THIS AGE OF INVENTION.
Twenty-five years ago when
you bought a tire you were
lucky if it lasted 5,000 miles.
Now the normal expectation
of a tire is from 20,000 to 25,
000 miles, and you are disap
pointed when it does not ex
ceed that. In fact, tires that
have run from 40.000 to 50,
000 miles are not unknown.
For that matter, the auto
mobile itself has been improv
ed in about the same mea
sure. Shotguns and rifles are
so much better than they
were that wild life has scarce
ly a chance. These new fowl
ing pieces fill the air for an
area of 30 square feet with
shot. How can a duck get
away? Electric light bulbs
give three times the light they
did at half the cost. Freight
cars at the beginning of the
century held 14 tons—now
they hold 60 tons. Freight lo
comotives used to have heavy
loads when they pulled forty
cars. Now there are trains of
100 cars.
It does not matter to what
branch of industry you turn,
everywhere there has been a
vast improvement, so much
so that some philosophers
think the time has come to
put a brake on progress and
let humanity catch up with
itself. Yet this is foolish. The
human mind cannot be chain
ed. We cannot go back to the
year 1900 any more than we
can declare the world shall
be static at the year 1935.
Men often say: “What was
good enough for my father is
good enough for me.” That
is not so. Your father drove,
a horse and buggy—you de
sire an automobile. Your fath
er, when young, thought
an oil lamp a fine thing. You
could not endure it. And in
your son’s time it will be the
same—the coming years will
make obsolete many things
we now regard as of value.
The mechanical and the
scientific age has not reached
its climax. We are still mere
ly on the threshold of the
wonders of electricity. The
gasoline engine of today .won
derful as we count it, may

DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK
By
EDSON R. WAITE,
Shawnee, Oklahoma.
The responsibility for law
enforcement in your town is
not wholly upon officials, be
cause enforcement cannot
rise higher than the level of
public conscience.
Newspaper advertising is
the lubricant which takes the
squeak out of the wheels oi
business.
What nearly all cities need
is an enlightened public spirit
which will inculcate more civ
ic pride and create a willing
ness on the part of all people
in the community to cooper
ate and work for the common
good.
The eloquence of the politi
cal orator tickles the ear, but
it does not always sound in
harmony with the judgment
of thinking persons
You cannot sell yourself to
others until you have first
sold yourself to you.
If the great mass of business
concerns knew just how much
they owe to newspaper adver
Using they would have more
respect for it.

Buck Stalked By
Death Twice In
Wild Cargo Film
During his recent six-month
wild animal hunt in the Asia
tic jungles to consumate an
order from American zoos
and film a picture “Wild Car
go” for RKO-Radio Pictures
and the Van Beuren Corpora
tion. Frank Buck had a brush
with death on two occasions.
In the jungle Buck was at
tacked by a regal python 30
feet long. He was being en
veloped in the coils when he
saved himself with his revol
ver, shooting from the hip.
Buck also faced death at the
conclusion of his adventures.
He was preparing to depart
when a native boy brought in
a basket encaging a venom
ous king cobra. As the boy
handed Buck the basket, its
bottom dropped out and the
snake fell to the ground. The
boy fled while Buck remained
virtually trapped, surround
ed on three sides by packing
cases. Aid was far away and
he was without weapons.
How Frank Buck escapes
death during these hair-rais
ing moments are but two of
the thrills with which “Wild
Cargo” is said to be jammed.

FREEZING WEATHER
Your automobile engine needs careful attention
during the winter months to withstand the hard
ships of cold weather driving.
The first essential is to change to a lighter grade
of engine oil, for better and more certain lubrica
tion.
Next, it is especially important that the oooling
system be clean, leak-tight, and in proper working
order, and protected by the best anti-freeze ob
tainable.
