 COLE AERO EIGHT
"Howdy" Wilcox Buys His
 Favorite in a Special xI.3 Model

Among the latest additions to the long list of prominent owners of Cole Aero Eight motor cars is Howard (Howdy) Wilcox, of Indianapolis, win ner of the 500-mile race held at the Indianapolis speedway, May 31.
 One of the greatest drivers of high powered cars in the world, Wilcox has been a thorough student of motors and motor cars mechanisms for almost fif- teen years and his determination to possess an Aero Eight for his personal use is significant tribute to the car.
 Howard Wilcox's record on the track IS perhaps unequaled by that of any other race driver, and although just thirty years old, has been entered in more big events in this country than perhaps any other. His victories in- crude contests of all types and among ms notable achievements are the estab- iishment of the worlds record in the one-mfle straightaway, a first and second in the famous Grand Prix. a se

EDWARDS TALKS OF
 STEERING AUTOS
Says Confidence Is Achieved Through Perfection, Not
 Knowledge

Steering an automobile is not a diff
 foult task" says Sterling Edwards, local
 dealer in Chevrolet passenger cars and
 trucks. Perfection comes from confi- | dence, not from Knowledge. Within a 1 few minutes the novice will have learned
 just how much of movement on the
 steering wheel is required to turn a corner, pass other vehicles or obstruc- | tiCns.
 Turning the steering wheel to the left will cause the front wheels to turn in the same direction and the car will travel to the left. Turning the steering wheel to the right causes the car to travel to the right. This applies when backing up as well as when going forward. Proceed cautiously, preferably on a road that is little frequented and wide enough to give plenty of room for your first attempt at automobile driving
 fDon't forget that after turning cor ner the front wheels should be straight ened' up, otherwise you will run off the read.
 Always bring your car to a dead stop before attempting to back up. Fail ure to observe this may result in serious damage to the transmission and cause unnecessary expense. With the car at rest and the gear-shfting lever in neu- tral release the clutch by depressing the clutch pedal and move the gear-shifting lever forward into the left forward posi- tion. Now let the clutch pedal come back easily and at the same time accelerate the motor speed by opening the throttle slightly.
 Remember that in moving backward the same movement of the steering wheel will cause you to turn to the right or left as it would were you going forward
 Proceed cautiously, more accidents oc- cur when backing up than when going forward, as you cannot see clearly, so take your time, look around and make sure that you have your car under such control that a stop can be made in stantly."

ReneWs Attack Against
COMPTROLLER of Currency

Washington, July 10.-Renewing
his attack upon the fitness of John
Shelton Williams to succeed him
self as comptroller of the currency,
Frank ]. Hogan, of counsel of the
Riggs National bank of Washington,
asserted before the senate banking
and currency com'~ittee that Mr..
Williams was "an adept in the most
dangerous form of Justification, the
telling of half truths"
Hogan said he would show that
the comptroller had carried his per-
sonal animosity against officials of
the bank to the extent of issuing an
official statement charging them
with having borrowed more than S.
100000 of its funds for their per-
sonal use during a period of l8 years:
The fact that this total was reached
by adding up renewed notes, he said,
was carried in the comptroller's
statement only in an "inconspicu-
Gus" admission that some items
might have been renewals.

That the Grampian did not suffer
the fate of the Titanic, with consid-

Other witnesses were Cot. R. R.

Mr.. Ford's testimony dealt main

Ford Motor company. which was
put into the record over objections
of counsel for the plaintiff, to show,
Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson for
the Tribune said, = that the profit

"Nor any other military organiza-

A financial statement of the earn
ings of the company in 1914, was
identified by the witness. His testi-
mony showed that in 1908. the Ford
company started with $50,000 in cash
and Mr.. Ford's model of cheap

was founded, Mr.. Ford holding 81

Objects to Discussion.
Attorney Alfred Lucking, of coun-
sci for Ford, objected to discussion
of the financial statement as irrele-
want and Mr.. Stevenson replied:
"They have been making a great
deal of their -socalled education or
sociological program and the divi-
sion of profits. My purpose is to
show that on $4,000, the actual cap
ital invested, the company earned
$30,0O0,000 in 1914, and that there
fore to call what they give employees
