Almost on the very site of some of the bitterest wars waged a century ago by his ancestors in defense of their hunting grounds, the American Indian today helps the pale face build his "devil wagon." Just a few miles from Fort Meigs, Fort Miami and some of the other battle grounds of "Tippecanoe" Harri- son, "Mad Anthony" Wayne, Tecum- seh, and other warlike leaders of an- other day, is the main factory of The Willys-Overland company, one of the most important units of the automo- bile industry. In this factory are a score of full- blooded Indians--Chippewas, Navajos, Iroquois, Pomos, Pueblos--sent there by Uncle Sam from their western reservations to learn another of the trades of the white man. And these Indians are taking to their training like so many ducks to water. They are very interested in learning what makes the automobile go round. A dozen redskins are assigned to various duties in the assembly of one of the Willys-Overland models. pair aids in chassis assembly; another pair assembles wheels; five of them are engaged. in final assembly; while still others work on running boards, etc. Instead of being confined perma- nently to one operation, they are shifted every few months from task to task, in order to give them a gen- 2 (LLL LLL WINNETKA A-U-T-0O SERVICE ~~ 806 OAK ST.

"The work of the Indians is a source: of much satisfaction to us," says the foreman of their department. "The Indians we have are among our most willing, most accurate and most pains- taking workmen. To top this off, they are very ambitious and: are reading every bit of literature they can find in connection with their work, in order to acquire a better knowledge of the relation of their own particular task to the manufacture of the whole car." Lg gh SECURE VIM TRUCK AGENCY Wilmette Motor Sales Company Will Handle Popular Priced Delivery Car in North Shore Territory. The Wilmette Motor Sales company, more generally known as the Term- inal Garage, has secured the north shore agency for the sale of Vim motor trucks, a product of a Philadelphia concern that is fast gaining in popu- larity throughout this territory. One pleasing and attractive feature of the Vim truck is the method adopted in introducing it to the pub- lic, known as the Vim deferred pay- ment plan. This plan enables the' prospective user of a motor truck to | purchase a Vim upon terms that will not mean a hardship to the pocket- book, in the event that financial con- ditions prohibit an immediate cash in- vestment. In other words, the mer- chant or tradesman can buy a Vim truck in the same way as he buys much of his equipment--part cash and part time. He has the use of the truck immediately and makes it pay for itself out of the money he saves in his delivery costs. AL ey A YEAR-AHEAD BEAUTY CAR This year's Hupmobile is a "beauty- car" in every sense of the word. An exceptional eye-appeal has been emphasized and added to the appeal flexibility and staunchness 'of comn- struction. The new car is the result of a year of careful planning and the manufacturers have turned out a de- light to the eye as well as a car of re- markable endurance and capability. 2:0 1 RAVINIA PROPERTY BOUGHT Jack Labolt of Chicago has pur- chased from Milton Wilson an attrac- tive bungalow and four and one-fourth acres of land on Sheridan road in Ra- vinia, just south of the Julius Rosen- wald home. It is understood the con- sideration was $30,000. A New Trier real estate firm closed the deal. FORD DRIVER RUNS RACE AGAINST SHINING MOON, Tennessee Traveling Man Mistakes Rays for Light of Car Behind--Hits High Spots on Country Road. W. O. Hawkins, of Knoxville, Tenn., will enter his Ford car in competition with almost any sort of equipage that travels on wheels, and it is seldom that a motor car passes him on the coun- try roads of Eastern Tennessee, which he travels for the Remington Type- writer company. But those rivals must be solid automobiles--creatures of steel and iron, wood and rubber, and guided by a human touch--not a phantom driverless thing that takes up the trail on a lonesome moonlit highway, and rushes silently in your wake, never gaining, never losing, but with the ghostly menace of its spectral headlights forever illumining the road. At 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon of December 9, Hawkins left Morris- town, Tenn., traveling due west. A cold wind was blowing, so he wore smoked goggles to protect his eyes. Soon after 5 o'clock it became dark. Just beyond the town of New Market, a light flashed in the rear window of the car. The roadway ahead was de- serted, and the driver surmised that a machine had picked up the road at New Market. The Ford was traveling at a high speed, but Hawkins in- creased the pace to keep out of the way of the car following. After trav- eling for several more miles he turned to discover the position of the pur- suer, but was speeding at too fast a pace to more than glimpse the reflec- tion of the lights which shone steadily through the rear window. Still no warning signal gave notice of the on- comer's approach. Then the Ford owner determined to show the silent driver what a Ford could do when pressed. For ten miles the car flew over the road at the fast- est pace possible and still keep the track. After nearly ditching twice, Hawkins cast a hasty glance over his shoulger --to--find his pursues still crowding him, the lights blazing in the rear window. This was too much for even a Ford driver, so Hawkins sig- nalled vociferously and gradually be- gan to slow down to allow the mys- terious unknown to pass. Pulling out to the side of the road, he stopped to watch the strange car flash by, waited in vain, and turned to see the full moon still shining in the tail curtain. "The Ford car," opines Hawkins, "will outrun anything on wheels but don't try it on the moon." x PERFECT COMBUSTION NOW Wilmo Manifold Simple, Proved De- IS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DUE?

'When commercial gasoline advanced in price chemists attempted to pro- duce a satisfactory and cheap substi- tute. Immediately following this at- tempt the market became flooded with gasoline savers. The engineering world has known that the application of heat to liquid fuel, such as gaso- line, will vaporize every particle of it, but it was only after inventive genius had perfected the Wilmo Mani- fold that satisfactory results were se- cured. In ordinary manifolds the gasoline is merely atomized, so that it enters the cylinders in a wet condition. A wet, sticky deposit results which fouls plugs and valves, increasing fuel con- sumption and lessening motor effi- ciency. The Wilmo Manifold combines the function of both intake and exhaust manifolds. It draws in the air and gasoline, heating and actually vapor- oe izing it as a light, dry mixture at the intake ports, leaving no deposit to cause fouling. Every particle of gaso- line is utilized in the form of full- power gas. It is claimed fully ninety per cent of valve and carbon troubles vanish for good. Exhaustive tests have shown no carbon deposits after a year's use. % N) WEIHE MOTOR SALES CO.
