THERE are those who consider this brilliant
| expression, but to me it's the devils own
philosophy A member of my staff found this
picture in an old German cartoon book and It
brought to my mind the above verse-an eN-
preston which would seem to indicate that man
is little better than tool of circumstance.
can imagine this-or something like twas
being whispered by the devil as he leaned with
sinister intent over the weary form of man
trying to get along in this world, digging po'
tatoes for food
NO MAN SHOULD WORK JUST TO GET
MONEY TO BUY FOOD!
Work should be insprational, something
which gives pleasure, and 1t should leave man
with a feeling of having done something fine
and something of which he can be proud That
it brings with it the daily necessities is merely
an added pleasure. AS a matter Of fact, 1t Is
right and Just that the worker should be able
to iive-and live beau:ifully-from the pronts
of his labor but when this work becomes
merely a means to an end, life will be hard
to take!
1t may be that many people are not able
to find the thing which gives them pleasure
yet they must live-then they can seek the
right thing-and even this seeking can be in
spiratonal. A college youth does not mind the
scrubbing of floors or waiting on tables BE-
CAUSE HE SEES IN IT A WAY TO GAIN
HIS OBJECTIVE
1T is NOT FOOD BUT DREAMS WE NEED!
| If man follows his dreams he will find the
food. The world has always place for the
sincere one who holds high aim and honor
able goal but no spot in the footlights is re-
served for the podder who grumbles at his
tasks.
There must be something you want to do, and
if so-SIT DOWN AND VISUALIZE THE
THING ACCOMPLISHED! Let the passion to
achieve this thing dominate your life, let IT
color your daily work and conversations let it
control the things you read and the people you
seek as companons-in short, live it, breathe
it, eat it and sleep with it! If you do this you
will attract all the things necessary to bring
it into your life as reality
We are told that when Washington was only

GENERAL MOTORS TO
BUILD SMALL TRUCK
Factory to Start Producing
New Units Soon,

Dealer demand for a light deliv-
cry vehicle from the General Motors
Truck Co. factory at Pontiac, Mich,
has resulted in the announcement
that high quality one-half ton
unit is about to go into production.
The announcement was made to-
day by j. P. Little. vice president in

accommodates bodies more than
seven feet in lengtil-the longest in
the industry, it is claimed. The
engine is built to assure economy of
operation and smooth performance
Improved, weather. proof hydraulic
brakes make stopping quick and sure
upon an easy pressure of the brake

SPECIAL BODY
EQUIPPED With
invalid CHAIR
Plymouth Develops Novel
Feature for Seattle
Distributor.
Times Special

1tmeS Sp6Ctdt
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 8. -
"Shut-ins' who are permanently or
temporarily confined to wheelchairs
need no longer be denied the
pleasures of safe, comfortable
motoring.
Engineers of the Plymouth Di-
vision of Chrysler Corp. working
with designers for a Pasadena body
building firm have developed a new
Plymouth sedan equipped with a
built-in invalid chair, which can be
rolled into and out of the car with
out disturbing the chairs occupant.
Ordered by a Seattle distributor for
an invalid who enjoys motoring out
must be confined to wheel chair,
the new car was produced in the
Plymouth West Coast assembly
plant.
The rigicl construction of Plym-
outh's safety-steel body made it
possible for engineers to design the
special sedan without center door
post on the right side. This feature
provides the extra width necessary
to permit the special chair to be
moved into the car on a pair OF
grooved rails attached to the Cal
doorsill. Four small auxiliary
wheels, which fit into the grooveo
rails, are lowered by lever in the
chairs back.
Once the chair has been rolled
into position beside the drivers
seat, it is clamped securely into po-
sition. When out of the car, il
can be rolled easily from place &c
place on a conventional set OF
pneumatic tired wheels.

ECONOMY MARK
SET BY GRAHAM
SUPERCHARCER
t
'CannonbalP Baker Gets 28
Miles a Gallon on
1926 Mile Trip.

Driving a Graham Supercharger
"Cannonball' Baker, veteran race
driver of Indianapolis, shattered an
other fuel economy record today
with an average of 28.74 miles per
gallon for the 1926 miles between
New York and Miami, Fla, accord
ing to dispatch received by Robert
c. Graham, executive vice president
of Graham-Paige Motors Corp,
from Glen Perry, automobile editor
of the New York Sun, who acted as
official observer. News of the feat
was sent Doc B. Wiles, head of Wiles
81 Wilson Motor Service, Inc, local
Graham distributors.
in his official log of the tour Mr..
Perry. declared that the supercharg-
er battled icy, slippery and muddy
roads in its southwark trek. Detours
and strong head winds were con-
tributing obstacles, he said.
Starting with sealed gasoline
tank from the New York end of the
Holland Tunnel" Mr.. Perry's report
read in part, "the 1926 miles to Mi
ami was traversed in four main
jumps, New York to Raleigh, N. c.,
a distance of 5118 miles at an aver
age of 1872 miles per gallon. Raj
eigh to Savannah, 1866 miles, aver
aging 1913 miles per gallon. Sa-
vannah to Titusville, Fla, 3032
miles, averaging ESQ miles per gall
Ion and Titusville to Miami, 2144
miles, averaging 329 miles per gall
Ion.
THE low average on the Savan-
nah to Titusville jump was due to
strong headWinds, and the fact that
the Supercharger was running
through swamp districts, lower than
sea level, with consequent heavy at
mosphere"
Mr. Bakers first economy victory
with the Supercharger was made
from Chicago to New York. He
averaged 1858 miles to the gallon
for 853 miles. In commenting on
the second feat, Mr.. Graham de-
clared that the economy factors in
herent in the Graham Supercharger
shared honorS with Mr.. Bakers
skillful handling of the car.

TRUCK RECORD
IS ESTABLISHED
HauIS Pay Load Across
Country at Low Cost
a Mile,

In the first transcontinental truck
run ever held under the sanction Of
the contest board of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, q
Chevrolet 112-ton truck hauling a
semi trailer with a five-ton pay
load, and driven by Harry Hartz,
famed for his speedway records,
demonstrated the economy of safe
driving, according to E. w. Berger,
indianapolis zone manager for the
Chevrolet Motor Co.
Covering 3511 miles between Los
Angeles and New York City, the
Chevrolet delivered a 10,000-pound
cement block at a cost of less than
one-third OF a cent a ton mile. The
distance was covered on 3086 GAL
Ions of gasoline, and with the addi-
ton of only two quarts of oil to
the crankcase, or a total cost of
$56.26. The gasoline mileage was
1878 gallon.
The truck left Los Angeles Dec.
10, and arrived in New York Jan. 3.
Actual running time was 129 hours
% minutes, an average speed for
the entire trip of 2714 miles an
hour.
The test was conducted under A.
A. A. sanction No. $500, and the Off
cial certificate issued by the A. A.
A. contest board certifieS that the
truck was standard in every respect.
The figures are from the report of
the contest board, establishing them
as official records for the run.
Stanley Reed, official of the A. A.
A. contest board, accompanied Hartz
and in his report supplied the con-
test board with the records on which
the figures for distance and econ
omy are based.
The run was arranged by Chevro-
let Motor Co. as a demonstration of
the benefits of safe driving as a
means of promoting economy in
truck operation. Legal speed limits
and all traffic regulations of the
states and municipalities along the
route were observed, and the speed
was never permitted to exceed IS
miles an hour.
The truck used in the run was
picked from the Chevrolet assembly
line at Flint by Eric Won Hanback,
and Stanley Reed, official represent
atives of the A. A. A. They inlmedi-
ately checked the truck itself to
certify that it was of standard con-
struction, covering such items as
bore and stroke, gear ratio, carbu-
rotor, cooling system. etc. They then
sealed the engine and chassis and
affixed locks to the gasoline tank
and crankcaSe.

That this neglect not only endan-
gers the mechanical efficiency of the
car, but will also make the car
harder to start and more difficult
to operate, is pointed out in the
bulletin, which says:
oils for summer use are made
heavy in body SO that they will re-
main efficient at high temperatures
which tend to make oil become too
thin. If left in the crankcase during
the cold season, such oils may be-
come too thick and fail to circulate
properly to moving parts. This may
be the source of hard starting trou-
bleS and Invariably means excessive
engine wear. All manufacturers of
lubricants recommend particular
grades of oil for different seasons
and these recommendations should
be followed if the driver wishes to
insure the satisfactory and efficient
operation of his car"
1t is often the case that the mo-
florists allow too long an interval
between crankcase DRAWINGS. the
bulletin continues. This also is
apt to be the cause of serious motor
trouble and costly repairs. Even the
best grades of oil, containing min
imum of decomposable natural i'm
purltieS, become contaminated dur
ing the course of operation. Water,
gasoline, road dust and minute
metal particles are the most COM
mon causes of oil contamination.
Water in the crankcase is caused
by condensation of water vapor in
the cylinders. 1t should be remem-
bered that for every gallon of gas
oline that is burned, more than
pound of water is produced which
normally finds its way out through
the exhaust. In winter, when the
motor is operating at low tempera-
lures, this vapor condenses in the
cold cylinders and seepS down into
the crankcase, diluting the OIL" the
bulletin states
Just as diluted oil is inefficient,
so is dirty oil inefficient and harm
full to the car, according to the bull
letin. Dirt is an engines worst
enemy, it can grind down moving
parts almost as efficiently as
emery. Minute particles of road
dust, and metal from bearing, ring
and cylinder wear, find their way
into the oil and cause trouble. The
use of the proper grade of oil, and
recognition of the Importance Of oil
change, will do much to prolong the
life Of the car and make winter
driving more pleasant"
