 These new sixes are in reality a later series of the previous models, the 2-SS' and '4-4s,' which were so well received by the motoring public that the demand far exceeded the seasons output
 The most notable change in the ex- terior appearance of the car is in the lamp design. Each of the powerful cleo tric headlights has an auxiliary. head light which has a separate reflector but is an integral part of the same lamp. These auxiliary headlights are designed for city driving or meeting cars on the road but have the added advantage of being supported near the ground so as to throw the light on the road ahead. With the addition of auxiliary head lights, the side lights were reduced in size and are now designed to be used only when the car is standing at the

Theself starter really brought the gas car into class every time the motor is cranked. the driver has to go through the physical work of shifting the gears two dozen times.

6WA Y0HERE does all the money come
 w from? This Is the question that k1 is puzzling the financial world. tgskz&lJ for fiscal experts point to the remarkable anomaly that while the in dustries suffer from depression, automo- bile makers contend their business was never better.
 Reports from several quarters in the automobile industry are extremely opti- nistic with respect to the volume of busi- ness now being transacted and the ex- tensive orders being booked As is gen. eIaly known, the Ford company all though laying off men. is shipping more machines than ever; the General Motors company, considered the largest combi-
 nation in the automobile business, is orly in proportion of the Ford people: the Chalmers Motor company is enjoying large volume of sales, and the opera
 tions of the Studebaker company reflect
 the buoyant optimism now prevailing in
 the trade
 The president of the Lozier Motor com- psny is credited with the statement that 1914 will be the biggest automobile year in his company's history.
 For an industry which turns out a product which is largely a luxury. to flourish when trade in actual necessities is in a stage of depression is an anomaly for which it is difficult to linda plausible explanation.

turning normal profits. In our observa- tions among acquaintonces that is the loudest complaint we hear and most often iE connection with the horseless pleasure car. Secondly, complaints are most fre- quent over the rapid depreciation taking place in cars within even years time. In some cases the depreciation runs as high as 50 pec cent.
 May we ask how long can such waste of capital last, or to put the question in another form: How long can an in dustry continue without undergoing thorough readjustment where the buy CTS experience such abnormal shrinkage within a short time in the value of their purchaser"

in the last few seasons have
 R5z1 found it more to their profit tN8NYJ to devote increasing attention to women. Women appear to be cast the deciding vote on which car?'' Women, with the identification of gas oline cars, are being won over from the electrics as pleasure cars More women are driving gasoline cars this summer than ever before and with the more complete identification of the gas driven cars by the perfecting of the electric gear shift, which eliminates still further any needs of muscular effort by the driver. the bigger gaso- line car dealers are even now planning consistant fall campaigns for feminine favor for their particular cars.
 The growth of popularity of the gas oline cars, with women drivers, can practically be gauged by the progress of their identification. First came the electric lights. which did away with the troublesome lighting of lamps. Then the electric starter that elimi- mated the need of the well developed biceps to turn over a bulky motor, as well as the dangers of back-fire. Next, electric recording devices were estab- lished and now the success of the per fected electric gear shift appears as- sured

Outside of one or two con- cerns none of the local dealers are doing much selling on account of the scarcity of cars and all are awaiting the ship ments of 1915 models These shipments will begin shortly after August 1 and then local trade will begin to flourish again. In the meantime the dealers are not re- maining idle because of their inability to obtain cars and are busy booking orders for models that will be sent from the fac tories shortly.
 Many radical improvements have been made in the 1915 models and auto dealers claim that these will cause an increase in sales because of their attractiveness.
