Greenwood Dry Cleaning Co. “Dependable Cleaners” SPENCER GLASGOW, Rep. Chevrolet- Truck Completes 50.000 Mile Rur Detroit, June 25.—Chevrolet’s long-distance safety and depend ability truck run, which passed the 50,000-mile mark at Spokane Wash., June 14, five months and three days after its start, is rtill chalking up a remarkable record of performance, durability, and economy, figures received today from the Contest Board of the AAA in Washington indicate. The run, conducted by Harry Hartz, well-known former ac iiiver, carries Stanley Reed of the \AA as official observer. The truck, a stock ton-and-a-half model, selected from the assembly line at Flint by E. von Hambach, AAA Contest Board steward, car ries a 4,590-pound load of steel. The gross weight of the vehicle, with driver and observer, is 9,260 pounds. In spite of this load, and the difficulties imposed by wide ly-varying climatic, highway, and topographical conditions, the truck has maintained an average road speed of 32.37 miles an hour, and averaged 15.36 miles per gal lon of gasoline, official figures show. The start of the run was made in near-zero weather, from De troit. The first leg carried it to Ottawa, Canada, where messages from Dominion officials were picked up for transmission to Mexico City. From the latter point, the unit returned to the United States, crossing eastward to Miami, Fla., thence back via the southern route to Los Angeles. The eastern seaboard was tra versed, up into Maine, after which the truck turned west by way of New York, Michigan, Wis consin, Minnesota, and Montana. In its travels, it has touched every state in the Union at least once, and has given a satisfactory ac count of itself over a range of temperatures approximating 15C degrees. Net running time for the 53,- 017.9 actual miles of the test to date was recorded by the AAA as 1,545 hours and eight minutes. Analysis of the figures shows that the truck has operated an average of about 11 hours a day. It ha^ consumed 3,255 gallons of gasoline, for a total tgasoline cost of $.01307 per mile or $.00282 per ton-mile, for the 50,000 miles. • Oil economy has been striking ly good, according to the official report. Oil actually consumed has totalled 37.23 quarts, with a to tal cost of $12.82 for the 50,000 miles. Oil has been changed at regular intervals, only two quarts being added between changes, over the entire route. Routine maintenance operations, such as chasis greasing, wheel repacking, oil-change in oil-bath cleaner, and transmission and differential lubrication have been conducted at the intervals recom mended to Chevrolet truck owners. Their total cost to date is $37.18. The cost of mechanical work, including six tires and tubes re placed after nearly 33,000 miles is $182.36, of which $150 was for tires. The hydraulic brakes on the unit have been adjusted once only, their total share of the trip’s expense being $1.60. Water has been added to tlu radiator seven times in 50.00C miles, but in spite of hundreds of miles of desert driving, the total water added to date, according to the report, is only eight quarts. T]je run is the longest AAA- sponsored truck test ever held, exceeding the previous record run, to date, by 20,000 miles. The unit is now returning to Detroit where data will be compiled on various aspects of the test of interest not only to truck owners but to high way users in general. C m r Civca PTi' Cm' Li.

The Japanese, as a people, are fiimly convinced that chey are superior to all other races. That idea is based upon their implicit belief that the Mikado partakes ••.f the nature of God, and that they live under the shadow and direct guidance of Divinity. Whatever they do as a nation, therefore, is right, and no other nation has any rights which they need to espect. It is less than a century since Japan was jolted out of its iso- .ated barbarism by Commodore Perry’s fleet. In a hundred years the Japanese have learned how co iompete shrewdly with the rest of the world in industry and com merce, but it will take many gen- irations before they develop standards of morals and honor ,uch as to entitle them to the confidence of the rest of the world. * * ♦ DEMOCRACY liberties It takes hundreds of years for my nation or group of people to :earn how to govern themselves. That is proved by the whole course of human history. It takes mly a couple of generations for a self-governing people to be re- luced to servitude to a ruler or 4 government. That, too, is history. There is always a large percent age of any group of human beingc //ho place a higher value on ^resent material welfare than hey do cn their inherent human ights to freedom of action bought and speech. Every failure if democracy since time began md there have been many ol hem, has been brought about b> premises and gifts of materia benefits, for which the mass oi the people have been willing tc pay by surrendering their liber- vies. Sooner or later, those nations which have yielded to that sort of spiritual slavery have revolted, and overthrown their rulers. They have kept their liberty until some great economic depression tempted them to tolerate once more the dc minion of ambitious leaders. * * * GOVERNMENT . . infringements Every formal organization of individuals for a common purpose calls for compromises in which all must surrender certain rights for tne benefit of the group as a v hole. It is an axiom laid down by the founders of the United States tnat the best government is that which governs the least. Great pains were taken by the states men who drew up our Constitu tion and the Bill of Rights, that In organizing the new nation to in a similar contest. The state prizes were $30 each field; Lanie Conder, Richland; Willie Cooper, Lexington; J. A. Hiers, Bamberg; and Fletcher Harold, Beaufort.

Dorchester. accomplish things which ailed j Comfort Alld Feed for united action, there should be the least possible infringement of individual rights. The less gov ernment che better. Under the pressure of changing methods of business and trans portation, laws were made to reg ulate many things which did not require regulation in the early days. Gradually one group or in terest after another began to de mand laws for their special bene fit, until the American people came to look upon Goverjiment not, as something of their own creation but as an impersonal power which could confer or with hold benefits at will. To .ne, the greatest danger America faces to day is the growth and acceptance of that point of view. * * * LAWS restrictions Every law is restrictive of some human liberty. That is too often overlooked, by legislators as well as by those whose liberties are re stricted by laws. We have far too many laws on the statute books. I have great sympathy with the program ‘proposed oy Representa tive Bruce Barton that Congress should repeal a law a day. I have urged readers of this col umn before, and I repeat the ad monition, that they ought to read and re-read the Bill of Rights, which comprises the first ten amendments to the Federal Con stitution. It lists ten classes of laws which the states are forbid den to enact. Indeed, except for the details of Governmental ma chinery which it sets up. the whole Constitution is an enumera tion of laws which neither Con gress nor the states may enact. Many legal restrictions .upon in dividual liberties are necessary, if people are to be prevented from infringing on the rights of other people. But that should be the sole purpose of law—to preserve and protect the rights of every person. For Getting ^ Summer Eggs The first thing to consider in the production of summer eggs is; the comfort of the hens, says County Agent R. D. Suber, point ing out that properly ventilated houses, shade, fresh water, and freedom from lice and mites will contribute more to the hen’s com fort than anything else. Feed of the right kind and hr sufficient quantities is the thing of next importance in the pro duction of summer eggs. The main object should be to induce he hens to eat as much mash as oossible and enough grain to maintain body weight. This can best be accomplished by giving the hens free access to mash and by feeding all the grain they wiir oat. Regarding the control of mites the county agent says: “Mites can be controlled by thoroughly clean ing all woodwork, nests, and fix tures and by spraying at intervals with a mixture of crank-case oil and kerosene or with some goo<| coal-tar disinfectant. Lice can be controlled by dlisting the hens with sodium fluoride or by paint ing the tops of the roosts with Black Leaf 40 just before the hens go to roost. Regardless of the method used it should be repeated arain in about 10 days. The first application will not destroy the- eggs that cling to the feathers. These hatch later and if a second Plication is not made they will ''Infest the flbcdt;” 'mother important suggestion is at ample ventilation should be provided. Ventilators on both front and rear should, be kept open.
