says John N. WHY'S. president of

1.-THE conversion of raw material
into finished cars and parts is
putting millions of dollars every

chinists, foundrymen, trimmers,

workmen. These men in turn are
handing over their money TO the
butcher, the baker, the grocer,
the merchant and the banker.
Figures as TO the number Of
men who gain livelihood
through this single industry are

Gus allied trades involved. But
there are garaRemen, statesmen,

Case Eagle Is
'OldAbe,' War Bird

HE eagle on the radiator of
every Case automobile is a
war bird. He is pictured from
odd Abe" the pet and mascot of
the Eighth Wisconsin Battery in
the civil war. And inasmuch as
the Case is a Wisconsin product,
the close association between the
two is appropriate.
odd Abe" was captured in the
wilds of the Flambeau River
country by Chief Sky, a Chip
pewa. He traded the bird to Dan
lei McCann for a bushel of yellow
corn. Mccain took the bird to
Eau Claire and disposed Of him to
Company c of the battery. The
eagle went through thirty-six bat
Ties and inspired the Badger bat
terry to great deeds.
The last public appearance of
"Old Abe" was at Milwaukee in
1880, when he and Gen. U. s.
Grant were honored guests at the
G. A. r. encampment. A year
later the eagle, which was housed
in the cellar of the old State Can
itol at Madison, was overcome bv
fire which started in some old
paint and oil. He died March PC.
1881. His memory is preserved
in the trademark on all Case
goods.

Women Learn Auto
Dnving VeyReadIy

DRIVING an automobile is
- easy compared with some of
the athletic feats now accom-
plished by women. However, a
general impression prevails that
they cannot learn to drive well.
The fact is that most women
learn more quickly than men.
Men as a rule are overcautious,
and, consequently, slow at learn
ing. Although to be cautious is
most advisable, nerve is required,
especially in city driving.
These are the findings of in
structors in the Stewart Auto
mobile School of Fifty-seventh
street and Broadway, which has a
large number of women students
in its courses for the fair sex.
