Many Tributes For The
Peerless Advantages

The last weeks incoming mail at
the factory of the Peerless Motor
Car Company, of Cleveland, has
brought in an unusual number of
tributes concerning the touring ad-
vantages of the Peerless Eight. Com
ing as they do just as the fall tour
ing season Is getting under way, the
factory executives regard them as
encouraging evidence of the ap-
proach of another big selling season.
Among the scores of letters which
arrived was one telling of a Peerless
Eight, the property of Samuel Gut
man, of Boston, having been driven
20,332 miles on one set of front tires.
These tires are now on exhibition in
the salesroom of the Beacon Motor
Car Company, of Boston. Gutman
bought his car June Is, 1916. II
was equipped with u special winter
top, which has never been removed,
thereby adding 500 pounds to the
weight of the car.
Charles Il. Thomas, of st. Louis
wrote from NiXville Notch, n. II.
"Just ran the Peerless 1,714.04 miles
over the mountains on 1876 gallons
of gasoline, averaging little over
thirteen miles to the gallon. Went

Second Nokomis Released
To Government By Dodge

Shortly after the United States
declared war on Imperial Germany,
a dapper crew of officers and men
sailed away from Detroit in the
Nokomis, acknowledged the finest
steam yacht on. the great lakes. The
vessel was being turned over to the
government for war service on the
high seas.
H. e. Dodge Detroit motorcar
manufacturer, was at the dock to
wave farewell when she departed.
Without debate he had turned over
his magnificent vessel for war duty,
when it was announced that boats
of this variety could be Used to ad-
vantage in the patrol and convoy
service. The Nokomis cost approx
imately $25O,000. She is now on
duty somewhere on the Atlantic"
Last week Mr.. Dodge went down
to the dock to waive another fare
well. A newer and much larger
and more splendid Nokomis had
been completed in the meantime,
and she, too, had been called to the
colors. Yachtmen of all the world
expressed admiration for her grace
fulness and magnificent equipment
when she came up the st. Lawrence
a few months ago on her way from
Wilmington, Delaware, to Detroit.
So admirably was she adapted to
the governments needs that nego-
tiations for taking her over were
begun almost Immediately, despite
the fact that the original Nokomis
had been turned over for service
only short time before. Mr.. Dodge
however, recognized the necessity
for ocean tonnage as one of the
requisites of war, and made the sac
rifice.
The new Nokomis was in his pos
session just long enough for a
months cruise and one fishing and
hunting trip into the northern lakes
The latter sojourn was shortened
to give the government men more
time to trim her down" for the
trip to the navy yard. Included in
the trimming" was the removal of
thousands of dollars worth of cost
ly furnishings not vital to the i'm
mediate needs of the officers and
men of a man o. war.
The new Nokomis is q 582-ton
steam yacht, 243 feet over all, with
q 35-foot beam

Lord Northcliffe Inspects
Motorcar Factories

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord North
cliffe, editor and owner of the Lon
don Times and of several other
British newspapers. perhaps the
most notable figure in the worlds
journalism, visited Detroit on Oct
ober 16 in his capacity of civil head
of the British war mission to the
United States and witnessed the
testing of two Liberty airplane mo-
tors at the packard Motor Car
Company's factory.
Lord Northcliffe said that he is
gratified at every preparation Am
erica is making for her part in the
great war, and he particularly
praised American industries for
their efforts and accomplishments
You are assured a splendid army
of sufficient size," he said. "Your
munitions will be adequate and
your agriculture production of ample
volume. America is making a mis-
take, however, in her program for
building ships. She will require al
least six million tons of shipping
while the plans for ship construc-
tion are far less than that.
Without the shipping tonnage
necessary, there will be no way to
make adequate use of the facilities
you are devising"
Lord Northcliffe while in Detroit
was the guest of Phillip H. McMil-
Ian, secretary and treasurer of the
Packard company. He was escort
ed through the plant by President
Alvan McCauley. and was shown
the Liberty motor in the makine
and running under test. Howard
10. Coffin, chairman of the aircraft
production board of the Council OF
National Defense, Henry Ford, Ed.
sci Ford, and Col. Stewart, military
secretary to the British war mis-.
sion, accompanied him.
The British commissioner also in.
spected the Ford plant. He ad.
dressed Detroit men of affairs al

Detroit Athletic Club by Mr.. Nc.

SHE HAD MAYNARD DAUGHTER
Neiuhbor Was Surprised When She
Found Cause of Severe Rebuke
Administered by Mother.

A lady living in a large apartment
house relates the following:
81 had occasion one day to visit the
apartment of neighbor. Such grave
and earnest tones of remOnstrance
reached my ears, as l approached my
friends room, that I hesitated about
intruding. l found her winsome young
daughter with her, and the mother had
evidently been rebuking her, for the
girls face was flushed, and there were
tears in her eyes.
"COme in," said my friend. II have
finished what was saying to Jenny,
and l hope she will remember my
wishes"
"Ah. these children - these chill
dren !' thought to myself. How way
ward they are, even gentle things like
Jenny, and how tremendous are par
ent's responsibilities!
"I have Just been telling he"," con-
tinued my friend, "that she must not
wear her evening gloves whHn she goes
shopping in the morning. In the first
place, it is not genteel; and in the
second place, it is extravagant."
Her evening gloves! And yet, as
sure you. her tone and expression, and
the impression made on the child,
would have beftted serious wrong

RECOGNIZE WOMAN AS EQUAL
Heads Of lndustriaI Plants Say She
Can DO Any Work Consistent With
Strength Better Than Men.

Once man pretended 10 place wom-
an on a pedestal and worship her.
Now, according 10 Donald Wilhelm,
who reports "The Confessions OF a
Munltion- Maker" in the Century, he
is forced to recognize her as an equal,
and respect her. The quotation be-
low states the opinion of n hardhead-
cd factory foreman, on the Importance
of women in the world Of labor:
'Welch, one can see, isn't emotion
al. One can trust his judgment OF
women.
THAT Is why l was glad he was
present in the officers room Of the
company eating quarters when the re-
port was made in detail Of the strike
scheduled to take place the follow
ing Monday morning. He made a
speech, saying:
Gentlemen, we've all known wOm-
en- practically all our lIves-ever since
we were born, practically. Most OF
us get to thinking that woman can't
do mechanical work because they're
always willing to let n man use the
hammer, that being something he
thinks he can do. But II woman can
do it. A woman can do anything that
a man can do, and most things bet
ter, but men can't do anything neat
what women can do. Now, maybe
you can imagine what women can dc
In mechanics, and know what they
can do. Leaving out big girls, | say
