TE Of
DUMPING IS
CITED
Tnis By-product of Motoring
Has Code All Its
Own

World peace, safety, profanity,
high blood pressure and property
protection depend on the etiquette
with which motorists bump and get
bumped.
eff you must bump be courteous"
says the American Chain Company
IN a new booklet on the Etiquette
of Bumping." Etiquette requires
bumpers on all cars--bumpeTs
which will ward off without dam
age the head-on collision, the side
hook, the under cut. the over reach
and the fender crumpling body
blow"
The naked car is barred. Not for
it the coInpanionsI1ip Of the bump
cred. The unbumpered bus must
take its Hopping tenders, its dentcd
gas tank, its battered radiator to
the side streets where two-fisted
drivers seeking damages are unre'
strained by the rules of bumper
etiquette.
Choose your bumper carefully. In
sist on bumpers correct in every
detail-height, length, curve and fit
tings. A deep-chested front bump
er with at least five inches between
it's front and rear bars is recon-
mended for protection from the joy
riding gas house gang in Sunday
jam.
A spring bar will absorb more
shock than rigid bar. Freaky de-
signs attract attention, but they
don't protect A curved end on the
bumper bar to defect blows is also
approved. That the bumper should
be just long enough to protect fend-
ers and not so long as to hinder
close work at the curbstone and in
traffic, is another important rule of
humping etiquette.
To avoid embarrassment in traffic
bumps, select a bumper of right
standard approved by
the Society of Automotfve Engi-
neers. Then bumpers on other cars
met in traffic cannot slip over
yours and cause damage.
We must bump-statistics prove
it-but more attention to bumper
equipment viii mean less trouble
and decidedly more pleasure In the
use Of the motor vehicle.

YORDER|NG
Of BUCKS IS
ESSENTIAL
Impossible for Factories to An
ticipate Demand Perfectly,
Says Sales Manager.
By e. T. STRONG. !.
General Sales Manager
Buick Motor Company

It is a generally known fact
that Buick leadership in the auto
mobile, industry dates from the
inception of the car itself. It is
difficult. even, for men who have
been in the automobile business
from it's beginning, to recall a time
when Buick was not well-known,
and held in high favor by the
motoring public.
In view of the tremendous popu.
larity that has established this
leadership so firmly 1t is no more
than natural that at times the
tremendous demand for cars is
greater than even Bucks immense
factories can meet.
In the past there has been year
after year when the spring and
summer months found such a de-
mand for cars that it was 1mpossi-
BILE for dealers to cope with it. Con-
stantly expanded manufacturing
facilities could not satisfy the cry
for more, and many motorists who
had not placed orders with their
dealers at an early date were dis
appointed in not being able to get
the particular model they wanted at
the time they wanted it.
Early Orders Essential.
This demand for cars on the part
of the public is the thing that de.
termines both the quantity OF
Bucks that shall be built and the
body styles that shall predominant.
This being SO, those motorists
who contemplate buying later would
be well advised to give serious
thought and consideration to the
matter of placing their order with
a dealer at once in order to assure
themselves of obtaining the particu-
lar model that they desire to own.
If they place their orders now II
will make it possible for the dealer
to communicate with the Buick
factory and when this is done on

Mutations OF

Head of Acme Auto Top Com
pany Says Authorized Sta

There. Is an old, old saw, to the
effect that limitation is the sin
cerest form of flattery." Ed Jones,
of the Acme Auto Top Company.
sometimes known as "Duco Ed, "
says that there is still great deal
OF truth in this old saw, and Il con-
crete example of that truth Is the
fact that there are now a great
many so.called H'just as good as
Duco" finishes being put on the
Market
Ed Jones wishes to call the atten-
ton Of the motoring public to the
fact that there is only one Dupont
Duco Finish, the genuine, which is
manufactured by the f.. I. Dupont
de Nemours and Company, Of Par
lin, New Jersey, and distributed in
this territory by the Acme Auto
Top Company, Of which Mr.. Jones
is president.
The established good will built up
by Dupont Duco Finish. means a
great deal to the public, because
the owner who goes to an author
ZGQxDuDOHL DuCO SLbIAOIA
is sure that he will get the highest
grade of work possible. done with
the highest type of finish known to
the industry today, which is genu-
Inc Dupont Duco Finish. The au-
tomobile owner who goes TO such
an authorized station is assured that
he will get value for every penny's
worth of money which he spends on
work done.
Dupont Duco Finish, the genuine
article, is benig used on the new
car production of nearly ill fac.
tories today, ranging from the price
class of the Rolls Royce car down
to the more moderately priced
American, such as the Chevrolet
and Overland. Such merit, to he so
recognized, demands a great amount
Of credit. all of which is given by
the public to Dupont Duco Finish.
Dupont Duco has acquired such a
prestige and reputation that 1t is
generally recognized, according to
Ed Jones, as the best of automobile
finishes,

Though the obvious features that

Yet every automobile metallurgical
department not oniy saves lives

The metallurgical department Of

Gently were rejected, while in an-
other month 20 out of 480 ship

are typical averages Of rejctions

-Forty-four young women, at

They learn all about clothing

a countrywide scale it will give the
factory an opportunity TO regulate
production in an effort to supply
the particular models when they
are wanted.
Hard to Anticipate.
Of course Buick does everything
possible to anticipate the demand.
but it must be remembered that this
is hard to do when cars are wanted
in all parts of the country ut the
same time and this extra demand
develops over night. So the owner
who is forehanded in placing his
order is far more likely to get the
particular model he wants when he
wants it, than the motorist who
takes no action until a short time
before he wants his new car.
The fact that hundreds Of motor
lists already have learned the advan-
tage. of this course Of action makes
it all the more advisable for others
to do likewise.

custom for captains of vessels and commanders of squadrons to con- sider records of their administra- ton as something personal, Captain Knox said, and there was Justihca- ton in this, inasmuch as those ofs ticers were held to degree of fnan- cial accountability. The result was to scatter official documents In varl- ous families throughout the land, and the department frequently hears of the papers of old-time naval of- fcers being sold at auction.
 From time to time persons apply to the historical section to see pa- pers relating to their ancestors and the department lends its aid to re- search workers who are compiling historical naval information.
 In 1911 congress authorized sSo.- 900 for a commission to make pho- tostatic copies from the existing archives, but only the states of Massachusetts. Virginia and North Carolina had been reached when the world war eclipsed this activity and the funds became exhausted.
 Personal letters are considered very valuable as a source of history Capt. Knox said, as they give state of mind and side,ights which official documents do not contain

REFUSES ID TALK;
 LIKES JAIL LIFE
Remains in Prison Seven Years;
 Is Pronounced Sane

Lisbon. June tAP) - Seven years without having uttered sin- gle word. despite possession of all his faculties. coupled with de- termination to live in jail in prefer erice to a life of freedom, have made Ivan Gluchosa known to everyone Is Lisbon. He is a mystery to the police, who have on more than one occasion shown him the prison doors. and the people seem- ingly never tire of speculating why the voluntarily silent prisoner" never says word.
 A policeman picked Ivan up one summer night in 1918. asleep on & park bench. and ran him in. Ques- toned, he refused to answer. Pa pers in his pockets gave his name. and his nationality, Rumanian, and tho fact that he had belonged to the crew of foreign steamer that had left port the day of his arrest. He got few months as vagrant. In jail he behaved himself, but spoke never word. His time up. the prison authorities sent Ivan to the .Rumanian consul, but not a word would he say. The perplexed consul sent him back to the prison. where he remained for three years quietly. peacefully and contentedly. but absolutly silent.
 Doctors hay pronounced Ivan normal in every way. and estab- lisheti the fact that he enjoys lis- tening-t to the singing of birds He has been insulted and abused fin his own language. and in most others, but he never showed he heard what was said. Traps have been set for him. but .all-is of no avail. Ivan has determined not to speak.
 At the end of three years the prison authorities gave this silent man a new outfit of clothes and a pocketful of money and set him free. But at the gate he shrank back and refused to leave the shell tering walls.
 Four years have passed since then. Today Ivan is assistant prison cook. but he will accept no money for his work. Occasionally he goes out on business connected with the kitchen, but from these excursions he returns with manifestations of joy. He loves his job. he loves his prison home. and he finds joy In his self-imposed silence.

 "There Is one policy I want you to carry out consistently and crtr- setically, and that Is the employ ment to the greatest extent possihIe of natives in the various otfi29s and activities of the non-Chrbt;Tn prov inces.
