another may die. Maddened by the
fusillade started by the deputies
while others brought dynamite fron

dynamiters were unable to reach the

the alertness of the deputies. Sharp
shooters for two hours kept up a snip

hoping to hit some officers of the law.

vice through suburban sections. little

The course laid out for these test

FORD CAR SALES
STILL INCREASING
BUSINESS Is STEADILY GROWING
IN ENGLAND, SAYS MAN.
AGING DIRECTOR

DETROIT. MICH, April At
takes the combined output OF tho hve
next largest motor car manufacturers
in this country to equal Ford sales"
+. L. d. Perry. managing director OF
the Ford Motor company, Of Man
chester. England. writes in an fnter-
esting article on tho growth OF the
issue OF Ford Times. q monthly mag
azine published by the Ford Motor
company.
Mr. Perry tells of the organisation
Of the Manchester company In Octo-
Der, 1903. He talks of Tho prejudice
against American automobiles which
formerly existed. saying that tho
American built Ford was regarded at
first IN much the Same way n was
the American built bicycle. tmpracti-
cable for English users
He describes the many CONTESTS and
races in which the Ford proved Its
merits to the British public and
names as the turning point OF pub
lie opinion the year 1911 when Henry
Alexander. q dealer. drove Ford
to the top Of Ben Nevis-4.6o0 feet
the highest point In the British Isles.
''The ascent and tho hardly lees
difi1cult descent made q story which
was eagerly seized upon by all news
papers throughout the islands," says
Mr.. Perry. lat Fort William the
town made holiday. Highland pipers
made q triumphant reception for the
car in tho city streets People who
had looked at the car aslxance began
result was that in this year moro than
fourteen hundred cars were sold In
the British Isles"
Many persons do nat know that the
Ford was the original taxi In Eng
land. As In ST. Petersburg. Russia:
New York city, and other big cities
OF the world. the Ford was the first
public taxicab in London. Mr.. Perry
Gays:
1T was in 1905. The only means
Of cab conveyance was the horse
drawn hanson. The advent OF tho
automobile suggested the possibility
made with various forms of more or
less weird vehicles: but It was left
to the Ford to place on tho streets of
London That form OF conveyance
which has since come into general
use The chauffeurs Of these original
taxis had to be recruited from the
ranks OF cabmen bred for genera
tons upon the knowledge Of London.
and 1t Is worthy OF special note that
the simplicity Of the Ford control,
then as now. was euch that these
cabmen could and did pick UP the
art OF driving With almost no Diff
Guilty."
In closing, Mr. Perry sAys: with
the opening Of tho Manchester factory
which took place in 1911 Ne produced
and sold the firSt year more than
three Thousand carS, while last year
more than nix thousand cars came
through and were purchased in the
