Horse.and- Carriage Days Due for Comeback?

Unless the war should Unexpectedly
end soon, the United States is going
back to the days when few cars were on
the roads. The automobile became gen.
orally available to Americans when Henry
Ford began to make a low-priced car.
(The first Fords were manufactured al
most entirely in the Dodge Bros. machine
shops0 For several years Fords sold for
well over a thousand dollars, but in 1909,
when only about 10000 were sold. the
price of the model T went below that
sum. In 1910, the price was cut to $3.50.
In 1915 it was down to $40; almost
285 900 new model T's were sold. In
1920 new model rs were selling for
$40; more than q million were sold.
In 1923 the price Of model rs was

actually cut to $295, and over two mil
lion were sold. SIS per cent Of all new
cars. But by 1927, when the fifteen
millionth model T rolled of the as
sembly line, the public had become dis
satisfied with its planetary transmission,
and Ford sales were only one-third Of
the total. In that year production of
model T ceased. In 1927 and 1928 some
thing like the situation in 1912 occurred,
because many car owners, unable to get
delivery of the new model A, were either
nursing decrepit cars along or else were
doing temporarily without automobile
transportation.
In 1920 the number of passenger cars
registered in the United States was still
less than one for every three families.
Only per cent Of the highways, exclud-

ing city streets, had high-type surfaces,
and only an additional 13 per cent were
surfaced at all. Today about 40 per cent
are high-type surfaced and IS per cent
low-type surfaced.
In 1899, 1,l83000 bicycles were pro-
duced in the United States. In 1914
the figure fell to 1900, in 1925 to s03,-
900, in 1891 to 100000. Then bicycling
came back, and the number Of bicycles
produced rose to 657,0oo in 1885, and
1,253,o00 in 1889, greater than in 1899.
The average price was about the same
in 1899 ds 40 years before.
Horse-drawn vehicles have had no
such comeback, although one may now
be expected. The total number pro-
duced WAS 256,000 in 1928; 100000 In
1885, and only $4,000 IN 1899.

speedily that it was all Madisons horse
could do to keep him out of the hands
of the enemy.
Armstrong fled to Baltimore and re-
signed. But the new Secretary Of War
continued to exercise command, devils
ing all the campaign plans in the second
year Of the war and transmitting them
with the Presidents approval to the mill
tary commanders. The confusion which
resulted is almost unparalleled in mill
tary history.
President Polk during the Mexican
War expressed his attitude toward the
exercise of his military functions in the
statement that he found it impossible
to give much attention to the details in
conducting the war"
Lincoln, however, finding the war go
ing badly and convinced that Gen. Nc
Clellan was not doing an adequate job,
ripped right into the military domain,
visited and advised the military leaders
in the field, overruled Mcclellan in the
peninsular campaign and issued various
orders directing specific military oper-
ations. After he had put Grant at the
head OF the Union Armies, however, he
was satisfied that he had found the man
who could win the war, and he inter-
fered no more.
Authority Undisputed Since.
But Lincoln had established the mil
itary authority of the Chief Executive,
and since then it has been undisputed.
Never since then. however, has it been
so extensively used. Mckinley in the
Spanish American War was unaggres-
siye, and seems to have taken no part in
military decisions.
In the conduct of the World War, Will
son exercised his great powers almost
exclusively in the control Of foreign
affairs and the mobilization of the eco
nomic resources. He had no military
background and stayed pretty well out
Of the military picture. He intervened
on only two occasions-to send expedi-
tions to Siberia and Archangel. His con-
siderations then were diplomatic, rather
than military.
President Roosevelt's position as COM
mander in chief is more complex than
that of any of the other war Presidents
With simultaneous, world wide opera
tions of the Army. the Navy and the
forces of the United Nations in progress,
questions of general strategy are numer-
GUS and recurring Where great issues
arise, all final decisions must be left
up to him.
While the extent to which he Is parti-
cipating in military planning is neces-
sarily military secret, it is known that
he holds almost daily conferences with
the Army and Navy top command has
weekly meetings at the White House Of
the Pacific War Council and reads
literally bales of War and Navy Depart
ment dispatches. Those who know him
say that he keeps minutely informed as
to all military and naval operations.
An Aggressive Temperament.
While friends doubt that he would
override the Judgment of his profess
sional military advisers except under
extremely unusual circumstances, they
are confident of one thing: That he will
constantly insist on courses of action as
aggressive as possible. He has been q
man of action all his life His tempera-
ment is such that he is not satisfied
unless he sees something being accom-
plished.

Moment

The salesladies tell me they get
awfully mad at women who take of
wrong side out all the dresses they
try on.
OF course, this works two ways.
Sometimes the women buying
dresses get awfully mad at the sales
ladies for skipping out on them Just
as they reach the hooks and eyes in
the middle of the back.
Peeling dresses of 50 that they
are wrong side out is somehow easier
than peeling dresses of any other
way. But 1t Is harder to straighten
out the dress afterward. Conse-
quently, most women 60 on the
theory that when there is some
one else to pick up and hang the
dresses. they may as well do it the
easy way. But when they have to
pick up after themselves, they are
more careful.
But I'm willing to make q bar
gain with the saleslady.. If she II
stick around when I need help get

things, I'll take the dresses of right

Orange" Is an adjective which
when used in this sense just nat
urally modifies marmelade. II you
like to make your own. this is the
season when you can do 1t to ad-

There are several methods which
may be used. One of these is very
easy and results are good. but your
marmalade will not look quite SO
attractive in the glasses as when
the method which demands that
the fruit rind be cut into thin strips
Is used.
Because our oranges do not have
the pungent flavor Of the Seville
oranges, which are commonly used
in England for marmalade, the
home product will be milder in
flavor. If you like the tang. you
may combine grapefruit, oranges
and lemons.
In cooking your fruit and sugar
together, the mixture must be stir
red until the sugar is dissolved and
then frequently as the sirup thick

people really like. You must take

seeing a lot of each other, the boy
can hardly be expected to suggest
some new and exciting place to go
every time they have q date. But he
certainly shouldn't always leave the
entire responsibility of choosing the
evenings entertainment to the girl
The ideal course here is for him to
make a suggestion or two and then
ask her for her ideas. After that
they can reach a decision together.
Every girl likes to be treated with
consideration, but no girl admires a
boy who is weak willed, undecided
and indefinite Oh, she may take
advantage Of him, just as many a
nagging wife takes advantage Of a
too easygoing husband. But she will
neither admire nor respect him.
Most girls want a boy to take the
initiative in their dealings with him.
It's feminine human nature to let
the man lead. and even when q girl
Is striving her hardest to boss" q
boy, she is instinctively and uncon-
sciously hoping that he'll turn the
tables and show his ability to boss
her.
The kind of consideration that q
girl wants doesn't spring from mas
culine weakness, but from masculine
strength. It isn't shown because the
boy is afraid of the girl. or because
he wants her to take the lead or
make the decisions. It's shown be-
cause the boy likes the girl and
wants to make her comfortable and
happy.

burn. The use OF q heavy kettle
will help to prevent this.
Marmalade may be packed in
either glasses or jars. The glasses
must be covered with parafiin, while
this may be omitted II your jars are
tightly covered. Always let the
marmalade cool slightly before put
ting it into the containers in order
that the fruit will not float and
will be evenly distributed.
