 But the great majority of these comments. many of them scrawled across the margin of an advertise ment torn from newspaper or mag zine, were humorous references to perpleXing situations in which mo- torists have found themselves after putting down the purchase price.

OF
 UNITED STATES
 CO. ROAD SIGNS

A few days ago Frank A Chase, manager of the building and loan de- partment of the Southwestern Lum4 berman's association, dropped into the Kansas City offices of the United States Tire company during the lunch hour.
 He asked for the manager. and finding him out asked for a piece of paper Drawing ouc his fountain pen he wrote the following note to the manager:
 No one has asked me to write this and no one knows I am writing it, but from coast to coast I have read on the big signs, United States Tires Are Good Tires and I think you are entitled to my word of in- dorsement.
 Since october 1, 1920. eleven months ago, with my car in almost constant. service over all sorts CT roads I have never had deflated tire-not single puncture or blow out. I had on the car U. S. Hobby Tread tires, two of which had al ready covered four or five thousand miles.

APONy BL|MP
 NEWEST THING

A pony blimp, which is perhaps the newest thing in lighter than air craft, was launched last week at Wingfoot Lake air station, Akron, o. It was built for the United States army and was flown to McCook field, Dayton.
 A pony blimp is merely a small size dirigible, and Is sustained by a s5,0O0 cubic foot cigar-shaped balloon one of the big dirigibles will have a bag of 1S0,00O cubic feet.
 Suspended from the gas bag is the ship, which in the case of the pony, Is built much like the ton neau of a chummy roadster and will seat three people. The motor Il the ship drives the balloon ahead ct a speed of 50 miles an hour. The lift ing effect is given by the gas, though of course by means of the side Iud- ders the ship can be pointed upward and urged forward at diagonal by the force of the propellers attached to the engine.
 The pony blimp, which is one init of big order recently obtained by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany at Akron for government bal looms and dirigibles, will be used tor training purposes and for map w,rk. Army flyers can learn to maneuvre the dirigible,/ learn the intricacies of air currents, how to regulate gas and air and oil, how to take off and how---more difficult yet-to land by means of the pony, just as well as with the bigger type of ship.
 These small dirig>>,es cost about s25,000 and cost about as much to op- crate as a standard make of truck
 The new ship has flying radius of 800 miles. This radius is deter mined by the amount of gasoline it can carry, as ship of this size can take along enough to last 10 hours continuously in the air.

Bedbug Becomes Serious Problem
 In the Near East

ConstautinopIe, September 24. The bedbuE has become n near east problem. It Is apparently a new breed of bug. inbred from those imported by Russian, Per sian and Tartar refugees. It Is driving hotel Keepers. their guests and housewives to the ut ter despair and hopelessness born of sleepiess nights.
 1t has invaded the palace of the Sultan md added to the wor- ries of his grand chamberma aid. The fight against it is regarded as inSOlvable as that of the dis- pute between the Turks and the Greeks. It fx smaller than the type of the pre-war days, and some of those who have exam ined the new bug assert that 1t has wings and flies like mosquito.
 It's activities defy mosquito through such netting. IL doesn't always secrete itself In the b~d- ding, but may stow itself In the ceilings and from there drop upon upon It's victims. It doesn't come singly. hut in swarms. att tacking from all directions.
 The hug has appeared among the soldiers of Greek and Turk ish armies. A newspaper cor respondent with the Turks de- feated the bedbug by the use of q rubber blanket. Either the odOr or slippery surface of the blanket proved disaYreable sb- staclcs.

1 doors, and gives everybody a pros pect in life, which they knew noth- ing about heretofore.
 Much of this other expense can be avoided To be sure, you must have a license to run the car, and while membership in the automobile association Is a valuable thing, you can live without it. You do not have to get spot light Punctures do not happen as often as they used to; in fact, we have driven 5000 miles without a puncture, and there are people who have driven for l5 or 20 years and never had a collision, and of course speeding should not be in- dulged in in any case.
 There are some things a family should have before they have an au- tomobile, but we do believe that the automobiles have kept families together, have dissolved approachins divorce cases in the thin air, and have been an inexhaustible joy to the home.
 "Yes, the automobile is worth what it costs to, every family which can afford to have it After the purchase price, Is business, pleasure, union, mingling with others more frequent ly. and brotherhood. As the fellow said about marriage, it costs more than to be single, but it's worth it"

STEPHENS TIRE
 STORE REPORTS :
 GOOD BUSINESS

Manager H. Blacklock of the Stephens Tire Store says that the tire business has been holding up re- markedly we'll at his place and that he expects still further accelera- ton as soon as colder weather sets in.
 Mir B1acklock believes that the bottom of tire prices has been reach : ed and that any change in prices will be upward. He bases his con clusion on the fact that tires are becoming harder to get and the rise in cotton quotations which is bound to be reflected in<tire cost
 The Stephens store has just re- ceived a carload lot of tires which are being advertised at especially at tractive prices.

Ouerland Gasoline
 Consumption Least
 In Lake Tahoe Run

In one of the most keenly con tested automobile economy contests ever held in California, the Overland A. carried off first honors in class l by making the 266 miles from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe with only. nine gallons and seven pints of gas- oline, the smallest amount of gaso- line used by any car in the contest
 This wonderful economy record in mountainous country was made in the face of the fact that the Over lands weight was 2,650 pounds. in other words it carried 800 pounds over it's own weight.
 On this trip the Overland used one pint of oil and four and one-half quarts of water.
 The Overland's final score for the run on q points basis was 235.72.
 Competing cars with the Overland showed scores ranging from 15S.0S to 232.96, all of them showing a greater consumption of oil and with one exception greater consumption of water.
 The Overland car was entered by wiIlys- Overland Pacific Co, and was driven by c. E. Vanderford.

We do not deny that public inn

upon certain property holders but
it is an outstanding fact that on
the good streets, property values
