ONLY new YORKER
TO HEAD AUTOPLANT
ARENAS Ward, Ja., President
of Detroit Concern Which
Builds King Cars.
IS INDIVIDUALLY OWNED

ARENAS Ward, jr., Gothamite, is
the only real New Yorker, who is
today the head OF one OF the big, sue
ccssful automobile manufacturing
establishments of Detroit, he holding
the presidency Of the King Motor Car
company, manufacturers Of the pop
ular price eight-cylinder motor car.
The rise OF the New Yorker and
the tremendous success he has had
with the King Motor Car company,
gives him recognized credit through
out the automobile manufacturing in
dustry. The King Motor Car COM
pany, it is said, had the first auto
mobile that appeared on the streets
of Detroit in 1894 and it was from
this original King that Henry Ford
obtained his ideas that have made him
the worlds largest producer of motor
cars today. But the King Motor Car
company's greatest success has been
with the reins Of power in the hands
of Mr.. Ward.
SOLCkC 1iouhdtS.
Mr.. Ward was interested in politi-
cal and legal activities in New York
until one year before his father, Arte-
mas Ward, ST., purchased the King
Motor Car company. During that
year he was in California. In taking
over the King Motor Car company
Mr.. Ward, jr., became vice president
and went through all of the ramifica-
tionsof commercial life until today,
the head of this company, he has sur
rounded himself with capable execu-
tives and has placed the King in a
stronger position than it originally
held. The King Motor Car company
is one of the few automobile concerns
individually owned today without the
disadvantages Of multitude of stock.
holders to demand quick investment
returns and otherwise NEEDLE in the
affairs of the business. This in itself
has strongly contributed to the sue
cess of the King company.

ment of these ideas is very gratifying,
because it shows, we believe, that
the information obtained and the
opinions expressed by the committee
as to how an efficient life-saving de-
vice could be developed were correct.
THE life guard and apron are OF
woven wire, diamond-shaped mesh,
and are neat and ornamental in ap-
pearance. The life guard is suspend
ed from fiat spring hangers, giving
cushion effect in front of the car,
bus, or truck. The apron rests against
long coil springs, which also serve
as a cushion, that prevents solid i'm
pact when the fender strikes any
person,
when the trigger is released,
either manually or automatically, the
fender apron is instantly thrown
downward and backward to the pave

it impossible for person to pass un-
derneath it. 1t can be stated that

the mechanical construction of the
American safety fender and its &C
tual operation as tested on August
%, 1916, entities it to 100 per cent
efficiency.
THE tests were. made with three
dummies in standing and PROSTATE
positions. The truck was operated
at speeds from six to twelve miles
an hour, and the action of the fender
in picking up the dummies was salts
factory in every particular.
While the demonstration was
made on a truck instead Of a car, we
believe that conditions would be at
least as favorable for its operation on
a street car and that its adoption for
use. on street cars, as well as buses
and trucks, would be distinct ad-
vance in existing means for safe
guarding the lives and limbs of per-
sons who are struck or who come in

BAD EGG ARITHMETIC

More than one-sixth, II per cent,
of the annual egg output of Miss
ouri is lost thru carelessness. Ac-
cording to figures supplied by H. l..
Kempster, professor of poultry Hus-
bandry in the University Of Missouri
College of Agriculture. Missouri
hens produce 1882, 100000 eggs a
year. OF this number, II per cent
or 226,44O,OOO eggs are lost thru
spoilage and breakage. These $780,
44O, 900 eggs would weigh 28.3O5,0OO
and breakage. These 226.440,0Oo
eggs would weigh 28,3O5,OO0
pounds. They represent 141,525,O0O
pounds Of chicken feed and the out
put of 2,264,400 hens. If all the
eggs which are wasted in Missouri
were conserved, there would be one
extra egg for every man woman and
child in the state for every Sunday
and holiday in the year.
The loss from bad eggs comes
about because a single broken or
spoiled egg is not considered
great loss. In fact it is SO small that
it is hardly noticed from the average
farm, but it is The total Of these
broken and bad eggs which causes
an annual loss Of $5,661,000 when
eggs are selling at 80 cents dozen.
These bad and broken eggs not
only represent loss Of human food
but they represent q loss Of grain
and other feeds which the country
can i'll afford especially at this time
Of national food shortage. It is pro-
bable sthat similar losses occur each
year in other states.

From soon after daylight until
afternoon the Registration place has
been crowded with young men be-
tween the age of FL and 81 years
From all parts of the surrounding
territory these men and boys have
come to put down their names and
fill OFT the information blanks. 1t
has been regarded as surprising by
business men of Morgan City that
there were so many men of registra-
ton age in the community. The ex-
act number cannot be given but it
seems safe to state that compare
tive registration in every part of the
United States will show that it is pos
sible for this nation to call out ten
million Of registration age.

Ship Binding In The
Gulf Coast Section


in ninety days it is believed wooden
shipbuilding plants will dot the en-
tire Gulf Coast from Florida to
Texas. Contracts have just been let
Tor the construction in this section
of so of the nations greatest fleet
of wooden commerce carriers, while
scores of other contracts are pend
ing for the government.
Private interests, attracted by
high rates for tr .nsporting o.eaa
tonnage, are clamoring for ships
faster than existing yards can build
them. Not only must Europe be fed
and supplied with the implements of
war, but the Central and South
American trade is making insistent
call for more steamers and sailing
vessels.
Indication that the South's ad-
vantages for shipbuilding are at
tracing Eastern capital is found
in the official announcement that
government contract has just been
let to the Terry Shipbuilding Com
pany Of New York for twenty mer-
chant cargo steamers, Of approx
mately $500 tons each, to be built
at Moss Point, Miss. These vessels
Will be Of the composite" type,
built with steel frames and wooden
piankine.
The Merrill Stevens Company, of
Jacksonville, has also been authori-
zed to build twelve complete wooden
cargo-carrying steamships.
Many other government contracts
are pending in the Gulf district, it
being planned, if satisfactory ar
engagements can be made, to build
ships at Morgan City, La; Houston,
Texas; Beaumont, Texas City and
Port Arthur, Galveston, and Orange;
Biloxi; jacksonville, Slidell and
elsewhere.
Shipbuilding for private interest
is equally as active as that for the
government. Two auxiliary
schooners have been completed at
Orange, Texas, two others are on
the ways, and 40 more are expected
to be turned out within the next
year and half.
Beaumont and Port Arthur, Tex
as, are scenes of much work on
marine ways, half a dozen shipbuild |
ing companies having been organi-
zed at these two places within the
past few days. Ships yards are also
activity engaged or contemplated at
Millville, Fla; Bagdad, Fla; Slidell,
La; Savannah, Ca; Mobile, Ala. i
Biloxi, Miss; jacksonville, La. !; Lake
Charles, La; New Orleans, La; /
Helena, Ark; and elsewhere.
The close proximity to the Gulf re-
gion Of abundant forests of Southern
pine; mild climate, which permits out
door work throughout the year, un-
hindered by snow and ice; and the
fact that here the best and cheapest
supply of labor in the country may
be found, combine with other adj
vantages to give this section an OPP
portunity to build up a great ship
building industry which will in
future prove an important factor in !
the permanent prosperity of the
South.

AMERICAN RED CROSS SAY

In order that the relief wor.;
which is undoubtedly ahead OF us
should be made thoroughly efficient
Il il most desirable that it should be
co-ordinated and concentrated under
one organization.
Recognizing this fact, Congress
Incorporated the American Red
Cross "to furnish volunteer aid to
the sick and wounded of armies in
time of war and for said purposes
to perform all the duties devOlved
upon a national society by each ma
ton which has accepted the treaty
Of Geneva, to act in matters OF
voluntary relief and in accord with
the military and naval authorities as
q medium of communication be-
tween the people of the United
States Of America and their Army
and Navy"
Having thus been made the Off
cial volunteer aid organization of
the United States, the American
Red Cross comes under the protec-
ton Of the treaty Of Geneva and has
received due recognition from all
foreign governments. Its status both
1t home and abroad is thus definite
y determined and assured.
The Surgeons General Of the
War and Navy Department are
members Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the American Red Cross.
By Act of Congress medical officers
u both branches Of the service are
detailed for service with it in order
that it, military relief may be %
pEsanized - best to supplement the
zssdicil services Of our fighting
forces.
The civilian relief il under q
tzsined and experienced personel
especially fitted to care for soldiers
4u1iliAs and other non-combatants.
N accounts Of the Association are
ssditsd BY the War Department in
1gdsr thoroughly to safeguard the
funds contributed BY the public.
Recent experience has made it
more clear than ever that q multi
ylicity Of relief agencies tends to
bring about confusion, duplication,
delay and waste. Moreover, It az
3ords temptations to dishonest per
sons to take advantage Of the gener-
y Willingness Of the public to sub
scribe to such agencies to defraud
subscribers and rob the soldier Of
the assistance he 80 much needs.
Wherever in the present war suffi-
Gent volunteer aid has been render
cd, either to soldiers or non-comba-
tants i certainly the most convinc-
ing teacher and we should learn BY
these European examples how to
conduct our own relief work with
the most thorough efficiency and
system. With its catholicity and it,
democracy the Red Cross Is broad
enough to embrace all efforts for
the relief work Of our soldiers and
sailon, the care Of their families
and for the assistance OF any non
combatant who may require aid.
A. the President Of the American
Red Cross, orr branch Of the great
international organization, / most
earnestly commend il to your con-
fidence and your support. Upon
