LAUGHED TO S|10RN -!
Hundreds of Studebaker
Dealers Leave Factory
Each Day for Cross-Coun-
!. try Runs in New Models.
GET CARS TO BUYERS

The time -honored custom of sitting
back and letting things take their nat
ural course finds no place in the busi-
ness OF manufacturing automobiles.
Motor car makers have gained recog-f
milton as the most progressive OF MOD
crn industrial eleaderss they nave
thrown precedent to the four winds
and have gone right ahead and sue
ccssfully accomplished the things that
lust couldn't be done.
Duripg the presen, serious famine IN
freight cars, perhaps no other indus
try has been harder hit With the
new models announced and orders
pouring into the factories from all
parts of the country, the problem OF
getting the cars into the hands OF
dealers has been one that taxed the
genius and originality of the most
versatile manufacturer Cattle cars,
yondolas and flat cars have been used
to ship trainoad after trainload OF
new automobiles from the Detroit FAC
tories: but now even the privilege OF
communicating these rather crude
methods of automobile shipping are
denied motor car manufacturers. The
shortage of coal and other absolute
necessities have tied up these cars for
the present.
With all available storage space
filled with millions of dollars worth
..f ,,c,,, all tagged and
ready for shipment to dealers through
out the country, serious crisis seemed
imminent. But here again, as in the
past, the ingenuity of the antomoblie
manufacturer came to the rescue And
now, at the big Detroit Studebakel

RAISE N. PRICE
IS NO SURPRISE
Action by Grant Automobile
Corporation in Increasing
Price of Six in Line With
Other Companies.
VALUE is AS GREAT

The increase in the price of the
Grant Six from SS25 to sea3, effective
March l. was not a great surprise to
dealers says w. T.. Johnston of John
ston Motor Car company.
Last fall when other manufacturers
started raising prices, it was soon APP
parent that the average increase
would be about 10 per cent. Since then
labor and materials have steadily ad
vaneed. ON the face of things the in
crease in the Grant price should have
been at least SIS, making the price

Grant factory with a yearly capacity
of over 10000 cars has such exception

CAR DRIVER FIGURES
ON BATTERY ECONOMY

When the motorist buys an auto
mobile he goes very carefully into the
question of gasoline economy. how
many miles per gallon he can get out
OF his motor, and figures out from that
low much he can get out of his motor.
and figures ont from that how much
per mile for fuel it is going to cost him
to operate his car. In driving he uses
as rare mixture as possible to con-
serve the gasoline He looks for the
most economical speed at which to
run his car and makes every effort to
run II at that speed. Getting the most
out of a gallon of gasoline is part Of
the successful operation of the car.

NAVAL MISFITS FIGHT.

Colonel Robert Thompson is president
OF the Navy League. There is no appar-
ent reason why colonel should be at the
head of the Naval League, neither is there
any apparent reason why Mr.. Daniels
should be Secretary of the Navy. In
looking over the list of our distinguished
naval officers whose education and life
work have given them practical knowl-
edge of naval warfare and it's require
ments, we fail to find the names of either
of the above named gentlemen. The
Colonel has incurred the wrath of the
Secretary, and the latter proposes to
"clean up' the Naval League, and has
asked for the resignation of the Colonel.
A house cleaning is needed, and the
President, himself, should man the broom
handle and sweep the rubbish from the
entire Navy department.

THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

About three months ago Congress held
an indignation meeting. One member
announced that the piratical food specu-
lators ought to be hung on lamp posts.
Several other members followed, making
extremely malevolent and vindictive sug-
gestions of punitive proceedings which
ought to be undertaken. Since this
volcanic eruption of congressional wrath,
we have heard not word from these
irate individuals. The frenzied gentle
man who desired to have lynching, and
his colleagues who relieved themselves of
so much denunciatory buncombe, made a
mistake. The people do not want hot air
in this crisis. They demand common
sense, and no member of the present con-
gress will receive any bouquets from his
people unless he shows some symptoms
of having little wisdom

Four Minute Talks.

The Four Minute Campaigns which are
soon to begin throughout Maine in prac-
tically all of the moving picture houses
of the State, have been in operation in
twenty-five States. 1t was the earnest
wish of the National Committee on Pub
lie Information that the Four Minute
Men plan be tried throughout Maine I'M
der the auspices of the Maine Committee
on Public Safety. The officers of the
Executive Committee on Public Safety
have given the plan careful considera-
ton, and are of the opinion that it may
prove very successful method of pre-
senting to popular attention the many
important questions which do and will
confront the country
In each moving picture theatre in all
the towns and cities of Maine the best
known men and speakers in those towns
and cities will be given an opportunity to
talk during the intermission for precisely
four minutes on some subject of national
Importance, the subject to be determined
by the National Committee on Public In
formation. 1t has been found in other
States that campaigns like the Liberty
Loan and Red Cross, for instance, have
been much aided by means of these talks.
In Massachusetts,, the State Commit
tee on Public Safety is most enthusiastic
regarding the success of the scheme. To
quote from their letter: ''Four Minute
talks are given two or three times a
week in 80 per cent of the moving pict-
ure and vaudeville houses in the State.
In Boston talks are given twice a week
in every moving picture and vaudeville
house in the CITY, Almost invariably
when the slide introducing the speaker is
put on the screen there is strong ap-
plause. The Four Minute Men always
have something new and worth while to
say, and the movie fans have found this
out and listen to the talks with intense
interest. The trouble is not to get speak
ers-it is to pick the best one from the
tremendous number of men who apply.
In every city and town the Four Minute
Men are without question the very best
men and best speakers in that town.
This includes the very best known law
yers, professors, ministers and politicians.
In fact, you can hardly name any man of
prominence who has not volunteered his
services to the Four Minute Men work. :"
Professor Paul Nixon of Bowdoin has
been appointed State Chairman of this
Department, and with the aid of the
Executive Committee on Public Safety
is selecting as Branch Chairman in each
town and city a man of prominence and
energy to manage the campaign locally.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Hon. James A. Gallivan of Boston, q
dem ocratic member of Congress, wired a
pr otest to Gen. Crowder against his rul-
ing that married men with wives and
children shall not be exempted from mill
tary service. In his telegram, Mr. CALI
van said:
"We who were not especially enthu-
slastic over cor scription were assured
over and over again during the debate,
by the Administrations representatives
in Congress, that no married man with a
dependent wife or child would be drafted.
The Congressman giving this assurance
were members of the Military Affairs
Committee, and professed to speak for
the War Department.

ton except that this assurance was

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.

Recent dispatches indicate that Eng
land expects the German fleet to soon
make an attempt to emerge from its safe
naval base and make dash for the open
sea and perhaps with an ultimate design
of doing all the damage it can on this
side of the Atlantic. It will not fight
the British fleet if battle can be avoided.
That has been tried and has failed. If
the German fleet leaves it's base we may
rest assured it indicates that all other
hopes Of victory have vanished. Send
. ing out his fleet is the last card which the
ger has to play. If that fails to take
NJ k, the German game is lost. The

ONLY YOUNG GENERALS FOR
FRANCE.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.I

From the Brooklyn Eage.I
General Pershing's reported request of
the War Department that no general Off
Ger be sent to the front in France who is
over forty-five years of age will be dis
tasteful to many National Guard veterans,
but it is in strict accord with common
sense. Dash and energy are vital. 1t is
true that Pershing is himself fifty-eight,
but that does not matter for command
er-in-chief.
Napoleon is on record as praising young
men for field responsibility. He preferred
officers under thirty. He was thirty-six
himself at Austerlitz, and Murat was
thirty-eight. Ney was thirty-nine when
he made his mark by capturing Mannheim
in 1899, but forty-eight when the capitu-
lation of Ulm gave him his ducal rank.
Soult, Just Napoleon's age, was precisely
thirty when he saved the French army
after the defeat of Stockach. Massena
was forty-two at Marengo.
In our Civil War most of the officers
were young. 1t is true that one-armed
Phil Kearney was forty-seven when he
was killed at Chantilly. But Grant was
only forty-one when he took Vicksburg;
Sheridan only thirty-three when he made
his ride for winchester, twenty miles
away" William Tecumseh Sherman
was two years older than Grant. He was
forty-four on that famous march to the
sea.
History seems to justify the rule of
forty-five as an age limit for general
officers, though there are many notable
exceptions of great efficiency after that
age. Pershing is thoroughly practical He
knows that an absolute limit must be set,
or sspull' will come in to upset the appli-
cation of most important general prin-

The Allies are not Fools.

The peace proposals from Germany are
as insulting to the intelligence as they
are to the sense of justice of the Allies,
It is humiliating to see the Gemans per
sist in the notion that the Allies are Gull
lible enough to cease fighting and talk
peace while the burglar is in the house
packing his booty. This low estimate of
the intelligence of the Allies constitutes
proof of the uncomfortable stupidity of
the Germans in international matters and
emphasizes the necessity for dealing with
Germany with bullets instead of negotia-
tion.-From the Washington Post.
