Just before the war broke out, when
the Underwood tariff went into effect,
there was rushed in from England to
the port Of New York millions CT dol

closed nearly every cotton mill In New

ond England still ranks first, but
even the British mercantile marine has
suffered heavily. Germany's mer-
chant shipping has been out of COM
mission since the early days of hos
tilities. Compared with Norway, Amer
iol's war boom relatively has been
a small affair. The European strug-
gle has brought more money to
the United States than to any other
country, but, comparatively, Norway
has been the big gamer. The Norwe-
gians are richer to the extent of $780,
600, 900 in actual cash thus far. To
properties they already owned there
has been added a value of approx
mately as much more. This is on
basis of a population of 100000. An
addition of $50 per capita to Nor
ways wealth in year and half has
been felt emphatically. Millionaires
have been created wholesale. Many
of them are millionaires only in kroner

but a jump from nothing, in 18
months to fortune of s250,000 or
$270,000 which has happened in hun

The annual tire bill paid by Ameri-
can motorists is s2OO 100000. as re-
vealed by recently compiled figures on
the combined sales OF all tire companies
,in 1915" said Leo j. frost, OF the
Franklin Motor Car company.
"Of that amount 800, 900 could be

tics of a prominent technical authority
who last year received thousands Of
reports from owners of cars of all
makes.
The car of ideal service was deter
mined by selecting the make which
registered the highest average mileage
per set Of tires. The result of this clas-
sification matched consistently with
the national average published by the
manufacturer OF the car established as
the standard-963O miles per set OF
tires. The mileage OF ali the other
makes Of cars averaged 1850 miles per
set, less than half the basic mileage

MANY NEW IDEAS IN

There has just been delivered TO

was built in conformity with the long.

wheels and the maintaining Of the

blended in to the complete satisfac-
