CHICAGO IN AUTO
BUYING EPIDEMIC
Ford Motor company's
Sales 1000 Last Week,
~ r. ]. Hay Says.

"Chicago is now the center of the
greatest epidemic of automobile buy
ing, the world has ever known, said
IT..J. Hay at the Ford Motor Com
pany's branch in Michigan avenue
Regardless cf 1912 being presidential
year, regardless Of rumored unrest
among big business interests. the
figures are available to prove that
more automobiles will be sold this
season than any previous year.
"From orders we have already taken
it is quite certain that the sales of
Ford cars alone will total l 900 this
week. Ford dealers to. the extent of
100 day are visiting the Chicago
branch. We are booking their orders
for from three to thirty cars. The St.
Louis and Kansas City Ford manag-
ers are also here meeting their dealers
and taking many orders, which [ do
not include in the 1000 cars said
this branch would sell before the
week is over.
"That was more business by a vast
margin than we ever did before during
the show and, incidentally, we have
already taken more orders than New
York booked during the whole week
of their pleasure car show, which was
on there early in January.
"Ford dealers see no abatement of
the automobile buying epidemic. They
are getting heir orders in early for
fear that the $4,000 production won't
60 around. Just think of that! The
Ford Motor Company making $4,000
cars ar d dealers fearing that the num-
Der will be too small. Mr.. Ford was
quoted recently as saying that the al
lotment might be increased to 10000,
though L fear he was incorrectly
quoted. But we could sell 10000
easily. Only $1,000 Fords were made
in 1911 and we were practically sol d
out June l."

Typhus fever and cholera have also taken their toll. The commission of. ficers of the service constitute about 1.5 per cent of the total number of commissioned officers in the United States service. Since 1889, all of the other 98-5 per cent, have receiv- ed substantial advances in their pay amounting to 20 per cent and upwards In addition they have been given iaster promotion. equivalent to a fur ther 20 per cent increase in pay. The marine hospital service officers alone have; received no increase, in face of the fact that their duties are equally es hazardous. or even more 50 as proved by the character of their work and the rate of disease among them.
 In the first session of the sixtieth congress the senate passed a bill which. included all the features of tho present personnel bill. but 1t failed to pass the house. In the third ses. sion of the sixtiy-first congress the house passed a similar bill, which in turn was rejected by the senate. In the same session an amendment to the sundry civil bill was adopted by the senate, embracing the sane fea- lures, but 1t was stricken out in con ference. Finally the present bill (S.

THE POSSIBILITY

THE POSSIBILITY Ihere Is none so unfortunate, so far
 as we can see, As the poor misguided presidential
 possibility,
 Every iondly cherished secret of his
 aim and distant past Is dragged forth rom its old hiding
 place to haunt him to the last; Though to all intents and purposes
 he's had a spotless life, People hear insnuauons when be
 gets into the strife. Some one publishes his letters. every
 one he ever wrote; Hes without a doubt the fall guy"
 he's the rummy, he's the goat. Hes the joy of the cartoonist, who
 plays up his adipose. Or his teeth. his chm, his whiskers
 or the vart upon his nose. He's a public institution and he's
 pampered not a bit, He's the target for the paragrapher's shafts of pungent wit. There no peace and no concealment when he gets into the game. And he suffers all the penalties oi temporary fame All the vaudeville performers his pet fads and hobbies poke; The diversion of the moment; he's a howl, a scream, joke. Almost everything he's ever done is deitly twisted round. Till 1t seems to have a very queer and most suspicious sound; Many incidents which he had thought were passed and gone and dead, Are revived by weird historians and heaped upon his head. Every utterance and side remark he made while yet a child, Is dragged out before the public with enthusiasm wild. He is hammered mauled and ques-
 toned; he is probed in manner free. And they all lambast the presiden- tial possibility.
