WALK ON LIVE GOALS

When Tamil Hindu recovers from a serious illness he sometimes makes a VOW to do something entailing dis comfort and pain to himself as a sort of manifestation of gratitude combined with self sacrifice and self abasement. These vows take differ ent forms. such as rolling over and over on a hard petalled road, lash ing himself or being 1ashed on the back or wearing a hair shirt, but walking over live coals is the means most commonly chosen by the devo- tee. this being very often accom- panied by other forms of self tor ture
 The particular day in the year re- served for the paying of these VOWS is the occasion of religious ceremo- nial which is known to outsiders as the fire walking festival
 Tuesday, July 19. was fetival day this year and the Hindu temple was crowded. The Tamils present were

America was placed on the market by the Franklin Company in Sep tember, 1913. At first the public took slowly to the sedan, which was radically different from anything be- fore shown. and only thirty-two were sold the first year. Every year, however, the call for the sedan type became more insistent. and during the year ending September l. 1921, the Franklin company shipped 4.23S sedans. A large number of broug- hams-also an enclosed type-were shipped, as well.
 Officials of the company say that the demand for Franklin enclosed cars is not confined to cities and towns of the North where the cli- mate is severe, for a careful analysis made by factory statisticians has shown that the sedan type is equally popular in California and Maine, and that it is just as likely to be met in small hamlets and in rural sections as on city boulevards.

STRAIGHT IS THE NAY" TO START 1T
 THE STRAND TODAY

In Straight Is the Way" which will feature the Strands program starting today, that popular theater is offering enc of the most original dramatic comedies to be screened locally for some time.
 The story is action personified, heightened by a romantic vein of the most appealing nature, surprising in the clever situations, humorous in the out-cropping of genuine comedy, and interesting to the extreme in the element of sustained suspense which features the entire production.
 Paramount has given the attrac- ton a most wonderful setting. The cosmopolitan unit of this great pro- ducing concern adapted the picture from the widely read story "The Manifestation of Henry Ort.' It will be remembered this is the same unit which produced "The Restless Sex" "Humoresque." Heliotrope." Inside the Cup" and several of the biggest features of last season.
 Straight Is the Way" was directed by Robert Vignola. who has given the theme a most sympathetic presenta- tion.
 Readers of the novel will instantly recognize the unusual material it makes for pictures. In action, the story swings around a couple of New York crooks, and a couple of rural. simple ladies, who are in the meshes of a scheming money shark.
 The unusual reformation of the crooks, and their subsequent action in resorting to their former tactics in order to bring to justice those whom the police have been unable to de- tect are stirring incidents making for the climax which will come as a complete surprise for everyone.
 The leading roles are in the hands Of Matt Moore and Gladys Leslie, the entire company bsing culled from the best talent in the cosmopolitan unit | of Paramount
 The same program carries the Pathe News and the Mutt and Jeff comedy.

During the first eight months of this year 49 per cent of the cars shipped from the factory of the Franklin Automobile company at Syracuse were of the enclosed type, -an increase of per cent over the corresponding period of 1920. These figures point in unmistakab1e terms to the increasing demand on the part of the motoring public for the year round use, comfort and protection from the weather which the enclosed car affords.

Here is the most important announcement Rec ever made.
 flor this is the greatest value Rec has ever been able to offer.
 and this is, we believe, the most advanced model ever turned out by any factory. - this new light seven-passenger Touring Car will revolutionize design and set new standard. -a and hnally-its price establishes new low level of prices and creates new standard of values. How has this been accomplished :? - is your natural query.
 How, in car whose overall dimensions are but little longer than its predecessor, have we been able to obtain so much more seating room9 For this most desirable result the Rec builders have actually accomplished. Howl Why by converting waste space into passenger capacity.
 You will have to see this new Reo to fully appreci- ciate the study the ingenuity and the clever crafts manship by which this has been accomplished And when you do, your enthusiasm will know no bounds.
 How often have you wished for car that would, occasion, hold seven?
 Yet you would not buy 'seven," because up to now, car of that capacity was an overgrown cumbersome, unwieldly affair whose first cost was excessive and whose upkeep was prohibitively so. There has been a great need for car of moderate length, of light weight and hence of reasonable upkeep-yet with plenty of power and room for seven.
 You have wished for such a. Rec dealers have asked for such Rec craftsmen have sought long and diligently for the solution. and striven unceasingly to produce such @ car.
 Finally, as happy Inspiration it came. And now the long sought, ardently desired is 1,t1 A%~ of1 w,rfra rOfnr 11xr, in your reach but which conforms to your idea of yalues-"The Gold Standard of Values It is logical that this advanced model should ema- nate from the Rec shops.

Just few instances of Rec pioneering all of which, received at first in doubt and some with derision, finally became the standard = Side door entrence-One Lever, Center Control Interlocked Clutch and Brake, Electric Starters Many methods and special machine tools that have revolutionized manufacturing were first used in the Rec shops.
 And -; Rec was first to put pneumatic tires on a truck = result, that mighty Speed Wagon which has revolutionized transportation and rendered practically every other type obsolete. That Speed Wagon which Fits Every Business" and dominates the field regardless of carrying ca- pacities-was just such an innovation as this. History will repeat itself.
 See this new Reo-you will be delighted with this light. snappy. flexible. beautiful 7passenger car. Size makes it ideal to handle on narrow roads or streets, or parking in tight places. Upkeep and operation costs will be less than here tofore have been possible in car of passenger capacity.
 Need we say this is a quality car ? Being Reo,it must be that. The very terms are synonymous. Built for the connoisseur = for that select Rec clientele who appreciate and demand the best this Rec possesses all the inherent quality y- the hidden beauty" for which the Rec product is famous
 This is the handsomest touring model that ever came from the Rec shops.
 Body design conforms to the very latest mode. Long, slightly-curved lines sweep gracefully from radiator to extreme rear-edges bcveled, doOrs flush.
 Power and speed and endurance radiate from this new Light Rec. Viewed from any angle it looks the lithe sinewy. swift running thing it is.

Too Fat

A stout passenger alighted from a
train at a small station in Scotland
He was stranger to the village.
After walking the whole length OF
the poorly lighted platform he failed
to discover the way out. Not even a
porter could be found, and the man
was almost in despair when he noticed
a ragged urchin peering through the
ratings, evidently vastly interested
in the strangers appearance.
"I can't get out of this confounded
station" said the traveller. "Can you
show me the proper way out?"
The lad surveyed his questioner,
moved away yard or two and asked
with grin, "Have you tried side
ways?"
