PRAISES NEW BUICK
Chas. Z. Silsby, Local Dealer, Says
The New Model *" Is A
Marked Improvement.

with the announcement of our
new 1870 model "k' SERIES, says
Charles 4. Sissy, the well known
local Buick automobile dealer, land
the marked improvement III refine
ncnts, brings our new series before
the buying public with an Instant
stamp OF approval, and invariably the
expression Is made, how such beautl-
tul types and thoroughly constructed
models can be manufactured at the
prices announced, with the high cost
of materials and labor entering into
them"
To still maintain the 1919 price up
on some models with only u slight
increase upon the coupe and sedans,
coupled with increased quality and
improvements is the result of strong
purchasing power and careful consld-
Grafton on the part Of the Buick
Motor Company. Prices instantly
become a secondary consideration in
comparison with the different models,
as hundreds of these models have al
ready been sold by dealers upon a
sight unseen plan, buyers having COM
plcte confidence in the Buick Motor
Company to manufacture Il series of
models retaining the Buick high STAN
dard of quality first, price later.
The most difficult situation that
confronts the prospective Buick pur-
chaser is the matter of car delivery
for demands are increasing daily for

LABOR SHORTAGE IN
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY

There is an acute scarcity of skill
led .abor in the motor trade throuh-
out the United States and particular
ly in Chicago, it is reported today
to Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant
To the Secretary of War, by the Edl-
tor of leading motor magazine.
There are therefore excellent oppor-
tunities for skilled labor along any
line connected with the motor indus
try, for finding satisfactory employ
ment.
This offers an attractive field to
discharged service men, great many
of whom received thorough train
ing in the handling of motors during
their service in the army. The meteor
industry, it is further reported, has
utilized the services of discharged sol
liers and sailors to the fullest extent.
Practically all of tEc men returned
from the service who before enlist
ing were in the motor industry or
trade, have been rcemployed. In ad-
dition, a great many men who have
been retained along motor lines while
in the service, have also found en-
ployment.
On account of the labor unrest in
practically all skilled labor lines, how
ever, and on account of the falling
off of immigration and apprenticeship
during the period of the war, there
are still number of excellent OPP
pirtunities open to ex-service men
who before the wan, were members of
the motor industry, or who during

SELECTED WILLARD
Story of How the Government Selcc
ted Its Battery for the Liberty
Air Motor

When Il Liberty Motor is giving its
utmost to push forward Il Liberty
plane, the result to the ear at least
is noise which would hardly be
welcome in the reading room OF Il
public library, OF under your window
when you want to sleep.
Such is the voice of gasoline raised
in protest against being introduced to
the little spark of electricity which
jumps across the spark plug 165 times
every second; but the protest is in
vain for the "juicc" keeps coming;
1G5 times each second, 5000 sparks
per minute, $4,000 times in an hour,
coming from Il little innocent looking
box full of lead and acid and water
and rubber e.
The storage battery is the soul OF
the Liberty motor. AS gasoline Is
its food, steel and aluminium its
clothing, so is electricity its spark Of
life. The Willard Storage Battery
Company in Cleveland had for years
been making storage batteries for
starting, lighting and ignition on auto
mobiles. When Uncle Sam decided
he would "takc no more nonsense"
from the Kaiser, the Willard organi-
cation was asked to design storage
battery for ignition i'll an aircraft
motor.
The Willard engineers set to work
and designed battery of the proper
capacity, weighing but ten pounds
and two ounces, which was aatisfac-
tory to the government designers.
But Liberty Plane must operate
lust as we'll "head over heels" as any
other way, and the Willard engineers
found that they must design a bat
terry which, while open at the top, did
not spill it's contents when inverted.
Within ten days from the receipt of
Weekly Caledonian. (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1919-1920, 1919-08-06

The Governments specifications, the
Willard engineers had designed and
perfected Il battery which met the
Governments needs as to capacity,
size, wei. hit, and this battery oper-
ated upside down. This battery WAS
adopted and never since has ii been
changed in any detail.

Storage bcttcries havefor years been
recognized as the most efficient and
most reliable means of providing ig-
milton for gasoline motors, but other
and less advantageous forms of igni-
ton had to be used until American
inventive genius was brought to bear
on modern war problems.

s375, 100000 BEING SPENT THIS
YEAR IN NETWORK OF BETTER HIGHWAYS
Goodrich Rubber Company Gives in Detail Tremendous
Amount Being Spent By the Govern
ment, State and Counties

The United States is in the midst
OF the greatest highway building
J campaign in the history of the world.
The aggregate amount to be eXpcnd-
cd this year on the roads and lanes
Of the country would build and dup
licatc another Panama Canal. Ac-
cordin% to figures collected by the
Is. Z. Goodrich Rubber Company,
combined forces Of the federal gov
! eminent, states and counties will
spend $375, 100000 in new construc-
ton and maintenance of the nations
network of highways. This is the
! first complete survey of 1919 good
roads expenditures. The amounts to
be spent i: each state in the Union
follow:
Alabama 100000
Arizona G,250,000
Arkansas 4,279,39

Roughly Goodrich officials estimate
that the expenditures for highway
improvement is approximately $3.09
per capita; OF, to emphasize this, each
man, woman and child in the United
States would contribute this much
for the building and lettering of
roads were taxation on such a basis
Were the expense apportioncd out on
an average basis each state would
pay $7,OS3,33333.
The era of good roads talk has at
last been succeeded by the era OF
good construction. Public sentiment
is solidly behind extensive highway
building programs now, says one OF
the Goodrich highway correspondents
but the enthusiasm must not wanc
The millions being spent will be spent
in vain unless states undertake to re-
pair roads as quickly as they build.
While the amount available for cx-
penditurc this year seems staggering
it will not be enough to make up fol

Thousands on Lists
Await Ship Berths/
on British Vessels

London.-At least as serious as
1.-The high cost of transportation on
ships is the extreme scarcity of
passenger accommodation of any
kind, matter which was recently
raised in the South African house of
assembly. The waiting lists of the
liner companies now include many
thousands of names.
In view of the distress and incor-
venience to many which must be in
VOWED in this lack of accommoda-
ton, it may be useful to set out
briefly the reason why ships have
not been replenished:
l. Passenger liner fleets were Sc
riously depleted by enemy attacks
during the war, and, while 4 GER
tain amount of STANDARD" cargo
tonnage was constructed, the liner
fleets have not been replenished.
2. A very large amount of tom
mage is required for the repatriation
of troops and sick men. The routes
on which shipping is needed for the
purpose include the long distance
voyages to South Africa, Australia
and New Zealand, German East
Africa, Mesopotamia, Egypt, etc. 1t
will be many months, under the
most favorable conditions, before
all the men can be transported home.
5. The interiors of many ships
which have been employed in direct
government service during the war
will need to be rebuilt for ordinary
passenger traffic. 1t is estimated
that the work of reconstructing
ships which were converted into
armed cruisers, transports, ETC.. will
take from three to nine months at
the yards in which they werf h'Qt,

Once Army Hero,
Now $l2 a Week
Cub" News Reporter

Chicago-Lieut. George w. Pat
terson, jr., late of the 18th French
artillery division, is about convinced
today that there are things lots
worse than a world war.
Lieutenant Patterson is now a re-
porter, drawing all of $l2 every
week and seeing lfe," as he puts
it. at the same time fearlessly an
nouncing that he chose the news
paper game deliberately as a
means of making a, living, on his
frsurn from Europe.
Not that it is at all necessary
that he labor for $l2 a week, as
evidence the fact that his wife, Mrs.
George w. Patterson, who served
also doing her bit with auto unit
No. 7 and winning the French war
cross, is now star speaker in the
Chicago Victory loan drive. But
Lieutenant Patterson wanted to
learn the business from the ground
up. He is.
AS a city news bureau reporter
he rides in ambulances and patrol
wagons, peeks in at inquests and
court cases, interviews thieves, muir
derers, policemen, doctors, street
car conductors, deserted woman
and stray children, while covering
a beat filled with rum and romance,
news and nuisances.
"I'm not worth $12 a week now,"
Patterson said, "but l will be. I've
i been a reporter just three weeks.
It's fascinating work. chose it de-
liberately. It's an education. It's
living. It's romance"
Lieutenant Patterson finds 'ro-
nance in newspap after Win
ming a Croix de Guerre for extra
ordinary gallantry in the Argonne
and bride, all in one war.
He is the son of Prof. George
w. Patterson, of Michigan univer-
sity. He graduated from Yale in
1914 and went to France as secre-
tary of the Yale bureau of the Uni
versity Union. He resigned to en-
ter the French artillery and won
his commission there. 1t was on
his first leave while wearing his
first uniform that he met Miss
Suzette Ryerston, and married her
in Holv Trinity church. Paris.

NO WAR SUPPLIES
TO BE OBTAINED
FOR PENSACOLA

Pensacola will not attempt to secure
and sell at cost a stock of supplies
from the government warehouse at
New Orleans was first intended
as a combined venture of Mayor San
ders and the Central Trades Council,
sponsors for the deal, it is stated.
Mayor Sanders announced yester-
day that no further steps would be
taken to secure the stock. Because in
case of damage or theft in transit
no claim could be made against the
government for a refund, was given
as the reason for failure to push the
deal. A certified check for the entire
amount of goods ordered in not less
than carload lots would have been
necessary to secure the stock.
