time. 1t is not too early
to think of the tourists who
shortly will be flocking to
our community. Meanwhile,
It IS high time we bestirred
ourselves and made prepare
tions for them. The visitor
Is impressed by the things he
sees. Unsightly, Imprinted
buildings; unpaved, unrepair-
ed streets; dirty, ugly sur
roundings - these are the
things that make lasting in-
pressions. Let us take care
and heed now that these
things will not greet the
visitor.
Miracles can be achieved by
judicious use of good paint.
We can mend broken win
dows. We can repaint roofs.
We can reburbish store fronts.
We can clean out the accumu-
lations that persist in some
store entrances, empty and
otherwise. In short, we can
"fix up our several prop
critics, our homes, and the en-
tire community to make it
represent what we want it to
be. The. visitor who calls
today may possibly be the
permanent investor and resi-
dent tomorrow. Let's make
it our task to give them the
best possible in vi t a t i o n.
Springtime still is cleanup
time.
OLYMPIA suggestions that
" the tolls on the new Mar
rows bridge will be less than
the old ferry rates, will meet
a hearty response. We trust
the information on that score
becomes official. If there is
one thing that will mitigate
against the expected large
gains from completion of the
bridge, it is that of heavy
tolls for use of the structure.
Traffic will not be avail
able in the volume desired if
the tolls are too heavy. Water
ordinarily does not travel up
hill. Neither does auto traffic
deliberately choose the most
expensive route. Quite the
contrary. Cheap tolls over
the bridge will mean increased
business. Increased business
will permit still further cuts
IN tolls. We should never
under any circumstances per-
init tolls to be so high that
they will stifle business.
q h aper rates will boost
volume-and revenue. Let's
not lose sight of that fact.

truck sales figures for the second 10
days of March.
The increase totalled 55.8 per cent
over the same period last month, total
sales being $3.50, William E. Holler,
general sales manager, announced.
New car sales gained 23.4 per cent
over the first 10 days of March, he
said.
The period showed 3S.5 per cent
gain over the second 10 days of March
1889, when 9,3O3 fewer units were re-
tailed.
Used car sales also showed a strong
upward trend, with a gain of 1852 per
cent over the comparable period last
year, a total of 1888 used cars being
retailed. Used car sales for the Sec
ond period of the month also surpass-
ed the showing made during the first
10 days. with a gain of 3O.4 per cent
over the 4O,528 used cars sold during
that period.

SCIENCE SHOWS
BEER DRINKING
IS HEALTHFUL

Louis Pasteur, who revolutionized
medical and surgical science, made his
first important discovery while work
ing in brewery in France, the Mary
land Brewers Institute has learned.
1t was while thus engaged that he
found evidence of his new theory OF
germ diseases and later the data
which led to the use Of preventative
medicine.
Commenting on this, the distin-
guished English physician, Sir James
Crichton-B Browne, President of the
True Temperance Scientific Commit
tee of Great Britain said: at was his
studies on beer that were the turning
point in Pasteur's career, and led
him straight to that study OF infec-
tious diseases which has branched out
so broadly and beneficiently."
Another scientist who found need of
assistance to the human race is DR..
Clarence w. Lieb, of New York, au-
thor of "Eat, Drink and Be Merry,
who terms beer "The King of Drinks"
The Queen of Foods" He finds
beer an excellent medium for the ad-
ministration of water-"that greatest
of eliminators, Of which most of us
drink too little"

Bell, Allegany guard and captain

DOLLARS SPENT
FOR AUTOMOBILES
INCREASE POWER

Dollars spent for automobiles to-
day have greater buying power than
at any time in the history of the bust
ness, asserts d. E. Ralston, general
sales manager for Oldsmobile.
"Many factors contribute to this
condition." said Ralston, "and UNI
doubtedly the most important is the
effort and progress made by the in
dustry ITSELF" he added. each year,
great sums are expended to devise
ways of building bigger and better
automobiles that can be retailed for
less money. New machinery, new
manufacturing methods to improve
quality as we'll as increase production
have been the result of years of con-
slant research and study. The bene-
fits Of this research have, in all cases,
been relayed to the retail buyers.
Noteworthy examples of greater car
value are found in the Oldsmobile Of
ferings for the current year and for
comparative purposes it is interesting
to consider the 1910 Oldsmobile Series
Sixty four-door touring sedan and its
predecessor, the 1920 Oldsmobile four
door sedan.
"Our Series Sixty car has an over
all length of 1877 ga inches and a
wheelbase of 116 inches. 1t weighs
300 pounds, has six cylinders that
develop 95 horsepower and sells for
$500 delivered in Lansing. Our 1920
Oldsmobile model of comparable type
had an overall length of 164 1-2 inch
es on a wheelbase Of 112 inches. This
car weighed 2729 pounds and had a
six cylinder engine that developed A
horsepower, but motorists paid $19-
95 for this sedan delivered at the fac
tory.
"The advertised price of our 1910
Series Sixty four-door sedan includes
safety glass, chrome window reveals,
bumpers, spare wheel, tire and tube,
dual trumpet horns, dual windshield
wipers, vacuum booster pump and two
sun visors. In our 1920 car the price
of $1995 did not include the bumpers
or spare time and tube-they were
$50 extra.
"The value comparison does not end
here, however. The 1910 Oldsmobile
features an all steel turret top body,
super-hydraulic brakes, an all-silent
syncro-mesh transmission with handi-
shift gear control within easy reach
of the steering wheel, quadricoil
springing with Away sterilization,
knee-action and steel wheels designed
for maximum safety. The down.
draft carburetor, the engine driven
fuel pump and automatic choke are
among additional features we take for
granted today. Also accepted as stan
dafd equipment are the scores of COM
fort and safety features offerd on
current model cars.
compared to the bodies on cars in
1920, which were made of wood frame
