"General indications point towards
healthy prosperous year. This wave
!, prosperity has already started in
,L east, and is gradually moving
westward," writes H. Press, adver
T:. mutineer of the western Auto
Supply -company, in a cheery letter he
sends out. Boosting for a national
.,sniritv year," ho tells of the new
automobile stickers on that subject
He savs:
Because of the few minor set
bocks which we in the west have had
in 1824, the buying public of this sec
tion of' the country have permitted
k.m.plres to lapse into a pessimis
tic state of mind. Adverse trivial
conditions loom up n&o jhuuuimiuh,
While in this frame of mind, -the buy
:., nublic is blind to the favorable in
dentions which appear upon the busi
nosR horizon.
"It is our contention that while in
this mental state, the general public
will lose slgut oi me opportunities
which will present themselves in the
rv near future. The' buying pub
lic will not appreciate the coming of
good times, because they will not lie
prepared for them and will not be
ready to make the most of the fav
orable conditions which ore on our
threshold.
"Working on this theory, the West
em Auto Supply company has had
printed a quantity of windshield
tickers. You will note that the
thought we desire to get over is that
lfll!5 is a prosperous year. The Na
tional colors are used red, white
and blue. We believe that if we can
get a sufficient number of these
ttickcrs on the windshields of automo
biles and on store windows it would
have a certain psychological effect
upon the minds of the buying public
and it would maKe tnem tmna pros
perity and place them in a more re
centive frame of mind.
"We realize this is a tremendous
undertaking and that in order for this
campaign to be successful, in order
for it to have the desired psycho
logical effect, we need the support
of all newspapers. Understand us,
please. AVo do not ask for public
ity in connection with this campaign.
What we do need and appeal for is
that this-subject of prosperity be giv
en publicity.
ihis is not a one man or a one
organization undertaking. In order
to have the desired effect in the
community, the campaign if pros
perity must receive the concerted ef
fort ond attention of evory civic body
every merchant and every individual
"These stickers are on hand at the
' Western Auto Supply company in
your city. AVe will be glad to furnish
free as many as you need.
Gasoline Service
Shows Improvement
"Until very recently when a motoi
1st drove up to a gasoline pump, be
would have to run into a garage or
ring a boll in order to get the atten
tion of the man in charge, says E.
i. Ourney of the Aero Oil company.
, ''Even then, ho received R-ftnolInc, aim
that only none of the 'little touches
of attrntion which he ia shown by the
dealers of today. He now finds that
a smiling attendant greets him, and
every mark of courtesy and attention
as shown him.
"The General Petroleum corpora
tion is very much pleased with the
remarknhle evolution mhde by the
independnnt dealers displaying the
Kreen-and-white signs," Mr. Giirney
states. "The corporation has always
hei'n very particular in the choice o
its nVnlors, and only selected those
who were cnpnble and willing to give
the best of Rervice. As a result of
our care, we have a orpa of dintribu
tors who we are willing to back to
the limit, and they in turn are alwayt
romly to back our products.
"A great improvement in the neat
npss and general appearance of the
pnsotine Rtahons may also be uoticei
by the motorist of today."
Fishing Birds

have taught cormorants to fish for

birds prevent them from swallowing
the fiph they catch in the sea glades.
The fishermen control the birds with
long cords.
Banking Cooperation
Essential
To Farming Sucoess
A farmer should
mnke a good profit
on his investment plus
good wages for hi
work. Yes, that's easy
to say and hard to do,
yet in spite of all dif
ficulties, quite a few
farmers do it. Besides
hia own funds nearly
every enterprising
farmer needs the use
of extra working capi
tal. This he gets
through his account
and acquaintance with
a bank such as ours.
We understand the
problems of a farmer
as a producer and as
a merchant, and wc
help to solve them
with a sensible kind
f bonking cooperation.

All the thrills of riding on a magic
carpet were furniahed by th trial
trip of the Star car owned by Reg
Beairstq straight up the south side
of Skinner's butte early last Satur
day afternoon. The car was driven
by liugh Winder of the Tvane auto
company. Accompanying him were
Margaret Sknvlnn, reporter for The
Guard, and L. J. ("Shorty") Harris
and W. A. Mast, both of the service
department of the auto company.
They were accompanied par. of the
way by E. W. Ellis, making five in
the car at one time. The trip was
made in spite of the rnin on the pre
vious night, and Saturday's showers,
up concrete steps at a 28 per cent
incline, and on up the face of the
butte..
Stock Model Used
The enr used for this feat is a Star
standard stock model with a gear
ratio of 4 and seven-eighths to one,

the steepest part of the grade with
the entire party, the trip being made 1
in one minute and 30 seconds. j
A similar trial trip was made by
Mr. Winder and Jerry Valentine,
salesman for the Lane auto company,
earlier in the week at Oakrldge. The
grades on the Oak ridge hill back of
the schoolhouae are 20, 24, 20, 83
and 4-1 degrees, and were made by
the Star car with comparative ease.
A large crowd watched the demon
stration trip, made up a steep em
bankment to the Johnson resevoir at
the top of the hill at a good speed.
The hill Is so steep that water from
j the reservoir has a fire-fighting pres
i sure of 170 pounds. The same per
formance was repeated several times
with no danger of overturning, even
when a figure-eight was done on the
HS per cent grade. Photographic
views for the United Press and the
Onkridge Review were taken while
the car was performing several
stunts.
Stopping and starting tbe Star on
a 44 per cent grade caused much com

WASHINGTON, April 4. Russes
used by electric railways in the
United States increased by 29 per
cent in the last 10 mouths.
With this declaration, executives
of the electric railway field in this
country subscribed here to the feasi
bility of bus operation In connection
with, or in addition to, interurban rail
trnffic.
According to the executive commit
tee of the American Electric Railway
association:
"There is a place for the bus in
transportation as an auxiliary of or
supplement to and, in some instnuccs,
substitute for electric lines."
As an example of the rapid strides
in the bus passenger field, two de
velopments in this form or transpor
tation have just been reported. New
lork is planning to grant franchise
for fi7 bus routes in the city, which
would make it -the first city in the
world In motor bus passenger trans
portation. The second development is that of
f.eavenworth, Kns., which has joined
the ranks of trolley-less cities. All
of the city's trolley service has been
suspended and five . 2H-passenger
busses are providing the local trans
portation facilities.
Pedestrian Shown
Right way to Walk
(By NEA Service)
WASHINGTON, April 4. Now the
ncdestrian is shown how to walk!
For his own safety, the American
Automobile, association has hurl
plan drawn up telling him just how
to cross tho street, on what sidewalk
to walk and how to avoid the danger
noint in traffic.
According to studies conducted by
the A. A. A., the safe sido of the
street for pedestrians ia the left aide,
or the 'one on which ho faces the
traffic coming toward him on the
same side. This is truo also on coun
try hiehways.
By walking on the left side, the
pedestrian has a clear view of ve
hicles nppronching him.
The safe way to cross to a diagonal
corner is by going to the left, instead
of the right. This line gives the big
gest range of approaching vehicles,
especially those making a right-hand
turn.

and easy parking. Besides, such a
car would be attractive, reasonable 1
in price, and of assured durability and
dependability. .
Requirements
To produce such a car, Chase sug
gests thfse improvements:
1. Engines capable of high torque
at relatively low speed and with high
fuel economy.
2. Gearless, or continuous-torque,
transmission infinitely and automati
cally variable.
3. Much lighter axles or their re
placement by flexiblo members that
form pnrt of the suspension system.
4. Considerably lighter frame.
Body Needs
5. Effective and long-wearing
brnkes. perhaps for all wheels.
0. Easily detachable tires, giving
maximum riding comfort.
7. Lightweight, noiseless, enclosed
body, with comfortable adjustable re
for protection from the Joy-rl-tog gas
house gang in a Sunday Jam.
A spring bar will absorb more shock
than a rigid bar. Freaky designs at
tract attention but they don't pro
tect. A curved end on the bumper
bar to deflect blows is also approved.
That tho bumper should be just long
enough to protect fenders and not
so long as to hinder close work at
the curbstone and in traffic, in an
other important rule of 'bumping eti
quette. To avoid embarrassment in traffic
bumps, select a bumper of right
height tho standard approved by the
Socioty or Automotive Engineers.
Then bumpers on other cars mot in
traffic cannot slip over yours and
cause damage.

It but more attention to bumper
equipment will mean less trouble and
decidedly more pleasure In tho use of
the motor vehicle.
