felt himself swept into strong arms
and CARR ed an unreasonable distance
down the beach. Then somebody
threw water in his face and pressed a
drink Of brandy and sweet water to
his parchedN lips. His swimming senses
rallied a moment, and he discovered
that he was \lying in the bottom Of d
whaleboat. .NcGuffey lay beside him,

A Vast Truck Garden.
The country is one vast truck gar
den cut into small fields, now COW
cred with the richest of crops There
are no fences and the grass, grain
and vegetables extend on and on,
with green trees lining the roads
as far as our eyes can reach. The
crops are even heavier than those
we saw in France. The shocks in
the wheat fields are so thick the"
stand QUE like soldiers dressed In the
yellow uniform OF Belgium. In
places they have been carried to tho
sides of the fields. so as not to in
terfers with the plowing which often
results here in two crops n year,
See how well kept everything Is!
There are no tools lying about and
tho grain is protected I'm shock and
stack. Those oats shocks on our
right are each made up of eight
sheaves with cap sheaves on top.
The wheat shocks on our left are
capped the same way. The shcaves
are small and the straw is Ions.
Each sheaf is az big around as
three gallon bucket and when I lean
one against my knees IL reaches as
high as my waist. Tho grain is ex-
ceedingly heavy. for the production
here per acre Of wheat. oats, barley,
rye and potatoes exceeds that OF
any other civilized country. The
wheat yield is 81 bushels per acre,
while our average is only 3. Before
/ the lwar Belgium imported about
threb-fourths OF her wheat, but her
production Of other foodstuffs, in
Guiding meat. WAS sufficient for the
whole population and she exported
sugar, potatoes, draft horses. fruit
and vegetables. She produced over
six hundred million pounds OF beet
sugar this year.
During the war the Germans car
ried away $4,000 horsee, 100000
cattle. 350,0O0 pigs and 1880, 900

but while Bibendum is a good name
in some countries, it is hardly suit
able for American use.
The story about the original nam
ing of the Michelin Man takes the
reader back to France where the
modern pneumatic tire had it's birth
place in the NIichclin Works at Cler-
ont-Ferrand. i city of 10000 busy
people away UP in the mountains. The
story goes that the Michelin Man was
developed from a crude idea suggest
cd by workman in the Micheln
factory. This workman noticed that
la pile of tires, carelessly assembled,
bore crude resemblance to a man.
He mentioned this to a member of
the advertising staff. who later de-
velopcd the idea, using tires of diff
ferent sizes. The services of the ccle-
brated French cartoonist O'Gallot
were then called m. and soon the
Michclin Tire Man became a reality.
The rules governing the present
contest are very simple. All the con-
testant has to. do is OF course first
lind suitable name for the tire man
and an appropriate slogan or phrase
of not more than 10 words.
VI course the would-be contestant
should first learn all he can about
Mlchelin Tires and the Michelin Man
before he starts cudgelins his brains
for name and phrase. To help him
the company has provided Mr.. Mace.
the local Michelin dealer, with circu
lars telling all about the House of
Michclin.

development, has been FASTENED by
the advent of the motor car era, and
in turn has increased automobile
ownership and travel immeasurably.
Under this, the biggest single forward
step. was the signing of the Federal
Aid roads act by President Wilson in
1916 which led to the $60,o00,000
good roads bond issue by Illinois.
Thus was started wave of state
bond issues which, with federal aid,
has made available over s1,500.000,-
coo for good roads expenditure.

a car void of such convenience as
the self starter, modern ignition and
effective fabrication. They shudder
when they think of the old lighting
system when oil and matches were
necessary to obtain illumination.
Beauty of design is another en-
ginccring contribution of moment.
During recent years the entire gener-
al appearance of the car has been
transformed with pleasing stream
lines and low swung construction
representing the chief changes.
Scores of unnecessary and unsightly
parts have disappeared from cur
tains, windshield, hood and other por-
tons of the car.
While these five developments are
considered as the most important,
there are many others worthy or
mention, such as: modern service
practices and efficiency; financial ar
rangcmcnts which make it easier for
the man of limited income to own a,
car; governmental recognition of the
motor car as national necessity: and
the educational work being carried
or by the industry.
