Apperson Has Bigger Week Than Any Other in History "Biggest week we ever had," said Elmer Apperson, president of the Ap person Bros. Automobile Co., at Ko- Homo, speaking of the business done jby the company last week. "Don't , know what we'll do if it keeps up." "Have increased our output over | 100 per cent, and still the orders are J coming in almost faster than we can I take care of them. No, we're not sold out —we never are. That sort of stuff that you hear about being 'sold out' ; is mostly 'bunk.' "We're manufacturers, not assem blers, and keep on plugging away making cars all the time. We never finish with a certain yearly model and then tell our customers to wait for something else. Don't believe in yearly models anyway. It is much fairer to the buyer and better all around to go right ahead making improvements all the time." SULPHUR BATHS Are usually given in combination with hot, dry air; this helps to make the person sweat, and the sulphur which conies into the cabinet in the form of fumes goes right through the pores of the skin into the system and drives out the impurities that are in the blood.

CAR BEGINS com-coist nun Same Car Recently Covered 135 Miles a Day For 30 Days The Saxon car which recently cov ered 135 miles a day for thirty days in Detroit started from New York June 4 on a transcontinental trip that marks the official christening of the Lincoln highway. When the journey is ended at San Francisco, this car will hold a record not only for being the first automobile run under official sanction over the Lincoln highway, but also the first small car ever to negotiate a coast-to-coast trip. Officials of the Lincoln Highway Association have authorized the Saxon as the car to make the initial trip over this road and are co-operating with the Saxon llotor Company to accord big receptions to the car and its driv ers along the way. Automobile clubs and civic organizations also plan re ceptions for the car and its crew, M. J. Croker and Fred Wilkins. This Saxon in crossing the continent will travel 3,389 miles and will pass through 540 towns and cities. The Lincoln Highway route is the short est way from ocean to ocean, as well as being the only continuous route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Starting at New York, the Lincoln highway Saxon clipped its back wheels into the Atlantic ocean and proceeded to Philadelphia by way of Jersey City and Trenton. From there the road leads westward, among tho important cities on the line of travel being Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Cedar Itapids, Omaha. Denver, Salt Lake City, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and then to San Francisco, where the front wheels of the car will be dipped in the Pa cific ocean, and a bottle of water car ried all the way from the Atlantic will be emptied. A big demonstration was held in New York upon the day of the start. The car was picturesquely decorated with American flags and streamers, and carried on the radiator the in signia of the Lincoln Highway Asso ciation. The schedule calls for an average speed of 20 miles an hour and an aver age distance each day of 125 miles. With the equivalent of one year's service already marked up to its credit, this car has undertaken a journey which when finished will be the equivalent of another year's serv ice in the hands of the average owner. It is also proving the field of useful ness of the small car for cross coun try traveling as well as in cities. Barney Oldfield Buys Packard Six Phaeton Barney Oldfield, who led the Ameri can drivers in the Speedway Races at Indianapolis, visited the Peckard fac tory at Detroit this week and pur chased a Packard "4-48." As there was no car available for immediate delivery, Barney admitted he would be satisfied with the phaeton which had been reserved for the personal use of Alva# Macauley, the vice-president and general manager. "All right Barney, you're on," said Mr. Macauley. Oldfield wrote a chock and drove the car away with him. Old field says that while he is planning to spend the summer in contest work throughout the United States, he bought the new Six for the purpose of touring between cities. The irrepressible Barney declares that racing cars are satisfactory when traveling rapidly enough to substitute excitement for resiliency, but that easy riding springs and extra inches of up holstery are appreciated none the less by dare-devil drivers who find pleasure in touring. "And besides," Baid Barney, "I have wanted a Packard for years. The ex clusive bunch has got nothing On me."

Fleet of Six Hupmobiles Used in Red Cross Service Enough chatter has been written about the motor car in the military service to fill several volumes. Motor trucks and pleasure cars have been tried out by the armies of Eng land, Germany, France and Italy, as well as the United States. The rival forces in Mexico have been reported operating enough machines for every bugler, marksman and general on both sides to own a private car, but the one place where the automobile has the best chance to show has been over looked. * Carrying the Red Cross flag of the hospital cqrps, a field ambulance is comparatviely safe in modern war fare.
