During recent army maneuvers in
England a stampede OF cavalry horses
occurred which is believed to have
been without precedent in times OF
peace. In the camp near Southamp-
ton a horse broke a leg during the
night and a veterinary surgeon shot
the animal as it stood ia the horse
lines. Tie flash and report so terri
fed the remainder Of the animals that
they dashed through the camp, tram
ping upon tents filled with sleeping
men and scattered over the waoIe
country. Some made their way
through another camp, communicate
ing panic to the horses there, and
they joined in the stampede, over
1000 animals breaking away.
Most disastrous was the result to
the animals Many fell, breaking
their legs and necls, while scores
were injured by barbed wire fences
and iron-shod picket pegs which they
carried off with them. One drove of
about 200 dashed toward the sea and
plunged into the water of the harbor.
Men in boats put out and turned back
as many as possible. Landing stages
had to be broken down to get the
horses ashore. Several animals were
drowned
Another drove of seventy horses
passed through Winchester, apparL
emily making for Aldershot. Several
men were injured by the animals
dashing through the camp. Fifty
horses were killed. while trainload
OF wounded animals was sent back to
Aldershot for treatment.

SEDAN PULLS71-2 TON
TRAILER WITH EASE

A novel power test was recently
staged in Toledo which effectively
demonstrated the pulling power of the
engine in the Overland Standard sedan
which was recently reduced in price
from $500 to $685., according to the
San Antonio Overland.
A complete moving picture unit,
belonging to well known film com.
pany from Hollywood, stopped in To
ledo to take photographs of the
Willys-Overland factory. A special
built truck towed heavy trailer
weighing Z IL tons in its trip across
the continent.
An Overland Standard sedan, Just
off the assembly line, was attached to
the trailer by a heavy chain. Four
men occupied the sedan, while two at
taches of the film unit remained in the
truck to operate the heavy emergency
brakes. The chain tautened, and slow
~ the 17,000-pound trailer started
down the street, towing it several hun
dred yards in high gear. After the
test was over. an official of the film
company declared: Il would have
wagered 500 to nothing that that car
would not have budged that big load"
The test was the more remarkable
because of its taking place on a hot
day with the four huge wheels of the
trailer sinking deep into the soft as
phalt street. 1t was out of these ruts
that the Standard sedan pulled the
huge van while hundreds of spectators
looked on in amaZcment.

OVERLAND 6 CLIMBS
IN NATIONWIDE SALES

Despite the fact that throughout the
summer and early fall months produc-
ton on the new Overland skies has
been greatly increased, orders from
the Willys-Overland national dealer
organization continue TO pile up in
advance of the production schedule,
according to the San Antonio Overland
Company.
Ever since the Overland six was
first introduced to American motor car
buyers it has been necessary to con-
tinually increase the production sched-
ule on this model. until it quickly be-
came one of the fastest selling models
in the Willys-Overland line.
Production on the Overland skies
during the first nine months of 1925
totalled approximately 10000 cars, and
the WHY'S factory during the
month Of October entered into a pro-
duction schedule OF moro than 200
cars per day of this model.

OF Texas.
Ii the average person were asked to
name the most commonly used modern
utility the answer would probably be
ethe telephone" We have become so
accustomed to that wonderful inven-
ton which enables us to converse with
friends great distances away, and
there is always a phone so closely at
hand somewhere, that such an answer
would seem logical. But the figures
show us that it would be incorrect.
There is utility-far more costly to
acquire and maintain-that has out
stripped the telephone during the past
few years in the extent to which it is
used. That utility is the motor car.
To be sure, the difference is not so
very great at the present time. nor has
the dominance of the automobile been
of very long standing. The telephone
had about fifteen years start over the
motor car, and its great worth was so
quickly appreciated that by the time
the motor car first appeared the tele.
phone boosted about two million regu-
lar users.
VALUABLE ADJUNCTS.
1t might be truthfully stated that
human progress had been based upon
the humiliation of distance. Most of
our great inventions have been made
on this premise. Though there is lit
tie in common between the telephone
and the automobile they are both me-
diums of rapid communication. and
unlike the railway train. steamship or
telegraph-may be handled by the or
binary person Of no technical training,
and without expert assistance.
Hence the automobile and the tele
phone have become two of the most
valuable adjuncts of our everyday
life. Were the business man con.
fronted with the necessity of giving
up one or the other he might have 10
think long and seriously before decid
ing which could most easily be spared.
1t is probable he would cling to his
telephone. The average person, how
ever, would be likely to choose his mo-
tor car, for it makes the telephone
unnecessary in many cases, and a pay

Delegate Mollenhauer from the mu-

the miners union, the street carmens'
union in other cities as well as some
other unions had been in the habit
of organizing all the men in their
particular industry regardless of craft
and that they managed to get along
quite well with the constitution of the
A. F. of L. and that even though the
machinists thus organized might get
few cents less than men organized
in the machinists' union, they would
still be better off than being complete
ly unorganized as at present. Further
more, Mollenhauer continued, it seems
as if no one in the local labor move

ton of these men, but 10 and behold,
