The Bloomfield team, fresh from
a victory over the Amboy team here
Sunday, will battle with the Aque-
hongas next Sunday. AS the Totem
Vile team has defeated the Amboy
nine by a larger score than that
made by the Bloomfield team sun
day. a victory for the Aquehongas
should be in order. But that proves
nothing after all, for there is often
a miss in the best laid plans.

current issue of the Chandler bulle-

the Chandler Motor Car company will
award a series of prizes for the best
photographs of beautiful scenes or in
experiences encountered while
touring in Chandler cars which have
long been recognized as the most de-
pendable for tours, especially where
there are difficult roads and steep hills.

or forwards and its ease Of control"
The early electric vehicles had q
range of 25 miles without %recharging
the batteries. The principal objection
to the gasoline car was its odor. as the
gasoline consumed in those early days
was not Of the modern type and the
,carburetion Of the motors was such
that the fuel was only partially con.
sumed. Vibration was another objec-
ton and the awful noise of this was
before the days of mufflers.
Winton a Pioneer
Alexander Winton is credited with
having marked the transition of gaso-
line automobile building in this country
from the experimental stage to that of
commercial manufacture, for in 1898
Winton manufactured and sold no less
than 81 cars of the type OF his third
model. In that year the Haynes-Ap-
person output was only five cars and
the Stearns output only six; and the
Duryea brothers had separated and
started all over again.
Other competitors who had made be-
ginnings by 1893 were r. e. Odds, who
had organized the Odds Motor Vehicle
works in 1895 but had made practically
no Roadway beyond the successful op-

FORD DEALERS SOLD
5,709 MACHINES
DAY DURING JUNE
Records Disclose New Record
for Total Sales; $4,000
Men in Detroit Factory.

Retail sales Of Ford cars. trucks and
tractors established a new high record
during June, when, according to a
statement issued from the Ford fac
tory at Detroit, an average of 800
machines were sold daily.
Ford sales have been showing a con-
slant increase each month this year.
June being the highest in the history of
the company with a total of 14S,439
cars, trucks and tractors. OF this
number. 6,O54 were sold by the Ford
company Of Canada and 9.435 by the
various European Ford companies and
South American branches. reaching
purchasers in virtually every civilized
country in the world.
With the closing Of business for
June, Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six months
of 1922 were we'll over the half mil
lion mark. the exact figures being 652,-
261. This is also a new high record
as it is considerably in advance of any
previous half-year period.
July Ford sales were expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June. The
estimated output of ears, trucks and
tractors was placed at 1867, al
though dealers requisitioned more than
100000.
Ford officials say that every attempt
has been made to supply their dealers
with sufficient cars TO fill their or
ders. but that for the past three
months prompt deliveries have been i'm
possible with some of the types. The
demand for Ford enclosed cars has
been especially hard to meet. due to
the ever-increasing popularity of the
coupe and sedan for all year around
use.

ditions is seen in the record of Ford

That we have entered a period Of
six cylinder values-in relation to prices
unlike anything in automobile history
is borne out by the keen interest in
every price announcement on skies re-
ported in all parts of the country.
There have been astonishing price re-
auctions before-but these were only
part of the ebb and flow of seasonal
business. Today the pre-war level is
no longer a standard OF Measurement.
because in notable instances prices
have gone below any pre-war level.
F. E. Bradfield, vice president of
Velie Motors corporation, says that the
announcement of a price of SIPS on
Velie Model So at the factory is one
of the most striking examples in the
Is years of car building.
The reaction from every state has
almost swept us off our feet" says
Mr.. Bradfield. 1T is true that of all

torcycle itself went by the name of
power bicycle"
while there are many advocates
of the power bicycles" a writer com
ments in 1896. 1T must be said that
the bicycle riders do not as a rule an
ticipate any great development from it.
The great army of bicycle riders will
not take kindly to the idea of sitting
idly in the saddle and merely balanc-
ing the machine while the motor does
the work"
War Use Phophesied
Even in the early days Of the in
dustry the advantage of the motor car
for war was recognized. Here is an
extract from an early review of the
motor car industry:
Think of the advantages in speed
OF marching and transportation that
would be enjoyed by an army equipped
with bicycles and motor vehicles"
Everybody rode a bicycle in the DAVIS
preceding the Spanish Am erican war
and few could see where the motor
vehlcle would put the cycle in the
background.
While there is small probability"
the writer says, that the motor We
hlcle will displace the bicycle in popular
favor. it is not unlikely to encroach
on the territory of the street car and
become in some degree a competitor
of the railroad"
A selection from a magazine Of 1896:
The motor carriage has shown a
capacity of 20 miles per hour over ia
vorable roads. With improvements.
the builders expect to attain a speed
on level stretches Of as high as q
miles per hour"
IS Per Hour Too Fast
The comment in Blackwoods maya
zine of February of 1896 reflects the
general attitude of the public toward
fast driving:
we do not want a speed of Is miles
per hour on our roads for ordinary
traffic, but this feat shows what a
motor car can do on OCCASION"
The ideal carriage will come in its
" good time. declared another critic.

The automobile industry is still in
it's infancy. yet it is hard to realize
the remarkable strides which have
been taken by automotive engineers
within the last score of years, says
the San Francisco Examiner in pub
fishing some early accounts of accom-
plishmen in the various fields of the
industry.
On June II. 1895. II motor cars, or
horseless carriages as they were known
at that time, competed in a race from
Paris to Bordeaux and return, a dis
lance of 726 miles. There were $4,000
in prizes and the winning car averaged
IL miles an hour, negotiating the dis
lance in 4S hours 43 minutes.
A writer in McClure's of July, 1896,
comments as follows on the race:
"This demonstrated conclusively the
power of motor vehicles to cover long
distances at high rates of speed, for
it is plain that neither horse nor BIZ
cycle could accomplish such n feat"
In a second race between Paris and
Rouen. a distance of so miles, the win
ming car flashed" across the finish
line in 5 hours 40 minutes. Two stops
Of Is minutes each were necessary for
repairs en- route.
F~orecasting the Jitney
The "%jitney' of today was forecast
in an article in the Cosmopolitan Of
September. 1896. 1t read:
The horseless carriage promises by
its cheapness of operation to give a
vehicle which can be brought to the
curb of the street to receive passen-
gers. 1t thus promises to do away
with the jerky, overcrowded cable and
electric cars"
ECONOMY was an imnortent feature
of the cars Of the early days. The
Duryea wagon which won the first
prize in the Chicago race consumed in
an extraordinary hard run of "a miles
only 80 gallons of gasoline, which cost
20 cents.
1t is interesting to note that when a
prize was offered for the best name to
describe the new horseless carriage
that the prize was awarded for the
word motorcycle" BY this name the
earlier vehicles were known. The mo

81 per cent over last year. Merchants
ana armers alike have come to recog-
nlze the utility Of the motor truck in
cutting transportation costs and speed
ing up deliveries, and the fact that
they are buying nearly twice as many
now as a year ago clearly points to
better business conditions.
At the present time, Ford is en-
ploying $4,000 men in Detroit.

There is no place." the speaker
continued, "for an invisible empire

conyicting or furnishing citizens. A
secret organization for such purposes
is reprchensible Notwithstanding the
avowals OF its members that they
have sworn to uphold the Constitu

ais and such oaths cannot defeat the
Just charge that these organizations
are conspiracics against law and gov

There Is not the slightest question

py. He now placed beautiful ring
on Helen's finger, kissed her cheek,
then took leave Of his promised wife.
Helen was happier the next two
weeks than she had ever been in
her life. She was happy In the sweet
thought that Harold and she would
never be separated, and very happy
that he had reformed.
How all her hopes were to be
blasted! for the two weeks had
scar cely passed until Harold called
on her again. What do you think?
Under the influence Of drink! No
wonder Helen turned her head when
he offered to kiss her, and shrank
from his touch. She was too shocked
and heart-sick to say anything eX-
cnpt, Harold, how could you?'
Slowly she pulled the ring from
her finger and handed it to him with
these words: "EIere is your ring;
al is up between us. Never cous,
marry you, because you love strong
drink better than you do me. Co
and go at once! Never come back!"
Harold took the ring and went
stupidity out the door, hardly real
izing what had happened until the
next day when he became fully con-
scious, then he was wild with worry.
Quickly dressing. he went to Helen's
home. He did not wait for admit
tance, but pushed open the door and
walked in. Just as he got in the
hall he met face to face with Helen.
Harold, why are you here again?"
she asked
Because" answered Harold, "it
was impossible to stay away any
longer under such worry and sus-
pense Helen, won't you give me
just one more chance?"
"No; the same thing would hap
Fen again. am afraid to try. You
must CO." she said, waving her hand
| toward the open door. Then she sat
down on chair nearby.
Harold went few steps toward
| the door, then stopped and asked,
May | put this ring back on your
finger?"
She only shook her head.
He turned as If mad, and said, "I
don't want this old ring; want
you" With this he knelt down at
her feet and plead his case moro
earnestly than ever. At first Helen
refused to give him another chance,
then she relcnted and allowed him
once more to place the ring on her
finger.
When they separated that day tney
were happy-to be troubled no more
by drink.
| And such happiness they had in
alter years during their married life.
