Chairmen of the Red Cross auxil-

been asked to cooperate in the secur-

ha sreceived the following:
We have been asked by national

for the government shipping program
in which it is planned to enroll $780,
900 men for service in ship yards.
Not only does the supplying Of our
armies and allies with war materials
and the consequent winning of the war
depend upon shipping facilities, but
the effectiveness of Red Cross work
depends largely upon the carrying out
of the shipping program of the gov
ernment
Necessary ship yards and materials
for construction, and funds to carry on
the work have already been provided
by the government All that is lacking
is the enlistment of sufficient skilled
labor and a knowledge Of needs such
as to increase a spirit in the nation
that will insure ships being built at
once.
The American Red Cross is vitality
interested in increasing shipping IA
cilities. What can your chapter do to
assist in this tremendously important
task? We suggest that you offer your

Care of Horses.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, Feb. IA
Persons who have driven into town
from the rural districts and leave
their horses standing in the cold for
hours here are finding that it costs
them money
The police in looking after the vel
fare of animals have been taking
horses left standing while their own
ers are at theatre or attending a
meeting, to a boarding stable in town.
When the owner finds his horse gone
and notifies the police he is sent to the
stable and forced to pay for the
horses keep. Usually the next time
the steed is driven to town it's covered
with blanket while the owner is en-
joying himself and getting warm.

fore selecting an automobile to at tempt the difficult AZ miles to Mt. Ida with the governor as a passenger.
 From the record the Maxwell had made in this part of the country the committee quickly decided it was the car to requisition,' a member of the committee said.
 The territory covered is noted prin- cipally for its rough mountains and dense forests-not for it's highways. A rain had made the otherwise bad roads nearly impossible. The roads are filled with chuck holes, rocks, and sheep hills.
 H. C. Phelps of Hot Springs tend cred his Maxwell touring car and personally drove the machine across the ridges to Mt Ida without a stop except one at Womble to ar range for the Governor to speak as he returned on the trip. Governor Brough was put in Mt. Ida on time, delivering his speech, which caused Arkansawyers to over subscribe their quota, and returned via Womble to Hot Springs in sufficient time for him to jump into his clothes and at tend a six o'clock dinner at the Arlington Hotel.
 T fully enjoyed the trip and the easy riding of the Maxwell is a revelation-an experience I shall not soon forget said the Governor as he stepped out of the car which had pulled through extremely difficult obstacles on the tour.

 MANUF FACTURER

The automobile industry faces a rather complex situation for 191S," says E. P. Hughes of the Leach Motor company, and there is conse- quently more than the usual interest in the annual shows.
 There is no question about the market for cars-it will be the most fertile of any year in the history of the industry. This is the opinion of every sales expert who has looked thoroughly into present conditions and prospects,
 There is likewise no doubt that the supply of cars will be considerably curtailed, and therefore nowhere near equal to the demand

MOTORISTS ADOPT HORN
 SIGNALS

Perhaps you have never noticed, but there is a code of horn signals of motorists, recognized by drivers the same as whistle signals by steamers" says E. P. Hughes of the Leach Motor company, distributors for the Rec, King, Premier and Lib erty. "Unconsciously when one driver wishes to pass the car ahead of him, he toots a long blast, to let them know that he is coming, to make sure the motorist ahead is not going to cut in while he is passing"
 "The rapid short blast of the horn by the driver behind the car ahead means that the car ahead is in danger either by the car behind or some other automobile, but usually it is a warning signal to cars ap- preaching from the opposite direction
 "These signals are simply the out growth of custom, yet they are just as efficient as those that are regu- lated by the D. s. government for steamers"

work may have it; manufacturers that plan wisely can, with a few eX- captions, keep their wheels turning on government work, if not on their own product; it follows that retail merchants will be busy; in fact that all sorts of wideawake people will cash in.
 'All these classes are alive to the essential importance of the automo bile. It is an indispensable factor in the conduct of modern affairs, as vital in fact as the telephone, the typewriter or any other instrumental ity that cuts down time and en- courages endeavor.
 "The question then is how to build cars enough to go around. How nearly this can be done is a problem that rests largely with the govern ment. Officialdom now recognizes fully the desirability of giving the public all the cars it needs, but on the other hand, it must to certain extent depend upon the automobile factories for the manufacture of mu- nitions.
 Personally, I believe the output of cars in 1918 will be about 65 per cent to 70 per cent of normal, and that there will be three buyers awaiting for every good car turned out from l factory gates"
