KODIAK SHOWN
 MOVIE FILMS
 OF MT. KATMAI

Professor Robert F. Griggs, director of Katmai expeditions for the National Geographic Society, exhibited free of charge, pictures taken of Mt. Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes to the people of Kodiak on May 8. In connection with the exhibition of these pictures thrown on the screen at the moving picture house, he de- livered his lecture on Mt. Katmai. This is the same lecture he delivered in Washington, D. c.
 A half hour before the doors were opened practically the entire popula- tion of the village of Kodiak, whites and natives thronged the street in front of the building. When the doors were opened the hall was filled to overflowing, both sitting and standing room, occupied within five minutes time.
 AS stated before, this was the same lecture delivered in the effete east, but delivered in Kodiak under quit diff frnt conditions. It, however, being one of the secrets of Dr. Griggs marvellous success in bringing out to the world the wonders from this most difficult and dangerous field of exploration, by patient labor under adverse condi- tions, he was not the least perturbed by the incessant coughing and sneez- ling of the native youngsters or when the gasoline engine baked and the lights went out.
 Ladies and Gentlemen" the doctor began, "The people of Kodiak have done so much for me that I am glad for this opportunlty"-her something happened to the engine and the room plunged into total darkness-"we will now wait for another opportunity" jov- ially remarked the doctor as he pro- ceeded to one corner of the room and sat down on a codfish barrel. In few minutes, however, the lights came on again and the doctor proceeded with the lecture.
 Fortunate indeed were those who hard this Illuminating and intensely interesting story of this Ninth Won der of the World, The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and had the actual photographs before them shown in the most delicate and exquisite colorings
 Dr. Griggs believes that this land of wonders may be made accessible to the travelling public, and it surely behooves the people of Alaska to CO., operate with him in every way to use this remarkable scenic asset to at tract people from all parts of the world to the territory.
 MT. Colb, the movie man of Grand Canyon fame, accompanies the party this year. The advance guard of the party under the direction of Lieuten- ant Heidelberg have already landed at the mouth of Katmai river, and an- other group of the party has landed at Naknek and will go in from the west side.
 'Dr. Griggs and Mr. Colb sailed on the Nimrod for Katmai bay, May 19. Mrs. Griggs is a woman of charming personality, and very devoted to her family of three bright children, the doctor and his work. The family will remain in Kodiak during the summer

DEMAND FOR LIBERTY CARS.
New Closed Models Are Making
Big HIT.

Apparently the Liberty Six factory
officials made no mistake in introducing
their fine line Of new Liberty closed cars
to New Yorkers first." said e. s. Par
fridge & Co., Inc, in the Circle build
ing. New York was ready for them the
first day they arrived and we have been
busy ever since taking orders. Now the
factory is working at extra high pressure
to keep pace with our demands.
New York always has been partial to
the Liberty closed models. One only has
to stand for few minutes at Fifth ave-
nue. and Forty-second street to establish
that fact. Popular as the models OF
other years were, they never were in de.
mand as the new cars are. Many i'm
provements have been Incorporated in the
cars now on display"
The smooth running power plant and
the easy operating gear set have not
been changed, but additions have been
made to the body appointments and
equipment that apparently leave moth
ing to be desired for the comfort and
convenience of both owners and drivers
ut is really astonishing how many well
known New Workers who use large car;
for the touring season have purchased
Liberty closed models for winter us
because of their compactness and ease OF

FOOTBALL SHOES
GIVE TREAD DESIGN
Old Gridiron Star Develops
Ajax Cord Pattern From
Football Relics.

An interesting story OF the develop
ment OF the tread design Of the Ajax
cord tire was related recently by Hor-
ace De1.lsser, president Of the Ajax Rub
ber Company, Inc. The tread of the
Ajax cord--known as the Ajax cleated
tread--has met with high favor among
tire users and Mr. DeLissers narrative
OF how Il was developed reveals some
OIL the reasons for its enthusiastic re-
ception.
Among certain treasured possessions
Of one of the Ajax engineer-designers
is worn and battered pair of football
shoes. In days gone by these "brogans'

their owner in many a memorable col
lege gridlron contest. This Ajax engi-
neer-designer some years ago was among
the foremost football stars Of his time
His line plunging ability, his speed In
-kirting the ends and his exceptional
cleverness at lodging in an open fed
won him renown and caused him to be
talked about wherever football fans and
players gathered.
'sThis chap had worked for weeks on
design for the tread of the Ajax cord"
says Mr.. DeBisser. MANY patterns
were worked out but none quite met the
standard which we sought
And then one night at home the big
idea dawned. Out came the old foot
hall shoes and the former star got
busy.
You will notice in our advertising
that we compare the Ajax cleated tread
to the cleats on an athletes shoes
The comparison is made advisedly, for
the cleats on the Ajax cord are a
scientific application of the same prin-
ciple that has rrt the cleats on the foot.

Those cleahs make Il possible for th'

LEARN TO SIGNAL PROPERLY.
Every Driver should Know Rules
OF Road.


zone OF the things that many motor
lists have great difficulty In learning to
do properly Is turning corners" says
George Stowe, president of the Mitchell
Motor Car Company of New York.
ut Is difficult to coast around a cor
ner at low speed, and II high speed Is
used the car goes too fast. The novice
driver should practise going into secon
speed just before he reaches the corner
he Is to turn and then drive around at
slow speed.
Another detail every driver should
learn and practise is the matter of Sig
mailing. The law states that the driver
shall signal in some unmlstakable man
ner which way he is going to turn. The
left hand drive makes this easy. If the
operator is going to the left he should
hold his arm out in horizontal position.
This indicates to those back of him they
should not come up behind him on that
side. When making right turn the car
should be run close to the curb an1 the
signal given by waving the hand in a
small circle, with a forward swing, as II

going to turn the corner The come on
motion Is not prescribed by law, but has
become a custom Of the road
