Rerford PROTECT AMERICANS IN EVERY LAND The United States Government has an embarrassing situation to face, in dealing with the murder of American Vice-Consul Imbrie, by Persian fanatics. The Government at Washington has made very vigorous and stern representations to the Persian Government, demanding adequate monetary reparations. This country is embarrassed for two reasons: It is pacific in its attitude toward all countries, and yet it cannot let its citizens be murdered with impunity—for if Persia were let off lightly, there might be a succession of violent outrages against Americans in different countries. This country is embarrassed, too, because Persia is a small country, and this Nation does not want to appear to be coercing a small country. On the other hand, the United States cannot have its citizens outraged, even though the outrage occur in a small country. Americans must be secure in person and property, wherever they may choose to reside or travel abroad. This warning given to Persia should serve to warn all other countries in the same manner and to the same effect. The jury system in this country is not what it should be. The course of justice frequently becomes clogged because of non-agreement of juries, or verdicts which are flagrantly out of line with the law and the evidence. BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY The chums were each telling the others what had happened in their absence. "Well," said Stubby, "my story isn't much to hear. You will have a good laugh over it, I suppose, though I can assure you what happened to me was no laughing matter. "When we left here, Mr. Noland drove straight out into the country, and you must know he is a fast and reckless driver. I nearly bounced out of the car two or three times, for when he comes to a bad place in the road, instead of driving slowly he puts on more power and goes through lickety-split. As for turns and curves, I fell over on his lap every time he went around a corner. But the worst of it is he is very impatient if there is anything in the road that he can't pass. And it seemed to me I never saw so many pigs, chickens and slow-going farm wagons before. He would toot his horn, and the old farmers would not pay the slightest attention or give him one bit of the road, but just keep right on in the middle and jog along, giving us their dust. Mr. Noland would drive up close to their wagons and toot his horn until he would nearly break it. Then he would try to pass and nearly upset his machine in the deep ditches that bordered the road. But he always made it on two wheels, if not on four, and as he passed he would call out all sorts of things to the stupid old drivers. His favorite expressions were, 'Say, do you think you own the road?' and 'If you want to sleep, you better drive your old hayrack and rattling old bones to the side of the road,' or 'Now take a little of my dust and see how you like it!' And all the time he was growing madder and madder. "Consequently when we came to some cows with one of them lying straight across the road several others blocking the way as they stood across the road and several others blocking the way as they stood across the road. I hoped out to drive them out of the way. But a cow with a calf instead of running away from me I supposed she would do, took after me and I was so busy dodging her that I did not notice another cow until I ran right into her. And she quickly lowered her head and hooked me out of the road and over the fence. Now in this field was a flock of sheep quietly sleeping in the shade of a tree, an old ram with immense horns watching over them. I landed in the midst of the flock, which woke them up in a hurry and they jumped up and ran off, frightened almost to pieces at a strange dog falling in their midst. And the stupid things, instead of waiting to see if I was going to hurt them or not, all jumped up and ran baaing in all directions. (We shall have to wait till Monday to hear the rest of Stubby's story.)" TIRES ON CREDIT PAY AS YOU RIDE Small payment down, balance on easy weekly installments PARA BELL TIRES RELIABLE TIRE CO.

The arrival in San Francisco was auspicious. The car accom­panied by a large number of motor cars, bedecked with California's choicest flowers was driven to the City Hall where Mayor James Rolph received a letter from Mayor John Hylan of New York, in the presence of an enthusiastic crowd. It was then driven to the end of the Lincoln Highway where a final greeting was extended by James H. Houlihan, official representative of the Lincoln Highway Association of the West Coast. Burdened with the responsibility of upholding Ford tradition which has come to mean reliable transportation at the lowest possible cost, Ford car No. 10,000,000 one of approximately 7200 standard cars produced in a single day, performed in characteristic Ford fashion. The entire distance of a little less than 4000 miles was covered with but one minor adjust­ment and with absolutely no mechanical difficulty of any nature. Although many hundreds of miles of road, particularly through the western states and across the Rocky Mountains, are of dirt and gravel formation it is noteworthy that this, the lowest priced car built, averaged approximately 110 miles a day for the entire six weeks and was on schedule to the minute in every town visited. The trans-continental trip of the ten-millionth car has formally ended, but interest remains so keen that the car is now being routed up the Pacific coast to Portland and Seattle from which point it will be shipped by boat back to San Francisco and then driven overland to Los Angeles and probably back across the country to Detroit over a southern route.

Fourth St. NATION PROUD OF LINCOLN HIGHWAY Preparations are being made to "tell the world" that America possesses, in the ideal section of the Lincoln highway, the finest example of modern roadway construction on the face of the earth. Built with the utmost care, from the plans of a collaboration of skilled engineers, and illuminated at night in a remarkable manner by a particularly efficient highway lighting unit, it will last, in the opinion of many specialists, through the centuries, rivaling the famous roadways built by the Romans of old, although subjected to traffic weight and volume many times greater than the old Roman roads were ever called upon to sustain. The Lincoln Highway Ass'n proposes to see to it that tourists' agencies and associations of travelers and automobilists in every foreign country are made acquainted with this feat of road building. It is expected that visitors to America from abroad will come here in most instances with considerable fore-knowledge of the ideal section and as many such visitors as possible will be induced to ride over it. Great expectations are based upon the lighting of the ideal section, and eventually of the highway in general, because with the modern highway lighting unit it becomes possible to move much traffic by night, and thus relieve some of the day-time congestion. The lighting of the ideal section is afforded for 44 Novalux highway lighting units, the unit developed by illuminating engineers of the General Electric Co. about two years ago, just at the time that the actual construction of the ideal section was being laid out. The units are spaced 250 feet apart along the ideal section, which is in Lake county, Indiana, about 30 miles south of Chicago, and is about two and a half miles in length. The illumination is declared to be truly remarkable, in that the light is thrown exclusively on the roadway, leaving the country-side on either hand, fields or groves on what was once a vast expanse. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying A SMILE IN THE HEART—Glendale News If there is one thing that breeds discord in the human heart it is to have the professional optimist slap one on the back when one is feeling blue and admonish one to "smile, smile, smile." It has about the same effect that a plate of ham and eggs would have upon a man who is sea sick. Nevertheless the follow who bids us smile has the right idea although he may make a nuisance of himself. For there is virtue in a smile from every point of view. An affected smirk is disgusting, but if may be that exercising the muscles in forced smiles may make them more pliable so that real smiles will come oftener and easier. A smile from the heart breeds both health and happiness, and a hearty laugh is even better. A smile is often the badge of bravery. A smile, as they would say in the movies, often "hides a broken heart." Physical pain or mental suffering may be our lot, but the world cares little for our troubles, and the person who refuses to add to the big sum total of the misery in the world by drawing a long face and re-citing his ill-fortune is the person with real courage and fortitude. A smile that hides suffering of any kind makes the world happier and reacts upon the one who smiles. In addition to its psychological effects a smile has physical benefits, too. It is said that the muscles of the face when smiling or laughing relax the nerves and release justices that aid in digestion. A hearty laugh has a better effect than a deep breathing exercise and a digestive tonic, and is much more pleasant to take. Everyone knows that good cheer is the greatest aid to digestion and that anger, hatred, moroness and bitterness literally breed poisons in the system that interfere with digestion and other bodily functions. We all know of cases where severe illness was the result of these emotions, and if we look around we will see many evidences of the benefits of good cheer. We all love the one who smiles naturally and spontaneously and the one who laughs hearly. Some people are natural born smilers, others cultivate the art. Learn to smile for your own sake as well as that of others, but remember that a real smile is not alone of the lips. It must be bred in the heart.

The illumination is declared to be truly remarkable, in that the light is thrown exclusively on the roadway, leaving the country-side on either hand, fields or groves or whatever might be the landscape, perfectly dark. It is literally a picture of a silvery ribbon of light extending onward through the night. The peculiar construction of the lighting unit accomplishes this. There are several reflectors, one within another in the form of a parabolic nest. Said Doctor McCurdy, "Just nobody knows Why people will gamble With microbe foes. They'll drink when they're thirsty.
