These sterling gentlemen, you sec.

It fot an awful kick out of Irving.

Huh, what is success? Ask me, J

Essex Reveals True Economy
Not Limited to But One Advantage
The question of motor car economy is not limited to gas
oline mileage.
It includes oil, tires and particularly repair costs.
The Essex consumes no more gasoline than other cars of '
similar capacity. And it is a common remark of all owners
that it requires hardly any oil.
As for tire economy, many reports are so remarkable
that we repeat themonly with the explanation that they are
exceptional rather than average. One owner has a record of
29,600 miles on one set of tires that appear good for several
thousand more miles of use.
The repair requirements are so slight that it has given
Essex a distinctive position among all cars.

JAZZ DANCE IS
HARBINGER OF
DIVORCE CASES
Duque Cancels Engagements
Of Jazz Band Because of
Evil Effects of
Music.
By rnlrernal Service.
Paris, June 12. Does a jarring
woman make a good wife cc a iarr
ing man make s good husband?
No! to both questions, says Duque,
inventor of the Maxixe, explaining
why he has cancelled the engage
ments of American negro jazz
bands at his summer palace in the
Champs Elysees.
"I look upon the jazz as one of
the direct causes of the increasing
tendency toward divorce and ruined
marital happiness," Duque told Uni
versal Service. "No man oi woman
is normal after he has danced to the
music of a jazz orchestra for more
than half an hour.
"I have a friend who allowed his
servants to dance during the slack
afternoon hours to the music of a
graphophone giving jarr airs. He
had to stop it because the dinner
was invariably badly cooked after
ward and the whole household was
disarranged.
"Not on temperament In a thous
and can stand an afternoon of iazz
and remain sane. Jazz music pro
duces a fevered disorder -f the brain
leading to bad temper, slackness,
lassitude and frequently bad health,
"These are the reasons the dancing
craze in Europe is near its end.
Husbands don't take their wives to
dance because they find it inevitably
means a ragged temper afterwards,
Mothers forbid their daughters to
jazz because it leads to irresponsible
actions.
"The only hope for the dance is to
abolish the jazz and bring back the
old, healthy dances the waltz, the
polka, the tango and the maxixe
These were beautiful dances because
the music they were danced to was
beautitul.
"No one-step danced to iazz music
can be anything but hideous.

What
We have perfected lately for the Miller
Tire a record-making tread.
Countless tests show that it outlasts rival
treads by 25 per cent, on the average.
And, since this tread was perfected, not a
single Miller Tire has come back to us with
the tread gone.
Treads that Never Vary
These new-grade treads are daily gua. "ed
against variation.
A sample from each lot of tread stock is
first vulcanized in our laboratory. Then the
tread is tested.
One test is for endur
ance and one for resili
ency. For a hard tread
harms' the balance of the
tire.
This tread is one thing
that makes Millers today
the most talked "about
tires in America.
Double Anti-Skid
Then there is no one type of anti
skid which is best for all conditions.
What is best for asphalt is not best
for dirt
So the Miller tread is two-in-one.
The center is smooth, so it runs
like a plain tread. And it has suc
tion cups the best way to grasp
wet aspnalt
At either side is our Geared-to-the-Road
tread, which meshes like
cogs in dirt

OLDEST RESIDENT,
MAYOR FOR A DAY,
OPENS TOWN WIDE
Substitute Throws Chi
cago to "Wets" While
Thompson Is Out
Of City.
Chicago, June 12. Ferdinand
Peck, Chicago's oldest inhabitant,
realized his crowning ambition the
other day. He became mayor of
Chicago. His term of office was the
shortest on record one day under
appointment of Mayor Thompson
for 24 hours while the latter was out
of town.
Although short, Mr. Peck's stew
ardship of the city affairs was very
sweet. He issued just one order
during the 24 hours, which was to
the chief of police, as follows:
"Chief, let the town run wide
'open. This vice reform stuff doesn't
make any hit with me."
Following this up, he telephoned
to one of the numerous clubs of
which he is a member, telling the
members to "get busy and drink
highballs." To other astonished club
members he announced that he had
"5.000 coppers and a lot of patrol
wagons that weren't working," and
that he'd be "glad to send 'em
around to take the whole club for a
ride."
"There are onlv two vehicles a
man can ride in free nowadays a
patrol wagon or a hearse," he ex
plained. The club members politely de
clined the offer.
"Wouldn't want the job perma
nently for anything," said "Mayor"
Peck when his term ended. "Too
much responsibility. Why, the gov
ernor of New York and the secre
tary of state have a cinch alongside
the mayor of Chicago."

Fare Boxes On Omaha Cars
Are Thief-Proof, Says Official
Street car conductors in Omaha
would be unable to carry out the
systematic robbing of coin boxes on
cars as Lincoln conductors are said
to have done, according to R. A.
Leussler, vice president and general
manager of the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company.
The robbing of fare boxes in Lin
coln was accomplished with a spe
cially made wrench, and the Lincoln
Traction company htA been losing
$5,000 a month before the operations
were discovered, reports say.
The fare boxes of Omaha surfaet
cars are so constructed that no tool
will open them, according to Mr.
Leussler.

Thus you have in a single Miller tread theA
best type possible for any sort of road.
15,000 Mile Treads
The treads on Miller Cords are tested for
15,000 miles. That's the average rear-wheel
mileage we get in factory tests on Cords.
On Fabric tire treads a 9,000-mile test is
sufficient
But on either type, by Miller standards,
the tread should outlast the body of the tire.
That is all you want
Miller mileage varies with cda-
anions, mere are every
where men who tell of
20,000 to 25,000 miles on
Miller Cords. Others may
get from 10,000 miles to
12,000 miles and from
the same uniform tires.
Over-sue and under
size affect tire mileage
greatly.
But we have vet to find
a new-grade Miller tread which
failed to outlast the tire.
Make a Comparison
If you think another tire better than
Miller, put a Miller tire opposite it
Compart the tread wear compare
the mileage of the tires. We will
rest our case on your verdict
It is tests like those, made by
large tire users, which have made
the Miller Tires the sensation.
You owe that to yourself. It it not a
question of cost alone, but a question of
annoyance. Don't buy tires blindly
know which tire is best
Whenyou buy a new car insist on Miller
Tires. Twenty car makers now enppljl
them and there is no extra charge. '
