NO. Q SHOE SAVES FINES

The wearer of a No. 8 shoe, driv-
ing a Studebaker Standard Six motor
car, will save fines and avoid accid-
ents, it has been discovered, because
he will not unconsciously exceed
speed limits.
The spherical foot accelerator and
the contour of the aluminium floor
board is responsible. On these cars,
the driver may rest his foot flat up
on the floor board, the accelerator
beneath the foot ahead of the heel.
In that position, a No. shoe will
operate the car at % miles an hour
Thus, driving abstractedly, the wear
err of that size shoe never will exceed
speed limits.

In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear son, Sylvester Bowers. just
one year ago today, May IL, 1925,
all pain vanished.
Ny dear Sylvester so gently passed
away,
1t was so hard for me to part with
him,
But God knew all things for the
best,
He has taken him home to rest.
Your sufferings. know, on earth
were great,
But yet you bore all pain without
one complaint,
You were humble as lamb,
/ hope to meet you some sweet day
in that beautiful land.
When the evening shadows are
gathering,
And | am all alone,
In my heart there comes longing
For my dear Sylvester to come home.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers SO gently wave,
Lies the one love so dearly
In the cold and silent grave.
You shall never be forgotten,
Never shall your memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever inger
Round the grave where you are laid.
May 13* His Mother.
