you. What does it mean to be origi-

''but first of all let me say that you

superiority. Those are not things to

it is impossible to swallow it."
"Now, Mr.. Turkey, may be only a
poor hen, but know few things. It's

when speak of swallowing my pride.
Everyone knows no one means to

That the army authorities are disturbed

ment issued by Brig. Gen. c. b. Drake

reads as follows:

Automobiles are going to play more
important part in the summer vacation

tory of gasoline-scented migrations.

about to buy one, and his wife and the

c. Harold Wills has severed with the
Ford Motor Company and Henry Ford
business relations which cover Pc
riod of nearly is years, says X. b. Alex
ander of Detroit. Mieh,tN
Mr. Wills association with Henry
Ford beginning March 20, 1901, ante
dates the organization OF the Fofa
Motor company by two years. In fact,
Mr. Wills was the first associate MIR.
Ford selected in his original venture
as an Independent motor car manufac-
turer.
While unprepared as yet to make
any definite public statement of MS
plans Mr.. Wills announces that he il

ness somewhat similar to the one to
which he has given nearly two decades
of his extraordinarily successful and
brilliant career. He expects to open
temporary offices in the Book build
ing and is not affiliated with any other
company or organization.
1t is generally conceded that c. Har-
old Wills is responsible for two vastly
important factors in the amazing sue
cess of the Ford Motor company Ths
first of these factors is the designing
of the Ford car. Mr.. Wills has had
charge of the designing and manufac-
ture of every automobile that the Ford
Motor company has produced since It's
organizat ton, June 16, 1903.
The second important factor in Ford
success is the work Mr.. Wills has done
in designing, organizing and develop
ing the huge manufacturing equipment
and facilities which have made 1t pos
sible for the Ford Motor company to
produce nearly a million automobiles
a year.
1t has been Mr.. Wills, these IS years.
who has employed. trained and de-
veloped the manufacturing heads OF
the organization. 1t was he who de-
signed special machinery and equip
ment, ginal methods and processes
of manufacture to solve these problems
unique in industry, because of such
stupendous production.

CADILLAC BEATS
FRENCH TRAIN
Army Officer Tells of Mill
tary Cars Duplication OF
Favorite American Feat

When Col. Thornwell Mutually of the
California Grizzlies went from Bordeaux
to Paris one night, he probably knew
that he was travelling rather fast in the
government Cadillac, says Sam Jones oi
Drennen Motor Car company.
But he probably did not know that the
Cadillac was easily trimming the fastest
train in France, the observation-disclosures
express. Bordeaux is 400 miles southeast
of Paris The train leaves there at III
the evening and arrives in Paris at the
next morning. .. ---
The story OF the record-breaking run
was brought back by Capt. Al G. Wad
dell. Who recently returned from France.
Waddell and Captain Bedford Boyes were
in Bordeaux and were leaving on the ex-
press for Paris to be in the French capltal
for the reception to King Albert on the
day following They dined at the CAFE
de Bordeaux and as they left to so to the
train Colonel Mutually was just starting
his dinner They boarded the express
and~reached Paris on time, going 10 the
University union, where the officers reg
istered.
.Inagine my surprise" said Waddell'
when / arrived, to find Colonel Mul-
lally there and george Eue' al "Sii NJ "
San Francisco driver, sitting IN the coio-
ners Cadillac outside. The only way wv
colonel could have gotten to Paris was III
the Cadillac, and as he could not posslnly
have left for an hour after the train dio,
and must have arrived conslderaNS
ahead, 1t is a certainty that the Caoiilac
beat this fast train by over an hour
Waddell was enthusiastic over the WORK
the Cadillac has done in France The cars
used by the army were painted owe uiao
and those under navy supervision "eIe
n.inted white. These were the most con-
snicuous models seen overseas. 1t Will De
recalled that the Cadillac has repeatedly
beaten the time of crack trains on fast
runs in America.
