BUENOS AIRKS, March l—Some of the ranches of the Argentine pampas are so large that it takes anly to fly around the ranch te in- spect their herds of cattle, but into Buends Aires where they have a town house. They do not have to worry about landing places, for the pampas is as level as a billiard table. A dozen private altplanes are thus in use on the pampas, aceording to Ricard Aldao, president of the Argentine Aero Club, and other ranches soon will be similarly equipped. D.

But A MAN who heard the statement “No Rolls-Royce has ever worn out” im- mediately asked, “How about timing gears?” He was answered with the plain fact that no Rolls-Royce has ever re- quired replacément of timing gears— not'éven cars which have run twenty years and half a million miles. These timing gears are steel and bronze alter- nating, and are ever silent. They are spring.driven and dampened against vibration—the only timing gears of their kind on any motor car. Expensive to make, yes, requiring painstaking workmanship, but like every part of the Rolls-Royce the ex- pense is in original building, not in maintenance or repairs. That is why you réceive twenty years or more serv- ice from a Rolls-Royce, why itisa prof- itable investment, as well as a motor cartiage of unbelievable comfort. 1f you will call at the Rolls-Royce showroom, or telephone, we shall be glad to arrange a 100-mile trial trip over any roads you may select.

It was pointed out that the Avenue in that section is sufficiently wide to accommodate present traffic and that any increase the width at the expe narrowing the parkway wo detrimental to its btauty.

I Y ::01d Virginia Cheroots 4 Good Cigars i) for | O* Spent $100,000 to take the %7‘] Guess out of Shoe Fitting ‘When Uncle Sem called 5,000,000 men to the training camps, and had to fit them with new shoes 80 they could walk all day with a rifle on their shoulder and a 50-pound pack on their back, he got more knowledge and experience in fitting shoes in three years than all the shoe salesmen in the world had accum- ulated in three centuries. 1 gave up my job as President of this Com- pany and accepted a new position to help Undle Sam establish Training Schools for Officers over here, and ower there, to teach men how to fit shoes in the training camps. Surveys made in eight camps showed that 41,852 out of 58,706 were fitted from 5 to 334 sizes short, befare the Resco Foot Measuring Machine, which I invented and to the Government, was officially adopted by the United States Army, September 20, 1918. Now, what was the trouble, and what is the answer? The old-fashioned method of trying to fit shoes by measuring the length of one foot with a size stick when you are sitting down, is a guessing contest from start to finish. The Foot Rule is no relation to the Sire Stick. I can’t find anybody who knows what represents. Some say it’s a Barleycorn. If your foot measured size 6 on the sive stick, it would measure about 1034 inches on a foot rule, and the salesman would tell you that you should wear anything from a 7 to an 8%4. - He never attempts to measure the width of the foot with the old-fashioned size stick— so that’s all a pure guess. 915-917 Pennsylvania Ave.: (Men’s Exclusively) OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS When you stand up In this new RESCO Twin-Foot Fitting Machine, it automatically and accurately measures the length and width of both feet at the same time. 4 The delicate mechanism is scientifically ad- justed to measure the foot expansion and reg- ister the length and width of the shoe required to properly fit both stocking feet when the “ standing weight” is placed on the sensitive springs. Now, just for the fun of it, if you want to one foot while you are sitting down, when the only time you use your feet is when you are standing up, and then you like to use both feet. Ask him if he knows that the Army Survey shows that in measuring both feet, in 60% of the cases the left foot is larger than the right, and 40% of the measurements show the right foot is larger than the left. Ask him if it wouldn’t be more sensible to messure the length and width of both feet while you are standing up, before he starts to jump up a ladder to get a size he guesses might fit one foot. ; 1 couldn’t get a satisfactory answer to any of these questions, that’s why I have spent the last five years in improving the machine that I designed for the Army, to take the guess out of fitting your feet. The RESCO Shoe Fitting System is now in- stalled in every Regal Shoe Store from Coast to Coast, and if you would like to know the correct length and width of both feet under the weight of the body, you are cordially in- vited to come into any Regal Store at any time, without any obligation to purchase. 1327 F Street N.W.
