Opinion is general that Mr. Bryan
is maneuvering for another try at the
presidency; that he will attend the
San Francisco convention, either as a
delegate or as an active outsider. and
attempt to put things in shape for
himself. Such being the case, it may
be well for Mr.. Bryan's foes no less
than for his friends to take into ac-
Mount somewhat the differences in the
man and the situation between an
earlier day and the present day
Consider the Bryan of 1896 and the
New York of that day. He regarded,
and characterized. New York as "the
enemy's country" as in fact it was
in so far as he and the things for
which he was then standing we're con-
cerned. When he paid the big town
visit in that campaign he was the
guest of Tammany Hall. with Richard
Croker at its head. AS was said at
the time, his appeal was to the low
brows. The highbrows of the political
and the business worlds would have
none of him. and on election day he
was showed under.
Last night Mr.. Bryan appeared at a
dinner in New York and spoke as the
guest of honor of the Society of Arts
and Sciences. He was heard with re
spect by a most distinguished com
pany. The POSTMASTER was James W.
Gerard, who helped Mr.. Bryan nomi-
nate Woodrow Wilson for President
in 1912, and subsequently was sent by

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHII4ANDER JOHNSON.

A Mistaken Identity.
There was a man they called the
"boss." His manner was exceed
ing cross. They felt complete
ly at loss
When menials met his glare.
The boy who whistled light and gay,
the sweet stenog, the clerk so
gray, would all curl up and fade
away,
Beneath his stony stare.
The great man never felt surprise;
his personality so wise he found
would quickly hypnotic
Where'er his glances dropped.
The lesser men observed his style, and
laughed with glee for quite
while when he vouchsafed
passing smile,
And when he scowled, they stopped,
He did not try to understand the awe
displayed on every hand to his
most trivial command.
He took things as they came.
But this much he could surely see;
the thoughtless one whose man
ner free might give offense was
sure to be
A loser at the game.
He never thought that in his face the
winter wolf they seemed I'd
trace with threats of danger to
the place
Than all the world more dear.
The Difference was not to him, but to
the shadow strange and grim
that makes the light of life
grow dim
When sorrow hovers near.

OWNER MAKES NEW
EFFICIENCY RECORD
Two California Trucks Cover
$50 Miles and Haul 70 Tons
for Five Shippers in Three
Successive Days.

What is believed to be a new record
In motor truck efficiency, considering
distance travelled, time taken and size
of load, according to information re-
ceived by the International Motor COM
pany, of New York, was recently made
by Lee 3. Hawkins of Moneta, CAL,
who operates fleet Of eight Mack
trucks.
A seed firm near Los Angeles wanted
to ship Is tons OF seed in particular
rush 20 another town 225 miles away.
No freight car was available, SO they
asked Hawkins IL he could make the
delivery in two days. He took the con-
sgnment. and with two of his Macks,
one carrying 10 tons and the other
five, started out for the town Of Call
exico the next morning. At night a
stop was made and the trip resumed
at dawn. Calexico was reached in 30
hours after the start.
Arrangements were then made to re-
eeive a return load of nearly Is tons
Of dried milk from Ell Centre. 10 miles
from CaleXico. This was delivered at
San Diego, a distance of 100 miles.
There Is tons Of fish were loaded on
and delivered in Los Angeles. $50 miles
moro.
Reaching home at Moneta at mid
night, one of tho trucks hooked onto
a trailer and the truck and trailer
delivered tn tons of tomatoes next
morning to a cannery 25 miles away
At a town nearby. 7ih tons of well
casing were taken on and delivered
that night at Elsinore. 100 miles away
over the mountains.
Compare this performance with what
would have been done by railroad
transportation. No more remarkable
example OF motor truck efficiency
could be asked for. There have been
many instances OF unusuel perform
ances OF trucks that have been staged
as stunts by dealers or manufacturers
but this Is a case where the owner
capitalized on the proved utility OF his
trucks IL shows what any other truck
owner can do II he solicits return loads
in persistent manner.

used. Other equipment includes ten
stationery one-cylihder engines, ten
auto. truck and tractor motors, and
three trucks. rr
Professor w. J. Gilmore, head of the
farm mechanics department of the col
lege, is in charge of the short courses,
with four assistants.
Farm power equipment. principally
tie tractor, win be studied I'm the three
months course, attention being given
to the selection. operation. care, adjus-
ment and repair Of these machines.
The latter half Of the course, Mr.. Gill
more says, will be devoted almost en-
tirely to repair work.
REPAIRING IN LONG COURSE
Men taking the one months course
will receive little instruction In repair
work. owing to lack of time, but will
get work on all the other phases OF
tractor and motor problems. A second
one months course is scheduled to be-
gin Feb. /. and a third March /.
In all these courses, including the three
months course, a fee of s. per month
is charged to cover actual cost of gas
oline and oil consumed.
Experts from the different tractor
companies visit the department from
time to time and give demonstrations
and answer questions regarding their
particular makes.
The machines which will be used
in the courses are lent by the different
companies and are of the following
makes: Case, Cleveland. Russell 1920.

EXAMPLE TO ALL STATES
What Ohio has done every other
state III the Union can do. OF course
it all takes time and a great deal of
effort and most important of all a real
desire to get things done on the part
of everyone concerned in any way with
automobiles. But it is worth while
Think how much farther the automo-
bile industry would have advanced
how much greater benefits everyone
would now derive from motor trans
portation had every state in the Union
taken as great an interest in things
automotive as the state OF Ohio has
There is food for thought in this for
everyone who owns an automobile and
perhaps even more food for thought
for such clubs as exist but nominally,
rather than as real forces for good.

HERSTLTE AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
Example Set by This Body Really Federation
Clubs Of Entire State Commended Other Community
Organisations Powerful Influence ON Legislation
Affecting Roads, Taxes and Oar Thefts

What may be effected for the COM
mon good OF motorists in any commun-
dty BY cooperation Is remarkably ex-
empltfied in the experience OF the Ohio
state Automobile association. An ex-
cellent summary of it's organization and
the way 1t works in touch with the
state legislative body and local asso-
Citations we find In one OF the factory
house organs.
the Ohio association, says this ar
ticle, represents practically every i'm
pOrtant district in the state and con-
sists OF s. local clubs bound together
In one statewide organization with one
definite aim, to continually create bet
ter conditions under which motor We
hicles of all types may be operated in
the state Of Ohio.
From this 1t Is not to be inferred
that the association acts from purely
selfish motives. Rather it is concerned
with the things that will initiate to
benefit everyone in the state by estab-
fishing the most amicable relations
possible among manufacturers, dealers
motorists and nom motorists.
OHIO LEADS IN CARS.
1t is without question largely due to
the automobile club activities that the
NATIONWIDE automobile registrations of
July ] show that the state of Ohio
leads the Union in the number of mo-
tor vehicles in use. Also that Ohio will
this year show an increase of approx
mately 100000 cars over last years rec
ord.
Out of interviews with several peo-
pie high in authority in Ohio's auto
mobile circles we learn that three rea-
sons are given why Ohio has forged
so well to the fore i'm the use of auto
mobiles. The first of these is road de-
velopment; the second fair. equitable
laws; the third the Ohio State Auto
mobile association.
OhiOs laws are worthy of some ex-
PLANTATION. Last year the state legis-
lature cast aside many of the old obso-
lete limitations which were survivals
of the day of "horseless carriages"
when any motor propelled vehicle was
considered menace to the established
horse transportation system as well as
to the life and limb of the pedestrian.
SPEED AND LIGHT LAWS -
In the first place a new law estab-
fishes statewide speed limits and
sends to the discard the many unfair
municipal and village ordinances that
constituted a constant source of annoy
ance to the touring motorist. Very
stringent laws have been enacted
against tampering with cars and
against -driving cars without the own
ers permission. Still another law pro-
vides for universal lighting. Horse
drawn vehicles as well as automobiles
must carry lights. These laws and 9TH
ers which have gone into effect have
practically eliminated the many name
technicslities that so often robbed mo
toring of Its pleasures and Just as often
initiated against efficient work on the
part Of trucks
The third reason for Ohios progress
is the Ohio State Automobile associa-
ton. In fact the preceding reasons

for Ohio's motor progress are In large
part attributable to the never ceasing
activities OF the association. "The state
association" to quote Fred H. Galley,
secretary. lis almost entirely leyis-
lative body.
CLUBS HAVE OWN FIELD
THE individual clubs maintain their
own headquarters. supply their men,
bers with touring. legal and other in
formation. They protect the members
In their Individual rights in using the
highways; they secure the improve
ment of city streets and country roads
and bridges In their own territory The
work OF the state association is con-
fined largely to securing the enact
ment OF the necessary legislation to
provide appropriations for road build
ing and laws directly affecting and
controlling the operation of motor ve-
hicles. 1t was for this purpose that
the association came into existence
nearly 20 years ago"
The association has invariably been
opposed to unfair and dangerous leg
islation. Thirty nine bills pending in
which Ohio motorists were directly in
tercsted were before the state assem-
bly, and it appears that q record of 100
per cent was achieved by the Ohio
State Automobile association in that
every bill favored by It was made law
and every bill that they opposed was
defeated.
FAIR PRINCIPLES
As an indication Of the interesting
and eminentiy fair principles that are
advocated by the association we enum-
crate the following typical examples
ID That the automobile interests of
Ohio go on record as favoring an equit-
nf he
cost of an adequate highway system
be met by fair taxation on all classes
of property. 1t is apparent that every
class of property benefits directly by
every highway improvement and that
there is therefore no reason for dis
eliminating against automobile own
ers in raising funds for such work. (2)
That the automobile clubs of the state
vigilantly guard against abuse of the
liberal existing statutes by doing
everything in their power to eliminate
the reckless operation OF motor We
hicles. (3) That there be established
an adequate system OF roads spanning
the state in every direction and con-

SINGLE LEVER SCHEME
ITO provide adequate illumination
and at the same time protect the vision
Of an approaching driver from glare
Cadillac engineers have devised a head
light which can be tilted at will. The
fitting is done by means OF a lever on
the steering column and a simple ar
rangement of rods leading to the
lamps.
The light. which normally is pro-
iected 800 feet, may be DETECTED SO that
it shines not more than rs feet ahead
Of the car. The roadway is thus in
tensely illuminated and the rays Of
light DETECTED from the eyes Of pass
ing drivers. Derangement Of the vision
because OF sudden dimming of light Is
entirely removed. The great advan-
tage of the Cadillac fitting headlight
is in the safety it provides. Clear vision
