II. as statesmen claim. IL Is the
woman who generally has the last
word on selecting a new car, Ford
is in for a great year, because the
new 1912 Ford VS. and six hit a
new high in feminine appeal.
From the massive new front end
10 the smartly tapered rear, beauty
and smartness are built right into
the new FordS. Long, graceful
tenders with new streamlining and
a long, flowing hood add to the
effect.
Lines are lower and wider. be-
cause the frame has been dropped
one inch TO give a lower center of
gravity for easier control and be-
cause the tread has been widened.
The body flares out gracefully TO
conceal the running boards.
Inside the 1912 Fords there Is
new beauty, too. The art Of the
interior decorator has produced
gay. harmonious two-tone effects
in upholstery fabrics and in combi-

fabrics with the leather effects
which adorn door facings and arm

be stimulated by the industrial
boom resulting from var abroad
and rearrnament at home. In the
fire and marine group, those com

greatest gains because Of the reduc-
ton Of English competition for this

Investment Earnings Up
Investment returns, on which in
surancc dividends are based,
should be well maintained as it
seems improbable that interest
rates will drop much further, and
dividends on stocks held in insur-
ance portfolios should at least be
maintained at levels prevailing in
1910.

C~oncurrently, banks have been
taking a leaf out Of the book OF the
specialized financing organizations
and finding a profitable source OF
income in newly established small
