AUTOMOBILES IN 1910.

The United States will produce l6O,-
goo automobiles this year. OF this inn
mense output. 10000 will be turned
OF the grand total seven cighths will
be light cars of low or medium price.
The Detroit automobile show with
its striking ocular demonstration OF
the development i'm motor cars helped
to focus attention upon Michigan as
an automobile producing center, but
for the world at large which was UNI
able to make the trip To Detroit. the
figures of tho American Review of
Reviews quoted above serve even bet
ter TO give a comprehensive idea of
the growth of the automobile industry
and Of the great part which Michigan
has i'm il.
Just five years ago the total auto
mobile output of the United States
was only $4,000 cars. In 1906, the to-
tai jumped up to $4,000. In 1907 ii
reached $4,000. and i'm 1908 this figure
was nearly doubled. the total being
$1,000. Last year produced 10000
American automobiles. This year the
best estimates are that 100000 cars
will be built. and that the demand will
run above 100000 or more than 10000
above the expected supply.
Remarkable as is this growth in
the quantity of the output the quality
Of the cars has shown an even greater
Today, as pointedly
both by the Detroit show
and by the articles i'm the Review of
Reviews. far better car more pow
erfuI. more dependable, more comfort
able. more speedy and more substan-
tial can be bought for $1,000 than
could be purchased five years ago for
$4,000 or $4,000. This decrease i'm price
with revolutionary Improvement in
quality has been brought about not by
4 cheapening of materials nor of labor,
but by new ideas in design, better

large production. The great demand
has caused the establishment of i'm

large production has greatly lessened
the individual cost Of cars.
The cheaper and lighter machines
ire in fact made so well today that
he demand and output for them has
increased from ten to twenty fold over
i've years ago. while the demand and !
output for the higher priced car has
gone up only 10 to 25 per cent.

The EASY EGG TEsT.

a New York newspaper recommends
To- it's readers the salt water test for
eggs. In a glass filled with a mild So
luton of salt water the good egg sinks
10 the bottom and the cold storage egg
floats.
This test is so simple that everybody
is trying it, and it plays havoc with the
egg business of some OF the grocers.
In New York. and in some places out
side OF New York, grocers have a hab-
il of trying To distinguish between
eggs Of various degrees of antiquity,
as new laid eggs strictly fresh
eggs" fresh eggs best quality,
good quality and so forth. with
the salt water test there are just two
kinds-those that float and those that
do not. Those that do not float are
fresh and the others are stale.
1t doesn't necessarily disqualify an
egg for all uses if it be too light to
sink but it does disqualify it for being
palmcd off as strictly fresh" or
fresh"
The reason for the sinking of one
egg and the floating of the other is
simple. a strictly fresh egg fills the
shell. There is 10 air nor gas i'm the
egg and it sinks. An egg a few weeks
old loses 10 per cent. of its weight.
The meat shrinks away from the shell
and a small quantity of gas is form
ed that causes the cold storage egg to
float.
Tastes differ as to many things, but
the human being is yet to be discover
ed who really likes stale eggs.
