The Yosemite National park COM
pany awards this trophy to the first
car of the season that breaks it's way
into the valley under touring condi-
tons. Every ear must come in alb
sOlutely under its own power without
the use Of block or tackle or any
towing assistance.
The start was made from Modesto.
California, at midnight on a Thursday
and the Big-Six crew reached Wawona
at 5 o'clock Friday morning. A few
miles beyond Wawona the party met
their first obstruction, a tree five
feet in diameter that had fallen across
the road. So deeply was it lodged
that it took four separate charges of
dynamite to clear the way.
From this point on, the car charged
snow drifts and the crew dynamited
trees until they arrived in the valley
Sunday afternoon after continuous day
and night travelling. At Bishop creek
snow between five and six feet deep
was encountered. Here as in other
places. it was necessary for the crew
to shovel a path for the car. At no
time did the party resort to rope. block
or tackle, for by the rules of ghe
award it was necessary to cover the
entire distance under the cars own
power.
Following the two S~tudebakers cars
sinto the valley by various routes were

The Rolls Royce. Mercedes. Benz

These four engines are for aircraft use
and are the most costly and superior

Movement for Good
Roads Has Gathered
SNOWFALL Momentum

THE story of the good roads nov
ment in the United States reads like
romance" writes Charles Pierce Bur
ton in the June Harper's. Ten years
ago there we're a few excellent grav-
eled and macadan roads in favored
sections of the country. but practically
none of concrete or brick except in
the east. and there was no organized
sentiment in favor Of good roads or
proper appreciation of their economi
value.
"A decade has passed. Like a roll
ing SNOWFALL. the good roads move
ment. still in its infancy. has grown.
until today it is estimated there are a
billion and a half dollars available for
road construction in the United States.
of which a billion dollars probably will
be expended during 1922. Road build
ing has become the greatest construc-
ton industry in the country. The
Townsend highway bill. which recently
became a law. makes S15O.OOO.OOO
available for road building during the
next few months, providing employ

motor than is found in other cars of
the Velie price-in fact that it ranks
with the very best. There al be no
question about that fact.
1t is interesting to note that the
only passenger car engines feeding oil
directly to the piston pins, and also
having a similar enclosed valve ac-
ton. pressure fabricated. are the Mar
mon selling for S31S5. and the Dusen-

Y. Police Want

Commissioner Enright plans to add
800 motorcycle patrolmen to the night
force. One motor cop is equal to

Gently ~inaugurated by Commissioner
Enright has prompted the commits

seven other automobiles. The return
trip was almost as difficult as the one
going in, as a two foot snow had fallen
again blocking the road. The trip at
this season Of the year always has its
thrills and perils and is a test of the
power of cars and the endurance of
drivers alike. Many that try it each
year are forced to turn back. One of
the greatest difficulties is to find the
trail over the s~now-covered roads.

use of motorcycles has practically in

slowly enough to enable it's police
occupant to take observations of con-
ditiOns or the streets can cover more

motorcycle patrol can be utilized so as
to keep all parts of such territory un-

Another point in favor of the mo-

movement. A policeman on a motor

Benedict Arnold, in addition to the rec
ords of the trial Of Major Andre n
n British spy, has recently been oh
tanned by the New Hampshire His
torical society.
The book. which was kept by Col
Alexander Scanned, adjutant genera
of Washington's army, after announc
ing the discovery of the plot, goes or
to congratulate the soldiers of tbs
Continental army that this is the first
case of reason in the American forces

the partisan nature of the struggle
The providential discovery of the
crime also Is argued as proof that the

DOES NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING PAY!

Does newspaper advertising pay?
This has come to be a su~perf1uous
question among men of business.
There was a time when to have de-
clared boldly and out loud in a public
place that it paid to advertise in the
newspapers would probably have
stirred up a chorus of dissenters, but
to-day advertising is better UNDER
stood,
All advertising is good-some adj
vertising is better-but the very best
advertising on the face of this earth
is that which slips into the home
alongside Of the news, in the news

To be sure-the best bit Of soil that

thing more than merely dropping the

cooperation and it will do its full
share every time.
The newspaper is the best advertise

What the Figures Show.

Here are some of the interesting
things the figures show:
For the period mentioned the total
arrivals of all persons at all ports,
immigrant aliens, non-immlgrant aliens
and citizens, numbered only 542,47S.
Total departures ran up to 4S8,639.
The inward movement of passenger
movement only by the small margin
Of 35,839. The total arrivals of all
classes at all the gateways of the
nation were less than the daily float
ing population of New York city, esti-
mated at more than 100000.
For the nine months named, PAL, 644
immigrant aliens were admitted to the
United States, while 160,91S emigrant
aliens went out of the country, a bal
ance of 0,726, representing the excess
of immigration over emigration. OF
the non-immigrant alien class, $3.50
were admitted, while 109,413 went out
Of the country.
Jews Lead All immigrants.
Figuring "by ace or people" the
computation of the immigration off
cial t%abulators show that the Jews led
all other races or people with 43,728
admitted to the country during the
nine months specified. The report fur
Their shows that only 607 emigrant
Jews went out of the United States
in that time.
From northern Italy 5,840 were ad-
mitted and from southern Italy 34,191,
a total of 40,031 Italian immigrants.
But the report shows that 44,082 emil
grant aliens left the United States and
went back to Italy, or 1000 more than
were admitted. The explanation for
this lies in the fact that the Italians
have always been inclined to go and
come according to the times. That
country has always encouraged its
people in coming to America to catch
American notions of thrift and profit
by high wages when times were good
here, but to return to Italy when In
dustrial conditions in this country no
longer justified their remaining.
The explanation of why so few Jews
emigrated from the United States is
furnished by the fact that they have
not been welcome in many Of the lands
of Europe because Of fractional and
postwar disorders, and this also ex-
why the largest number of i'm
migrants coming to the United States
have been Jews. Many Of them who
came here brought scars on their bodies
