the answer before you start!
Poorer Material.
Fact is. the handmade article i.
not as well made, does not contain
| as good material, while cost of re.
pairs and replacements arc vastly
more. for the reason that no hand
changeable in its parts, not at any
price within he reach OF millionaire
Il Will give you simple example
that proves why.
Some years ago a big manufacturer
for whom L was working, asked
| What is the supreme test to which
the most skilled machinist, too
maker, can be putt
ITO make a one-inch cube of steei
within one-thousandth OF an inch
accuracy in all its dimensions wa.
the reply
Forthwith, he went into the shop
and put all the tool-rakers to this
seemingly simple test
"Of twenty-seyen men, one was able
in the next two days to make cube
that was accurate within ono thous
andth OF an inch.
Fine Degree of Accurary.
"Now. we have a machine In ~
Rick enbacker plant that can Inr1As
ont million such cubes to ten thous-
andths of an inch accuracy-and to
4 hundredth thousand OF an inch, j,
necessary,
There is the difference between
the handmade automobile and a ma
chine made product.
ut would be a waste OF time to use
a skilled machinist to make every
part, when that same skilled ma
chinst can apply his talents to max
ing one machine that will make one
million parts more accurately than
he could possibly make them by hand.
: Besides. he could never make any
two exactly alike-absolutely inter
changeable.
Had Big Advantage.
"Of course, it must be admitted
that we had one tremendous advan
tage over all other countries in de-
veloping the American automobile.
We had a universal purchasing
power such as no other country can
look to. or even imagine.
1.-The European engineer designs for
a favored few who can pay any price.
There is no incentive for him to pro
duce standardized product at low
er price for the multitude. because
there is no multitude of buyers there
at any price.
He might have, and in some cases
has, tried for the American market
but he is temperamentally united 70
compete with US on our own ground.
In fact, American engineers and
production experts have found il i'm
possible to transplant our methods To
Europe and achieve the same effici-
ency or quality there because of that
same temperamental limitation
Seems as If our methods thrive in,
even live on, the outgrowth of demo
cratic form of government.
"And while Europe may sincerely
try, she can never understand or sue
cessfully apply either.
Building vast numbers Of cars for
a vast multitude of American buyers,
We are able, with our overflow, TO
supply the other and more limited
markets of the world with car of
such quality. and at such a price,
that in competition, is the despair OF
European makers"

DISCUSSES MOTOR CYCLE,
Traffic Chief Urges Dealers Aid
Speeder War.

At a recent convention OF motor
cycle dealers at Portland, ore, r. a.
Rafferty,, chief of the Oregon state
traffic department, gave them talk
on law and order, He brought to
their attention the fact that the state
officers receive many complaints about
motor cycle riders, mainlyl because
a few persist in fiagrant violation of
the law. He asked the dealers to CO.
operate with the officers in remedying
this condition so that it would not be
necessary for the authorities to bear
down harshly on all motor cycle
were responsible for the present con-
dition.
1t is largely a question Of educa-
ton. and it is the dealers duty to
cooperate with the state officials by
educating his customers to obey the
traffic laws and ever keep them in
mind.

WRONG WAY TO BRAKE.
Use of Engine and Clutch Declared
Injurious.

The habit Of using the engine and
clutch as a brake when waiting for
traffic to proceed uphill is very COM
mon and very injurious to the car in
general. The driver leaves the car in
low gear, but rather than take his
foot off the accelerator to hold the car
with the brake ne engages the clutch
just enough to make the engine keep
the car stationary.
In case of this sort the sensible
thing to do Is to keep one foot on the
service brake and feed gas from the
hand throttle, letting in the clutch
while releasing the brake as traffic
starts moving.

knowledge of any conspiracy or took

The practice of motorists in

tary, and Eugene A. Scheele; record

the nominating committee.
Addresses in Program.
The principal addresses were de-
livered by d. s. Patterson of the
board of temperance, prohibition and
public morals of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, and by Mrs. J. NJ Daw-
son of Waco, Tex.
Mr.. Pattersons subject was Law
Enforcement" He said, in part: ''The
citizen does not have the right to
choose the laws that he desires to
obey or disobey, and the officers of
the law have no right to choose the
to enforce, but it is the duty of all
citizens to obey all laws and for the
officers to enforce all laws. We are not
worried by criminals alone, as the only
class of people who break the law" he
continued, but by many of the So
called law-abiding citizens, who feel
they have certain personal rights in
fringed upon and break the law where
they think these rights are involved -
In conclusion. he said, the cure for
lawlessness was not the passing of
more laws but stricter enforcement
of the laws that we have. He urged
every one in the District who has a
voting residence elsewhere to exercise
their rights as voters and to encourage
law enforcement.
Mrs. Dawson chose as her subject
''They that are wise shall shine as the
brightness of the armament, and they
that turn many to Righteousness shall
shine as the stars, forever and for
ever" and said, 1.-The main thing in all
OF mans work. is winning souls to
Jesus Christ"
Following upon the recommendations
of the resolutions committee, John G..
Minor, chairman, resolutions were
adopted>4o extend thanks to Hood Col
lege and all of those who had extended
their hospitality to delegates to the
conference. Especial reference was
made to DR.. Joseph H. Appel, presf-
dent of Hood College.

Bolgiano, who died during the past
