Commodore H. H. MelvilleA of the Motor Boat Club of America, has re ceived challenge for the British Inter- national Trophy, now held by that club, from the Royal Motor Yacht Club of London, of which Admiral Lord Charles Beresford is commodore.
 The Royal Motor Yacht Club is to be congratulated for the perseverance shown in the attempts made by it. as well as other British clubs, to reclaim the cup which stands for international motor boat supremacy. New boats are being built in Great Britain to try as candidates for the challenging team that will be sent to this country, and 1t may be that at least one of the boats that have already been here and met de- feat will be given another chance.

It is a well known fact that the
members OF the Democratic panty

patronage To have this great
army of postmasters remain in Of

ed office hunger Of the Democratic
party will be source of tribuIation
to the faithful. They may be ex-

the new president will be mammoth
in proportion, with 10000 Offices

The president will be urged, and
threatened. and cajoled. Already
Democratic members of congress in
Washington are laying their plans
to make a powerful demand upon
President Wilson that the order of
his predecessor be revoked.
But Mr.. Wilson Is committed to
various reform policies. such as the
short ballot. tariff reduction, the ex.
tension of the civil service. and to
none of these is he more strongly
committed than to a steadfast be-
lief in the principles of civil ser
vice,
For him to throw aside his years
of belief and revoke the Taft order
and open once again these postof-
fices to the demands of the parti-
sans would be long step backward
and a very decided reversion OF
lifelong opinions. We do not be-

An Overland Record.

An increased production from 4ol TO
40,OC0 cars in five years is the record at
tanned by the Willys-Overland Company,
makers of Overland motor cars. 1t is a
record that probably cannot be equaled
by any other manufacturer allied with
the industry.
When President John n. WHY'S secured
control of the Overland concern Ii was
not an important factor in the trade. Dur
ing 1905 the company sold 4o1 cars, but
under the guiding hand of the energetic
WHY'S the following year 3,S91 cars We're
sold. By this time the sales organiZa-
ton and manufacturing facilities had been
perfected. and Mr.. WHY'S realized that
quantity production would be the only
way in which he could reach the top
rung and produce good cars at minimum
prices. During 1910 the sale of Overland
cars jumped to 15,24. The following
year 1907 We're sold and 1912 witnessed
an increase in sales to 20.S4J cars.
The Overland Company plans to manu-
facture for 1913 1880 cars, which will
break all records of production for car
OF this type.

Shipping Ford Autos.

asked these days by the traffic man
ayers of the big automobile companies
at Detroit from which point good share
Of the worlds cars are dispatched by rail
to dealers and customers everywhere 1t
is estimated that it viii take 100000
freight cars for the Detroit automobile
business alone during the coming year.
Traffic Manager Hogue of the Ford Mo
tor Company does not have quite the
situa ton to face in regard to obta ming
freight cars for his company as GO the
traffic managers of other companies. He
explains that with the perfectly equipped
assembling plants of the company in run
ming order throughout the country It is
possible to ship cars in knocked down
shape in almost any type of freight car
Special freight cars are only required by
the company when shipping assembled
cars. Other companies have to stick al
most exclusively to the large automobile
freight cars.
The only type of shipments made by
! the company which requires the regula-
! ton style automobile freight car are
those to foreign countries. In this in
stance about six Fords can be loaded
into one freight car In the Knocked
down style of shipment the company can
do wonders in the way of conserving
freight car space, as was demonstrated
recently when $40 automobiles were pack
ed in twentyfour freight cars and ship
ped to the Kansas City assembling plant
| But even with it's excellent system of
shipping and utilization of car space any
dearth of freight cars is bound to hit
the Ford company along with the rest
Railroad companies recognize the situa-
ton as holding serious possibilities and
are doing everything in their power to
fOrestall the condition which seems al
most certain to come with the first Sc
