WOMEN TO MAN STREET CARS.
Davenport Up Against il For Labor
Men Taking Jobs in Rock
Island Arsenal.

Davenport, Ia, April 30.-Women
motormen and women conductors
will be working on the street cars OF
Davenport in the near future unless
there is an abrupt change in the
present conditions of labor. Even
the officials of the Tri-City Railway
company are seriously alarmed at the
Wholesale designations of their en-
ploys who are obtaining governmer!
Jobs at the Rock Island arsenal.
1T is absolutely impossible for us
to get men," said a prominent Off
cial of the Tri-City Railway company
today, land it is quite possible that
in the near future we will adopt the
English system, which has worked
out so satisfactorily and put women
on our street cars as motormen and
conductors.
The war time salaries being paid
at the arsenal at the present ume
are proving attractive to many OF
our employees, who believing that this
work will last for a long time as
certainly seems TO be the case, are
leaving their jobs and connecting
up with the government. So far as
can see the employment of women
on street cars is the only solution OF
lour nrohlem
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1917-05-02

from their investigation that over
one-half Of the mileage of the 3,O0O,-
600 cars is used for business pur-
poses. Literally, this means that of
the 100000 automobiles running
in this country today one-half, or /,
1000, are used for business pur-
poses. This leaves only one and
half million in use for pleasure or
social transportation purposes.
In considering the 100000 auto
mobiles in use today, which may
legitimately be classed as pleasure
cars" an important fact should be
borne in mind, namely: the so-called
pleasure car of today has a distinct
economic use, it being only reason
able to deduce that the time and mo-
ney spent il motoring for pleasure
or social intercourse almost invari-
ably takes the place of some other
form of expenditure of less actual
economic value. Motoring is a pleas
ure that makes for broader vision,
saner and more helpful diversions,
and more sympathetic social life. A
nation without it's sane pleasures is
hopeless. Therefore, it is far from
logical to consider the so-calIed plea
sure car of today as an added luxury
If production increases at the av-
erage rate maintained for the past
five years which is unlikely, due TO
greater manufacturing problems and
to inability of the selling and distri-
butive branches to keep pace with
greatly augmented manufacturing
volume-the point of saturation will
not be reached for five or even seven
years. And some of the leaders in
the industry predict that it will be
matter of ten or twelve years.
All signs point to a continued de-
velopment for several years to come
for just how long it is difficult to
say, but as in many other new fields,
limitations and curtailment of ex-
pansion, arbitrarily predicted, are
merely evidence of shortened vi
sion or unfamiliarity with all of the
facts.
1t is true that materials and labor
are more expensive and increasingly
hard to secure. This condition is not
serious, nor is it likely to be. The
makers of medium and high-priced
cars overcome the difficulty by an
advance in their selling prices. The
manufacturers of low-priced cars
build in much greater quantities, are
protected by contracts until the end
of the automobile year, July, 1917,
and are able to absorb additional ex-
pense by spreading it out over a
great number of units and by in
creasing their manufacturing efticien-
cy.

Origin of "Plagiarist".

One who appropriates-that Is
steals, the literary work of another
to use it as his own, though the
child of his own brain, is guilty of
aglarism, as everybody knows, yet
few are acquainted with the deriva-
ton of the word or know that the
plagiarist is literally a child stealer.
Among a certain class of criminals in
Rome in the time of the earlier
Caesars there existed the fearful
custom of stealing children and sell
ing them as slaves. According TO
Roman law, the child stealers when
detected received as part OF the
penalty for this crime a severe
logging. AS the Latin word playa
signifies a sripe or lash, the ancient
kidnappers were termed "plagart'-
that is, deserving of stripes. So
both the crime and the criminals re-
ceived their names from the castiga-
ton inflicted.

DEMAND GROWS
FOR MOTOR CARS
Three Million Automobiles Used in
u. ). For Business and
Pleasure.
SEVEN MILLION PROSPECTS
FOR NEW CARS
Not Within Range
of Probability for Years to
Come.

So much has been written relative
to the development of the motor car
industry and so many prophesies
have been ventured without proper
consideration of vital and controll-
ing factors, that a clear and simple
analysis of the subject may serve to
dissipate much of the unfounded
conjecture
The automobile market is divided
into two broad fields. First the rural
class, which includes all persons en-
gagged in farming and others il vari-
GUS businesses who live in towns of
less than five hundred population.
Second, the urban class, which COM
prises all people in any but farming
pursuits, who live in towns of five
hundred or more population.
In the rural farming market,
there are 100000 families. One
|million of these now own motor cars
and one and one-half millions are
poor, illiterate, or negroes, who for
the purpose of this study may be ex
cluded from the prospective buying
class. There remain, then, 4,0O0,-
900 farm families who are possible
automobile buyers.
In the urban class, covered by
1000 towns and cities of more
than five hundred population. there
are about 100000 home owners of
which number only 100000 now
own cars. Accordingly, there re-
main 100000 prospective buyers
in this class, or a total actual unsold
market, in both rural and urban
classes, of 100000 possible auto
mobile buyers.
The accepted average life of an au-
tomobile is about five years in the
hands of the original owners; and
as the man who once owns car Will
not thereafter be without one, we
must include the recorder market
which in the calendar year of 1917
will be about 100000, this being
twenty per cent. of the 100000
now in use.
For the year 1917, therefore, the
automobile business will face a mar
ket of about 1900, OO0 possible buy
ers. Not more than 100000 cars
will be built in the coming year,
leaving possible excess market of
100000 buyers at the beginning
of 1918.
These figures are decidedly con
sentative because they take 40 con-
sideration of Cd any export outlet,
CD the people who have or will have
two or more machines, CD increas-
ed population, (4) increased pros
and city families who do not own the
homes in which they live, but are
well able to buy and maintain a mo-
tor car, CO. the business houses, re

use thousands of roadsters for sales

An Important Fact.
An important and noteworthy fact
is vouched for by the Editorial De-
partment of Automobile Topics" a
well-known trade authority. which
has been making careful analysis
of the comparative nature of auto
mobile service. They state that of
the 100000 motor cars of all
kinds in service in the United States
today, they can coIseratively say

Mufial, the t4syear-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Hoag, living
near California junction, had a
narrow escape from death yes
terday. He went to start the
gasoline engine on the farm, but
il was cold and he could not get
it started. Thinking to warm it
up, he built a fire around ii. and
let ii burn out, as he supposed.
He then attempted to prime it,
pouring the gasoline out of D
gallon can. Evidently there We're
some sparks left in the fire. as all
of a sudden there was a terrific
explosion. and the boy was blown
about twenty feet in he air.
When he recovered from the
Shock he was envelopcd in flames,
hut he did not lose his presence
of mind, but ran for the water
tank and jumped in, which prob
ably saved his life. AS it was his
face and head were badly burned.
the engine was totally destroyed.
and ii puppy playing nearby was
burned 10 a crisp. Or. DeNCrc was
called and administered to the
suffering boy.
