of the sO,ooO Ford car production.


 Shipping figures for January 1911 show that in the initial month more Ford cars were manufactured and shipped than in any of the correspond ing months in the past five years. The same is true for February, 3,013 Model cars We're shipped in this month. In shipping these 3O13 Ford cars the traffic manager of the Ford Company reports that 75O freight cars were used, which if run out in one con- tinuous line, would cover distance of over five miles.
 Although the. shortest month in the year, February, 1911, holds, the record for building and shipping of Ford cars over all corresponding months of previous years. The 1911 February shipping report shows an advance of over 800 Ford cars over the total Feb ruary shipments of the past five years. So far during the month of March, over 2500 Model T's have been ship ped and with only two-thirds of the month gone, March bids fair to be a record breaker for the Ford Motor Company.

 The maps are Autographed sheets showing the entire topography of the particular expanse of country which they delineate. All roads. however Insignificant and the character of. each are fnutely shown, together with railrLad crossings, bridges ferries. state and county lines. Hills, valleys lakes and even ponds are plainly marked-in fact so complete are these maps that even the. exact locations mountains are shown so that. their elevations readily can be learned. Ev en streams that flow but part Of the year are printed in such way that persons using the map can easily de- termine the fact. The scales vary from one inch to the mile to four, the sections in the greatest demand of course being those made on the largest scale. ..-.,t g, ,- The maps are printed in colors and in atlas-sheet sizes, 20 by Is 1-2 inch es Each section of the country has its maps bound together with a de- scription of the area represented. For New York, for instance, there are no less than 225 sheets, mapping that many different parts of the state. z.

them and so is every other manufac- turer, who is in the racing game for the real good of the automobile in dustry and for. the education of the public" says George M Dickson, or the National Motor Vehicle Company, which has entered several National "4Os'' in the Florida Beach races at Jacksonville and 'ina the big 500-M1le contest on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Under the new, rules, there will be closer mechanical 1n- spection by @ paid Technical Com mfttee of experts. In the past the best possible supervision could not be had, owing to the fact that the Tech nical Committee gave it's services gra- tis and naturally could not be expected to- devote as much time to it's work as it will under the new arrange ment on salary basis. Much closer inspection will result in the elimina- tion of contestants who are inclined to eVade the rules and will safeguard the public, who are not familiar with the full details of what constitutes a strictly stock car.
 .sOne of the most important addi- tions to the rules, is the one which compels each maker to carry in his advertising, the registration number of the model with which he wins ra- ceS.

 stock model. A certain series of numbers cover stock cars of 1909;, an- other series those of 1910 and still an- other series of numbers will cover stock cars of 1911. Under this ar rangement, the public will know wheth- CT the car winning a race on the track, is a model of the current year, or an obsolete model, which the man. ufacturer has discontinued building, possibly because it was not properly constructed for general service. In the past under the old rules, a man. ufacturer could race an obsolete stock model and by the wording of his ad- vertising create, the impression in the minds of the public that that obsolete model, which won race, was the same model which he was delivering to his customers during the current year. The public will very shortly familiarize themselves with the mean this new rule, it will not be possible to mislead them, as has been done in some cases in the past.

 Another benefit that will accrue to the. public, is that the manufacturers will be constantly on the alert to inn prove each years product. so that no succeeding years performance will fall below that of the year before.

1911 TO BE BANNER FORD YEAR.

When the Ford Motor Company made the statement that they would manufacture and sell 1000 Model T Ford cars during the year 1911 there were many critics who declared that the company had undertaken too big @ task, that they had bitten off a lar ger mouthful than they could swal- low. It has been estimated by Amer icanican Automobile manufacturers that 15O000 motor cars would be built in 1911, which, according to figures would put the Fort Motor Company in the position of manufacturing one fifth of the 1911 production of Ameri- can Motor cars.
 From the reports of Model T cars shipped during the first three months of 1911, it is shown that the Ford Company had well planned for it's 1911 business and that if the demand con- tihues to increase as it has so far, there will be no difficulty in disposing

IS GAME WORTH THE CANDLE?

No. sane person. ever desires to drive a car in every day use at the rate Of 70 miles an hour. Then why should the manufacturers go to such trouble to demonstrate to the public the abli- ity of their car to go 800 miles at this speed? Of what real good is it to the automobile purchasers that half a second be clipped off a worlds record. '..Is the game worth the candle?'' "1t is" says George M. Dickson, General Managerg of the National factory.
 Although the element of sport en- ters largely into every contest, there is a serious side to motor racing that is more important. It is now gener- ally acknowledged that racing is an efficient guide to the motor car de- signer, enabling him to correct faults that. would escape for years in ordln- ary use. and better still. every auto- mobile contest offers an opportunity for the public to judge for themselves as Ito the desirability of a car. It is for this reason and in this way that the competing maker is repaid.
 '"While the general run of automo- bile owners may never go Ill for any thin gAanlore strenuous than soclaDll- ity zfun.a thes high powered speedy cars are the ones that make the most potent appeal to those who appreciate the best in motor car construction. Although you may never race, it's a comfort to know that you'll never be obliged to eat anybody's dust, and that you have speed enough, should you desire to pass anything on the road. It's pleasant to know that under the hood is big, powerful, reliable mo- flor amply sufficient to carry you trl- umphantly. to the crest of any hill or blow through mud, sand or gravel re garlless of adverse conditions that bad. roads or bad weather may im- pose.

 !"Besides this actual mechanical req son that the buyer should get the car that has made good handsomely in race competition, there is the more subtle, yet nos less real. feeling of power and prestige. It makes a man bigger to have the force of forty horses at his finger tips. It gives him a feeling of confidence to drive a car that he knows can do 70 miles an hour with surety, and with greater ease and less eXertion to himself than is required In lighting a cigar =.

TOXIC, Nov. 24.-Forty-five of a
crew of sixty perished when the Jap
anese destroyer Harausame foundered
off Shima province in a storm today.
1t is believed the ship struck an un-
charted rock.
The destroyer was overwhelmed by
terrific storm while proceeding to
Milo bay. When the vessel became un-
manageable the captain called the
crew to the deck and told them to
save themselves as best they could.
Then calling his officers to him the
commander ordered the imperial en-
sign run up and took his stand on the
bridge.
AS the ship took her final plunge to
the bottom, the captain and officers
gave final salute to the flag and went
down to their doom as calmly as on
dress parade. The few men wl0 es-
capped reached the shore on life RATS.
They saw their comrades drown like
rats, or dashed to pieces against the
rock bound coast. The terrible vio-
lence of the sea made it impossible for
those on the raft to even attempt to
rescue their shipmates

FOUNTAIN CITY. Ind, Nov. "a
The celebration of the centennial an
niversary of the founding of the New
Garden Friends church will be held
Sunday. The committees in charge OF
the event were today busily engaged in
completing arrangements. The church
is located about three miles south OF
here
While perhaps not the oldest church
in the county it is no doubt the most
historical. Its history is replete with
events of pioneer days and the more
thrilling times when Fountain City,
then called Newport, was the northern
terminal of the first division of the
famous Underground Railway" The
Rev. Levi Coffin and others who were
most prominently identified in this
work were residents of this communi-
ty and active members in the church.
Many Will Attend.
Because of the historical signif.
canoe of the event preparations have
been made by the committees in
charge to entertain a large number of
visitors, including delegations from
Richmond, representing the different
Quaker congregations. The only appre-
hension of the committee as to the
success of the celebration is the
weather
Isaac Thomas, the oldest living
member of the congregation, will be
actively identified with the celebra-
ton. Following the prayer, he will
make Introductory remarks. The next
thing on the program will be the read
ing of items regarding the establish.
mesat. Of tfse New Garden meeting by
Mrs, l.. Ella Hartley. The early his
tory of the meeting, prepared by Luke
Woodward, will be read by Mrs. Alice
w. Hunt. Timothy Nicholson will re-
fer to the early customs and manners
OF the Friends. Short remarks also
will be made by Adolpheus Trueblood,
Sarah B. Woodard, l.. ]. Woodard, Am
asa Jenkins, DIR. 0. N. Huff and 9th

Letters will be read from some of
the members of the meeting who could
not attend. Poems by Luke Woodard
and Ella Woodard will be read. A
number of sketches of events of near.
ly century ago will be shown in con.
nection with the celebration.
The first church was constructed
out of logs. The Rev. Obediah Harris
delivered the first sermon to Benja,
min and Francis Thomas. George
Shugart was another who will be re,
membered by the older residents of
the county as having been most act
lively interested in the founding of the
meeting. The present church was
erected in the sixties. 1t is of brick
construction and very spacious. The
active membership now includes
about seventy-five, the Rev. Fred
Smith being the pastor. Miss Fannie
Elliott is chairman of the committee
on arrangements.
