MAGNITUDE OF AUTO
INDUSTRY is SHOWN

A good idea OF the magnitude or
the automobile industry for 1918 can:
be obtained from the figures of one
of the leading magnetic factories who'
will turn out 100000 ignition instru-
ments this year. The Splitdorf Elec-
trical Co, one of the Oldest and pi-
oneer ignition houses, have taken
one order OF $4,000 magnetos alone
from the Willys-Overland Co., and
their orders from the Chalmers Mo-
tor Co. the Maxwell Motor. Co.. and
the Abbott Motor Co.. will total their
entire production Of magnetos TO q
hundred thousand instruments. This
condition OF the automobile trade
shows that there is no dimunition
OF selling in thu industry and that
the Torrlngton Co., OF Torrington,
Conn. made no mistake when they
acquired the Splitdorf Electrical Co.
into their gigantic $3,0OO,000 merger
last summer.

Whether John North slept during
his last night in Jail the deputy sner-
in did not know, for that kindly httie
man kept his arms folded across ms
breast and his face TO the wall. Inc
night wore itself out. and at last pare
indications OF the dawn crept into the
room. There was the song or the
birds and little later the rumble OF
an occasional wagon over the pa.eu
streets. North stirred and opened MS
eyes.

lifting his head. At last the letter
was finished and inclosed with a briei
note to the general.
The pen dropped from Norths
fingers and he stood erect, ne was
aware that men were still speaking
below his window. then he heard foot-
falls i'm the corridor, and turned TO-

two men. They walked the length OF

and entered the jail office. North
turned -GehhiiH
