From a plant which shipped 465
passengercars in 1908, the Willys-
Overland Company has grown In

largest automobile-manufacturing
plant in the United States and 'is

Id speeding up the war program.
"When this commercial growth Is
taken into consideration," says Carl
Hanson, of the Overland Harrisburg
Company, local distributors, "It
ipeaks flumes of praise for the far
sighted vision of the officials of the
company. For the underlying rea
■on beltfnd this successful develop
ment has meant that Its product has
met the popular demand.
"The policy of the company has
been to sense the motor needs of the
greatest number of people and build
a substantial motorcar best adapted
to meet them. Many factors are to
be considered in forecasting the de
sires of the motor-buying public, but
the officials have held unalterably
to five main tenets, these being ap-

"The appearance-of Overland cars
must be neither top exaggerated nor
too commonplace. They have all the
hlg-car style of design, with plenty
of room and good color harmony.
"Their performance is buil£ upon a
motor designed for thrifty use of
gasoline with ample power, mounted
upon a durable and dependable chas
sis. They must be easy to operate,
with narrow-turning radius.
"In comfort they must have the
easiest-riding qualities It Is possible
to obtain. To make this possible,
much thought has been expended
upon the Cantilever spring suspen
sion and length of wheelbase. They
must all be roomy, so that there will
be no cramping after the longest
drive. *
"To give the greatest possible
amount of service, Willys-Overland,
Inc., has gone to great lengths to
provide fully-equipped service sta
tions covering the country. No
Overland owner need ever be put to
Inconvenience through lack of serv

"Finally, in the matter of price, it
has always been the policy of the
Willys-Overland to make and mar
ket their product at the lowest pos
sible margin. It is the desire of the
company to place the automobile In
reach of the largest number of peo
ple.
"How well this policy has ap
pealed to the public is best under
stood by a trip to the mammoth
plant In Toledo, where it is busy day
and night turning out supplies for
the government of every kind and,
in addition, making every effort to
keep its production up to the increas
ing demand for Overland cars."

"De-Sulphating"—a Cure
That's Worse Than Disease
Mixed in with the helpful lntorma
i tion in the popular scientific paners is
a good deal of battery advice that
; should not be followed. Read It if
i you will but don't fake it too
seriously until you have an expert
opinion. •
This sound advice is given to car
owners by Mr. Wildermuth, president
of Front Market Motor Supply Com
| pany.
"Every once in a while," says Mr.
Wildermuth, "there appears in one of
these publications an article de
scribing in detail just how sulphattng
of plates can be -cured after it had
been allowed to proceed. Of course
every battery-user knows that sul
phatlon. if allowed to gain headway,
la Injurious to plates, and most every
one knows that it can be cleared up
by & special charging process. Ac
cording to the magazine articles,
there is another and much simplier
way, which Involves doctoring the
batteries.
Writers of these rather misleading
articles battery cures usually go
on to explain how some very simple
chemical can be added to the battery
to produce results that seem little
short of wonderful. Usually the in
structions are made vague enough
and enough "if," and "howevers," and
qualify phases put in to make you
think that it la your own fault if
through a trial of the cure you suc
ceed in ruining your battery. Most
I of the writers of these popular bat
j tery articles play safe by being rath
er indefinite.
As a matter of fact, there is no ma
terial that*can be put into a battery
to cure ills that nave been caused
by neglect or abuse. The best course
to follow Is to have your battery in
spected every week or two by an ex-
I pert, which would enable you to steer
' entirely clear of any serious trouble.
' If for any reason this Is not done
I the one thing to remember is that
I the only remedy for battery trouble is
! pure water, charging and. finally, ex-
I pert attention at the hands of a man
I who knows his business. Chemicals
and extra acid never do anything but
j ruin batteries.

EUROPE URGES
WAR LEARNING
Keep the Schools Going and
, Make Them Better and
More Effective
Washington.—Europe's lesson to
the United States Is to keep the 1
schools going and to make education
during and after the war better and
more effective than it has ever been,
according to a broad-side announce
ment entitled "Europe's Education
al Message to America," just issued
by the Interior Department, through
its Bureau of Education, for circula
tion among mayors, school board
members and ether public officials.
This is France's message, as re
ported by John H. Finley, Commis
sioner of Education of New York
state, in his report on French
schools in wartime:
"Do not let the nee<}s of the hour,
however demanding, or Its burdens,
however heavy, or Its perils, how
ever threatening, or its sorrows,
however heartbreaking, make you
unmindful of the defense of to-mor
row; of those disciplines through
which an efficient democracy is pos
sible, through which the institutions
of civilization can be perpetuated and
strengthened. Conserve, endure tax
ation and privation, suffer and sacri
fice, to assure to those whom you
have brought into the world that it
shall be not only a safe, but a hap
py place for them.''
For England, the Hon. H. A. L.
Fisher, president of the English
Board of Education, who is In charge
of pending educational legislation of
fundamental significance, is quoted:
"At the beginning of the war,
when first the shortage of labor be
came apparent, a raid was made
upon the schools, a great raid, a
successful raid, a raid started by
a large body of unreflecting opin
ion. The result of that raid upon
the schools has been that hundreds
of of children In this
country have been prematurely
withdrawn from the and
have suffered an Irreparable dam
age, a damage which it will be quite
impossible for us hereafter ade
quately to repair. That is a very
grave and distressing symptom."
Final place on the broadside is
given to a report of the English
Committee on Juvenile Education in
Relation to Employment After the
War, which says:
"Any inquiry Into education at the
present Juncture Is big with issues of
national fate. In the great work of
reconstruction which lies ahead there
are aims to be set before us which
will try, no less searchlngly than
war Itself, the temper and cyidurlng
qualities of our race, and in the real
ization of each and all of these edu
cation. with stimulus and discipline,
must be our standby. We have to
perfect the civilization foriwhlch our
men have shed their blood and our
women their tears: to establish new
standards of value in our judgment
of what makes life worth living,
more wholesome and more re
strained Ideals of behavior and rec
reation, finer traditions of co-opera
tion and kindly fellowship between
class and class and between man
and man.
"These are tasks for a nation of
trained character and robust phy
sique, a nation alert to the things
of the spirit, reverential of knowl
edge, reverential of its teachers and
generous in its estimate of what the
production and maintenance of
good teachers inevitably cost."

Many Large Firms Are Using
These Tires on Their

"That the Sterling tire is proving
Itself to be the most economic tire
for all uses is demonstrated in the
fact that nearly ninety per cent, of
Sterling tires sold are sold to busi
ness firms that figure tire mileage
on an efficiency basis," said G. G.
Golllng. of the Keystone Sales Co..
local distributors for Sterling tires,
"The firms have figured out the cost
of a tire from the standpoint of
service, not first cost, because they
must use them day in and day out
at the lowest possible cost per mile.
"Some of the local firms using
Sterling tires are the Atlantic Re

Co., the Bell Telephone Company,
