Pa., ho found a chanr plcni71B;o bait game In lively prog ress. Mr Lcffmon and tho members ot his party votcft unanimously on a stop at tho bail yard. They rolted In through tho carrlnpo Rate, wero assigned parkins spaco near th foul lino back ot third base, and settled down to await de velopments. ni( Tho Dubois catclier grabbed blindly to his right for a third, strlko on an oppos ing batsman; the ball passed on his left. The second man up rolled a grounder toward the shortstop: the ball eluded his hands and smote him on his manly chest. The next batsman lifted a high foul. Tho third baseman went after It In a groping way, over-ran it and narrowly escaped death when tho ball hit him a. glancing blow on tho head. While first aid was being administered, Mr. Lemmon noted that the players of both teams were in an animated confer ence and that they were frequently pointing toward him and his car. The umpire later added his presence to the conference. Then tho entlro coterie li'ovrd toward Mr. Liemmon'o position. Whllo he and hla party looked on In a puzzled way, the umplro and players n.oved about the car and postured In various positions. "That's what's doing It," declared tho arbitrator, and advanced toward the puzzled party In tho Studcbaker. "Sorry, ilr," he remarked to Mr. Lon mon. but, if you don't move that car I'll have to call this game." "Call It? What for?" replied tht astounded motorist. "Why, on account of reflection, I guess. The sunshine hits It In a dozen places and reflccta back Into the players' eyes so they can't see tho ball." "Well, that's tho highest compliment for automoblto finish I ever heard," laughed Lemmon, "but I guess we can fix matters up." , By covering tho entlro side and front of the car with linen dusters, supplemented by robes secured from other motorists in the parking space, tho sldo ot the Studc bake "Six" was finally swathed from tho sun's rays and tho game proceeded with the players handling the ball as ac- cu 6 expect. UUU1 1U11 OOl V 1UC For Motor Trucks The Goodrich tiro renewal shops which are established throughout this country aro In lino with the general tendency throughout thevtmck Industry to' reduce to a minimum lolit time," says S. V. Mor ton, manager motor truck tire sales of B. P. Goodrich cdmpapy, Akron, O. "When trucks arV Idle, production stops, and tho various Quick loading devices designed for thep upose of saving time reflect the necessity of keeping tho truck going all the time. "Before the advanet of tho service sta tlonl, a tiro replacement meant tho loss of much valuable tlmo, because tho truck could not work while the tiro was being replaced. Now, with present truck tire service, the passing of a tiro means but tho loss of a few minutes. Should tires go bad', emergency truckB with skilled tiro men go out at once Calls far such service are made even up to twenty mites radius ot the service station. Overland Band to Go to Convention of Rotary Clubs Nebraska Leads All States in the Number of Fords A startling contrast as well as a touch ot human Interest Is found In the or sonnet of tho Ovo.-UnJ Hand, whl '.h la to accompany the ItoUrv club of Toledo to tho International convontlci held Houston the week ot June 21. "If we consider tho number of Ford cars In proportion to the population of tho various states, we find that theo cars are more popular In Nebraska th.tn they arc anywhere else. The Department of Commerce at Washington has Issued an estimate ot the population ot each state July 1, 1914, as based on the cemus In : bureau's figures of 1910. Assuming tho ' census bureau's flgnres to bo correct, It Tho appearance of the musicians 'n - Is a tittle unfair to base tho comparison their handsomo braided blue uniforms Is jon the population calculated for July nnd vastly different from the picture they Ford registrations In April, an It gives make in their workday overalls at the the stork a three months' start over large factory of tho Willys-Overland Co., In Toledo. The band, which Is regarded by many critics as the beat amateur organization of Its kind In tho country, Is comi wed j of men employed in thlrty-sovon differ ent departments of the big iUfuK.til!o plant. Its manager Is one ot the vice presidents ot the company, who Is a member of the Rotary club. One of the solo clarinet players Is an employe In the Iron foundry. Other members aro blacksmiths, painters, bookkeepers, elec trical workers, upholsterers, motor testers and expert craftsmen from many other widely diversified departments of tho factory. The three weeks' trip, which starts June 18, wit be lmade In a special train. In addition to furnishing muslo for the Rotarlans en route tho band will give public concerts In each of the twenty cities where stops wilt bo made. Chandler Enters the Chicago-Boston Run The Chandler Motor Car company of Cleveland has entered two Chandler light weight sixes In tho Chicago to Boston nonstop run, which will bo conducted by tho Chicago Automobile club this month. Tho run wilt start from Chicago on June 29. In giving the reason which prompted the Chandler entries C. A. Emlie, sales manager of the Chandler company, said: "We are attracted to the run by tho fact that it wllf -undoubtedly show tho actual gasoline consumption of cars. There are so many misleading state ments regarding unofficial tests that a run of this kind should settle' this matter In tho minds of the public, at least so far as the cars entered are concerned. The Chandler company feels that' (he public Is entitled to this Information, for fuel economy Is coming to be -a more and more important factor in deciding the purchase of a car." Autos Are Becoming Popular in Japan . Japan, at first slow to adopt the motor car, Is now taking very kindly to tho automobile, and In fact during the last two years tho industry haa made very rapid progress In all the countries of the far east. Glowing reports of this advance, are made by Henry W. Andrews, Yoko hama agent for. the Cadillac, who Is vis iting In California. "Two years ago," declares Mr. An drews, "thero were not 100 motor cars In Japan. This year more than 1,500 aro registered. "Tho aversion to the motor car which was so apparent a short time ago Is rap Idly disappearing. Not many years fo tho sight of tho motor car on the streets ot any but the large cities brought forth storms of protest, usually accompanied by stones hurled at tho driver and occu pants ot the offending car. Happily this has. entirely disappeared. "Tho greatest drawback for tho American-motorist In Japan would be the price ot gasoline. It is eaay to obtain, but trust or no trust, the price Is 32 cents a gallon." Henry Ford. However, theso dates arc the closest It Is possible to get at thU time. It Is safe to say that tho March record of 2S.712 Fords which passed out of the factory doors during the month will be continued, In which caeo our figures aro cheating tho Detroit manu facturer to tho extent ot 86,13$ ears. "Nevertheless, based on theso two dates, Nebraska has ono Ford for every 100 people In tho state; Iowa, which Is oc ond In tho total number ot Fords owned, also Is second In tho per capita Fordagc, with one for ovcry 10S people: North Da kota shows up with one Ford for every 160 In the state; California has a Ford for every 1M people; Michigan, Its home state. Is at tho boiling point, with ono Ford for every 212 people; In Ohio every two .hundred and eightieth person owns a Ford and In Illinois every throe hun dred and sixtieth. In Now York you have to count 0 people before you come to a Ford owner and In Alabama it takes 2,000 people to make a Ford family. "When It Is cohsldcrcd that there Is an average of five people In each fam ily, tho ratio shows up even better. For Instance, In Nebraska every twentieth farmhouse would have a Ford In front ot It It It wero not for tho fact that I he latter probably Is on the road taking tho butter and eggs to town. As a matter of fact, In the agricultural states fewer than twenty farm houses would bo passed before one of tho little cars was found, but tho average Is brought down by the less comfortably situated city population."

TEMPLE OLDER THAN PYRAMIDS I.nrjie Oranlte llulldln Dtscnvrrril IS'lnei Ynrdn llrlon- Surfncf of IJeacrt MldTrny IlctYrrpti Aaeounn nml Cairo, PAUIS. June 13,-Prof. Kdwnnl Nnvlllo, tho BftyptoloKlst who hns been dlrcctlns CO men nnd boys In excavations to un earth the temple nml tomb of Osiris, has returned to his chair nt the University of Geneva elated with tho belief that ho has penetrated to the actual funeral chamber of the Ancient Egyptian king Fod, and that another winter's work which Is already assured under auspice of tho Anglo-American Egyptian Ex ploration company, will brlntt to light Important details bearing upon the his tory of Osiris. Tho legend Is that Osiris, a wise and benoflcent Mng who reclaimed tho Kjcyp. tlans from savagery, met a sudden nnd prematura death b tho schemlnK of his wlckod brother, Beth, who, with seventy two fellow conspirators. Invited Osiris to n banquet and Induced him to enter n cunningly-wrought coffin, Thoy shut down the lid and cast tho chest nnd Its body Into tho Nile, Isis, faithful wife of tho beloved king, recovered the body. Tho legend continues that Seth nnd his follow conspirators the.n cut tho body Into fourteen pieces and scnttered the parts all over Egypt ench piece being entombed by worshippers of Osiris which accounts for the numerous tombs to him. The faithful Isis, however, re gathcrcd tho pieces and brought them back to ths Templo of Abydos. Older Thnn the Pyramids. This temple, where Prof. Navlllo has been conducting the excavations. Is, he Is sure, the truo burial place ot Osiris. The place Is ahout equidistant bttween ' the ancient custom among Kgyptlans to Cairo and Assouan, In the desert about bury valuables with their dead. There eight miles westward from tho Nile , was a supervision of the tombs, but thU Prof. NavIIIh believes this temple l the thieves seem to have avoided easily, older even than the pyramids.

At nine yards under the soli wo found n largo building constructed of granite and verv hard, roil standstone. This edifice Is divided Into three naves, which aro surrounded by sixteen large cells all Identical In slzo and shape They havo no Inscriptions on tho walls what ever. This proves that the building Is very ancient as the walls of more mod ern edifices In KKypt are covered with Inscriptions. "In front of the cells Is a stone plat form supported by ten hugo blocks of granite. Skirting this platform we canv upon the reservoir or well of Osiris, which undoubtedly Is that mentioned by the Roman historian Strabo. While the reservoir has not yet been explored, It Is probable that its waters had been popu lar at ono time for their supposed cura tive virtues. Totllll of Oatrl, "On tho opposite side of tho temple to that where wo entered we found tho burial place of Osiris, as the nook of the Dead and the Inscription on tho walls ot the funeral chamber, twenty yards by five, proved to us beyond all doubt. You can Imagine, that we wero greatly de lighted at the discovery. "Wo found also that In soma remote past Egyptian thieves had been nt work there. They had entered tho funeral chamber by piercing n hole In the wall, but of course It will never bo known what tho thieves carried away. Did they tako the sarcophagus ot Osiris? All Egyptologists In tho courso of their re searches In the ruins of Egypt hnve come across traces of thieves who were con sidered to bo the cleverest In the then known world. They formed themselves Into associations nnd gangs with the spe cial object of robbing tombs, as It was Danish Policemen Threaten to Strike as a quarry In the tlmo of Itamases 11."

Recently, ten friends decid ed to each get an Overland. They went to an Overland dealer in a body said they would take ten cars on the spot if he would give them 5 off. Ho refused. They argued that his neighbor ing competitor had alr.eady olTer cd them 10 off on the car ho represented. The Overland dealer then replied that if they would wait a few days longer the man next door wouldprobably give them 20 off I They did wait a few days then bought ten Overlands at the full list price. Now these men bought the Overloads, Mobccausc they knew so much more about tho car, but becauso they had complete con fidence in the lOverland dealer who had tho ono fixed price and absolutely no confidence in the competing dealer who had a varictv of prices. It docs not tako any great amount of intelligence to seo through the, weaknesses, draw backs and insecurity of a cut price car proposition. Eithcrthe car, or tho factory behind it, or the dealer, or all three cannot be relied upon. Remember that in purchas ing an Overland you get a great deal more than just tho best car for the least money;you get service that is dependable, permanent and international. That the public has firm faith in the Overland is amply evi denced by tho following record breaking figures : Up to date wo have deliv ered over $42,000,000.00 worth of nineteen fourteen Overlands. Right now the public is invest ing over $250,000.00 a day in Overlands. If wo did not out-class (both in car value and service) those who are continually cutting their price how could we continuo to get the greatest volumo of busi ness P Tho Overland is a larger car; a more powerful car; a more com fortable car; a more complete car and a more thoroughly made car than any other for the price. And it costs you 30 less than any other similar car. Why don't you have an Overland demonstration? Phono niack 501 18-22 Fourth St., Council Bluffs, la. Van Brunt Automobile Co.
