The Automobile Pioneers

There was an interesting event at the National Automobile Show at New York a few days ago, when 400 motor and designers were present Never before, the dispatch says, have so many of the pioneer makers of automobiles got together. The occasion was a tremendous con- trast from the days when these orig inators of the automobile were first trying to market their product.
 The automobile business is now one of untold wealth and vast possibili ties. Great fortunes and great cor porate industries have been built up. Fifteen years ago, many present-day millionaires were unknown men, struggling with great mechanical diff faculties and pressing financial prob lems Many of them succumbed to the situation and went into bank ruptcy or broke down physically.
 They had in their heads the germ of a great idea But it was tremen- dously expensive to work it out. In many a dirty little workshop these pi- oneers were wrestling with refractory. motors, trying to make the blamed thing work For every difficulty re- moved some fresh problem took it's place. >Et
 The new automobile went chugging around the country, soaring the horses while farmbers' families rushed to the door to see the new wonder. In every town you can now find some man who

NET RESULT OF
 ALLIED NOTE

The strength of the allied note con sists in the strength of the or1glnal ease. Considering the way in which the war started, and the Justihaole resentment and apprehensfons created by the violation of Belgium, it would have meant utter moral bankruptcy for the Allies to enter into peace conference oh the invitation Of Ger many without some assurance or res titution and all practicable reparatlon. Thew must fight for some such prellm- mary concessions, as long as there IS any fight left in them, and a friendly government which brought pressure on them to begin negotiations without a promise of restitution would be gravely damaging the cause of inter national order. Once a great public wrong, such as the violation of Bel gium, which destroys the very roots of international security and good faith, has been committed, and it's commission has profoundly revolted the conscience of the world, adequate satisfaction for the outrage must sub- sequently be obtained.
 As long as Germany refuses to con- sider Belgium and northern France as properly the object of special treat ment in the treaty of peace, no nego- tiations can be begun. The great ob- ject of the propaganda of the Allies sho lid be to bring home to the Ger man people that their sufferings are caused by an act of violent aggres- sion, that the suffering will continue as long as any attempt is made to profit by violence, but that 1t may we'll cease as soon as they are willing to repair the damage. The joint note of the Allied governments did not make the last point sufficiently clear. It left ambiguous the meaning and the scope of the penalties which they would try to exact from Ger many-"penalties" which might easily be used as the excuse for the treat ment of Germany as perpetual sus- pect, no matter whether she makes restitution and offers guaranties for the future or not. But the bumptious and aggressive spirit of the original German note supplied them with a sufficient excuse for considering them selves on the defensive, and for de- manding as a condition of negotiation an express refusal by Germany to profit by it's own violence.-The New

He would get stranded on some out of the way road, while the country people gathered around and laughed at his predicament.' All the wiseacres were positive that the thing would never be practical.
 The development of the automobile in the past 15 years is one of the most wonderful chapters of human prog ress. One would like to have been present at that dinner in New York, and seen the men who have put through this great proposition. What a story of human persistence and in- genuity they could tell.

TANNING FISH SKINS

Progress is reported by the bureau
of fisheries in its search for a suitable
substitute for cattle hides. More than
200 skins of sharks and about so skins
Of the garfsh, stingray and other
fish have been delivered to tanners
for experimental purposes. The tan
ned skins of one of the sharks and of
some of the smaller fish have been re-
ceived, and a bulletin issued by the de-
partment of commerce says that the
outcome seems promising. The shark
skin has been submitted to the bureau
Of standards to test its strength and
wearing qualities. One company has
informed the bureau that it can fur
nish large numbers of the shark skins
from the South Sea Islands. Two
firms have notified the bureau that
they have perfected processes for tan
ming fish skins.
Necessity has been described as the
mother of invention. If satisfac-
tory substitute can be found for the
skins of cattle in making shoes and
other leather goods the present fancy
prices demanded for foot apparel will
not be an unmixed hardship.-Nash-

MORE PROFITABLE FARMING

On certain group of farms it was
found that % per cent. of the farm
labor was spent in the upkeep or
maintenance labor. From this sort
of labor there can be no cash return,
yet it is necessary that a certain
amount of such labor be performed.
The proportion of maintenance labor
is considerably less on well equipped
live stock farms where diversified
farming is followed than it is on
farms that specialize in cotton or
grain.
The reason for this is that where
live stock is cared for a good part of
the farm labor is employed in the win
ter on enterprises that return cash
for the work performed. 1t is difficult
in the winter on a cotton or grain
farm to find profit bearing employ
ment for the labor which is necessary
during the summer.
If one looks ahead to the summer
work, however, he can find numerous
places in which he can prepare for
such seasons and save the time Of men
and teams when labor is really valu-
able. With careful planning one can
estimate year in advance approx
mately the amount Of labor that will
have to be provided.
Likewise, if we have not already
done so, we should now be planning
and getting ready for harvest time.

INSURE AGAINST DEFEAT!


The American people have plunged
into the gulf of war and they must
fight their way out with sword and
sinew.
The sword of victory will be forged
from the dollars Of the people. The
Liberty Loan will help to win the war,
The alternative is an overwhelming
disaster for us.
We are at war, whether we like it
or not. The groans of our wounded
have not yet reached our ears. The
casualty lists Of our dead have not
yet been posted. The full force Of our
sacrifice has not yet been felt. But
these will come.
The United States has to fight its
way to liberty by wading through
blood and every American home will
feel the solemn nature of the death
grapple. The world can be made safe
for democracy" only after a year or
more of tremendous sacrifice in men
and money.
Our 100000 army of liberation will
hight IN Europe; but the real fight will
be at home to back up that army with
dollars. Every dollar that the people
can save from current income and
from additional economies will be
needed.
No man is exempt. No man is too
poor to do his bit by subscribing for
a Liberty Loan bond, $50 bond, or
a 800 bond.
1t is the duty Of every man to make
solemn effort to save up for the
purchase of bond. In doing so he
not only insures victory in place Of
defeat for the United States, he not
only insures his own savings in a
gilt-edged interest-bearing converti-
bic investment in a first mortgage
on the United States, but he insures
the continuance of business and in
dustry and of his own occupation.
Take out your war insurance today;
buy Liberty bond.

the meager European morning meal. is
recommended for France by Doctor

Doctor Bergonie regards this substi-

~ to relieve the economic situation, by
providing rational n%ourlshment and
avoiding a great deal Of waste.
He bases his argument on the fact
that man requires %sustenance most at
the beginning Of the day when he is
about to make his effort, whereas in
Europe he takes his principal meal
when his days work is half through.
when he is half tired out and is in
capable of so digesting his meal as to
give him proper support for the rest of
the days work.
