-FOUR STATE School
HEADS ARE WOMEN
Government In ksrsrt Also Shows
rs County Experiments Of Sex.

Washington, ID. G.. Jan. %
How women have advanced to
the highest administrative posi-
ton in the public schools is re-
vealed in figures compiled by the
United States Bureau of Educa-
ton.
Four states-Colorado, Idaho,
Washington and Wyoming, have
women at the head of their
State school systems, and there
are now 495 women county su-
perintendts in the United States
nearly double the number of ten
years ago.
In some states women appear
to have a monopoly of the higher
positions in the public school
system. Wyoming has woman
State superintendent, the deputy
State superintendent is woman
and of the fourteen counties in
the State all but one are directed
educationally by women.
In Montana, where there are
thirty counties, only one man is
reported as holding the position
of county superintendent.
The increase of women county
superintendent is most con-
spicuous in the West, but is not
confined to that Section, New
York reports fortytwo women
district superintendent, as
against twelve school commits
sioners in 1900.
Other states showing marked
increase are: Iowa, from 13 in
1900 to forty four in 1912; Kan
sas, from twenty-six in 1900 to
forty nine in 1912; Nebraska,
from ten to forty-two in the
same period; North Dakota,
from ten to twenty four; Okla
homa, seven to fourteen. In
only two States is a decrease re-
ported-Tennessee had nine in
1900 and only five in 1912, and
Utah has one less than decade
ago.
With the advancementof WON
en- in the administrative branch
of education has come a demand
for women on local school boards,
and this demand has been recog-
nized in many communities.
The following cities Of 100, 600
population or over report one or
more women on the School
Board: New York, Chicago, Gle
veland, San Francisco, Milwau-
kee, Washington, Indianapolis,
Rochester, ST. Paul, Denver,
Columbus, Worcester, Grand
Rapids, Cambridge and Fall
River. Numerous smaller mu-
inequalities have adopted the
idea.
The important places assigned
to women in American education
has become so usual as to ex-
cite little comment in this coun-
try, yet American conditions in
this respect are the reverse of
those of most nations.
1t is probably safe to say that
in no country in the world are
there as many women teachers
prOpOrtionately as in the United
States; in fact, men teachers
greatly outnumber the women
in most FurODean countries

FEW KNOW OF COST
OF BUILDING CARS
Average Person Intending to
Buy Automobile Often Has
Erroneous Ideas.

Whether the cost OF automobiles will
be lowered depends on discovering new
ways Of applying labor and more ef-
ficient manufacturing methods. The
average person intending to buy a
car has absolutely no idea of the real
cost of building a motor car.
He thinks the castings and other
parts are quickly made ard that ma
terials are inexpesive. Tell the average
person that certain casting. of
aluminium, would cost about f35 or $40
to the manufacturer and he would be
astonished. One who Is not familiar
with the construction of an automobile
does not begin to realize the immense
amount of work necessary in getting
every part absolutely right. He does
not understand that every part must
be fitted exactly or the car cannot give
good service.
1t is when the owner has 10 buy new
parts that ne awakes to the real cost
of making a car. He never before has
had any idea of what the real cost is.
and when he finds out he believes he is
being charged extortionately, wher In
fact he usually gets extras at Just
about what they cost the manufacture
er. This is a point every motor car
owner who thinks he has kick
coming should remember.

MOTOR MAKERS ARE
SLAVES TO PUBLIC
WelI-known Man in Trade TsIIs
Why Manufacturers Must
Cater to Buyers.

In the motor car industry the mana
facturer must cater to the Wishes e
the public more than In any other tusf-
ness" says a man who Is prominent n
the automobile trade Of the country.
He claims that the manufacturer who
produces a car entirely according to he
own tastes Is lucky II that car makes 3
success.
The manufacturer must know what
the public wants." says the maker b
question, land. when the public changes
its mind. then he must change his car
to suit the public mind II you viii fol-
low the courses Of the most successful
motor car builders you will see thot
their success has been almost entirely
due to their ability to read the pub1lo
demand
when cars were first made aImcU1
any machine would do. just 20 II looked
we'll The people did not think 20 mucn
about service as the fact that they were
able to own car, and just 20 that caF
had an attractive appearance. they yer0
pleased. Some manufacturers started
out with ideas which meant better serv~
ice, and were not SO successful az tho
fellows who merely catered to pub11o
whims.
'.Of course, the cars that have beeQ
built with a certain idea In view haW
been fairly successful. yet today the
are Just coming into their own. bec1uoG

NEW MICHIGAN LAW
AROUSES INTEREST
Wolverine State, Forbids Sale
of GasoIene Below Certain
Specific Gravity.

Deep concern has been manifested in
certain quarters because of the enact
ment by the Michigan Legislature of i
law forbidding the sale of "'gasolene"
of less than a certain specific gravity.
1t has been feared that the example
might lead to similar enactments in
other States. with the result that oil
refiners would be enabled to exact eX-
orbitant prices for gasolene on the pre-
text that increasing demand must be
met without an cffsst in mcai.s 4, =
crease the quantity. ACTUAL" - o..
ton of this sort should be welcomed
provided it goes no further in its def
milton of 'gasolene' than has the Michi-
gan law" says a motorist who knows
something about gasolene.
THE effect is not to stop the sale OF
fuels of lower gravity than gasolene.
but to force the producers to market
them under other names. In conse-
quence the user is taught more speedily
than he otherwise might be that not
one, but many substitutes for gasolene
are possible; he learns to discriminate
In his fuel Durchases-or Ui -
From this very fact the oil producer
Is encouraged to market openly fuels

who took a prominent part in the re-

Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea was E. c. Tibbetts. manager Of the
advertising department of the B. +.
Goodrich Company, of Akron. Ohio. As

advertising copy OF the Goodrich and
Diamond Tire Company.
Following the merger of the Diamond
Tire Company with the B. F. Good
rich Company. Mr.. Tibbetts assumed
charge of the advertising department
of the two companies. At the Adver-
tisinS Convention in Baltimore, Mr.
Ttbbetts read a paper in which he dealt
with advertising agents. In his paper
Mr.. Tibbetts made the point that the man
or institution that works on a national
scale cannot afford to bother with too
much detail. His habit should be to
let George do it, as far as possible.

.UNSPRUNG WEIGHT
BIG MOTOR FACTOR
Cost Of Upkeep, Particularly in
Tires, Is Largely Effected
BY Work Of Springs.

Many people have not heard much
about inspiring weight says q man
who has followed the automobile BUSH
ness from its inception. But inspiring
weight has a great deal to do with
operating cost and with comfort and
safety OF an automobile. Unsprung
weight Is made up Of the parts be-
tween the road and the springs Of the
car. The big items are the rims,
wheels. hubs. axles. gears. and trans
mission, II 1t Is located on the axle.
when the wheel Of a car drops into
hole or hits a stone, the force of the
blow on the tire Is directly propor-
toned to the inspiring weight. Since
the springs do not support the inspiring
weight they cannot absorb any Of the
shock. Therefore the tire takes all the
blow. The result in injury to the tire
when weight Is added is probably great
er than the ratio of the weights as the
tire Ii undoubtedly stressed beyond the
elastic limit with the blow from the
heavier load.
"A very simple test to show the ef-
feet Of inspiring weight can easily be
made II one will jump off a platform
with a ten-pound dumb-bell In each
hand. Then take the same iump with
twenty-pound dumb-bells and there will
be a wonderful difference in the blow
In fact, the heavy dumb-bells will prob
ably be dropped.
THE tires get the same treatment
when subjected to heavy blows from
excess unsprung weight But, instead
Of dropping the weight, the tires take
the strain and finally blow out"

MOTOR TRUCK NOW
UPON SOUND BASIS
Manufacture and Sale Settle
Down to Business Princi.
Piles, Says Dealer.

Motor truck manufacture and sale
is rapidly settling down to sound busi-
ness principles. and a consequent sur
vival Of the fittest," says the head Of a
big motor truck company Like all
young industries, 1t sported its 'swad-
ding clothes much too confidently, and,
passing through the usual purgatory Of
expensive experience, has now taken Its
place as a solid proposition, with most
Of the important mechanical. financial,
and distribution problems settled right.
There have been failures, as in every
other new line. but most of them can be
traced to an inadequate appreciation Of
the necessity of thorough organization.
A company starting the manufacture Of
motor vehicles must secure high-class
representation. To market q commodity
of this nature means that statesmen Of
ability and integrity must be secured.
and. above all. service to owners must
be given. 1t is not enough that the
truck Ia good-it must be kept on the
job and to insure this local branches.
thoroughly equipped and manned with
skilled labor. must be maintained.
What all truck manufacturers mcst
desire at the present time Is greater
interest and cooperation on the part Of
owners in operating and maintaining
their trucks. The seller can only ad-
wise; it Is up to the buyer to execute.
and II is very disappointing to note how
few cases there are where the proper
serious study is given to loading and
unloading methods and other features
of maintenance and operation that.
properly solved. would result in greatly
lessened cost and increased efficiency.

WOMEN DRIVERS OF
MOTOR CARS LAUDED
Detroit Manufacturer Believes
GentIer Sex Is More Careful
Than Man in Machines.

That women should be praised as
drivers of automobiles rather than
criticised. is the opinion held by one Of
the leading Detroit manufacturers. He
bases his views on investigations made
recently in Los Angeles. His views are
of more than ordinary interest.
Among other things he says:
Ninety per cent Of the women hand
ling automobiles in Los Angeles are as
capable of driving their cars as men
who have had similar experience. So
many men who have had similar ex-
perience. So many pilots ridiculed
the efforts of feminine drivers that /
thought the subject might prove an
interesting study. I had SO often heard
men say that they liked to keep their
own machine as far away as possible
from one driven by a woman, that /
finally kept tab.
I'm exactly 90 per cent Of the accidents
recorded in Los Angeles during the past
six weeks. men were to blame. Perhaps
the period of time chosen did not repre-
sent the average, but II shows that the
fair pilots have been maligned. The
percentage of women handling cars
there is placed at Il per cent. SO you
can easily see how they are out-num-
bered by careless or incompetent drivers
of the opposite sex.
"One thing that has given the woman
driver confidence has been the marvellous
growth of the electric automobile bust
ness. The cars are light and their easy
control permits Of those driving them to
traverse the downtown streets at the
busiest hours of the day without fear.
Many women graduate from the electric
to the big gasoline car and they proyN
that their electric apprenticeship Was
well spent"

Some Don'ts You Should
Remember.

Don't try to run without oil or
water; 1t will only make busi.
ness for the repair man. Next
follow the several cautions:
Don't use the casing after 1t Is
worn to the extent that 1t shows
the canvas; have It retreaded to
prolong its service. Put your
repaired tires on the front
wheels.
Keep tires well pumped up, nc.
cording to information advanc.
ed by the maker.
If tires begin to show wear on
one side from running In ruts,
or other causes, II Is . good
plan to turn them around; In
that way the life Of the tire may
be prolonged.
