Official announcement has 'just
been made by the Haynes Automobile
Company, Kokomo, Indiana, of the
new 1 922 Haynes "5, equipped with a
newly-developed, big, powerful Haynes
built engine. 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. A
fnrque arm to takn thu driving and
breaking strain, and Internal and ex-

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.

"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.

again; yes, monsieur, but it is not the i
Paris of before the war." said the wife !
of the Boulevard des Italiens banker.
"The crowds flocking to the mo
distes, and jewelry shops of the Rue
de la Paix are not the uristocratic set
seen there a few years ago, but are the
bourgeois of Lyon, Marseilles and oth
er places In the provinces, new rich,
who made tremendous fortunes in the
war.". . . .. - .
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. Even the
beggar is barred from the boulevards.
Out on the Bois in the afternoon
the tea places are crowded as never
I before. American tunes and Amerl-
jcan bands, and wiggling, twisting and!
j turning that must have come via the!
j Argentine, A couple reaches a spot!
on the flcor and five minutes later
they have not progressed more than I
1 10 feet. The women are wonderfully j
dressed, with the smartest of hats,
j bracelets about their ankles, and)
! dresses which w ould make Ziegfeld j
weep with envy.
j Many of the men dancing are gige
Jlols professional tango lizards with!
spats, sharply-creased trousers, col-1
ored waistcoats and I'Uadilly morning
coats. 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." It is com
ing to Pioadwny next season.

Stop Letting Rims Abuse Your Tires!
1 Federals exceed in mileage because
none of their wear is needlessly
wasted by rim-chafe.
Federals alone have the Double-Cable-Base
those four staunch
cables of twisted steel about wluch
you have read so much. Thesa
cables anchor the tire solidly against
the rim and prevent rim-cuts,
blow outs just above the rim, tube
pinching, etc. There's real economy
in using Federal Tires. A trial will
convince you.
