made; aiTplane parts were being constructed and parts fOt a new type of ocean going vessel were being built in the same factories. The railroads found the freight burden too heavy, a0 one Detroit automobile concern suggested to the government that its trucks be allowed to deliver them selves. Permission was given and the plan proved successful. The cars not only delivered themselves at seapOrts but carried capacity loads of freight.
 Day after day, long lines of new trucks stream from the heart Of the city and. according to investigations made by the Board of Commerce, they make the trip to Philadelphia Or Baltimore in much better time than the steam freight car service"
 Detroit's two big shipbliding com panies are, of course, doing nothing but war work. Their construction in 1917 was a record and greater achieve ments are forecast for this year. The plants are building vessels of Q length that will pass through the Canadian canals and are fitting other lake ships for the journey to salt water.
 Detroit factories now are getting ready for their big output drive. Fuel restrictions imposed by the national and state administrators have been flied, navigation soon will be opened, freight service is expected to be much better and the motor truck trains will continue to rumble eastward. Then the fear Of over-productioa set backs will be dissipated, 1t Is believed.

MOTOR FACTORIES TAKE LARGE PART
 IN WAR CANPAIGN
Industrial Plants of Nation Show Tremendous Work of Preparation and Discharge of Foreign Orders.

DFTDOIT, Mich. March 23.-The tremendous part which the altomo- bile factories and ether industrial plants of Detroit, are playing in the procution Of the war is shown by fig ures obtained for the Associated Press by the Detroit Board Of Commerce. According To these statistics war con tracts totalling S6Oe.OO0.O0 have been turned over to local firms since last Apr but industrial leaders and trade exuerts seem agreed that this fact is secondary in importance. t
 The leading spectacle in Detroit's war drama has been the remarkable speed with which many of these con tracts have been filled. l. is believed that no city in America got under head way for government work more quick lv. kept more free from strikes and labor dissension: protected it's inuuc- trial resources more perfectly rom enemy plots. or accomplished more when rail, and water transportation facilities were lacking. There has not been a strike Of important proportions in Detroit since the United States en- tered the war. Several attempts at incendiarism were nipped in the bud end there has boen no serious fire at a war products factory.
 Detroit men conceived the Liberty motor While motor experts we're perfecting this piece Of machinery, local factory, nearly a quarter of mile in length, was being built. A short time after the motor was ap- 4l-. ing turned out in this factory.
 On another occasion, government representaivcs came to Detroit with contracts fer s30.000000 worth of ordnance. 4 large automobile com panv accepted the task: spent more than g .OO0. 900 for building c0Dstruc- ton and in a comparatively short time had installed the special machinery which the government had furnished. Manufacturing then became routine
 Then 9 proposition was made to manufacture shells here. Several business men held a heeting, organ ized a company, and new industry was founded
 Anti-submarine boat plans were an nounced- at Washington early in Feb ruary. A few days later. it was an noynced here that contracts had been let for a plant. to be built at River Rouge. a suburb of Detroit. where hun dreds of these small boats are to be built and launched. The factory must be ready by the tenth of May, accord ing to the contract. Between 10000 and 15.0O0 men will he employed and announcement has been made that the government will construct small naval training station there, so crews may be ready for each boat as soon as it strikes the water The boats then will start for the Atlantic Ocean, via the Detroit river and Great Lakes.
 Months ago. automobile makers saw the threat oe freight congestion. Auto mobiles Of every kind. from great trucks and ambulancss. to small, high power officers cars were being

TIRE BUYERS SHOULD
 DISCRIMINATE WHEN
 PURCHASING CASINOS

If there ever was time when tire buyers should carefully discriminate, it is now" says Harvey J. Woodland, general sales manager of the Repub; lie Rubber corporation.
 And they should not be content with the outward appearance of a tire, but should inquire into its ante cedents and what its manufacturers stand for.
 ''It is easy to make tire that looks good. But the real goodness of d tire is in the construction and in the quality of the rubber used in the tread.
 Now is the time for users of motor cars to economize, and real economy consists of buying a tire with an es- tablished reputation which will fast eInger
 "A leading newspaper recently had a lengthy editorial on Gypsy Horse and Gypsy Tire in which it pointed out that buying an unknown tire was like buying a horse from a gypsy.
 "The buyer took all the chances with the percentage against him, and it was rarely that one of these un- known tires stood up and delivered the mileage.
 Republic tires are made by the Prodium process. This process, which is the exclusive possession of the Re public corporation, yields a rubber that is particularly tough and wear resisting.
 We know that it makes Republic tires last longer, and they are real economy at this time"

ENCLOSED CAR SALES
 INCREASED BY RAIN

Enclosed cars" says Mir. Bledsoe of Hood & Bledsoe, Ford dealers, have become more popular the last couple of weeks on account of the bad weather. which causes the public to realize the convenience of having an all-year-round-car.
 Not only has the weather affected our sales on our Ford sedans, but the factory advance on all Ford models. except the enclosed cars, has helped to quicken the sales on sedans.
 "The convenience Of making long trips in enclosed cars is being real ized by the public more and more every day as they begin 10 see the difference between the old heavy type-a limousine, from the new mod els or enclosed cars"

When does the great ball player

AT what age is his prowess superior

little study of the ages at which
ball players have had their greatest
year is interesting. 1t shows that at
about twenty-five or twenty-Six the
maximum of efficiency is reached.
Honus Wagner had his greatest year
in 1900. At least, he reached his maxi
mum as batsman that year and his
fielding was never better. In 1900 Hon
$50 for the season.
Napoleon Lajoie had his best year
in 1901 when he was twenty-six. That
year the great Frenchman batted for
an astounding total of .422.
Cobb's star year was in 1911, when
he was twenty-five. That year Cobb
batted 400 and amassed 24S hits ana
l41 runs. When ii is considered that
there are few batters who get beyond
100 runs or 200 hits a season II may be
seen how far out ahead of the field
Cobb was that year.
Matty had something like sixteen
great years, but the greatest of these
was 1905, when he was TWENTY-FIVE.
That year Matty won 81 and lost but
nine games out of 40, and pitched three
shut-out games against the Athletics
in the world series, an achievement
which has never been equaled
Ed Walshs superyear, when he won
so games and lost 10. besides saving a
number for other pitchers, was in 1908.
Walsh was twenty-siX then. His rec
ord of 40 wins has been beaten by cniy
one pitcher, Chesbro having gone him
one better.
Walter Johnson reached his best sea-
son In 1913, when he was twenty-six.
That year he won SO and lost but seven
games. He was twenty-six In 1918. II
is hard TO pick the greatest year of
Grover Alexander, who has won more
than 30 games during the last three
seasons, but he delivered these victo.

There are exceptions, of course. Iris
