AUTOS NOW ARE
real NECESSITY
Industry Proves Real Value
by Weathering Two Gen.
uine Financial Storms.
AUTO BUSINESS TO STAY
Present Owners Are Only Small Por-
ton of What Future Will Mean.
Says WHY'S.
AUTO BUSINESS TO STAY

Ever since the automobile industry
became one of the leading factors in
the commercial world, predictions
have been made that a reaction would
take place. Those prognosticators, who
had ii all figured out that the turning
point would come in 1914 or 1915, were
as near to the truth as the positive
individual who said the war could not
last after June.
According to John y. Willys. presi-
dent of the Willys-Overland company,
the stability of the industry is great
er today than at any time since its
Inception.
Auto Business Will stay.
ANY suggestions that the growth of
the automobile business is only tenn
porary." says Mr.. Willys. lis not taken
seriously by sane-thInking people who
have watched its growth and develop
ment during the past fifteen years.
Twice during that time ii has passed
through pati"nal panics without even
faltering and is perhaps the only big
industry that has never received
serious setback.
The demand for cars is greater to-
day than ever before. This year the

we are shipping on an aver
age OF 500 cars day. the factory finds
it necessary to work overtime in or
der to keep pace with the orders that
are pouring in.
The big price reductions alone have
enabled thousands of people to invest
in motor ears who heretofore con-
sidered them beyond their means. The
ease with which the modern car is
operated probably accounts for the
great numbers that are now being
sold to women.
or Practical Necessity.
Instead of luxury only indulged
in by people of wealth the automo-
bile has developed into practical
necessity. This is particularly true in
the vast farming sections of the coun-
try. Statistics show that the farmers
are the largest purchasers or motor
cars, yet they are the last. people on
earth to spend money foolishly They
do not invest in a car merely for the
pleasure that it affords them. On the
contrary they consider the pleasure
part of it last The average farmer
looks upon the automobile as time
and money saver that will permit him
TO accomplish more work in less time
than a team of horses.

COLD DAYS NEEDN'T
BOTHER FORD CARS
Lubricating Oil Discovered Which
Makes These Autos Easy to Start
in Frigid Weather.

With cold weather at hand. motorists
who are accustomed to all-the-year-
around service face new conditions ot
operation and maintenance. None of the
problems that low temperature brings
has more bearing on good service than
fabrication. for a drop In the mercury
means an atmospheric condition that has
a tendency to CONCEAL the fabrication oil
unless it has been manufactured in Il
way to prevent this difficulty. Motor
lists observe this most commonly when
they find the motor hard to start on cold
days.
Recently, engineers of the Ford Motor
Company. working i'll conjunction with
the experts of the White Star Refining
Company. of Detroit. have made inter-
esting experiments to solve this problem
through a series of comprehensive cold
tests. The White star extra quality oil.
which these engineers have evolved and
which is used in the Ford factory and at
all Ford branches. Is the result of these
experiments
Thus. the Ford man using this oil in
zero weather has his fabrication prob
lem solved for him. the purpose being to
increase the value of service by passing
along to the owner the benefit of the lab
oratory work of the experts. In other
words the &iI is made so that it auto
matically takes care of the problem OF
low temperature and consequent tend
ency to CONCEAL the oil.

All mothers are ''home doc

the Group and cold troubles that
all children are heir to. They
know that growing children need
outdoor exercise, and that, with
outdoor exercise, some colds are
bound to come. They know too,
that internal medicines injure
delicate little stomachs, but that
these colds must have some kind
of treatment.
The answer to this problem is
the external treatment, Wick s

many forms of cold troubles,
from head colds, asthma and ca
tarrh, down to sore throat, bron-

BIG CAME


Just "a days from today and Thanksgiving will be
here. And with Thanksgiving will come the. annual
= tussle between Wesleyan and W. Y. for the foot.
ball supremacy Of the state; and the game this season
promises to be one Of the greatest IL not the greatest
in the history of the two institutions. Both teams are
exceptionally strong this season and will be on edge for
the crucial contest of the season. Both; teams are well
coached and can play good football. 1t goes without
saying that a record crowd will witness the contest.
Saturday Wesleyan took the measure of the Indians,
while West Virginia was idle, owing to the fact that the
Bethany team was unable to reach Morgantown in time
for the game, a freight wreck on the B. & o. holding
them up until it was impossible to reach Morgantown
In time to finish the battle before dark. There can be no
question as to what would have been tho result Of the
game had it been played. Morgantown would have
scored an easy victory.
The MISUNDERSTANDING game is to West Virginia
what the Yale-Harvard game is to the east;t what the
Army and Navy game is in diplomatic and governmental
Headquarters; what the Wash.Jef-Pitt game is to West
