VELIE IN NINE MOS. TRAVELS 28,000 MI. ON MOUNTAIN RDS. Grinding of Valves Only Expense Incurred for Entire Milage The ability of the Velle Six to negotiate all kinds of roads under handkaps in brot before dealers every day, according to Mr. McGraw, Fulletron, and distributor for Velle cars in this district, and the increasing demand for this popular car is testimonial of the service it is rendering users. One of the vivid examples of the sturdiness of the Velle is strongly exemplified in a car, recently turned back on a new one, which in the course of nine months has traveled 28,000 miles over mountains, deserts and byways, with the grinding of the valves representing the only expense for the entire mileage. The number of Velle owners in Orange county has nearly trippled, it was said, in the past year, especially in the rural district where the durability of a car at a low cost of operation is one of the prime necessities. AMERICAN ROADS SECRET OF SUCCESS In the faraway Philippines the automobile as a means of transportation is making hard competition for the railways, according to Harris Waile of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., who has just returned after two years spent in the islands. American built good roads is the answer. There are only three islands in the Philippine group with any railroads at all, and on these the highways cover a great deal more territory. All over northern Luzon are bus lines covering routes of 150 miles and more. These busses are equipped with pneumatic tires. Trucks honk back and forth between the plantations carrying sugar, hemp, copra, tobacco and passengers. In the island of Leyete an enterprising truck owner has a fleet of 62 in operation, all running on big Good- TRADESMEN ATTEND SAN DIEGO AFFAIR. Members of the Orange-co Auto Trades assn. today had visions of real jazz, following receipt of invitations from the San Diego assn. to be present at the assn. high links to be held at San Diego and Tin Juana Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 27 and 28. It is expected that a number of the tradesmen will respond. According to Harry MacPherson, automobile editor of the San Diego Sun, every member of the Orange-co assn. is going to receive free tickets to the smoker and other six-cylinder events at San Diego Saturday and the barbecue at Tin Juana Sunday. There will be a program of entertainment at Tin Juana in addition to the barbecue. Invitations to members of the county club were extended by U. S. Grant, president of the trades assn. of San Diego county. Robert Martland, secretary of the state assn., and other men prominent in the auto industry of the state are expected to be present. POOR FISH DROWN IN MINNESOTA LAKES ST. PAUL, Aug. 24.—Did you ever see a drowned fish? They say you can see lots of them at Millie Lacs, in Crow Wing county. Before you see them, you smell them. That's the word brought back by tourists who forget to take gas masks along when they traverse that region. It was this unprotected state of the nose which first brought to their attention the high rate of mortality among the poor things. "Poor things" means the fish. It means Poor Fish, to be absolutely accurate. The tourists, of course, didn't realize that drowning was responsible for the vast number of corpses lining the shores of the lake. Hardly anybody would realize that you know. For it has hitherto been looked upon as utterly impossible to drown a fish, however much you might want to get rid of him. It is commonly supposed that fish's plumbing is so arranged that he is permanently immune to the possibility or sinking for that fatal third time. And people would laugh at you (for they would have, before this remarkable disclosure.) if you suggested that American built good roads is the answer. There are only three islands in the Philippine group with any railroads at all and on these the highways cover a great deal more territory. All over northern Luzon are bus lines covering routes of 150 miles and more. These buses are equipped with pneumatic tires. Trucks honk back and forth between the plantations carrying sugar, hemp, copra, tobacco and passengers. In the island of Leyte an enterprising truck owner has a fleet of 62 in operation all running on big Good-year pneumatics. Even in Minandao, the most black-ward of the islands and largely inhabited by wild natives, many miles of good roads have been built, especially leading out from the port town of Davao. The natives will carry their hemp into market, sell it, buy a few clothes and provisions, and then have a glorious time with the rest of their earnings riding back and forth in auto buses over the macadam stretches. The Sultan of Sulu has a car or two to tour through his kingdom, although he is more apt to come into Manila where he can go farther for his money. There are about 8,000 foreigners on the islands, excluding the Chinese who do 85 per cent of the retail business. But the native Philippines are also good customers for automobiles and tires. POSTMASTERS MUST VISIT AROUND WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.—First and second class postmasters must stir around and keep abreast of the latest methods in handling mail by visiting at least three other postoffices each year. This is the gist of an order issued by Dr. Hubert Work, first assistant postmaster general, who states that as there is no appropriation available for this purpose, "such visit must necessarily be made without expense to the department." The time spent will be allowed the postmasters, in addition to their regular annual leave. It is suggested that they take advantage of regular vacations to visit other offices or to do so when in another city for any other purpose. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. BAREFOOT BURGLARS ROB ORANGE STORE Boys are blamed for a robbery at Orange when the Higgin's furniture store was entered and the cash register riffled. An amount less than $1 was taken by the youthful robbers, who today are probably having their fill of ice cream sodas. Investigation by Deputy Sheriff H. J. Zabel and City Marshal Jemison disclosed that entrance had been made thru a rear window. A screwdriver apparently was used to pry up the window, which was unfastened. Dust on the window sill showed clear imprints of corded trousers. barefoot tracks were seen behind the window. BRISCOE NEW PRICE $1085 F. O. B. Jackson, Mich. NEW PRICE $1085 F. O. B. Jackson, Mich.

That was the expression today of W. C. May, of the May Motor company, Nash distributor, as he fondly gazed at the new Nash six, sport model. Beside being an automobile dealer, May is a business man and as a businessman he be registered wonderment at how the Nash company can manufacture such a high class car, combined with it the beauty for which it is famed and place it on the market in Anaheim for $1950. When the May company unloaded a carload of machines Friday it came into possession of the latest thing in Nash class, a six-cylinder sport model in battleship gray. The new model differs only in color and one or two things from the other cars. According to May, there isn't need of much change in the present Nash. The new car is strikingly attractive and has an air of refinement and dignity with the finish of battleship gray. The front and rear seats are built for two people and each is deep and restful. It is upholstered in long grain, French platted leather and is equipped with five black wire wheels. This has been a busy week for the May Motors company, five deliveries having been made in that period. B. R. Ford, 407 West Third, purchased a four cylinder touring car.

WHAT MAKES A MAN? "Mother, what makes a man?" What would you say if your growing son asked this question? Years ago a little fellow asked his mother this question: "What makes a man?" If we were to mention his name today, many of our readers would immediately recognize the name of one who is rapidly gaining a wide reputation for being conspicuously successful in an exacting profession. His mother answered him: "A head, a heart and a backbone make a man, son." Think it over. A head, first of all; a brain to think and plan with; a mind to learn with and to teach others; the capacity, we might say, for playing the part of a man in life's battles. But a mind only does not make a man. What is a master brain without human sympathy, or a mighty intellect without a warm, heartfelt interest in our fellow-men? How far will a man get in life who has not the ability to put himself in the other man's shoes, to see things from the other fellow's viewpoint and to let his heart mellow his mind's stern judgment? We admire a man with a backbone. This is another word for will-power. Yes, square-jawed determination makes the man—if he has a mind and a heart to go with it. Think which of these qualities you lack—mind, heart or will-power. You need all three. Your ability to develop along any one of these lines is limited only by the intensity of your desire to excel.—Rural World DETROIT SAVINGS INCREASE DETROIT, Aug. 24—Move savings accounts are being increased than diminished in this territory.

Try Plain Dearler Want Ads. In Europe and America, for many years, the thought of standardization has been closely linked to the name Cadillac. The two have been almost convertible terms. Every nation has a wonder-working word. In that word is implied or expressed the special genius of its people. Is it not possible that in America that word is standardization? Standardization is a peculiarly American principle. It is the capacity to think in large volume—and execute in close, fine measurements. It is characterized by a noble bigness, on the one hand; and a scrupulous smallness, on the other. Standardization dreams large dreams—but it works them out with micrometer accuracy. It is not afraid of big figures when thinking in terms of materials, or machines, or markets, or money. But is it mortally afraid of big figures when part is fitted into part.

To the unthinking, it seems to talk in the language of the spendthrift. The initiated know that in execution it is the very essence of economy. Standardization can be applied to base ends—but, in America; it should not be. When it seeks volume alone, it is merely the apotheosis of brute force—the perpetuation of cheapness. But when standardization and quality are wed—the fruit is a product superlatively fine.
