AUTOMOBILE NEWS
WATCH YOUR BATTERIES
 WARNS THIS AUTO MAN

"In the early days of the automo- bile," says local dealer in automo- piles and trucks, "the man who owned modest 'horseless carriage even if it didn't perform regularly, was thought to be far in advance of his time. Today, the man who doesn't own motor car is considered behind the time. Today with efficiency at it's present high state of development and labor and time saving devises in such great demand, the motor car is of first importance. Twenty-Five years ago, efficiency, like the automobile, was in its swaddling clothes. Neither had the value of time become so inn portant.
 To-day, the importance of the mo- tor car is attested in many ways. Last but not least of these are the 6,000,000 odd passenger cars in use today. These figures are impressive. they are important. They are signifi- cant.
 "The person with a mathematical turn of mind could compile some very interesting tables and comparisons with regard to the automobile if he so desired. For instance, if he figured up the seating capacity of all the au- tomobiles in the country and com pared the total with that of railroad coaches, he would find that there are enough passenger cars in this coun- try to carry 30,00000O people and enough railroad coaches to carry 3,500,000. He would also discover that the combined yearly passenger mileage of automobiles exceeds that of railroads by over 100000 miles.
 "Or, if he should turn to the farm for his comparisons, he would find that the farmers of this country are using over 100000 automobiles every day. If horses were substitut- ed for these motor cars it would take 25 100000 of them. This in turn would tie up 125 100000 acres of rich farm land on which to raise their feed
 "And there are many other equally interesting facts and figures, all of which convincingly testify to vital importance and economic value of au- tomobiles in every line of human en- deavor, which he would bring to light"

DECLUTCHING AT CORNERS

While it is a wise precaution to throw out the clutch when rounding a sharp corner, it also has bene- ficial effect upon the tires. Whenever the car tends to skid, due to its de1 flection from a straight course, a cross-strain is brought to bear on the tire treads, which is directly propor,- tional to the weight of the vehicle and the radius of the curve and propor- tion to the square of it's velocity. If the power is applied in rounding curve the tendency to rip off the tires is further aggravated by the back ward drag due to traction. If the clutch is released, however, that fac tor is eliminated and the strain is thereby reduced.

RELINING sOF BRAKE
 BANDS VERY IMPORTANT

To have the lining of the bands of the foot brake and low speed of the Ford car in frst-class condition is of considerably more importance than the average owner realizes. If the foot brake or low speed grabs and jerks when you depress the pedal, first try tightening them little. If this does not make them take hold smoothly it is sign that they need refining.
 One of the very best brake Things that has so far been placed on the market is what is known as the cork insert type.' It consists of a high quality material with round pieces of cork inserted to take the wear. Cork has been used for years in the clutches of high-grade cars, but it has been comparatively recently that it has been adapted to the use of the Ford car.

A LABOR LESSON
FOR EMPLOYERS

After 1000 wooden workers had
returned to work in the mills in
Passaic, N. j., believing that all
their demands had been granted
they discovered that some of their
leaders had been discharged, where
upon they Immediately quit work
again.-EXchange.
1t seems a hard task to teach
some employers the principle of
collective bargaining, but they'll
have to learn it. 1t mas come to
stay. Those Passaic wooden mill
owners showed their ill temper
when they discharged the leaders
of the strike, and did something
which does not argue we'll for their
intelligence. They were forced to
acknowledge collective bargaining
and will be forced to regard labor
as not a commodity. If the auto
cratic employers think labor is a
commodity, why don't they hold on
to all they can get of it? If it is a
commodity it is valuable
Those employers will have to
learn that commodity is some
thing they can sell, but they can
not sell labor and they cannot buy
it. They can only bargain with it
to cooperate with capital in the
production of wealth.

SECOND: BECAUSE OF ITS Eff
Feet ON THE MARKET VALUE
OF THE VICTORY NOTES

A large er-subscription will
tend to establish a market value for
the Victory Notes at or above the is
sue price. When the great bond
houses offer for subscription an i'm
portant new issue of bonds they
conduct an intensive selling cam
paign and when the subscriptions
come in if there is the slightest
question as to the market for the
new issue offered, they "oyer-allot'
that is, they confirm sale of more
bonds than there are in existence.
This, to the initiated, may seem a
surprising procedure. 1t is adopt
ed because experience has shown
that there are always certain
number of cancellations. Orders
are duplicated. Subscribers ask for
more bonds than they really expect
to get, or change their minds. If,
therefore, all subscriptions except
just enough to make up the issue
are rejected at the end of the sell
ing campaign, these cancellations
Immediately throw wet blanket
of bonds on the market and the
market declines. On the other
hand, if sales have been confirmed
in excess of the amount of bonds
available, these cancellations are
| taken care of in advance, there is
strong bidding for bonds to take
care of the short" sales, the mar
ket advances, and thousands of sub
scribers all over the country are
pleased. The issue is a success.
The Treasury Department has
sought to adopt the same principle
in limiting allotments of the Victory
Notes. If these Notes are 1907
over-subscribed, the large subscrib-
ers will be cut down and many cit
liens who really want the Notes as
an investment Will be IN the market
to purchase Notes coming from
others who are subscribing merely
for appearances, and do not intend
to hold.
Do not be satisfied at going
over the top" with the amount of
your quota. Keep right on going
and storm the enemy's trenches
with 1907 ver-subscription. A
countrywide oversubscription of
this magnitude will pay big diVid-
ends in developing political and
business confidence and in making
a record for Victory Notes as war
offering which held its issue price.

DO NOT STOP WHEN
QUOTA IS REACHED

SAN FRANCISCO, April &c
George X. Weeks, head of the Vic
tory Loan campaign in the Twelfth
| Federal Reserve District, in a bull
letin just issued says
Loberty Loan workers should not
gain the idea that, because the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has announc-
ed that Victory Loan Notes will not
! be allotted in excess of the $4,500,-
: 100000 fixed as the amount of this
Loan, work can stop in any locality
as soon as its quota is obtained.
a substantial over-subscription
of the Loan is very desirable
FIRST: BECAUSE OF ITS Eff
Feet ON PUBLIC SENTIMENT
(a) Politically: The peace trea-
ty has not yet been signed. There
is indisputable evidence that many
German statesmen believe their op-
ponents are war-weary and that a
show OF defiance may result in their
avoiding proper reparation for their
aggressions. \ large over-subscrip-
ton of the Victory Loan at the
present time will have an immense
moral influence in all Of the cap
itals of Europe.
!
(b) Effect on Business: Conf
dence is the foundation stone of
prosperity. A large over-subscrip-
ton of the Victory Loan will do
more than any other one thing to
stimulate business and strengthen
the markets for all other American
securities.
