z. Y Whitman, president of the
 |hitman Taxicab company. took his pencil in hand the other day and fig ured up the mileage made by the taxicabs of his concern and arrived at the fact that his vehicles, in the eight years of operation have covered over 4,000.ooo miles. The remarkable part of this record, however. Is that this enormous mileage has been piled up without a fatality or ma jor mishap.
 This Is indeed a record of which to be proud and MT. Whitman Is compli- menting his entire organization upon their splendid cooperation.
 With our constant care and dfli- gence, said MT. Whitman, i've see no reason why we should not pile up millions more of mileage without a serious accident. and we feel that ] with our constant enforcement of safety rules. our drivers are less liable to have one"

When you ace the wheels of an oneoming car wobbllng you can make up your mind tho driver of that car isn't as careful of expense as he should be in these days when auto mobile buyers and owners are scru- pense," says Weldon Martin. Federal tire dealer.
 "wobbling wheels mean wheels out of alignment. And wheels out of alignment mean not only greatly reduced gasoline mileage but use less wear and tear on tires and, in fact. the whole car.
 Tire companies for years have stressed these points. That is one of

artists had filled the carriage house with
their paintings there mysteriously APP
peared another canvass on Il thin
board. The artists were surprised and
perplexed. Who was the artist No one
knew Finally. they traced the can
vass'' out to John Lille, their host. and
they learned that Lille had done the

brushes. shaving brush and an assert
ment of house paint.
There were unmistakable evidences of
genius in the work and the artist colony
of Dorset Immediately took up John
Lille. encouraged him in his new field of
activity and, later. took some of the can
vases to New York. Thus John Lilies
local fame became enlarged.
Today John Lille still lives in the hills
of Vermont which he loves, and loves so
well that he can reproduce them on the
