' Washington, sept. 24. uncle Bam', despite the huge battleships slipping off the ways and Joining other huge ships making up the second largest navy afloat, Is a "little navy man." In this respect he probably owng one of the best "little navies In the world, literally speaking. ' This navy la little, In all senses of the. word, yet Is a model navy, too. In fact, it Is made up of model ships models of perfection of detail and models of the largest ships that make up the real United mates Navy. It Is not generally known, expect to Washington tourists perhaps, that for generations back every ship In the American navy was represented by small-scale counterpart, beautifully made. These small models have accu mulated and today from an Interest lnf study in the development of ship- 1 - . 1.. ........ n ,.nlnn1n U )HnSt 114k VIM HUH, imiOl ... irumv " "but from the angle of the student of marina architecture. In fact, so valua bl are these models as concrete Illus trations of the advance in the science of. shipbuilding that they are often requisitioned by cities far - away -for .'temporary use as group studies In that subject. Just at present a number of the models, are scattered In repre sentative groups about the public- buildings of Washington as historical exhibits. Cost ltuns High Apiece The miniature navy is well repre sented In the Navy Department build Ings. where the models are a never ending source of Interest to all visit ors. TheBe models are In some respects much more than small replicas. Many of them are as large as a good-sized rowboat and cost several thousand dollars to construct. They are now made at the Washington Navy yard, and the later models now under con struction, which are exact reproduc tions of the latest type of battleship Rein built for the Navy, will require months to complete. They ore scaled to proportion and complete to the smallest screw. Necessary to Progress There Is a very practical reason for this phase of naval construction. These models often serve as valuable guides to naval designers, who can get much more out of a brief examina tion of a scaled model than they could out . of a mass of figures and draw ings, which constitute, the average ships plans. In fact, before every big ship Is built a wooden hull, scaled on the proportions of the contemplated vessel, is first made and tried out In the model basin of tho Navy yard here. From this preliminary trial It Is possible to determine approximately the merits or objections to the deBign and calculate in advance what tho m. m Marshall Nellan wanted some scenes for "BiU of Life' photographed in Hongkong. China. Instead of sending a cameraman there ne caoico directions U China and the scenes were pbotograjihecl accordingly. WJJMsji WHY WE ARE OVERSOLD For the past 30 days the sale of GATES SUPER TREAD TIRES has exceeded the factory capacity, run ning 24 hours a day. . , The reason is that this tire with its wider, thicker rubber tread is delivering more miles than any other tire we have ever seen on the road. This extra mile age is making; a lot of friends for GATES SUPER TREAD TIRES and we are not surprised that the fac tory is oversold.

In the designing room of the department itself is kept detailed models of the standard types of capital and special ships of the world, from which the de signers can get ideas and concrete il lustrations of plans. Of the completed models now on hand the Navy has replicas, varying from a foot or two to twelve feet and more, of every type of war vessel from the old-time frigate Vermont, a square-rigged, 110-gun ship of 1812, to the latest airplane carrier. In between are battleships of the Maine type, de stroyers from first to latest design, sub-chasers, all classes of submarines, gunboats end special service " ships. All in all they constitute a highly valuable "little navy." E' t i f X X X X t t t t I double Cable Base 'III PARIS, Sept. 24. (A. P.)

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 which you have read so much. These 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.

GUARANTEED AUTOM011UJ3 ItEPAHUNG RUDY TANNLER Service Car Day and Night Shop phone, 870 Residence 485-W 518 Willow SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24. (I. N. S.) The ears of some pretty war department stenographer must have burned very red recently if she was cognizant of the remarks being di rected aJ her from the lips of gruff army officers, ruffled non-coms and amused privates. It all came about through the re ceipt at the local Presidio of the fol lowing telegram from the war depart ment at Washington: 'Be prepared to receive ten car loads of army children now on their way to San Francisco. Will arrive about August 25." The order came to Colonel Osman Latrobe, chief of the education and recreation branch of the Ninth Corps Area of the army, and threw that as tute warrior Into a conniption fit. "Fighting Julius Caesar! What arc wo going to do with "cm?" groaned Colonel Latrobe.. Summoning Lieutenant Harry G. Dowell, his aide, and Miss Anna Sas sel, his secretary, the E. and R. chief asked for facts nnd figures as to what could be done with that many kiddies. There Was a wild skirmishing to find how many buildings would be available at the post for nurseries, how many baby carriages could be had on immediate demand, and how much milk nnd cream the army dairy could furnish In a pinch. Then the colonel wired Washington: "Please furnish approximate ages of children Included in ten-cnrload lot. Are they accompanied by nurses?'' The answer nn ived: "Make 'chil dren' read 'paraphernalia.' Mistake due to stenographer's error." So the colonel is commandeering Warehouses instead of nurseries. The "paraphernalia" means athletic sup-j plies nnd books' for the army schools which will be opened by the E. and It. department throughout the Ninth , TPiprnn on X NOW S115U Uhy Studoboher can sell th LIStlT-Slil af tho now low prico The LIGHT-SIX is built complete in the most modern automobile plant in the world, de signed especially for the production of this car. Studebaker manufactures in this plant its own drop forgings; its own castings, stampings, motors, axles, transmissions; its own steering gears, springs, bodies, tops and other vital parts. Under these favorable manufacturing condi tions and because of its enormous production and standardized methods of manufacture, Studebaker is able to make important savings these savings are reflected in the price o the car to you. The LIGHT-SIX is a real step forward in au tomobile engineering. No other light, six cylinder automobile yet produced has a mo tor so free from vibration, nor so flexible and powerful. What you should know about the LIGHT-SIX power 40 H. P. in a detachable-head motor of great flexi bility, remarkably free from vibration, and with the exclusive Studebaker inclined valve feature. Economy 18 to 22 miles to tho gallon 12,000 to 18,000 miles on tires. Balance You could cut the LIGHT-SIX in two parts or four parts and find that each section would weigh the same. Such perfect balance means steady road-holding there is no sldo sway or creeping. Comfort Equul distribution of weight means easy riding and easy handling. The touch of one hand on the steering wheel is sufficient to keep it on the road. See this car drive it test it. You will be won by it. You will understand why it is the Studebaker ideal of what a light, six-cylinder car should be. WALLACE BROS. NEW TRICES OF STUDEBAKER CARS f. o. b.
