METHODS IF WORK !. DIFFERENT SINCE ADVENT IF AUTOS

Never in the history of Americas business and social world, as well as in the agricultural and suburban sec tions, have methods of work and con ditions of living been changed more rapidly than since the advent of the automobile.
 It's application has brought about new and quicker methods, making pos sible short cuts that result in great saving of time and increased eff ciency.
 To business and professional men, through the saving of time which the automobile makes possible, they are able to do more work in shorter time, and with a less expenditure of energy in other words, they are able to do two hours of work in practically the same period of time that it formerly took them to do one hours work The unlimited power of the auto mobile, it's f1exibility when uavers- ing crowded streets, enables owners to cover three blocks in the same space of that it user to take to cover one. This economy of time has in A great many instances, made possibh men having multitude of interestss due to doubling the number of minutes in their working hours.'

There was plenty of variety in the weather for the driV- ers-cloudy, fair warm, intensely hot, cold and rain. The roads were just as varied. However, these averages be- tween laps tell story of consistent performance that a few years ago would have been considered an incred- ible motor car performance:
 From Pittsburg. Pa, to Lima, Ohio, Overland averaged 2S.7 miles to a gal lon. To Cedar Rapids, Iowa, over sand. gravel and ordinary dirt roads the average was 30.4 to the gallon :. From North Platte, Neb.. to Cheyenne Wyo. a stretch that tests the heart and pluck of any car, the average was s. ? miles to the gallon. There were many miles of second speed work through heavy sand.

GIRLS STRONG FOR ATHLETlcs

Girls of the new Goodyear plant at Los Angeles go in strong for athletics cs a matter of healthful exercise and pIeasureable recreation, but do not confine the efforts of their Girls Club solely to self improvement, as is evil denced by their action in undertaking to provide all necessary funds for an operation to restore to health a little crippled girl, Margaret Johnson, so that she may run and play like other chil- dren of her age. Little Margaret is one of family of eight children whose widowed mother is heroically strug gling to provide a living for them by making canteen covers. The Goodyear Girls will also raise the money neces- sary for curative treatments following the operation.

 From this reclaimed desert-the gift of the Colorado river-the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of California is securing a large portion of it's long staple cotton for use in building tires. Cotton gins of suitable capacity have been erected in convenient parts of the valley. About s15,000 acres of long staple cotton are now under cultiva- ton, with the prospect of a greatly in creased acreage next season.

The present tripling of capital has been occasioned by the purchase of new lands to be placed under cultiva- ton soon, the erection of additional cotton gins and oil mills, and the financing of thousands of acres being cultivated by individual growers.
