MOTORIST WANTS
COMFORT AS We'll
ASDRIVE POWER
Both Leg Room and Luxurious
Upholstery Are important
Features in Car .

Comfort in the motor car has beer
thing of slow growth" says G. c
Clark of Ables-Hertsch Co.. Stnde
baker distributors "In the days jwher
cars we're machines instead of We
hieles, bodily comfort was less than
secondary oonsideration--the me
chanics Of the conglomeration OF
steel and glass and wire were the
first thought. Nowadays, with the mo
tive units and running gear developed
TO a point where they no longer are a
source of worry, car owners have be
come more appreciative Of what car
designers have tried TO do for their
bodily comfort and have demanded
more along that line.
But just what is meant by COM
fort? I am afraid that the average
motor car buyer looks. upon comfort
as being associated withstthe depth
and righteousness OF the cushions and
upholstery only. Surely il Is more
than that.
Power Means Real Comfort
{ Power, first of ali, heads the list as
the most important OF all motor car
essentials that make for comfort. Pow
er to take you there and back, without
continual shifting of gears and me-
chanical difficulties. Most any car will
run well on good roads-but for com
plets relaxation the motorist wants
an automobile with plenty Of reserve
power to meet all OF the emergencies
OF touring. The driver who shifts
from high to low, or intermediate
for every little grade or stretch OF
rough going certainly cannot be very
comfortable. What you want is a
road car, one you can cit in, keep two
fingers on the wheel and bowl along
at % or 90 miles an hour and not
keep fussing around with pedals and
levers. That's why we talk so much
about road-abiiity.
Leg room Is another mighty i'm
portant feature cf the comfortable
car; room for persons of any size or
height to stretch out in and teet as
free and easy as If in their fayorite
chair at home.
Storm curtains which open with
the doors are innovations which will
be appreciated In inclement weather,
and which mean mOre comfort for the
passengers. Freedom from mechani-
cal trouble, the silence OF ali moving
parts, even beauty Of lines and fin
ish, are all conducive to maximum
comfort-because they mean complete
satisfaction.
''Of course, the cushions of AGAR are
yitally necessar., to the comfort Of
the passengers. I3n... upon careful re-
fIection, It becomes obvious that the
cushions OF a motor car are far from
being the principal features OF a cars

STRENGTH
OF THE NAVY
NEXT STEP WILL BE TO CALL
OUT 10000 MEN OF THE
NAVAL MILITIA

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Mar 90
The enlisted personnel of the navy
is being recruited rapidly, at pres
ent, total of 60,60O men being at
tanned. Congress has authorized a
total strength of $4,000, and given
the president authority to increase
that to $1,000 in emergency, That
power will not be exercised how
ever, until strength of 10000 has
been reached.
In the event of complete mobiliza-
ton three steps would be taken;
Retired officers would be summoned
to duty at yards and other shore sta
tion. relieving active officers for sea
duty; the fleet reserve, now about
1900 strong in highly trained men,
would be called to the colors and
the navy militia, about 10000 would
be called out. With these men avail
able, it is estimated that every ship
of military value, including all re-
serve battle craft and cruisers and
destroyers, could be made ready at
once for action Each reserve ship
now has skeleton crew aboard,
including the men of the engine
room and the gunnery divisions.

It is definitely learned that the pres
dent has not finally determined on
any forward step beyond active
preparation of the navy. He takes
the position that the nation must be
placed In better state Of prepared
ness because, from a practical stand
point, Germany Is making war on the
United States. The nation is already
virtually in a state of war, the only
question being whether there shall
be an immediate announcement.
President Wilson is expected
within the next 4s hours to indl-
cate definitely that he believes a
virtual state Of war exists between
the United States and Germany.

William Denman, chairman Of the
federal shipping board and there was
every indication that he was mapping
out comprehensive plans for the pro-
lection Of American interests in any
eventuaIity.
A suggestion advanced was that
the president might issue call for
Congress to meet within ten days
and in his proclamation point out
the new situation facing the nation
since he asked for authority to ss.
tablish a state Of armed neutrality.
No one professed, however to be
