AUTO SHOW HAS NO' ROOM FOR PESS|M|ST
New Models Give Appear ance of Being Stripped
 for Action

Teleeranhic reports received by c. A Kissal president of the Kissel Motor Car companv. from the New York kis- sel distributor. indicate that the lsls automobile show will prove waiiop that business pessimists will never get over.
 It reads: Never has such genuine interest and enthusiasm been displayed at any of the previous national auto mobile shows before. Not only was the old show spirit stronger in evidence, but the atmosphere was one or supreme confidence. Everyb ody acted as II 1t was his show and turned on the pep to prove it.
 "The outstanding feature at yester- days opening was the optimism dls- played by not only prospective puyers' but by visiting dealers. The air was charged with expectancy, as if every hodv- realizing the part the automo- bile is playing in the life and work or the nation, looked eagerly forward to the new models-as if they expected still greater improvements that would insure added utility, efficiency ana economy.
 Nor were they disappointed. The au- tomobile industry has again come to the front with a bang that VIII De heard around the world. The manufac- turers-big men used to doing big things in big way, men who recog- nize that anything can be done II hard enough efforts are expended-have so perfected the new models that without a doubt they represent the highest de- velopment the automobile has ever been brought to.
 Clean of limb, sleek as greyhound, they give the impression Of being stripped for action Yet on close in- spection, comfort is very much in evil dence, due to those features that, while giving a distinctive look, are in reality efficiency features that insure added comfort and utility
 No wonder the visitors yesterday were enthusiastic. With such evidence of business as usual with such proof that the auto industry is going right ahead, pessimists had only one thing to do-disappear for good or turn opti- mists
 "The dealers realize also that now is the time for optimism and that with the new models and cooperation of the industry never before have they been offered such an opportunity to become a part and parcel of their local business world. By so doing they will render their communities a serivce that will prove vital to the business and in- dustrial supremacy of their community and state."

SYSTEM CAN
 BE APPLIED ID AUTO
Automobiles Similar to Body-PrOper Treatment Will Keep Either in
 Condition

Lay out plans for your motor car as you do for your days work; if you want it to run as smoothly" is a suggestion Of R. c. Rueschaw, vice president of the Mitchell Motors ccompany Qnc) of Ra- cine. Wis
 You can be as systematic with your motor car as with matters about your of flee. The modern business man keeps his records and correspondence in such a way that he can lay his hands on what he wants when he wants it.
 Why not use the same head work about motor car? When the occasion arises to adjust some small part of the engine much time can be saved by a lit tie thoughtful study just where the trou- ble lies instead of tinkering with every part of the engine or transmission.
 The man who keeps a messy desk or office is generally the man whose car runs just the way his desk looks. If one would stop to think minute a motor car is very similar to the human body. If a person gets plenty of sleep, eats regu- larly and takes enough exercise he gets in return good health and the ability to do more work. The same is true of an automobile. If it is given oil at the proper time, gas at the proper tune, ana unnecessary racing of the engine is elim- inated it will perform in a like manner.
 At this time when every minute counts, motor car owners should bear this in mind. Business men no longer look at their car as a pleasure car, but as a necessary asset. It is magic wand as effective as Ten League Boots which makes short cuts to more work and should be used as such. The motor car car add half a days work to what man formerly did in a day.
 He can call on more people in a shorter space of time during business hours. He can spend more time at home with his family, and thus condition him self for the next days tasks. Use your motor car as nerve stimulant, and mind clarifier A short ride in the open air will do more to sweep the cobwebs out of your brain than anything else placed at mans command"

MEN FROM CAMP DODGE BROUGHT
 HOME BY VELIE
Many Homes Cheered Christmas Morning by Unexpected Visits. Moline Homes Not Affected
 by Ruling

When the war department first made it's ruling that soldiers could not travel on trains during the Christmas season, there was keen disappointment in thou. sands of homes all over the country.
 W. L. yeile president of the yelie Mo- tors corporation at Moline, Ill, imme- diately came forward and offered to bring home all Moline poys within reach entirely at his own personal expense, using as many Nelie cars as necessary for the purpose.
 A big 30-passenger bus and many tour ing cars from the Velie factory went to Des Moines la, where Camp Dodge is located, and brought the Moline boys back in a. glorious trip, Farmers and townspeople turned out along the route and greeted the caravan with great en- thusiasm.
 After a Christmas day in the many homes so unexpectedly made happy, the boys were returned safely and promptly to their military life. grateful to the man who brought pleasure to so many.

Successful People Are SaDlng People e-A mericd's
 Greatest Need Is Thrift
The Great Stamina of Germany in the War Is Attributed Largely to This Trait-Each Employe of Great Con-
 Receives a Bank Book for Christmas

Again, the average amount deposited per inhabitant is in Germany s70.26, as against only $49.o5 in this country.
 'So it can be plainly seen that the saving habit must be inculcated in the minds of the American people to hasten the successful end of the war.
 COUNTRY NEEDS SAVERS
 But with our nation involved in this war, with every man, woman and child enlisted in the fight, with hundreds of thousands of our boys in the trenches, with food conservation an immediate need, with the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other valuable organizations needing funds and supplies. it is neces- sary to save-save-save!
 The companys one underlying thought in putting these books in the hands of our employees is that the orig inal deposit may swell many fold, that every employe will realize more than the value of saving, thus becoming bet ter American.
 BANK BOOK IS SEED
 ''The bank book is the seed of all thrift From this source have come the mighty billions of the liberty loans, the mercy millions of the Red Cross, the man-making millions of the Y. M. C. A..
 Tt is my hope that every book of the thousands given today shall be a mighty help to the spirit of savnig and the practice of thrift"

 IN COAL SHORTAGE

The automobile is nowadays proving itself very much of an essential, not only in every day conventional use, but in unexpect- ed and revolutionary ways.
 Last week, both the factories of the Dort Motor Car company and the Walker-Weiss Axle company at Flint, Mich., faced temporary shutdown on account of shortage of coal. To avaid it several Dort chasses were mustered into serv- ice, the power of their sturdy mo- tors harnessed and for two or three days both factories con- tinued in operation without coal.

LIVE MARKET AND
 REDUCED OUTPUT
 PRE,SHOW OPINION
Dealers Declare That Sales Can Be Made Without Eff fOrt-Market in South
 Wide Open

Motor car manufacturers and dealers arriving in New York during tho last week for the opening of the national au- tomobile show Saturday, voiced but one regret, and as to that they were in unan- imous accord.
 ALL WANT CARS
 The one regret was the certainty of reduced 1918 car production in the face of a live market. From the west, the northwest and the south particularly. men accustomed to counting correctly the pulse of the trade, predicted demand for cars quite equal to the rosiest years of the past.
 Even eastern men reported many good signs. One, distributor of Dort cars in upper New England, said he was ready to contract for double the output the factory would allow him. That's nothing" said his friend from Texas, also a Dort distributor "Td take three times as many as they will give me-
 These are typical remarks from pre- show talk heard on every hand regard- ing conditions. The answer, it is de- clared, is that automobiles are indispen- sable to the transportation requirements of the country. Business could not be carried on with the same speed and effi- cheney without them, the automobile men say. Even though it were possible to return to the days when trafflc was measured by the ground covering ca pacity of horses it would be uneconomi- cal to do so. Horses consume valuable foodstuffs. Cars run on gasoline, Of which there Is an ample supply.
 WIN THE WAR BY SPEED
 Speed, 1t is argued, is necessary in or der to end the war quckly-not only speed in strictly military preparation and movement. but also in all walks of civil life. Individual civilians contribute to the success of the war in just the measure that they are personally alert. active and efficient. Efficiency is largely d matter of time and no agency saves so much time as the passenger automo- bile.
 This Is the drift of expression at tho New York show.

PROPHECY OF WAR FILM IS REALIZED
 SAYS BROWNELL
More Than 25OO of Detroit Concerns Cars Serving in
 United States Army

Two years ago, when a motion pie ture film known as The Motor Car in Defense of the Nation" made the rounds of the country, few persons considered it probable that the pres ent day would see the theme so com pletely realized in actual life Even the producers, in closing the picture with the statement that a compact or ganization of motor vehicles would prove to be of inestimable value in time of war" scarcely could have an- ticipated a more graphic application of the military suggestions they had set forth.
 Today the motor car is in reality the defender of the nation. Every army camp purs and thunders with the sound of motors. Huge motor trucks convey supplies from city to camp. Motor trucks bear ammunition and men to the battle front in Europe. Passenger cars-the same on which the public once hung the misnomer pleasure car'-rush back and forth from barracks to barracks and from camp to camp, carrying the officers and men who, in days gone by, would have been compelled to plod about on horses. Police patrols fire apparatus and ambulances are motorized. The entire military life of the nation is pulsed by the throb of the engines.
 SAVED PARIS FROM HUNS
 It was taxicabs. trucks and pas senger cars that saved Paris from the Germans and 1t was motorized equip ment that helped save Italy from de- struction.
 Government officials and army off cers would throw up their hands in dismay if called upon to answer the query: How much time would have been lost if you had been deprived of your motor equipment for mobliza- tion, training and fighting?" The question is one which will not recon cile itself with the requirements of modern warfare.
 FIRST WAR USE
 The preliminary to the great war, which gave the automobile it's first real opportunity to demonstrate it's value to the army, was the Pershing punitive expedition in Mexico Here truck trains had their origin. Here 1t was that Dodge Brothers motor car established Itself so securely in the government service It was Pershing who first ordered this car generally used in his operations on the border and throughout Mexico. By the time the expedition was recalled more than 300 Dodge Brothers cars bore the placard U. S. A.
 When the war began, the govern ment natuSlly turned to Dodge Brothers again. Immense orders be- gan pouring in and today every army camp in the country is dotted with the "DB."
 SHIPPED DIRECT TO FRONT
 Many of the cars are shipped direct from the factory to General Pershing in France. A train of 30 trucks, which recently made test run from Detroit to the Atlantic coast, was loaded with parts for Dodge Brothers motor cars. All were for immediate shipment to France.
 Dodge Brothers service division has not only adopted the armys elaborate and systematic method of parts group ing and shipping, but has introduced new features which add greatly to it's merit, by means of which immediate repairs or replacements are made Tn the theatre of war. The same system has now been introduced for all mo- l
