A duel took place Tuesday morning
at Thirteenth and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. between a Republic truck and
a Capital Traction car. much to the
chagrin of the latter.
1t seemed that the car attacked the
truck behind its back, so to speak,
and made one hilarious leap at the
truck. The three tonner stood patti
emily while the car started to. 60
"Over the Top" but stopped poised
IN midair on top of the rear wheel
OF the truck.
After considerable use Of language
and muscle. the car was dragged from
its lofty perch. badly damaged and
wiser. ."-..# ., d.
The truck. with a disdainful snort
of It's exhaust. continued its journey
as though such attacks were merely
trivial incident Of a days work.
Mr.. Archer, Of the Diamond T
truck, remarks pertinently that eff
the automobile car or truck were q
dead economic loss in every other
way except that 1t brought about bet
ter roads. 1t would still be the most
valuable invention since the railroad"
Whtle there was gloom in the base
ball world generally when IL was an
nounced that Napoleon JLajoie, veter-
an ball player and second baseman
extraordinary, had retired from the
game, the eventful news brought no
real regrets to the sales heads of the
Miller Rubber Company. Lajoie, when
not on the diamond. has been selling
Miller Uniform tires in Cleveland for
some time. 1t Is hoped that now he
can devote his whole time to the
tire business.
Mr.. Sobotka, agent for the Roamer-
Six, says that the Roaner was named

said Mr.. Hummer, Lexington dealer,
when asked about the influence the
war has had on the buying viewpoint.
1--WE have seen this change taking
place from the early days, but more
especially SO since war economies
have caused careful study Of auto

continued Mr.. Hummer, people
bought paint and body lines. They
never looked under the hood and
never wanted to. But now. people
are studying automobile values, and
the result Is that we may expect a

As many Canon City people seem to
be of the opinion that the time fixed
by the government for turning the
clocks back is October 1, 1t will be
interesting to know that the actual
date for making the change back to

last Sunday in October. which falls on
the 26th of the month this year.
This will mark the final operation
OF the daylight savings law. as the
