This new Haynes power plant, it is stated, is a masterpleuo of engineering achievement, such as comes once In a decade. Among the many advanced and exclusive features of this new Haynes motor are the Haynes fuelizlng system which assures greater power, flexibility and acceler ation; larger valves, larger intake and exhause manifolds affording increased motor efficiency and a thermostatic eng ne heat control which regulates the temperature of the engine and as sures more perfect motor operation. Tho new 1922 Haynes 7" has a 132 Inch wheel base. The more mimed chassis provides rigidity and unfailing strength under nil road conditions.

The output of car Is very satisfactory, according to j J. Jacobson, assistant manager of the I local house, and collections during the business, as far as this section of the country is concerned. Is rapidly ap proaching a normal basis. Two counties were recently added to the territory of the Pendleton con cern, Whitman and Adams in Wash ington, and this new territory Is par ticularly appreciated by the company because the counties are geographical ly only SO miles from Spokane. That the distribution for the cars in the two counties was awarded to the Pen dleton company under the conditions of location is taken as an indication of the standing of the distributors with the Franklin company. Three new hotises are being estab lished at Baker, Lewiston. Idaho, and Colfax, Wash. One feature of the business of the Pendleton Auto Co. is that distribution as well as sales is in cluded in its activities. A carload of the popular tlemi-se-dans have just been received, and this model is proving to be very popular. One was sold lost week to J. t). Hale.

It is not sur prising that the farmer was the hard est of all to satisfy on the orice oues- ! tion. "The second price reduction of Paige cars in Juno satisfied the farm er that such prices for such a product were at bedrock, as they are. In con sequence Paige business in the farm market p.'cked up amazingly. Having satisfied the most exacting of all buy ers we naturally have reason to feel that the price question is settled to the satisfaction of the buying public, anil that they may fill their motoring needs in utmost confidence that there will be no further rapid declines in the automobile market.

I "Can you oblige me with a copy of the j burial service?" I This remarkable message was re iccived by the wireless operator on the ICunard liner Carmania from a freight steamer 200 miles away, while the liner was about 300 miles west of Kastnct bound for Liverpool. The message was despatched from tho Canadian Trapper, in which a fireman had died on the voyage, from Montreal to London. The wireless operator in the Cur-1 I mania, which proceeded on ncr way i at full speed, tapped out the service, word by word, In group message of 150 words. Passengers on the liner, unaware of tho incident, were engaged in all man ner of ways while the crew of the freight steamer stood bareheaded on Heck mourning the loss of a comrade. The dictation lasted an hour, and when the last tape had been read out by the captain of the Canadian steam er the body of the dead fireman was lowered into tho sea.

And yet to the visiting American, Paris Is the same old playground of the world that it was in the old days. Nothing is permitted officially to jar one seeing Paris on parade.

They are the professional hangers-on. A gigelot approaches the wife of the American when she skips a dance, and asks if he can have the next. At its finish he expects a few francs. ! A few months ago a story was print led in American papers that a French government official had decreed that I women in French revues should wear j more clothes. Probably he is on a va I cation, hocause in two revues the en- lire appatel of the chorus could be placed in a tiny pockctbook. This sort of thing quickly palls on the Ameri can. In the case of revues, it is, see one, seo all. Paris is filled with Russian actors, Russian dancers Russian singers, Russian noblemen und Russian radi cals. The Russian vaudeville show at the Femina theater is the best on the continent and has taken Paris by storm, the great h.t bing the march of the "Wooden Soldiers."
