LINCOLN SAID:

Well, as to education, the ncwspa-
pers are correct. I never went to
school more than six months in my
life. I can say this: That among
my earliest recollections I remember
how, when mere child, I used ia
get irritated when anybody talked to
me in way that could not under
stand. I can remember going to my
little bedroom, after hearing the
neighbors talk of an evening with my
father, and spending no small part OF
the night trying to make out what
was the exact meaning of some o
their. to me, dark sayings.

The bignonia might well be the
State flower, the flower Of Florida.
To our mind it is the loveliest of all

duces. 1t blooms in the winter time
when most of the other flowers have
died and their gorgeous colors have
passed away.

dan, Tourcoupe and Towncar complete
the line.
The names of at least two of the
newly added models is sufficient to
arouse more than passing curiosity;
the more so that the cars sponsor q
most distinctive departure in body de-
signing.
The Tourster is finished in deep blue,
with wheels to match, the tenders, run
ming board, shields and radiator are
in black. The wide rear seats, two
auxiliary seats and front seat are up
holstered in black long grain leather
fashioned into French folds. In the
tonneau rich velvet carpet is used, and
such appointments as step light, clock,
plate glass curtain windows, conve-
nient vanity case and long accessible
brakes and control levers are among
the outstanding features.
The sweep of the rear deck of the
Roadster accentuates the straight line
effect Of the acrotype body and carries
cut the distinct aeroline, which extends
from the radiator to the very rear of
the car. The Roadster is naval gray,
with gray tenders and radiator. There

Is a golf compartment that opens at
the side and another for baggage, with
an opcning in the rear deck. The other
appointments are as complete as in the
Tourster. The top is OF the Victoria
type and is OF leather.
The Cole Aero Eight Sporster is one
of the most attractive four passenger
outing cars shown for some time. The
use of the low. beveled panels and
other features of the aerotype design
are especially appropriate in its case
All the exclusive features of the Tour
ster are repeated in tlas model, and
the naval gray, used in the Roadster,
has, been appropriately used in this
model also.
The Aero-Eight Tourcoupe is. in a
sense custom made equipage. Of
the all-season variety, it is inter
changeable from an open demi-tonneau
sporster to cosey, glass enclosed
coupe. The right front seat, folding
conveniently out OF the way, renders
the interior accessible. The design is
unconventional, evolved for Cole ex-
clusively by one Of the foremost coach
builders.
The all-season Toursedan was intro
duced for the first time by Cole two
years ago. Though adapting itself to
both summer and winter use, this new

brought right up 20 the docks at the
plant: All of which vast undertaking
Mr.. Plaintiff explains is with view
to tremendous export trade.
He points out that before the
United States entered the war Ford
was being called upon to supply the
world with cars, this being due to
universal recognition Of the low price
and small cost of upkeep--in other
words, the Ford car had become sta
pie in foreign lands and had taken a
prominent position in the list Of
United States exports. Since the sign
ing OF the armistice orders from all
parts OF the world have been pouring
in, and it is now only question Of
production and of bottoms to carry
the goods.
"Not only in automobiles but in prac-
tlcally every line of manufacture" Mr..
Plaintiff asserts, "the United States
should take tho lead in world trade.
We have fine merchant marine now.
and 1T is going to be made the greatest
in the world. Development Of our cx-
port trade depends solely on the extent
to which manufacturers cultivate for
eign markets now that they have tho
backing of their government behind
them"

Of the best known automobile men in

years sales manager Of one Of the large
passenger car manufacturers Follow
ing that he Was for five years manager

mentum--the minute you throw the
clutch it stops.
"A fellow must be an expert with
thc clutch ard also the gear lever
to get it through the speeds. The
French tank had no clutch brake,
and these old "babies' here, which
have been through the mill. with
worn clutches, "Dum' gears and adj
justments all taken up, are as balky
as mules. and are very often stalled
IN "practice" shell holes. which, of
course, are not half as bad as the
real thing. and not only by green
drivers, but often by oldtimers.
1t must be apparent to you, with
out saying any more. why the Owen
magnetic transmission would be
more efficient. The American tank is
much better. having clutch brake,
but even they are hard, due to the
fact tha5 no momentum is gained.
Now, with the magnetic transmission
the speed could be changed without
a balk. and due to the fact that there
is no mechanical connection between
the motor, etc. and no gears to pull
in place. momentum would make no
difference.
am firmly convinced of this, and
if have made myself clear you also
viii become convinced
1t is needless to say that there
would be numerous working parts
displaced. and, therefore,. less wear,
and believe me it would be more eff
ticient from every standpoint, aside
from the fact that the tank could not
be stalled in she'll hole.
The tanks did wonderful work, but
believe that with the magnetic
transmission their work would have
been ever so much more efficient and
with less casualties. GEORGE.
Added interest and Importance are
attached to this letter because of two
important events of recent date, one
Of them Secretary Daniels's strong
recommendation that all battleships be
electrically driven and the other the
general use that was made of the Entz
transmission in the army winches used
by the balloon divisions in controlling
The operation of captive balloons in
battle work.

Magnetic Transmission
Is Just What Tanks Need
With the ''Treat 'Em Rouglls,' Writing to His
Father, Who Is With Owen Magnetic Company

George S. Partridge, son of f. S.
Partridge, president of the Owen Mag
netic Motor Sales Corporation. is 4
corporal in Company C, 330th Battalion
Tank Corps and when last heard from
was stationed at Brenes. France. He
wrote recently to his father a letter
dealing with the question of tank pro-
pulsion. Having had actual experience
IN tanks under battle conditions, he
wrote with authority on their opera
ton. And having had practical ex-
perience in the mechanical end of the
automobile business he qualified as an
expert tank man. He not only operated
tanks eXpertly, but he diagnosed their
troubles and prescribed remedies OK
pcrtly.
When the Owen Magnetic automo-
bile was first introduced to New York
ers SIX wears ago, it was George Part
ridge, then fifteen years old, who
evolved a folder describing the Entz
transmission used in the Owen Mag
netlc car. This device is still used by
sales organization.
1t was not astonishing then that
George should take to tanks like a
DUCK to water Here was something
new in mechanical warfare. Now read
the letter, which is dated December
IL:
The purpose of this letter is en-
trely different from that Of pre-
ceding ones, and l want you to pay
strict attention for l am going to
make an astonishing statement.
The Owen magnetic transmission
would have saved a great many lives
# it had been installed in the tanks,
What do you think of that? It's true
and l will prove it. l have been
through tank school and have been
driving for the last few days. l can
safely say that I know tank from
one end to the other Now then. in

rely on momentum to keep your

spective buyer of this class car expects
and has a right to expect the same
refinement and finish in the details OF
the car he buys as the man who has
more money to spend. And no car
better exemplifes how this condition
can be met than this model.
The bodies, while they do not 60 to
extremes, represent the very best de-
velopment of current body styles. They
are not only pleasing to look at, but
very comfortable to ride in and perma-
nent in the excellence of their finish.
Real leather is used for the uphol-
stering; interlaced hair, which keeps
its shape and does not wad down be-
tween the cushion springs; four coats
of finishing varnish, instead of the
usual two, are among some of the
means taken to make the new Victory
model stay good looking.
handsome waterproof top Of the
best material obtainable, the lines of
which harmonic perfectly with those
of the body, distinguished this car
from the others. The top is made even
more attractive by nickel trimming on
the bows, while two plate glass WIN
dows in the rear make the car more
convenient and safe to drive with the
top up.
A comfortable, roomy drivers COM
partmcnt, with every control and in
strument in convenient reach and
sight OF the driver, and rear seat
wide enough to give comfortable room
for three grown-up people are other
factors which will make the new
Mitchell Skies acceptable to the mo-
toring public.
Car Performance a Feature
| Too many manufacturers have
! blinded themselves to the changing
conditions of motor car operation. Toe
many engineers who knew that these
conditions were changing have not
taken proper steps to meet them. This
is clearly not the case with the new
| Mitchell Skies. To overcome the diff
culties caused by the lower grades OF
fuel now obtainable this car is
equipped with a thermostat, which OPP
crates in harmony with the carburetor
Both units are made by the same PEG
pie, and saving of 20 to Is pei
cent in fuel is predicted for them. The
| higher grade of workmanship which
characterizes the whole car also helps
to cut down fuel, oil and tire con-
sumption, while the ease Of operating
the car is vastly increased for the same
reason.
"These characteristics are so notice
! able in this new model that it is pre-
dicted that shortly after it's appearance
this week it will spring to the head OF
its class as the paramount value or
the market" says George Stowe, head
of the Mitchell Motor Car Company OF
