The Luxurious Auto.

The growth of the automobile in
dustry in this country has been
phenomenal. Strange as it may
appear, the history of the industry
from the day the first automobile
was put on the market ten years
ago up to the present hour reads
like a page from Arabian Nights"
like a dream of wealth gone
mad-a dream that would have
crazed King Midas himself"
That manufacturers are reaping
a golden harvest from the enorm-
GUS profits made on their cars has
long been suspected, but that these
profits should run way up into the
millions is a matter which gives no
concern to the man who coolly lays
down $1,000 or $1,000 for the
pleasure O. speeding over hill and
dale while the music Of the throb-
bing motors lulls to sleep III sense
of care and trouble.
That motoring is an expensive
luxury, in which only those who
have fat bank accounts can engage,
Is shown By table of statistics re-
Gently complied by we'll known in
dustrfal magazine in which the
profits of the leading manufactur-
ers are given. We quote as fol-
lows:
Walter E. Flanders started in
the automobile manufacturing bu-
slness with a capital of $195,000
and sold out in twenty months for
$6,OOO,OOO-a profit OF nearly g.
600 per cent in less than two years.
Genera motors, with a capital of
$!6,eOO,OOO earned dividends of
$12,OOO,0O0 net in 1909. In 1910
their dividends will probably amount
to considerably more than 100 per
cent.
The Chalmers Motor Company in
1910 declared a dividend of 80 per
cent in cash and 1000 in corporate
stock.
The REQ Motor Company has
paid over 80 per cent. annually on
their stock in the last five years.
A year ago the Cadillac Motor
Car Company was sold to General
Motors Company for S4,575,OOO.
The net profits of this concern
for 1910 were $3,00O,444 or about
SO per cent on the amount paid
for the plant-which was consider
ably more than the amount invest
ed by the original company.
Every man who buys a motor car
knows he is paying dearly for the
luxury, but still the demand is
greater than the supply. There is
peculiar fascination, or intoxica-
ton, about the motor car which
makes the man who grips a penny
tighter when the collection basket
Is passed or haggle with the butch
er over a pound of steak coolly
hand over his thousands for a ma
chine which he knows is being sold
TO him at a profit of 1000 per cent
II is predicted that the price OF
the automobile, like that of the bi.
cycle, will drop. Probably so in
years to come, but IL it is true that
only per cent. of possible business
is being done by automobile manu-
facturers 20 Gay II will be 2 I01l
time before the prl:c of thu net"
mobile viii lie ',ithin reach oe the
Iaborinf man. The bicycle was dis
placed by the automobile and ther,
is a possibility of the automobil,
being, displaced by the flying ma
chine, but the possibility is 81
vague that it can scarcely be con
sidered at this time.

The marines are much more famll-
lar with their own courts out OF
doors, and what they did yesterday
: by winning to the tune of 10 to Z
shows that the series will not be one
sided after all
At the start the marines got away
with jump, and at one Time the
score was 1911 in their favor, after
ward being 26-3 From that time on
the points were piled up one by one

ASSOCIATION ENDORSES
NEW FOOTBALL RULES

Football as played last season re-
ceived the Endorsement of the Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association at
New York on December 20, at it's an
nual meeting.
The association was instrumental
in bringing about drastic revision
of rules, and with the adoption Of
the report presented by its committee
on football rules went on record as
well pleased with the results OBJ
tanned.
"On all sides,' declared Chairman
H. L. Williams of the committee,
"opinion seems to agree that the
game under the new rules has been
made comparatively safe. That all
possibility of injuries whatever can
be eliminated is not to be expected.
Captain Palmer e. Pierce, United
States Army, president of the asso'
citation. reported that its membership
had increased from thirty-tive IL
1906 to eighty-one this year. Be
cause of this growth he favored
change of name to the National COL
legiate Athletic Association. Thl'
was voted.
Coach Stage of the University o
Chicago, chairman of the track rule
| committee, recommended the appoint
ment of a special committee to su
pervise this branch of athletics, pas
| on records and modify rules. Hi
committee was empowered to carr,
out the plan.

FIGHTERS ARE
ALL INTERESTED
SarCone Takes On Anyone, But
Young Nelson Is Out
of Game.

Sarcone will take on almost anyone
and Young Nelson is out of the fight
game for good. Such is the news
brought today by two letters from
these men received by the sporting
editor of the b ~ | t N.
Sarcone remarks that he can not
make 1928 ringside, as is asked of
him in the challenge issued by Kid
Simmons, but will go in three or
four pounds heavier than that.
In regard to Wilson, Sarcone states
that he can make 1873 and will meet
Wilson at that weight for a fifteen
round go.
Young Nelson dropped into the
Bulletin Office this morning and,
stepping over to the desk of the
sports man, handed a neatly-written
letter to him, saying, run that this
afternoon and it will show where |
stand" THAT" was a letter stat
ing that he would take no notice
whatever of any challenges coming
| to him, as he was out of the fight
game for all time.
In speaking of the matter, Nelson
said that he had a good job and he
had rather hold on to that than
break into the fights again for a
time only.
He prefers steady work in a good
position to fighting once in a while
and having no place between fights.
The letters follow:

AGAINST TIPPING EVIL.
International Hotel Workers Union
Declares for Living Wages"

NEW YORK, December 8.-A campaign
against the tipping evil Is to be the CHIEF
work of the newly organized Information
al Hotel Workers Union. The unions
platform declared for "a living wage for
hotel workers." which would render tips
unnecessary.
THE tipping evil is relic Of pa
triarchal times" declares a statement by
President Paul Vehling. He SCOTS at the
idea that walters can make fortunes
these times, and scores the heavy hnes
levied by employers on their men. Then
he explains the perils of hotel employ
ment. Hotel workers. he says, are more
prone to disease than any other work
men except miners. He attributes this
condition to the fact that many of them
work in overheated rooms. in smoke
laden and often "alcoholic-saturated' at
mosphere Shorter hours will help ale
viate these conditions. he declares. and
he advocates a twelve-hour workday,
with one day off each week. Shorter
hours Of employment and better pay is
the solution of the tipping evil, he says,

tension that. think, took them only to

timation from them that it will be some
time in 1913 before it will be ready for
