At Peace or at War,
We Need the Automobile

1T is next to impossible to predict
what after-war conditions will do to
BUSINESS, but it is almost safe to
conjecture the steady growth of the
automobile industry.
"The worldwide Importance of the
United States in the production of
automobiles is not realized by Amer
ica," says Mr.. Baker. salesmanager
for the Miller Auto Company. local
distributors of the Oldsmobile.
ITO carry on the war, all govern
ments have found the automobile of
inestimable value. During the wars
continuation. automobile manufac-
turers will be, called upon for ma
chimes for various uses. In the trans
=. .portation of troops, ammunition, sup
Splies and in the ambulance and hos
Dital service, the automobile stands
without an equal.
"On account of its war need. ii is
not likely that the Government will
commander the automobile factories
resort. Our Government is so situ-
ated that it may not have to take the
factories off of automobile production
at all.
Recent reports show that the Unit
ed States has about six times more
automobiles than all the other parts
of the globe put together. In Janu-
airy, 1916. New York was the only
state recorded with 100000 cars. Now
there are seven states so recorded
The first six months of 1917 saw an
increase of 100000 automobiles in
the United States alone.
These figures will give you an
idea of the Importance of the auto
mobile in our own country. This in
crease too, at the time when our
country faced war and when our
people were serious in all their IN
vestments.
"If the automobile serves well dur
ing the war, how much more VIII pc
its demand with the rebuilding from
the effects of the war. on the scenes
of battle there will be fields to pre-
pare again for habitation, towns to
be rebuilt, railroads to be made, IN
fact land that has been practically
made wasteland will have to be re-
claimed. Tractors, trucks and tour
ing cars for transportation of work.
ingmen will be needed in quantities.
The foreign automobile are practi-
cally all engaged in the manufacture
of war materials. The need for au-
tomobiles will be so urgent that the
United States, with automobile fac
tories ready and able to manufacture
without delay, will be expected to
fill this need.
There will be other demands, too,
for material of all kinds to be sent
abroad. And with a true American
spirit, our own business is to be kept
prosperous during the war and after
more business.
gfrrt t- Ytr1a-
ing to completion the two large addi-
tions to their factory. With a de-
mand that now taxes their output,
they anticipate great impetus to
the automobile world with the close
of the war"

record for speed in crossing the con-
tinent, and many stops were made
and side trips taken. The tour was
an outing by the party without any
effort to save money in fuel or gar
age expense. The Coopers went TO
Pixies Peak and visited Yellowstone
Park. q
One incident that will long be re-
membered happened in Nevada. The
party was encamped near the road
in field and were asleep. During
the night one of the farmers in the
nefghborhod turned the water loose
from an irrigation ditch and allowed
the water to run to the. camp and
drench the sleepers. This was the
only unpleasant feature of the entire
trip.
The Maxwell Sedan is an ideal car
to travel a long distance in and ans
wers every purpose according to Mr..
Cooper. who owns several larger and
more expensive motorcars.
II picked the Maxwell because I
knew that on this trip 1t would get
me where 1 wanted to go in the
least trouble and expense" declared
Mr.. Cooper after reaching San Fran
cisco.
There was no sign of trouble with
the car from the start to finish. Our
bill for repairs and storage was only
S3056, so the trip in reality. didn't
cost as much as If we had Travelled
by train. Besides that, there is a
great advantage in enjoying the open

How Lower Steel Prices
Will Affect Auto Trade

Recent government action, result
ing in reduction in steel prices, will
not have any effect on automobile
prices for at least several months,
is the opinion of John N. Willys, head
Of Willys-Overland Inc, of Toledo,
Ohio.
Mr.. Willys gave his answer rather
reluctantly. He explained that the
uncertainty of existing conditions
makes it well nigh impossible to ac-
curately forecast the future.
With conditions as rney are at
present" said Mr.. WHY'S 1T is nat
urally difficult to look very far into
the future. 1t is my personal belief,
that the lowering of the price of
steel will have no effect in the near
future on the price of automobiles.
1t probably will be a long time be-
fore automobile anufacturers will be
steel.
"Other commodities necessary in
the manufacture of automobiles are
continually going up in price. Steel
is only one of many elements enter
ing into the construction of the mo-
tor car, therefore a decrease in it's
price alone will not counterbalance
the soaring cost of other materials
For example, tires are more ex-
pensive, due to rubber and cotton be-
ing higher as well as because of the
tire manufacturers inability to Sc
cure sufficient fabric. Besides the
tires, we must consider the high cost
Of leather, upholstering material,
many OF the accessories, paint and
almost countless other essentials.
In other words, the increased cost
OF other essentials are more than
offsetting the reduced cost of steeel.
We are inclined to believe there will
be an upward tendency in automo-
bile prices rather than lower ten
dency"

Maxwell Sedan Makes
TranscontinentaI Run

Cross-country trips have been made
in all sorts of cars. but this is a new
one-a trip made in a type of car
supposed to be used only for travel
about town and to the theater and
the dance.
f. w. Cooper, a retired real estate
dealer of Revere. Mass, with his wife
and A. L. Hall, of Winthrop. Mass.
travelled across the United States in
Boston, June 6. and made the trip in
leisurely fashion at low cost and
without any car trouble.
The sedan was used as a base camp
and whenever a stop was made the car
was the travellers home. n complete
camping outfit was carried and the
members. of the party made the trip
in rhE luxurious comfort, n,1roa o,z o,l-
Ions of gasoline, which. cost
sS7 and used two sets OF tires,
which cost $215;24. The cost of stor-
ing the car and repairs amounted to
S30.56. The highest price paid for
gasoline was in Nevada, where fuel
was purchased for 40 cents a gallon.
The Coopers made the trip by way
of New York, Buffalo. Chicago, and
then to Denver and Ogden, then to
Salt Lake City and Reno. They drove
by Emerald Bay and to San Fran
cisco.
The roads east of Ogden were
found to be in good shape for the
most part, and from Omaha to Den

COURSE OF WORK
RULING is GIVEN
Commissioner on Compensa-
ton Board States Just What
Is Meant by That Phrase

a new >ruling regarding the time
when an employe may be held to
have abandoned the course of his
work is made by the State Compen-
sation Board in granting a new
hearing in the claim of Dubinick
VS.. susquehanna Coal Company. The
man upon whose death the claim is
based died from results of a burn
or scald while warming his feet.
The board says: TT is only when
the injury occurs before or after the
beginning or end of the working day
or during some definite interval dur
ing which by the terms of his en-
ployment the employe is released
from any obligation to work for his
employer, that it Is necessary for
an cmploye to prove that his pres
ence upon the premises was required
by the nature of his employment and
that his injuries were caused by the
condition of the premises or the OPP
Grafton of the employers business
or affairs thereon. Where an en-
ploye is injured during working
hours while at or near the nlace
where his work is 70 De done, it is
perhaps not too much to say that
there arises a presumption that such
employe was engaged IN the further
ance of his employers business. Il
presumption which can be rebutted
only by proof that an employe had
definitely turned his pack upon his
employers service and was devoting
a part of the working time to which
his employer was entitled to the per-
formance of some purely private emo
of his own"
Permanent disability is decided in
q Pittsburgh case to be a reason for
change of an order. The man in
the case suffered injury to a hand,
tried to work, but was dismissed by
his employer, subsequently failing to
secure steady work with other per-
sons.
