WOODEN SIGNS TAKING
THE PLACE OF ENAMEL
Small Boys Too Festive with Their
Rocks, According to Associ-
alton Officers

Powell Evans, chairman of the Amer
lean Automobile associations touring
information board, is completing ar
rangements for the manufacture OF
about 10000 wooden road signs, which
are to be erected during the coming
touring season throughout the districts
where roads have not been properly
posted.
The touring information board has
decided, after considerable deliberation
to use wood signs instead of such as
have been erected in the past few
years. 1t is found that the small boy
has discovered he can get a great deal
OF amusement by throwing sticks at the
enamel signs, which chip off wherever
struck. The new form of wooden sign,
which is under consideration by the
board, appears to be absolutely indie
structible. 1t will be bound with metla
and tested by process which makes
it not only freproof but water and
weatherproof.
Mr.. Evans says that more than 10, 900
new signs will be erected by the A. A.
A. as son as they can be prepared and
distributed to the centers Of touring
where they are most needed.

REMOVING THE
SPEED LIMITS
TREND OF SENTIMENT IN THAT
DIRECTION
Old Country Laws Are Ahead of Amer
ica's in Solving This Very Much
Mooted Question Once
for All

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-"If the speed
limit is to be removed, as outlined in
the new automobile legislation" says
Charles Thaddeus Terry, chairman Of
the legislative board of the American
Automobile association, motorists and
arresting officers must both be i'm
pressed with the necessity of enforcing
not get the best results from the new
manner of governing the speed of au-
tomobiles.
IF police officers and others engaged
in the enforcement of the law should
permit any undue speeding, simply be-
cause the speed limit has been re-
moved, there would Immediately be a
reaction against the motorist.
THAT we are absolutely on the right
track in relation to the abolishment OF
the speed clause may be seen from new
legislation in Europe, particularly in
England, where they are supposed to
be a number of years in advance of
us in the public control of motor cars.
parliament in England is now con-
sidering a bill which is believed to be
thoroughly up to date. In this the
first clause relates to the abolition Of
the speed limit; the increasing of the
fine for the first offense and also for
the second offense; the driver is to be
licensed only upon the production OF
a certificate of competency from
qualified authority; and driving motor
vehicles without the owners consent
is to be an offense. Another good
point in the proposed English law, and
one which we may find it possible to
introduce here later, makes it the duty
of the local authorities to put UP warm
ing notices at dangerous corners. This
work, which is very expensive, must
be done by the American Automobile
association and its affiliated state as
sociations and clubs"

RAMBLER MAKES
A SALES RECORD
SELLS 1e0 CARS AT THE
CHICAGO SHOW
Chicago Tribune Authority for Story
Which Tells Some Interesting
Facts-Rambler Plant Is
Being Enlarged

The Chicago Tribune, Chicago's most innu-
ential newspaper, stated in its comments on
the automobile show that Thomas b Jeffery
q Co. was credited by the management OF
this years show with having sold the largest
number of machines at the exhibition. With
an average of $1,000 a car, this company had
sold 160 cars up to two hours before the clos
ing time
This was at least 10 per cent of the total
sales made at the show.
That statement explains better than any
thing we could say how successful from the
Rambler viewpoint the show was. Some curl
Gus individual, probably a newspaper man,
who canvassed the exhibitors to determine
what the sales were. reported that the total
averaged up seven machines to each eXhibi-
tor. This comparison makes the Rambler sales
the more significant.
Following the record breaking sale of Ramb-
Ter cars at the Chicago automobile show comes
the announcement of plans by Thomas B. JEFF
ferry & Co. who contemplate large additions
to what is now without doubt the largest
automobile factory in the world. Contracts
will shortly be let on four new factory build
irgs, one Of which it is intended shall have a
larger floor space than the Chicago Coliseum.
Four New Factory Buildings
This gigantic structure will be devoted to
the inspection and exterior finishing depart
ment. The building will be approximately 125
yards square, measuring SS6 feet each way.
laboratory in which will be installed the
most complete and elaborate equipment for the
testing of materials used in the construction
of Ramblers and for the making of analyses
Of metals is also planned
The testing department of the Rambler fac
tory has always been one of it's most import
ant features, much time and effort being de-
voted to determining the capacity of various
materials for withstanding strains and in fix
ing upon the quality of steels and other metals
used.
new office building will be built, while
additions will also be made to the now large
machine shops in which all Rambler parts
are shaped and finished. The office building
will be two stories high. 250x2O0 feet in di-
mensions. and the offices will be located on
the second floor.
Immediately after the close Of the show the
Rambler people started a night shift in the
factory and the output of the Rambler for
the coming year has been correspondiingly in
creased
Eight years ago the Rambler occupied a
portion Of what was once the old Sterling BIZ
cycle factory at Kenosha. In each year large
additions have been made to this factory, un-
til now it occupies an area approximating six
hundred thousand square feet. With the ad-
diticns about to be made and with the i'm
provements in equipment it will be without
question the largest and most completely
euuipped in existence.

1880 he spent IA years of his life in
Indiana, or until he was 81 years of
age.
After 1920 Spencer county had, at
RockpOrt, it's county seat, public
library of several hundred volumes of
the standard works of the day.
Thomas Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln
were at Rockport at least two times dur
ing the year, but the name of Abraham
Lincoln does not appear as borrower
of books at the library. The field from
which Abraham Lincoln could CLEAN
knowledge in that neighborhood was
very limited, though he borrowed
every book that he could get.
During Abraham Lincoln's 16 years
OF life in Indiana he had read and re-
read this list of literary and histori-
cal books over and over again. His
good nature among Lincoln City peo-
pie was not unnoticed; all agreed to
his honesty and good nature. Ques-
tons of dispute and petty differences
were at first submitted to him in a
Joking way, and later on in a sincere
way, until he was complimented for
his honest and just way in settling
disputes and differences. He was told
more times than once that some day
he would turn out to be lawyer.
Having read all the literary books
and what few there were of law in and
around Boonville, Lincoln heard Of the
no,.rt at Boonville. He resolved to go
down to that place, 20 miles distant,
and learn what he could in the real

ago, Abraham Lincoln, one of the
worlds greatest men, was born. Some
merely give the celebration a thought,
but those who have made the life of
Abraham Lincoln a study, and those
people who live in Kentucky, Indiana
and Illinois look upon the birthday an
niversary as something more than the
mere passing Of a milestone. Each
OF these states claims right to being
the home of the man who has made
for himself an immortal name in the
history of the worlds greatest men.
Historians say that Lincoln was
born in Hardin county, Kentucky. In
fact, he was born in La Rue county,
which, however, is subdivision of
Hardin county. Chroniclers continue
with their biographies and say that
he, together with his father, mother
and sister, went to Indiana and en-

strong contrast to the beautiful
new structure that now adorns the
beautiful little town, stood in the very
spot where the new one now stands,
in the center of a large court square.
It was frame building; the architec-
ture was, to say the least, very novel.
A ditch, two feet wide and two feet
deep, was filled with smoothly hewn
logs, on which was built a stone wall
10 inches high This furnished the
foundation upon which the building
proper rested. The building itself
was never entirely completed. 1t was
weather boarded, but neither plastered
nor lathed. 1t remained in this condi-
ton until 1886, which was after the
Lincoln family had moved to Illinois,.
1t was capable of holding only hun
dred people and could only be used in
the summer. In the night the cattle
which grazed about town would go
there for shelter. Such was the struc-
ture where President Lincoln received
his first impulse to become a lawyer.
Here it was that he received his first

edge he did, which inspired him to be-
come the lawyer he did, it is another
laurel for the little city in southern
Indiana
Shortly after the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln a picnic party from
the little town of Dale went up to
Lincoln City to the Lincoln farm and
spent the day. The excitement was
so high at that time that old people
as we'll as young went to the farm and
enjoyed themselves visiting the his
torical places in and about the Lin
coin farm.
The cabin was still standing and but
short distance up on the hillside was
a marble slab that marked the spot
where the good mother of Abraham
Lincoln lay beneath the sod. While
there the picnickers went through the
cabin where Lincoln saw his mother
pass away and from which place he
returned to Kentucky to get minister
to come to Indiana and bury his moth
er, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. A few old
relics were found, among them being
an old knot maui and an old fashioned
mouldboard pillow, both Of which had
been left there when the Lincolna
moved to Illinois. The old plow was
brought outside and an old man by
the name of Gabriel Medcalf stood be
tween the handles while one of the
party caught picture Of the old Lin
coin cabin. The old man carrying the
pole was Joseph P. Haines, better
known as Uncle Porter Haines. The
picture of Lincoln's second log cabi1
was made from the original taken a
the time this party went to the HON.
