Paris, March 24-By MaiD-Ten
French car manufacturers have formed
q union to make their purchases in
common, thus getting the advantage of
lower rates, to standardize many parts
of their cars, to avoid direct COMPETE
ton by the production of similar mod
els and to produce Il joint cheap car.

rich.
While the war was in progress it was
suggested the French manufacturers
should cooperate through their ma
tional association to avoid direct COM
petition and to get the advantage of
standardization of parts. After nego-
tiations had been carried out it was
realized the entire trade was too big
for real cooperation to be carried out.
As a consequence the initiative was
taken by Louis Delage of getting to-
gether a group of manufacturers Who
would reveal their plants to one an
other and who would cooperate to-
ward Standardization and low cost of
production.
The ten firms forming this group are
all, roughly, of the same financial and
engineering importance. The biggest

In Illinois, bids were asked last

highway, to the south. The bids will
be opened April "a 'If they prove
satisfactory says s. f. Bradt, state
superintendent of highways. antici-

contracts on the federal system at the
rate of about 100 miles every two

And this. of course, is in addition
to any start that may be made on the
state road system under the $60,O0O,-

NEW DRIVERS; KEEP COOL,
TAKE YOUR TIME.
A word to new drivers

Take your time during the
first month, keep cool and have
reason for everything you do,
and, above all, think, do not
forget 1t, think-and you will
get along all right.
Know what each pedal of an
automobile is for, know what
each button will do, but be sure
about it. and do not lose your
head. Then you will not get
into any trouble.
Early morning is the best
time to learn the first stages
of driving. Go slowly and keep
to the right. Get in the habit
of watching for vehicles both
on the street you are driving
and on the cross streets.
After a short period, when
you feel satisfied you have
mastered the elementary things,
; drive later in the day when
traffic is heavier. But be care
; full. This will accustom you to
; the crowds. During the learning
period drive slowly. Do not
speed. Most of the trouble
) comes from driving too fast.
Find out all about your car
and treat it with consideration.
; Watch fabrication. You do not
: go without food for several
days, nor should you allow your
; car to be without sufficient oil
and water. Both are necessary
. for proper performance.
; And remember your car is a
: piece of machinery. 1t is not
infallible. Do not expect the
impossible Of It. Treat it with
. consideration and it will return
uniform service to you.

AN ARGUMENT ON DUTY
Everyone Who Can Possibly Do
so Should Purchase Now to
Make Up for Decreased Dis
tribution During War.
BY EXPERT.

Once again the automobile buying
season is with us. and this time UNI
der such happy auspices as are like
~ to make it the most memorable
year in the whole remarkable history
of the automobile industry.
No longer need the prospective car
buyer weigh his real need for a new
vehicle against his conscientious scru-
pies and desire to be patriotic. No
one can doubt that in addition to
pleasing his own desire in the matter
the buyer of an automobile has added
something to his country's efficiency
by putting into service another vehicle
that contributes just that much to its
transportation system.
In fact, this spring we may say that
it is the patriotic duty of every man
who can afford one to buy car so as
to help make up for the decreased
number put in operation during the
last months of the war.
USE SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS.
1t is probable that more than 1, 50O,-
600 motor cars will be purchased dur
ing the remainder of 1919. The aver
age mans investment in a car will run
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$4,000. This is a substantial sum, an

Food Authority, Warns of
Dangers Of Neglect

"The simplest of natural foods con-
tain all the mysterious physoloeica

Cam in his surprisingly gripping and
dramatic book, "Thc Science Of Eating"
"sull,' he says, I'VE find scientists

Gated and hghsounding explanations

neglect the extraordinary medicinal
properties Of wheat bran in our vain
efforts TO obtain relief from constipa-

leads to many dreadful evils?"
Mr.. McCann recently stated:

Sale of Army Food Begins
The sale OF surplus army food be-
gan to day throughout the country.
This food was offered at storage cen
tres. also by parcel post. An i'm
mensc amount of bacon, canned meats,
beans and other staple foods was dis
posed of, but no figures on the total
have been tabulated.
Attorney General Palmer approved
suggestion made in telegram by
Governor Gardner, of Missouri, that
the conference of governors send rep
rcsentatives to Washington to COOP
crate with Federal authorities in CT
forts to curb protiteers and lower the
cost of living.
Thirtyiive cent collars on Scptem-
Der |, higher priced overcoats and the
inquiry into the cost of shoes
featured the debate of the House to-
day on the high cost of living, when
member after member insisted Con-
gress could do little if anything to
lower living costs.
The House was about to adopt q
resolution of Representative Igoc, Of
Missouri, directing the Federal Trade
Commission to investigate the high
cost of shoes, when point of order
raised by Representative King, Of
lllinlos, forced an adjournment Rep
rcsentative Igoc's resolution was
amended, however, to eliminate from

1t is hoped to have the investigation
complete within few weeks, so as
to prevent the high prices which
