All during that day and the night
that followed it, the search for Ra-
mon Hamilton continued, but with
out result. With the announcement
of his disappearance, in the press,
the police had started spectacular
investigation, but had been as unsuc-
cessful as Henry Blaine's own opera
tives, who had been working unos-
tentatiously, but tireless since the
news of the young lawyers eyanes
cence had come.
No one could be found who had
seen him. When he left the offices
of the great detective on the previous
morning he seemed to have vanished
into thin air. 1t was to Blaine the
most battling incident of all that had
occurred since this complex case had
come into his hands.
He kept his word and called to see
Anita in the late afternoon. He
found that she had slept for some
hours and was calmer and more hope
full, which was fortunate, for he had
scant comfort to offer her beyond his
vague but forceful reinsurance that
all would be well.
Early on the following morning
Suraci returned from Long Bay and
presented himself at the office of his
chief to report.
Here are the tracings from the
register of The Breakers which you
desired, SIR" he began, spreading
some large thin sheets of paper upon

Scarcely an hour later, when Henry
Blaine placed the receiver at his ear
in response to the insistent summons
OF the phone, her voice came to him
again over the wire.

AGAINST HENRY FORD; OBJ
JECT TO INVESTMENTS.
Dodges have 10 Per Cent Interest in
Ford Company; Ford Owns So Per
Cent of Stock; "a Millions in Divi-
dends in 1914-15.

a temporary injunction has Deer ls-
sued against Henry Ford to restrain
the Ford Motor company from dis
bursting and investing surplus profits
that otherwise would be available for
dividends. The plaintiffs, John F..
Dodge and Horace f. Dodge, Ford
stockholders and also owners of the
Dodge Bros. Motor company, wan the
accommodating of millions Of dollars
distributed among stockholders in spe-
cial dividends. According to the
Dodge complaint, the cause of the writ
of Injunction was the declaration by
Mr.. Ford at the end Of the last fiscal
year that no special dividends would
be declared by the company and that
the surplus earnings would be used to
ctxend the business Of the company.
One Years Distribution.
From January l., 1914 to October,
1915, special dividends aggregating
$$34, OO0, 900 were distributed among
stockholders in addition to the regu-
lar monthly dividend Of five per cent.
Though the earnings Of the company
for the year ending July 81, 1916.
were sec, 900 600, the declaration was
made that no dividends would be made
then or in the future.
' The announced intention of Mr.
Ford to engage in a multiplicity Of nm
dertakings was declared to endangel
the interests of stockholders. "In the
face of the increased cost of labor and
material and the uncertain conditions
that will prevail in the business world
) at the termination of the war; the
bill reads, "the policy is reckless IL
{ the eXtreme.'

Ford Denies Recklessness.

IF YOUR CAR IS SMALL
DO NOT GO TOO FAST

From the results of experiments
conducted by the psychological de-
partment Of an Iowa university it APP
pears that the average person is prone
to overestimate the speed of a small,
noisy motor a and underestimate
that of a large, smooth-running one.
About 100 students were recently
assembled at a point past which ma
chimes of different sizes and condi-
tons ere driven at known speeds.
AS a vehicle passed, each person re-
corded on paper his personal estimate
OF its mileage per hour.
Twenty-three trips were made with
the cars, and from a study Of the
subsequent tabulations it was found
that when a driver continually sound.
ed a horn in passing, the students
considered the speed to be about five
miles an hour greater than it really
was.
The discrepancy was double this
when the rate Of a rafting machine
was considered. OF two cars travelling
at equal pace, the smaller was in
variably estimated to travel faster
than the other.
1t is rather interesting, too, tina
young men and women who had never
driven a car made on the whole a:
nearly accurate estimates as did thos'
of greater experience.
Close guesses of actual speeds wer'
made when cars jaunted along at II
or II miles an hour, but when racet
at so or 80 miles the guesses we're x
tremely wild.

AUTOMOBILE AND ROAD NEWS
WILL ALCOHOL BECOME
GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE?

Increased industrial value Of
alcohol and the possibility of it's
substitution for gasoline in the
near future, were discussed in
New York recently by chemists
attending the national exposition
Of chemical industries.
Dr.. Little declared that alcohol
is the best fuel for internal COM
bustion engines, as benzol, which
has been suggested as a substitute
for gasoline, is not sufficiently
plentiful to keep the 100000
automobiles in this country going
for two days. Kerosene, he added,
was out of the question.
DR.. Little quoted figures to
show that from 1912 to 1915 the
production Of completely denat-
ured and specially denatured alco-
hol rose from 100000 gallons to
14,000,000 gallons i'll 2 year. He
asserts government restriction
was one reason why there had not
been a greater production.
He read a letter from Arthur
II. Comey, chemist at the Du Pont
Powder company's. laboratory, in
which the chemist wrote:
Making alcohol from sawdust
is a great commercial success and
will grow accordingly"
DR.. Little said that in the yell
low pine district alone there is
enough material wasted to make
$1,000 gallons of alcohol a day.
There are 10000 700 tons Of ma
terial every year in this country
from which alcohol can be made

OVERLAND ALLOTTED
CHOICE SPACE AT SHOW

In the face of keen competition, the
Wyllis-O Overland company Of Toledo,
Ohio, has for the fourth consecutive
year been awarded the position of
honor at the New York and Chicago
automobile shows, III January, by the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce.
The space allotments at these shows
are based entirely ON the volume of
business handled by the exhibitors,
which include all but one Of the prom
inent companies in the United States,
and it is because the Overland COM
pany has sold moro ears than it's COM
petitors that it is given the choice DO

Regrets of the Cowboy.

The j%ocular cowboy lived to regret
that he did not know Of the possibili-
ties Of the soil. Land, hardly worth
the acceptance as a gift in the old
days, jumped up to a value of $25 ner
acre, and is still advancing. AS the
farms multiplied around the whistling

"Business is Good. This is Reed

This is the slogan Of Reed Point, a
little while ago a wind swept piece
Of prairie land down in Saltwater

believe in letting the world know it.
Every man has this slogan printed on
his business card:
Cuisines is good. This is Reed

In a single year receipts of the
Northern Pacific at Reed Point have
trebled. Much Of this increase is
due to increased grain shipments. The
average farmer of the Reed Point
country who was broke two years ago
now has a healthy bank account.

nearer the truth.
Six years ago Reed Point was just

of a siding. One could buy all the
land in sight for 81 80 per acre, with a
jitney down and the balance some

1t was considered only indifferent
