wonder why the old man numbered
him among, the statesmen in his fash
ionable store. His name had shrunk
from Solomon to Sol, as ar indication,
perhaps, that the full name was too
urname suggested that he was but a
small part of what he desired to be.
This suggestion was based upon
fact, for there was In Sol a dissatis-
faction with himself that gave promise
of improvement, an ambition that set
before him a goal farther on and
higher up than his smarter associates
had purposed. Beneath his red thatch
and behind his unattractiveness Sol
had a conscience, a heart and a most
determined will. II was the honesty
and the reliability of his character
that had given him favor with his en-
ployer, and a certain c~onsiderate kind
illness had made him acceptable to the
customers = qualities not common
enough in these days to be despised.
At this New Year time Sol Sample
was particularly anxious to turn over
a new leaf. He shared the desire that
comes then to us all to break into a
better future. 1t Is an early stirring
of nfe's spring season, a thought of
renewing with the young year our lost
youth, of possible attachments of pur-
ity and beauty, a reminding Of old en-
thusiasms. Let those who will, sheer

reason for them and there is promise
in them. They present to a plowboy
something more than a mirage and
they offer to a roue one more glimpse
of heaven.
But Sol hardly knew what to write
upon the blank page after he hat
turned it. There seemed to him to bt
no better course than to plod through
another three hundred and sixty-hy'

how, which was, after all, about a
good a prospect as anyone could hay'

For Exclusive Use
Of Automobiles.

The largest boat for the exclusive
transportation of automobiles went
into service recently when the
"Transford No. ." formerly the
."Aquidaban"- took it's cargo of 200
Ford automobiles, assembled on the
wheels, from the kearny plant of
the Ford Motor Company. to Prov

an ocean going oil burner. is the
property of Dutee w. Flint. a dealer
for the Ford Motor Company, for
the entire state of Rhode Island,
and New Haven and Fairfield coun-
ties in Connecticut.
The regular trip for this automo-
bile transport is between Kearny,
New Jersey, where a branch plant
of the Ford Motor Company assem-
bles 100000 cars yearly, and Provi-
dence, Rhode Island and New Hav-
en-. Connecticut.
The vessel, was primarily in South
American freight service. and
equipped with a very modern and
elaborate refrigerating plant for
carrying beef. She is 256 feet long.
10 feet beam and draws about 8
feet of water. Her travelling speed
is II miles an hour.
Unique alterations have been
made in her hold to allow the cars
to be loaded without outside power.
Zach car is supplied with one
gallon of gas and is run on board
under it's own power, parked in the
hold much the same as in a garage.
Steel construction predominates
throughout, even to the deck. and

Four Wheel Brakes
Featured on Famous
European Cars

English and French trade journals
review the Paris and London auto
mobile shows devote considerable
, space to the extensive adoption OF
four wheel brakes by European
motor car manufacturers.
The editorial columns of the for
eign magazines stressed at length
upon the fact that Y out of 90
French, Italian and Belgian cars
displayed in Paris were four wheel
brake equipped in the Olympian ex-
position in London, ~ British makes
had this much discussed feature.
Notable among the English cars
with four wheel brakes were Rolls
Royce, Daimler and Sunbeam, a trio
considered the finest grade produced
on British soil.
The adoption of added braking
equipment by Rolls-Royce is re-
garded as significant of what will
be a general trend in motor car de-
sign since Rolls-Royce holds high
rank in automobile construction.

Feature for 1924

bort is now offering balloon tire
equipment on all models at slight
increase in cost.
A. A. Soule bort deafer in Au-
gusta believes this is one of the most
notable improvements that bort has
made this season.. He says: These
tires greatly enhance the appearance
of the car, give greater driving
pleasure, add to the safety of driv-
ing, promote better braking. and
there is not so much skidding, thus
making the automobile safer and
more enjoyable to the driving public.
1T must necessarily follow that
there will be less expense In the
maintenance of the car and it's life
will be greatly heightened due to
the mitigation. or entire avoidance,
of road shocks. We firmly believe
it will mark a new era in the auto
mobile industry.
Tires are the absolute founda-
ton upon which the passenger au-
