Ordered to Hospital; Yank Goes Back Into Action

KNIGHT IS VETERAN OF TANK SERVICE

Perhaps the terrific, racking, crashing progress of a British tank over trenches, trees, or buildings through to the German lines in one of the great British tank attacks was the

most severe strain mobile automotive machinery was ever put to, says C. M. Davis, of the Davis Overland Auto Sales company, 1209 East Main street.

"We therefore consider it a great

compliment that the only official tank motor, the one which was in use in

every British tank at the end of the

war, was the Knight Silent sleevevalve motor. More than that, in ev

ery German tank captured by the

British was found a motor of sleeve-

valve design, stolen without credit by the Germans from the basic design of the Silent Knight. . "Drivers and engineers of the tanks had not time to clean motors, in the terrific rush of action. An ordinary motor would have died of carbon. But instead of being a destruction to the Knight, this motor thrives on carbon, which is one reason why it was adopted by the British government for use in the tanks. "The sleeve-valve is the reason for this. Carbon enters the space between the sleeves and is rubbed to a glassy smoothness which in the course of time absolutely eliminates friction. Why, this car never reaches its full efficiency until it has been run twentyfive or thirty thousand miles; our demonstrators would rather demonstrate with a car which has had that experience than with a new one. "Besides its motor, the distribution of weight, balance, durability, make the Willys-Knight absolutely the best investment you can find on the motor market today."

WASHINGTON .March 8 Sergt. William H. Faga of 1134 North Franklin street, Chicago, a member of the Sixth regiment, United States marine corps, was evacuated to the rear becouse of severe wounds during the engagement near 9rdnnes, Nov. 1, when he saw that his platoon was without a commander because both leaders had become casualties. Instead of proceeding to the hospital squad, Sergt. Faga returned - to the lines and assumed command for the remainder of the attack, "successfully accomplishing his commission." In reward for this heroism Sergt. Faga, who on Sept. 13 was awarded a distinguished service cross, today received an additional bar from the war department.

Increased Postal Revenue Reported by Burleson WASHINGTON, March 8 Postmaster General Burleson today declared that increasing postal revenues, "one of the most accurate barometers of present business conditions," forecast a period of pronounced industrial prosperity. "I concur in the opinion of the executive head of one of the greatest corporations of the world, who prophesies 'large business prosperity ahead'," Mr. Burleson said. "Admittedly, the revenue of the postal service is one of the most accurate barometers of present business conditions, because the postal revenue comes from every community in the United States.

Bernstorff Protests American Movie Film

Americans Won War, Declares Gen. Pershing (By Associated Preas) CHEYENNE, Wyo., Mar. 8. "Give France nnd England the credit they claim. We can be generous enough for them. But say to the American people for me that American men won the war, and they won it in 1913 and not in 1920." This is the message Gen. Pershing gave to MaJ. Alfred II. Beach, commanding the One Hundred and Sixteenth ammunition train, made up of Wyoming men, who arrived here today.

PASS ANTI-CIGARET LAW

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. March 8. The senate of the Utah legislature today passed an anti-clgaret law which it is said, will absolutely prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarets or materials for their manufacture in the state. The measure now goes to the house for action.

NEW YORK, March 8 Application was made in Supreme Court here for an injunction to restrain exhibition of a moving picture film in which Countess von Bernstorff, wife of the former German ambassador to the United States, is shown with her husband in a dinner scene which bears

a caption reading:

"Bernstorff and his American wife, who were engaged in murder and other

crimes in the United States."

The injunction was asked in be

half of Countess von Bernstorff by Pauline Lewis, who declared in her affidavit that the wife of the German diplomat, who was Jeanne Luckmeyer, daughter of Edward Luckmeyer, a New York importer, forfeited her American citizenship by her marriage, "but not her loyalty to the United States, where she was born in 1867."

LOCAL MAN SAYS U. S, TIRES ARE NON-SKID

"Every wise motorist puts chains on his tires when rain makes the highways slippery this rule is one rule of motoring which no one questions," says a local dealer who handles United States tires. "While there is no substitute for a chain, some tires are surprisingly trustworthy in emergencies. A passenger in a taxicab remonstrated recently with the driver, who was travelling at fast rate over a slippery asphalt pavement. .. " 'There is nothing to worry about," was the taxi man's response. 'This car is equipped with Royal Cords.' Then he did some stunts in starting

and turning, and there was no skid-' ding. ' j "Royal Cords are good in slippery I places for two reasons, Int the first ; place they are of cord construction, i That means they are very pliable and ;

there is an easy play in the tire that allows more of the tread surface to roll along the ground. This extra surface increases the tractive force and lessens skidding. " In the second place there i3 the non-skid tfead. This figure tread is not for decorative purpose, but is scientifically devised to prevent slipping in any direction."

Parlor, Bedroom and Bath

Plays Here Next Saturday That famous festival of fun, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," one of the most successful A. H. Woods' farces in years will be presented at the Murray theatre on March 15, direct from a year's run In Chicago and New York. It comes to the Murray theatre direct from its overwhelmingly successful engagement of seven months at the Republic theatre, New York, where it proved one of the most popular farces in recent years. The play is in three act3 and is the work of C. W. Bell and Mark Swan. It contains what Mr. Woods believes to be one of the most novel plots ever embodied in a comedy.

WINTER DRIVING TO STAY, ,1'JPPIN SAYS Winter driving has come to stay, asserts Joe Kuppin of the Richmond Tire Service. People who never had their cars out during the winter before have been tempted into driving

because of the unparalleled mild weather, and they are never going to give it up. However, winter and spring driving are mighty hard on tires and the slippery, slushy roads of February, March and April are the hardest driving of the year from the tire standpoint. Kupping is going soon to announce a tire which will eliminate the disadvantages of spring and winter driving. This tire is so built that it absorbs the shock and side-sway of a slippery turn without skidding all over the road. It has been thoroughly tested in that hardest driving of all towns, Pittsburg, and as a result has been exclusively adopted by big taxicab companies there. Kuppin is not quite ready to announce the full facts concerning this tire, but will make the announcement very soon.

Draft Constitution for Departmental Society A committee is working on a constitution and by-laws for the departmental club which wTill be formed in Richmond, Mrs. Paul Comstock, temporary chairman, said Saturday. The committee hopes to have this completed to present to a mass meeting of women some time this month.

DODGE IS GOOD-WILL CAR, SAYS BETHARD

"Good will Is as valuable in the au

tomobile industry as in any other busi

ness," says Fred Bethard, of the Bernard Auto Sales company. "There is what you may call the one-time car,

whose owner will never buy another

if he can help it, and there is the

car whose owner is the most enthusi

astic salesman. "Desire for such a car spreads almost without help of a salesman, making new converts and friends as it goes. The lucky dealer who secures the agency for Dodge Brothers, for instancen has securred a long start on hl3 competitors before he makes a move. "People do not buy a Dodge Brothers' car simply because they want a car of some sort, or any sort. They are buying because they want the precise kind of a car which Dodge Brothers build. They seem to know that Dodge Brothers' idea from the very first was that if they built the car right, nothing else mattered much. "People generally know all about this car, or nearly all, before they call

on a Dodge Brothers dealer. "They pick out the very points for which it is noted everywhere. They know why they want the car and they are more eager for it today all over the country than they have ever been. "The production has always been too small to come anywhere near sat

isfying the demand. It is at this moment, and it probably will be for years to come. The explanation is ridiculously simple. The car has never bred anything but good will. "Every time one of these cars goes into a home it becomes an intimate part, of the family life of the home. The result is that that particular

home becomes a little circle of good will revolving around Dodge Brothers car. The circle spreads out finally,

and takes In a nearby neighbor.

"That neighbor's home, in turn, be

gins to radiate good will toward

Dodge Brothers and their car, and the

circle keeps on growing.

"In that way it has grown wider and wider, til It takes In the entire coun

try."

COAL GAS FOR HUN CARS

The German Association of Gas and Water Engineers of Berlin recently announced its intention of establishing on a large basis plants for the making of coal gas for automobile and truck consumption. The shortage of gasoline is evidently acute in Germany. This and the shortage of horses were responsible for the move.

Who is Boelke? In the play, "Three Faces East," to show at the Murray, March 19, the entire machinery of the English Secret Service is set in motion to trap Franz Boelke, Germany's master spy, who, with a web of Bosche emissaries is plotting in London for the overthrow of the Allied cause. Yet with such consummate skill has this prize melodrama been constructed, the audiences are unable to discover the arch-plotter through the three hours of intensive guessing.
