Motor Boat ShOw Will
Portray War Industry

To make the public realize to what
an astonishing degree the motor boat
industry is aiding the government to
win the war is the aim Of the four
teenth annual National Motor Boat
Show to be held in the Grand Central
Palace, January 10 to 26. This big ex-
position, under the auspices Of the Ma
tional Association of Engine and Boat
Manufacturers, will open a few days
after the automobile show closes, and
comes at time when the eyes of the
American people are focused upon the
gasolene engine and its development
into warfare use--the "tank," the
tractor, the seaplane, aeroplane, sub
marine chaser. etc.
When the United States declared war
on Germany the motor boat industry
was not asleep by any means. 1t was
equipped to start right off with guam
tity production on government con-
tracts. It was ready to turn out no.
foot submarine chasers, motors and
other necessities in record time, and it
merely remained for the various fac
tories to engage more labor and install
more machinery to turn out greater
quantities. At present practically
every concern connected with the motor
boat or its accessory and parts indus
tries is at work on government con
! tracts, and those not yet at work con.

template undertaking contracts in the
very near future. The fortunate feat
ure of the industry, upon the entrance
of the United States into the conflict.
was that no great turnover or upheavai
of routine and plans was necessary. In
short, the industry knew where it was
at" and was able to proceed with gov
eminent work with greater smoothness
than probably any other branch of in-
dustry necessary to the war.
According to Ira Hand, secretary Of
exhibits not reaching the show in time,
for, realizing the railroad situation,
nearly all of the exhibitors began ship
ments two weeks ago, and as fast as
they arrive here they are being placed
in storage until such time as the
Grand Central Palace is available for
their installation. While many ex-
hihtors are manufacturing hulls for
hydroplanes and other equipment for
seaplanes, these products cannot be
shown. as the government will not
sanction it. However, there will be
enough products on display to make
the visitor fullv realize what a gigan-
tic work is being undertaken by the
motorboat industry in assisting TO get
the army and navy fit for fighting.
One of the features at the show
is the 1l0-foot concrete boat, the prop
erty of the National Portland Cement
Association. This is now being sent
from Chicago TO New York Oh a motor
truck over the roads.

Of Golf Daily
At Age of IS

PINEHURsT, N. c., Jan. 5.-Dwight
N. Clark, Of Woodbridge, Conn, dean
of the golfing corps Of the United
States, has arrived here on schedule
time and is playing daily over the No.
/ and No. courses. Mr.. Clark cele-
brated his eighty-eighth birthday at
Pinehurst in March last.
The veteran golfers anniversary
dinner has become quite an event at
Pinehurst, as Mr.. Clark has been COM
ing here ever since 1898 and has not
missed a season since 1902, sixteen
years ago.
Mr.. Clark took up golf when he was
mere youngster of seventy or there
abouts. and he plays better round
now than he did dozen years ago
He finished the first nine 1oles on the
difficult No. course in as toward the
end Of last season.
Some time ago he completed in 101
consecutive weekdays exactly 100
rounds Of eighteen holes each. Most o.
the bad weather that happened during
those particular four months occurred
on Sundays, when Mr.. Clark does no
play, and on only two Of the 1o1 week
days was the weather bad enough t,
hold him down to a 9-hole round.
Walter j. Travis once remarked tina
he knew of no other golfer of any
where near Mr.. Clark's years who coul

hear from the golf statisticians as t.
whether the grand old players record

by any other golfer of his age.

VERMONT BANKS COOPERATING
Are Doing Their Part Toward Increasing
Sale of u. S. War Stamps.

Vermont banks, both national anc
state, are operating spendidly in the
war savings stamp campaign and they
are pushing the sale of thrift stamps
and war savings stamps vigorously. Fully
one half of the banks of the state al
ready have the stamps on sale; and it is
Director Fred A. Howland's desire to en-,
j list the services of every bank in Yer.
mont in this patriotic movement, a
movement that is calculated to Tighten
| the financial burden of the national gov
eminent materially.
To that end he has addressed an APP
peal to every bank in the state, asking
them three questions: First If they al
ready have thrift and war savings
stamps on sale; tsecond) if, not having
them on sale, they do not plan to put
them on sale; and third, if there is any
objection from banking standpoint to
having them on sale. He has received
most encouraging responses and it seems
probable that the banks of Vermont will
be enlisted 100 per cent strong in the
great movement which is sweeping over
the country.
That the banks need have no fear of
competition from the war savings cam
paign is revealed by the experience OF
Great Britain in similar movement.
When the campaign in that country was
really started in January, 1915, there was
alarm on the part of many bank officials
for fear that the campaign would inter
fere seriously with their normal busi-
ness How groundless that fear proved
to be is told by Basil p, Blackett, c. b.,
of the British treasury, in the following
words. at is remarkable fact that in
spite OF the special attractions of the
war savings certificates, and of the large
sums-nearly 100000, 600 invested in
them, the savings campaign has given
an impetus to everyone of the older in
situations for encouraging savings, the
postoffice savings banks, the other saw
ings banks, the building societies and the
other cooperative societies, all show rec
ord increases in their deposits, and those
for them have in consequence
nearly all been hearty and valuable |
workers for the war savings movement, |
though at first their fear of competition |
to cause much difficulty
knowledge of the results in Great Brit |
ain strengthens the belief that the Unit
ed States war savings stamp campaign
will have a tendency to increase deposits
in the banks of Vermont because it will |
inculcate habits of thrift on the part OF
people who heretofore have never saved /
money.
