The pot au feu well known IN
France and occasionally served here
IN restaurants is a most nutritious and
palatable dish. Its basis is a soup
stock in which beef and vegetables
have been boiled and 1t is served in
a brown earthenware pot. First the
soup is poured off and forms the first
course OF the meal, then the meat
and vegetables are drained of and
there is your second course, which,
with a cup Of coffee and bread forms
q substantial meal at a small cost.

and marked by the women motorists
of the nation.
This group Of women, inspired by
patriotic motives, is mindful OF the
fact that q large percentage of the in
sanity among American women is due
TO the long months OF isolation which
have always been the inevitable ac-
compartment of life on the farm
where for months every year all OPP
portunity for social, educational and
religious advantages are cut off by
the impossible roads; where the chill
dren are isolated from all educa-
tional opportunities for months out
of every year as if they were in Sibe-
ria.
These women wish TO set a worthy
example in the construction of these
typical sections of Lincoln highway
to be dedicated to the memory Of
Abraham Lincoln and the use of the
people of the country.
An ARRANGEMENT has been made
whereby Emory w Clark, president
of the First and Old Detroit National
bank of Detroit is to act as treasurer
of the fund which is to be held in
trust until the sum of s 600 is reach
ed, when the first mile will be con-
structed.
The tablets for the permanent
marking of these memorial sections
will he designed by the national COM
mission. made up of architects whose
regulations are international.
Every woman mOtOrist and every
woman who motors should partici-
pate i'm the building Of one of these
women's memorial sections of Lincoln

woman motorist in the country would
contribute but 81 TO the fund, per

social commodity Of great influence. l Hundreds of thousands of people who heretofore were confined to their own limited social area through lack of transportation methods are enabled to come into touch with others through the agency of the motor car.
 "Efficiency in these days Is a much abused word. but nevertheless 1t is one which means much to the human race. Education in Its various branches ss, perhaps, the best and most important demonstration of efficiency we have ever encountered. Communication comes next. From the earliest days men have striven to improve and to develop means of communication until today we can hear and recognize the human voice thousands of miles away and are able to communicate with the farthest cor ners of the earth In few minutes.
 Where education and communicate have blazed the way. transportation .s proving itself the final active means of human efficiency. The motor car is the latest and most practicable snethod of transportation. It will go any place, any time and under any conditions.

New York. February 6-The broad smile which beamed from the face of an American business man as he landed from the Lusitania-the man with a punch who had lifted the English rubber embargo which had threatened to send tire prices soaring.
 The business man was B. G. Work, president of the B. r. Goodrich Co. of Akron, O. He was sent by the Rubber Club of America to England where. after hobnobbing with Sir William TyrreI of the British foreign office and Sir Francis Hopwood of the admiralty, he accom- plished what American diplomacy had failed to do. and brought home the bacon rather the rubber-because the boat which brought him home carried sev- eral hundred tons of crude rubber for the relief of the American situation.

 More than half of the thousands of the Overland cars which arc being built

MIRACLE OF MOTOR CAR MANUFACTURE
A Single Process That Has Revolu- tionized the Making of Strong
 Light Cars

To a great extent the tremendous pro auction records attained hy the larger American motor car factories in the past few years have been accom- plished through the rapid strides made in the development of the art of drop forging.
 From the very beginning of the au- tomobi,e industry engineers have strength in the parts subjected to heavy strain, without adding useless weight to the completed car Drop forging and the use of high grade chrome vanadium steel proved the so- lution of the problem, and today the manufactures who builds the majority of the parts used in his car counts an efficient forge shop as one of his most valuable possessions.
 As pioneers in the manufacture of parts for automobiles, Dodge brothers, who have just placed their own car on the market, rapidly grasped the ad- vantages of drop forging, and ,heir forge plant in Detroit is pointed out as typifying all that is best In tho busi- ness. The huge steam hammers with their falling weights, as heavy as two to three tons. are almost constantly in operation, turning out parts for the new car.
 Here the visitor can sec tho stan dard steel stock, heated to white glow and then placed under the ham, mers, coming from them magically formed into front axle, connecting rod. crankshaft, camshaft, or any other of hundred and one parts. There is d special set of dies for each part the hammer head receiving one-half and the bed of the machine the other. The first set breaks down the stock into the general shapes required, while the second set shapes it accurately. Some- times both sets are In one hammer, if the part is small enough to admit two sets side by side. Otter break down and finishing hammers are separate.

GEORGIA HAS OVER 5000
 PRISONERS MAKING ROADS

All the able-bodied male convicts of Georgia are at work on the public roads According to the latest reports received by the national committee on prisons and prison labor over 5000 prisoners. including both short and long-term men, were worked by PA counties in 1914
 The counties make requisition to the prison commission for the number of convicts they need, the men being worked under the old guard system
 Experience has shown that Is men form the most economical unit for one guard to handle. The number of units in gang Is determined by such factors as expense per man, mileage of roads to be constructed and repaired, the character or the work to be done, the class of men in the gang. and the equipment pro-

will probably prevent any advance In prices of rubber products. Much higher prices would have been inevitable had England insisted upon her position in refusing 10 permit crude rubber from any of her possessions to be sent to the United States. As il was, the price of crude rubber per pound practically doubled in the two months the embargo was on. Now prices are slipping back to normal position, and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company sees no com plieations in the matter of obtainina crude rubber unless Great Britain re- eedes from her present position.

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company also has some 500 tons on board the Lusitania, due to arrive within d few days. which will be the second receipted shipment of crude rubber for America since England lifted the embargo.
