A FORD BANK.

To handle the trem endous financial business of the Ford Motor Go, a bank was organized in August, 1909, and to-day sitsis one Of the most pros porous banking institutions in the country.
 It has no direct connection, of course with the Ford company, but James Couzens, general manager. of the Ford company, is president, MT. Ford is a stockholder and other people interested in the Ford company have an interest in the bank.
 It's business is not confined to the Ford company as Highland Park, a suburb of Detroit in which the Ford plant is located, has had a tremer- dous growth in the past few years and is a live prosperous city of between 40, 1000 and 50,oOo people. It Is in reality a part of Detroit, adjoining that city and getting fire protection, water and lighting service from De- troit, although it has never been for mally annexed.
 The bank is known as the High land Park State Bank and. according to it's statement of June 24, it has re- sources of $3,O19s787.2e with deposits both commercial and savings. of $2,- 710, ,3o5.18.
 The bank building conforms archi- tectura1fy to the buildings of the Ford company and Is situated across the street from the Ford plant.

AUTOS FOR sUBURBANs.

Stewart McDonaId, vtce-president of the Moon Motor Car Company, who is keenly alive to the wonderful progress that the automobile has stimulated in the last few years, believes that the spreading out to the suburbs made possible by the rise of the automobile as a dependable means of transporta- ton. has had a decidedly benefcial eff feet on those who have remained In the city because it has assisted mater tally in relieving congestion. Y
 ''Men have learned that they can live in the suburban districts in an airy cottage and have an automobile to take them back and forth from the city almost as cheaply as they former ly lived in high-priced apartments in exclusive sections.
 "But more than the saving effected is the healthfu1 influence the country air IS having. Men who have so tied down to business that they were nev- CT able to get into the fresh air for recreation save found that needed re- creation in their automobiles to and from work.

and one piece of mechanism. The truck Is fitted with a 1,O0o- gallon oil tank, and this tank is covered with a coating of asbestos two-inches thick to retain heat Oil is run into the tank $50 degrees Fahrenheit Thanks to the asbestos protection and the speed the truck can make, 1t Is pos sibIe to make trip of thirty-f1ve to forty miles before the oil gets too cold for use.
 Air pressure of sixty pounds to the square inch is maintained inside the tank by an air compressor operated by the same mechanism used to actu- ate a dumping body for sand and gravel. Heat from the motor ex- haust is used to keep the oil spreader warm so that the stuff will not thick en and clog up there. The truck trav- els fifty miles 8 day and the driver says that in 1000 miles only two in- voluntary stops were necessary on the road-bothl caused by dirty gasoline stopping up the fuel line.

ON COAL oIL.

One of the cars on the Pacific Coast trip of Indiana automobiles is doing it on old fashioned grocery store coa oil It looks to motorists like a dream coming true a dream of cheaper fuel, a dream of fuel cost cut in two. From the consumers point of view the progress of the kerosene car in the big ranscontinental tour will be one of the most interesting features of the IndianarPa acific trip. The consumer has seen the price of gasoline whooped up notch by notch, sometimes a. little at a whoop, some times a whole lot at 8 whoop. He has wondered where he was going to have to get off and go back to the horse and buggy. The price of gasoline has almost driven him to the market page to look up the price of hay.
 The Hendersons of Indianapolis, makers of Henderson cars are eI1deav- bring to put 9. kerosene trail across the ma.p-to pioneer the proposition of an economical filler for the motor car fuel tank. Henderson cars are equipped with the new HarrOun car buretor, which burns kerosene, motor spirits or gasoline. There are two Henderson cars in the tour. One of them is trav cling on gasolfne-the other on kerosene. They are trying to establish two records: One that of crossing the country on kerosene for the first time in hfstorZ;athe other that of making the trip from Indian apolis to Los Angeles on less gasoline than any other car that ever went over the route-for the Harroun car buretor is said to be a wonder at spreading a gallon of oil out over a long stretch of road.
 Ray Harroun is the inventor of the kerosene carburetor-betng a technt- cal motor car engineer as well as race H TTa the carburetor and has already proved it the first successful gerosene carbu retor in the world. The carburetor has been given many exhaustive tests.

 CITY STREETS!

The passing of the horse and the substitution of the automobile is the reason. <
 Stewart Mcdonald, vice-president of the Moon Motor Car Company, says the recent action of the street depart ments of Chicago, New York and Kan sas City. in selling their street sprink- lers and substituting washing appara- tus will be followed very shortly by similar action in other cities.
 Street department officials have found dthat the same payroll will clean and wash the streets as has been used for sprinkling them. The wash ing each night removes the dust and the further elimination daily of the horse for city use does away with filth which now draws flies and produces germs.
 e.The time is not far distant when the horse will be entirely out. Then the general use or asphalt And wood blocks for all city streets will be found more practicable and the ques- ton .sof cleaning the streets will be greatly simpl1hed. With cleaner streets the sanitary condition of cities and the health of the people will be vastly improved.

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE.


 There is a vast amount of experi- mental work under way both in Amer ica and abroad with the object of ut1l- izing fuels other than gasoline for the propulsion of automobiles. but firmly believe that motorists will never ac- cept any other fuel than gasoline . gays President L. G. Hupp of the Fri bune Motor Company. .and that the solution of the problem will be great CT efficiency in motor car mechanism so that the actual cost per gallon mile will be much less than 1t is at pres ent-''
 Tests show that under cartain me- chanicai conditions, over 8os4niles per gallon of gasoline can be pbfa1ned in car in the medium price Glass. It therefore becomes simply an en zine er- ing and de5igning problem, and while cars in this class will probably never accomplish 80 miles on gallon of gasoline under average conditions, the increased mileage that will be obtain ed with improved design will in all probability make gasoline much less expensive. relatively. than it is at present.

 For the first time since 1910 fatal automobile accidents for June fail to show an increase over the preceding month. The total number killed in June this year by automobiles was twenty, of whom thirteen were chill dren, against a total of twenty-three in May.

INGENIOUS USE MADE or TRUcK

To spread oil on roads for. a dis tance of twenty miles or more from the starting point and to spread it at a heat of 200 degrees or more would seem to be an extremely difficult un- dertaking, requiring lot of appara- tus and a lot of men.

INCREASED FARM VALUES.

Every automobile in service increas- es the value of farm lands in the couu- try $2 per acre, according to J. " Moon, president of the Moon Moto1. Car Company, who has made an ez- haustive study of statistics and who has had a wide experience in digest ing statistics on farm machinery.
 Tn spite of the fact that $500, ,00o,- 900 Is spent annually for automobiles and automobile supplies. says MT. Moon, the country banker no longer throws up hs hands in horror and trHvagance. Several years ago the country banker saw his ruin every time one of his farmer clients took money out of his bank to buy an au- tomobile.
 with s8oo,ooo, 900 expended an nuaIly for automobiles statistics show that the values of farm lands in the country have increased at least $6O0,- ooo.0
 There are two important factors that control farm values. Produc- tiveness Is the first; accessibility is the second. Land near to cities and towns was formerly worth much more per same pro ductfveness. To-day the au- tomobile has brought that land close to town by facilitating transportation and correspondingly increasing the value per acre.
 Economists may say such a, large expenditure is wastefu1 but when the facts are considered from the view point that the automobilists has so trenfendously- increased transportation facilities in this country they can but agree that this money Is wisely spent. Because the country has suffered inn mensely from the lack of transporta- ton faciIities.''
