The Body a Big Factor
In Making Sales

The body OF a. motor car is rapidly
becoming a matter of first import
ance to the buying public. This has
been particularly interesting to those
who have watched the development
OF the automobile from its earliest
beginning.
There are many who will recall
tho days when the average prospect
for a motor car listened, eagerly. to
all that a salesman had to say about
engines, aXles, carburetors and the
like. But today, people know that
any one OF number of cars with
good regulations will give satiseac-
tory service. so naturally. they have
directed their attention TO the eX-
terror and interior appearance and
finish of the cars. themselves.

Hills are Conquered in
Overland's Power Drive

Countless demonstrations over all
sorts Of hills in all parts of the
country staged by WHY'S Overland
dealers. have convinced the motoring
public of the tremendous stamina
and power Of the new Overland
motor.
Possibly no more spectacular feat
of this sort has ever been staged
than that OF the Overla nd Arizona

since been renamed Overland Peak.

is scarcely any road and the course

to ribbons: over It also are soft areas

People of BuenOs Aires
 Now Using MOtOrbuses

Buenos Aires, Feb. 12.-Such a thing as a notorious in Buehos Aires was hardly known eight months ago. Then an enterprising concern built a fleet of l2 small passenger buses on an American truck chassis and began operating them between two widely separated railroad stations. The charge was 20 centavos a passenger, or twice the street car fare. But they got there quicker than the street cars and cheaper than the taXis.
 Today Buenos Aires streets are alive with big American, German and French motorbusscs. on regular routes about the city and to the sub urbs. They are cutting heavily into street car traffic, and competing also with the taNis. More busses are being imported. for the idea has taken hold in interior cities. and there is lively competition among the representa- tives of various motorcar manufac- turies in the United States and Eu- rope to get contracts.

Gerbault won the prize by making d trip across the Atlantic in a 30-foot sloop.
 In the region of St. Martory, de- partment of the Haute Garonne, a brook enters the north side of mountain 1.500 feet in altitude. runs through a gulch regarded as impenc- trable, and emerges on the southern slope of the mountain.

 Action was brought in probate court last year when the Atwaters lived in Plainville and the girl was given into custody of that family on recommendation of the brother, Mich ael. The father appealed to the su- pcrior court and Judge Haines up- held the Plainville courts ruling.
 The girls mother died in 1915 and she was taken by a married sister who kept her until 1921, when the Atwater family took her through an arrangement with Michael. The father then sought to have her returned to her home, whereupon the son set forth that he was not q proper man to have custody of the little girl.
