Il Lear. 1t solves the problem
which has baffled automotive er-
eineers-how to combine riding
comfort with light weight and
economy.
Our new T1ree-POint Cantilever
Springs make this possible.
These are the first springs of
their kind and they are made of
chrome vanadium steel. They are
exclusive with Overland.
Because of these springs, Over

wheelbase cars, together with the
advantages and economy of small
light cars. y
With 100-inch wheelbase, Over

of 130-inch Springbase.

BETTER MILK FOR LONDON
Society Appeals for Funds to Carry on

misunderstanding the milk sup
ply of London with the cleaner and
more healthful milk compelled by law
in New York city, the National Clean
Milk society is appealing for funds to
carry on campaign for legal milk
betterment here.
The appeal says that while all New
York dairy herds must be free from
tubercuiar cattle, between s and 8 Ler
cent of the milk supplied in London
county contains living tubercle."
While Grade A milk in New York mnst
not contain more than 10000 bacteria
per cubic centimeter at any time be-
fore reaching the consumer, the av-
erage London sample contains not
less than 100000 bacteria per cubic
centimeter."
The society says, American milk is
bottled before it is shipped, and re-
marks that 'the conduct of the dairy
has become a science which is prac-
tically unknown in this country to
the trade. the public or any but an
extremely small number of public

U. S. FLYERS HIT TEN "sUBS"
Two Undersea Craft Sunk, DAM
aged by Them, Capt. Thomas c.
Craven Says.

Boston French records credit
United States naval flyers with having
damaged and possibly destroyed
twelve German submarines, according
to Capt. Thomas c, Craven, U. S. N,
commander of all the United States
naval aviation forces in France. who
returned on the U. S. s. Agamemnon.
His department, he said, took more
conservative view and conceded the
sinking of two and the damaging of
eight of the enemy craft.
Captain Craven described the rapid
growth of the United States naval air
forces in France from nine small sea-
planes TO a great fleet operating from
a port near Brest with more than 200
battle seaplanes of the best type. He
believed the patrol work of this fleet
was an important factor in the cur
tailment of enemy submarine successes
near the French coast.

AWARDED SIX CENTS DAMAGES
Undertaken for Not Waiting
for Him.

New York-Six cents damages was
awarded James Hewitt of Bayonne in
consideration of mental injuries re-
ceived at the hands of John H. Ed
ridge an undertaken of Woodhaven, l..
l., by jury in the Queens county
court, which tried an action by Hewitt
to recover $1,000 from the under
taker.
Hewitt alleges that his feelings were
injured and he was occasioned much
grief and distress because, through
the undertaker's fault, he was not per-
mitted to witness the interment of his
-year-old daughter, who died in
the Jamaica hospital last November.
Eldridge was engaged to take the body
to New Jersey cemetery and to su-
perintend the interment.
Testimony showed that Hewitt ar
rived at the cemetery. after the hour
set for the burial. He declared he
was delayed by tieup on trolley
line. and thai Eldridge should have
spared his feelings by postponing the
ceremony until his arrival.
