The attendance bit the special meet
ing of the board bf trade last night
was larger than Usual. The attend
ance, however, was not as-large as it
should be, as President Rogers and
others pointed out Col. Rogers ex-
pressed the hope that with the cooler
months now here More interest would
be taken in the woik of the organiza-
tion, and more SUPPORT given it. He
urged the members of the board to
drop into the officeiof the organiza-
ton from time to time to see the work
being done.
Mr.. HILBERT Weatfers thaught that
much more enthusiasm would be
aroused, and much more accomplish
ed, if meetings of the organization
were held more frequently.

"A Central Florida chamber of COM
merce was proposa at the meeting OF
the Marion countyfboa of trade last
night. Mr.. II. W.5Weathers, who re-
Gently attended the meeting of the re-
tail division of the South Florida
Chamber of Commerce in Tampa, be-
lieves that Ocala and Marion county
and the towns, cities and counties adj
jacent should havesan organization for
the purpose of pfomoting the inter
ests of this section of the state. Mr..

Central Florida are in many ways
different from other sections of the
state.
Mr.. Weathers' proposal was unani-
modsly approved, and L. R. Trammel1,
secretary of the board, will get in
touch with the various towns and
cities, asking for their cooperation.
Mr.. Weathers pointed out that Cen
tral Florida has a different form of
agriculture, and that even the climate
is different. He spoke very enthus-
iastically of the spirit of cooperation
animating the members of the South
Florida Chamber Of Commerce.

MAXWELL FACTORIES BREAK
RECORD FOR PRODUCTION
Turns Out 532 Cars for Shipment on
Banner Day-PrOductiOn 100 Per
Cent Greater than Last Year

Turns Out 532 Cars for Shipment on
Banner Day-Production 100 Per
Cent Greater than Last Year
The Maxwell Motor company, Inc,
broke all it's records for production,
when 532 cars were turned out of its
big Detroit plant on Saturday, Aug.
Goth. While this is the biggest day
the company ever experienced in the
volume of its output of automobiles,
it exceeded the day previous by only
a slight margin. On Friday, August
25th, sol automobiles were turned out
of the Detroit factory.
This is only an indication Of the
great volume of business that Is be-
ing done by the Maxwell company.
There has been ansincrease of 100 per
cent in the daily output of the COM
pany. The average production at the
Oakland avenue plant in Detroit is
now 400 cars day and has been fo-,
the last month. Asyear ago the aver
age was only 200 cars day.
A great increase.in the demand for
Maxwell cars followed the generous
reduction in prices on the touring car
and roadster thata became effective
July 1st last and that the factories
are able to meet The demand is due
to- the fact that Increased manufac-
turing facilities have recently been
installed.
All Maxwell cars are assembled in
the plant at Detroit, while most of the
parts are manufactured in the COM
pany's factories att Dayton, Ohio, and
Newcastle, Indiana. The factories at
Dayton and Newcastle are now sup
plying the Detroit plant with 400
complete units every day.
The recent addition of a new pro-
gressive assembly track and new
body assembly track has enabled the
Detroit factory to turn out cars at an
increased speed. There are now two
progressive assembly tracks and two
body tracks, where before there was
only one of each.
About 10000 cars viii be turned
out of the Maxwell factories this year.
Approximately 10000 cars were man.
ufactured last year and the increased
production is ample evidence of the
growing popularity of the Maxwell
product.
| Most of the cars turned out in the
two banner production days were
touring cars and roadsters, although
number of the enclosed types put
cut by the Maxwell was included in
the allotment.

shipbuilding plants, arms and muni-
tion factories, powder magazines, etc.,
are located along Or near the Atlantic
coast. A system Of adequate internal
waterways connecting all these ac-
tivities would be of value beyond. es-
innate.
"As concrete example of what it
would mean to the safety of the ma
ton, | will indicate briefly the value
of a sufficiently deep and wide canal
between the Delaware and Chesa-
peake bays. Should our navy, in time
OF war, meet superior hostile feet
along our middle or southern Atlantic
coast, Chesapeake Bay would natural
ly be the refuge of any injured ships.
At such a time the combined use of
the docks at Norfolk and Philadel-
phia might be vital. An adequate
canal between the two bays would ac-
complish this big step toward pre-
paredness.
"The same applies with equal force
to canal between deep water in the
Delaware river and New York harbor
and Long Island Sound. This would
add tive more exits to guard by a
blockader, thus causing still further
division of his force, and divisions of
force, as you will readily understand,
are contrary toza principle of combat
en- which success very largely depends
"a system of canals connecting the
various ports along our Atlantic
coast would facilitate and safeguard
the passage of submarines, destroy
ers, torpedo boats, fast motorboats,
etc., up and down our coast, wherever
and whenever they might be needed.
Information from abroad clearly
shows the immense economic and mil
itary Importance of the canal sys-
TENS, particularly of Germany, in
time of war. Quick transportation of
war materials and men, and the en-
ormous and undreamed of demand for
supplies have been two outstanding
features of the present war.
'The military needs alone have al
most exhausted every transportation
resource abroad, and, in addition,
there is the civilian population which
must be fed, clothed and provided for
in many ways, and in this transpor-
lotion forms an essential part"
