This Year Says John N. WHY'S
President of the WHY'S
Overland Company.

Tho tendency on the part Of auto
mobile buyers to favor small light
cars this years Is said to be due moi
so much TO the fact that the small
car costs less than the big. heavy ma
mine at the start. but that In the
long run 1t Is much more eCOnOm
lCal investment.
According to John n. WHY'S. prcsi
dent OF tho Willy-Oycrland Company
the small car virtually pays for itscl
when figured on n mileage basis AM
compared with the upkecp and main
tennnce cost Of n big car.
ut Is an established fact that thu
life OF an automobile Is not dependent
upon It's size or cost" says Mr.. WHY'S
"ThG modern motor car Of today Is
built TO give long service, regardless
OF whether Its initial cost runs into
hundreds or thousands of dollars. In
other words the majority of cars aver,
age about the same distance in the
final count whether they be large oil
small
Granting this to he true, let us
take as basis to work upon a certain
number Of mlles-say $4,000. This
figure does not represent the life OF a
car hut 1t will answer the purpose for
comparing few OF the different main.
tenance costs between the small and
large models.
THE big car, owing to It's extra
weight requires larger tires than are
necessary for a smaller. lighter ma
chine. The actual size OF the tires
depends on the car itself. but to give
a concrete example will take q
thirty-four by four inch size for the
big car and a thirty-one by four inch
for the smaller car, assuming that
under ordinary usage a set of tires will
last for approximately 5000 miles, nine
new sets would he required by the
owner in $4,000 miles of driving. Tho
difference in cost is not very much
approximately nine dollars on each Sc

owner of the smaller machine.

BUYERS WANT
SMALL EIGHT CARS

high price OF fuel In n number OF
cities gasoline prices have scared to
twenty-five cents q gallon and even
higher. But no matter what the price
Is, the cost of fuel consumption is
proportlonately less with small car
than with big one.
THE average small car will travel
about twenty miles on gallon of gaso-
line and the larger car from ten TO
fifteen. Keeping TO our original figure
Of 10000 miles. this means that the
small car will consume $500 gallons
OF gasoline while the big car is using
approximately 3.4O0 gallons. The diff
ference OF 900 gallons, even when flg-
ured ut twenty-five cents per gallon
amounts to saving OF 1898 for the
smaller car.
1.-THE value Of the larger car also
dcpreclates much more rapidly than
the smaller. medium priced vehicle.
At the end OF $4,000 miles n car that
originally sold for two or three hun
dred dollars more than another, will
bring, perhaps fifty dollars more in
the second hand market.
"All things considered II Is pretty
safe to say that the smaller car actual
ly pays for itself when both first and
second costs are figured up and COM
pared with those of the big car.
While 1t is true that n number OF
car owners may not trouble them
selves about the price of gasoline, the
situation now is fairly serious and if
the high price continues we will be
paying twice as much for this=itom
rs VIC did last year. The largo ma
iority of buyers do not care about
spending more money than is neces-
sary to produce similar result.
THE trend toward the smaller and
more economical CIR is particularly
noticeable at the Overland factory.
Dealers throughout the country are
demanding shipments OF the smallest
Overland, Model IS, which since its
announcement has proved to he the
most popular model we have vet ex-
plotted. It's completeness OF equip
ment and fine appearance. combined
with low upkeep cost. Is attracting
many buyers of larger cars who have
never before been considered pros
poets for n car of this price class. 1t
is simply another evolution of the in
dustry and one for which we were
we'll prepared"

Wesleyan Athletic Association
and Students Will Entertain
the Visiting Teams.

BUCKHANNoN, Mar. 4.-west Viz
ginia Wesleyan will have an honor
Friday and Saturday that no other
state institution of learning has ever
been accorded: that of entertaining
all the important high school teams
of the state in their most important
athletic tournament of the year.
Football is becoming of more i'm
portance each year in the state high
schools, but of the seventy-six first
class schools now existing within the
borders of the state only about thirty
have football teams of any character
whatever, while no less than sixty
have representative basket ball flves
and meet in regular schedules the
teams representing other high schools.
Buckhannon is geographically sit
uated within twenty miles OF the CEN
ter OF the state of West Virginia and
1t is natural that more OF the schools
would be able to compete here than

records OF these teams. The accurate
records filed with the athletic direc-
tor at Wesleyan here show that almost
without exception the teams entered
are evenly matched and that there are
no "lame ducks" In the crowd.
Wesleyan is making great prepare
tions to entertain tHe visitors. The
hotels having proved totally made
quate for the accommodation Of the
teams, appeal was made to the people
OF Bnckhannon 10 throw open their
homes for the players. This has been
done In a magnificent manner and az
Il result the whole bunch Of players,
coaches and managers 10 the number
OF about 300 will be adequately and
comfortably taken care OF. All the
room possible at local hotels was en-
gagged, although some people out Of
town had the foresight 10 engage their
rooms even before the local people
had arranged for the accommodation
Of the players. At no public house in
BuCkhannon is II now possible to sc
cure q room for March 10 and II at
any consideration. They have been

DEALERS ARE
SATISFIED WITH NEW
CREDIT SALES PLAN
Declare Large Volume of Bust
ness Awaits Placing Sys-
tenn in Operation.

Paige dealers throughout the coun-
try are now In receipt OF the prelimi=
nary Instructions for the plan where
by they will be enabled to sell Paige
cars on a partial payment and credit
basis to those buyers who may wish
TO take advantage OF accommodations
of this nature.
President Jewctt, OF the Paige conf
pany, has already received large
number OF letters from dealers who
express their delight and satisfaction
with the plan which, they declare, is
II constructive and conservative ma
in keeping with the dignity OF the
product and the nature of the business
1t is intended to serve.
The dealers also say they believe
the plan- is development in the right
direction and in harmony with the
modern spirit of merchandising. In
all other branches OF retail business
the buyer is given dignitied credit.
In fact, the custom Is so universal
that a very large percentage of all
retail business Is now transacted in
this manner. Whether the article sold
be expensive jewelry or high grade
pianos. the actual cash purchasing
power Is not the governing factory.
neither Is the commodity sold on
credit confined to goods OF low grade.
The custom Is universal and is a
convenience that all classes of people
arc taking ADVANTAGE of. providing
the method is dIgnifed. There is,
therefore, no reason. the Paige men
tell ar. Jewett, why Paige buyers
should not have this advantage IL they
wish 1t.
Many OF these dealers declare they
are eager TO get busy as they already
have a large volume OF business await
Ing the actual operation of the plan,
The plan. however. cannot be put
under way until the dealer Ia supplied
with various forms and documents
necessary for such an undertaking
Each state has different laws govern
ing such transactions and tho dealer
has to be supplied With blanks and
documents in conformity with the laws
peculiar to his locality.
All the preliminary work has been
prepared by the Bankers Commercial
Corporation OF New York through
which the dealer will make the trans
action. This work. under the dlrec-
ton Of Joseph A. Bower. formerly Of
Detroit and now vice president OF the
Bankers Commercial Corporation oil
New York. Is now we'll In hand and
dealers will soon be In possession oil
the documents they need to put the
plan in operation. ~

The tour and work of the safety
Department were described in detail
by Morton f. Leopold and w. l. Swan
ton at the Home Club last night, when
members of the club and of the Wash
ington Safety First Association held a
joint assembly. Stereopticon views and
motion pictures were used to illustrate
the addresses.
Mr.. Leopold said that the safety first
person by the President, members of
the cabinet and other high government
officials. and that in the various states
governors, mayors and other high Of
ficials had taken deep interest in the
exhibits contained on the train He
described the exhibit in detail and the
tour. which covered 5000 miles and in
cluded 100 cities.
Mr.. Swanton dwelt on the work for
safety which is being done by various
governmental branches. and which
was illustrated by exhibits on the
train.
He proposed that floats might be
used in the inaugural parade depicting
bureaus in Washington. He serves
himself best who best serves the pub

men and women in government service,
said Mr.. Swanton. I'm these days of in

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
TO ASK SCOUTS TO HELP
Labor Department Seeks to Enlist
Aid of Boys and Girls in Voca-
tional Welfare Work.

The national organizations of the Boy
Scouts and of the Girl Scouts are to be
requested to cooperate with the work
of the employment bureau established
by the Department of Labor through
the bureau of immigration in its efforts
to plan for the vocational welfare of
youths and young women of the coun-
try. Resolutions to that effect were
passed at a meeting Tuesday, at the The
odorus Bailey Myers Mason house, 1906
Goth street northwest, of the local of
ficers of those organizations, at which
Anthony Caminetti. commissioner gem
eral of immigration, outlined the ideas
of the movement. a meeting is being
held in mmssioner Caminettis office
yesterday afternoon to make arrange
| ments for the organization of local
committee on cooperation and to plan for
future work along this line.
Commissioner Caminetti is to go to
tional officers of both the scout organiza-
tions, and in addition the local officers are
to write to the New York offices. giving
general statement of the idea as view
ed from scout standpoint
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter chairman of
tne local IlFl scout captains tiuD, and
Harley II. Grogan, Boy Scout commits
sioner for Washington, both are heartily
in favor of the idea and at least would
desire to see how it works out here.
The possibilities to be realized
| through the cooperation of the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts with the De-
partment of Labor in this regard are
beyond conception" said Commissioner
Caminetti. Under plans to be placed
in effect the boys and girls OF the coun-
try will be in a condition to select their
out positions offered by the department.
This will tend toward the highest quail
ity of citizenship and to great extent
reconstruct sociological conditions in
the country.
The idea of enlisting the cooperation
of the Eoy Scouts and Girl Scouts fol-
lows the obtaining of the cooperation
of woman labor organizations.
The resolutions adopted at Tuesdays
meeting declared that the addition of
separate divisions for women, girls
young men. boys, teachers and pro-
feSsional service for the purpose of
placing in employment those under six
teen years of age and for the supply
ing of information as to industry, vo-
cational guidance and industrial train
ing for those under that age supplies
a long-felt want. Secretary William
B. Wilson of the Department of Labor
and Commissioner Caminetti were con-
graduated for their efforts in this re-
gard.
