Mechanics School is
Opened for Motorists
Even thoush t is not organized
as a Public Educational institution
but more as an adjunct of an ex
tensive customer service plan, the
Hai ley-Davidson Motorcycle Me
chanics School at Milwaukee has
acquired considerable tame and
distinction. Fifteen states and
Canada are represented by the 26
students taking the course, at the
present time. G. A. Seagrave. of
Cxbridge, Mass., is in attendance
upon instructions from the district
vocational office of the United
States government at Worcester,
Mass. Numbered in the last class
were students from England and
France. Six or eight courses are
held each winter and an average
of 26 men from all parts of the
country attend each separate session.
The present tendency of i ho j
autoinobil e buying public seems i
to be toward the lighter cars. '
Fays O. B. Gingrich of the Gin- j
ulch Motor & Tire company. The
increased costs of operation ,
through the purchase of gasoline, j
tires ami oil. coupled with the !
greater depreciation on the higher'
I'tic'd and heavier cars has had!
the effect of influencing the auto-
mobile pur-chaser to procure some-
thing whiefe will not only give the 1
maximum mileage on gas, oil and j
tires, but will also have less de-I
preciaMon when he go s to mak-j
a trade in a year or two. I
It cannot he denied that the
average owner dsires to trade a? j
soon as his car loses its original '
finish and lustre which, in most
instances, extends over a t)?riod '
not exceeding two years. Records
r ou!d indicate that &0 per cent
of the cars sold are on trades for
fars that have been in oneration
not exceeding two years; also.
that 90 per cent of all cars sold
are rats which weigh Jess than
0ft pounds. This is indicated in
our own business by the fact that
the greatest nercentaee of cars
old by us has been our Maxwell
line, and next the Hupmobile.
which, in economy of operation
and weight, is next to the lighter
car. the Maxwell, of our lines. We
find that the desire of the auto
mobile purchaser today is for a
car that will average from IS to
24 miles on a gallon of gasoline.

a depreciation annually from $l-r0

The Maxwell company manufactures only one sized truck, which is the m-ton size
because that is the average sired load throughout the United Stales and it seems to fit al
most every purpose. It has a 2Vx ton rear end, made by the Tlmkin Co.. with the worm

THIS IS THE ONE CAR that Is 100 per

ay a word against it. There will again
be a shortage of Hups this year, as it is
the only factory that never slacked a
wheel for even a day, so place your order
early If you want a Hup this year. We
now take trades on Hupmoblles so long
we can get cars.

For several centuries Heacham.

close to Sandringham. was th in
heritance of the ancient family
of Rolfe. from whom it has only
lately departed. With a single !
exception, the Rolfes made no i
great noise in the world, but with
that one exception probably,
every schoolboy, certainly every
schoolgirl is familiar.
It was John or Thomas; there
is some doubt about the Christian
name a cadet of the house, who
distinguished himself by marry
ing the beautiful Princess Poca
hontas, daughter of the powerful
King Powhatan, the great redskin
chief of Virginia, whose relations
with the English settlers were not
always harmonious. The young
lady appears to have had a liking
for the intruding palefaces, for
she befriended Henry Spelman.
also a Norfolk man, and 'he re
doubtable Capt. John Smith, like
wise an East Anglian, ha left it
on record that the "blessed Po
cahontas." as he called her, 'oft
saved my life."
She is said to have been in lov
with Captain Smith, but it was
Rolfe whom she married in 1613.
when she was 19. He brought
her. to England somewhat later,
hut our climate killed her after
three years of marriage, and she
was buried at C.ravesend. where
she died on the eve of her return
to America. They had an only
daughter, who has left many de
scendants in America and some in
Entrland.
Hoacham Hall is a vry early
Georgian hous". although it is
likely enough that it may preserve
vestiges of an earlier building.
Heacham. which is now the prop
erty of C. E. Strachan. has an
prea of 1 750 acres and possesses

house itself is a typical Georgian
place of the less splendid and
more comfortablie type, with many
