NOTE ALTERATION
IN AN AUTO CASE

When Walter J. Caldwell of Okla
homa City, then president of the
City State bank. endorsed money
being advanced for purchase price
of machines" on "A $1,000 note cover
ing three automobiles, it wasn't an
alteration that yoided the mortgage,
the supreme court commission said,
deciding Il local case against George
Stiles and Catherine Stiles, Tuesday.
The City State sued to replevin
one of the ears, and got judgment
for the car or $1,000. The Stileses
appealed, contending that Caldwell
had ALTERED" The mortgage. The
court held that since Stiles had failed
to furnish the car numbers as he had
promised, caldwell was justified in
writing the words on the note for
further description of the property.

TICKLING FANCY
is A MANS JOB

Automobile manufacturers have for
Il good many years been depending
solely urun their engineers and me
chauiCs TO produce the improv eunrnt g,
and reGncmrnts uf cars that would
tickle the fancy uf the prospective
purchaser Now keen manufacturers
have taken the other end of the
string. They have begun tn 50 ITO

words they are insisting that their
country dealers give them the benefit
of IDEAS. express iunS and suggestions
made hy the country folk, for the au-
tnmnh.i. is becoming of general use
20 the big. wide country Instead OF
"A pleasure yehir!" for city use and
paved streets only They ar" getting
some good ideas, too, ideas that soon
rr or later will be worked into the
ears, and when they are they will
probably fill the long felt want Of
old adage fame.
Advertising departments are also
beginning to wake up 10 the fact that
they need something just little
more human, a little closer to the
people than the dissertation upon
certain technical improvements that
happen to be in their particular car.
The country dealers are beginning to
nut it squarely up to the manuac-
turers that there are more effective
methods of advertising than simply
prating about the greatness or the
efficiency of organization, manage
ment and size Of plants. There is one
Muskogee dealer who has simply re-
fused to accept advertising copy sent
out by his manufacturing concern
because he can get better advertising
for his agency by making that adver-
tising fit local conditions rather than
following the lines laid down by the
company designed to attract national
attention without getting right close
TO the folk so they will understand It,
Furthermore, this dealer has convinc-
ed one Of the most efficient adyertis
ing departments In the automobile
business that he is right, and the ad-
vertising agencies are giving him free
rein in the matter of copy. They
buy the space and pay for it, but leave

NOW THEY LOOK
FOR DETACHABLES

Now that manufacturers of de
mountabe rims have been enjoined
from manufacturing and selling such
rims, by United States district court
decision, motorists are more than
ever interested in detachable rims, -
says James Atkins, rim expert of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company.
THE decision affects the rim equip
ment on about 80 per cent of the au-
ticipated production of cars for 1916,
consequently there is much specula-
tion as to the type of rim which will
be adopted.
Automobile manufacturers have
lately been giving more attention to
the elimination of unnecessary weight
on their cars, and right in line with
this progress, have given considera-
ton to the increased demand for
simpler and lighter rims. Then, too,
the cost of rim steel is now double
that OF a year ago, and becomes an
important factor.
owing to the unsettled condition
of various other demountable rim
patents, necessarily affected by the
court decision just announced, and
as the straight-side tire has perma-
nent!y taken its place as popular
equipment, detachable rims are in the
limelight.

TOOK THE KAISER PRISONER
One Reason Why Won Iiindcnbura
Was Retired

An American wooden merchant haI
Just returned from Il tour of Ger
many, Austria and Holland, and 20 "a
ralty of his friends who had- luncheon
with him said that what impressed
him most in Germany was the tre-
mendous popularity of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg.
Every shop window, every dwell
ing. every theater hotel. cafe and
restaurant is pllcarded with his pic
ture. Plays. dishes. children al,
named after him. and in the street
when his name is mentioned in the
course of conversation men lift their
hats.
The story of Won Hindenburg's fall
and rise" said he. lis told with much
susto. IT appears that not very long
before the present war started the
kaiser and Won Ilindenburg ap-
gagged in sham battle during tn
regular army maneuVcrs not far from
the Russian border
The kaiser was utterly defeated by
Won lIindenhurg's strategy and ma
neuVers. Finally Won l!indenburg
approached the kaiser and said, Your
majesty. you are my prisoner
The kaiser was furious and openly
showed his state of mind shorty
after Won lindcnburg was pensioned,
and the general belief was that he was
on the shelf
"However, they could not keep him
down. When the war started Won
iliudCnhurg wrote 4 personal letter ia
the kaiser requesting command. To
this the kaiser paid no attention.
Influential friends interceded for
him, but to no avail. Finally. when
the Russians We're on the point of
breaking thru the German lines. Won
llindenhurG's name was again placen
before the kaiser as the only military
nan in Germany who knew every inch
of territory along the Russian border
The kaiser relented and placed him
in command.
He WAS dining I'm little restaurant
IN Berlin when Won lliudenburE re-
,cived word of his command. He did
rot stop TO finish his dinner, but left
at once for headquarters, laid out his
plans and wired his orders, continuing
to do so as his train neared the east
trn front. He made good-so good
that he stands now even above the
kaiser in the empire"
