vast fortune is spent every year simply to
tell about the cara We build. Some might say
that Detroit has progressed so far that large
part OF this money might be saved returned
to the consumer in the form OF greater value
in the cars or at reduced prices. It is a fact
however, that this expenditure alone is respon-
stble for the wonderful automobile values now
enjoyed by the world a whole. Detroit has
been leader IN perfecting automobile cor
struction. in quantity production. and in price
reduction. These wonderful results could not
have been accomplished without the worldwide
market for Detroit cars, which has enabled us
to build up great factories with tremendous
production and consequently with tremendous
savings IN material costs and in manufacturing

year The European factory which attained q
production OF 1000 cars a year acknowl-

the European industry. As a result. European
manufacturers had to get high prices. They
could not afford to build great factories. en-
ploy hundreds and thousands of men, buy ex-
pensive machines. and then sell their product
at a price based on five or ten thousand cars a

How Advertising Builds a City
What Publicity Did for Detroit

II HERE are two distinct IDEAS in regard to
i Detroit. Each entirely different, and each
more or less correct. There are those who
believe Detroit to be made up Of a lot OF SUBJ

wealth. and who are not fully awake to the
great go-ahead ideas OF our country. Time

POOR sPELLERs.

a report just issued by Dean Briggs
OF Harvard university calls attention
70 the incorrect spelling which is so
common at the. present time. Dean
Briggs notes that many great men
have been very poor spoilers. and he
finds that nowhere Is American edu-
cation more defective than in it's fail
ure 10 teach the correct use Of the
English language.
There are OF course a great many
successful men who are very poor
spoilers. If man has executive
ability. the gift OF managing others,
the fact that he spells speech" with
an "a" does not hurt much in his
business. Everyone knows what he
means. His underlings dare not dis
obey his orders, though they may
smoker at his written memoranda
when safely out OF hearing.
In social life even the successful
man will suffer from poor spelling
IL will suggest that he belongs to the
new rich class. and that he has had
neither time nor inclination for self
culture. and is only a mongrel in
everything but the single power of
making money.
To the young man struggling for
a position in life, lack OF ability to
spell is somewhat more serious. A
letter applying for a position that
should contain several unspelled
words would be reckoned that Of an
ignoramus 1t would convey a sug-
gestion of Incidence and ineficiency
The older people look back with
regret 10 the Little Red School
house" where rows of buzzing young
sters used to pore over the Blue
Backed Speller" by the hour together,
Perhaps there were as many poor
spoilers then as now. In those days
a great many men had little or no
education. Bad spelling may have
attracted less attention than now.
The old fashioned school had one
astute method Of developing the spell
ing habit, and that was the old time
spelling match. Competition does
wake up the boys and girls wonder
fully. They might dream for days
over the regular spelling lesson with
out acquiring anything. But there was
no perfunctory study when they
were examining for the Friday after

THE WATER RATES.

The shipper, and the consignee, Of
freight, who is not one of the fortu-
mates residing at a Pacific coast ter
minal, but is taking his chances in
the "hinterlands'' is watching with
glee the attempted revision Of tariff
schedules by the trans-continental
railroads to meet canal competition.
The railroads propose making rates
that will divert freight to points east
Of Pacific coast terminals. for distri-
button to interior points.
Whereupon the terminals. San
Francisco. Portland, Seattle. etc, are
bowling m.giitily at being deprived Of
the benefits OF water competition.
The sympathy Of the masses will
undoubtedly be with the interior mer-
chants. The Panama canal was not
constructed for the sole benefit of
the Pacific coast terminals and if it
serves to remedy the rank Injustice
has prevailed since time immemorial,
every body, save the terminal ship
rers, will rejoice. Why a merchant
at Reno. New. should pay a higher
freight rate on a shipment from New
York, than a San Francisco merchant
on the same shipment, which passes
through Reno and travels many hun
dred miles beyond, is something Of
n puzzle to the layman.
OF course water rates" is the
answer. and now that Uncle Sam has
spent a bunch Of money for an arti-
fetal waterway let everybody enjoy
some of the benefits.
