Before undertaking the trip through the rain and mud they were advised by Cadillac owner in Lawrence that any Cadillac would get them through, so they accepted this Cadillac boost CTS advice and set out for Kansas City, reaching there On schedule time just as he had predicted.
 Mir. and Mrs. Miller arrived in Chi cago on July , where they remained until MT. Miller was obliged to return to Phoenix on account of business reasons.
 A record was kept of gasoline con- sumption and shows an average of IS miles per gallon of gasoline. The oil consumption was negligible
 Both MT. and Mrs. Miller were pleased with the service accorded them at all of the Cadillac service stations on the way, stating that a man with a Cadillac is sure to re- ceive the best of service wherever he happens to be.
 Mrs. Miller will soon be seen in her beautiful Cadillac which now is being revarnished.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Miller are look ing forward to another trip in their Cadillac, which they are now plan- ming to New York City.

However, when through overlooking or under imitation, the tire is forced out of it's natural shape and certain parts of the tire are un- duly strained to such an extent that deterioration. separation of the fab ric, and premature breaking down of the carcass of the tire frequently result.
 Many cars are often taxed beyond the loads for which they are intend ed. In such cases an oversize tire offers the correct solution for this problem. An oversize tire may care for the extra load and prevent un- due strain that would otherwise cause serious tire injury.
 Of course, larger tires also offer other advantages. They provide in- creased traction and less vibration and are easier on the machine and driver. The Savage bulletin warns motorists against burdening their tires with larger loads than they can safely carry.

 SALES INCREASE

Splendid results are being secured | from the big newspaper advertising | campaign now being conducted by the Presto -O-Lite company in the inter- | est of the special battery acaapted for use in Fords and certain models of Chevrolets, Overlands and Buicks, say officials of the Battery Service Co.,. local representatives of the Prest-O- Lite Storage Battery.
 Since our first advertisement. an- nouneing special exchange price on Prest- O-Lite batteries, we have sold more batteries than in any similar
 period of our history" said $. E. Denham of the Battery Ser vice com pany. And this is not only our ex-
 perience, but we learn from other service stations tha. they, too, are ex- periencing a most excellent demand | for this special battery. It certainly seems to be the unanimous opinion of I. the Prest- O-Lite service stations that
 newspaper advertising gets the busi- 1 ness.
 "The idea of making a special bat tery adapted to so wide a range Of uses was indeed happy thought. By 1 manufacturing these batteries in | great quantities, the Prest- Lite I company is able to reduce the selling l price of this type and score the sec I ond big cut in storage battery prices l that has been made by th;s company l within the last year. And. strange as l it may seem, it is a fact that the l present selling price is less than the l price at which this battery was sold
 four years ago.
 I .On deciding on an extensive cam- l paign on this special battery, it was I only natural that the Pfest-O-Lite ' company should turn to the newspa- II pers And their wisdom is fully jus N tified in the magnificent business that
 we are now doing.
 Tt shows very clearly that the pub lie will buy a quality product at the
 right price All talk of buyers
 strike on storage batteries at least
 is now ancient history. Owners ol
 light cars throughout the country now
 know that they can buy a genuine Prest- O. Lite battery, famous for 1t:
 long life and reserve power at a price that is made possible only througf the production of many thousands pei month.
 'sEvery car owner who purchases one of these batteries is assured o the highest grade, longest lived ant best product that money can buy The Prest-O-Lite company leads Il the reduction of storage batter, prices and has unquestiona bly, wol for itself lasting place n the heart: < of American car owners.

 TIRES; DANGER. IF RIM CUTTING

Overlooking tires causes the same general damage as does under-infla- ton. Overloaded tires bruise and jab more readily. Also they are more apt to rim cut and puncture. So states a recent bulletin from the service dear.m-nt of the Sreckels Savage" Tire comany.
 When used under proper conditions, that is, properly inflated and not over loaded, a correctly constructed tire retains its normal shape and the shocks and strains incident to trav- el over the road are evenly distrib-

Willard Threaded Rubber lasts as long as the plates! It avoids the time-loss, the expense and the exasperation of reinsulation. It solves the most troublesome problem left in the storage battery business.
 Its effectiveness has been so thoroughly proved by thousands of trials in the hands of all sorts of owners, that there is nothing even remotely debatable about the propositionl If anything was ever completely demonstrated in the automobile business, 1t is that the Willard Threaded Rubber Bat

SAYS JAPAN WOULD
FAVOR DISARMAMENT.
If United States Proposes Such a
Conference.-People Ready For
Move Says Former Minister.

Okio Ozaki, former minister of JUS
tlce, on the conclusion of a 10,00O-mil'
campaign of the empire in behalf o1
limitation of armaments, campaign
unpalrelled in Japan's political histo'
ry, declared his ccnvictio1n recently
that if the United States government
proposed a conference on limitation
of ornaments it would meet with ar
eager response throughout the length
and breadth of Japan.
NJ. Ozaki, whose achievements have
made him the foremost japanese Lib,
eral added:
81 should like 10 convey this mes
sage to the people of the United
States. If the American govern
ment proposes an international con-
ference to discuss restriction of arm
aments it will surely be the beginning
of a solution of all the diplomatic
questions between Japan and the
United States. If we are unable to
prevent the clearly unnecessary
wasteful naval competition, how car
we expect to solve other irritable and
more complicated questions between
our two countries? The latter will
easily adjust themselves when the
former has been settled"
NJ. Ozaki explained that he spoke
i: almost all the important cities and
towns from Kyushu, in the farthest
south, to Hokkaid1, in the farthest
north, addressing more than a 1OO,,
600 persons at 100 meetings, large and
small, at which pest cards were dis
tributed so that his hearers could vote
freely on disarmament. The final re-
suit on the returns from these cards
M. Ozark asserted, showed that 81
,er cent. favored limitation.
The intense endeavor of M. Ozakl
appears to have awakened the nation
to the fact that armament restriction
is the supreme problem of the era fol
Japan. An investigation in the high
est off 'ial quarters elected conflr'
nation of previous statements thai
the government would welcome con-
ference on limita ion.

GUN MAY SHOOT 800 MILES.
A Noiseless Invention by John Temple,
An Englishman.

New York. July 6.-Scientists and
inventors today discussed the remark
able qualities of a new gun, which DR..
Miller Reese Hutchinson, former chief
engineer for Thomas A. Edison, claims
may be developed to hurl projectile
of five tons from two hundred to three
hundred miles. Its velocity, he de-
clared, ranges from one to five miles
a second. The noise it made at DEM
onstration yesterday sounded much
like the click of a cash register
though only miniature weapon, with
an eight inch barrel was used. Its
projectile may be stopped in a sheet
Of steel with the precision of a trolley
car.
The gun is the invention Of John
Temple, ar Englishman who develop
ed the idea in this country.
The demonstration held in the pres
ence of scientists and newspaper men
was, curiously enough, held in Dr.
Hutchinson's office on the fifty-first
floor of the Woolworth Building. The
testing grounds consisted of a box OF
sand on the floor of the office, over
which was placed sheet Of steel three
quarters of an inch thick. Pointing
the gun downward toward the fifty Of
fees filled with people beneath him.
DR.. Hutchinson discharged the weapon
and the cash register click was heard
In the sheet of steel there was lodged
a projectile 8 inches long and hall
inch in diameter. The ends stuck out
ON either side of the steel.
DR.. Hutchinson explained that the
tail end of the proiectile was threaded
,nd served the purpose of bolt. This
feature, he declared, could be used in
bolting a plate over a hole in the hull
of a leaking ship at sea.
The demonstration gun used by Dr.
Hutchinson had velocity Of one mile

a second. He declared the high power
rifles now in vouge obtained tncir We
lccity through the use of small pro-
jcctiles, long barrels and about three
times as much powder as Is used in
the new weapon. The principle of
burning the powder which does not
permit waste, before the projectile
even starts 10 move has been applied
in the gun, DR.. Hutchinson explained.
The elimination Of a loud report, he
said, was obtained by confinement Of
the expanding gases to the chamber
from which the projectile cmanated.
The weapon lesembled the nozzle of a
pneumatic hammer.

GLORIOUS FOURTH
FOR PRESIDENT
Presides at Launching of Small boys
Small Boat.-One Sentence
Speech.

Raritan, N. j., July 4.-Acting as
sponsor here today of a rowboat
made by nine year old boy, Presi-
dent Harding delivered Fourth OF
July oration of a single sentence in
tribute to the ingenuity and aspira-
tions of American boyhood.
The dimutive craft which in
spired the presidents toast was the
"Raritan," nire feet over all, conceived
and built by Joseon S. Frelinghuysen,
Jr., son of the senior senator from
New Jersey, at whose home here Mr..
and Mrs. Harding are guests. The
bank of an artificial lake forming a
hazard across a golf course of the
Karitan Valley Country club was the
scene of the launching and will be
the home port of the "Raritan" as
she sails tramp course in search o.
misdirected golf balls.
Had she been the largest ocean
liner, the vessel could scarcely have
taken to the water with a greater
show of ceremony. Specially con-
structed ways whose upper end
rested on a soap bcx guided her down
from the bank. The American flag
was in place above her stern and,
as she was loosed to begin her adj
venturous career, the president OF
the United States broke beribboned
bottle of mineral water across her
bows, and said:
GAS a tribute to American boy
hood, who builds castles in the air,
who build beats md whose achieve
ments in the future will build this
country, l chris.en this boat, the
handiwork Of Joe Frelinghuysen, the
Raritan."
Entering thoroughly into the spirit
which prompted Joe and mis- friends
to plan the ceremony, Mr.. Harding
spoke his tribute solemnly and ap-
plauded as the boat splashed into
the water with her builder and mas
| ter sitting proudly amidships.
Then the president, attired almost
like a boy himself in white golf
costume, turned to the group Of boys
that had gathered on the bank anc
swapped opinions with them about
the fine points of the Raritan.
Manifestly the president enjoyed
the launching more than any othe'
event on his Fourth of July program
though, previously, he had beer
presented with silver up by the
