'APPERSONS BUILD
 FIRST PRACTICAL.
 PLEASURE GAR
This Model is Now in the Smithsonian Institute in
 Washington

Twenty-Five years ago the Apper- son brothers, Elmer and Edgar, built the first practical pleasure car This model is today in the Smithsonian in stitute in Washington.
 It is far cry from that first model to the thing of power and beauty that the Apperson Brothers Automobile company are today offering. Through all these years they have been in the forefront in the evolution of all classes of motors and those other ap- pointments which have made the pleas ure car of today not only thing of luxury but necessity as well.
 It is and ever has been in their mo- tor that the Apperson brothers have had supremacy Other cars have had beautiful appointments and ultra re. finements, but from the time that their first motor was given it's first official tryout over the Indiana roads until

AUTOMOBILE INDISPENSABLE

Proof that the automobile is now regarded by the public as one of the greatest and most Indispensable of utilities, is more prolific every day the war grows older.
 There are forcihle and insistent pleas for economy both from official and unofficial sources. constant asi- tation fayoring retrenchment in tke buying of luxuries, sound grounded arguments that every citizens duty is to back the government to the ex- tent of every dollar he can spare. But despite this anprecednntea up- heaval. the demand for Dort cars at least proves that tho automobile can not be spared from the accepted scheme of things.
 The professional or business person who does not own car Is today at a very decided disadvanta~e with competitors. Tho war intensifies this disadvantage because 1t takes so many tens of thousands of folks from their regular pursuits ana automatically transfers their burdens to others.

 Later he became identified with the Cole Motor company at Indianapolis as vice president and general manager
 Tn commenting upon his new con- nection Mr. Knoblock remarked that he believed that the right kind of q tractor offered the greatest opportu- nifty of anything in the manufactur- Ing world today, because it was fast becoming an economic necessity which would revolutionize agriculture as well as prove an important factor in indus- trial work.

CLOSED CARS POPULAR

According to reports from the Dort Motor Car company, tho new Dort four-season cars arv selling equally well in all parts of the country. re- gardless of the variation in climate
 ''The fact that the chilly north and east and the milder south and west are both partial to the four season car Is conclusive evidence that this typo Is destined to universal prefer ence," says R. c. Pierce, manager of the Pierce Motor Car company, local Dort dealers.
 And tho Dort experience Is a re- liable straw, judging from what other dealers report. Closed and convert- ible cars are coming into their own as the one best buy for the man who does not care to keep more than one automobile"

In view of the advanced methods ot motor ear construction which prevail at tho present time, 1t Is the theory of J. J. Cole, head of the Cole Motor car company of Indianapolis Ind. that the manufactufers should now con- centrste their main efforts toward in- creasing the adaptabiHty of the ve- hicle for various requirements.
 When 8 man builds a home" says Mr. Cole, "he endeavors to make 1t adaptable to all conditions and suit able for all seasons of the year. Gen eraily speaking. 1t Is designed for summer or winter, business or social pleasure and for family enjoyment.
 That is exactly what we have had in mind in the building of one of our leading products--ths four-doo~ tour sedan Because o1 It's unique con- struction, IL will answer every pas- senger car requirements that we can think Of It gives it's owner five dis tinct types of cars in one unit and who Is there who would require more than five cars for his personal use?

MOTOR TRUCK PERMANENT

The motor truck has become a part of the standard equipment of the farm. In most any agricultural part of the state you will find the farmers enthusiastic over the increased possi- bilitles the motor truck offers Not only do they insure the rapid trans- portation of supplies from town. and unusual flexibility for general haul age work about the farm, but in get ting their produce to warehouse or shipping point in the quickest time, so as not to delay the food supply wkseh our allies and our boys over there are counting on.

| today the Apperson motor has had few peers
 At various times during these 25 years, from the single cylinder type to their present powerful, yet silent, eight-cylinder, these two builders Of automobiles have been pioneers in de- tail after detail.
 The new Apperson model, while varying but little from their imme- diately preceding model. has yet those little refinements of line and again those essential refinements of motor which have always marked another step in advance in the evolution of Ap- person cars.
 The Apperson motor is simplicity it. self It is different from any other eight-cylinder engine now being man ufactured. Perhaps the clearest way to express it would he to gov t',~+ N $ the single Apperson four-cylinder doubled.
 As in the four cylinder, but the sim gle cam shaft is used in theA person eight. To the best of our l1nowl- edge this is the only eight cS tnuer motor with but one cam shaft ana two cam gears. Through the use of this single cam shaft the old trigger board, which is found in other eight~cylinder motors, has been eliminated. When you figure that this removes between 80 to 90 moveable parts of the engine, you can realize what a long step tho Appersons have made toward the quiet, flexible, more efficient motor. This is but one example of the real value found in the Apperson car.

Miss ostgaard's tonal qualifications
were particularly good in what was
judged by many as her best number,
Nocturne, by Brassin. Pleasing
rhythm marked the Ole Oleson group
of four modern Norwegian compost
tions and the Bach Saint Saens

and her two Schubert numbers were
all artistically played.
Miss McCracken did excellent work
in interpreting the Handel Gavotte
and the Beethoven Andante, which
formed her first group, both repre-
senting the modern school of musi-
cal writing. The daintiness charae-
teristic of some of the French modern
composers was pleasingly illustrated
in her playing Of PoIdini's Marcne
