Since automobileswere ftrst built DIM) different American built cars have appeared on the American' market. Of these thirtysix are built by twenty-one manufacturers. Oldsmobile is the oldest car name among the survivors. It was started in 1897 and nanttSd after Hansom K.. Olds,, who later built the Iteo giving it his initials as a name. Packard is second oldest, having first been produced in 1899, and named after the late J, W, Packard, of Warren, Ohio. Peerless, named for qualities its builders hoped to I give it, was born in 1900, lleorge N. Pierce, a Buffalo, N. Y? bicycle manufacturer, started the ^Pierce CJreat Arrdw," and H. H. Franklin introduced an air cooled car bearing his name in 1902. Cadillac, ! too, received its name in that year, although the company had boon formed in 1900 with Henry Ford as chief engineer. In 1903 the Ford Motor company started production, and in Indianapolis the Marmon family started the Marmon. Auburn, too, named for Auburn, Ind., where it was and is built, first came out in 1903/ Three names still famous in automobile history were added to, the list of "permanent*" in 1904?Buick, Studobaker, lteo. The late David Buiok designed the car named after 1 '? ?? V/- - T^aggm him. The family of Clem and Henry Studobaker were responsible for tho ear bearing that name. Olds had quit Oldsraobile and etarted R?o. In 1907 the Oakland, named after' the county in which it waa 'manufactured at Pontiac, w*s born, and in 1968, Hupmobile, de?iirned *>y lttte Robert C.

News that P. Speer, "who resides on the former Michael Dugan property in Hardscrabble road, had a novel experience recently." It seems that Speer equipped with a large pair I of hedge shears was cutting brush around the stump of a tree on the estate of Dr. V. Bacevicz when he was startled by the loud squealing of a very badly frightened rabbit which leaped from the brush and disappeared over the horizon, leaving his tail behind him. Mr. Speer took, the tail home as exhibit A to verify his story. Sales girls in St. Louis stores used to think that Mrs. Gussie Grenner's promise to remember their courtesy in her will was a lot of "applesauce." She died and 22 of them really were remembered to the tune of $200 each and another one with $500. In the old days policemen distinguished themselves by stopping runaway horses. Today, though, most of their time is taken up writing overtime parking tickets. Officer Oscar Syehowski of the Lincoln Park. Chicago force was able to make a name for himself by stopping a runaway blimp. The old force instinct of grabbing the bridle caused him to grab the drag rope and hang on until help arrived. Before the Chapei section of] Shanghai was destroyed by the Jap anese, the Commercial PresB there applied for $1,000,000 insurance. The insurance company asked the Japanese commander if there was to be any bombardment. The answer was said to have been no. Anyhow, the policy was issued, at a $30,000 premium. The Commercial Press was among the buildings destroyed. When Zoobu, baby elephant at the Steel Pier. Atlantic City, N. J., suffered from colic he was given a pint of liquor. This put him in too playful a mood for his 350 pounds and he Wic ?t firut nnrHyiWm in America, to do so. itH the. assistance of 12 men and a block and tackle the foreleg of the animal was sot. Thus was a $10,000 investment saved. "citation"" s.tnt.p of South Carolina County of Kershaw, (In the Probate Court) By L. R. Jones, Esquire, Probate Whereas, L. E.

Firestone Tires are | Used on Speed Cars ( A grapbiftittory of ;he remarkable part played by tiros in the 500-mile international sweepstakes on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Decoration Day, was told today by J, t. Gillis, Firestone dealer in th a city. It waa the thirteenth consecutive triumph for Firestone in this great motor racing classic. "There is no jmore severe test or automobile tiros than that to which they were put at Indianapolis, ?au Mr. Gillis. . ; "The cars darted along tne straightaways at close to 150 miles an hour and swept into the embarked curves at an appalling pace. It was on these turns that the stress and strain was the hardest. As the cars dived into the turns, their momentum caused them to climb the embankment from the lower rim to the outer. This was an uncontrollable action by the car and it is called drifting.' In these perilous momI ents it was necessary that there be a perfect co-ordination between the skill of man and the strength of steel and rubber to avoid disaster. "At thesa terrific speeds ono would expect to find great holes burned in the tread and the rubber worn entirely away. But nothing of the sort happened. An inspection of Fire^ stone tires after they had traveled the full 500 miles revealed an amazing state of preservation. Very little wear was discornable. "It is the patented construction features of Firestone tiros which have made it possible for them to hold a supreme mastery for thirteen years in the 500-mile contest. Gumdipping is one of these features. By this process the innermost fibers of the cord body are coated with rubber and protected against the fierce heat which in other tires is developed by friction at high speeds. At 100 miles nn hour the centrifugal force in a tire increases its .circumference by more than ten per cent, which would throw off'the treads of ordinary tires. Firestone engineers solved this problem by means of a construction principle known as two extra gum-dipped cord plies under the tread. By -this patented method of construction the tread and body are held together in a perfect unit. "The life of a racing driver is dependent at all times on the performance of his tires. It is not surprising that the majority choose Firestone." Seeking means of reducing operating costs the school board of Memphis, Tenn., has decided to eliminate all school matrons. This and the reduction of salaries of teachers is estimated to save "$233,000 during the next school year. v: The Democratic convention of Texas gave its 46 votes to John N. Garner for the presidential qomination in Chicago* and declared for a referendum on the liquor question at its convention at Houston this week. Leonard Thompson Troland, 43, Harvard scientist, was killed Friday when he fell over a precipice 250 feet I into a rock canyon of Mount Wilson, California. Death Cell Reunites Two Brothers Shreveport, La., May 27.?A death cell and the noose's shadow furnished the locale for a reunion of a prisoner and his brother here today after a separation of 50 years. Half a century ago E. L. Patterson ran away from home, leaving behind his brother, Jim. And that was the last Jim heard or saw of the wanderer until today. Recently newspapers came to his brother Jim's home at Teneha, Texas, cf - ~ar. named E. L. Patter son who had been convicted of murder and sentenced to die on the gallows in Shreveport June 1. Jim didn't give' it much thought. It couldn't bo his brother awaiting the noose. But neighbors in Teneha thought differently and they persuaded him to visit Shrove port just to be certain. And so today Brother Jim walked haltingly down the long prison corridor until he came to a certain cell door. "That's him," said?0fche warden, pointing to an old man within. The brothers recognized each other simultaneously. They chatted of boyhood days, and this and that but didn't have a great deal to say about the approaohing hanging. The reunion ended, Jim Patterson came from the jail and started ? movement to have his brother's sentence commuted to life imprisonment He will carry his plea before the state pardon board m Baton Rouge next Monday.. E. L. Patterson and Boris Tolett were convicted of murdering a merchant in Pine Island, La., In a robbery and Tolett, as well ?
