New Idea for Showcase.

Storekeepers will be interested in a
new showcase which appears similar
to the usual display case from the
front, but differs greatly at the rear.
1t is made in two sections. In the
front section the shelves and mirror
are placed so as to be in the custom
er's line Of vision as he enters the
store. The rear section is miniature
stockroom. When the buyer indicates
the article in the case he desires, the
clerk merely opens a small door at
the rear directly behind the indicated
merchandise, and is enabled to hand
out the goods without having to dis
turb the display scheme.

deadly, cold finality. No doubt he
knew he was doomed. Yet something
halted her-held her even as she took
a backward step. And she became
conscious Of a subtle change in her
own feeling. She had come into that
squalid hole. Madeline Hammond,
earnest enough, kind enough in her
own intentions; but she had been al
most imperious-a woman habitually,
proudly used to being obeyed. She d.
vined that all the pride, blue blood,
wealth, culture, distinction, all the i'm
personal condescending persuasion, all
the fatuous philanthropy on earth
would not avail to turn this man a
single hair's-breadth from his down
ward career to destruction. She was
going to fail to help him. She expert
enced a sensation of impotence that
amounted almost to distress. The sit
uation assumed a tragic keenness.
Stewart, look at me-" she asked.
He shuddered. He was ab1ect,
crushed. He dared not show his
swollen, blackened face. His fierce,
cramped posture revealed more than

"GRAY GOOSE" RUN
MARKS OPENING OF
VICTORY HIGHWAY
Wills Car Makes Fast Time
Between Kansas City
and Denver.

Kansas City, Sept. 22.-There are
now four separate and district routes
between this city and Denver. The

Highway-has just been chriSsene1 b.

bilities as n through route for tourist
travel were strikinglv demonstrated by
J. Il. McInnes in Wills Sainte Cairo

McInnes' trip partook strongly of
the official character in that it YVES
made with the full cooperation of
state. county and national authorities.

car on its way.
BY a special dispensation. til, ca.
was assigned sack of United States
mail, insuring its right-of-way. In
many cities, and through the Fort
Riley military reservation. the road
was cleared and guarded. Much Of the
| trip, as a result. was made at steady
speeds between GO and 40 mics an
hour. At Fort Riley. with United
States Cavalry lining the highway, the
speedometer touched and held -.
In the $50 miles leading across the

| Wills Sainte Clare averaged, on
elapsed time. slightly more than 20
miles an hour. The western half of

the Wills Sainte Claire party Travelled
in the trail of n veritable cloudhIrst
which had made low spots in the high
way almost bottomless, and had stalled
many cars in the Dogs it had created.
In several cases, McInnes found it
necessary to put his bumper against
the rear end of one of these begged
cars, and push it out of his way.
Even when the harder roads of the
last 200 miles were met. much OF the
driving was through water which hid
the bottom of the road, leaving the oc-
cupants of the car in delicious uncer-
tainty as to the extent of the drop sure

Often the miniature lakes hid deep
ruts which, taken at the speed Mclnnes
drove, several times turned the car

, insisting that it really made little dis-
ference which end of the car led, so
long as it continued its progress to-
ward Denver.
The successful opening OF the Vic
tory, which McInnes claims the wills
Sainte Claire can cover. in favorable
conditions. in 13 hours. has reused the
sporting blood of the people along the
line of the three older highways be-
tween the two cities, with the result
that race is now in prospect in
which four cars. each travelling a diff

CAMPING HINTS.

Do not sit or lie on bare ground; it
is harmful and likely to cause colds.
1t is better if caught out in the rain
to sit on your hat and go bareheaded
than to sit ON the ground.
Drink sparingly of water in a
strange country; it may cause dysen-
terry or be very constituting until you
get used to it.
If lost in the woods, your watch is
a compass as long rs the sun shines.
Point the hour hand at the sun and
the south is half way between the

IL lost in unknown territory find n
stream and follow it down: it will
generally bring you out near habita-

If thirsty and without water put a
small round stone or a button under
your tongue; it will keep your mouth
moist.
A little vinegar in water boiled in
your pots or pans will take away the

FIRESTONE TIRES
ARE REDUCED TOA
NEW LOW LEVEL
Murphy Explains Why Re-
cent Cuts Were Made
Possible.
BY JOE MURPHY.

Some months ago Mr.. Firestone
realized the necessity and Importance
Of giving the consumer the benefit of
all doubts. In preparing Cor this real
isation, Mr.. Firestone brought the
Price of the Firestone and Oldfie!d
lines down to where the consuming
public could purchase them for less
money than they had Iaid for no.
name or off-brand tires.
When this was brought about the
Firestone dealer organization could
not understand the problem. However,
after thorough explanation the deal
er himself became in sympathy with
the proposition to such an extent that
he also contributed to the consumer by
sharing his profits, bringing the tire
down even more in price than was
anticipated by Mr.. Firestonc.
After following through this policy
for few months and getting the con-
sumers' acceptance of our wonderful
merchandise, we have again revised
prices effective on September 10, reg
ulating our entire line, both in price,
quality and distribution to where the
consumer is again given the benefits
of quality merchandise at the lowest
price possible.
In regulating the price schedule on
Firestone and Oldfield merchandise,
we did so for the purpose of creating
still further acceptance of the COLI
sumner. The new low prices have not,
been advertised as yet but they are
obtainable at all Firestone dealer
stores. Your attention will be called
to an announcement before long in
the papers of the wonderful value that
has been brought about through the
cooperation of the Firestone dealer
organization with the Firestone fac
tory.
The greatest advantage that / can
point out in this revision of price and
policy is the fact that Firestone is
not jeopardizing quality for price.
The fact is, we have improved the
quality and appearance of our line
and through economic distribution and
the wonderful cooperation of our
dealer organization we have been able
to bring around prices that are UNI
heard of for the automobile owner.
You owe it to yourself to investi-
gate Firestone prices and policy be-
fore making a purchase Of your equip
ment.

Our Traffic Problem.

To the Automobile Editor:
4 notice that the San Antonio Auto
mobile Trades Association has gone
on record favoring the extension OF
the new traffic system to Commerce
street. That's fine idea, only l
would suggest that while they are at
it. also extend the system to Travis
street, where traffic at certain hours
of the day is exceedingly heavy, al
most as bad as on Commerce. A city
of the size of San Antonio by all
means should have an up-to-date traf-
fic signal in its downtown district.
The quicker we get this system in
stalled on all the principal streets
in the retail section, the better off
we shall be.

MEINERs-EvANs.

Ward Evans and Miss Violet Fay
Meiners were married at p. m. on tn:
18th instant by Probate Judge H. W
Niles in his office in this city. The
wedding of this popular pair took
place with a minimum of ceremony
and came as a surprise to the many
friends of the couple, though the
straws had pointed that way for some
time. AS quietly as they had approach
ed the climax of their courtship, the
happy twain withdrew to Evans ranch
over toward Craigmont to settle down
and live happily ever after.
The bride is the youthful and pret
ty daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Meiners, popular and successful farm
er folk of the Evergreen district south
west of this city, who since finishing
her school course at the Lewiston State
Normal, has been engaged in, teaching.
The groom is the son of John Evans,
also successful farmer residing five
miles west of this place, and since his
return from intensive overseas service
in the World War has been engaged
with his father in farming. AS side
line he has played base ball, well, too,
with the home team, and last fall was
the Republican candidate for the Of
flee of county auditor.
These newlyweds have the best
wishes of wide circle of friends.
