for service foremen is slightly more
comprehensive, while that for SER
vice station owners goes into such
details as shop layout, service de-
partment administration, mainten-
ance of parts stocks, the fiat rate

"The service schools and the SER
vice promotion department work
hand in hand" said Mr.. Little. "A
dealer, having seen a model Chew
rolet shop in operation at the
school. usually is already sold
when a service promotion repre-
sentative later visits him and sug-
gests that he rearrange his service
department in accordance with one
of the several Chevrolet model
plans and install the latest special
ly designed Chevrolet precision
tools. He knows that the move will
reduce his costs and increase his
business.
"If a dealer wants a model ser
vice department, the service promo
ton representative directs the work
without charge and remains until
it is installed and in satisfactory
operation. So many dealers have
entered requests for the model SER
vice stations that the department

June and July 1904 new Overlands
and Willys-Knights were sold in
the Toledo territory according to
registration figures now available.
An unusual feature in connection
with this striking popularity of
Willys-Overland cars in the home
community is the fact that the new
sales record in the four months
period placed Willys-O Overland in
second place in sales in the city
and county, being only Sc cars be-

In addition, registration figures

by more than 1890 cars. The five

Overland Car Crosses
Divide Three Times On
10000 Miles Of Travel

Three times across the COntinen-
tai Divide visiting the twelve ma
tional parks in the west and VEN
turing into Canada and Mexico
that is the unique record of an
Overland sedan in the hands of "a
Detroit man and his son.
More than 10000 miles were rung
up on the speedometer when the
pair landed back in Detroit on Aug
ust %, from their long journey
which took them into every state
in the United States, including all
major points of interest.
On November II, 1924, James j.
Gier and his son George, loaded
their luggage aboard the little
Overland and started westward.
Despite the lateness of their start
they found good going in most of
their winter journey. Through
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and on
into the Dakotas the man and boy
answered the call of the wander
lust. They ventured into Canada
for short trip that added several
hundred miles in the Alberta reg
ions. On westward early in the
spring of 1925 pushed the little
car and it's two occupants, cross
the continental divide and onto the
Pacific coast.
Mt. Rainier and Mt Shasta, the
flower gardens of Portland, the fogs
of San Francisco, the balmy air OF
Los Angeles, all came to this faith
er and son who had determined to
see America first. In the south
west, they added trips into Mexico
and gathered dozens of photographs
of the natives.
Round the southern rim of the
United States, up the Atlantic coast
to Washington, Philadelphia and
New York, all the places of inter-
est were visited. 81 am convinced
that this is the only car to have
made such trip at one time" de-
clared Gier who has the highest
commentator for the sturdy Over
land. eve did not spend one cent
for REPAIRS" he declared, "other
than for fan belt, tires and other
necessary expenditures incidental
to the operation of the car" Dur
ing the entire trip Gier and his son
lived in the outdoors, and when
they arrived back in Detroit after
their 21 months trip, their deeply
tanned faces spoke worlds for their
healthy living Commenting on the
trip, during which city tags were
gathered from all of the principal
cities enroute, Gier said: Dur
ing our entire trip we did not have
a mishap. The steady purr of that
Overland sure proves that It's the
car-not the man, for we gave it
some terrific tests"
Gier and his son are most en-
thusiastic over the trip as health
factor, and were unanimous that
they will next year start on SINH
lar tour which will be more ex-
tensive than the one just ended.

ton. For development of motor
cars nowadays is in details, not in
radical construction.
1t used to be that tops sagged
and grew baggy, Topping in the
wind like half-filled balloons. Or
they tore.
Curtains never ftted-in the
storm, or darkness. They became
lost, torn and saggy. All at once,
this changed. Steel panels, steel
side-pieces and steel cross beams
made the roof of the car as per-
manent as the sides. AS a further
improvement, Studebaker introduc-
ed, last fall, roller side enclosures
to pull down in half minute and
roll up as quickly into recesses in
the top. This ended the curtain
nuisance.
What an exchange of convenience
for trouble has been made in other
details of the car of today! Such
as:
For oil and gas lamps, lighted
with Misunderstanding systems in
metal conduits, all controlled by
one switch on the steering wheel.
For extra control levers on the

For instruments scattered all

small, sturdy wheels.
For goggles, linen busters and
gloves-luxurious richly upholster-
ed bodies in which a woman in
evening costume may ride, uncloak-
ed and comfortable
For brass and nickel scattered
all over the car, with odd steps
and protuberances everywhere
/ the simple dignity of low, long
bodies, trim as a greyhound.
For the short-lived varnish finish,

variety of colors, gives lasting
beauty.

MY GARDEN OF LIFE
(Written for The Winslow MaiD
By w. o. CtWIRELESS'O HODGSON

In nv Garden of Life Mother planted
Of Contentment, Happiness kind words and deeds
And for years helped me tend it and keep it free
Of ugly, obntious weeds that were harmful to me-
But Time speeding by with its cares and tears,
Caused me to neglect and grow careless in years.
The teachings of home not all in vain,
For that garden despite sunshine and rain
The choicest of plants have tended with care,
from the weeds that seemed everywhere
Ready to smother and hide from the
The work that a mother carefully begun.
In my Garden have worked years
Thru Sickness health, happiness doubts and fears
To make it place for friend to
feel unashamed of their judgment of me-
AS they looked my efforts to be among men
help a hindrance to any of them.
But fear as look back thru the vista of time
And behold in that Garden of Life that is mine,
The repulsve weeds that so luxuriantly grow
In spite of my honest endeavor to know
The methods, formula and facts of life
That would keep my courage in an unequal strife.
In my Garden of Life I sat dreaming day
OF the past and the future, and its wonderful
Iumined only by the light of the soul,
AS it gathers it's knowledge while the ages roll,
/ ponder yesterdays deeds
/ store for my in tomorrow's needs
Those things that will brighten future life
When again am called to enter the strife.
In my Garden of Life I building a shrine,
Dedicated in love to dear friends of mine,
Whose tender regard for this soul that is me,
goal in ambition to be
of contentment, kind words and deeds,
AS he works in his garden, removing the weeds
But I'm nearing the home of the SOUL
And ('Failure') is written above my goal
The mirage of hope has fed in despair,
Leaving stranded soul to perish there
Amid the rabble and cares of an unequal strife
Lonely and discouraged in it's Garden of Life
With only faint hope of future time
To take better care of this Garden of Mine.

Repeal OF Federal Inheritance
Taxes Initiates Row, Led
by Cong. Green
b. ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.

A sharp clash in the next Con-
gress over tax revision, which will
split the Republican majority into
two distinct groups, was made vir-
tuaily certain here today as a
result OF President Coolidge'S flat
advocacy OF repeating Federal in
heritance taxes.
Influential Republican members
of Congress expressed disapprova!
today Of the Presidents position.
Among them was Congressman
william r. Green of Iowa, chair
man Of the powerful Ways and
Means Committee, which will have
charge Of framing tax revision.
Opposed By Democrats.
The proposal to get the federal
Government out Of the inheritance
tax field, leaving this field to the
various states, probably will be in
cluded in the Coolidge.Mellon
plan" which is to be presented
early in the SixtS-ninth Congress.
1t will be opposed by the Demo
Gratis generally, and by q consider
able. section Of the Republicans.
Instead of abolishing the estate
taxes" said Green, II am in favor
OF Increasing them and reducing
income taxes, believe income
taxes should be reduced in the
next Congress, but I see no need
of reducing estate taxes"
The national tax conference here.
attended by economists from all
over the country, was sharply
divided today on the question OF
adopting a resolution endorsing the
Presidents views.
Dewey Speaks At willard.
The convention listened today to
another speech against the inheri'
lance tax principle by Charles s..
Dewey, Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, who expressed Mr.. Mel
Ions view.
Dewey, speaking at the Willard
Hotel. criticised the inheritance
tax as q hinderance to American
initiative and endeavor.
THE spirit of business adven.
ture has built up in this country
a civilization which offers unprece.

where the Government takes away
an unreasonable share Of his earn
ings the incentive to work is no
longer there and slackening Of
effort IL the result.
"a tax system which penalties the
creative spirit and discourages initia.
tive cannot be the right system for
America.
Dewey's attack was aimed directly
at the inheritance and estate taxes
OF the Federal Government and vari-
Gus States. He opposed the principle
OF taxation that would prevent the
amassing Of large estates or promot.
ing the more equal distribution Of
wealth, terming it "socialistic experl.
ment."
While deeming 1t proper that upon
a mans death his estate should pay
to the Government a portion of the
wealth which was amassed under It's
protection, Dewey denounced taxa
ton that would ''confiscate" wealth.
Detriment to Progress
Business progress will be de-
stroyed il the taxpayer knows that
upon his death the major portion
of his earnings will be dissipated
in Federal estate and State inheri'
lance taxes. according to Dewey.
And yet that is the prospect
which We hold out in this country
today" he said.
