The Advertising Mems Republican league, a national organization of over 1000 members, all of whom are advertising writers, has offered to President Wilson and the Army and Navy Departments the services of it's members without pay to prepare such advertisements or literature as may assist the Army and Navy Depart ments in recruiting.
 The following telegram was sent to President Wilson after a meeting of , the Executive Committee of the Ad- vertfsing Mems Republican league: "The Advertising Mems Republican league. national organization of ap- proximately 1000 advertising men send you this telegram to emphasize their approval of your action, to pray with you that actual war may be averted with honor and to pledge te, you In case war is necessary their loyal support.

The automobile long since ceased to be novelty. In the days when it was new and more or less untried, people naturally focked to see it because of it's very newness.
 To-day all that is changed. At tendances are recOrd-breakers-a figures prove. I believe that most of those who pay admissions to the shows nowadays are either owners of cars, or expect to become owners They have a sincere desire to see what improvements have been made, to compare constructions and to put their own interpretations on assehbl- ed values. They can do so with more ease, and in less time-and at the same time see more-than in visiting a dozen different salesrooms.
 s'The solidity and the growth of the public's interest is evidenced by an- other thing. This is the number of shows in the smaller cities. Almost every city now has it's automobile show"

BY RUSSELL HUFF, Chief Engineer, Dodge Brothers.


 Reliability, comfort and low main tenance cost are some of the prime requisites in the popular motor car of to-day. The discriminating buyer demands these results. They can be obtained only by standardization and improvement of details.
 Without question there has been an advance in the art of automobile con- struction during the past year.
 The exacting demands of the pros- pective purchaser have been antici- pated in the Dodge Brothers Motor Car, for instance, by the perfection of details in. a carefully standardized type of construction. Years were spent in studying the field and in en- gineering development before the first car was put on the market.
 No step in the production of the Dodge Brothers car or improvement in it, is made without considering first the question of reliability. The four-cylinder motor was adopted be- cause of it's simplicity and reliability. The fewer and more sturdy the parts, the less annoyance to the owner in the long run.
 The simplicity of the ignition, lub- ricating and cooling systems in a four insure a positive operation. Ac- feasibility of all motor parts for in spection and care increase the cars efficiency. The dry plate clutch, faced with non-burning asbestos material, l, IA inch brakes, Timken roller tear ings in all wheels, direct connected and powerful starting system. fully enclosed universal joint and drive to differential, and all transmission parts provided with a high factor of safety,

DRIVERS EASE A FEATURE OF THE
 CADILLAC EIGHT
Cars Responsiveness to Steering and Brakes Robs Long Trips of Fatigue.

Much has been said and with full justihcation--about the charms which the Cadillac eight-cylinder en- zine has contributed to motoring, but other noteworthy features of the cars operation and control have com manded almost equal attention" is the view expressed by B. c. Howard Cadillac sales manager.
 "There is much in the wonderful smoothness of the motor, it's quick pickup and fexibility, and it's re- naarkable work on the hills. Owners have experienced these qualities to their hearts content, and found them even more than they had been led to expect. But along with them. they have discovered other good points , hich are important in the operation of a motor car anywhere, and espe- cially in touring.
 'eWhen a man drives from a hun. dred to two hundred miles for a days run, he naturally will feel consider.

able strain if constant effort is re- quired to steer the car and keep it in the road. The Cadillac Eight has be- come noted for the ease with which 1t handles in these two respects. A gentle influence on the steering wheel guides the car, and it holds the road with practically no effort On the driv- er's part.
 Then the clutch releases easily. and it engages with marked softness. The brakes are manipulated scores of times day without muscle-strain, and without material exertion to get full effectiveness. Hardly more than a gentle pressure of the foot puts the brakes 'on.' either lightly or firmly as circumstances demand.
 Such things make long drive a pleasure, because they prevent most of the strain and fatigue of long, distance driving. And such qualities are not so common that they can be regarded lightly by men who like touring, either behind the steering wheel or in the comfort of a tonnean seat"

Washington, D. C., Feb. 20.-A steady decrease since 1885 in the pro- portion of convicts in the United States employed in miscellaneous work under lease and contract and a marked increase in the proportion employed for the benefit of the state on highways and other public works are shown in statistics just published by the Office of Public Roads and Ru- ral Engineering of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. These statistics are included in Department Bulletin 414, a professional paper, which re- ports one of the first exhaustive stu dies made in this country covering the administrative, engineering, eco- homie disciplinary, and health condi- tions in convict road camps. Repre- sentatives of the U. s. Public Health Service co-operated with the special ists of the Department of Agriculture in making the studies. The systems adopted by the several states are dis cussed and recommendations are made for the achievement of greater efficiency in operation of the convict camps and conduct of the road work.
 The systems of convict labor are classified in the report as lease, con tract, and piece-price systems, under which the labor of the convicts is for the benefit of private individuals or corporations often in the manufac- ture of commodities: the public-ac- count system, under which the convict made goods are sold by the state; the state-use system. under which goods are manufactured only for use in state institutions; and the public works and ways system, under which
 the labor of the convicts is devoted
 to- public structure and roads. The
 latter system has grown in popular ity, it is pointed out, because it makes

WOMEN SKILLED

Employed at Many Tasks in ChaI.
 mcrS Factory.

- With American illustrated week. lies reproducing photogra phs of wo- men at work in the munition plants of Great Britain it has probably never occurred to the average reader that women have for some time past occupied much the same position in many of Uncle Sam's factories.
 At the plant of the Chalmers Motor Co. in Detroit, women are employed at many tasks heretofore delegated exclusively to, male employees. And they are not merely earning mems wages. They have proven to the sat- isfaction of the factory heads that they are more tpainstaking and efa- cient in every way.
 Starting in the top department. where the work of cutting and sew ing materials for the tops and side curtains was exactly suited in their nature, the use of female help has spread to a half dozen other depart mentsl Everywhere the result has been the same-increased efficiency and greater output.

In addition to light weight con- struction, maintenance costs are re- duced to the minimum by the use or the highly efficient four-cylinder mo- tor In the racing car profession, where the last word in economy, pow CT and light weight is desired, four cylinder motors stand practically alone. Many years of engineering de- velopment have failed to rob the four cylinder motor of its reputation for light weight, reliability, power. acceleration, easy starting, easy cool ing and high fuel economy. Low run ming expenses in the case of the Dodge Brothers Motor Cars are fur ther assured by the use of large bear ings throughout, strong transmission parts, renewable bushings, sturdy fender construction and durable ena- mel finish.

LOW MAINTENANCE COST AND RELIABILITY, ARE FACTORS IN
 THE DODGE BROTHERS CARS
Standardization and Improvements of Details Meet All Demands of the Discriminating Buyer-Comfort and Smartness Are Combined in Models for 1917.

further insure reliability of action in the Dodge Brothers Motor Go.
 Dodge Brothers early realized the importance of comfort in motor car construction and exercised especial care in selecting a springs suspension which would give 8 pleasant ride. Deep upholstering with low seat cushions and slanting backs add much to the occupants satisfaction. Smooth and quiet motor action, easy steering, short turning radius, equal ized brakes, silent starter and plenty of reserve power, are more of the distinctive features in the Dodge Brothers car which have been care fully worked out to give the owner the maximum of comfort.
 Low first cost does not always in- dicate low maintenance cost. In the Dodge Brothers Car, however, the purchaser secures the combined ad- vantage of a low first cost and a low maintenance cost. Many things pe- culiar to the design and construction make possible an unusually low main tenance cost. Light weight, insuring long tire mileage, is obtained by the extensive use of Chrome vanadium al- Joy steels Long time contracts for these steels and other high grade ma terials, as we'll as the returns brought by an article of assured quality, have enabled Dodge Brothers to continue manufacturing 8 car made from su- perior materials without increasing their prices. It is a significant fact that these contracts were made before the war; me stability and foresight of the Dodge Brothers, therefore. pre- cludes the necessity of substituting ing inferior carbon stee!s for the alloy steels in order to keep down the cost

use of the convict labor with a n1ini- mum of competition with free labor, montributes fairly lasting benefits to the whole cofnnunity, affords health full and even somewhat reformative employment to the convicts, and re- duced congestion in penal institutions.
 The most satisfactory use of the system, in the opinion of the Depart ment's road specialists, is under state rather than county administration. Since 1885, the report shows, the per- centage of convicts in a large number of representative institutions working under the public-account state-use, and public works and ways systems, has increased from 33 to 80 per cent. while the proportion engaged in road work alone has increased from 13 per cent. to nearly 13 per cent
 Convicts should not be indiscrimin- ately put to work on roads it is point ed out. Only those who are physical ly fit for the work should be employ ed. It may be even desirable and practicable in many instances to re- serve assignment to the .open-air work as reward for good behavior. Physically and by former mode of life, statistics cited in the report show. about three-fourths of the aver age male prison population is better fitted for outdoor labor than for shop work. In practice, when all considerations are taken into account, 1t has been found that from 25 to 50 per cent. of the male inmates or pris- ons are available for road work.
 The employment of state convicts In road making, the report shows, nrst became general In the South in tne early n1net1es. Such use of state convlcts has been made by Northern ana western states, however, mostly during the last ten vars.

Increasing Interest
 In Automobile Shows
Chicago Exhibit, by Attendance and Enthusiasm Recorded, Confirms
 New York Impression

Tn the view of E. c. Howard, sales manager of the Cadillac Motor Car company, public interest in the auto mobile shows increases from year to year. In the attendance at the Chi cago Show, just closed, and in the enthusiasm displayed he finds the evidence to confirm his impression re- ceived at the New York Show.
