the six railroad shop employees union and of the railroad administration expressed con fidence tonight that the strike of 45O,OC0 shopmen throughout the country, original ly set for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, had been averted by telegrams sent out to- day calling off the strike.

Jewell. acting president of the rail- way employees department of the Amer ican Federation of Labor and by Director General Hines, asked that the shopmen not strike pending settlement of theH demands for creation of national agree ment as to working conditions and very substantiaF' increase in wages.
 The telegram sent by Director Hines went to all regional directors, who 1a turn transmitted it to all divisional points for posting The message sent by MT Jewell emphasized especially that there be no strike. declaring that the success fuI termination of our (union represen- tatives) efforts depends on the united SUD- port of all men involved"
 Union officials said that while perhaps in a few instances members of the union would fail to heed the instructions not to strike. any walkout that might occur would last not more than a day or s9 and would he due merely to a misunder- standing of the instructions and the points at issue.
 The demands of the shopmen have been under considerati ton by the railroad ad- ministraton since July 2s and il was sali today that final action would soon hf taken.

 Timidly, yet eagerly she watched the workers and listened to the sermon. So these were the people she had heard so much about. The great Salvation Army workers, that was ready and willing to assist those needing assistance.
 A sob escaped her lips Captain Will Hams, with the vast understanding that comes only by personal contact, knew something was wrong.
 With a smile he approached Mrs P.oyed. ''Is there anything we can do for you. You appear to be in trouble" he said.
 For a moment the woman wavered. as if in doubt to tell her grief to others, then the feminism of her makeup as- serted itselfs and she told of the hus- band that died yesterday afternoon at the Hillman hospital Of the little farm sit uated near Asheville. How some two weeks all available property was mort gagged to bring the husband and father to the Hillman in order to have medl- cal attention.
 However. grim death asserted itself over the best of medical attention. And the husband died, leaving the grief stricken woman, without means of pro viding for his burial Even the last dol lar had been spent, and until the Sal vatjon Army assisted them, they had no means of providing shelter for the night
