The local roads are of sole Interest

community become country roads in
their uses and some county roads be-
come state roads by virtue of the traf-
fic they carry. When these changes in
travel occur then should also come the
change in responsibility and adminis-

~ URING the past few weeks the
automobile makers of this coun-

of their 1914 models or in some cases

in other makes.
one of the most recent announce

the Maxwell company. The car by that
name has been retired from this field
for some months but it is announced
that Judge Dan Greene has taken on

AS respects the new car this an
pouncement was made yesterday by
Judge Greene;
In a three-speed announcement
and without reverse English-the Max

finct models before the public as its

"A real six-cylinder car without re-

most sensational feature of the trio
in consideration of the fact that the
price for the six is under $1,000. Not
much under to be sure. but enough un-

FORD CELEBRATES
TED BROWNELL

Ted Brownell, agent for the Ford
car in this state, gave out short
statement yesterday about the celebra-

anniversary He said:
1.-THE Ford Motor company celebrated
its tenth anniversary on Monday. June
Is. There was no particular celebra-
ton but at the main plant in Detroit
the offices Of Mr. Ford and Mr.. Cou-
-zens were decorated with flowers and
many kilograms of congra tulation were
received.
The history of the Ford company is
one of the marvels of the industrial
world. When it began operations III
1903 only 81 men were employed and
the production the first year was 1918
cars. The total floor area was less
than one fourth of an acre.
THE production of cars this year
will approximate 1000, more than
10000 men are employed. and the floor
area of the main and various branch
assembling plants is in excess of 1T
acres.
In addition to this plans are under
way for practically doubling the size

pegs, shaped so as to hook into the nos

and lower lip, which are made of special
soft rubber painted in flesh tint in
most deceptive manner. The chin is also
covered by false beard. AT the back of
this portion there are several small screws
which pass through holes in the tooth

to the artificial upper jaw and palate. The
fourth and last piece is the upper lip and

Studebaker "Six" Engineering

The design of fine six-cylinder car,
especially in the motor, calls for exceptional
skill and wide experience.
Efficiency at all speeds and the absence Of
vibration, which are the unique advantages
of worthy Six, can only be attained by the
most scientific engineering.
To attain perfect results we use experi-
mental laboratories of large size and full
equipment, where every idea built into the
Studebaker "SIX" has been proved correct
beyond the possibility of error.
We work by knowledge, not by theory.
Every ton of steel we buy is first made
according to Studebaker formulas and
later vigorously tested to be sure it is up to
standard.
Throughout the manufacture, which is
carried on entirely in our plants, from forty
huge power hammers which forge out over

MAKING ARTIFICIAL
LIMBS BY NO MEANS
A MODERN PRACTICE
Made With Movable Joints
in Sixteenth Century.
The Prices Vary
Greatly

Man is undoubtedly the superior of the
animal in many ways, but 1t cannot be
concealed that in some things animals
have considerable advantages which we
may well regard with envious eyes, says
the Scientific American. Take the crab
and the lobster Ito mention but cou-
pie by way of example) for instance;
should one of these creatures lose a limb
as the result of accident, attack or
strife, kindly nature at once sets to work
to supply the individual with a fresh
member, quite as good, If not better. than
its predecessor.
Man, on the contrary, has to rely upon
his wits to make good those losses which
result from his wars. street accidents,
railway collisions and other del ex ma
china to which he is exposed at any min
ute Many of the marvellous artificial
aids now obtainable are regarded as es-
sential products of modern times, but,
as a matter of fact, appliances of this
kind are by no means modern. In the
museum of the Royal College of Sur
geons, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, there
is an artificial leg, made about 800 b. c.,
of bronze, wood and iron. Again, who
has not heard of the famous iron hand
made in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1904,
for the German knight. Gotz Won Ber-
lichingen? Among the old-time Indians
ears, noses and lips of plaster were quite
common one of their ordinary punish
ments being to cut off these useful parts
of the human anatomy. Greek and Ro-
man veterans who had lost leg or an
arm in tho wars used to replace them by
very capable substitutes, and Plinius
speaks of a Roman soldier who about $50
years B. c. was famous for his wooden
hand with which he was still able to fight
as an able swordsman. In 1904 the Duke
of Brunswick had to luse an artificial
hand.
