HOW DO WE GET THAT WAY?

The cruelty of Indians has often
been the subject of comment, as
though it were a characteristic es-
pecially developed in those people,
indiscriminate cruelty torturing the
innocent for the guilty, scalping,
mutilating and burning at the stake
men, women and children who may
never have caused their captor In
jury. But the redskin was sensible
of the fact that the whites were, un-
der the existing conditions, his nat
ural enemies, taking and tanning a
wilderness the savages wished kept
as wilderness; he believed in an
eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth.
from whomever he might exact the
toll. So doing, he doubtless believed
would terrify the whites and so work
to the red mems advantage, after
methods such as found favor among
the German militarists during the
war and which appear to have been
in lesser degree exemplified by some
of the other combatants.
Compare arson syndicates in this
country to the Indians, though to do
so is an offense against the Indians,
many of whom really knew no bet
ter. Speaking before the National
Association of Credit Men the super
visor of conservation of the National
Board of fire underwriters declared
that arson rings directed by "un-
scrupulous politicians and business
men" are causing indirectly to bus
mess an annual loss of $160,000, 900
and that the deaths from incendiary
fires in these United States average
$4,000 a year.
He further declared that insurance
companies are confronted with the
dire results of misdirected sympathy
on the part of both judges and jur-
les. The same attitude confronts
all who would make an effort TO
check crime. Yet isn't 1t difficult to
understand why there should not be
in the heart of every human being a
profound loathing for those who are
instrumental. in setting fires regard
less of the helpless, the women and
children who may soJbe exposed to
horrible death? They are really
as much worse than the red Indians
on the warpath as the latter were
worse than the attendants on a
Quaker meeting. How do we get
that way?"

Graham Brothers
Again Move Into
Larger Factory

Following closely the informa ton
that Graham Brothers produced more
ls-ton trucks than any other manu-
facturer during the first quarter of
1925, and ranked second in the 1-ton
and 13-ton fields combined, comes the
announcement that their Detroit fac
tory has again found 1t necessary to
take greatly enlarged space.
On June is, it is also announced
Graham Brothers opened a new Paci-
fic coast plant in Stockton, California.
Including Graham Brothers, Canada,
Ltd, this gives them four factories.
The rapidity Of Graham Brothers
growth is clearly indicated by the re-
peated increases in their space re-
duirements-which have much more
than doubled each year since 1921.
The first Detroit plant in 1921, had
$4,000 square feet. During 1922 this
was increased to $4,000 and during
1928 to 100000 In May, 1923, they
moved into plant of $4,000 square
feet. more advantageously located
with respect to Dodge Brothers from
whom they obtain the engine for their
trucks. Soon, still more space was re-
quired. First, $4,000, then $4,000
more square feet were added, and on
June LIST. 1925. another move gave
them 100000 square feet
Graham Brothers now have a space

Lessons From Accidents


Every once in awhile the excuse
a. driver offers for his participation
in an accident is valuable lesson
for the motorist who will take tip.
This IN clearly illustrated by re-
cent accident in which the driver OF
one car failed to overtake the driver
of the car ahead In time to avoid
missing an approaching truck. Inc

atory.

wasn't a thing in sight" he said. Il
never saw safer time nor pettei
opportunity to pass"
That was just the trouble. 1t was
an excellent time to pass-at the
time. But he did not figure that IN
order to pass a car travelling at 20
miles an hour he had to accelerate
his car to a speed oc 30, and that at
such a speed he was moving A feet
every second. Assuming that 1t
takes ave seconds to complete the
passing it is evident. therefore, that
when he had completed the job OF
overtaking the other car both cars
were approximately 200 feet further
along the highway. What he found
was that 200 feet ahead was not
quite such a safe place to pass a car
It isn't so much how the situation
looks at the start of the passing but
how it looks at the end of the job
Here is where a little imagination is
absolutely essential. The driver needs
to picture himself passing the other
car, not Immediately but five seconds
or so later, and 200 feet or more
down the road
What is the situation then? That

The Old Mechanic Says

If you should ask me what's the
biggest point in carin' for a car I'd
tell you Regularity. Most owners
don't seem to figure that IT'S too
late to lock the stable doors after
the horse has run away.
Every few hours someone's comm
to me for repair work that never
should have been necessary. Owners
will go for year KNOWN some vital
parts Of the car are sufferin' and
then expect that everything will be
all right after I get busy on it. They
forget that when rip the car apart
In order to get at the seat Of the
trouble I do a lot Of unavoidable
damage on the way. You can always
tell the car that hasn't had regular
ity in care. It will look like people
who would rather be operated on
than take a little medicine or ex-
ercise.
Regularity in carin' for a car
means dom what you think you
ought to do to the car whenever you
know it's necessary. It doesn't mean
takin' 1t easy. Sometimes you'll feel
like savin' up a lot Of little jobs for

New Features Embodied
In Willys-Knight Skies

Enthusiastic reports from owners
of the new Willys-Knight Skies bring
high compliment for the specially de-
signed reffnements of these cars,
company officials declare. W
One of the most important features
in the new line Of six cylinder sleeve
Waived cars is the specially designed
curtain compartment for the touring
models, located in the back of the
front seat A finely finished interior,
covered with fine cloth ,encases the
curtains, keeping them free from dust
and dirt, and providing a safe COM
partment with its fine lock. Strong
straps hold the curtains securely in
place, eliminating the usual crushing
| and breaking of curtain windows, and
providing an easily accessible com
partment so that occupants need not
leave their seats to install the storm
protectors.
Specially fitted compartments in the
front door, likewise rovided with a
strong and serviceable lock, contain
the tool equipment for the WHY'S
knight open models. There is no
fumbling around for the tools, no lift
ing of seat cushions nor loss of tools
by theft with these unique arrange
| ments, and women drivers are par
ticularly enthusiastic over the con-
Venience Of this equipment.
Full and complete action Of the
| ditch lamp or auxiliary road driving
light, is obtained by simple manip-
ulation on the steering column. This
| device, exclusive on the Willys-Knight
Skies, is giving fine service satisfac-
ton to hundreds Of owners in night
driving. A simple turn Of the wrist
and the light is instantly and direct
ly focused at the right height or an
gle on the side of the road.
Other special features included in
the equipment for these Willys-Knight
Skies are an air-flter on the carbure-
tor which removes all impurities in
the air before 1t is drawn into the car
buretor for the mixture; an oil recti-
fer which reduces crank case dilution
and insures good engine oil at all
times; full sized one-piece Windshield
giving greater vision and safety ad-
vantages in driving, and patented
Willys-Knight four-wheel brakes of
positive action and ease Of control
