Hazel Arth's success with the
Vesper Hour OF music came as the
result of having one or The lest

panjments and her appearance in a
program with q group Of musicians
who set so slow a tempo for their
concert that they almost raveIled

music that has been composed.
Rich In quality. clear and sure In
every tone, Miss Arth's voice has
not only musical intelligence behind
It but comprehension of the
poetic values as well as the basic
meaning OF her songs.
Associated with Miss Arth In the
Vesper Hour were two other voices
Of quality that were subjected to
even greater handicaps than the
contralto-Mr. Randall HarIand,
baritone, and Miss Gribben, soprano.

The MAGIC OF
THE MEDICINE MAN

In the pioneer days Of this coun-
try. the Indian Medicine Man found
in the roots and herbs of the woods
and fields a remedy for almost
every ailment OF mankind. SO po.
tent did it prove that the relief
from suffering seemed almost like
magic.
From roots and herbs, Lydia e.
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, made her
famous Vegetable Compound which
many women have relied upon tor
over fifty years.

Special Six and Advanced six models
at the show, applications for the Nash
franchise are coming in these days
at rapid rate.
ITO the motoring public, this in
crease has a two-fold significance.
In the first place. 1t reflects in a
very clear and definite way the
amazing quality and value of the
Nash product and the demand for
this quality and value on the part of
buyers. Secondly, 1t means that the
pleasure and satisfaction of Nash
ownership are steadily being en-
HANGED by an ever increasing host of
Nash service organizations through
out the country, all of whom are
equipped to give owners a calibre of
service deserving of the car they run.
"At the present time, practically
| every important city, every town or
hamlet of any size, has Nash dealer
organization. adequately stocked
with genuine Nash parts, equipped
with efficient tools and machinery,
and manned by skilled mechanics
thoroughly familiar with all the vari-
Gus phases of Nash maintenance.
| Every distributor and dealer is
required to comply with standard
service policy, which guarantees
Nash owners everywhere uniformly
fair, courteous and businesslike
treatment. and assures them of care
full attention to all their mainten-
ance requirements"

ers correct this fault. The trouble Is
that few of them realize when this
condition exists.
Fortunately, however, anyone may
quickly determine whether he Is lab
oring under this unnecessary load on
his motor and his purse.
Here is test that anyone can make
for himself:
On a well-paved level highway, at
tain a speed of 80 miles an hour, then
shift into neutral and coast. Begin
timing your deceleration when the
speedometer shows IS miles an hour;
at the end of so seconds. your car
should still be rolling Ave miles an
hour or faster. II 1t isn't look for
dragging brakes.
A more certain test can be made,
and is well worth while. Jack up
] both rear wheels, and with the shift
lever in neutral, turn each wheel for
ward by hand, first one and then the
other. If the brakes are free the OPP
posite wheels should turn backward,
easily and evenly. Any "swishing'
sound or resistance indicates that the
brake drums are making contact with
the bands.
If the bands are too tight, readjust
them. In many cases, however, the
| dragging Is due to out-of-round
bands, which must then be trued ur
at a service station.
| Whatever the cause, correct the
fault at once. Save your brakes;
don't wear them out at the expense
of gasoline economy and perform.
ance ability. Remember that a free
running car, with quick acceleratine
powers, may often avoid a mishar
that could not be prevented by perfec,
stopping ability.
Brakes are for stopping the car
not for overlooking the engine.

Brakes Dragging? Try
Simple Rolling Test
(By G. G. Mather, Chief Engineer

(By G. c. Mather, Chief Engineer
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Coz
After you have had your brakes ad-
justed or refined is the time for an
other brake test: the danger is that In
correcting one fault you have created
another, and your brakes may be
dragging.
Fortunately. brakes don't go bad
all at once. and as they become less
and less effective the driver Just nat
urally applies them earlier and more
theoretically; however, in emergency,
he cannot stop so quickly as he
should, so that he is risking accident
as long as the brakes are not at their
maximum stopping efficiency.
The opposite fault with brakes, on
the other hand, may exist without
the drivers realizing it, though If he
did he would be just as eager to cor
| rect it as to repair bakes that fail to
stop the car efficiently. This second
fault Is dragging brakes-brakes that
are too tight. and therefore exert a
| constant drag on the engine, with a
| corresponding increase in fuel con-
sumption. On an upgrade climb, the
least drag seriously affects the per-
Torrance Of the car.
The fact that dragging brakes are
costing the driver money for wasted
! gasoline is enough to make most own

Russia Gets Lot

The last of 10000 Fordson tractors
the largest tractor order ever placed
which were purchased by Russia, have
recently been delivered to representa-
tives of the Russian Government in
New York. The entire order was filled
at the River Rouge plant of the COM
pany within period of approximate
ly seven weeks. During the time that
the Russian consignment was being
produced, tractors for domestic alb
sorption were also being manufac-
tured, as usual.
At approximately the same time as
the last ship laden with Fordsons
clears port in the United States, the
first Of the tractors which were built
on the latest order will have reached
the Russian interior. The complete
consignment will be delivered in time
for the opening of spring tillage. To-

government this new order will In

Railroads Improve
Freight Handling

George G. Conn. director OF trafiic
Of the Buick Motor. Comply, believes
that the railroads of the country made
an impressive record in minimizing
freight losses during the last year.
THE efforts being made by the rail-
roads Of the country for the quicker
and safer transportation of freight
seems to be well illustrated by the
statistics Of traffic for the Buick Mo-
tor Company in 1925" said Mr.. Conn.
"On the 56,s39 carloads Of automo-
biles shipped by Buick during the
year there were but 81 claims amount
ing to $4,000 filed by the factory for
wrecks. and of this amount one claim
was for $4,000. All of these claims
were settled before February Is Of
this year.
"The railroads as whole have ma
terially reduced the time in transit
which really means that they are
moving the cars instead Of letting
them stand in yards where incidental
switching increases the chances for
damage.
1.-THE American Railway Association,
mechanical division. prescribes certain
general rules for the proper loading
of automobiles and their safe trans
portation.
Tho Buick Motor Company, as a
result or experimental loading on its
new 1925 models, has supplemented
the requirements Of the railroads and,
as insurance for safe transportation,
goes to considerable expense for addi-
tional safety devices.
Reports have been received of &C.
cidents to carloads in transit where
cars have been derailed and the autos
found to be in perfect condition and
in their original blocking.
Keeping in mind that no manu-
facturer wishes to sell his machines
to the railroads, except in the regular
and legitimate way, 1t Is especially
satisfactory to note the more efficient
handling on the part Of the railroads
and to know that the extra precaution
used in loading and blocking has been
productive Of good results"
