The United States Army Quartermasters
Are the Most Exacting Buyers
of Motor Cars

There are no more expert purchasing
agents in the country than our Army
quartermaster. 1t is their business to
buy right and to test thoroughly before
placing their order and the Paige Com
pany can consider it quite a feather
in their cap that one of their cars has
just been bought by Major Timber
lake, quartermaster of the United States
Military Academy at West Point.
When a motor car is wanted the
one car that comes nearest to filing
the specifications is sought. 1t must
pass minute examination and every
mechanical part must be the best of
its kind. 1t is then put through its
PAGES and if the performance proves
satisfactory it is bought regardless
of price.
Sales Manager Krohn, of the Paige
Company, in speaking of the matter,
said: 81 am more pleased with this
order from Major Timberlake than or
ders from a dozen opera stars, Gov
ernors, or other prominent personages.
In order to make this sale, we had to
show that our ear was right all the way
through-it was not the color of the
paint or the lines of the body or the
popular price that Major Timberlake
wanted-it was service. ."-Adv.*

new ENGLAND ROADWAYS
prove best IN country
william d. sohier, Chairman Of Mas
sachusetts Highway Commission,
Arranges Color Scheme for Main
Routes In the Northeastern States

Interstate road travel has reached
its highest development in the New
England States because of their early
recognition of the fact that highways
progress means many visitors and con-
sequent investment and an increase of
temporary and permanent residents.
Chairman William D. Sohier, of the
Massachusetts, Highway Commission. has
come forward with color scheme for
marking the main routes, not only of
the Old Bay State, but of all the New
England commonwealths. In COM
munication to the American Automo-
bile Association Touring Board of Mas
sachusetts road head sets forth sum-
mary of his marking proposition.
Chairman S. Percy Hooker, of the
New Hampshire Commission, has al.
ready put into effect :. color scheme
of his own, which he would have to
revise somewhat in order to meet with
the Sohier idea of one color for routes
north and south, another color for roads
east and west, and third color for sec
ondary and diagonal routes.
Former Highway Commissioners
Charles w. Gates, of Vermont. and
now the Governor of the Green Noun
tain state, eonfronts the same difficulty
as Mr.. Hooker in New Hampshire, be-
cause the Vermont color scheme, while
designating through routes, also de-
notes the kind of road, and what civil
subdivision is responsible for its up
keep. One color indicates State high
ways, and another color specifies what
are known as State Aid roads; and
hence all know that blue marked road
! indicates State responsibility, and a
red road makes clear that the local
authorities are in charge.
Chairman Bennett, of the Connect.
cut Highway Commission, has agreed
that the Nutmeg State will participate
in any comprehensive plan, and Chair.
man Lyman H. Nelson, of the Maine
Highway Commission, asserts the Pine
Tree State win accept any color scheme
agreed upon by the others. The High.
way department in little Rhode Island
also announces it's vote in favor of the
general plan.
conference of the New England
Highway Commissioners will take
place in the near future and Chairman
Sohier believes plan can be drawn
up which will make clear to the road
traveller the interstate complexion of
the New England avenues of communi.

Electrically Driven Endless Chain"
Speeds Up Production in the Com

An electrically driven endless chain
which will carry Saxon cars through
the various assembling departments
with greater speed is the latest inno-
walton at the plant of the Saxon Motor
Company in Detroit. The Saxon Com
pany has begun the installation of this
apparatus. With its completion this
company will have the most up-to-date
and efficient assembling plant in De-
troit.
Plans for this "endless chain" sys-
tenn have been approved, and it is ex-
pected that the system will be COM
pleted within two weeks. This chain
will carry the machine through the diff
ferent stages of assembling from the
time that Saxon is nothing more than
a frame, axle and set of wheels until
it is ready to be driven to the loading

DODGE BROTHERS APPOINT
new PHILADELPHIA AGENT
Hanson Robinson, Q Well-Known Auto
mobile Man, Takes the Place Made
Vacant by the Death of F. L.
Jones

Dodge Brothers announce the appoint
ment of Hanson Robinson as Phila-
delphia district representative, to fill
the position made vacant recently
through the death of F. l.. Jones. Mr..
Robinson is one of the well-known men
in the automobile industry.
Purchases amounting to millions of
dollars, by agents of the British and
French governments in Canada, have
resulted in greatly relieving the fnan
cial situation in the Dominion, accord
ing to E. P. Clarkson, Canadian dis.
trict representative for Dodge Brothers.
Mr.. Clarkson is visiting the factory in
Detroit after a tour through part of his
territory.
Canadian business men have more
available ready cash right now than
they have had for five years past" says
Claskson. This is all due to the i'm
mense influx of foreign cash for pur-
chasing war materials, including every
thing from food and clothing for the
armies to the supplies of ammunition
to keep the big guns at work.
"The automobile business has been
one of the first to benefit by the changed
conditions. Not only has there been a
big increase in sales of cars to farmers,
due to the high prices and big profits
on grain, hut healthy impetus has
been given the trade all along the line.
Zone of our big implement makers
recently received an order for 1,000,-
600 shOvels from an agent of a Euro
pean power and every factory is work
ing overtime on orders of similar mag
nitude. Much of the ammunition, pur-
chased from the big American makers,
is sold to the British government
through Canadian brokers, and here
again, vast sum of cash is involved.
Although the Canadian buyer has
been one of the best customers of the
American automobile manufacturer, the
trade between the two countries should
be greatly increased during the coming
year, due to the inability of British
makers to furnish cars. l look for a
record year in the sale of motor cars
throughout the entire country"
The Keystone Motor Car Company,
local distributors, have been greatly
pleased with the interest shown in the
new ear built by Dodge Brothers.

Credit

Credit is an estimate of your ca.
pacity to worry about paying your bills
which is held about you by lot of
tctak strangers. Credit is also a belief
held of your ability to pay for some
thing long after you have ceased to
derive any benefit from it. Credit is
likewise a gauge of your willingness to
deceive yourself into the belief that
You can afford to buy something be-
cause you cannot pay cash for it. If
everybody paid cash there would be no

DEATH RATE AMONG BABIES.
Annual Report of Federal Children's
Bureau Issued


Washington, Dec. 27.-The death
rate in the United States among ba-
bies of mothers who work outside
their homes far exceeds the infant
mortality where the mother is not so
employed.
The annual report today of the Fed
eral children's bureau shows an aver
age infant death rate of 1874 out of
every 1000 babies in steel-making
and coal-mining town, as against a
rate of 81 out of every 1000 in a resi-
Dental suburb. An even greater con-
trast is found between the most con-
gested sections and the choicest resi-
Dental section in each of these two
communities.
The report adds that it is impossible
to determine the relative Importance
of the high death rate among babies
of working mothers until it is ascer-
tanned how many mothers work in in
dustry.
The need of developing standards of
rural child welfare, physical standards
for children in industry and standards
of law for the protection of all chill
dren are emphasized.

ularity.
People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive bow
els, and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to ag-
gravate than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted task and can usually be de-
pended upon. To keep the bowels in
condition there is no more effective
remedy than the combinations of sim
pie laxative herbs known as Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, which is sold in
drug stores for fifty cents bottle.
DIR. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of a century and it is today
the standard household remedy in
thousands of homes. Mr.. Thos. De-
Loach, with the Department of the
