the opening of the season had sold
its entire output of cars and was CON

OF 1908. It is estimated that the out
put of automobiles for 1907 will be
valued at s57.0oo,oo0 Including the
cars expected to be sold from last

s1s,000,o 900 more. there will be about
$75,0o0,000 expended for cars during
this year. The United States today
counts 100000 automobiles in use in
its different sections, which represent
more than $500. .00e, 900 and a combined
motive power of 100000 horses.
Oddly enough, the State owning the
largest number of cars is the little
one of New Jersey. This is because
there are no finer roads anywhere. and
automobiles from adjacent States use

cars is. universally attributed TO the
poor condition of many of her roads,
which makes driving a car over them
expensive. However, California makes
up for this by being the only state

ing on his invention public opinion
against him ran so high that It was
not safe for him to venture on the
pubic highways with his machine He
was advised to take care of his family

connection IT is interesting to state that
so per cent of the American machines

Selden. and so per cant Of the foreign

The event which caused the great

the Herald race IN Chicago. which

the motor car has been steadily ad-
vancing. The motor is still far from
perfection. but new improvements be-

HE liveliness of card parties and
progressive games has been
greatly accentuated this winter
by the novelty of some of the
taliies which have lately been orig
mated. Indeed progressive games
especially are too easy and jolly a

newer things equally efficient as score

Recently at meeting of small card
club bracelets were given TO the
women as tallies and key rings to
the men, These bracelets had been ex-
pressly made OF heavy copper wire.
They slipped over the hand and hung
loosely on the arm after the manner
OF bangles. The key rings were also
made of copper wire, although some

twisted into shape by the same Jeweler

OF motor machines are used in farm
work; for In the great ranches of the
Sacramento and San Joaquin the mo-
tor wagon Is used by the farmer to
haul his grain direct to market, and
the motor in plowing. threshing and
grinding with twice the ease of the
old style methods and ten times its
rapidity and accuracy.
Pushing It's Way
The advent of the motor car In COM
mercial and Industrial centers has
of business handled. In the industrial
world the motor wagon is able to
carry merchandise from the factory to
the warehouse, or from the retailer to
consumer at a much cheaper rate than
was possible when horses were the
main factors for hauling purposes. For
the same reason the commercial world
has welcomed it with open arms. Re-
tail houses use 1t to deliver their goods;
physicians save valuable time in reach
ing the bedsides of the sick, and num-
berIess factories, breweries, and other
like firms are finding it an efficient
and cooperative factor. For civic SER
vice it's uses are multiplied.
Government institutions. such as the
postoffiee. find II thoroughly adapted to
their needs. for 1T not only decreases
efficiency of the work performed by
leaving an unhurried official more time
in which to perform his duties. The
great metropolitan newspapers use it
for quick delivery Inspectors of parks
and public buildings would be unable
to cover their routes In the prescribed
time were it not for the ever ready
motor car. In several European cities
the trolley lines have been almost en-
tirely supplanted by the motor omni-
bus. which has the advantage of not
needing power houses and which cannot
be thrown out of commission by a
break in the line which. with the troll
ley, disables the entire system. In the
military field its usefulness is e thing
past question. 1t can transport rapid
firing guns. or take the place of the
pack mule. performing both duties in
q third or fourth of the time re-
uuired under the old system AS an
ambulance it's work has been highly
approved. Think what it means TO a
dangerously wounded man whose safety
may be matter of minutesl In the

down, as the motor engine does not
consume fuel when idle; public property
and private dwellings are saved in
many cases by quick appearance on

present over fifty people and the cost
OF the tallies amounted to less than
seven dollars. Roman hbulas instead
OF bangles might be given to, the
women for charm holders. On their
bodices the ibulas would appear very
decorative and the inconveaieace that
some md in playing cards while wear
ing bangle would be overcome Neck
and watch chains are also being used
for tallies at gay card parties. In
choosing them the best taste calls for
effective and inexpensive ones. Large
brilliant Venetian beads are strung
on the women's chains whenever they
are winners and either black or white
opaque ones indicate that they have
been losers. To string on the mems.
watch chains any selection of heads
can be made, 50 long az two distinct
kinds are used. indicative OF success or
failure. Yellow and red are gay eOlors
to choose.
Little pincushions have also found
a place this winter as extremely att
tractive tallies. For the women they
are made Of red cloth in the shape of
hearts and diamonds. The men are
given those OF black cloth cut IN the
shape Of spades and clubs. AS means
then OF recording the games good sized
china headed pins or two distinct colors
are passed around. black ones usually

The pincushions for the men ara con-
siderably smaller than those given 70
the women. They are designed for the
waisteoat pocket, aa5 often are found
useful long after the party is over. As
soon as good pattern for these tallies
IS drawn they can be dexterously made
at home with very small cost.

and tiny bows and arrows for men are

II may surprise many to learn that the

the next motor car that dawned on the
horizon was IN 1901. and seems to

s-ybody laughed at everybody else. but
they kept on trying. II was Newton
awsg back IN 1850 who conceived the
thought OF steam as q motive power.
but for some reason the idea was rot
nut into practical operation. A little
later a French okicer built sort of
artillery carriage which was clumsily
operated by steam. but Il was crude
and almost useless in the face OF acci-
dent.
In England, james Watt had patent

on the whale the automobile bushes
even back In the great-great- grand
father days was active
Everything was progressing beau
tifuiiy when the trusts Of those days
decided 70 take hand. The machine
had made such forward strides that
twenty or more were running about
London. and there were I'VE regular
cars IN service which carried $4,000
people over 1000 miles in 20 weeks.
This was going altogether too fast to
please what IS known as the Turn
pike Trust" a corporation which
owned thousands OF horses and hun
dreds OF stagecoaches, and which had
monopoly on all business coming its
way. The Turnpike Trust didn't care
much about the automobile. so 1t set
to work in its own little way 1t dug
trenches along the motor car high

stretch and made things generally un-
pleasant. Parliament backed UP the
trust by enforcing obedience to a law
compelling every self-propelling vehie
Gle on public highway to be pre-
ceded by q man walking and carrying
q red flag. This absurd law endured
until 1895, when It's repeal was ceie-
brated by a glorious procession of self
propelled vehicles from London to
Brighton.

But the English inventors had failed

became clear that some other element
besides steam was needed. many bril-
liant minds set to work upon the
scheme; but It is to America that the
honor OF gaining the goal first is due,

Selden. student of law at Harvard,
who conceived and carried out the idea
OF internal combustion applied as mo-
tive power. But Selden was a busy
