WAR MAKES WOMEN WORK.

In Europe women IRE demonstrating

Portugal entirely removed from their

s1.s5o FOIR 4O HoRsE POWER.


 Following it's adopted policy of of fering motor car purchasers the best that can be produced at the price. the Moline Automobile Company. makers of Moline motor cars. has announced that the New Series Moline 40 horse power car will hereafter sell for $1.- $50.
 Among the added features Is a full floating rear axle, new type of body with bell shaped back, ammeter on the dash, improved cranking genera tor. a better grade of leather and fab rics used in upholstertng and top work and other refinements.
 The most important change 8 the installation of the full floating rear axle, which supplants the seni-float- ing design used on previous series. The wheels are carried on double an nula.r ball bearings and the wheel f1ange is fastened to the wheel by eight studs and nuts. The new Moline type of rear construction permits the removal of the axle shaft without JackinG' up the wheels.
 There are two motor changes-the Tightening of the piston and de- crease in weight of the reciprocating parts which makes for less vibration and wear. Aside from these two changes the Moline New Series will be produced as before with a four cy- finder motor of 1S inch bore and six inch stroke.

MOTOR CAR ETIQUETTE.

Since the motor car Became a prom inent vehicle the etiquette Of the driver has been a subject of contro- versy. Fortunately common sense had entered into the rules of the drivers behavior If his hands are employed with the wheel and the gears. it is enough to expect him to nod or salute in the acknowledgment of the greetings of friends, without lifting his hat or cap,
 When other persons are waiting to pull up to a curb, it becomes nl1is- ance for a driver to alight, open the door and assist an able-bodied woman out, whether 1t be his mother, wife friend or employer. It was not done in the carriage days owing to the risk of laying the retns down, and the driver of a car has as many excuses for re- naining in his seat as the coachman.

a 4S-hr. week at the same or a. great CT wage than before and allowing sev- eraI hours of daylight in most sea- sons, for individual use.
 The method distributing the bo- nus is extremely interesting, as it has no relation to the wage of the indi- yiduaI. The basis seems to be the old saying that reads, from every man according to his ability. to every man according to his needs.'
 A sociological bureau determines the distribution of the bonus, and while this may be criticised by some as being open to a5buses as long as MT: abuse is not likely to occur. The main object of the bonus or share in the profits seems to be to better the home conditions of all the workers. but par ticu1arIy those who have generally been neglected in the past.
 A sweeper with large family. an invalid wife or child. may get a larger bonus than a skilled toolmaker, who has no such responsibilities. The tool makers wage is much higher and his total income larger, but his share of the bonus may be less
 In most cases the age at which par ticipation begins is 22 years, but if a man marries before that age he re- ceives the bonus, or if he is a. neces- sary part of the family support, he may participate regardless of age The question of being a, necessary part of the family support receives careful attention, as it is N1r F.ord's desire to prevent boys and girls going to work at too early an age. Should a lajborer put his boy or girl to work before the age of 16 or IT. he loses part of his low of longer schooling for boys or girls

A. L. A. PATROL PROVES SUCCESS.

As an experiment, the Automobile Legal Association last year employed a small squadron of n1otorcyclists to patrol the roads of Rhode Island, Mas sachusetts and New Hampshire. So successful was the experiment that this year the force has been increased to 80 men. Primarily the duty of these riders is to patrol the roads, g1v- ing assistance wherever needed, to members of the A. L. A However, they also play the Good Samaritan to all automobiles and motorcycIists. They also report to the association in stances of reckless driving. There are four divisions of this squadron, with headquarters in Boston, Springfield, Providence and Worcester, and the riders will cover from 2.50o to 5000 miles a day.

NUTMEG STATE IS EIGHTH IN NUMBER
 OF AUTO OWNERS

I Only seven states in the union have I more automobiles per capita than the ] state of Connecticut, according to
 statistics compiled by automobile en- l thusiasts. Unusual as it may seem tn 6 I leading states in the ownership of
 cars are the western states and the majority of the cars in these states are the property of farmers who in | this way keep in easy communication l with the townships and cities, in order | that they may dispose of their produce at the highest profit.
 The per capita for this state is one l automobile to every hfty-one inhaoi tants. There is a. total number of 21,- | S29 in the state. However, this is not the number of cars that are in opera
 ton in the state, for on holidays and Sundays the highways of the state are 1 crowded with cars from New York, and other surrounding cities, nearly doubling the number running in the state on these days.
 Iowa leads in the number of auto mobiles per capita, owning 68, ,120 au- tomobiles a per capita rate of one to every thirty-three residents of the state. Over one half of this number is owned by farmers who use them for both business and pleasure. One week days to haul their produce to the markets, and on Sundays for pleasure outings.
 South Dakota comes next with one
 
 thinIy settled is this state that there are but 14,Os0 cars. North Dakota, is next with one to every forty-hve in habitants and a, total of 12,925. Min nesota boasts of 43, 700, or one to every 4S inhabitants. Washington, Cali fornia, and New Jersey tie for a per capita of one for every 50, while Kan sas is tied with Connecticut for l.seVenth honors with a, total of S2,9SO cars. The District of Columbia has 14,116, a per capita of one to every 23 residents
 The greatest number of cars oper- ated in a single state in New York where 121, 793 cars are registered, with a per capita rate of only one to every ' 4 persons in the Empire state. Cali fornia is a close second in actual num- bers. having 118,135 running on her highways.
 Possibly the lonesomest state as re- gards automobiles is the state of New Mexico, which has but 765 automo- piles in her confines, and only one to every 423 of her residents. The scar city of automobiles in this state is due. to both the sparsity of population, and to the peculiar character of the soil which covers the state, and makes the successful operation of an automobile extremely difficult.
 Mississippi, while having 3, 100 ma chimes has but one to every 580 resi- dents, due to the great numbers of negroes that live there. Arkansas one for every 436 inhabitants and S6O9 registered cars Other states where the ratio is low are Kentucky one to 335 residents, Utah, one to 263, West Virginia one to 24S, North Carolina, one to 2S7, Louisiana, one to 236, Vtr- ginia, one to 234, and Oklahoma one to 205. The other states range from one to 51 to one to 200.

oIDFTETD BUYS PACKARD.

Barney Oldheld. who led the Amer ican drivers in the Speedway Races at Indianap oils. visited the Packard fac tory at Detroit this week and pur- chased a Packard "4-4S.'' As there was no car available for immediate delivery, Barney admitted he would be satisfied with the phaeton which had been reserved for the personal use of AlVan Macauley, the vice-presi- dent and general manager.
 "All right, Barney, you're on,' said ATr. Ma.cauley. O1d6eld wrote a cheek and drove the car away with him. Oldfeld says that while he is planning to spend the summer in contest work throughout the United States, he bought the new Six for the purpose of touring between cities.
 The Srrepresstble Barney declares that racing cars are satisfactory when travelling rapidly enough to substitute excitement for resiliency, but that easy riding springs and extra inches of up holstery are appreciated none the less by daredevil drivers who find pleas ure in touring.
