fetal membership blanks may be
obtained at the Titus Motor COM
pany and Mallon Motrs Ford
dealers. The membership blank
and accompanying material con-
tain detailed information on the
contests.
w. c. Patterson, Pacific North
west branch manager of the Ford
Motor company. yesterday stated
that this major change in the
league program already has pro-
duced widespread interest, with
indications that girls are fully as
anxious as the boys to demon
strate their knowledge and skill
at handling an automobile.
Under the new rules set up by
Mr.. Ford as league president and
his national advisory board, girls
will compete in a separate divi-
sion, while the boys will also have
section of their own. There
will be no mixed contests.
As awards for the national
winners, Ford has announced that
9s scholarships will be presented
as follows, with identical awards
for both the boy and girl divi-
sions; First prize, $4,000 univer-
sity scholarship; second. prize,
$1,000 university scholarship:
third, fourth and fifth prizes,
each $500 scholarships; and the
next a. winners, 500 each.
The response to the 1910 con-
test was very gratifying and en-
couraged US to broaden the scope
Of the leagues work this year,
Patterson said. 1T is felt that
over the years the Ford Good
Drivers league can and will make
an increasingly important con-
tribution to the cause of good
driving and to increased safety
on our streets and highways"

The greatest potential reser-

The fact Is that much of the
credit extended by banks Is to

"Our own experience Is, i
believe. typical. We have APP
proximately 100000 depositors.
Last year we made some 10000
loans-at least 25 per cent to

there was large volume of
loans made to individuals who
had nothing more than good
character and q job.
statistics covering SO per

the first six months of last year
show that they made $4,000
loans to a population of 6,9O7,-

trying TO do job. In checking
with various bankers the OFF,
hand opinion is given that not
over 10 per cent of all requests
are refused.
