Something seemed to burst In Freds
brain and his throat felt parched and
his eyes filed. He turned to his desk
and frowned at the five nuggets.
"Of course you can," was all he
said.
The next day he took his nuggets
to the assayer and obtained slightly
more than enough to send his wife to
California.
I'll see that you get more from
time to time" he promised. "But, OF
course, you probably won't need it
with your job and everything"

FINISHFE BINDERS
 AT LOS ANGELES

The Los Angeles assembly plant assemblies and channels all the fend- CTS used for service requirements in Arizona and southern California. Be- sides the front and read lenders, the hoods, dust shields, running boards and small parts are anameled Cush- ion springs are manufactured and enameled at this plant for the front and rear cushion production of the entire Pacific coast.
 The lenders are shipped to Los Angeles in units of five parts from Detroit. They are assembled with the aid of special equipment and ma chinery. and. only four minutes are required to assemble a complete fender. After assembling they are prepared for enameling by sanding the surface and cleaning thoroughly, after which they are conveyed to the enameling department. The lenders or other parts to be enameled are then dipped in large vats, and hung on racks to dlip, and after properly dripping, they are run in to the cleo tric ovens where they are baked at a temperature of 400 degrees Only the highest grade enamel will withstand this heat.
 The electric ovens used at the Los AhSeies Drancn are the largest of thelr type in that city. consisting of two units each having a capacity of l,z0O lenders per eight-ho day. It requires approximately one and one fourth hours to bake the material. All parts receive two coats of enamel. After the material is properly baked, the heat is turned off and the parts cool down before being taken from oven. Final inspection follows and they are then placed in stock.

number of librarians in the country today who will tell you that the auto mopile is helping them introduce traces of culture into communities that would otherwise fail to develop an appetite for books for years to come These librarians are taking their books to the farms-by auto moD1ie They are introducing the motorized library, and the success which has attended their efforts in- dlcates that it Is one of the certain American institutions of the future.
 Particular success with the motor lzed library is found in the case of Noblesville, Ind, city of about 5000 situated about 20 miles north of h. annapolis. In an exceedingly inter esting article describing the methods and results employed in delivering the library to the farmers door. Miss Lula M. Miesse, Noblesville's libra rian, says:
 We tried both adult and Juvenile stations in school houses and homes and found the adult section was not well patronized. The country schools are open only five days a week and only six months year. So the house to house plan of service was deter mined upon. We visited some other cities, where library autos were in use, and after looking over various chassis and trucks, we decided upon a Dodge Brothers business car. In the first place it did not need a~great deal of eremodeling for our purpose. It was strongly built and highly rec commended by people who were using it, for durability under hard service. which we knew our car must receive.
 The seats were already comfort able. We had the wire screens and the entire back removed. The steel sides were bent over seven inches and used for shelves in front of. She book cases. Inside the car we sbuilt our book cases of oak, with glass doors opening outward on both sides of the truck. so that it advertises its own wares as 1t travels over the country The shelves slant slightly back to hold the books away from the glass.
 Our territory is now laid in 16 runs, but we must add at least five to these in order to cover it. Some Of our trips are long. Number one, for instance, is 42 miles long and begins and ends 10 miles from Noblesville. We have driven our car through fresh gravel, mud and over ice AS we travel four days week we cannot wait for good roads. The work is very interesting and grows more so as the librarians and the people get bette racquainted. The demand for books has been so great that it has been almost impossible to satisfy both the city and the country, as we were not expecting and not well enough prepared for the voracious appetite for reading matter which we created.

In the presence of Mayor Couzens and of Detroit City railway commis- sioners, William B. Mayo, G. o. Ellis and a crowd of residents numbering well over a thousand, the new Pack ard trolley met its first trial several weeks a.5o, at location on the Harper Avenue street railway line where the special two-wire overhead had been installed.
 The results of the test, insofar as they will influence the actual placing type, have not@ yet been commented upon definitely by Detroit city of ficials. Mayor Couzens, however, has said, T do not wish to appear defi- nitely committed to this type of car, but from what I have seen this nor ming, I believe it can be used very successfully in conjunction with our municipal lines. and. with time, de- veioped to give adequate service in the downtown districts"
 The demonstration which has been given is the result of considerable thought on the part of Mayor Couz- ems, the Detroit City railway com mission, and Joseph $. Goodwin, general manager of the Detroit mu- nicipal lines. It represents. more over, a period of highly intensified development work at the hands of the. Packard Motor Car company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company.
 As a mechanical unit, the new troll ley is an ingenious combination of a Packard truck chassis with an elec- trically driven power plant. The mo- tive power is furnished by 5 h. D., 37 ampere, 500 volt motors, mounted in tandem by means of universal joint and connected by means of a second universal joint to the standard type truck differential drive in the rear axle. The motors are of the standard safety-car type. with their shafts extended at both ends so that the universal joints may be readily attached. Both of the motors are interchangeable and are protected against thrust from the driving mech anism.
 Collection of the current is effected by the use of two No. 13 U. s. trolley bases, fitted with 18-foot poles, swivel harps and 6-inch wheels. The harps are provided with eyes on the swivel studs so that light pole with hook in the end can be used to turn the wheel and manipulate the trolley.
 The bus body is constructed in &C., cordance with the best practices pre- vailing in the car building industry. It is of single-deck type, and is equipped with special springs, ex- haust heaters, ventilators, electric lights, push buttons, and illuminated route signs.

COLLEGE RUNNERS FIND OVERLAND
 CLASS-A CHAMP

Old college traditions of the early days of intercollegiate sport when the college athletes walked and begged rides for many miles that they might carry their college colors into the arena of sports, has no more stirring tale than that of five Uni versity of Illinois boys who have just returned to the university campus at Champaign, H.. after a trip to Natio nal Amateur Athletic Unions games at Pasadena, Cal.
 With funds in the College Ath- letic associations funds low, mem bers of the Illinois four mile relay team determined that they would carry the orange and blue into the track games to be held at Pasadena on July last. They ran in the games at Chicago university on July IS and planned to start the next day for the coast in a new Overland loaned them by A. c. Barber, sales manager of Willys- Overland com pany and an enthusiastic booster for the Illinois institution.
 But while they had won their title of champions of the east at Phila- delpf ia earlier in the season, fortune was not with them in the Chicago games, for the star of the team turned his ankle and other conditions arose which disrupted the plans for the trip.
 Dave Brown, one of the members of the team. refused to accept de- feat, however, and with substitute members of the relay squad went ahead with plans which resulted in the boys starting for Pasadena by Overland from Champaign on June goth.
 They carried tents and camping

is furnished by a two-wire trolley circuit, through a two-pole trolley which permits marked freedom in turning to the right and left accord ing to the demands of traffic. Com pldte turns are made with equal freedom and facility.
 Simplicity of control and operation is highly perfected. The application of power and the braking are both accomplished by foot controls. thus leaving the operators hands free for driving and for opening and closing the door. The bus is made to run at two speeds, the first about Is miles an hour and the second about 25. The power can be varied quickly and positively through the use of the foot controls.

MOTOR LIBRARY
 HELPS FARMERS

Not so many years ago you heard the argument that the automobile was destined to monopoiize peoples time, that they would have no more leisure hours for reading and that the nation would consequently degenerate below its present standard of culture.
 Since then, of course, it has been proved pretty definitely that exactly the reverse is true The automobile saves such an enormous amount of time that people have more oppor- tunity than ever to read. There is no danger that the motor car and culture will ever conflict.
 As matter of fact, there are a

P1ckard,S TrucRleSS Trolley Bus Tested
 By City Of Detroit

DETROIT, Oct. 8. - (Special) = Through the combined efforts of the Detroit City Railway commission. the Packard Motor Car Company and the Westinghouse Electric & Manufac- turing company, another valuable contribution has been made to the study of passenger bus operation. This new development is an inn proved, electrically driven, trackless trolley capable of hauling a minimum of 30 passengers and of attaining a speed of more than 25 miles an hour.
 The bus is A feet long, eight feet wide and weighs 11,500 pounds, which is considerably less than even the small one-man street cars which are operating in various parts of the country. Current for driving the bus

 In making the return trip the boys visited Yellowstone Park. and took in" the annual roundup at Boze- man, Mont.
 In the trip the Overland covered s.027 miles, the gasoline average for the entire trip being 20 miles to the gallon, with a gallon of oil to every 800 miles and with few changes of water. Fisk cord tires were used. the car returning on those with which it was equipped at the start with

the exception that the spare tire was used in the last 1000 miles.
 From start to finish the boys had no reason to worry over mechanical troubles The Overland played a part in pulling out of sand holes. or in otherwise aiding some 30 tourists who were in trouble and at all times went through on any route selected. An interesting feature of the trip was the fact that in the S.027 miles the boys lost only eight miles through losing their way.

 They reached Pasadena in ten days from the day they started, although they had stopped along the way to train at various tracks and to aid other tourists whose cars broke down under the difficulties of mountain and desert travel.

 They first went to Chicago, where they met the Lincoln highway and proceeded westward by way of Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake, Las Vegas, and thence to Pasadena. Their com ing had been heralded and through out the journey they found most ex- cellent service awaiting them at the
