DORIS COMPANY
INCREASES CAPITAL
Confines Big Advertising APP
preparation to News
papers.

Concurrent with an increase of
capital to $1,000,0O0 the Doris Mo-
tor Car company of st. Louis has
come under new and very aggressive
management, and it is clearly appar-
ent that much will be heard of the
luxurious Doris" this season
The incoming president, w r. Col
cord, founder of the Colcord- Wright
Machinery company and n director of
the Franklin bank, states that the
capital increase is for the purpose of
culargng the Doris plant To provide
for a greatly increased output. He
also states that a new sales and ad-
Vertising policy has been adopted.
'The outstanding feature of our
new policy says Colcord, lis the
concentration of our sales effort in
newspapers instead Of many miscel-
laneous mediums. our directors be-
lieve that newspaper advertising is the
shortest route between the manufac-
turer and the buyer. We are con-
Vlncod that as man or woman reads
the newspapers for the news of the
world, they can be led or induced to
read automobile advertising for the
latest facts or information about a
car This is. therefore, the basic way
of telling the public the story about
the Doris"
This new policy will mean a great
deal to Doris agents The average
automobile agent has to beg his fac
tory to give him all the help he thinks
he ought to have. The new Doris
plan will put each agent right up on
his toes to earn the maximum of fac
tory help instead of begging for the
minimum for he realizes he is being
backed To the limit.
The 1917 Doris Is certainly beau
tiful car and a worthy example of a
really high class car. IL Is conspicu-
GUS for all the unchanged features
OF the original Doris OF a dozen years
ago-unit power plant, valve in'head
motor, fan fly wheel, multiple disc
clutch platform spring suspension
principles later adopted by most OF
the other better grade American cars.
The Doris also typifies very defi..
mite refinement ir body lines, ana
about the last word in car comfort.
The fittings are superb.
II. O. Randel. Randel Motor Car
company of Tulsa, has secured dis
tribution for the entire state of Okla

have a complete line OF Doris cars

Dust Boy.

best place for Dust Boys" replied West

 The bookkeeper, Anton Comes, 56, has been with the company forty years and for years has made daily trips to the bank with the preceding days receipts.
 He was attacked one block from the Brewery office at 11:1O o'clock while on his way to catch a car to take money for deposit in the bank.
 Two of the bandits slugged him with billies and two others battered his head with beer bottles until he fell unconscious.
 Then they snatched from him a small black satchel which contained the money, ran around the corner to the waiting automobile and escaped

Railroad Men Discuss Pooling Plan

Washington, Nov 27.-Faced with the possibility of the government talk ing over wartime operation of the na- tion's railroads unless freight conges- tion on eastern lines speedily is reme- died, officials of the eastern carriers in conference here today with the railroad war board renewed their ef- forts to devise a pooling system that effectively will solve the problem.
 The pooling plan to be undertaken provides for the indiscriminate utili- zation of trackage and equipment of all eastern carriers in an attempt to eliminate the congestion which is hin- dering the country's war prepara- tions. All lines in the affected area will be operated as a single system under an agreement providing for pooling of profits. General control is to be vested in an administrative board of railroad executives.

HEALTH HEAD PLANS
 WAR ON PNEUMONIA
Supt. Moore to Wage Active Campaign This
 Winter.

By the introduction of new system of treating pneumonia Dr. Henry F. Moore, superintendent of health, plans to wage a strenuous campaign against the ravages of that disease in New Britain this winter. In outlining this system, Dr. Moore explains that pneu- monia is divided into four different kinds, known as type one, type two, type three and type four. In no case, however, can the doctor differentiate between the various types except by a meteorological examination in the laboratory or by biochemical means. Inasmuch as pneumonia is the result of a definite germ it is necessary to determine just what type affects the patient.
 About 32 per cent. of all pneumonia is due to type, one germ. About 31 per cent. is due to type two, 12 per cent to type three and "A per cent. to type four. The mortality in type one is from 2S to 30 per cent, type two, about 32 per cent, type three, 55 per cent, and type four, about 16 per cent. Thus, by determining the type of germ tho doctor is able to ascer- tain the chances of recovery of his patient and in the case of type one disease it has been found that the mortality has been cut down to 6 per cent. by the use of a special serum which is of value only in these cases.
 The diagnosis is made by putting tho sputum of the patient into the abdomen of white mouse where the germs grow so rapidly that they can be removed and differentiated. An other possible way of differentiatins is by urinealysis.
