CALCULATIONS ON
GIGANTIC SCALE
Ford Production to Average
$4,000 Cars Per Month For
Year

The Ford Motor company announces
production and delivery schedules OF
$4,000 cars In October, November and
December. That Is an even $4,000
cars for each OF those three months.
That indicates the nice balance that
has been established between Ford
supply and Ford demand. Another ex.
traordinary achievement of the Ford
Motor company In planning its pro-
duction and sales far In advance Is
shown In this: A year ago last May
the sales department OF the Ford sub
mitted schedules calling for produc-
ton OF 100000 cars for the year. AT
the end OF four months the schedules
for manufacture and delivery we're
checked, II was found that there was
a difference between production and
delivery Of Just So Ford cars.
The officers Of the Ford Motor COM
pany fail to see any coincidence
whatever In It. They say that II is
merely the scientific solution Of a
mathematical problem; that It IL
merely adjusting Ford production
which had reached its normal for last
year to Ford demand which has be-
come as constant and invariabie as
the demand for any other staple or

REAL HONOR TO WIN
A TOUR LIKE THIS
Studebaker Gets Perfect Road
Score and Battles Investiga-
tors Search for Breaks

An automobile tour OF the old-fash-
Toned sort. tour In which stock cars
only we're allowed to compete; in
which observers rigidly scrutinized the
work OF the cars from start to finish !;
In which the close was followed by
the most rigid sort OF q technical ex-
amination-has just been given by
the Wisconsin State Automobile assoc
citation.
The event was. the first In several
seasons in which the strict Grade /
rules OF the American Automobile as
ISOLATION applied and created unusual
interest among motoring writer's and
others who have lamented the absence
OF intimate data regarding car per-
Torrance, derived from recent tours
In which promptness In arrival at con-
trolls was almost the only qualification
OF success, and In which non-stock
cars we're entered without restriction.
The tour consumed three days and
covered course of about 500 miles,
starting and finishing at Milwaukee.
The cup winner--a Studebaker -Four"
driven by E. s. Schank and entered by
the Wollaeger Sales Co.--finished with
a perfect road score, having made
every control on time, and brought In
a record Of absolutely no attention to
any mechanical part from start to fin
ish.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture was the technical examination
which followed the finish. Skilled
men gave a careful and intimate
combing to each OF the contesting
cars. They measured, shook joints
and tested every nut and bolt. They
made each car undergo a standard
test OF clutch and brakes. Whenever
the least symptom of looseness was
found, a point or more was deducted
from the cars score.
There were instances OF deficient
brakes, sagged springs, miscellaneous
small parts lost on the road and loose
nuts and bolts. One car was carrying
loose body. and another finished
with a cracked water jacket. All the
cars suffered from penalties. some Of
the instances totaling over 100 points.
II was In this test that the winning
Studebaker showed to such marked
advantage. After prying and pulling
at hundreds Of places. the officials
found an insignificant oil cup and top
bolts which could be turned with the
fingers. In every other detail the car
was absolutely beyond criticism.
During the final day OF the tour the
Studebaker averaged 25.5 miles to the
gallon OF gasoline--a considerably bet
ter average than the aggregate score
of the winner OF special prize offered
Tor economy. Throughout the tour,
however. the driver had devoted his
sole efforts to the winning Of the main
trophy.

WISCONSIN ROADS

Prisoners Placed on Honor in
Work on the State
Highways

Wisconsin can now be Numbered
among the states successfully employ
ing their convicts In road work.
Two years ago, e. Stagg Within, a
representative OF the national COM
mittee on prisons and prison labor,
made a careful study of the prison
system OF the state. at the request OF
Gov. McGovern and the state board Of
public affairs. In his report, DR.. Whit
In recommended that all prisoners who
can be placed on their honor should
be employed out of doors In quarry
ing stone, clearing stump lands, and
building roads.
In his message to the legislature,
which followed the receipt of DR..
Whitin's report. Gov. McGovern drew
attention to the successful road work
in Colorado, and suggested that the
legislature empower the board OF con-
troll and the highway commission to
try the experiment OF working linn
tied number OF convicts on the roads
In the northern part Of the state, re-
porting the results Of the experiment
TO the next session OF the Legislature.
The legislature OF 1913 followed the
suggestion OF the governor and auth
orized the board OF control and the
highway commission to employ such
convicts as they deemed suitable In
the road work.
The summer of 1914 saw two camps
established, one near Waupm and the
other at Taycheedah. At the Waupun
camp two and a half miles OF road is
now under construction, and when
completed will connect Waupun and
the village OF Chester The road Is
15 feet wide and Of the best possible
macadam construction. The men are
under the honor system, wear a neat
khaki uniform, and live and work ex-
actly like hired crew, the only guards
being two unarmed experts in road
building.
The success attendant upon this
work points to it's fullest development
and to the reconstruction of Wiscon.

equipped with modern safety devices
and accessories which tend to make
motoring safer. The car will visit
Detroit In the near future.
Mr.. Elliott, who conceived the idea

Washington, D. c., Nov. Although
IS congressional districts were still
unheard from at noon today, democrat
ic leader here were confident that the
administration would retain control Of
congress, although the majority in the
house might be cut from it's present
strength of 141 to as low as 25 or 80.
After conference of national demo-
cratic committee officials at the white
house with President Wilson and Sec
retary Tumulty, it was estimated the
democratic majority might possibly
stand at 80.
The varying reports Of the senate
contests in Nevada, California, Kan
sas and Colorado gave no promise Of
reducing the democratic majority Of
ten. Reports to the national demo-
cratic committee were said to indicate
election of James d. Phelan of Califor-
MIA to succeed Senator Perkins, re-
publican, and the reelection of Sen
ators Newlands and Thomas in Nevada
and Colorado. In Kansas close con-
test for the seat Of Senator Bristow
seemed to be between Representative
Mu1dock, progressive, and former SEN
ator Curtis, republican, leaving Repre-
sentative Neeley, the democratic can
didate, behind.

BALLOT TO WOMEN; FEW
OF THEM USE RIGHT.

Chicago Nov. 4-Woman suffrage
suffered a setback in the election yes
tercay, six states voting against grant.
ing the franchise to women and women
candidates undergoing defeat at the
polls. In Illinois where women gain
ed the right to vote for all statutory Of
fees only recently the number of votes
cast by that sex fell off greatly.
Ohio, Missouri, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska and Nevada voted
against granting votes to women, most
of them by large majorities. Lively
campaigns had been made in all of
these states by advocates of female
suffrage. Headquarters of the Women's s
Equal Suffrage league had flooded the
states in question with literature,
pleading the cause, and speakers had
stumped much of the territory in
volved.
In Kansas, woman ran for cor gress
in the sixth district, and a lively cam
paign was conducted in her behalf, but
the female progressive candidate, Mrs.
Eva Morely Murphy, was defeated,
running third. In Chicago Miss Har-
riet Vittum and Miss Mary Mcdowell,
heads of social settlements, ran for
county commissioners but made poor
showing. The number of women who
voted in Chicago was small compared
with the two former occasions on
which they were allowed to vote. The
number of women politicians and poll
workers was as large as heretofore,
however, and an exhaustive campaign
of :ncit ement and education in voting
was carried on for several weeks be-
fore the election.
