KING AND QUEEN
MAKEPET Of GEN.
!. PERSHING'S SON

LONDON, July 21.-Little Warren
Pershing has lived. For life can hold
few greater thrills than those which
came to the soldierly ten-year-old
son Of BLACK Jack Pershing during
Saturdays great victory pageant in
which millions gave themselves over
to a delfrium of joy in commemora-
ton Of victory.
These things happened to Warren
Pershing:
The King slapped him on the back
IN chummy fashion as one soldier to
another.
The Queen patted him on the head
and called a photographer to snap
them together as they stood in the
royal box in the reviewing stand.
The great Marshal Foch shook his
hand as a fellow-soldier and then,
STOPPING, kissed him on each cheek,
the greeting to a comrade.
Queen Mother Alexandra, plain,
grandmotherly old lady, clasped the
motherIess American boy in her arms
and kissed him.
Ex-King Manuel Of Portugal and
the ex-Queen shook his hand and so
did the Prince of Wales, England's
future King.
And even that list does not give the
supreme thrill that Warren Pershing
enjoyed in a day OF super-thrills.
The greatest OF all came when Gen
eral Pershing, having finished his
part in the parade, dismounted and
walked to the royal box to take his
stand at the Kings side and watch
the others march by.
From his obscure place in the royal
box a little boy in a miniature uni
form of an American officer leaped
forward, dignity forgotten, and with
an impulsive cry of "Oh, Dad" threw
himself into the arms of his big sol
der father. Pershing swept him up
with a fatherly hug, kissed him and
then presented the youngster "all
around"

SnILA, British India. July 21.-The
Afghans resumed their attacks at
various points in the Khyber region

There were about 100 casualties

That Is Modern and Up-to

Realizing that with the changing re-
lations of capital and labor it's respon-
sibility to It's workmen does not end
at the pay envelope, the Mitchell Mo-
tors Company, Inc, of Racine, Wis
consin, is furthering many activities
tending to increase the comfort and
Well being of its employees.
Among other things. strictly first
class, modern cafeteria has been in
stalled in the workmen's rest room to
permit those who want them to obtain
hot breakfasts, lunches and dinners at
cost of production.
No appliance known to restaurateurs
for guarding against dirt or to in
crease efficiency in the preparation
and distribution of food has been omit
ted from the Mitchell cafeteria and ii
can we'll serve as a model, not only
for factory restaurants but public eat
ing places as well.
The food Is clean. nourishing and APP
petizing. A usual dinner consists of a
choice of meats, potatoes another veg
etable, desert and coffee or milk. All
bred, rolls and pastries are made on
the premises and, being like the kind
mother used to make" meet with
high favor.
That the cafeteria is greatly appre-
ciated by the men is proved by the fact
that it is taxed to its capacity at every
neal and enlarged facilities will have
TO be provided to take care of the in
crease in patronage. being developed
by the good food and fine service.
Prices cover only the cost of raw
materials and preparation of the food
as the investment in the equipment is
carried by the Mitchell Motors Com
pany, Inc. The cafeteria has developed
so much good will on the part of the
men, however, and is having sCch a
beneficial effect on shop morale that
the company feNs it a distinctly prof
ite BILE investment indeed.

AUTO MEN URGING
CONGRESS TO PASS
ANTI-THEFT BILLS

Concerted action directed toward
the abatement of automobile steailng
ard the Improvement Of highways Will
be taken by the national associations
representing owners, dealers and man
ufa cturers as the result Of a conference
held Sept. 9, at the offices OF the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce in New York City.
To curb car stealing they Will ask
for legislation in all states to protect
car users and will urge that the Dyer
bill be passed by congress making 1t
a felony to take a stolen car from one
state to another, punishable by i'm
prisonment of not less than two years
nor more than 10. In the direction of
obtaining better roads they will in
dorse the Townsend bill and encourage
everywhere permanent types of high
ways for motor vehicle use.
Another bill that will have their
support will be the Volstead bill, pro
hibition measure which, through the
efforts of the National Automobile
Dealers association, has been amend
eG so as to protect dealers who hold
mortgages on automobiles confiscated
fer carrying liquor.
The contemplated coordination OF
effort was brought about by the grow
ing insistence of automobile users ev-
erywhere for more uniform and ef-
fective legislation bearing on tIs need
mentioned. 1t was recognized by all
present that duplication of effort
could be avoided and the facts pre-
scented more clearly to the public
through cooperation than through in
dependent effort. 1t was also felt thai
in this manner legislators would be
supplied with basic information, which
they desire now, but which has not
been readily available in the past.

TIRES DIG FEATURE
|NAUT0M0B|LE RACE
Little Tire Trouble at Union
town, Pa, When Last Race
of Season Thrills Crowds
Goodyear Tires Stand Test,

Labor day saw the last big automo-
bile race of the season at Uniontown,
Pa. The season has been a remark
ably successful one from the racing
standpoint, and much interest was
shown in all the events, thousands of
people turning out at every course.
The close of the season at Uniontown
was no exception, and the big crowo
was given many thrills as the speed
sters tore around the track for over
two hours. Joe Boyer, driving a From
tenac. won this last race of the 1919
season. 1t was the first time this year
that he had won brackets. Roscoe
Sarles, in Philbrin, was second, while
Louis Chevrolet, driving Frontenac,
took third money. All three winners
were on Goodyear cords. and the time
was hours "a minutes 1868 seconds.
pace of 931a miles per hour.
There was very little tire trouble
among the winners, Sarles making n
mons stop run. Tommie Milton, hero o,
the other two Uniontown events earlier
in the season, had bad luck in the La
, Dor day race. His car caught fire near
the end of the contest and burned up,
Both Milton and his mechanic were
badly burned, but their injuries are not
dangerous.
Looking back over the seasons rae
Ing events 1t Is interesting to note that
every winner in the main events has
been on Goodyear cord tires. Cliff
Durant won the first big race at Santa
Monica, driving his Chevrolet special
on March IS, beating Eddie Hearne
lie Coco and Pullen. Roscoe Sarles
won first money at Los Angeles on
March 23, driving a Roamer. Tomm'e
Milton won the Uniontown event on
| May 10, in a Duesenberg.
The great race of the year, the 500
mile race at Indianapolis, on the day
after Decoration day. was won by How
ard Wilcox. in a Peugeot, beating al
the stars OF the track. including Ralph
| De Palma, the favorite. This race was
remarkable from the fact that, while
| it was run over a brick track. the tire
performance was unusual. Jules Guyo'
and Danny Hickey both went the entire
distance on Goodyear cords without q
tire change. Wilcox the winner, hao
| two Goodyears stand the pace for the
wheel race, as did Eddie Hearne, who
than one class.
At Sheepshead Bay on June IA, Ralpt
De Palma came into his own when he
won the big 50-mile race in his Pack
ard, at the rate of 1877 miles per hour
without a tire change. CASTOR Chew
rolet in a F'rontenac, at an average
speed of 1903 miles per hour, won the
100-mile event at Sheepshead Bay
track on the Fourth of July, and Tom
mie Milton again won at Uniontown or
July 49, in Duesenberg. All these
races we're won with Goodyear core
tires, and the performance of the
"shoes" has been one of the outstand-
ing points of the entire racing season
now at a close.

KEEP DIRT OUT OF GASOLINE

A simple but frequently forgotten
precaution in regard to filling the gas
oline tank is that the mouth of the
gasoline can should be carefully wiped
off before filling, to remove any dust
or dirt that may have lodged there.
Otherwise, in the absence of strain
err. the gasoline will carry the accu-
nlulated dust into the tank and later
there will be trouble with clogged
pipes or carburetor.

TOOL ARRANGEMENT

An admirable idea in the arrange
ment OF tools In the home garage is to
give each tool number, which is
painted on it. The same number is
painted on the walls or racks in the
place where the tool belongs. In this
way it is a simple matter to return
each tool to its proper place so that it
is ready when it is next needed

BUILDING BATTERY POSTS

1t is possible to build battery posts
that have worn down by slipping q

proper length over the old post and
then melting new post metal In by
the means of an acetylene torch. The
piece of pipe acts as cup to hold the
new metal as it is melted.

piston and so on down the line to the

inspection without detracting from the

TRUCK IS WRECKED
BUT TIRES SURVIVE
Pneumatics on Rear Wheels of
Vehicle Struck by Engine Co.
ing 60 Miles Hour at Hatford
Last Week.

"Toot toot, toot," shrieked the big
locomotive of the fast express "A second
before it hurled itself down upon the
motor truck stalled in its path
Two men on tie truck jumped and
ran to safety, but with a last wild
wall the big engine plowed into the
truck lifting it in to the air like a
straw. 1t turned over and over In the
air, performing many somersaults and
dives. and landed bottom side up many
feet away.
A TRUE HAPPENING.
This is not the recital of the details
of some imaginative press agents pipe
dream, but true and faithful sttae-
ment of an occurrence which has Sc
quel likely to prove of interest to every
motor truck owner who is wondering
whether big pneumatic truck tires are
strong enough to stand the heavy work
a motor truck tire is required to do.
For when the cloud of splinters and
dust had subsidized and the truck lay
twisted, broken ruin, four big Mob
by Cord truck tires reared themselves
uninjured above the tangled heap They
seemed to be waving triumphant
declaration that they were still alive
and kicking.
OTHER PARTS SMASHED.
The collision took place week ago
at Hartford. The engine stalled while
the truck was on the track, leaving
three feet of the rear end on the rails.
The tire on one of the rear wheels re-
cived the fun force of the blow when
the engine, going sixty miles an hour.
struck the truck. The steel and other
parts of the truck crumbled like dust
but the big Nobby Cord received the
crashing blow with no other injury
than a cut in the outer wall. The wheel
carrying the tire was badly shattered.
This particular tire had already trav-
elled HOPS miles, but in spite of its
age the body of the tire came through
unscathed.
In discussing the stamina shown by
the big pneumatics in this collision, the
United States Tire company says this
incident is only another demonstration
of the fact that the Nobby Cord Tire
is built so that it is practically free
from the danger OF blowouts and pune
lures. The many plies of cords make
1t almost impossible, even with the aid
of a hammer to drive a nail through
the carcass. This ability to stand
rough usage makes 1t possible to use
the tires over all kinds of roads and
for all purposes.
