The Greek (1) class at Northwest

school. 1t is composed Of nine mem
bers. Greek Is very difficult study,
probably more difficult than any other
language, and 1t is remarkable that
this school, the youngest and small
est high school In Detroit, should have
the most students willing to study 1t.
This is merely one instance in which
we are showing our "mettle." Mr..
Corns is the instructor OF the class.

FORD SALES KEEPING
UP LIVELY AVERAGE

In August. September and October
of 1913, the Ford Motor company sold
29,821 cars. In the same months OF
1914 Ford sales were 59,507 cars This
Is an increase OF approximately 100
per cent. November Ford sales prom
ise to exceed even this proportionate
Increase. These figures are impress
sive enough. However. still more
significant and encouraging feature In
the fact that this increase OF Ford
sales in 1914 over 1913 is general, the
length and breadth Of the country.
Another very significant fact ID
this-that Ford sales have not shown
any sensational jump any one week or
month, but have steadily grown In vol
ume and permanence day after day
and week after week throughout the
whole period of five months. An evil
dence that more and more the motor
car IL becoming part in American
life generally--it has ceased to be the
pet OF the classes TO become the neces-
sity OF the masses.
California reports some very inter-
esting figures In automobile sales for
the five months ending October 81. In
that period 9,700 motor cars were sold
In California. or these 1896 were
Ford cars. In other words, twice as
many Ford cars--in this period-were
sold than all other motor cars COM
bined. And seven times as many Ford
cars we're sold as the next best SELL
ing car.
This certainly indicates that In Cal
ifornia, the word Ford has become
Synonymous with motoring.
