Dear BOWEL. by the looks Of things
and the claps of thunder we had one day
this week, 1t looks as though we are at
last out of the barrel and that good old
summer time Is not so many miles away.
Certainly hope that we can put our all
weather tops. winter tops, or whatever
other name you want to call the closed
and lay back in our car and give Old Sol
chance to beat down on us for a time
at least until he gets too strong.
There is an old saying that II you keep
everlastingly at 1t you will gain your
end. Roy Livingston has been trying
for four months TO get a gasoline tank
installed In his place. He was baked at
everv turn by some regulation, but as
last. by persistency. he succeeded In
overcoming all objections. Any day now
you are apt to see him on the end of the
pump handle clicking out that precious
fluid that makes the wheels go around.
That crowd w at Smith-Trews is GER
tainly a happy. one. Nothing gives any
of them more pleasure than to get some-
thing on the other fellow. 1t Is a con-
tinusl struggle between them all to see
who will get the next order for a REQ or
Oakland. Result: they are all full of pep
all of the time and they keep Joe" Trew,
head of the company, busy ordering more
cars.
Was in Cook & stoddards the other
day and had quite an interesting visit
with ]. NJ. Stoddard. president of the
company. He told me something that

that the Cadillac Motor Company has
been building cars, they have never low

raised II. Quite a record. isn't It? ~. NJ

his visit to the War Department, and he
had reason to be. Brought home an Or
der for % Packard 1h-ton trucks. Guess
that was not going out and cleaning up.
All Of them by now are on their way to
Mexico to lend their hand In the chase
of Villa.
I guess that the palm goes to Claude
Miller for doing a days work and all
the while finding time to grant an in
terview to every one that wants to see
him on any business. You know he is
head of one of tho largest automobile
concerns in this neck of the country. He

that he was formerly manager for the

BUYERS NOW ARE WISE
People Purchasing Cars No Longer
Can Be So Easily Deceived About
Quality of Machines.

The success OF a business depends
largely upon the demand for the ar
tlcles IL manufactures. The demand
may antedate the article itself, or
II may be created. The factor of
demand regulates the quantity and
the quality OF the product.
The automobile business is no ex-
ception to this rule. In fact, II fur
nishes strong argument In its sup
port-something which can easily be
proved by contrasting the sutomo-
bile Industry of today with that of
ten years ago.
Then 1t was a will-o'-the- wisp. un-
stable, controlled by demand that
was as tickle as the supply-a DE-
mand that was characterized by lack
OF knowledge OF the first principles
necessary for service.
There were some manufacturers in
those days who knew little more
about their product than he who
bought II. The public accepted their
intricate and ofttimes crudely con-
structed assemblage OF parts known
dsavored to make II perform the
work for which It was intended.
Standards Raised.
What was the result? Naturally
desire in the mind of the prospee-
tive owner TO know what he was get
ting, a steady raising Of the ideals
OF the motorist, brought about by
close study OF the Fundamental
principles OF automobile construction
and the application of this knowledge
to an analysis of the car offered for
his approval before he paid his money
for it.
Therefore, the automobile buyer, by
his increasing knowledge of correct
principles and the study that enabled
him to analyze car. created a de-
mand for efficiency which raised the
standard of many manufacturers
from the point where they were con-
tent to turn out anything that would
or could go" to a point where sue
cess depended on their ability to meet
that demand.
Today we have a unit OF efficiency

that comprise a good automobile and an
| organization, tuned in perfect accord.
that has built into its product the
principles required by public dems nd.
We see these forces working together.

co-partnership reflected in the automobile

people in the back seat, and they Will

Fourth. Be good to your car.
This Is one Of the most important
rules for the chauffeur to follow. Every
chauffeur cannot be expected to be an
expert mechanic, but he can and should
take good care of the car, often repre-
senting thousands OF dollars, which Is
put In his charge, and which, whether
his salary be large or small, he should
give to that car, every care necessary to
prolong its life, just as honestly as II II
were his own car. Don't spare the grease
and oil il Is life to the car, and is the
one expense which even the most parsi-
monious employer must admit is a need
tul one. An hour a day spent In going
over the car will repay every chauffeur,
as his employer Is sure to notice car
that always runs sweetly; and the chauf-
feur that looks after his viii very seldom
have to look for another position.
Fifth. Be sober.
A chauffeur should not drink intoxi-
cants but as this Is not temperance
lecture, We will modify that statement to
A chauffeur should not drink on the
job! 1t is criminal. just as much so as
the surgeon who performs an operation
while intoxicated. There should be a law
in the District which would enable the
policel to arrest any chauffeur seen en-
tering or coming out of a saloon, while
on duty, and a chauffeur found intoxi-
Gated while operating a car in the Dis
trict should be heavily fined or given
term in jail. Let this be done and
there will be a noticeable falling off OF
automobile accidents in Washington.
Let all ohsuffeurs who are members
Of the Professional Chauffeurs' Associa-
ton observe these five rules, and the
result will be a strong, reliable associa
ton: and the chauffeur as an individual
will make for himself and his calling
better name and better rating In
the District of Columbia.

consideration. Georgia is in an equally
hopeful condition, while Mississippi In

legislation because it called for. an en-
gineer with a salary of $500 a year.
