RUSKINS, the funny little fairy
~ man in the apple tree, looked
at poor Mr.. Peerabout, the Moon
Man, in surprise. Mr.. Peerabout
had fallen down from the Moon, you
know, and landed in the top boughs.
When Buskins found out who the
Moon-Man was he offered to take
him up to the sky in his little ele-
vator.
ooh, thank YOU" said Mr.. Peera-
bout gratefully. And he lost no time
in climbing through the apple
branches to the funny little house, or
elevator, or whatever it was.
Buskins pulled handle and the
little elevator began to move, slowly
at first, then faster and faster, up
through the sky.
They passed all sorts of odd
places, but Buskins was 50 inter
ested in the Moon-Man's story and
the Moon-Man was so busy taking,
that neither of them say a thing!

would have seen Nancy and Nick

DIRT
 ROAD TO GET lDOUSE OF OIL

Illinois dirt roads, some deep in dust, are going to get an oil bath such as never before was attempted in the state. More than 35 million gallons of oil will be used on these highways this year, according to the present program.
 The oil is bought and inspected by the state and distributed to the various counties. The inspection of this great quantity of oil has come to be for midable proble into the. state bureau of tests. Eight inspectors already have been stationed at refineries and others may be assigned before the season is over. The cost of maintain ing men at the plants prohibite placing inspectors at all refineries, it is said, although it is the announced intention of the highway department to make plant inspection wherever the quanti- ty to be inspected justifies the ex- ,pense. In the case of plants shipping small amounts the tests will be made in the laboratory of the department.

ROAD BOND ISSUES !. INDICATE RETURN
 OF GOOD BUSINESS
Healthy Increase In Sale of Bonds for Highway Pur- poses is Reported.

i. New York, Oct. 3.-That the coun- try has so far returned to prosper ous condition that public bond issues proposed, voted and sold in August 1922, by far exceeded those proposed voted and sold in August, 1921, is shown in statistics just compiled from reoprts to the Asphalt association, this city. The reports also show conclus- ively that the construction of public roads, instead of having reached it's 1 peak is becoming more extensive in all sections of the Country.
 Bond issues for road construction reported sold in Aug, 1922 amounted to $516,631, ,351, compared with $15,- 372,973 for August last year. Bond issues reported as proposed totaled $59,372,973 compared to the $56,590,- 700 reported in August, 1921. Pro- posed bond issues for August 1922 increased $4S,159,973 over the $11,- 213,O0O reported in July 1922 and $4S,- 159,973 over the $12,ss2,O00 reported in June.
 The Asphalt association establish ed it's department of economies on August 1, 1921. Its reports show that from that date to August 1, this year a total of $74s,563, ,o00 was reported in road bond issues proposed. Of this amount the sum of $541, ,724, ,780 was actually voted and $368, ,966, ,593 worth of road bonds were sold to finance construction. New Jersey led all the states with $91,455,000 in bonds proposed. Georgia being second at $77 7,040,000 and South Carolina 3rd at 72,850,000. Pennsylvania, with $69, 9,039,00, was fourth and Kentucky with $52, ,450, ,000 ranked fifth.
 The reports on road bond elections put Missouri first with $71,7S2,000 voted. Texas with $57,534,500, was second and North Carolina, with $44,- 308, 1865, was third. Next in order came Pennsylvania with $33 3,964, 1887 and Alabama with $3s, ,320,250.
 Reports on the sale of bonds show ed that North Carolina with $50,472,- $50 led all states in the disposal of road bonds while Texas was second with $30,023,OO0.

STRENGTH SHOWN ".
 BY SEVERE TEST

Of recent note are the tests con ducted by Union Motors, Inc, Max well distributors for Southern Cali fornia, to see for themselves the strength that has been built into the latest series Maxwell models.
 "Three thousand people joined in watching the attempt to wreck two of the new cars by smashing the gears and were confident that the cars could not stand the strain of being shifted into reverse gear while going forward at a speed of twenty miles an hour" declared c. A. Doyle, sales manager of the local Maxwell organization. "We. ourselves did not know until the trial was. completed that the cars would come through, but we were an xious to show ourselves, as we'll as the motorists, that such strain could be put to the new series Maxwell.
 "Even more daring was the attempt, completed successfully, to climb the steep grade of Quintero street, off Sunset boulevard with the record breaking load of twenty-five passen- gers in a new touring car"

AUTO INDUSTRY:
 SPEEDING AHEAD
Continued Capacity Produc- tion Probable; Little Like
 lihood of Decline in Trade.

New York, Oct. 4.-For the fourth time this year the automotive industry Eestablished a new record in the pro- duction of passenger cars and trucks, i the output for August being 272,O0o, ian increase of IF per cent over the previous month and a gain of 53 per cent over August of last year. It closely approached the mark made in June, which thus far has been the ban ner month in the industry
 In view of the consistently strong demand followed during the preceding month, it would not be surprising if a delayed seasonal falling off in sales came in September which, with the af- termath of the rail and coal strikes, would result in slight curtailment of manufacturing schedules.
 There are many reasons for believ- ing that should lessened demand come it will be relatively slight. Not the least is the feeling that the ag- ricultural districts, under the impetus of bumper harvest, will enter the market more aggressively than in the past and become an active purchaser of both passenger cars and trucks.
 Improved business conditions, hign- CT wages to labor and the anticipa- tion of good crops have already had their reflection in the demand for mo- tor vehicles. They lead to the con viction that the rest of the year will be normal at least, with a strong probability that it will not fall very far behind the general average for the first eight months. In that period the total production was 1871, ,428, as against 1,66S,550 for the entire year of 1921.

Jacksonville, Florida, is birding it. self on being the starting point for the marine boulevard down the east coast of that State as far as Miami, a distance of 337 miles. This boulevard follows the scenic route of the Florida East Coast Railroad south through St. Augustine, Ormond and Daytona, in- cluding the thirty,mile ocean speed way. From Ormond to Miami, 295 miles, the trip is along the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax and Indian Rivers.

 This is an increase of 3O,OOO, ,OOO pounds over 1921 and about 75O 00O pounds more than in 1920, when the automobile industry consumed 7.63 ner cent Of the total copper production in this country. The association finds that the use of copper in automobile

MILLIONS DEPEND UPON PROSPERITY
 OF CAR INDUSTRY
About 2,25O,OOO People Earn Living Through Automo- bile Activity.

Present prosperity in the automo- bile business means employment for 2,250,O ,OOO people, according to Alfred Reeves Automobile Chamber of Com merce.
 At the present time, in addition to the 100000 men working in the auto mobile plants, Mir. Reeves says that in addition to the hundreds of thou sands of professional chauffeurs and drivers and of retail garage employees, there are about 250,000 accessory fac tory workers, 150,0o0 tire dealers and salesmen and thousands more in al- lied retail trades, E ..,g.., ....
 In addition to this, why not include the men who are working for auto mobile associations, the men who write automobile insurance and so on down the line, whose jobs depend al- most entirely on the prosperity of the automobile?
 The ramifications of the automobile business extend so far that anything which affects this line in measure affects almost any other business. As we have told in this column so many times before, the automobile is nec- essity we cannot very we'll do without. It extends even to the schools. Ac- cording to the United States bureau of education there are 12,000 consoli- dated schools in the nation and most of these are using motor buses.
 What is the automobile worth today as compared to five years ago?
 Some statisticians and publicity men have been giving this much thought recently, and they have decided that the automobile is worth just twice as much as it was few years ago.
 Until four or five years ago, the au- tomobile was not used to any great extent during the winter months. It was the usual custom, following the arrival of the first cold days, to jack up the car, drain the radiator, take out the battery and lay it up for four or five months, or until the arrival of spring.
 This practice is thing of the past. The driver wants car he can use all the year, and he is getting it. Cold weather and snow have no terrors for the modern motor car, even in the northern sections, where farmers do not hesitate to use their cars on the coldest days.
 The driver also does not fail to call upon his car to do whatever he wants and the car usually has the ability to do it. The automobile has improved, and the car of today is better than

Carry Extra Oil Can
 When Making Journey

The prudent motorists will always carry an extra oil can on his trip, empty and clean, ready to be filled with whatever is necessary, gasoline for priming the cylinders or cleaning spark plugs, neatsfoot oil for the clutch, kerosene to clean dirt out of corners or oil in the case the other can IS lost, is advice which is given by w F. Seel, of the Lexington-Los Angeles Company, distributors of the Minute Man Six.
