 standardization has made possible the success of Henry Ford and hds brought the average retail cost of well over one-half of the AmeTican-made cars under a thousand dollars. This and other phase of thC indUstry's growth show how impressively it has gone forward and with the minlmuB of bad effects resulting from suicidal competition and the ordinary mush- room growth.
 The show which opens this evening at the Hotel Taft is one indication of the stage which the automobile in- dustry has reached and of the part it has come to play in the city of New Haven. It is predicted that for the year 1916 something like a InilIi.n and q quarter of machines will be manufactured and sent out to join the thousands and thousands already in use. Not only that, but we are given to believe that with the increased out put will come a betterment in actual quality. The wheels of the industry turn fast and skilfully. Not all man.. kind can get about by motor. And yet a surprising proportion of our pop ulation manage to work up something more than a passing acquaintance with what but short time ago were the of the "horseless carriage. The advances made are impressive. The only regrettable feature of it ell is the shameful way we have been obliged to go back on our tried and faithful friend and ally, tho horse.

THE AUTO AND THE HORSE.
Faithful Friend of Man Rapidly Civ
 ing Way 10 Modern Inventions.

SI.J
 There are the lovers of the horse. It is doubtful if these will ever go back on their old friend. Then there are those who do not sec the way to afford substitute for the horse and who in erefOre, continue to use this beast of burden in the most economical ways they can devise. In these cases the horse is apt to suffer. Un6erfeed- ing, neglect of sh2es, and placing the reins in the hands of youthful or otherwise inexperienced drivers make these not the happiest days on rec ord for the horse. Not only that, but there is heard the protest in our great cities that the day of the horse so far as his usefulness for business in large, conGested communities is concerned, IS about over. Within easy memory the horse was indispensable; he even fur nlShed the horse power for street cars 1t comes as a sort of jolt to be told that the wheels of the big cities car turn with less difficulty and with more cX- petition when the horse has been aI- together eliminated. Among other things, 1t suggests at what speed we are learning new ways and adjusting ourselves to different agencies for car rNlne on our work and contributing to our pleasure. There can be no pro- test raised against a passing lament that so faithful a friend of man as the horse has proved himself to be, should have to pass. Sentiment still has it's pleasant uses
 But of the arrival of the day of the automobile there can be little doubt Moreover there can exist but one req sOnable view as to it's permanenry. The aeroplane is the one threatening rival which the imagination suggests. and no demonstration is needed to convince that here there can he no serious rivalry. The automobile will undoubtedly undergo changes in the process of refinement and ercaicr utility, but essentially it must remain the same type of locom otton which it now is. Starting as craze during It's experiment stage. the automobile presently began to reveal it's possIbii- itieT Lf permanenCy-.

NO EQUATOR. NO SPRING.

There is now much contention going
 OF among philosophers and weather prophets as to just what is spring.
 Some are beginning to believe there
 is no such creature. In the long and
 far distant past we had been always l led to the belief that spring began on ] the sixth day after the ides of March
 when the spring beauties first showed i their pretty noses above the ground and sent forth their slender racemcs with pretty rose-colored flowers; when the birds hovered outside the ed-chamber in the carly morning hours and started an incessant chat
 ter of song and tWitter; when the glorious sun shOne over the hills and
 bathed the dells in mellow light;
 when the school boys were overta ken by that dreamy, drowsy, dreary feel ing, the sensation that meant the do- and swimming expeditions in the brook; when a young mans fancy lightly turned to thoughts of love. That is what we in our unsophisti- beginning. But now we have changed our mind, much in the same fashion as the men of other days were wont to give way in their opinions and lis
 experienced beings. It had to come,
 sooner or later, this discreditinG of
 spring The wiseacres of a bygOne era saw fit to distribute it's period over March, April and May, after first causing doubt as to it's very lncep- i ton. It was never firmly estab- i lished whether spring began on the ! twentieth or the tWenty-first of March, | no more than those mysterious work 1 CTS of the calendar are sure whether i the ides came seven days after the

 And so today we arc in a uuandrY, l ignorant of what season of the year ! is holding forth in our midst, whether
 it is spring or winter. We arc quite sure it is not summer. and that ends
 our certainty. The almanac,-we had , almost called them all maniac-mak CTS have something to explain. The
 sun has passed the equator and when i Old Sol accomplishes that journey spring is supposed to be with us. It may be that the equator has been torpedoed without warning by a sub marine Tn that event there would . be no equator and likewise no spring.
 Without doubt this must be the eX- ! planation. No equator, no spring.
