- The Greatest Improvement
In Riding Comfort Since The Introduction
of Pneumatic Tires

HERE Is brand neW type of
Il Lear. 1t solves the problem
which has baffled automotive en-
eineers how to combine riding
comfort with light weight and
economy.
Our new Three-Poinf 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
land 4 combines the riding quail
tiles of large heavy, expensive, long
wheelbase cars, together with the
advantages and economy of small
light cars.
With 10O-inch wheelbase, Over
land A has the luxurious riding ease
Of 130-iach Sprinabase.

The exclusive, Three-Point Can
tilever Springs cushion the car so
that it rides well on all roads: they
reduce choppy rebounds and side
swayin9, protect the car from road
shocks and proIong its life, mini
mize twisting or rackin9 of frame
and body, enable the car to hold
the road better.
The car and passengers ride
smoothly as though floating, free
from road shocks that the springs
ward off.
But this neW riding comfort, pos
sible only with these Three-Point
Cantilever Springs, is but one of
the advantages of Overland A.
It's light weight makes possible
great economy of gasoline and tires.
High quality materials insure
durability. All vital parts of the

1T SPENT SO many happy
days with the workers in
the Wilson & Co. plant,
| Chicago. that I find myself
thinking about them very,
often-even to the point Of
waking up at 8 o'clock in the
morning, as I did just now.
and recalled what a worker
said to me one day after I
had commented on the habit
of the workers in smiling at
their tasks. This IS what he
said:
"oH. THIS IS A SMILE Or
EXAMINATION"
I said to myself, / am going to
get up and go to my den, where
/ have written most Of these let
tiers to you, and jot down a few
thoughts about this remark of
the smiling worlkmen. and these
are the things ! jotted down:
If $4,000 workers smile only
once an hour eight hours a day,
they smile 100000 smiles in a
working day. If each smile aver
ages three inches land ! think
this is the average distance between
engaged In smiling). they smile $780,
900 inches OF smiles In q day. or nearly
10 miles OF smiles.
Then the thought occurred to me
that You and I ought to feel mighty
good to know that Wilson & Co. food
products. which come to our table,
are better products because they are
prepared for us under the right kind
Of conditions. 49, fs%
Don't you think that we ought to
feel the greatest confidence In the |
food We eat when we think OF the fact |
that it comes to US accompanied by |
the smiles OF the men and women who
prepared It for us?
Don't forget that a smile Is a token |
OF contentment, and confidence, and /
faith, and integrity-four elements /
that you and I welcome in the pro- |
duction of the foods we eat.

WHY
Britishers Envied Teeth of
American Soldiers

We have had many tributes of adj
miration paid to our lighting men IN
recent months. Most of them have
been Of a military character. Here Is
one little out of the ordinary that
probably deserves as high place In
our appreciation as those of a more
martial nature. 1t concerns the home
ly theme of teeth. Says the London
Daily Mail: "One thing about the
American soldiers and sailors must
strike English people when they see
these gallant fighters. and that is the
soundness and general whiteness of
their teeth. 1t is all the more strlk-
ing in that it is such contrast TO the
teeth of the British people, We may
take just pride in this praise. because
there is no doubt whatever that we
deserve it, Brockton Times states.
We have probably been born with no
better teeth than our British brethren.
bur our teeth are Better simply be-
cause we have taken Intelligent and
laborious care of them. There Is still
plenty of room for improvement. how
ever. Any army medical examiner
will tell you that there is a shocking
amount of defective tooth trouble
among selective service men. Our dem
tai standards are high, hut we are not
yet living up to them

How ria cans Are saIvaaed.

The Providence Journal says per-
haps we shall not see. in the future,
vacant lots covered with rusty tin
cans. The conservationists are after
the householder whe throws away the
cans, and it may become regular
practice TO save them for reclamation.
The city of San jose. Cal, has made
a contract with San Francisco com.
pany to remove from 300 to 500 tons
of the refuse which has been &C.
cumulating at the incinerator plant
for months. and the cans will be taken
to San Francisco, melted down and
put back as new" metal into use. As
the junk is worth $50 ton. there is a
particular reason why other communi.
ties should look into the possibilities
of the plan.
