There were but three deaths from diphthefia or croup during the last month as against eight for March, 1914. and 34 deaths from pneumonia or lung fever while in March 1914, there were 48.

Guiding Detroiter
Eight is One of the
Most Simple Things

"A drive through crowded traffic in
the Detroiter Eight is generally the
browning feature of a demonstration. that
cllnches the sale, so far as the women
folk are concerned" is the statement Of
Claude S. Briggs. president OF the Briggs
Detroiter company OF Detroit
The remarkable Eligibility of the
Eight means very large increase in
the number of women drivers because
of the fact that the necessity for shift
ing gears is reduced to a minimum. and
the dryer very seldom finds it necessary
to take her hands from the wheel
Guiding an Eight in congested traf-
fic Is SO simple that even a timid be-
ginner could tackle it without fear. Let
us suppose that the new driver finds 1t
necessary to make q trip down town;
just as soon as she shifts the control
lever into high speed she can forget
about 1t until she wants to get out of the
car, She can throttle the motor until the
car is moving barely two miles an hour
on high gear-about half as slowly as
the average horse walks. When 1t be-
comes necessary to slow down almost to
stop, she disengages the clutch with 8
slight foot pressure and with the con-
tinuous forward movement of the car the
engine picks up with the high gear in
engagement, more readily than mos
cars on first or second.

De Jong Of Apperson
Automobile Company
Is Out for Good Roads

with. all this good roads movement
going on, it seemsrto me that We should
be able to accomplish much in short
time" says J. ". DeJong, president of
Apperson Jack Rabbit Auto company.
And it is we'll" he added, because good
roads are so essential, so absolutely
necessary TO the maximum development
of the automobile industry that II seems
strange SOME concerted effort has not
been made before this time.
Good roads, mean perfect stretches
of highways from city to city. all over
this country will invite thousands and
thousands of new buyers. It is Just the
thing that they have been waiting for-the
freedom of the roads-for those who de-
sire unlimited opportunities for motor
ing for an Indefinite period-anywhere at
any time.
Il appreciate that as a country, we are
young and growing, and II would not be
fair to compare ourselves with nations
of the old world. and so it would not be
just right to compare their splendid
roads to ours, but 1t does seem to me
that we should be able to profit by the
example they have set for us, and make
every effort to develop our road system,
as quickly as possible,
And we should not lose any more time.
The task is herculean in character. There
is much to be done, and IL the present
generation is to enjoy the improvements,
we should go to work at once"
