Naki12g 20 Years Of Racing
Serve COR OoUroerS Today

IN the early days OF automobile
& contests, Barney Oldheld-out
to win every race-studied tires.
His consistent success led other
drivers to ask for tires constructed
to his specifications.
Twenty years of road and track
victories-with steady and increas-
ing demand for tires as he built them
convinced Barney Oldfeld that
these speed tests pointed the way to
a better tire for everyday use.
The enthusiastic reception of Old
field Cords by the public proved lie
was right. Scores of the most
prominent dealers in the country
and many thousands of car owners,
experienced in the use of tires-bear
witnsss by their decided preference
that Oldfeld is doing bigger and
better job of tire making.
This volume, handled in an effec-
tive way in every phase of manufac-

ture and distribution, has resulted
in price quotations far below what
you'd expect on tires known to be
better built and more enduring.
Practically every important race
event for three years has been won
on Oldfelds. The Wichita Test Run
in which an entire set of Oldheld
Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough
roads proves the mettle of the Most
Trustworthy Tires Built in every
day driving.
The Master Driver and Tire
Builder has given the public a new
standard of tire wear and tire cost
a true economy that every car owner
should know about.
Your Oldfeld dealer has these
facts-talk to him.

SHOW LOCATION OF WATER
Signs on Painted Desert in the South
west Guide Travellers to the
Precious Liquid.

Travel off the beaten paths in the
famous Painted desert of the South
west would be a dangerous matter
were it not for the stone sentinels set
up by the Navajo Indians to direct the
stranger travelling through that coun.
try, where once there was water in
plenty, but where now are only the
dry beds of rivers.
These Sentinels are piles of rocks,
as high as man, located on rises of
ground where they may be readily
seen. In the body of the monument
Is placed projecting rock which is
arranged to point the direction to the
nearest spring or watPrhOle. II one
follows the direction indicated, al
though he may have to proceed a con.
siderable distance, the precious wa
ter will always be found.
Frequently It is only very weak
seep supplying no more than few
cups in an hour Or 1t may he a pool
located deep In the recesses of a
rocky ledge and collected from the
SHOWS OF the past winter. Sometimes
it Is situated in an out-of- the-way
place, and then there may be two, or
even three smaller monuments erect
ed along the route designated.
Also along the way there may be
arrows cut in the rocks or crooked
grooves symbOlizing the windlngs Of
a brook or signs of various kinds
which will attract attention. These
directions all help to make the way
palmer and reduce the chance Of the
traveller becoming confused.

Pittsford Post Favors Action

At recent meeting of Pittsford Post
No. ST. it was voted that this post go
on record as favoring the action of the
Department Adjutant in accepting the
office of District Manager of the Vet
Grams Bureau. We believe that with
the latter office in the hands of our
Department Adjutant we have a bet
ter and more useful American Legion,
and, on the other hand, the work of the
Veterans Bureau is greatly facilitated
by the fact that its manager is the
Department Adjutant. 1t has been our
experience in working for the relief of
disabled veterans that the adjustment
of compensation has been much more
quickly accomplished through the
combined offices. We recognize, how
ever, that it was the vote of the Barre
Convention that the Department Adju-
tant should devote his entire time to
the proper conduct of the office; but
we must recognize also that the dis
abled veteran is being more quickly
served by the present arrangement
than was ever possible through the sep
arate Offices What is the function of
the American Legion if it is not to aid
our disabled comrades? Furthermore,
we believe that the vote of the Barre
Convention is being adhered to in
spirit because of the service which the
Adjutant is giving The fact that
the Department which he represents
leads the nation in per capita member
ship in the American Legion is but one
indication of that loyalty. We are
strongly of the opinion that for maxi
mum, efficient service the present ar
rangement by which the Department
Adjutant is also District Manager of
the Veterans Bureau is most satisfac-
tory.

DEALS BLOW TO OLD THEORY
Writer Points Out FaIacy OF Suppo-
sition That Prehistoric Men
Were All SaVages.

The notion that all prehistoric men
were bruteS and Savages dies hard,
notion which has been spread by pO-
cts, painters and sculptors as well as
by many thOughtleSs prehstorians. A
theOretiC rebuttal is afforded in the
simple consideration that any tribe in
which brutal and savage elements pre-
dominated would have undergone a
retrOgreSSive social and racial devel-
opment and would never have attained
the superb qualities which we discOv-
er in many of the EuraSiatiC races

New stone Age in Northern Europe
by John NJ. Tyler, is refreshing for
those who desire to bury the primitive
savage theory once for all and to give
our prehistoric ancestors credit for
our fundamental virtues both mental
and spiritual, as well as to excuse
them for certain customs which have
only recently disappeared from our
own civilization. Altogether, the new
Stone age covered not only very long
period of time. but one of great cul-
tural progress, partly autOchthonous,
hut more largely introduced from the
East. The varied industries of the
era, the valuable implements, the trade
in salt. gold, copper and amber, the
mining for flint, indicate people equal,
if not superior, to the average inhabi-
tants of the same regions of Europe

To Take Census.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. l0.-Compil-
ing the vital facts about the five mil
lion ex-serviCe men in the United
States is a job the American Legion
is now undertaking in its national "ser-
vice and compensation drive, recent
ly approved by the Legion's conference
in Indianapolis The drive is taking
the form OF a census, with each state
department determining its own dates
for carrying out the work. To lay a
foundation for the proposed rotating
fund" to be raised by the Legion for
the benefit of ex-soldiers in acute cir
cumstances, is a prime purpose of the
census. Each veteran will be asked
to specify whether he favors the es-
adjustment of such a fund and whet
her he would be willing to contribute
his compensation allotment, if he did
not need, with the passage of bonus
legislation. The money thus raised
would be loaned to needy service men
at a low rate of interest and with no
security. A further aim of the census
is to record war disability cases. II a
veteran was wounded or gased, or was
sick, or suffered and injury in the ser
vice. if he has an ailment that can be
traced to service, he will register the
facts on the QUESTIONABLE and assis-
