GAR" REPLACES
AUTO" FOR ADS
Manufacturers Get Down to
American System of
Short Names.

$50 new is this business that we have
lost sight Of the trouble at first in
getting a name for the automobile.
Many were suggested. IN fact, several
years ago a certain New York news
paper ran a contest asking for sugges-
tions,' This Is an expression from
George N. Dickson. general manager Of
the indianapolis company building Ma
tional cars. He continued
These names ranging all the way
from 'petrocar' to 'electrobat' Some
OF the first automobiles were called
'horseless carriages and motorcycles
Then the word automobile sprang into
favor. Before long three different ways
OF pronOunciug this simple word were
in vogue, by placing the emphasis upon
three different syllables. Following
this came the term motor car This
term is still more popular than the
word automobile Many refer to their
craft as motor machine and even
the more dyed I'm the gasoline motor
lists. affectionately refer to their au-
tOmobiles as the 'buss' or the boat"
Dickson, who has been in the auto
mobile business over Is years, and
whose success is reflected in the NAM
moth increases in the National sales
factories, says he recently scanned a
copy Of r national publication that
contained q prepOnderance Of automo-
bile manufacturers advertisements and
that practically all of them did not use
the word automobile once, but referred
TO their product as car" He says
the American way OF adopting the
shortest and most expressive words for
everything will result in the practical
elimination Of the word automobiles
Il will be substituted by motor and
more particularly by "csr" and everv
one will know that it means autor1o-
bile.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 19.-The
growth Of the automobile industry in
the United States in the five years
from 1909 to 1914 presents one Of the
( most amazing chapters in the history
of American industrial development
/ This was proved today when the de-
partment Of comWerce, made public der
tailed figures on the subject
In the five year period from 1909
to 1914 there has been an increase of
350.3 percent in the number of ma
chimes manufactured and of 1917 per-
cent in their total value. The fact that
the increase in value of the output
during the five years was relatively
much smaller than the increase in the
number of machines manufactured is
accounted for not only by a general re-
auction in prices, but also by the pro-
duction Of 4 larger proportion of ma
chimes of low priced makes
One Auto For Every 200 Persons.
The census for 1914 shows that there
were in the United States 33S establish
ments engaged in the manufacture OF
automobiles either as a primary or
subsidiary product Their output for
that year was 57311l machines. the
total value of which was S465, 042474.
In other words. during 1914, one ma
cnine was produced for every 200 per
sons in the United States. on the
average every man. woman and child
IN the United States paid 1855 toward
an automobile. Of the total 90 percent
were for family or pleasure use
OF the total number Of machines
manufactured in 1914, those operated
by gasoline or steam numbered 56S.399. |

TWO WATER FIELD DAY EVENTS IDEAS
OF GENERAL PARkER'S EARLY DAYS

That necessity D. the mother at nven-
ton and that valuable ideas often are
evolved purely by accident. were never
more clearly indicated than IN the origin
Of the boat race and the escort wagon
crossing race, both of which were events
in the Water Field Day contests at
Fort Brown saturday. Both are ideas
originated by General James Parker now
commanding the Brownsville district, m
hi early days.
Tell Of their origin. Lieutenant Paul G..
Raborg. aide to General Parker said today
"Thc construction Of the basket boat
race was originated by General Parser
during the Ute campaign IN 1881. His
command was camped on one side of Tn
coutahrre river in Colorado and the main
camp was on the opposite side. Captain
Parker found himself confronted with
the problem of crossing in order TO avoid
4 ten mile circuitous trip.
''He built bridge across the river. but
this was promptly washed away BY deb.
ris coming dcwn the stream under the in
fluence of considerable rise so without
material he set about to make a boat bv
cutting Young Sapling~, stalking out the
gunwale on the ground. and laShing in the
ribs in the keel He then weaved brush
into this. and covered the whole piece Of
construction with canvas. His little CON-
