This Unbiased Scientific Report Proves the Greater Economy of the Overland Spa for Delivering Goods!

delivery equipment and operation is costing you too much money.
 If these figures are correct, and the estimate cost of delivery is at least per cent on goods delivered, because not to exceed 80 per cent of your sales are delivered.
 If these figures are correct and the estimate is correct that 90 per cent of the dealers are using Ford delivery cars, then is it not possible that there may be other vehicles that can be operated at less cost and at lower upkeep? The constant agitation for more efficient methods of distribution can best be met by careful and painstaking investigation of the present meth- ods and elimination of waste and excessive cost.
 Here is comparison of cost compiled from actual test of twenty-four Fords and the same number of 0verlands:
 On test of mileage of 123.Os5 miles:
 Average cost gas per mile-Ford .01S; Over. land .OI2.
 Cost per mile for oil-Ford .O015; Overland .O00s5.
 Labor per mile-Ford. repairs .013: material .OO6; Overland, repairs .0065; material OOPS.
 Tires, per mile-Ford .O023; Overland .0OO6.
 Depreciation-Ford .019; Overland or.
 Taxes, per mile-.007 on both cars.
 Total mileage cost-Ford .069; Overland .0i9, or total saving of .02 cents per mile.
 Initial cost-Ford. Detroit. sI31.i7 Over- land Milwaukee. S510.46.
 Saving on Overland operation cost. figured with gas at 2i cents: oil at l5c per quart; parts and tires list price; labor sl.2j per hour on re- pair work.
 From fths table you can easily figure your operating cost How many thousand miles per month do you drive your delivery car?
 Do you realize that saving of cents per mile means to you a cut in operating cost of nearly 40 per cent? If you are driving two. three or five delivery rigs, what is it possible for you to cut operating cost? If your delivery is making a mileage of 1000 miles per month this is matter of s24O per year. If you are driving four rigs here is pos sible saving on delivery operation of about s1,- 900 per year. Add this to the 013 per cent net profit the service stores are making and it will help swell your profits or reduce your overhead or reduce your selling price
 Is this worth investigating?

Warning: This stream is polluted

This sign is seen occasionally In
the woods of the Pacific northwest,
one of the most picturesque sections
of the United States Efforts are being
made to overcome the conditions
that necessitate such signs.
Keeping water clean has engaged
the attention Of scientists for many
years. These attempts are not con-
fined to keeping drinking water free
from germs, but are also made for the
purpose of protecting the fish.
A. M Fairfield, expert on the sub
ject, says that over two million
dollars has been spent in the last few
years by Pacific coast corporations
to prevent pollution Of water by their
products. A few years ago it was
common for large manufacturers to
spoil rivers and streams. Waste ma
terial was run into them as a natural
way of getting rid Of it. Today
much Of this waste is used In by-pro-

With voices enthralling,
The wide world was summoning me.

Travelled, and travelled some more:
But after season,

The wanderers trail was a bore.
Strange oceans and peoples,
Lands, temples and steeples,

Not one Of them thrilled me,
And home sickness filed me,

CONTROL OF
TANGIER is
CONTESTED
Paris Conference Significant
as Four Nations Vie for
Rule of City.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

Times STAFF Correspondent
Nv a ASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Full of
IWl significance is the row be-
- tween France, and England,
over who shall control Tangier,
Moroccan port at the Atlantic en-
trance to the Straits of Gibraltar
A conference will be held in Paris
beginning Monday, Oct % to decide
the future of this ancient city Of Bar
barry. Spain will be there to present
her claims, and Italy will attempt to
have q say. But England and France
will decide.
London claims Tangier is a pistol
leveled at the heart of Gibraltar. Far
sighted British statesmen fear France
wants to make Of the Moorish city a
great air and submarine base from
which to dispute control of the Straits.
Sultan Is French Tool
So while Britain wishes to make
Tangier an international port -
France is working to put the city
under the rule Of the Sultan Of
Morocco, the Sultan being a tool Of
France.
Spain, holding protectorate over
northern Morocco opposite Gibraltar.
lays claim to Tangier and the i'm
mediate international" zone there
abouts. But as Spain has not yet
been able to subdue the natives in her
own protectorate, she has little chance
of seeing that protectorate enlarged to
include Tangier. At least not unless
Britain and France agree on Spain
as a compromise.
The United States will watch the
conference closely and oppose any So
luton in violation of it's policy OF the
open door.
