Overland Mystery Car—new model soon to be announced by Willys-Overland Company. Aects as scout car for three-mile convoy ‘of
: United States Transport Corps across continent via Lincoln. Highway.
The Willys-Overiand Company of
oledo has this season introduced
new methods for testing automobiles
which are a direct development of war
experience.
Realizing that the modern motor
ear must successfully meet the most
extreme riding conditions, the Willys-
Overland Company planned and car
tied out the idea of subjecting the
new lightweight car the company has
been developing for two years, and
which, it is understood, will soon be’
on the market, to tests which would
parallel the rough and ready use
otor cars in the war zone dally re-
Flv‘td.

Many Divorces Caused ‘
.s . !
By High Cost of Living
(By Universal Press.) ‘
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—The prinei
pal readon for divorces in San Francisco
is the high cost of living. Figures com
piled at the county clerk's office show
that during the thirty days ended July 31,
75 per cemt of the divorce suits filed al
leged failure to provide.
~ These .mlun}g figures show that the
levor-mounnng price of foodstuffs, cloth
ilnl. ren’ and other expenses incident to
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

Benjamin Briscoe and Rodolphe,
with Robert Bellanger, I. L. Faure
and R. dela Moussaye, are touring
America, inspecting automotive plants
of évery character and studying trade
conditions, with well formulated plants
for export of automotive materials of
every character, automotive ma
chinery on a large scale, meats and
a variety of commercial products. The
trip of Briscoe and Stahl, who have
designed for Bellanger Freres, the
great Parisian manufacturers, a car
which is to be made in their huge
plant at Neuilly, a Paris suburb; with
their French clients, has provem an

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
ate size and unusual quality.: If five

ogical for you to pay more than $139
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 resuit 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 de
lay. Their program was so exten
sive as to be startling, for it included
immediate organization of an export
and import bank, the purchase of steel
vessels to carry materials to Europe,
the securing of a large warehouse at
New York from which to handle the
goods purchased for export to France
and to the French colonies, and the
organization of an export and import
company. +ln 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 awalt
ing their inspection, were larger tnan
expected, covering a wide range of
goods. They mspected the automo
;hlle model, tested®it and heartily con
gratulated Briscoe and Stahl for the
‘work which - had been accomplished
as designers in much less time than
lexpected. 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
started visits to the parts plant and
‘accessory plants to place orders for
;ma.terials 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, KEarly start 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.
Bellanger. dela Moussay and Faure

Service Said To Be "
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 show
ing the poor quality of competitive
lines. 4
The representative of one baking
powder company visited a housewifs
and, using many bewildering chemi
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 them
showed her how every one of the com
peting brands fizzed in a most ter
rible manner, while his was fizzless,
