Dealers" may not have occurred to you. It
means, in a word, that we not only have the
cars the connoisseurs desire, but that we are
now ready to manufacture them in numbers
sufficient to supply the nsistent demand.
YOUR DEALER SEEMS TO HAVE kind of
sixth sense when it comes to picking the VIM
ner in the selling field from season to season.
HE KNOWS: He has his finger on the pulse of
the buyer his eyes on the makers all the time.
And he seldom guesses wrong. The successful
dealer never-that's why he succeeds.
THIS IS A FAST MOVING, quick-forgetting
business. Watching it is like looking thru a
kaleidoscope. 1t is ever changing.
THE DEALER KNOWS-and you can't 60
wrong by following his lead for, you see he
is looking for the same things you are seek
ing-only from different angle.
HE WANTS CARS that sell themselves. You
never knew dealer to 60 cunning for trouble,

NOT HE. HE FOLLOWS THE TREND of
fashion in design, the progress of the science
of metalurgy and manufacture. And when
he sees concern leading in these, he goes hot
foot after that line of cars.
WE HAVE CONCENTRATED our tremend-
GUS factory facilities; re-arranged and re-
equipped the plants for economical produc-
ton of automobiles in large quantities.

belle their reputation for astuteness If they

ARMSTRONG TO COACH
Yale Crews-Yale Graduate System Of
Coaching to Be Retained.

New Haven. CT, Dec 14-Capt. T. p

tonight, that Richard Armstrong. Yale
20, mas been appointed head coach of
the Yale crews. Guy Nickalls of Eng
land has been asked to help Armstrong
and 1t is probable will accept. They were
here and met the members of the Yale
rowing squad
Although none of the Yale rowing off,
Gals would talk for publication, tonight,
1t is generally agreed that the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Armstrong as head coach
means the retention of the Yale graduate
system of coaching
1t is understood he will be paid a SAL
ary 1t is thought that Armstrong will
abandon the so-called English stroke at
Yale and re-introduce the Good" stroke
or a variation of it.
Last year, the Yale crews were coached
by Harcourt Gold and j. w. Kirby,
prominent English oarsmen, and British
methods were adopted throughout Yale's
showing against Harvard on the Thames
in June was discouraging, the defeat be-
ing a decisive one Undergraduates and
graduates denounced the British stroke
time in addition to being to exhaustive
on the men. From all sides came strong
criticism of the coaching methods until
finally the rowing committee was forced
to reconsider. Yale men freely predict.
tonight that with the revival of the Bob
Cook stroke sometimes called the yale
stroke" the Blue will regain it's lost
prestige on the water.

ed as follows:
without counting the 100000 men of
the national army, the government, in
agreement with various states of the
republic, has organized an armed force
for the local service of 1000 men from
each state. Also the government has
arranged with $1,000 hacienados that
they keep 10 armed workmen each for
their own protection.
Thus then, the government counts
unon the number of armed men aggre-

ton the reserves which to the number
OF 300, 900, could be organized If the
peace of the country should be dis
