KNOW YOUR CAR ;. THOROUGHLY SAY
 DURANT DEALERS

"An automobile owners duty is to know his car thoroughly, state Thomas & Nicholas, local Durant dealers. "When he purchases the car, he should have the dealer inform and instruct him in regard to the basic mechanical principles of it's construc- tion and operation. He should devote especial attention to those parts which commonly require attention.
 In the last few years, automobile design has been. so greatly simplified that almost, anyone can. familiarize himself with what is essential to the proper care and operation of his car.
 "Yhis explains why the car whose chassis is simplicity itself is so pop ular. It is profitable to have a car whose each unit is mounted separately, for then, the cost of service is cut down considerably. For instance, when the service. mechanic does. not have to dismount the greater part of NlAC C1AAoSlS UClOAC 1lC SCtS dt tIAc OuAI which needs attention, it is a. great saving in time, toll and trouble. And incidentally, financial saving to the owner.
 Again, this simple arrangement of parts enables the owner to make minor adjustments himself. By studying his cars parts, he can anticipate, and prevent, and thereby eliminate trouble almost entirely.
 Most motor troubles are the direct results of lack of knowledge and care lessness. A proper knowledge of your car and its capabilities is the best preventative measure.
 "Just a minimum amount of proper attention and care will keep car bet ter and longer. The farsighted and intelligent driver will always operate his car to avoid wear and tear.
 'Like the human body is responsive to treatment, so too, in it's way, is the automobile. And the quickest and * best remedy to any ailment is prompt and sensible attention"

absorb all of the discussion. It does come up and there are frequently questions as to how it is being hand led. But these questions are directed in other directions. There seems to be considerable interest in the mo- trade idea. There seems to be also some one or two things that being added to the long list of plans de- signed to be a panasea for the fused car problem"
 One dealer has advanced as his plan, that he will allot to his sales men, a fixed amount of money which the salesman can use in making deals in which there is a trade-in. He has five salesmen. He will provide $2,50O for this used car purchase fund. Each salesman will have maximum of $500 in this fund. The salesman can spend all of this $500 on trading one deal or he can spend it on five deals. But when he has reached his limit he cannot trade any more until he has restored his trading credit by seeing to it that the used cars are sold.
 When the used cars are sold, the money from them is restored to the salesman's trading credit.
 The salesman may make one trade, allowing the full $500 on one job. If this job. is sold for $4O0, the profit, commission of salesman and selling cost are deducted from that figure. Maybe it cost $50 to prepare the car and sell it, plus per cent commits sion ($20) and plus 20 per cent com mission for the house, ($80) which make $150. The balance of $250 is returned to the credit rating of the salesman. He can now only trade for s25O total. If he ultimately uses up his trading credit, he cannot make trades.
 If on the other hand the salesman has trade for a car in which he al' lowed $400 and the selling cost, plus commission for salesman and for the house amounted to $150 and the job sold for $7OO, there is returned to the salesman's trading credit $55O, which with the balance of $10O that was un- used in the trade, gives him total trading credit of $650. He has in. creased his own selling possibilities by increasing his own buying possi-
 bilities. The firm has profited ane

will profit more as the salesman builds u phis trading credit. It puts the salesman in the position where the chief executive of the business has always been placed before, fixing the allowance, for the salesman loses instead of the, house. And there is the subject of financing time sales. The dealers say the finance company rates are almost prohibitive in view of money conditions. That the rates are a source of sales resistance.
 The subject of factory relations with dealers is not very prominent. Some dealers are complaining. It is not a high point of the dealer think ing however.

Remnants of the ice age are par ticularly interesting in the Rocky Mountain National Park, where huge valleys have been plowed out through countless ages, possibly 5,0O0,0OO years ago. Glaciers transformed what was single mountain mass into three peaks-Long's, Meeker and Lady Washington, as they are known, with Long's rising to an elevation of 14,- 255 feet, or nearly three miles above sea level.

AUTOS ARE RAPIDLY RECOVERED BY THE
 US. JUSTICE DEPT.
Practically Two-Thirds Of All Arrests Made Bring Convictions Totaling 2356 Years

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 5-Cost of operation is the item that automobile dealers are giving more attention to at present than any other perhaps outside of immediate selling accord ing to information gathered by the National Automobile Dealers asso- citation representatives in investiga- tions that now cover the entire coun- try. Since March of this year, every city of more than 50,OO0 population has been visited by representatives of the organization and dozens of cities of from 5O,00O to 15,OOO also have been made. In each of these cities the leading dealers and distributors have, bee rnconferred with concerning future developments in the industry and their desires and suggestions will be used, as the basis for: adding to the business service program of the National Automobile Dealers associa- tion.
 The insurance service provided for members of the N. A. D. A. one of a thousand is being received by the dealers as a very definite asset, not alone from the viewpoint of the inn mediate results obtainable but as in- dicative of what can be accomplished by the high grade automobile mer- chants. It seems to be very clear that the dealers have actually taken up a study of costs for they are ask ing as to costs of various depart ments of the automobile business in localities other than their own.
 How are salesmen generally being handled, and paid? Commissions or salaries, or both? How can better salesmen be obtained? What is the practice on finding and reporting prospects What are the systems most in use? 'r
 What the the developments in dealer advertising in various parts of the country? How do the dealers like the factory advertising cam paigns? Will the factory advertising campaigns ever be improved?
 Are there any statistics or is there any widespread data available as to the cost of selling, per car? Is there any definite data possible on the av- craze percentage of overhead? Tas anything been worked out as to the definite de-partmentizing of cost ac- | counting?
 , Can maintenance departments be made to show a profit and how? What are some of the systems used to fix costs in the maintenance de- partment? Will it become necessary in properly maintaining these trans portation units to come to seven-day "A hour maintenance service?
 The questions are almost innum- erable. But one significant fact sticks out and that is that the used car which has been a very prominent subject in dealer discussion in the last two years has not continued to

Tanlac Put Him Back on Job,
 Says Davis

i've never been much of a hand at praising medicines, but can certainly say something good for Tanlac," said Geo. Davis, no Naglee St., San Fran cisco, Calf.
 T had bad case of ptomaine poi. soning and it came pretty near laying me out altogether. For three months I was in an awful condition and sui fering constantly from diarrhea. I be- came weak all over and was going from bad to worse. I tried everything knew of, but 1t was beginning to lool like nothing would ever reach my case
 ''Then, a friend of mine recon mended Tanlac to me. And it's a fact four bottle have made a clean sweep of my troubles and built me up to where I feel like a new man. I am working every day now and when il comes to recommending Tanlac I cant put 1t too strong"

pretty well off-much better off thEn we realize. And really. you know, it is the easiest thing in the world to find all kinds of proof of the working of Divine Providence in our American history. By rights a public and pri- vate thanksgiving on a commensurate scale should be the nationwide fen ture of Thanksgiving day.
 But, if the truth must be told, most of us are looking forward to our Thanksgiving dinner as the main fea- ture of our Thanksgiving day-think- ing of the good things we'll have. if we have the price; wondering where it will come from, if we haven't.
 Yes; Thanksgiving Day-Some Eats" comes pretty near being the slo- gan of our great American home and Family festival. So now for the eats:
 Would I could say with Charles Lamb-when he wrote his ode to goose berry pie-"Full of my theme. O Musei" Still, the debating societies continue to thunder over the question. 'Is anticipation superior to realiza- tion?" So maybe I am better off as I am. Certainly 1t would be terrify. ing task to write this right after an old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner Black coffee, tobacco and peace is what a man wants then.
 Turkey and cranberry sauce. that's the main thing. Really. you know. the rest is just fixin's. Natures a pretty good old dame. after all. What if she had given us turkey and had forgotten all about the cranberries? Why, the two are just made to go together-sort ot gastronomic affinities. One shud- ders at the thought of egg without salt, goose without apple sauce. duck with out currant jelly. But turkey with out cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving is unthinkable.
 The man who deliberately and with malice aforethought eats turkey before Thanksgiving day should be put In jail until after Thanksgiving day, or put through a psychOpathic third degree. He's sticking out his tongue and mak- ing faces at old Mother Nature. Did you ever get so thirsty that every sep- arate atom in you was shrieking like a toothache for water? No? Well. that's the way to find out how cold spring water tastes. Did you ever shoot all day on a duck marsh when the spray frOze on the paddle and push-pole? No? Well. that's the way to find out what a blazing fireplace feels like. That's Natures way.

BRITISH VOTERS
 BACK B0NAR LAW
ELECTORS IN ENGLAND RETURN CONSERVATIVE PARTY TO
 POWER.
DEFEAT LLOYD GEORGE
LADY ASTOR ONLY WOMAN TO WIN SEAT IN PARllA-
 ME.lT.

London.-The Conservative party has returned r'ore members to Parlia- ment than all the other parties com bined. The Laborites come next and the Labor party is considered due for congratulations, as it already has a gain of twenty-eight seats.
 These are all in the congested in- dustrial areas, notably in Glasgow, where predictions that labor would tri- umph, have been fulfilled, and the re- suits of the last election overturned by a flood of Laborite votes, the Con- servatives and Georgite Liberals being busted in several divisions. Of all the women candidates, Lady Astor is the only one returned.
 There has been no great surprises. The Conservatives are leading all the other parties combined. The Labor members elected thus far are less than half the number of Conservatives, but more than both sections of the Liberal party.
 The returns are regarded by stu. dents of politics as fair gauge of La bor's strength as compared with the other parties. Great gains by Labor ir the country districts are not expected Viscountess Astor was elected fol the Sutton division of Plymouth.
 The vote was Lady Astor, Conver vative, 13,924; Capt. G. w. Brennan Labor, 1O,S31; Dr. H. w. Bayly, Inde pendent Conservative, 4,643. Herbert H. Asquith was reelected in Paisley, but his majority was great | ly reduced.

You know that. l know 1t. Everybody knows it. Alas, that this Twentieth century civiliza- tiOn of ours with its manifold food vagaries is no longer sane, safe and Soberi

Me, l want to sit hungry and plumb empty and watch with expectation and water at the mouth. I want my first mouthful of my Thanksgiving dinner to be turkey and cranberry sauce-turkey and cran- berry sauce, and nothing else.
 Of course I expect to fuss around later with stuffing and mashed pota- | toes and gravy and maybe candied sweet potatoes and maybe even 1 creamed onions. And doubtless I'll find time for more than one long swig of sweet cider. But turkeys my meat Thanksgiving day. The rest is just | fixin's, as aforesaid.

The festive board may groan with good things. and keep on grooming for all he cares.
 And while we are sitting around after. at peace with all the world and i the inhabitants thereof, let's pause to give kindly thought and grateful to To, the poor Indian. For 1t was he who introduced the wild turkey to the | Pilgrim Fathers. And 1t was he who discovered to him the pumpkin pie The Indian of eastern America may have been a poor, ignorant savage, ac- | cording to some standards, but he had good taste in eats. And he was no 1 fool as an agriculturist. He plant | ed his corn in rows. And up the cornstalks climbed the bean vines. And i between the rows grew the pumpkin, shading the ground and keeping down the weeds.

The next step Is to pile the turf into a skillfully-made heap, which allows the wind to pass between the different pieces. Usually it is two or three months before the peats are ready for use as fuel. Peat Is used in Ireland to such an extent that few people in the country districts ever burn coal.
