NEW YORK, July S.-Justice Crop
sey, in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn
yesterday granted a separation and
$50 monthly alimony to Mrs. Anna b.
Newbury from Charles f. Newbury,
deacon of the Bedford Heights Bap-
tist Church.
Newberry is sixty-hve. His wife
charged he was attentive to Mrs.
Isabella Griswold, sixty-four. a mem
ber of the church.
Justice Cropsey said he found no
basis for a charge of .indiscretion, but
held that Ncwbury's treatment of his
wife caused her mental anguish and
Impaired her health. He said:
"The appearance and manner of
the plaintiff (Mrs. Newbury on the
witness stand, was further evidence
of the fact that the action of the de-
fendant (Newbury) had cruelty
wounded her feeling and broken her
health, II not her spirit, and the re-
suit was, perhaps even harder to bear
because the parties had been married
for thirty-thrce years and both are
now approaching old age"

President Marshall issued this state

"T know Governor Cox. I know he

know him to be a fearless and cour-
ageous executive. When the storm
and stress OF the convention have
subsided, all loyal Democrats will say.

are safe in his hands"

with the demand of the average citi-
zen, so the Democrats have proved
that they are bankrupt OF solution
of the real problems that confront US
all.
The pronouncements OF both
parties on questions of cost of liv-
ing, transportation and other mat
ters directly affecting our common
happiness are so frivolous as to In
suit the intelligence OF the voters.
The country understands this and the
great bulk of the people will turn
hopefully to the new party that VIII
attempt an Intelligent solution of our
domestic difficulties.

BARNES-MOSSH HAVE
NOVEL DISPLAY At
IL centric BRANCH

The value of window display as a
business getter is rapidly becoming
apparent in the tire merchandising
world, as we'll as in other lines OF
business. Oftentimes a story that
could be told only in the employment
of many words, can be pressed home
by a simple, striking arrangement Of
products in a dealers window. Ex-
perts have proven that the dealers
window, if properly used. is a valu-
able factor in promoting sales.
A display which combines novelty
simplicity and strong appeal. is one
which has been designed and exhibited
in the windows of the Barnes Moss
company, tire dealers of Ell Centre.
These dealers have designed an ex-
ceedingly attractive window display by
tastily grouping around a Goodyear
tire the various kinds of vegetation
found in the desert wastes In fact
everything in the window came from
the desert, except the tire itself, anG
the cotton from which the body Of
the tire was built, was grown in the
Salt River valley on land that five
years ago was worthless desert.
The display contains several var.
ieties of cactus, sagebrush. mesquite
and grasses found on the desert, ant

TIRES PUNISHED
IN SPEED RACES


The unbelievable amount of punish
ment sustained by automobile tires in
speed races when wheels are revolv-
ing at the rate of 25 times second
when the car is making 100 miles an
hour is not appreciated by the aver
age racing fan:
A remarkable incident in the recent
Los Angeles race brings this point out
in striking manner. Art Klein was
leadig the field on the 183d mile, cleav-
ing the air at 104 miles an hour. Sud-
denly his right rear wheel collapsed,
the steel spokes being sheared off close
to the rim. Rearing wildly, the car
scrambled crafty about on the re-
mains of the wheel, but the fully in
flated Goodyear cord tire, perfectly
mounted, swept on down the track at
terrific speed in the direction the car
had been taking. When it finally came
to a stop, it was found uninjured.
This is the first time that such a
freak performance, demonstrating the
ruggedness of tires, has ever been wit
messed during race.

FOR MAXWELL ON

Car of ancient Vintage Found
In Panama Canal lone; NelC
addition to Plant Is Rapidly
Nearing Completion.

Touring in the tropics has not of
fered many allurements to motorists.
With the majority Of the roads mere
trails, the dwellers Of the Canal Zone
have not had much opportunity for
motoring but through the ingenuity
of United States army officers in
Panama they are now joy riding every
day.
A few months ago they discovered
one of the earliest makes Of Max
we'll motor cars. antedating the pres
ent models by some 300, 900 cars. When
they found that in spite of its years
and its sad lack Of beauty it could
still be driven, they overcame the lack
of roads by fitting it with flange
wheels.
That was the only alienation made.
No repairs were necessary, and now
this ancient model is in daily service
on inspection tours of the Canal Zone
and apparently will be for years to
come.
Although there are over 35O,O00 Of
them in daily service, the Maxwell
factory is inadequate to meet the de-
mand and Curly Brumbly has received
word from Detroit that work on the
new $10,0O0,OOO addition to the plant
is being rushed to completion.

learned how to master it. Mr.. Waugh
an states that in clearing off the vege-
tation for the plantations, many Of
them were killed, but that no, effort
was made to save the skins, except in
the case of three he had tanned to
bring to America as a memento of his
experiences in the wilds of the island.
He says, also that whenever the ma

the scampering of chattering mongeys

SETS A GRE A I
ENDURANCE MARK
Stock Car Running 24 Hours A
Day for SeUen Days, Estab-
Iished A Record at Indian
aHOlis. Travels 5,452 Miles.

Driven continuously for seven days
and seven nights, over ordinary SUBJ
urban roadways. an Overland A stock
car has established at Indianapolis,
Ind, new unofficial worlds mileage
record for light car under 168 hours
of incessant driving.
The Overland in the seven days
and nights of this remarkable endur-
ance run piled up a record of 5,452.15
miles. The car finished the grind on
the same Fisk tires with which it
started. To make this new record,
the drivers of Overland A maintained
an average speed of 32k miles an
hour, "a hours day. Gasoline mile
age was 2024 miles gallon.
The consistency of Overland per-
formance is shown in this tabulation
of each days run. The first day and
night the speedometer registered 749
miles. On the second day, the mark
was 779 miles; on the third, TAT miles;
on the fourth, 793 miles; fifth, 500;
sixth, 1923, and on the last lap of sthe
new unofficial worlds record, 753
miles.
The test, the first of it's kind to be
tried and actually accomplished by a
light car, started at a. m. on Feb
ruary 25th and ended at 8 a. m. on
March 3. The run was conducted by
the Gibson Company of Indianapolis,
distributors of Overland cars. The
mileage and gasoline records are GER
titled by the following observers:
Howard F. Wilcox, winner of the
1919 Indianapolis Speedway 500 mile
racing classic; Munroe E. Boblet, Sec
retary of the Hoosier Motor club of
tor of the Hoosier Motorist.
Although the new Overland with
Triplex springs had been tested $780,
900 miles under all possible weather
and road conditions before it was
placed on the market by the WHY'S
Overland company, the officials of the
company feel that the Indianapolis
endurance run is one of the most con-
vincing demonstrations yet made of
the reliable, economical performance
of the car and the road comfort quail
ties of the now famous Triplex spring
suspension.
Officials of the company witnessed
the start and the finish Of the seven
continuous days. run. Careful exam
ination of the car and its power plant
after the run convinced the Gibson
company that the car was ready to
repeat the endurance test of the 1853
hours of furious driving and largely
because the car had been protected by
the new Triplex springs. The run is
considered the highest possible veri-
fication Of the ability of this new
spring suspension to protect the car
from road wear and provide big car

Local Distributor of Popular
Car.

"To be practical automobiles must
be economical" says P. Willis, local
dealer in Chevrolet passenger and
commercial cars.
ut should cost an owner but very
little more to use his car than to use
public transportation utilities. W
"The superior convenience, comfort
and other advantages of an Individual
conveyance should all be extra mea-
sure in favor of automobiles.
'Tnis is proven by the fact that the
great majority of motorists buy in
expensive cars that are also inexpen-
sive to run.
"The demand today is for motors
built to make every bit of gasoline
cOunt-tO cut waste to minimum
pense in adjustments. 1t calls for
construction that substitutes sturdy
flexibility for expensive heavy mater
ials--even distribution of right weight.
There should be no excess strain to
wear out costly parts.
"The majority want cars that render
20 miles and more of transportation
for every gallon of gasoline con-
sumed.
"They want mileage to be CORES
pondingly economical. They want
this low operating cost to be a factor
that can be depended upon.
Moreover, purchasers are no longer
interested in automobiles that must
be equipped after they are bought.
Electric starters for instance are
necessary to modern motor efficiency.
They save time, labor and fuel. They
should be included in the purchase
price as part of the car. So should
all other equipment now recognized as
essential. 4gs
Gears that afford economical trans
portation-that are built and equipped
for this purpose-are real utilities and
