last moment, from purely patriotic
motives: and in order to give the

RETURN FROM
MOTOR TRIP

c. o. and E. F. Spring have re-
turneA from Brownsville, Texas.
They arrived here on the 25th, having
drove thru in Ford Coupe. They
left Poplarville on the 18th of
August and drove to Brownsville,
going the Spanish Trail into New
Orleans, later passing thru Lafayette,
Lake Charles, Beaumont and San
Antonio. They report that they only
drove over one hundred and sixty
miles of dirt road, other being gra-
vel and concrete and only 80 cents
were spent for repairs on the Ford
coupe the entire trip, which was
twenty hundred miles. The price OF
gasoline varied, being from 13 to 18
cents a gallon. One little place in
Texas, near the border, Tildon, gas
oline was 18 cents and motor oil
was forty cents a quart. They re
port that the entire trip for the
two, including the ninety cents re-
pairs on the Ford coupe, was only
seventy-six dollars, which was
great deal cheaper than going on the
train and was much more enjoyable,
as they stopped at various places
end spsnt the day. They spent each
night in tourist camp.

FORD WEEKLY NEWS

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 26.--July
brought two new sales records to the
Ford Motor Company.
In addition to bringing retail de-
liveries of Ford Cars and Trucks
into the midsummer season with a
new high record for the month,
July also carried the sales figures
for the year past the million mark.
Increasing popularity of the Ford
is most strikingly illustrated in the
figures just announced which show
that from January to August,
this year sales of Cars and Trucks
by the Ford Motor Company totaled
1,050, 1856, in the United States alone.
And the rapidly of he increase in
demand is further emphasized by the
fact that sales for the first seven
months of the year, during which
the million mark was passed, were
391 ,796 greater than for the same
period last year when they totaled
659, 9,19O.
July sales amounted to 156,908,
an increase of 36,821 over the same
month a year ago.
For sixteen consecutive months,
Ford sales have been well over 100,
900 every month.
Production, which, by the way is
set at higher schedule for August
than any month so far, apparently
continues to be the only factor limit
ing sales of Ford Cars and Trucks.

has been recommended for promotion
TO a neutenant-colonelcy devoted the
greater part of his time to criticism
OF the regimental commander"
The guard situation has become
particularly acute during the last
week, since 1t has been learned that
Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith has re-
quested Colonel Fishback's resigna-
ton, and has asked the War Depart
ment to recall Maj. r. w. Barker,
Regular Army officer, assigned to the
outfit as instructor.
Would Handicap Efficiency"
In a statement issued today
Colonel F,ishback said that II Major
Barker is taken away from the
regiment 1T will greatly handicap the
efficiency of the organization and will
BE against the wishes of practically
all of the officers"
Colonel Ffshback said General
Smith, at one time, showed an In
clination to dismiss Major Roberts for
statements he was alleged to have
made. General Smith also said then
that an investigation would be made,
Fishback charged. On his next visit
to General Smiths Office. the general
told him he had promised Major Rob-
erts the lieutenant coloneley OF the
regiment In June 1922, F'ishback said.
That was five months before Roberts
became a member Of the outfit. he
said

officers examining board in order to
promote Major Roberts, is another

Fishback said numerous officers in
the 13sth regiment sought to resign
when it was learned Roberts pro-
motion was assured. He denied that
Major Barker Influenced the tender
ing of the designations. Col Fish
back said he deplored the publicity
ATTACHED to the fare-up in guard
circles, saying. "It has always been
my belief that a National Guard reg

In connection with the foursome
guard dispute, It was learned today
that the War Department has dis
patched an inspecting officer to Indi.
