A. NJ. Dean. More than two years ago
he began working out his four-cylindcr
gasolene engine. At a test made in
the shops of the Ferro Machine and
Foundry Company the power curve
showed straight line from 400 to
1900 revolutions minute, and reached
a maximum of 43 horsepower at 2,100
revolutions on the dynamometer. In
view of its piston displacement of
1868 cubic inches, 3$sinch bore by
51a-inch stroke, the result of the test
was considered remarkable.

Motor Car Market
Shifting Its Base

cts an i'll wind that blows no one
good. The aggressive dealer who six
months ago thought his time had come
is now reaping the industrial benefits
of the unfortunate circumstances
which upset the organization of the
country and threatened to ruin his
business" says w. b. Riley, sales man
ager, Jordan Motor Car Company
"Thc working class Of people are
making more money than they ever
made before, while the farmer, with
production of S26,5oO 100000, which is
nearly. seven billions more than last
years production, is deriving about 100
per cent profit.
"Such conditions. of course, have
brought about a marked change in the
location Of ready money The man
who formerly had a great deal and has
bought many Liberty bonds is now pay
ing higher discount and is paying
more for tho luXuries which he for
merly enjoyed and has less to spend
for them. But his place is being taken
by the farmer and the worker, Who arc
bcnctitlng by the large expenditures of
money by the government and spend
ing their surplus for the luxuries for
merly denied them
"Hence new and virgin class of buy
crs has emerged from the usual condi-
tions Of war times. At first the dealer
was bit confused, because the people
who formerly had the money to BUY
hesitated and the new class Of BUYERS
had not yet made itself felt. He was
startled at the aspect of Jones, who
llVcs on the Avenue, conserving, while
Smith, who works on the farm, was
just beginning to look around for his
car. And when Smith bought it was
either good low priced car or a better
car in the upper medium priced class,
There is nothing so inspiring to the
dealer as to contemplate the opening
up of a new field for selling. The trad
ing situation is rapidly improving, not
only tor this reason but because the
manufacturer is now limiting his pro-
duction to take care of his own govern.
ment orders.
"Anothcr improvement that has
given the dealer cons iderable encour
agemcnt is the longer profit on each
car he sells. While all cars aye gone
has remained the same, so that, al
though his sales are fewer, he realizes
a greater profit on each unit, and il
he trades intellgently he will make
a better profit in the end.
at is true, of course, that some deal
ers. encouraged by large quantity sales
have built up large service depart
ments, and have engaged expensive
salesrooms on the principal avenues O
the big cities. These distributors will
merely have to adopt the same policy
as that which is being adopted by tn,
most widely experienced of the manu-
facturers. They will reduce thei
overhead and encourage the manufac
turer if he is 20 get higher price, t,
make the car more attractive so as t,
warrant the price"

Business and professional men,
through the saving of time which the
automobile makes possible over any
other means of transportation, are able
to do moro work in shorter time and
with less expenditure of energy. The
unlimited power Of the automobile and
it's flexibility in crowded streets enable
owners to cover three blocks in the
same space of time it used to take to
cover one. This economy of time has
in many instances made possible men
having a multitude of interests, due to
doubling the number Of minutes in
their working hours.
"This is what the automobile has
done for business men and women. |

years to the fact that people have been
able, through the automobile, to ac-
complish more in a shorter period of
time, as the growth of any concern or
city depends upon the activities Of its
employees or population.
"The operation of the automobile has
been reduced to such simplicity that it
is easy for women to drive. Women
and girls, as we'll as elderly people, sit
behiHd the wheel of the family car.
Heretofore the wife had to do her shop
ping either on foot or trust to the un-
certainty of public conveyances. To-
day she can accomplish nearly twice as
much and traverse nearly twice the dis
tance in her automobile.

War Review

The defeat administered in Fland-
ers by the combined British and
French forces has compelled the
Germans to resort TO another
breathing spell
Opening the battle early yester-
day with an intense hombardment
on practically the entire nortnern
front, the Germans hacked and buf-
feted the allied positions until far
that the night. The British moving
down wave after wave of the at
tacking forces refused to give an
inch when the infantry was thrust
forward on the ten mile line be-
tween Meteren and zellebeke. The
French were forced to give some
ground around Locre but regained
It in counter attacks.
Bombardfent of British positions
between Arras and Lens yesterday
which was conducted simultaneous
~ with the cannonading in Fiand-
ers, failed to develop any infantry
action The allies appear to retain
the initiative in Ficardy as is shown
by Haig's report that the British
advanced their positions slightly
east of Villers Bretonneux.
Haig's announcement today that
the northern battle front was COM
paratively quiet showed that the
most desperate assault ATTEMPTED
by the Germans in several days has
