 The remarkable freedom of the mo- tor from vibration is attained largely through the design of the crank shaft, which is the result of exhaustive study and experiment. There are seven main bearings mounted in a rigid, heavily ribbed. "barrel7 type crank, case. The special design of the shaft gives a maximum rigidity with the least pos sible inertia. and results in a "vibra- ton Joint so high that it will not be reached even in fast driving. The shaft is a single forging of highs grade heat treated steel. and weighs onlN 4S pounds.
 Rigid inspection in the factory makes it certain that the extreme deli cacy and accuracy in machining the parts of the engine which is prescribed will be carried out. More than 1OC processes in this engine have to be ac- curate to within a thousandth of an inch, and there are above 2,650 inspec- tions on tho engine alone. After it has been completed it is put through Q rigid test on the famous Sprague ly- namometer in which it Is actually gone over with a stethoscope like g doctors to make sure that there are no faint internal noises which indicate weaknesses that might make trouble after some thousands of miles.

Goodyear's Western
 SaIesrnen DriUe
 TlUo Million Miles
This is truly an age of marvels.

This is truly an age of marvels.
 Before the advent Of automobiles. travelling statesmen depended upon whatever means of transportation happened to be handy, and in the rural districts, often found their way from one town to another by livery rig, logging train, steamboat and occa- sionally by "shank's ponies"
 But now all this is change. Through the use of automobiles the knights of the road are now permitted to cover a much wider territory regularly with out former discomforts. Trips that formerly required three days are now accomplished easily in one.
 Just how extensively automobiles are aiding these men in making their territories, both urban and rural. is in dieated in the 190 performance of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of California, in it's field comprising the twelve western states.
 Figures for the fiscal year just closed show that Goodyear salesmen drove their cars the astounding total of 2,172,125 miles-equal to 65S trips from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or S6 jaunts around the world.
 Tn travelling up and down the coast and vending their way over the rugged mountain roads and lonely desert trails 25S cars saw 45,317 days of exacting service, the general average mileage | per day for each salesman amounting to fifty. Gasoline mileage averaged fourteen to the gallon.
 Accurate records are kept concern | ing the cost of operation of these cars | to determine the relation of this cosi to the general expense of selling tho companyts products. These records show a wide range of automobile oper- ation cost in various sections of the west.
 For instance, the records show tha it costs more than three times as mucl to operate a car in Montana, as it doe: 10 run one in southern California This of course, takes into consideration, tn, expenditure for gasoline, oil, tires, re pairs and depreciation.
 The Goodyear experience shows con clusively that automobile operation costs vary with the condition of tn roads, for in the Montana region wher total costs ran high, there are very fev roads worthy of the name. while in tn, California section, where costs ral comparatively low, is located one O the finest road systems in the country
 The argument for good roads, as de

duced from these records, is incontro- vertible. The Goodyear cars operate in practically every nook and corner of a section of western country embracing more than a million square miles, and in every region where the operation cost is high, the roads are poor.
 Too much praise and appreciation can not be given to the army of sales men traversing the mountains. valleys and deserts of the west, fighting tire lessly and successfully to keep theiI company's place as the largest manu- facturer and seller of tires in the West. in the face of hardships tbai would severely try less determined men.

Co tho gallon. according to the driver and the condition of the roads. that permits it 10 run 2.000 miles on a gal lon of oil, that gives it a tire mileage of from 15,OO0 to 25.000 miles to tire, that lets it operate at from 2 10 50 miles an hour on high gear. and that permits pickup of 25 miles inside 15 seconds
 The engine is remarkably clean look ing, and the design practically elimin- ates oil leakage. There is not a sin ele exposed moving part except the fan and belt. No accessory is driven through another. and every unit can be removed with the greatest ease.

Dear Uncle Jed: One morning thought I would go to ride before break fast. I went out to the garage to get my airplane when my friend next door said she was going out for ride too So we went together for ride of about 60 miles. On our way back We met many people going to work As we reached home We talked a long time about what our grandmothers said My friend said she was glad that they did not have great telephone wires and poles stuck up for them to bump into. She was very thankful to the man or woman who invented the wireless telephone I said that graTSmother and grandfather would never gt~ anywhere if they always go in automobiles and when they are in such hurry tire will blow out. We went in and had our breakfast, after which we went to work. I live in Boston but I work in Hartford. I call it a.nice ride, but grandmother and grandfather say that if they were going they would

 AWAKES.

--ear Uncle Jed: Baseball is my fav- orite sport. In playing baseball we start with the bases and lay them out. Next comes the players. For a real game we have nine on each side but we can play with two, three or four on each side.
 If there are two on each side it re- Quires two outs and two bases
 If three or more play it requires three out and four bases.
 To play the game we also need g ha- and aa ball, the gloves and masks are also important.
 The captain of the team furnishes the bats, balls, etc.
 When we start in playing and there are two teams the visiting team has first raps.
 In our school we have a team and the weakest side gets first raps. If the ball hits you. you can take your base, if you get four balls, you can take your base
 When you hit the ball run to all the bases.
 Which ever team gets the most runs wins.
 If you hit a ball and run to all the bases without stopping it's home run.
 A month ago there was a ball game down at the naval base between Paw tucket and the base. The base team got four runs and the Pawtucket nine got four runs, but fin. ally the base team made a good hit anc l won the game. I was glad they won for I favored that side. JAMES MCGEE, Age 10. Gales Ferry

Nearly everybody in Southwest Missouri eitAAr knows or has heard of the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a full half century has devoted his life and talent to Sunday school and or ganization work for the Society of Friends or Quakers.
 Uncle Parker" as he is more fa- miliarly known, came from fine old rugged Quaker stock, and there is not a better known or more highly re- spected citizen in that part of the state. In referring to his remarkable res toration to health by Tanlac, he said:
 About five years ago I suffered a general breakdown. My principal trouble was nervous indigestion. My appetite was very poor and my food seldom agreed with me, and I had to live on very restricted diet. I sui fered a great deal from headaches and dizzy spells; 1 had severe pains across the small of my back and was badly constipated most of the time. In fact, 1 was so weak and rundown I was not able to attend to my duties.
 This condition made me very nerv- ous and I could not sleep at night Frequently I would lie awake most all night and was in that condition more or less for five years. My physician said he could not do anything for ma

had some trouble to dispel the idea and was obliged to explain that the war mask was designed merely for protection against gases in the open air, where they could not possibly be otherwise than very much diluted. Such a mask would not be serviceable in a mine or other inclosed space where air contained high percentage of poison ous gas.
 Nevertheless, it was obvious that gas mask suitable for use by firemen by workers dealing with dangerous chemicals and by others needing simi- lar protection, was urgently demanded and so the bureau of mines, at its experimental laboratories in Pittsburgh set to work to produce the article re- quired,
 The mask is merely a filter, and it's wearer must breathe the air by which he is surrounded. Therefore it is not suitable for mine rescue work after fires or explosions, when oxygen in the i air underground is likely to be lacking But it is recommended for use by city | firemen, who are liable to encounter all kinds of deadly gases.

A School Composition
Gales Ferry

Dear Uncle Jed: I am writing you a composition that we made up in school out of a poem named The Skeleton in Armor.''
 Several years ago as some working men were digging for a road near Fall River, Mass, the skeleton of 2, man fully clad in arnor was discovered. Many people believed this to be the skeleton of an Indian, but investigation led other among them, Longfellow to think it was not that of an Indian but of Northern pirate. If this pirate were living he might tell us a story something like the following which we shall base upon Longfelo|'s poem, The Skeleton in Armor.
 When I was boy I lived on the shores of the Baltic Sea And often I
 1und my skates upon my feet, to skim 1T the haIf frozen Zee upon which
 ,er the hound dared not to walk. As 1 grow older sailed the seas as the pirates did
 One. night as told stories about the great pirates, a fair haired girl gazed lovingly upon me. l went to her father, Hildebrand. and asked for his daughters hand But he only scorned me.

 T had read about Tanlac and, as it had been very highly recommended to me, l decided to try it. 1 got a bottle and had taken only a few doses until I could notice a marked improvement in my condition. I noticed especially that was not troubled any more with sour stomach after eating, which was a great relief.
 T kept on taking Tanlac until fully regained my health. My appetite is splendid; I enjoy my meals and do not find it necessary now to take any laxative medicines of any kind I can sleep much better and am not nearly so nervous. T take great pleasure in recom- mending Tanlac to anyone who needs a good system builder, or who suffers with stomach trouble.
