Hassler Factory Is
 Running Full Time

A few weeks ago when MT. Robert H. Hassler, president of Robert H :. Hassler, Inc, Indianapolis, predicted good business for this spring, some of his friends in other lines of business laughed at him. But he stuck to his guns, and now the laugh is on the other fellows.
 Starting with a rush early in the year the business of the Hassler or ganization has steadily grown bet ter April. was the biggest April in the history of the company, and one of the biggest of all months. The quota of sales for the year has been selling season has started.
 It is interestingsto note that the Hassler factory has for several weeks been opera ting night shift five nights each week. The first time in the history of the company
 There is every indicat tion that the year 1921 will be one of the ve-- h Sst. if not the best, in the history of the Hassfer Shock Absorber," said Mir Hassler. We need additional factory facilities. and will begin construction work on such an expansion immedi- ately.

"The present wholesome business Eeondition which we are finding in the motor ear industry leads me to be lieve there can be do doubt about the solidity of this industry. and that l its future is safe and sound in every l way for those manufacturers who are l striving for quality and real practical l value in their products"

"Cutout Goof" to Be Thing of Past
 Very Shortly

Tests recently completed by large motorcycle factory prove conclusively that from the standpoint of motor eff ficiency, there is no necessity of using a direct motor exhaust The use of the open muffler. particularly within the limits of cities, villages, etc, has gotten those indiscriminate users into bad repute with certain share of the public. The tests only once more substantiated the contention that un- der all normal conditions, there is no appreciable loss of power resulting from the muffling of the exhaust.
 It would appear to be the desire and object of all motorists to operate their machines as smoothly and quietly as they possibly could, and why certain percentage of them de- light in opening their cans and all lowing their motors to emit a deaf ening roar is beyond the comprehen- sion of the more thoughtful motorists.
 In the mind of the layman, the noise he invariably associates with the motorcycle, is the only objection to them he can mention. Whenever a motorcycle passes him on the street and a machine -gun-like sound reach es his ears, he is wont to judge all motorcycles by the performance of this one, when as matter of fact, is is not the motorcycle at all. but simply an inconsiderate rider who is at the helm. All present-day motor cycles have been developed to a de- gree of perfection where they run smoothly and quietly, and wherever they are seen to perform other~i-~ the operator is generally responsible It is hoped that through educational propa ganda and legislation. the open muffler goof,'' as he has been called, will soon be a thing of the past.

Larry Ouinlan Has
 Nifty Cat Story

Larry Quinlan has just received simple story of a simple looking cat that through some unknown means got boxed up in a Cadillac car that was being shipped from Detroit to Sydney, Australia, and is still alive and able to take nourishment. The story is Vouched for by C. C. Poole of the Cadillac company in Sydney, the officials of the oceanic Steamship company, and numerous cat special ists and customs officials in the Aus tralian city.
 Strange things are always happen ing to cats, but this apparently is one of the strangest stories heard in many a day. A Cadillac roadster arrived in sydney, February 9, after being five weeks on the way. Owing to GUS toms difficulty the case was not opened until March 4. Cars for ex- port are very securely packed and the cases bound with iron. When his particular case was opened the car was wheeled into the shop and the hood raised for a general servic- ing of the motor. To the amazement of the Cadillac mechanics, stretched out on top of the motor, between the two blocks of cylinders was large eat. It was in a comatose condition and had to be hfted out. It was a very sad looking tat, without much life The cat was immediately put in the hands of a veterinary and in less than a week had regained it's strength and was able to keep an eye open for rats.
 The theory of the automobile man is that. the cat lived during this long voyage on the oil paper which is placed around the motor. This paper covering had entirely disappeared. Just how the cat got under the hood will, of course. always remain a mys- tery.
 Walter Ramage, passenger agent on the Oceanic Steamship company, of San Francisco, has just received a letter from Poole stating that the Australian authorities had refused to let the cat remain in the country, and rather than chloroform it, Mir. and Mrs. Poole were bringing the cat with them on their annual spring trip to the Cadillac factory. They were due to arrive in San Francisco on the steamer Sonoma, May 16-

Stage Line Tn NeuU Mexrco SerUeS
 2I,OOO Sq. Miles

In the southeastern part of New Mexico is a section of desert and mountain country about 175 miles long and averaging 125 miles wide, bounded by parallel railroads run ming north and south. And between these two railroads there is not a mile of track to serve this 2l,0o0 square miles of territory.
 To get from Roswell, an important center on the Santa Fe. to Carrizozo. d mining center on the Fl Paso and Southwestern-a distance of 100 miles. requires a .339 mile railroad trip lasting 21 hours-12 hours of rid ing and hours of waiting at june tion points.
 But this wearisome railroad jour ney is now eliminated by the White Stage Line which operates four Ca dillac stage cars between these two important centers, making train con- nections on both railroads.
 An accurate running schedule is maintained despite the unfavorable desert and mountain roads. Traf- fife is extensive, averaging eight per sons Der trip. All four sta ges are running on Goodyear cord tires which are rendering economical ser vice under the most eXacting condi- tions.
 One tire is still in use after run ming 12.S00 miles on a right rear wheel Manager C. R. McNally keeps an accurate account of all tire mileage and expense and states that his present tire equipment is reduc- ing his operating expense several hundred dollars each month Twelve month service is being maintained

GOODYEAR PRICE REDUCTION |S CAUSE IF JOY

An announcement that was well ccmed by an army of 100000 west ern GET owners was that of the Good year Tire & Rubber company of Cali gcrnia. Los Angeles, concerning lower tire prices
 The reduction in prices applies to both fabric and cord tires and tubes. and was effective Monday May g, and ranges from 11ik to 20 per cent.
 sGccdyear tire and tube prices are now back to their 1913 level" says A. F. osterioh vice president and general manager. But a tire user today is getting fully twice as much service from tire as he obtained eight years ago for the same money.
 Eight years ago tires that would run 5000 miles were scarce, but now a 10000 mile performance excites little comment So based on mileage OUT tires cost only one-half as much as they did in 1913.
 Since that time wonderful changes have been made in tires. in fact, few commodities have kept pace with tires in Improvements.
 We sre pledging our customers that Goodyear quality is now greater than ever before and on that basis ere asking our dealers to go after business
 Having just finished the best month of our present fiscal year with or April business of S1.200.000, we are now squared away for even better bu<iress during the coming summer months
 ~Our dealers assure us that our posicfeS and product are right and by employing the same vigorous sales efforts that have brought our in crezstng volume of trade, we antici- pate no difficulty in maintaining our leadership in the west
 we have now increased our work srr force to 1850 persons and have reached a production of 2,500 tires and syo0 tuhes daily''

Rock bottom prices for Overland automobiles go into effect here on June l.
 This announcement was made yes terday by Overland Arizona company, local distributor of Wulys- Overland factory at Toledo, announcing sweep ing reduction to $695 on the Overland touring and s1S95 on the Willys- Knight touring, other reductions in proportion.
 Last September the price of the Overland was smasher from S1G35 to sS95. June l the price is again cut, this time from SS95 to $695, a sweep ing reduction of s200 more.
 The new price is S150 less than the lowest price for which this car was ever sold, and is made possible, ac- cording to John N. Willys. by the quantity sale of this popular car, mark, and by the anticipation of great savings in manufacturing cost through increased volume, and in creased factory efficiency.
 The new Overland prices compared with the old are as follows:
 Touring 695 formerly S95
 Roadster 695 formerly S95
 Coupe. 1000 formerly 1425
 Sedan. 1215 formerly 1475
 John N Willys, recently returned from a trip in which he visited more than 5000 Overland dealers, states: The public wants to buy automo- piles, but the buying public has hesi- tated in the hope that price cuts might be made. We have decided to anticipate every possible saving from material savings, and from the saw ings of volume production, and we are putting our prices at rock bottom June 1.
 We are going the whole route right now. The price is the low price which we have long anticipated we might some day reach on the Over land car, and the car itself is better than ever before. It shows an aver age gasoline mileage of better than 25 miles to the gallon. Its tire mile- age and it's mileage on oil is astonish- ing.
 At the present we will take loss on every Overland car we sell, but we fully expect to make this up through increased volume and in creased material savings.
 This gives the public the opportu- nifty to buy and use a modern, well designed, high grade automobile, at cost never before attained
 We have the organization to do this now as we never have had it be- fore, and there is absolutely no ques- ton in the minds of our dealers and distributors that the Overland car

 GOTHAM $ MESS

NEW YORK. May 21.-(SpecisD- Que of New York's perplexing traf- fife problems-clearing the theater district of playgoers after the show has been solved by Dr. John A. Har- riss, special deputy police commits sioner for traffic.
 By pr. Harriss' system, which has just gone into effect, it takes oniy 20 minutes to direct 150.000 theater- goers and 2.000 automobiles out of an area covering about one square mile, and enclosing 65 theaters.
 Just as. at his own expense. he guilt the Fifth avenue traffic towers and presented them to the city-a model for the rest of the country Dr. Harriss paid all the original ex- penses toward creating this new traffic system about Longacre square.
 Dr. Harriss started by creating a one way traffic system with certain safety valve streets for two wa, traffic. between in the evening and midnight. Even two of the main arteries of travel become one way roads between these hours.
 Then the traffic expert had sigma towers built over each theater en- trance, and created a checking sys- tenn. for the automobiles and theil occupants
 This resembles any theater or ho- tel checking system-so far. But, in this case, the chauffeur cannot park where he pleases. Instead he is di- rected certain way to traffic of ficer who takes his check and shows him where to park.
 At the end of the performance, as the check numbers flash over thu theater entrances, the traffic officers release the automobiles called for And even here. they are not sent of in any haphazard way.
 Mounted officers escort the car | to their theaters in blocks of ten, ant at the entrances release them in ths order called for.
 The result, within this short time | of trial, has been noticeable re. l duction in traffic accidents and de. | lays. And. at the same. time. thi. l congested area has been cleared ! faster than ever before

N|[[YS OVER[ AND MAKES
 ANNOUNCEMENT IF B|G GUT

today represents value which makes it easily the first among all poppet valve cars as a utility investment"
 The great surprise on the Willys- Overland announcement is the deep cut made in the Willys- Knight car, according to II. II. Hotchkiss of the Overland Arizona company.
 This car uses the same type of motor as the famous Panhard built in France, the Daimler in England, and the Minerva in Belgium, and the Mercedes, has, long been classed in the public mind as one of the coun- try's fine cars,'' he states.
 Tt combines smartness of design and fineness of workmanship with an extremely low cost of maintenance. Its gasoline mileage averages above 20 miles to the gallon, and the sleeve valve motor actually improves with use up to 90, 000 miles, and. maintains it's high standard for a life that has yet found no limit. Yet this fine car by quantity production has been sold not at the eight to twelve thousand dollar figure of the foreign cars, but at the low figure of S2,195 during this past year in America.
 The new price S1,S95 puts this car at the very lowest price among Americas finest cars.
 The ability pf Willys- Overland to make this saving may be judged from the fact that up to the first of May this year more than 50.000 Will lys- Knight cars had been sold, and among the purchasers of this Wiilys- Knight car who are enthusiastic over the qualities of it's motor, are the Prince of Wales and the King o Spain. who join with thousands oi Americans in placing price secondary to satisfaefion.''
 The new prices of the Willys- Knight compared with the old, are as follows:

blight which has fallen upon certain
sections of Newport will make itself
felt economically through all of New
England. From a sentimental stand
point, too, they fear the effect of the
closing down Of the station which for
almost half century has been the
alma mater of the greater part of the
nayy's finest youth
A year. ago this month there were
5000 sailors on Coasters Harbor
Island. To-day the roster is less than
800, made up largely of the ships com
pany charged with the policing of the
station and the few recruits who have
not yet been sent elsewhere.
Governor San Souci is considering.
at the request of the Chamber of Com
merce calling a meeting of the Gov
ernors of all the New England states
to back the fight to restore the station.
Several Governors slready have offered
their support.
Ample Appropriation Available
Newport has an appropriation sufi-
clent to lodge and train every recruit
who will be enlisted in the navy until
June, 1922, although the order author
izing the renewal of recruiting issued
station as q training place. In 1917
Newport was the biggest station owned
by the government. In six months of
that year $4,000 recruits of the $4,000
received were trained and sent to sea
The city made a fight last April for
the S185,000 finally awarded as the
station appropriation for the year, al
though this was s315,0O0 less than the
sum originally asked for. Hampton
Roads was given s375,oO0 and the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station $4,000
by the same act.
In reply to a letter from the cham
ber's committee on naval affairs, Ed
win Denby, Secretary of the Navy,
"The Navy Department has been
actuated in the matter of closing down
the activities of the Newport Training
Station solely by motives OF economy;
not only of money, but of men.
Two Atlantic Stations Unnecessary
The number of recruits at present
being enlisted is 300 q week, and of
these 200 are sent to Hampton Roads
and 100 to San Francisco. Owing to
this small number Of recruits the de-
partment considers that it would be
uneconomical to distribute them among
two training stations on the Atlantic
eoaoI, anu ldin ION ROddS DelnS more
centrally located and, in addition, hav-
ing several large trade schools was
considered the logical place to con-
centrate recruit training for the At
lantic Coast"
In defense of its claims the Cham
Der of Commerce of Newport points
out by way of answer to this that the
city has unnumbered advantages over
any other location on the Eastern sea-
beard SO far as training of recruits is
concerned, and declares that in the
long run men can be handled there at
less cost than anywhere else.

NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 30.-Newport
has resolved not to submit supinely to
seeing its famous Naval Training Sta
zion, first and best known of such es-
Establishments in the government serv-
ice, go to ruin for lack of recruits.
Headed by the city's Chamber of
Commerce, fight has been begun to
persuade the Navy Department to re-
scind the order sending all recruits
to either Hampton Roads or Mare
Island and to restore and make alive
again the great and tremendously
costly plant on the shores of Nara
gansett Bay
Only one recruit has been received
at the Newport station since recruit
ing for the navy was resumed, Septem-
Der l last, and he was sent there by
accident The great barricks, drill
halls and hospitals on Coasters Har-
Dor Island stand dark and empty; the
decks of the famous old training ship
Constellation resound no more to the
tramping feet of the nations youth.
And Newport, frankly, is afraid.
Uniforms on Streets Missed
The city's business men feel that
without the young gobs Newport will
be q different place. Once busy streets
now seem colorless in the absence Of
the familiar blue uniforms. Many
small shops, which depended for exist
ence on the men of the once great sta
ton, have gone out of business

the founding of the station in 1883,
