 OF LOCAL SHOE STORE

James F. Nelson, who mas been .o,,Snected with the retail shoe busi- ness in Bridgeport for the last zz 1oeaars has associated himself With E11er-v woman,s Shoe Store at 1906 Main street in the capacity or assls- tant manager. During his experl- ence in the shoe business in this city, MT Nelson was for l5 years iil1nasel e1 of the local branch of one of the largest chain shoe stores in the city, and for seven years he was 1dent1> fed with the HoIbrook & McaNn1ara firm His long experience in selling and handling womenss shoes quallIleS him peculiarly to cater to the re- ouirements of the large and 1ncreas- ing trade which Every Woman snoe ShoD has already developed in the two weeks since it's opening due to the quick appreciation. of the buying public of the values that are offered atF t17fs store His personal atten- tion to the requirements of prosper tive patrons is sure to be no small factor in the satisfaction of buying shoes at this store where he will be pleased to see all of his old acquaint- ances and to make as many new ones as possible.
 John T. Mccormick in securing MT. Ne1son's services evidences another noteworthy effort to please the wom- en of Bridgeport. The service offered the trade now will be all that could possibly be desired. MT. Mccormick stated, and the same wonderful values and exceptional prices which have characterized this new store will con tinue to be featured. We were very well pleased with the response of the women of Bridgeport to our opening announcement" MT. Mccormick said this morning, and I don't believe that there was one who visited our store on that day who was disap- pointed. We shall continue to en-
 deavor- to merit a continuation of this
 patronage, knowing that it must be
 based on confidence in our methods and absolute satisfaction in ou1 goods

Inc1,eased Facilities

More vehicles were shipped during the month of April by the Packard Motor Car company than in any other month of the concern's fourteen years existence. The shipments represent ed a total value of $2, ,42S, 900. A
 Simultaneously with this announce n1ent comes one to the effect that new buildings and extensions which are now under construction will add Is per cent to the present Ss acres of floor space. The enfargem ents ex- tend from the forge and foundry all through the manufacturing division to the final assembly, departments. A six story building is included among the additions.
 The building activities prscede a re- ported big increase in Packard pro auction for 1916. This no doubt getting ready for a. largely Increased volume of business.
 Again the Jftney.
 The speedy capture of eastern cities by. the 'sJitney'' bus is prophesied by HI L.. Pu1cher of the Federal Motor Truck Go. MT. Pulcher recently re- turned from business trip through the east and says the contagion is spreading rapidly in many cities.
 t'As one indication of it." said MT. PuIcher, I've have only to cite an, orr der for 13-3 1-2 ton Federals for All bany concerns. Several of these chasses will have large double decked others will be fitted out with regular pay-as-you-enter bus bodies capable of carrying over 50 passengers.
 Albany has been successful with her motor bus lines because very much the same plans are followed as are used in, London England, where motor buses are more numerous than in any other city in the world. They operate on schedule time over we'll laid out routes and their service is as regular as the trol1eys.
 Good Roads.
 Chicago is considering city-owned motor bus lines and gas laid out about IS rountes which will leventua1- ly be Handled by these buses I be- lieve municipal bus lines will be ad- vocated strongly within the next year and there is no doubt in my mind but that they will be successful
 Light Weight Motor Car Is Aid to
 To build and maintain good roads would be comparatively easy and in expensible were we assured that the bulk of their use would be by light weight automobiles. It is from very heavy cars and from trucks that roads receive their hardest use. BouIevards and parks, where travel is restricted to light travel require an astonishing 1y small expense for upkeep. Moderate weight on fairly large section tires should be encouraged by all munici- pa1ities interested in building and maintaining good roads. To be sure this can hardly be attained by legis- | lative action, but much may be done by educational campaigns tending to- ward the fostering of this idea in the public mind. The oiled roads of Cal ifOrnia are famous. Yet many o1 l them cost but a nominal sum to build and maintain. Florida seems recent Iy to have hit upon method o1 building g combination oil and sand road that promises to revoIuti ontze

road building in that delightful state. look to see great improvement in the construction of cheap and excel lent roads in the near future. Could we but be assured that only light weight motor cars would be used on them, the problem really is simple Even a good dirt road however, is a big improvement over the highways that usually are found in the major part of the United States, and a good dirt road, excepting in the very worst season of the year, can be had with the expenditure of practically nothing but a little labor. The King split-Iog drag can be made by anyone with the expenditure of almost no money and very little time, and it's regular use by those doing road work, in any community, will vastly improve even the poorest of dirt roads. It is per haps' too much to expect that con- crete or brick roads could be laid through all the rural districts, but it is not too much to expect that the cheap improvement of roads that al- ready exist is something which should be taken up by every municipality. What is needed is not so much money as it is energy and willingness to i'm prove the roads. The fact that very many farmers are buying automobiles is a big assistance, because DO sooner does a farmer become possessed of motor car than he realizes as he never did before the advantage of the good road.
 4-CyIinder Engine Still Popular Type.
 eff the one-cylinder engine could be made to meet modern require ments. one-cylinder engines would pred dominate,'' says Arthur Holmes, t tfbecause the .one-cy1inder engine is simple and economical. Every cy1fn- der added to an engine increases com plication. cost of operation and up- keep The chief drawback to a sin gle-cylinder engine is the weight of the f1ywheeI. In order to overcome vfbrs ton, the f1ywheel must be ex- treHnely heavy and extreme weight is a burden. The four-cylinder engine, with a flywheel of moderate. Weight runs smoothly and is the predomi- hating type of automobile engine Last year about 500, ,O00 four-cylinder cars were sold. The six-eylinder en- zine goes the limit for snnoothness due to the overlapping of the power impulses. It is used mostly in the higher-priced cars. About 08 1000 six cylinder cars were sold last year.
