AND
COST INCREASE
Despite Advance in Prices
of Materials, the Output
Shows Big Increase.

Although prices OF materials continue
to advance and factory officials see no
hope Of relief in the near future, pro-
duction Of cars continues to make rec
ord breaking strides in Detroit and in
the centsrs. With the freight car stu
alton also adding to the troubles of the
factories, IL is surprising that shipments
continue to Increase as the days go by.
Many prominent manufacturers have
increased the prices on their cars to
take care Of the added cost OF materials.
but all reports seem to indicate that
even the increased amounts. which the
customers have to pay for their cars
are not in any way affecting the enor-
nous demand which continues to be
much greater than the most optimistic
would have cared to predict some
months ago.
Information received by automobile"
from the Ford company indicates that
there is no longer any doubt Of 100000
Fords being built for the present fiscal
year. Plans have already been laid for
1000, 900 Fords for 1917.
50 far as the 1916 outputs are con-
cerned, il may be said that not one Of
the factories now has any doubt Of its
ability to market IS many. or even more
cars than were called for in the original
monthly production schedules.
As an instance Of present manufac-
turing condition, Studebaker reports
that the daily production will soon be
raised from 800 to 400 cars. REQ is turn
ing out about 1875 cars per day; Chevro-
let is increasing its production as pre-
dicted some months ago, so as to be
producing over 300 cars per day next
month. with the ultimate idea Of turn
ing out 400 per day in August. Cadillac
will ship more Fights this year than
ever before. and Dodge's production is
now running about 800 per day. Max
well will soon have its second assembly
conveyor system I'm operation, which
will allow OF a possible production Of
about 500 cars per day. At its pres
ent pace Saxon will easily turn out the
go 600 cars which are planned for the
present year Similar stories emanate
from practically every factory in the
big production area.

her is the effect which the motor car
has upon the whole family, especially
the children.
The big problem Of parents today is
to make the home interesting enough
to keep the children there. Parents
are in direct competition with all the
allurements which are provided on
every hand to attract the attention Of
the young folks. But the automobile
has come into the family as a trump
card in the hands of the parents. 1t is
big enough to win out over every
other attraction devised to draw the
youngsters out on the streets.
What other attraction can offer such
gasps OK delight-such a variety OF
scenes? What boy or girl or even
grOwn-ups would want to miss a trip
into the country by moonlight when
the most commonplace things take on
weird shapes and the shadows reach
out as though directing you along the
best road or calling your attention to
the wondrous scene painted by the
mOOnbeams on the slumbering land

Another Thing Worth Knowing.
And another thing you women ought
TO know about an automobile Is that
the confidence and self-reliance which

sible for the sturdiness and agrees

The evolution Of the automobile is
one Of the wonders OF the world. From

ness, as well as in the daily lives OF
men, and now the biggest and prob

the business is that the motor car has
become an institution in the American

the interest OF every member-prob-
ably the most valuable thing for the
welfare Of the entire family outside OF
the home itself. That is the big thing
every woman ought to know about an

rather up to the pedestrian to look out
for his safety in the streets rather
than for the motor car or any other
Vehicle driver to look out for the man
in the street 1t is this attitude of
drivers which causes the majority of
accidents and causes them to disregard

moral side Of the traffic problem is

drives a car or any other vehicle re-
allies that he is morally responsible
that the traffic problem will become
less difficult to handle"
Reports from traffic officers and pa
trolmen show that fully IS percent OF
traffic violations are caused by motor
car drivers and large percentage of
these by either owners or drivers Of

by men Of such a standing, Of such ed

SPEND DAY AT LAKE MARY

The social auto run from Williams
to Lake Mary last Sunday was one of
the most enjoyable events of the sea-
son, according to those who partici-
pated in it from Flagstaff.
There were about fifteen cars from
Williams in the run and there was an
average of four persons to car,
which made up good sized party.
There was boating, fishing and at
noon there was food galore, brought
along by the visitors for the occasion.
What rain there was did not seem to
mar the festivities in the least.
The club is know as the Gateway
Club" and has a membership of six
teen auto owners, though but recently
organized.
They were met by a number of
Flagstaff auto owners who went with
them to the lake to spend the day.

well as to the better display of fancy

decorated with them, one would Judge
that the opening was very success

CHAUTAUQUA AS
VIEWED BY THE LADIES

The Chautauqua is now only a
pleasant memory--yet one is glad to
take few minutes off and digest the
feast of good things we had. Each
and every one has his own preference
for certain musical number or lee
ture and will stoutly maintain it to be
the best on the program. This is as
it should be for therein lies the rea-
SON for varied selection of artists.
Perhaps the Melting Pot" will claim
unanimous vote for popularity and
appreciation and it may well do so
for each member of the company was
an artist and putting them into a
strong play, only the best of results
could accrue.
Its far cry to another Chautau-
qua but it is an assured fact never
theless and doubtless due to the gen.
eral feeling of satisfaction over this
years one.
