The Monroe Touring Car is distinguished by its handsome appearance, its ecorrect
mechanical principles, and, above all, by its fine riding qualities. Due to its very strong
frame eonstruction, and its eross compound cantilever rear springs, this car actually rides
as easy as cars of double its weight. The same causes contribute to a tire and fuel economy
that is truly astonishing.
These features on the Monroe Car are not found on any other ear in its priece class.
Forty-four H. P. four motor valve in head fully enclosed—counterbalanced erankshaft,
eounterweights forged integral with shaft, redueing vibration to absolute minimum.
Extra depth frame, twice as strong as frame on cars of similar size and weight.
Running boards welded to frame, thus beecoming integral parts.
Cross compound eantilever rear springs, which makes this the easiest riding ear at any
priee.
Pressure oiling system, oil foreed through erankshaft to every bearing, insuring perfeet
lubrication under all eonditions.
Patented Hot Spot Manifold, vaporizing every particle of fuel, which gives quick accel
eration and instant starting in eoldest weather.
Standard unite which years of the most exacting tests have proved to be the best.
Zenith carburetor. Dry plate cluteh. Nickel steel gears in transmission and differential.
Spiral bevel drive. Stewart-Warner vacuum system. 15-gallon tank in rear. Connecticut
ignition. Auto-lite electrie starting and lighting. Double cowl body. One man top of heavy
rubber. Bevel glass in rear curtains, gypsy sh}e wings.
The Monroe has been constantly undergoing the most rigid and exhaustive tests under
every eonceivable condition for the past five years and we believe now is in a class far above
the average car.

In the preMminary tests, the new
Overland car showed stamina and
riding qualities so remarkable that
the car was selected as the official
scout ear in the first trans-continen
tal test trip of the United States Mo
tor Transport Corps, which started
at Washington, D. C,, on July 7, and
is expected to arrive about Septem
ber 7 in San Francisco. The route
being followed by the motor trans
port corps is that of the Lincoln high
way.
This trans-continental trip has
been undertaken to establish and
demonstrate the possibilities of the
motor vehicle as a factor in coast-to

as a supreme test of the utility and
dependability of the modern motor
vehicle,
With the army trucks participat
ing in this convoy are three of the
new light Overland cars, which will
be put on the market this season by
the Willys-Overland Company. The
cars on this tour, according to report,
are making a record for comfortahle
riding qualities, road ability and a.ll-“

The Overland Company makes no
disclosure as to, price or date of the

Many Divorces Caused
. . .
By High Cost of Living
(By Universal Press.)
SBAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—The princi
pal reason for divorces in San Francisco
is the high cost of living. Figures com
piled at the county clerk's office show
lthat during the thirty days ended July 31,
75 per cent of the divorce suits filed al
leged failure to provide.
, These amazing figures show that the
ever-mounting price of foodstuffs, cloth
ing, rent and other expenses incident teo
matrimony during the year 1919 are at the
bottom of the trouble.
The number of divorce suits filed dur
ing the month of July represented 50 per
cent of the tetal actions brought.

This new Allen isn’t a big, heavy car—it
hasn’t even a large motor—but it outspurts
big cars, it climbs any grade they can climb,
and it has more speed than you will ever
want to use,
This new Allen isn’t an extravagantly
| constructed car—but it is one of the best
‘ looking cars you will see this season—every
; item of equipment, every detail of finish, is
} ' thoroughly fine grade. '
This new Allen isn’t a lengthy wheelbase
' car, yet no car has better five-passenger
accommodations or rides more comfortably
at sensible driving speeds—forty miles an
hour and under.
‘ It’s a five-passenger car of moder
i 4 ate size and unusual quality. If five
‘ passenger is your size it simply isn’t
ogical for you to pay more than $1395
for your automobile.
The way to know is to get a test

in this big business venture every
indication of a closer commercial
union that will exist between France
and the United States as a result of
the allied influence made more prom
inent by the great war. When Messrs,
Bellanger, Faure wnd dela Moussay
reached New York they entered into
business affairs with a zest and ex
pressed themselves as desiring no ae
lay. Their program was so exten
sive as to be startling, for it included
\immedhte organization of an export
‘and dmport bank, the purchase of steel
vessels to carry materials to Europe,
the securing of a large warehouse at
New York from which te handle the
goods purchased for export to France
and to the French colonies, and the
organization of an export and import
company. In the bank and the ex
port company they desired to partici
pate with Americans on an equal
basis. Their demands, which it was
supposed would be for automotive
materials to be manufactured into
cars of the model designed and await
ing their inspection, were larger tnan
expected, covering a wide range of
goods. They inspected the automo
bile model, tested it and heartily con
gratulated Briscoe and Stahl for the
work which had been accomplished
as designers in much less time than
expected. With the acceptance of
the model brought forth in the De
troit plant of Bellanger Freres, we
cured by Briscoe and Stahl, the
French capitalists and manufacturers
‘aurted visits to the parts plant and
accessory plants to place orders for
‘materials of every character to be
shipped on specifications to New York
City, there to be assorted in the ware
house of the Parisian makers and re
shipped to France. Karly starct of
manufacturing was their watchword
and machinery, tools made in the De
troit plant and every other item was
looked after with the utmost busi
ness naste, as France wants and must
have cars, and Bellanger Freres, with
the able assistance of Mr. Briscoe, a
director of their company, and Mr
Stahl, will earry on this work., Messrs.

Service Said To Be T
Only True Test
Some of the technical suggestions
offered to the tire public today for
making scientific tests of tires right
at home bring memories of the days
a score of years ago when the bak
ing powder companies had represen
tatives going from house to house
boosting their own goods and ghow
ing the poor quality of competitive
lines.
The representative of one baking
powder company visited a housewife
and, using many bewildering chemis
cal terms, told her that her whole
family was in danger of slow but sure
death if she used a baking powder
which fizzed when combined with a
certain chemical. The agent then
showed her how every one of the com
peting brands fizzed in a most ter
rible manner, while his was fizzless.
