To-day the employees of the Fire

joyed their annual picnic at Silver

Special cars were required to car

amusement. The activities of the
morning included baseball game and
soccer football game. The rim plant
and tire plant INDUCED in a lively Soc
ser game while the rim plant and
general office force fought out the
baseball game to the tune of $50.
At noon everybody sat down to
dinner, coralled by that time-honored
custom of the family basket" idea.
In the afternoon another ball game
was staged, followed by field sports
and water sports of every description.
Prize waltzes. bowling contests and a
tug of war were also on the list. This
evening there will be spectacular and
gorgeous display of fireworks, which
takes place on the island in the CEN

Pleasant features of the day had

free admission tickets to the park and
also tickets emitting them to free

The Frenchman doesn't build for
power. He builds for economy of gaso-
line consumption. Fuel is high in
France. At that time, it was fifty
cents gallon. This was the first
great lesson TO US. If we were to make
motor for a car that the man of
moderate means was to own and oper-
ate. we must get big mileage out of the
fuel-and to meet American require
ments, we must get the power, too.
After the completion of one motor
car I was notified of the time the in
spection would take place. The inspec-
tor came at the appointed time. He
was a most competent engineer, and
his inspection was thorough. He got
into the car and ran it himself, asking
innumerable questions as to its me-
chanism. He made particular note of
how the motor started, the speed of
its pickup, the ease and speed with
which it stopped, the method of trans
mission, the steering gear and other
technicalities. He took many meas
urements, weighed the car and made
a detailed examination of it. Then

moment, he dramatically raised his
hand and shouted "Arretez" ("Stop")
Then he jumped from the car and
again brought his trusty tape line into
action by measuring most carefully
the stopping distance. All. Magnifi-

Finally. the car was approved and
its real test began. The five cars were
put on the road TO be tried out. They
were driven all over France in all
kinds of weather, on highway and by
way under every conceivable condi-
ton. We covered a great deal of
ground and tested them out thorough
ly. Each of the FIVE cars was driven
thousands of miles before I could
bring myself to accept my own eff
forts of year and the efforts of those
who had assisted me in producing
them.
1T was after these road tests were
completed that I realized I had been

Having great regard for the me-

BENJAMIN Briscoe went there to design

|Briscoe says in part:
Paris is motorcar headquarters of

of these shops is small-three or four

lowing the French tradition, motor
designs are usually made in studios
and generally carried out in tiny shops

nearly all of the little automobile

There were two features of Western football this season of far more than passing interest.
 One was the brilliant playing of Chic Harley of Ohio State, who not only proved himself to be one of the games leading stars, but who also accom- mplished more for his team than any other individual of the year, with the possible exception of Pollard of Brown.
 It is only about once every decade that an entry accomplishes such phe- nomenal achievements in game after game. Those who star in one game are many. But to play with spec tacular effect straight through the schedule is another matter.
 Harley's work this season was second to that of no man in American football The long list of his long runs in one big game after another revives the memory of Heston.
 Another leading feature was the mighty power of the Minnesota team at the end of the campaign. After a poor display against Illinois, Mime sota finished with an eleven that many believe to be the strongest in the country, East or West Wisconsin and
  dard Western teams. Yet Minnesota beat these two elevens by the scores of 54 to and 4 to 0, margins too overwhel for anything but an un- usual eleven to roll up.
 Probably a three-cornered battle among Minnesota, Brown and Pitts burgh would be a dull affair." And then again, probably it wouldn't.
 An Even Melee.
 Brown beat Yale 21 to 6; Yale beat Colgate. Yet there are a surprisingly large number of football insiders who believe that Colgate will win from the Providence lineup on Thursday, and thereby end it's championship dream.
 We have run across as many favor ing Colgate as we have favorins Brown to finish on top.
 Captain Black of Yale played against both teams There is one thing," he says, which good many people overlook. We were in far bet. ter shape for Colgate than we were for Brown. So the Yale games against the two teams are hardly to be taken as complete tests. Brown had a fine eleven, but, in my opinion, Colgate l, had one of the best teams ever saw Back to Stay.

PRAISE FOR JONES.
Captain Black Says Tad Has All
 Essentials of Great Coach

FSSGnt1a1S OI JTcdC COaCn.
 New Haven, Nov. 29.-Clinton Black, captain of the Yale eleven. yesterday paid the following high tribute in '"The Yale Daily News" to Head Coach Tad Jones'
 "Tad Jones has everything to make him wonderful coach. He has a personality which cannot be beaten, and the more one comes in contact with him the more one grows closer to him. To me, the one great regret of losing the Brown game was the fact that it was the only game that Tad has lost in four years and I know how he felt.
 'I believe that Tad Jones knows more football than any other coach in the country, and one great advantage is that he is always ready to learn more. The great part of the season S success, in my mind, goes to Tad Jones. Yale is in his mind first and foremost, and he made the men under him realize this, and 1t went long way.'
