Kunz, the famous New York gem expert, geologist etos and retiring vice president of Cha American Association for the Ada vnncement of Science told the aBsOcl- ation at it's convention in New York that for national defense purposes thG entire population of the United Statea should be catalogued and the men classified according to their various abilities or adaptation under the let ters A, B, c. D. etc, showing their ilt- ness for their various vacations ac- cording to per centage up tO 100. Au examination of these men should be
 made two, three or four times year so that one could judge in the case or a ditch digger, a mechanic, solder or whatever the other vocation might beLwhether the man was at a 20. 80. 50 or 100 per cent standard. This need not involve heavy expense. The mon could be weighed, their temperature taken, their eyes examined and summary judgment formed Of fneir actual health.

WOMAN OUTCuESSES
 MEN 0N AUTO RUN

A woman outguessed all the men as to how long the Dodge Brothers motor car would run at Macarthur Brothers used car mart Saturday.
 An unknown quantity of gas. as far as the public was concerned was put in the tank of the car which was started in a circle without driver and every one invited to guess how long it would
 run, the winner receiving a. Goodyear tire kit. There was a good deal of fig uring done, in trying to arrive at some mathematical conclusion, one man even counting how many times the car cov-
 cred the circle in an hour and making inquiries as to how many miles a Dodge would so on the gallon of gas but it was q woman, Mrs. Axeline of 715 N. 11th St. who won. for she guessed the time to the minute, the car stopping at 4:01 D. m, running five hours and one minute on gallons of
 gas. Six others came within four min utes of exact time and four guessed
 within one minute.
 One humorist wrote on his guess 1 that the car would stop when the gas gave out" and demanded the prize | Willard Lyngar. under whose super ! vision the contest was held, states that 1 he will give this man a chance to guess l again next Saturday.

ENCLOSED
 CARS RECEIVED

When the first word went out among tofd dealers that the company would Ill orders for the two new enclosed fords in the rotation in which they were received, a single order or two was placed by the average dealers, but Id Rudolph, with his character lstlc aggressiveness and foresight 1 placed an order for an entire carload or both models, the five passenger se- dan and the two-passenger coupelet, and he is happy just now in the ex- pectation of receiving seven sedans in a shipment due to arrive Monday. These enclosed models have been found to amply justify the Ford com panys promise of being first-c class in appointments-grace and beauty in every llne-and builded upon the su- perb qualities of the Ford vanadium steel chassis, at Ford prices.
 MT Rudolph finds a large demand for the comforts, the conveniences and snug coziness of these trim enclosed cars. The sedan is deeply and most comfortably upholstered with cloth of the best quality. There is satisfying Luxury in every detail Of the spacious interior.
 The sedan is a most desirable car Tor every day of the year-just as en- JoSdple III flolng qualltleS Tn the win ter when it fully shelters the passen- ger rom the cold storms-as it is pleasant in the summer, when, with windows wide open to the breeze. the occupants are thoroughly protected from the heat and sun.

WOMAN PREFERRED re LIN
 SKILLED MAN
u N

If there is now a question 1 etween taking on a woman or an unskilled man. the employer has no hesitation at all.
 .''rhe woman has been found to be a better and more conscientious worker than the unskilled man; at least, the type of unslxilled man that is available in our country now. And the woman has been found better able to acquire skill rapidly. On skilled work, when it is a comparison between woman and a fully qualified mechanic, one cannot, of course, expect the woman to be so valuable an asset as man who has been four or five years at his trade. But now the only skilled men we can scrape out of the less irlportant munition factories are of so poor a quality that it is not uncommon for an employer who requires extra staff to take on women and train them
