Atlantic City. April ls-Atlantic City

hastened to this popular resort eager to
spend the Easter holidays. Thousands
of visitors appear on the Boardwalk

hardly large enough to accommodate the

never grows tired watching the human
tide which surges up and down the

the crowds are cosmopolitan. so are the
clothes.
The latest modes and Colors are being
tried out by the fashionable and the ultra
smart women who glory in showing their
handsome costumes at so famous a re-
sort. The result has been a continuous
stream Of vivid cOlors. for white among
women's gowns is conspicuous by its
absence.
The restaurants and theaters have
hardly been able to accommodate the
crowds and the other attractions have
done a land office business. The piers
are constantly jammed with gOOd-natured
holiday seekers. and the camera man
has an easy time finding subjects for his
ready kodak.

FORD COMPANY TO WAR
ON PATENT NFRINGERS
Will Prosecute Concerns Said to Have
Been Selling Imitation
Ford Parts"

So 1ourishing a business is the sup
plying of replacement parts for Ford
cars by outsiders. that the Ford Motor
Company. of Detroit. Mich. is taking
steps to protect this feature Of its busi-
ness and to make things warm for those
whom it regards as infringing on its
patent and trade rights With hundreds
OF thousands of Ford cars in use. the
demand for replacement parts is so great
as to tempt a number Of small-parts
manufacturers to make parts that may
be used in Ford cars. The business in
this line, which has been encouraged
by many jobbers and supply firms. has
grown to such proportions as to threaten
the Ford company's replacement profits.
The substitute parts offered include al
most every part of the car. from valves,
radiator caps. and switches. to wheels.
radiators. and axles. A thriving trade
has been built up with Ford owners and
Ford agents, and many small plant
latterly has been busy turning out some
substitute Ford parts for which its manu-
featuring facilities are suitable.
A complication in the situation arises
from the fact that in addition to parts
and fittings identical in form to those
supplied by the Ford company itself. the
market is flooded with all manner of
parts and devices that are represented
as improvements over the conventional
Ford construction. Owners are urged to
try them when the original part is dam
aged or has to be replaced. The manu-
facturers Of these generally are honest
in disclosing their non-Ford origin. but
in cases Of parts fashioned like those OF
the car as sold by the factory. the owner
often is supplied with the products of
small outside factories having no con-
nection with the Ford company. while
believing that he is getting genuine Ford
made parts from the Detroit factory.
The Ford car is covered by a great
number Of patents, and the company
also has commanding trade right in
the name Ford as applied to auto
mobiles. The making and marking of
imitation Ford parts is to be the first
point of attack, while the business in
parts Suitable for Ford cars will be
the second.

wide agitation is due to the treating habit
Of Americans. In Europe a man con-
sumes his beer, ale, or wine with his
meals, thereby greatly reducing the pos
sibility of intoxication. Also. Europeans
know how to enjoy their beverages with
out getting drunk, and do not make a
practice Of going from one place to an
other in an evening"
Talking OF the temperance wave which
has swept this resort, Mr.. Hillman laid
particular emphasis on the fact that the
enforcement of the dry Sunday law is
a State matter and not the result of any
action on the part OF local officials.
