quently made. A great many of these
new models will be shown for the

not only the interest of the business
men of Detroit, but the interest o.
the thousands of visitors who viii

things in the commercial car and ais,
the pleasure car field.
In the opinion of practically every
member of the d. A. ID. A., the season
of 1912 will be the greatest in the
history of the automobile industry
The vast increase in orders for the
first half of the 1912 season, often
times amounting to so perv cent. In
many cases and the regularity with
which orders are still being reported
for 1912, leads not only the makers
but also the agents into their presen
optimistic opinions.
Reports from the great northwest
from the far west, from Sthe south
west and from all over the south are
all favorable. Apparently there is ne
slump in the automobile trade in an
portion Of the country and this fact
coupled with the universal demand for
cars for export to every portion c.
the globe, is enough to warrant thes
optimistic opinions.
One year ago in Detroit, there were
opinions expressed freely withou
hindrance that outputs would be vast

optimists were hard to find. This CRY
of wolf" failed to materialize, for M
wolf came. New factories sprang ur
on all sides and are still being con
structed and the business increased
greatly instead of decreased.
With the general increase of auto.
mobiles on the highways and bywaye
of the country and especially on tn
business streets of every city, town
and hamlet in the country, the natu
raj supposition is that there will be
q continued increase, for the automo
bile today stands as an indispensable
addition to the transportation facili-

will never be dispensed with and il
fact cannot be dispensed with for any
time in the future.

beggar supposedly two silver half dol
lars, but in reality two of his favorite
gold coins. The old man, noting the

benefactor and pulled at his coat, in
tending to inquire If the gold were
really given him in earnest. Before
he could open his mouth, however,
Mason pushed him back, exclaiming,
Not twice in one night, old man."
"But do you mean it," asked the beg

HOW HISTORY. is DISTORTED
Russian Textbook Shows Curious In
stance Of Tamperlng With
French History.

Reasons of church, state or other
policy have frequently caused the
scholars Of one country to tamper with
the history OF another with which II
has been intimately connected. A
curious instance of such a distortion
OF French history was that found In a
Russian textbook, used In all Russian
public schools, and edited by a great
Russian scholar, Ilovaiski. The fol-
lowing may be cited as an illustra-
ton:
Louis XVI. was good and peace
full king. After a long and famous
reign, In which he was most happy in
his choice of minister of finance, he
died quietly in Paris, beloved by all
his people, His death was caused by
q hemorrhage.
THE successor of Louis XVI. was
his son, Louis XVII. During his reign
the brave royal army, commanded by
General Napoleon Bonaparte, captured
the larger part OF the European con-
tingent for the French crown. But
the faithless Napoleon showed ten
denotes toward misusing his power,
and was suspected of harboring dis
honest schemes against the legitimate
ruler. With the help of his majesty
the emperor and autocrat of all the
Russias, his plans were frustrated, and
he was deprived of all his posses
sions, honors, and rights to pension.
He was then exiled to the island Of
st. Helena, where he died."-The Sum-
day Magazine

HAS TOO FEW CARS.
Michigan Does Not Use Automobiles
in the Proportion to Population that
Other States Do.

Michigan, while IL makes more cars
than any other state, is still less of an
auto-using community than many
others. Kansas and Nebraska have
more cars in proportion to population
and In many counties nearly every
farm has q car. Much interest is
manifested throughout the state In
the possibilities of a large use OF
cars by farmers and it is thought that

POLITICS LEVENED WITH
SCRIPTURE



One OF the minor effects OF Mr.. ROOse-
velts speeches and Of Mr. Bryan's writ

the Bible. Both OF those distinguished
men frequently draw on the King lanes
version of the scriptures 10 point a moral
or adorn a tale, and both find in the Eng
lish Bible an inexhaustable storehouse Of
Illustration.
In his peroration at Chicago Mr.. Roose-
welt declared that with unfiinching heart
and undimmed eye We stand at Arna-
geddon and we battle for the Lord. f" No
body to-day is absolutely sure what or
where Armageddon is OF was, for the
only reference to it is in the mythical
book Of Revelations, where in the 10Th
Chapter II says:
And he gathered them together into
a place called in the Hebrew tongue Arm
ageddon. And the seventh angel poured
out his vial into the air; and their came
a great voice out of the Temple of Heav-
en-, from the Throne, saying, II is done.
And there were voices and thunders and
and there was a great earth
quake, such as was not since men were
upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake,
and so great.
And the account goes on to narrate
other dreadful things that happened at
Notwithstanding and terrify-
ing word-where Mr.. Roosevelt says we
stand to-day.
Not to let Mr.. Roosevelt have a mon
opoly of Biblical references, Mr.. Bryan
that he should have mentioned
The parable Of the workers in the vine
yard Matthew XXX which tells about the
men getting as much for one hour as for |
/ whole DAYS work There was no wage |

That is Mr.. Bryan intmates that Mr.. ROOs- |

store the child to life.
