OUR TROOPS IN CHINl.

. The sending of American troops to
China Is an unusual but not uuprecy-
? dented thing. II was done dozen years
ago. under circumstances not indeed
Identical with those now existing. but
at least sufficiently resembling them to
afford al analogy. That was at the time
Of the Boxer outbreak. and American
troops were sent 10 China in conjunc-
tion with those Of other powers 10 do

themselves were unable 10 dO--to rescue
and protect the lives Of foreigners WHO
were beleaguered by murderous rioters at
Peking and TO open and keep open q line
Of communication between that capital
and the sea. At the present time it does
not appear that foreigners are in such
peril as they were ,in then. but There is
constant danger that the line of railroad
communication with the capital will he

Its appearance on Automobile Row dur

That 1t is destined for successful fu-

vehicle that is notable as much for its
simplicity as for its sturdy construction.
Those who have ridden in the new car
are enthusiastic over its easy riding
qualities. its silence, and the flexibiity
and power Of the motor.
Among the striking innovations In a
car of modern price is the gasolene
tank as part of the dash. which insures
a fuel supply at all times, even on the
steepest hills: the location of the con-
troll lever between the front seat cush-
ions: the com bina ton OF the service

THE FORD OUTPUT
STARTLE WORLD,
SAY THE EXPERTS
Big Plant May Turn Out
100000 Cars During
.al.- Next Year. ..

Plans rapidly are maturing at the
Ford Motor CoApanys factory in De-
troit to stsrtle the Industrial world"
with Its output OF automobiles. with
Its capacity more than doubled. the
Ford company may achieve the dis
tinction of turning out 100000 COM
plete automobiles during the coming
manufacturing year.
1T was foreseen last year" sIid an
official Of the company, that although
the plant was making the largest num-
Der of automobiles of any in the world.
II would be necessary to enlarge II IL
the constantly increasing volume of
orders were to be filled in the future.
Some Of the factory additions are COM
pleted; others will be ready within a.
few weeks.
at is estimated by n. A. Hawkins,
commercial manager of the company,
that even this addition to the factory's
producing power will be taxed to it's
utmost during the coming year. So the
machines are being so placed that they
can be used to good advantage should
1t become necessary to work three shifts
OF men a day, in eight-hour crews. At
present about $50 cars are being built
in eight hours. When the new apparatus
is In commission the Ford factory will
be in a position to turn out more than
twice that number of completed model

MOTORDEALERS ARE
BUSINESS LEADERS
IN HOME CITIES
Automobile Agent of Today
- Is Big Man of the
Industry.

II wonder II the general public appre-
ciates the important part that is now
being played In the business world by
the army Of automobile dealers, opera
ting all over the United States" said
Ernest r., Benson. sales manager of
the Studebaker Corporation.
Drop into any village or little city In
the country, and the livest young busi-
ness man you'll meet is the leading au-
tomobile dealer. Try any large city and
you won't find more wideawake,
hustling class of men than those who
sell motor cars.
Slowly but steadily the irresponsible,
joy-riding element. 80 prominent In the
cary stages of the industry. has been
eliminated until now those who have
made good and earned a place for them
selves and the cars they handle. mo-
nopolize the field. Often we find that
our dealer Is one of the wealthiest men
in his home city. And, IL the dealer Is
not yet himself a man Of means, he ls'
almost always associated in a quiet way
with business men of the very highest
class who are backing his brains and
ability.
''The automobile dealer of today is a
scientific salesman, ready to ponder
every suggestion that comes to him, and
to appreciate its merit. He welcomes
advice from the factory he represents
He is always ready to trade selling
pointers with comrades handling the
same line in other centers. Right now.
inside the Studebaker organization, we
have several associations of dealers who
work Systematically together in this
way, using our branch in their State, as
a clearing house for ideas.
From Information that has come to
me during the last few weeks II seems
assured that the automobiles dealers Of
the United States are enjoying this year
the greatest business success in the his
tory Of the industry There can be no
question OF the record prosperity OF
Studebaker representatives. One OF
our dealers writes me that he will close
his 1912 books with a profit balance of
$50. 900. Others, l know, estimate thei"
profit at 1900. The wonderful demand
for Studebaker cars, that made May a
record month for sales. has worked
steadily toward a climax, with the re-
suit that August actually excelled all
prior months. effectuaiiy disposing OF
the old heresy that placed August in

Care Taken in
Upholstering Motor Cars

Few people realize the care that is
taken In upholstering automobiles. -
said David S. Hendrick. the Franklin
agent. who recently visited the Frank
I'm automobile factory at Syracuse.
"Upholstering Is vitally important as
1t not only adds to the comfort of the
owner. but 1t adds much to the beauty
OF the car. Take the Franklin for in
stance only the best Of material Is se-
lected. and only the finest work OF the
upholsterer Is accepted.
The leather used in the seats and
backs is selected from the best American
hides and Is hand buffed. American
hides are considered better than foreign
hides, because the cattle here are killed
younger. and this gives a softer and
more pliable leather.
The. cushions and backs are stuffed
with the best grade Of curled hair, and
the tops are made OF the finest silk
mohair. The springs are selected from
the best tempered steel obtainable.
1T takes anywhere from 150 to 200
square feet OF leather TO upholster an
automobile. and on some Of the large
touring cars 1t Is figured that the whole
of four hides Is used on one car.
Cushions are built of spiral springs
fastened so that they cannot get out OF
place. Between the springs and the
leather is a padding OF curled hair
This curled hair is a combination of i'm
ported swine hair and horses names
and tails"

VERDICT Of FRIENDS
Of JAS. N. STODDARD

It may be that Louis Weaver is "de
fishines man ydey H." but Joseph M.
Stoddard. one of the best known men
In the automobile trade of Washington,
is likely to dispute the title with him.
Mr.. Weaver fishes at Colonial Beach,
where salt water fish abound, while Mr..
Stoddard, who has a palatial country
home at West Springfield, N. H., angles
for the lordly black bass.
1t requires much skIli to land the fes-
tive black bass and Mr.. Stoddard bases
his claim as "de fishines' man dey is"
on his ability to get a good string Of
them every time he fishes the waters
adjacent to his summer home. Pic
lures don't lie," says Mr.. Stoddard,
"and have the pictorial evidence to
prov ethat 1 am de fishines' man dey
is"
Mr.. Stoddard left yesterday for Cleve-
land and Detroit, where he will visit
the Baker electric and Cadillac factor
les. From Detroit he will go to his
summer home in West Springfield, N.
H., and drive back to Washington in
his Cadillac touring car.
