O more shall I wonder why ancients kneeled And prayed in their ignorance to the sun; For I have seen the glory of light, Even as they, when day is done. I saw the sunset glow in the sky, Reflecting the smile of God on the sea, Like the miracle light that gleamed When Christ walked the watere of Galilee, It is my creed that the canvas of flame That Evening paints on the Western skies, Is limned for them who toil thru day, To bring them peace, to rest their eyes.

You have splendid highways, some fairly good and others not so good — the steepness of your hills, especially in the city, must be taken into consideration, too, when considering local commercial service conditions.

The greater part of this mileage is made off the pavement. We point with no particular pride to 22,000 miles rendered by our fabric tire in competition with other makes — including cord and fabric tires In territorial service — even though that mileage represents the greatest secured from any make.
