USES OF ALUMINIUM IN
 MANUFACTURING AUTOS

Although the Pierce-Arrow factory has been using cast aluminium since 1914 it has only been in the last two or three years that the usage of this material in motor cars has become general and even now the Pierce-Arrow is the only com pany that uses this material exclusively in building it's touring and enclosed bodies, is the assertion of R. c. Elston, general manager of the Birmingham Motor com pany distributor of the Picrce-Arrow car in this district.
 Its uses, at first, were confined to dashes. seats and doors. as it was thought that the pure aluminium could not be cast thin, and adding of other metal made it too heavy" continued Mir Elston.
 Later experiments showed, however, that pure aluminium could be successfully cast in any size and as thin as one-eighth of an inch or thinner. This made it pos sible to make bodies lighter than the sheet metal construction by casting this kind of body was found to have many advantages over any other material.
 "On account of having rigid surface, they will not dent easily in handling-an objectionable feature of bodies made out of sheet metal. There is also an in creased factor of safety to the occupants to be considered. In case of accidents and smash-ups, cast aluminium body will not crush as easily as a sheet metal body and is thus much safer to ride in"

UNMISTAK ABLE SIGNS OF
 RISING PROSPERITY

Unmistakable evidence of rising pros perity that will affect the entire country comes from Texas and Oklahoma. In Texas cotton is again king and in Okla homa business has completely recovered from the disasterous imitation that accom- panied its recent unhealthful boom.
 This cheering news has been received by the Morris Westall Auto company, agent for the Paige car in the Birming- ham district, from Henry Krohn, sales manager for the Paige factory, who has just returned from an extensive trip through these two states. MT. Krohn visited all sections of Texas and Okla homa to examine into business conditions, inspect crops, study and financial out look and also for the purpose of revising Paige distribution in the southwest
 'The conditions I fo,nd," said MT. Krohn, "are especially pleasing to motor car manufacturers because with good crops money plentiful and prosperity at the door the sales of cars of recognized value will be enormous in this territory. Few people realize what an immense mar ket for good motor cars Texas will pro- vide. The Lone Star state will soon be among the first six states of the union as a consumer of automobiles and I pre- dict that eventually she will De a second California in her whole-hearted adoption of the automobile

YOUNG TALKS ABOUT
 GASOLINE CONSUMPTION

According to w. H. Young, city sales manager fe~ the Haynes Auto company, state distributors for the Haynes car, the construction of the motor has much to do with the gasoline consumption of a motor car
 The different arrangements of the valves and the general shape of the compression chamber have little effect on the ordinary touring motor" states Mir. Young.
 Tt is true that these factors do play an important part in racing motors, hut here the motor is running at a sreed far in excess of that attained in the ordinary business and pleasures cars," further asserts the Haynes sales manager.
 "The construction of the intake man fold leading from the carburetor to the cylinders has very direct bearing on the fuel consumption as well as the general performance of the motor A long manifold with large surfaces ex- posed to the air can be taken as a good indicator of an unnecessary waste of gasoline. In some instances the car buretor is water jacketed so as to sup rly heat to assist in the vaporization of the gasoline. This is admirable as far as 1t goes, but in the usual practice the warm vapor leaves the carburetor and comes in contact with the cooler walls of the manifold and is partially con densed.
 / Tn the Haynes new model 30 light six an ideal arrangement has been at tained. The carburetor has been placed high up on the motor and practically none of the intake manifold is exposeG to the afr, so that the entire manifold proper is within the cylinder casting. The intake passages through the east ing are designed so as to be surround ed comnletely by water.o

SUCCESSFUL YEAR AT
 IYS-OVERLAND FACTORY

Fifty thousand cars were constructs ea by the Willys-O Overland company at it's Toledo plant during the past year and reports show that this is the most successful period that the company has yet enjoyed.
 On account of the rapid increase in sales it has been found necessary to enlarge the factory to care for the enormous increase in production that will be attempted in 1915.
 John N Willys of the Willys- Over land company in an interview in Lon don, recently made public the fact that 15.0e0 Overlands would be built during ihe coming year. That Mr. Willys' con fidenee is well justified is proved by events of the past three weeks. In IS business days this entire proposed production amounting to S75,000 900 worth Of motor cars has been contract ed for by dealers in the United States aid foreign countries. Every square foot of sale sterritory in the United States has been applied for and allotted to some overland dealer.
 'The continued demand for Overland cars furnishes convincing evidence that in spite of all the talk we hear about hard times the American people have the money to spend for automobiles if they can get what they want" says MT N5llys. 'nhe Overland automobile is the fruition of a number of years of effort devoted to developing the type of car which appeals to the great ma- iolity of Americans The optimistic

Eyes of Motor World Fixed
 On Detroit Conventions
Packard and Hup Dealers ThereOne Fourth of Motor Cars in World Owned in United States -WillysOver-
 land Company Has Successful Year
By ASA RousTREsr. JR-

HE holding of two large automobile
 conventions of late has focused
 the attention of the motor world on Detroit with eager expectancy. The meetings were those of the Packard deal CTS and Hup dealers from all parts of the country. Representatives of the Hup concern convened at the factory on July 80, and continued in session through --u- gust l. The Packard agents opened their conference on August 5. and will adjourn today.
 r -9resentatives of the two firms were called to Detroit for the purpose of in speeting the 1915 models and with their return motor enthusiasts will get their first glimpse of the 1915 stock, as many plan to bring these new cars back with them. Some will be shipped, while sev- eral of the dealers intend to tour back home.
 Dealers from all parts of the country attended the two conventions and aside from the business end, several social fea- lures enlivened their stay in Detroit
 A unique feature of the Packard con ference was the procession of new Pack ard cars through many of the main ave- nues of Detroit. These were driven by the agents. and all of the new styles were exhibited, many for the first time.
 The visitors spent a greater part of theft sojourn in attendance at a special sales session at the factory where a

MISSING FRENCH STATUETTE
Victory Held in Napoleon's Hand
 Found After Many Years

After long search the last statuette of Victory, which rested in the left hand of the statue of Napoleon atop the Colonne Vendome has been found in England, ac- cording to a Paris letter printed in the New York Sun. The column was thrown down by the communards on May 16, 1871. Until recently no trace had been found of the statuette. which stood about IS inches high. Now an English woman liv- ing in Edmunds comes forward with the statement that the statuette is in her possession. She writes that the statuette was picked up by her father, who was in Paris all through 1871, and was present when the column was pulled down.
 The statuette of Victory, she says, rolled literally at her fathers feet and he carried it away. One arm of the statuette was broken in the fall, but this has been patched up. The question of how to get 1t back to France has not yet been de- cided.
 In the 4S years that the statuette had been missing numerous searches were undertaken. but always with the same result-reports that some one had seen the statuette at sometime or other after it was thrown down, from the top of the column. One story said that the statuette was picked up by cook in the employ of the Prince won Metternick. The Illustra- ton gives another version: "The day of the overthrow of the Coonne Vendome or the next day this statuette found it's way into the collection of Richard Wal lace, in the Rue Lafitte. Scott, later Sir John Murray Scott, confidential man in Richard Wallaces employ, either picked it up in the Place Vendome on the even ing of May 16, or some one knowing Mir Wallace's tastes notified him where it could be found. At any rate Scott paid 50 francs ($10 to have the statuette taken to his house"
 Frederic Harrison in his Memoirs says that he saw the statuette one day, it hay ing been shown him by member of the English colonly in Paris who had picked it up The remnants of the Wallace col lection. which had been left to Sir John Murray Scott, passed into the hands of Lady Sackville. whose will suit is still of recent memory. The collection has only recently been dispersed.

From the Houston Post.
 Sunday afternoon the infants class had come to an end and the teacher closed her book, more than satisfied with the interest which had been shown by the boys throughout the lesson. Before departing, however, she decided to try to reap some of the fruit of her labors, so turning to the class, she said:
 Now, would any of you like to ask me any questions? I have a few minutes to spare, so if there is anything you want to know don't hesitate to ask.''
 Little Freddie rose to his feet with an eagerness which delighted his instructor.
 Please, teacher" he inquired without the semblance of a blush have you got any cigarette pictures on you?'

1,4OO, ,OOO AUTOMOBILES ARE

 In Germany there are only Ss.000 auto mobiles. of which G0,000 are passenger cars. according to Johnny Aitken of the national experimental department, who is now in Europe This is less than the number Of automobiles in either Califor- mia or New York state.
 With a population of 70 per cent of that of the United States. such a contrast reflects credit on the prosperity of this country as compared with Germany
