One juvenile philosopher was discovered the other day, when the news arrived at a certain house that the head of the family fighting with his regiment in France, had been wounded.

 He was told, "In the hand"

with the leading automobile manufac-

According 10 statistics Just compiled
bv the Horseless Ago. following it's ef-

the world. there are approximately
3ll4.oW automobiles in use throughout
the globe. This total seems astonish-
inGiy small when it is considered that
the latest registration figures indicate
that there are 10000 automobiles in
the United States alone. The United
States has long been recognized as the
foremost manufacturer and consumer Of
motor vehicles but 1t remains for the
tabulations Of figures such as those
mentioned above to most strikinely
illustrate this supremacy. Approximate

are being operated over the roads Of this

An idea or the position the United

may be gained when It Is known that
7l4.0o0 cars in service in other sections
Of the world represent less than the
total Of cars registered in the States of
New York. Ohio. California. and Iowa
There is one important factor in con-

STRONG GUARANTEE

One of the most liberal OF service
guarantees that motordom has ever

It has reccntlv obtained.

stance of A sale put this into writing.
II the owner of one of the new Nladisons
runs into a tree or hits a telegraph
pole. the college will repair the damage
with absolutely no cost to the owner
during the first year.
1t is, of course, a fact that this re-
markable service backing Is only made
possible through the availability of the
experts in charge of the college. And
yet in these days when Service is of
such great import to the car owner. it
should be a source of tremendous satiS-
faction to Madison owners. no matter
what the why's and wherefores. MI.
Warwick said that the manufacturers

second the service of their local repre-
sentatves in that the factory agrees to
replace any parts broken or defective

These statements are unquestionably
honest ones. Certainly the National

Marmon "a Upholstery
In Removable Sections

The mechanical construction OF the
Marmon "a is unique in several ways.
but much attention has been paid by
the builders to the development Of
other features.
An example Is the removable uphol-
stery, that for the touring car being
made in sections. each constructed over
a mold on the bench and placed in the
car after the body has been finished.
The sections OF upholstery fasten on
hooks and are screwed down tight at

method the upholstery can be better
constructed and may be removed easily
