Essex Shines in Big Stock Car Meet Held
 Last Month, Tucson

Sunday, April 11th, all attention was centered on the Tri-State Auto races at Tucson, Arizona, when some of the speediest cars of the border country were assembled for the An nual Classic Speed Event of that great southern region between Los Angeles and Fl Paso, Texas.
 A letter just received by Harold l.. Arnold. distributor of Essex cars in Southern California and Arizona, states that the Essex won first in the five mile Class A. A. A. event for cars of 230 cubic inches and under. another five mile whirlwind, also showed the Essex the winner by q big margin.
 The main event also fell to the Els sex. This was Class D A. A. A. nonstop free for all standing start.
 The Essex car was never headed in any one of the races, according to O. R. Maynard. MT. Arnold's repre- sentative.
 This victory of the Essex over all contenders in the borderland country will be hailed with enthusiasm by the twent" or mo"e l sex dealers .n the Arnoli territory T. Southern Califor- mia. More than one of those dealers is already figuring on the Essex as a strong contender in local events.
 "Jim" Canterbury of OXnard is es- pecially elated over the news because he says his Essex will make the same showing in it's contest with the com petitive car against which his Essex will race in an event to be pulled off at Oxnard in the near future.

1916 Fisk Tire Has
 That Years Air In It

Holding a quantity of 1916 atmos- phere successfully imprisoned within it's sidewalks, a Fisk plain tread auto mobile tire is still rolling over the roads of the Lone Star State, accord ing to Clayton, Texas dentist who happens to be the owner of the long lived casing.
 This tire has been in service under all kinds of road conditions and weath- CT. according to the owner, for a pe- riod of fl months. During this time the car has been driven more than 15.000 miles, and the Fisk tire has never been punctured or emptied in any way of the air load it took aboard four years ago.

NAVY BLUE POPULAR

Although such shades as peacock, electric and old blue are still very much in demand, navy blue is the most popular shade for gowns, suits, hats, parasols and veils.

Consider Your Gar, Says Krebs, Chev-
 rOlet Dealer Here

ITO get the maximum enjoyment and comfort from your car you must be thoughtful of it." says Ray B. Krebs. dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars.
 Do not race the motor unneceSsar- fly.
 Be warned by every abnormal noise. If it is squeak. locate it and lubricate the part. If caused by loose parts, To- cate them and tighten the bolts.
 Don't tinker. Half the ability to make an adjustment or repair is the ability to discover it's necessity.
 If all adjustments are carefully made when needed and every bearing and working part is we'll fabricated, smooth operation will be continuous with a minimum of attention.
 By neglecting details you may save time at the start. but you will make up for it in the long run.
 Do not maintain too high a speed in driving. The time saved will not offset the liability of accidents. nor the extra wear to which the car is sub jected. In the end the time saved this way is. d loss in dollars and cents.
 You will find that normal rate of travel will conserve the life of your car and give you the utmost return in economical service.
 'It is not the number of miles GOV cred in given time that counts most, but the number of miles of travel that can be obtained at the least cost for fuel. oil, tires and adjustments"

SOURCE OF ANEcDoTE

The word anecdote is derived from three Greek words meaning ''no' given out" In other worus, an anec- dote meant something not to be told, instead of the opposite meaning now current.

she had for that work. Then the Pan
ANA American liner General George
Goethals came up and re-enforced the
Alanthus. Chief Engineer w. II. Grace,
of the Goethals, brought over cold CHS
els, drills and hammers. This was
Thursday evening.
Tells Of Grace's Heroic Work
"Mr. Grace worked himself at breast
drills and chisels continuously for eight
hours through Thursday evening and
Friday morning, when hole large
enough to pass us through was finally
finished at 3 Friday morning. The most
exhausted men were passed through first
to the floating staging. and from there
taken aboard the Alanthus.
'The last man to leave the SIS made
sure that the door between the tiller
compartment and the motor room was
tight and secure, so that any water
that entered through the hole would be
confined to comparatively small space.
II was believed that at the time we left
the So the first two compartments were
flooded"
Asked Who was the last man" ia
leave the ship, Commander Cooke ad =
mitted that he was.
Next to my inexpressible admiration
and praise for every officer and man in
my crew" he went on, land my pride
in their courage and fortitude. my deep
est feelings are Of gratitude for the Of
ficers and crews Of the Alanthus and the
General Goethals. who so heroically and
tirelessly labored until our rescue was
an accomplished fact. The rest of the
story, ! believe. has been told"
Commander Cooke is still aboard the
nnnynr N.htph i0 Af 4,
standing by the So.
Naval officers expressed the opinion
today that the submarine could readily
be salvaged with special equipment az
ready ordered to the scene.
The boat is at the bottom at n depth
of $50 feet. with only n floating buoy
to indicate the spot.
The Ohio. from which the submarine
broke away when an attempt was be =
ing made to tow her to shallow water
Saturday, has returned to Hampton
Roads.
The S.5's brave crew, who arrived at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard at 9 % o.
clock Saturday night aboard the. de-
Stroyer Biddle are anxious to 20 to sea
in her again if she is raised. They have
Commupcated this request through
Commander Cooke to Washington.
After their thirty seven hour impris
onment in the chlorine gas-tilled craft
on the oceans floor, the thirty eight
members sf the crew here are in re-
markably good shape, considering their
terrible ordeal. Three of the men are
in the naval hospital. at the navy yard.
but their condition is not serious and
they are expected to be out by the end
of thee%eek.
