An indication that the Thanksgiving
season is near was noted Wednesday
morning, when about Is pullets were
at West Brattleboro. The pullets were
kept in a shed near the barn, and that
morning when Mr.. Millington went out
to feed his stock he noticed that several
of his young hens were missing. Upon
checking up the flock he found that about
10 were gone. 1t is presumed that shey
were stolen during the night. The facts
of the case were reported Wednesday TO

POiASy.
 This is evidence that the Associa- tion> is permanent and not subject to change by every shift of the wind, and should remove all fear of any change in the routing. It may be ex- pected that, having stood the test of these years, no change will ever take place. This will no doubt give en- couragement to ,, county and state Highway Departments in completing the sections of the Master Scenic Highway of America not yet complet- ed. As further evidence that King man is fortunate in being on this great Highway, the following repre- sentative of Stephen T. Mather, Di- rector of National Park Service, the man who first proposed connecting all western parks with one good highway, may be interesting:
 "This is the greatest road project in the world and is going to have far reaching effect, and deserves your CO., operation from that standpoint. as- sure you that whatever results are, so long as they are harmonious and you arrive at a conclusion that is for the best benefit of the public you will have the backing of the Government through the, Department of the In- terior and the National Park Service" "
 MT. Lewis brought to the conven- tion number of official maps from a recent issue of the department of the Interior showing the National Park-to-Park Highway in color, evi- dencink further proof of the fine CO., operation given by the National Park Service from the beginning of the or ganization.
 w. Gillitte Scott of California also said that he believed this to be the biggest project in the world, national in its character and national in its scope, that it will soon have the CO., operation of the entire nation and the admiration of the entire world.
 The convention was entirely har- monious and the following officials were elected to serve until next an- nual meeting:

EARLY CARE IS BEST
 PRESERVED OF MOTOR

Every automobile owner is inter- ested in the perfect performance of his own car, and moreover should he. There are many different kinds of owners and. drivers but as a general rule person is vitally interested in the upkeep of an investment that he has just cause to believe should last for some time with proper care. In- asmuch as the car is to be called into daily service, also, it is important that the best of care should be attendant upon its ownership from the time it first passes into the owners hands.
 We are often asked how a new ca~ sfould be cared for in ordec that its performance will improve the long, CT it is run, says Aubrey Sims, of the Old Trails Garage.
 Here are few suggestions which, if carefully observed, will result in a longer lived car. They are in two branches, the Don'ts," and the Dos.
 "Don'ts: Gsss" Don't drive over twenty-five miles per hour for the first 1000 miles.
 Don't overheat your engine.
 Don't forget to watch your oil pressure.
 "Do's:
 Change engine oil at the following intervals: 25O miles, 500 miles, 75O miles, 1000 miles.
 Add one pint of engine oil to each five gallons of gasoline every time tank is filled during first 500 miles.
 "Wash and refill transmission with good grade engine oil after 500 miles.
 Wash and refill differential with steam cylinder oil or 800 w. after first 500 miles.
 Keep radiator we'll filled with water"

AMERICAN AUTOS ARE
 CALLED GAS GOBRLERS'

,,, PARIS, June 20.-(By A. P. Mail) -"Gas gobblers" are what American automobiles are called in France. With gasoline 75 cents a gallon, no machine running less than 30 miles on a gallon has much chance of selling in this country nowadays. This, of course, excepts the rolling boudoirs of the newly rich but even the makers of these super-cars are trying to break into the ten-horse power market.
 The public will not look at anything over ten-horsepower, but as there is no settled form of measurement here, everything from seven to 12 horse power is called ten by the makers. The competition for economy of op- eration has resulted in the evolution of some marvelously efficient en- zines, the average ten-horsepower four-passenger car, running from 35 to 40 miles to the gallon.
 These cars have a speed up to AS miles an hour, which is as fast as the present state of the French roads permits with comfort. The small American machine running from 20 tc 25 miles per gallon, despite it's low price, is finding it difficult to com pete with these automobiles.

AVERAGE AUTO BUYER SHOWN
 BY STATISTICS
He Has Definite Income of $349.I0 Monthly, 34 Years Old and Has Bank Ac- count.

Who is the average motor vehicle buyer?
 A hard question to answer, because it very nearly parallels the query Who is the average citizen?" But composite pictures are not lack ing of the motor vehicle buyer. Prob ably the best statistics on the buyer in existence are those gathered by the great acceptance corporations who an- nually finance millions of dollars worth of time payment sales and who consider the automobile borrower the safest risk they ever loaned money upon.
 One of these concerns, of Cleveland, Ohio, has supplied the Natinal Auto mobile Dealers Association with an analysis of 2500 sales financed by them, selected at random from trans actions handled by them up to May 15, 1922. Ford car sales are not in- cluded in this list because this par ticular survey was requested to get picture of buyers above the Ford class.
 This average purchaser has a net equity in real estate of $4286.08. He has a net equity in personality of >$2079.3S. He has a definite monthly income of $349.70. He purchases a car averaging $1361.96 in cost, on which he pays down $698.31. He agrees to pay the balance, $663.65, in monthly installments of $95.60. This average buyer is 34 years old. Seventy-four per cent of this number are married, S2 per cent have bank &C., counts and 6 9per cent carry life in- surance.
 |. Of the transactions handled between January 1 and June 1, 1922, 65 per cent of the purchasers owned car before and 45 per cent of that num- Der had purchased their cars on time.
 Based on our experience of more than five years," says this company, notes arising out of the sale of low and medium priced passenger cars and light delivery trucks are the most satisfactory

Roads Reasonably Good

Whichever route is followed west of the Mississippi river will depend part ly on the season, but mostly on the ultimate destination.
 . Without doubt the National Old Trails road is best adapted for those bound for southern California because it is most direct, affords good road conditions and is exceptionally pro- vided with satisfactory hotels. Even without these advantages it would be a favorite because of the opportunity it affords for visiting cliff dwellings and the petrified forest.
 The Lincoln highway, though req sonably satisfactory as regards road surfaces, is distinctly inferior as to hotels and scenery, because it passes through an unusually desolate section of Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
 In fact, many who are headed for San Francisco prefer the Pikes Peak, Ocean-to- Ocean highway, which runs almost in an air line from Indianapolis to Colorado Springs, and thence through a wonderfully scenic section of Colorado to Salt Lake City.
 Last but by no means least in this catalog of cross-country routes, are thos', leading into the northwest, af- fording visits to Yellowstone, Glacier and Mt. Ranier National Parks, the Columbia River Highway and other natural marvels.
 The two principal highways from Chicago are the Yellowstone Trail and National Parks Highway. They are roughly parallel throughout their entire course and in fact actually CO., incide in one instance for several hundred miles.
 Intense rivalry exists between the respective supporters of these two roads, with the result that they both provide very good average of road conditions, as we'll as a perfusion of camp sites and fairly good hotels.

REALTY VALUES
 RULED BY GAS
By James w. Brooks Director, American Highway Edu- cational Bureau

Here is a thought for taxation ex- perts who insist upon regarding the automobile as luxury. It comes from Samuel Hopkins Adams: 'The value of land is in inverse ratio to the amount of gasoline required to reach it." A truth so true that no amount of argument can explode it.
 Preceding the economic fact just stated, MT. Adams said:
 Should gasoline, by some miracle, abruptly lose its explosiveness, what values would be most radically affect ed? Manufacturing, at first thought, would seem to be the worst sufferer, and next to that finance, which fi- nance, which backs the motor indus try, yet the combined injury to the two would be insignificant compared to the cataclysmic disaster to real es- tate values.
 Except in the great centers these are now actually predicated upon the motor car. Imagine a small city per manently cut off from motor trans portation, how long would be required for it to become deserted village?
 Nowhere has there been a more profitable, healthful and valuable de- velopment in American life than the suburb. The automobile is the main agency of this growth. It would be difficult to over-estimate the influence of the cheap and effective car upon the business efficiency and individual happiness in the agricultural districts.
 Drain the world of gasoline and there would be crash in real estate values besides which the worst finan- cial panic would be unimportant."

MANY ROUTES

 Association.
 In. consequence of the better roads campaign which has been in progress throughout the United States during the past several years, there is evi- dent a great increase in transcontin- ental and intersectional automobile travel. ,sa
 One of the first transcontinental highways to benefit from the popu- lar demand for improved thorough fares was the National Old Trails road.
 Only a few years ago this impor- tant artery was improved for only a very few miles from it's eastern ter minus at Baltimore. As time went on its interstate importance was rec ognized by Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with the result that the motorist is now able to travel it from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi river on first-class pavement. West of St. Louis few hard surfaced roads will be encountered, but the natural earth and gravel roads are we'll graded and dragged, so that they afford good sur faces during dry weather.
 Much the same conditions exist along the Lincoln highway, although in this case there are still some In diana and Ohio stretches that have not been surfaced. Illinois paved her sec tion with concrete last year, so that withinanother year or two it will be possible to travel from New York to to Clinton, Ia., over continuous maca- dam and concrete.

THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation of Terms Used in
Radio and OF Its Basic
Principles.

Due 20 the great interest taken in IA
do since broadcasting stations have
been started. many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
TO the novice. Some OF the most com
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light. heat and sound. radio
energy is propagated In the form Of a
wave motion. Every one Is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface OF a still body of water by the
dropping OF a stone into IL.
Every time a point on the surface
OF the waves goes through a complete
set Of motions and starts 10 repeat
those motions the wave is said 10 have
gone through a cycle.
The number OF complete cycles gone
through per second Is the frequency.
The human ear is responsive 70
bound frequeneles up 20 few thousand
cycles per second but is not capable Of
responding 10 the higher frequencies
encountered In radio. Arbitrarily

has been called an audible frequency

quencies above 10000 cycles. radio or
inaudIble Observation-Disclosures they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type OF wave which
propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All OF us have seen
bits Of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up in the form
Of horseshoes. This attraction Of the
magnet for the bits OF iron and steel
showed the existence Of a magnetic

electrical resonance. Stations trans
hitting on any waye-length other than
500 meters viii not cause a current
TO be set up In the receiver.
The portion of radio receiver that
changes the wave-length at which IL
is electrically resonant is called a
tuner. Suppose that "a" station trans
mits on a wave-length Of 200 meters
and "B" on a wave-length of $50 me-
tiers. BY adjusting the tuner until the
constants Of the receiver make IL cleo
trically resonant TO a 2O0-meter wave
or q 360-meter wave. either Of the two
stations can be picked up. but both
stations cannot be picked mp simulta-
neously. This is the reason that more
than one transmitter can be operating
nj one time and yet only one can be
heard on a receiver without interior
ence from the others.
The other necessary part Of a radio
receiver is the detector. The function
Of this portion of the receiver IL TO

that are set up by a transmitting sta.

the telephone receiver were connected
directly to the tuner the high-frequency
current would not operate the dia-
phragm OF the receiver and even IL the
diaphragm were set in motion IL would

by the human ear.
In a simple receiver the detector us
ually consists Of two pieces of mineral
In contact or a piece Of mineral in con.
tact with a metallic spring. Either
combination is known as a crystal de-
tector. A detector OF this type is moth
Ing more than a rectifier; that is, when
an alternating current is applied at the
terminals the current is allowed 70
flow only In one direction.
