HALF OF HAIR

Overland Inspectors Watch For
Variance of Even Less Than
Human Hair

Can you imagine an object two

less than one-half the width of hu-
man hair?
1t isn't very likely that you can
measure much less see an object of
such minute proportions, unless you
are equipped with micrometer or mi
croscope.
Yet the cylinders of automobile mo-
tors are subject to such riorous inspec-
tions in some manufactures that a
varionce of o-thousandths of an
inch is sufficient cause for the rejection
of the cylinder under examination.

to make sure that it isn't too, large,
for should that plug fit into cylyinder
it would be promptly rejected. How
ever, reflections from this cause are
few and far between, because of the
ations through which the cylinder has
passed.

the Willys-Overland Company is to
manufacture as perfect a product as

no loss of pewer through improper

CHANDLER DEMAND
SHOWS INCREASE
Contracts For $30,000,000
Worth of Skies For
1917

The Chandler Motor Car Company of
Cleveland has closed contracts with its
distributors, totaling more than $27,-
100000 worth of cars for 1917. figuring
the value of these cars at the tour
ing car price only. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that large mum,
ber of closed cars will be produced
and sold during the year, the total
value of cars already contracted n tor
by distributors will exceed SSO,ooO;VOv.

that they were enthusiastic would be
putting it mildly indeed.
For more than a month 1t was
pretty swift work, but pleasant: Chand-,
ler dealers are prosperous. They had
a great year in 1916 and know that
they have the best sales proposition in
the industry and don't mind saying so.
Some distributors who showed as much
as 200 per cent. increase in 1916, are

"Orders from Madrid indicate that

export orders come through to the
factory daily. Wherever 1t Is introduee
ed, the Chandler has met with almost
instant approval. An initial order
from any country has. without eNcep-
ton, been the forerunner OF big busl-
ness.
THE approval with which it has met
in foreign fields, is substantial testi-
mony to the mechanical excellence OF
the Chandler car These export orders
do not come as a result of the wide
popularity of the car in the United
states, but solely as result of the em-
the Chandler, and because of its better
design and construction, and because of
its marvellous motor"
Boxing the Chandler Six for its long
overseas journey requires specially
trained workmen. In packing for these
export shipments the car is first run
on the bottom plate of the box (after
the car has been thoroughly testedl

are removed. The car is secured in po-

then placed on flat cars, two automo-
biles to a flat car and about twenty
five flat cars to each train.

BOXING LIKED BY SOLDIERS
Art of SeIf-Defense Has for Long Time
Been Encouraged in English
Army and Navy.

The introduction of the manly art of
self-defense into the training work of
the various military camps throughout
this country will be good thing for
the young soldiers.
In England boxing has for long
time been encouraged in the army and
navy.
Many noted British professionals are
men who learned to box while serving
in the ranks or on shipboard in the
royal service.
1t is certainty that from now on
the same ideas will be carried out in
this country, and 1t is sure to follow
that boxing gloves will be part of the
equipment of every encampment of the
American soldiers and of every Ameri-

Detroit Leader.

There is little doubt that the New

paign begins, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. It has been rumored with
more or less frequency all season that
President Rupert was extremely dis
satisfied with the results obtained I'M
der Manager Donovan, but that he did
not blame him personally for the poor
showing of the team.
One official of the Yankees went so
far as to say that Donovan would be
with the club next year, but this is
secuted by those in position to know.
Tom Needham, the old Boston and Chi
cago catcher, who managed the New
ark club of the International league
with much success this year, would be
the man at the managerial helm of the
luckless Yanks in 1918.
Within the last two weeks. however,
1t has come to our knowledge that
Colonel Rupert, who was In Chicago
ostensibly to confer with President
Johnson. about his managership, will
not be satisfied unless he gets man
whose success will not be at al prob
