says Mr.. c. B. Mundy, of Fresno,
California.
Mr.: and Mrs. Mundy, who are
travelling from Fresno to New York
In Crysler touring car, recently
reached Washington and it was
here that Mr.. Mundy expressed such
satisfaction with the performance
of the car.
Practically the entire trip from
California to Washington was made

Mr.. Mundy said that he averaged
seventeen and one-half miles to the
gallon of gas all the way from his
home in California to Washington.
and considering some of the roads
and grades encountered, he believed
this excellent.
Il recall one incident Of the trip -
SAID Mr.. Mundy, (which certainly
showed the sterling qualities Of the
Chrysler. In coming through New
Mexico we were obliged to thraveI
through a section where a wasnout
had occurred, and as the water
came up over the running board,
the car came to a stop. Fearing
that the engine was dead, | had a
man with a team, who happened to
be nearby, pull the car ont Of the
hole and when stepped on the
starter, was amazed, to again
hear the steady throb of the motor,
following such a thorough bath as
the Chrysler had received. We were
able to continue our journey with.

ALL AJAX TIRES.
ARE Of Low
PRESSURE
n. ]. Sterzer Explains Line.
Full Balloon Type Also Pro-
vided for Patrons

All Ajax tires are low pressure
tires. according to an announcement
made today by Henry J. Sterzer.
manager Of the Minute Service sta.
tons, which are distributing this
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cord tire.
The Ajax tire includes the full
balloon type Of tire and it goes be.
yond that point in providing for the
motorlst low pressure tires for uss
without change Of wheel or rim and
giving. it is claimed, the supreme
riding comfort of the full balloon
tire" said Mr.. Sterzer.
This new tire-the ultra flexible
cord-was first produced a year
ago, after the most convincing and
exhaustive tests ever given a new
product.
The low pressure cord enables
the motorist to enjoy the advantages
o. low pressures on his present car
without changing wheel or rim.
Like the balloon tires now in
use, the standard Ajax ultra flex-
able cord provides increased riding
ease through low imitation.
There is a special type Of ultra
flexible cords for every car and
every condition Of driving.
Charts on display at the various
AJAX dealers show the type of tire
best adapted to every car and every
locality.
Ajax tire dealers, who are ex.
pert tire men, are prepared to solve
every tire problem and to give the
oest advice as to the type of tire
pest suited to every car. Ajax tires
are now standard equipment on
many of the leading cars"
Mr.. Sterzer states that the new
Ajax ultra-flexible cord has aroused
very unusual enthusiasm among 10.
cal motorists, most OF whom do not
feel justified in changing wheels or
rims to permit the use of the full
balloon type.
He predicts q wonderful season for
Ajax tires In Washington.
The AJAX line, however, includes
the full balloon type tire and a
great many cars are being Sso
equipped, the dealers being able I'd
guarantee almost immediate de.
livery on standard type wheels for
balloon tires.

FACTS ABOUT SMITH IN
 CAMPAIGN PROPAGANDA
Roosevelt Preparing Data Which is Strangely Silent On the
 Liquor Issue

New York, May 9.-A pamphlet entitled What everybody wants to know about Alfred E. Smith" describ- ing the life, accomplishments, views and ideas of the governor of New York state will be circulated through out the country, according to Franklin D. Roosevelt, in charge of the gov ernor's boom for the democratic presi- dential nomination. A first edition of 25,OO0 copies already has been sent to "Al's" friends. S
 MT. RooseSeft declared yesterday he was hearing from a large num- Der of states where there is a re- markable and growing sentiment" for Smith, but he would make no claims and no prophecies on the subject of the number of delegates the governor would have at the convention.
 The convention, he asserted, would be really an "open" one. The Smith faction, he added, intended to use "every honorable means to convince the necessary two-thirds of the dele gates that Gov. Smith would be the best standard bearer of the democra- tic party and would have the best chance of election"
 The pamphlet quotes w. c. Me- Adoo as having said of Governor Smith:
 His public career has qualified him by training and experience for great office, and his ability and char actsr fit him admirably for the dis charge of responsible duties."
 The only mention of Governor Smiths position on prohibition is: "Hs petitioned congress to permit the sev- eral states to modify the definition in the Volstead law"

FRANCE UNCONCERNED. Recent Flutter in Foreign Exchanges Causes Little Excitement,

Paris, May 9.-The flutter in the exchange market IS causing little con- cern here. The fall of the franc is attributed by the experts to purchases of foreign currency by importers for the mid-May settlement which they have been postponing until the last moment in the hope that the franc would further improve. Their pur- chasing in body is being taken ad- vantage of by the spectators, the ex- perts say.
 The nationalist organ such as Echo De Paris, however. declare the move- ment was launched by the big Ger man manufacturers with the idea of spreading panic in France on the eve of the parliamentary elections. The Echo De Paris uses the caption in large types: Fresh offensive against our franc"
 This newspaper, however, admits that the reasons advanced by the ex- perts also have much to do with the decline.

BILLBOARDS MARK
 FRENCH CAMPAIGN
Snappy Posters Playing 1mpor- tant Part in Vigorous Drive

Paris, May 9.-The brush and paste
 pot, the principal arms used in an electoral battle in France, have been featured in the campaign of 1924. Special bilboards provided by the communes and municipalities have been set up, but the electoral bill poster respects nothing, not even the post no bills signs" on private and public edifices. Churches. school houses, dwellings and fences are plas- tered with multicolored appeals to vote for Durand" or Beware of Du- pont;" to "Recompense the Virtues of Monsieur Lenicr" or "Chastise the Hypocrisy of Monster Lebrun."
 The candidates profession of faith are the first to appear in this bill posting competition, to be followed by the replies of the different candi- dates to the first attacks. Then the tone of the posters changes rapidly, becoming sarcastic, then acrimonious end almost vicious toward the end. At this stage of the campaign the dead walls and billboards flare out to the passer-by such announcements as these: "A Lie Nailed," "The Liar Pill loried," 'The Turncoat Exposed" "The Renegade Cornered."
 Only in the past few years have political parties, following the ex- ample set by the government during the war, made use of the illustrated poster and cartoon. Some of the old billboards which still bear remnants of loan posters will be utilized to dis play cartoon intended to impress the people with the dangers of a cap- ital levy. A dark and lowering hand vulture emerges from the center of the sheet ready to crush in its grasp the team of horses with which a farmer is ploughing his field. The caption is "The capital levy will seize upon what Is easily to be seen; money alone will be able to hide" Un- derneath there Is a text to remind the voter that Monster Herriot, leader of the Radical party and of the Block to the Left, inroduced resolution in favor of capital levy in the Cham ber.
 Apother poster of the same sort represents IdrlleT CdTesslHB HIS horse while his COW is grazing close | by and othed farm stock is visible in | the distance. This poster bears the caption, (Which do you want the cap- ital levy to take?"
 A poster that is being used freely all | over France is headed, This Is How | the German Pays" and reproduces an | extract from the German Socialist | paper. vorvaerts, calling upon Ger man Socialists to subscribe to fund | for tho promotion of Socialism in | France as well as in Germany, and | particularly to contribute to the | downfall of Poincare.
 The poster is really the only means by which the candidate is certain to | reach people who are not of his party | and do not read his party organs.
