the spring season, be sure your

prescribe the proper consistency
of “Standard” Motor Oil and the
correct lubricants for every cup

Four Men Making
10,000 Mile Tour
Trip To Be Made In A Stock
Chevrolet Sedan Trailed By
A Chevrolet Truck
There is a motoring tour now un
der way which, it is safe to predict,
will out-do in thrills and drama any
of the experiences of some 40,000,000
Americans who will take to the high
ways this season.
It is a tour through jung’- trails,
over desert wastes, acror? rivers
unbridged except by make-r,'-'''; pon
toons, through mud and sw' ns and
infested marshes. Four m'* ! ire at
tempting the journey, a trail-blazing
route 10,000 miles long l oai Cape
Town, in the Southern mor'; -art of
Africa, to Cairo and them- • on a

where a tropical sun bums .own by

with the threat of savage life at

The transportation selected by the
adventurers consits of a stock Chev
rolet sedan trailed by a Chevrolet
truck on which is carried equipment
necessary to hew a path through
wilderness tangles. Included in the
equipment is a complete wireless out-

fit with which the men will maintain
contdct with the outside world, and
a medical chest containing anti-ven
om serum and surgical and first aid
supplies. Each member has been
inoculated against jungle fever.
The run was officially started by
ladio from New York C'ty by J. D.
Mooney, president of General Mo
tet's Export, who expects to sail from
New York in time to greet the trav
elers in Europe. The first leg of the
run, Cape Town to Cairo, is sched
uled for completion in 40 days.
Heading the party is the famous
African adventurer. Captain Lacey.
Others are a wireless operator, a
newspaper man and a motion pic
ture photographer. Selection of a
Chevrolet to cairy the party was
logical, following a demonstration of
the rugged qualities of the car con
ducted recently by Lacey, in which
he bested by nine hours the time of
the express mail train over the 2,000
mile route between Elizabethville
and Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Cape-to-LoAidon run, sponsor
ed by General Motors fSouth Africa)
Ltd., was planned originally to end at
Cairo, but interest aroused by the
project became so keen that the
route was extended to include visits
to General Motors plants at Alex
andria, Berlin, Antwerp, London, and
Stockholm.

Just Wait’ll You
See Louise Fazenda
s Will Rogers
“Seems rather peculiar, but did
you ever figure it out . . . there’s
twenty funny men comedians on the
stage to every woman. When you’ve
said Louise Fazenda, you’ve just
about named them all.
“She’s my wife in the picture. And
say,, there’s nothing as sad as an un
funny woman trying to be funny.
It’s not as bad with men. You see.
there’s so inany po«^r ones we’ve all
got used to it.
“Just wait’ll you see Louise as
‘Ma Brander’ in her store clothes!
Me . . . I’m just her husband.”

Card of Thanks
We wish to express our iv^st sin
cere appreciation to each and every
ime oi our ir:eiids and neigubwh fur
the kindness shown us during the
illness and death of our dear mother
and wife.
Mr. E. T. Christian and Children.
The successful expert of C. F. Red-
lich fdr Sc'entific Rupture Appli
ances says:
The “Perfection Retention
Shields,” hold the rupture perfectly,
no matter what position the body as
sumes or how heavy a weight you
lift. They give instant relief, con
tract the opening in a remarkably
short time and strengthen the weak
tissues (the real cause of rupture)
so that they frequently recover their
prevous natural retaining power,
needing no further outside support.
Stomach trouble, backache and con
stipation often caused by Rupture
promptly disappear.
Truly remarkable results have
been obtained with recent and not
yet fully developed ruptures and
many old ones also.
No legstraps or elastic belts are
used. Can be worn while bathjng
and are highly sanitary, being im
pervious to sweat.
Letters from highly satisfied cli
ents available.
Advertised mail order contraptions
as well as elastic belts with chafing,
filthy legstraps are absolutely
worthless.
Call on me and I will show you.
Results on children are 95 per cent
favorable.
Business engagements prevent vis
iting any other city in this sebtion.
