BIRTH
Organized ~ Years Ago in
Lansing, Mich; Helped
Build Industry

This past week the automobile
industry celebrated its twenty.
seventh anniversary and started its
ltwenty.eighth year Of production,
when. on August 81, Odds Motor
Works, the first company to pro-
duce automobiles commercially, had
completed twenty.seven years Of
successful manufacture Of motor
cars.
The Olds Motor Works, founded
August 81, 1897, was the first auto
mobile company established in
Michigan now the center of the
industry. The first building devoted
to the manufacture Of motor
vehicles in Michigan was started
in Lansing in 1898. The original
building still stands as the nucleus
about which the vast Oldsmobile
plants are grouped today.
Away back in 1895 and 1895,
when the "horseless carriage" was
mentioned in the press as some.
body's wild dream" a young man
by the name of Ransome L. Olds
was tinkering around in his fathers
gasoline engine shop on River
street in Lansing, Mich, trying
to make one Of his fathers engines
drive a carriage on which young
Odds had been working after hours
for many months. With success
attained, young Odds INCORPORATED

on August 81, 1897, with himself as
principal stakeholder, and at the
first meeting Of the board of di.
rectorS, Odds was empowered to

quotation being taken from the
minutes verbatim.
This first complete vehicle, fin
1shed in 1898, is now permanently
housed in the Smithsonian Institu.

| The following year the company

! name and started manufacturing
the one-cylinder curved dash Merry
| Oldsmobile,' made famous in pic
ture and song. The success of the
curved dash car can be Judged from
the fact that 1,400 were mada and

experience in the vehicle and auto

1900 he spent year in Europe

automobile industry abroad; and in
1902 returned to Michigan and or

District tourists passing

POINCARE METHODS

Forming of New Ministry Without

PARIS, April 5.-Premier Poincare
deepened the mystery of how he gets
through his work when he formed
his new ministry last week. At noon
Of the second day of the cabinet
crisis the premier had received az
the Quai D'Orsay only two of his
old colleagues and two new possible
candidates, one of whom had de-
clined to serve and the other reserved
decision.
French journalists who have been
following cabinet making for years
began to shake their heads, remark
ing: 1T is not going at all we'll:
Poincare has only two certainties for
the new combination and they are
holdovers." A few minutes later the
semi official French news agency
made public n list of probable choices
for the cabinet, which turned out to
be correct.
Experienced specialists in parlia-
mentary reporting were at a loss to
account for the manner in which
they had been eluded. The premier
dislikes the telephone quite as much
as the typewriter and stenography,
and could not, in their opinion, have
conducted his negotiations overnight
by wire. The explanation will prob
ably be one of the disclosures that

that the age he gave was an attempt
