Editorial

A postage stamp is a wonder
. full animal. 1t has every
thing else gasping for breath
when it comes to tenacity. 1t
sticks to its job until finish
ed, nc difference how hard
the way.
Recently we held in our hand
an envelope which a stamp
had carried all over America
and half of Europe in an
effort to find the man whose
name was on the face of the
letter.
And when it couldn't find him
it brought the letter back to
Us with the explanation that
he had been discharged
from the service," and his
present address unknown and
unknowable.
Can't you imagine the trials
and troubles that little pur-
pie stamp had in trying to
do its duty? Yet it never
gave up.
There are a few human post
age STAMPS, but not nearly
enough. If there we're more

The government estimates that there
are fully $4,000 men In this country
who are unable to work at full ca

contracted in the line Of duty who
should be receiving this treatment. So

In Washington shows that a great mis-
apprehension exists among the dis

'Due to Understandings and mis-
apprehension q surprising number OF

the WHY'S Overland engineers attacked
the light weight and comfort problem,
convinced that a new type OF spring
must be devised. The three-point cam
tilcver spring suspension was the re-
suit and is the basic principle in the
now car which Overland will soon
offer. This principle admits of a short
wheel base. without which light weight
cannot be achieved, and at the same
time gives the new model a long rid
ing or spring base which produces
comfort.
