RIGOROUS ROAD TEST

Popular Trucks Must Make

Factory.

Not so many years ago praetieslly
no reputable automobile manufacturer
considered machine ready for ship
ment unless it had proved its mettle in
an actual road test, - says G. E. HElvor-
sen of the Oldsmobile company of Ore
gon, who have recently taken on the
sale of the new 0ldsmobile Economy
Truck in addition to the regular pass
enger ear line. "But those days have
passed. Big production schedules have
eliminated the road test until now the
big automobile factory that practices
road testing is the exception rather than
the rule.
While superior standardized methods
no doubt make a road test essential less
essential than formerly, the fact still re-
mains that the best way to determine
that an automobile is all that it is sup
posed to be is to give ii road test.
And that is, put 1t out on the road anu
make it perform. For obvious reasons
this is particularly true Of trucks"

LUMBER

George S. Long. manager of
the Weyerhauser Timber Com
pany, has this to say regarding
the lumber situation: While
temporarily there may be more
on less of the unknown and con-
fusion about business affairs
until the war turmoil is settled,
yet in my judgment it will only
be a short time until the lum-
Der business will participate,
with all other kinds of business,
in the most active epoch in the
history of the lumber business
for the past SO years. In other
words, l believe the activities of
the world in the next 10 or Is
years are going to sulpass in a
business way and in a develop
ment way any similar period
within the memory of man."

LEARNING THRIFT

In issuing the so called baby
bonds" OF securities in denoni-
nations as low as $50 the United
States government advanced
thrift IN the United States by
leaps and bounds. In the years
gone by bonds were usually is
sued in the sum of $1,000 each
although a few were as low as
$500. Consequently the small
investor did not feel he could af-
ford to put that much money in
to bonds. In fact he considered
them as securities principally
for banks and large financiers
or strong money institutions.
But the United States govern
ment went further than to issue
bonds of small denominations.
Means were provided for the
payment of these bonds on the
installment plan. Many per-
sons found that they could save
money more easily than they
imagined was possible.
When the interest payments
fell due they discovered for the
first time in their lives that
money can actually be made to
work. They learned the accu-
mulative power of money that
is doing something aside from
being idle.
Liberty bonds and Victory
bonds are a things of the past
for the time being. But the war
savings and thrift stamps are
on the market and they afford
the best kind of an investment.
Each and every person should
make it a point to save some
money. There is no better
place to put money than with
the United States government.
And the big thing is that once
Uncle Sam has taught the citi-
zens of this nation the value of
thrift and economy they will be
ready to make investments in
securities like bonds, something
few Americans of small means
have done in the past.

San Juan, June Is, (By the Asso-

of tonics, perfumes and lotions
containing alcohol Insular traes-

Mr. Benedicto pointed out that it

alcohol for industrial purposes.

any individual could prepare a
formula, have it approved by the
treasury and health department and
sell it freely throughout the island.
Theoretically, these preparations
were not for internal consumption
and were harmful to the health, but
in practice had been found that
they were being drunk in alarming
quantities, he said. Their sale
could not be very we'll stopped as
they were permitted by law.
Before prohibition went into

"thc alcohol used for Industrial pur-

between 1000 and 5000 quarts a
month, whereas during last March
not less than $1,000 quarts were

been adopted to prevent the use OF

At first, he said, wood alcohol had

German Ships Had
Carried War Orders
More Than Five Years

London, June 2S.-The decision OF
the American shipping board to use
the Kronprincessin Cecilie, the great
German liners, in the South Ameri-
can trade recalls story which was
told by British officer at Mansion
House dinner a few evenings ago.
He was on board this vessel when it
made its last trip to this country, i'll
July, 1914. They were nearing Ply
mouth, the port of call, when
the commander received mysteri-
GUS wireless message, Herr Schmidt
has the Influenza" He could not
understand it and passed it on to the
passengers, thinking it was intended
for one of them. No one accepting
it, the commander wirelessed for
the message to be repeated. Back
came the words: Herr Schmidt has
the influenza"
Pondering deeply, the commander
went to his cabin and feverlshly
overhauled the private papers in his
safe, and found a sealed envelope
inscribed: ITO be opened on re-
ceipt of message, Herr Schmidt has
the influenza Inside he read:
1--WE are at war with England,
France and Russia. Secure ships
safety. Make for nearest neutral
port"
The envelope had been, as he
afterwards explained, in his safe for
five years. He was man of de-
cision. He turned the ship round
and. to the dismay of his passengers,
sailed back to New York.
