average life of an automobile in the
past has been about five years. and
that every year, with the exception of
one year. the number of cars scrapped
and replaced by new ones equalled ap-
proximately the annual production of
five years back. The one year that is
an exception to this rule is 1918. when
war activities curtailed production.
"The first year of big production was
1916, when 100000 cars were built. This
means that 1921, which Is five years
later, will be the first year of a big an
nual replacement of old cars by new
ones.
"The annual number of cars purchased
by new owners has grown from 100000
in 1916 to 100000 in 1920. The average
for the five years is 100000 cars. When
to this figure is added the number oil
cars required for requirements it is
seen that the total potential demand
for 1921 Is far in excess of the biggest
annual production to date, which was
about 200. 900 cars of all kinds for 1920.
"The faith of the Bowman Automo-

1.-The automobile and the railroad
mean transportation. Man cannot get
along without transportation. 1t Is
really a primal instinct with him." said
Sidney B. Bowman, president of the
Sidney b. Bowman Automobile Com
pany. metropolitan distributors for the
Kissel custom built six and the Grant
six, yesterday at the show.
THE automobile is great success
because it appeals to this instinct and
satisfies it more than any other means
of transportation. For short and mod
crate distances 1t has all the speed and
advantages of railroad transportation,
with none of it's disadvantages. 1t is
great improvement on any former
means of personal transportation on ac-
count of its speed. An automobile IS
really a private railroad train that does
not run on rails, is not tied down to any
schedule and is therefore, with its mod
ern dependability, at the beck ana call
of the owner at all times. For these
reasons the future prosperity and fur
ther growth of the automobile industry
Is assured
During 1921 there will be a greater
demand than ever before, because of
the larger number of old cars that will
have to be replaced and because the
demand for cars by new owners IS
growing steadily every year.

LOCOMOBILE CARS

"Sportif" This is a development Of the
racing car and is strictly continental in
design. Unlike the customary racy
types the Sportif has made every pro-
vision for driver and passenger COM
fort. the use OF an extra long steering
post permitting the front seats TO be
set nearly amidships. with the attendant
improvement in the cars riding Cuali-
ties This particular car Is striking
in color as we'll as In dellgn, being
painted a special shade Of medium dark
red with light red wheels and springs.
Another development in the four pas
senger type is the double cowl four
passenger touring This is. OF course,
custom built model and II possesses a
marked individuality. The extra cowl
extends back to the rear seats and Offers
complete protection to the passengers.
The distinctive appearance Of the close
coupled body Is further brought out
by the smarl -.~toria top. 1t Is painted
a celestial b!oic End has dark blue leather
upholstery to hatch.
For strictly formal car the lmou-

roomy, its low suspension and long
wheel base do Gwsy with any suggestion

lines are of necesaity conventional. The
superb coachwc'k and the numerous re-

distinctive color schene of black and
medium dark blue. have led many to
believe it a special custom built car. al
though ii is the standard model
The Locomob.le coupe-limousine,
though not as formal in line as the
standard limousine at the first glance,
appears even more so on closer inspec-
ton because of It's severely tailored ap-
pearance The color is solid black, un-
relieved by any stripping, and the in
terror is finished in a special dark tan
broadcloth, with metal fittings to match.
Motorists who enjoy tracing the an
cestry of cars will recognize this type
as a development of the old fashioned
horse drawn brougham. which played
such an important part In the social
life Of our grandfathers.
Less formal but equally distinctive is
the cabriolet, upon which the designer
has achieved that difficult objective
making the car appear equally smart
when entirely open as well as when
closed. When the rear end is folded
down the drivers partition and the side
door frames may be left UP. giving the
passenger protection on three sides.

Mr.. bort spent a lot of time on this
subject and had several models built and

closely with Mr.. bort during this time

UNEXPECTED RIDE.

Ten years ago we attended the Indian "corn dance," on the Rose bud reservation. The festivities were held inside the race course and the Indians were decked out in gay blankets, paint and feathers galore. When my husband went to get me a drink of water, a gorgeous young chief stepped up, looked our auto over and, without a word, hopped insbeside me and proceeded to race our machine around the race course, his blanket and feathers streaming on the breeze while I held on to the seat, shrieking madly. Round and round the course we whizzed until the gas was exhausted. Then say ing, Heap ride" he stalked ma jestically away.-Chicago Journal.

 "DIDN'T TT RANT"

Noah Swayne is never too weary for q song.
 Round a campfire in the Poconos he was often called on for lyric, and they tell me his enunciation of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic was so clear that, like George White field preaching, he could be heard a mile away.
 But he sang once too often last summer. For after he had sung "The Battle Hymn" his hearers would not rest content till he gave them Harry Burleigh's rolheking ballad, Didn't It Rainp
 Whereupon a competent witness informs me, it promptly began to rain, and it rained for 90 days, till Noah began to think that, like his namesake, he would have to build an ark in place of his beloved motor boat.
 It rained till the children canoed over the teps of the dock; and Mr. Swayne now has q reputation as a professional rainmaker second to none.-Philadelphia Public Ledger

ONLY CHANGE IS IN METHOD
Human Race as "Pugnacious" Today as 1t Was in the Times of
 the Old Romans.

The word ''pugnacity" is pat reminder of the short and simple way of doing things. When an old Roman was disposed to be quarrel some he went at 1t by the direct method of using his fist, or S'pug- nus" Hence s'pugno"-I fight.
 It will be seen that the word "pugnacious" is closely allied to our modern phrase of the boxing ring or the alley; Handy with his fists. 7"
 The next time you are disposed to be quarrelsome in the modern way of being argumentatiye, remem- Der the origin of the word "pug- nacious.n The method of being pugnacious has varied somewhat un- der the influence of police regula- tions and the higher conception of individual rights. Most of the time we substitute bitter words for hard fists But the principle is the same, and 1t Is a savage desire to knock the other fellow down.-Chicago Journal

HARVARD BOYS ARE CAREFUL
Justice of Cambridge (Mass) Criml- nal Court Corrects an Impression
 Too Generally Held.

am constantly asked about the dealings of the Criminal court in Cambridge with the students in Harvard college, and my reply is frequently met with obvious skepti- cism. The simple fact is that for a good many years Harvard college has been a wholly negligible factor in the work of the court, writes Charles Amy, justice of the Cam bridge District court, in the Boston Transcript.
 Students occasionally get into some trouble over the operation of automobiles, which no man can own and operate without sooner or later coming in conflict with the criminal law, but their misdoings even in this respect are trifing matters. They economize on garage fees by leaving their cars standing all night in the street; they are careless about their lights and in many oth- CT ways, but they do not appear be- fore the court for the really serious matters, such as operating reckless ly under the influence of liquor. The ordinary offenses which are as- soeiated in the public mind with students, such as drunkenness or disorderly conduct, are almost un- known.

FEW ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS.

Owing to the excellent system of inspection by the municipality of New York and the insurance com panies. the accident record of the $500 elevators in that city is very small.

recent emergency housing laws. to-
gether with the latest interpretations
OF these acts, has been edited by
Edgar J. Lsuer. justice OF the Mu
nicipal Court. and Victor House. As
sistant United States Attorney Of the
Southern District OF New York, under
the title The Tenant and His Land
lord" Baker. Voorhis & Co. are the
publishers.
The authors have avoided technical
phrsseology as far as was possible
The book is intended for the layman
who has problems to solve as well as
for lawyers. There are plenty OF foot
notes which will appeal to members
OF the legal profession.
A feature OF the book which will be
widely appreciated is a concise emu
merstion and summary OF the emer-
gency laws at present operative with
the text of those laws printed for ref
erence in the appendix These laws
were originally passed on April 1.
1920. were amended in the fall Of
1890. and were again amended in the
spring OF 1921. The result has been
to create a widespread and very nat
ural confusion in regard TO their
present text and effect.
