Motorcycle Piles Up Bi Mileage in Recent Economy Test. Witnessed by representatives of the press and members of the Richmond, Va. Motorcycle Club, a new Harley Davidson Single recently hung up a highly impressive record for economy in fuel consumiption.

"In fact, the greater, purer, Inspira- tions of our lives never come noisily. They take possession of our horizons almost imperceptibly, like tides of a peaceful coast or clouds of a quiet sun- down. We receive these ennobling and fortifying impulses, these clearer indications of the way to take, when we withdraw to tho deep, Intimate re- cesses of our being. It is there that we meet our real selves and encounter fnstincts that are shy and usually in- articulate, ready to be put to flight by churlish, inhospitable contacts.
