Three million miles of testing.
In that sensational record lies a new
explanation for the phenomenal suc-
cess of the Chevrolet Motor Company, j
which has consistently shattered all ;
previous high marks for the manu-
facture and sale >of gear shift cars
every month so far this year. I
Three years ago this month Chev-
rolet first 'began using the facilities
of the great General Motors Proving
Grounds at Milford, Michigan, to de-
velop and perfect its product, and in
that time three million miles have
been piled up by Chevrolet test ears,
it was announced today by Oi. E.
Hunt, chief engineer of the Chevrolet
Motor Company.
“An average of twelve Chevrolet
test cars are constantly on view at
the Proving Grounds, purring up the
steep inclines, ploughing through the
deep sand or mud roads, testing speed
and endurance on the track, or un-
dergoing any one1 of many severe
trials that a car is put through at
this veritable ‘sweat shoip’ for auto-
mobiles,’’ explained Mr. Hunt.
“Each test car is driven about three
months and in that time totals from
30,000 to 50,000 miles. While many
cars are driven farther, the average
is probably not higher because that
distance is sufficient to prove any
new mechanical feature we may have
under observation, or to reveal any
fault that may require correction.
“After a car attains this mileage it
is taken to our Experimental Labora-
tory and there dismantled finder the
supervision of skilled engineers. Ev-
ery part is tested and inspected, all
evidences of wear are noted, and if
any detail is not as it should be. we
get to 'work immediately developing
a new part or process to replace the
old. The new feature is then built
into an entirely new car—or three
new cars if the operation is vital—
and this car in turn goes through the
rigid rites of the Proving Grounds
and then to the Laboratory. This
cycle continues until we have arrived
at the proper solution of every prob-
lem.”

BAPTIST NOTES
We are still on the map. Our en-
rolment last Sunday went from 126
to 130, with all teachers present
Every one seems to be enthusiastic
over the rapid progress the church
work is taking one.
We had three additions to the
church Sunday. If you are a Baptist
we want you to come help us in the
ongoing of the Master’s work.
Our night services will begin at
7:30 p. m. instead of eight o’clock.
You are welcome at the Baptist
church. W! J. EARLS.
It has been made apparent that
there is among us one of the most
contemptible of the genus homo—the
dog poisoner. No man with an atom
of principle would do su'ch a cowardly
deed, for to throw poison indiscrimi-
nately is not only craven, showing the
spirit that knives in the hack, but it
is unlawful. It is the spirit of the
weak and vengefel! and of the coward
If the town be burdened with stray
dogs there is provision on the statutes
to care for this. All one need do is
appeal to the proper authorities and
the condition would be relieved. If
one has reason to fear a certain dog
the owner can be made muzzle him.
But one who adopts a method so
fiendish makes it apparent that, with
sufficient assurance that he would go
unapprehended, on the slightest prov-
ocation poison his fellow man.
The dog has always been the truest,
staunchest, and bravest of all the
friends of man, A friend whose use-
fulness is not yet past as was shown
by the sturdy team of dogs that
brought the anti-toxin to that fever
ridden town in Alaska. The dog is
a friend whose love for a master has
often been unrequitted, for we all
know .of instances where the dog has
refused food on the master’s death; a
friend to children whose love at times
has approached that of a mother. It
is not intended to convey that all
dogs are so faithful but where the
trait is so strong in some it must be
present albeit in a lesser degree, in j
others.
It seems that such an incident as
the wholesale poisoning of dogs in thej
past week should not be permitted to
pass without severe censure and at
least some effort toward the appre-
hension and meteing of justice to the
guilty one.

Refrigerator Purifier
A small box of coke or charcoal in
the corner of the refrigerator acts as
a deodorizer, absorbing all Sorts of
smells and helping to keep the food
fresh- THie charcoal or coke should
be renewed every three weeks.
Elies cause more deaths than all
wars. In the United States, each
year. 40,000 deaths. Elies must be
killed. Health authorities advocate
the use of Fly-Tox. Fly-Tox is the
scientific insecticide developed at Mel-
lon Institute of Industrial Research
by Rex Fellowship. Insist on Fly-Tox.
