12 Women Auloists to Aid In Event of German War To take care of women and children Erst in the event of an invasion. Gov ernor McCall, of Massachusetts, has heen offered the. use of 1,000 light au tomobiles and the services of a large corps of trained women drivers. The formation of this auxiliary brigade was undertaken by a prominent mo torist at the suggestion of -women drivers and is the direct outcome of the motor car mobilization in the East last spring and summer during the preparedness campaign. As soon as a rupture with Germany became a certainty, otters of cars and drivers began coming in to C. S. Hen shaw. Dodge Brothers dealer in Uos ton, and owing to the number of women drivers who volunteered, it was decided after conference with the authorities that the most useful serv ice to which a reserve corps might be turned would be the removal of wom en and children from any threatened area, practically every other branch of activity having been covered in plans already made. It is the purpose of this reserve corps to work in connection with the women's organizations now preparing for active service and it is expected that in the course of the next few days several hundred more women will be enrolled. Some of these women are already expert enough to act as emergency mechanicians with the women's divi sion, thus releasing for actual military service a number of men drivers who would otherwise be unavailable. Although only 1,000 Dodge Broth ers cars were offered to the Governor Mr. Henshaw states that from infor mation already at hand he would be able to supply two or three times that number of cars and drivers if called upon. Mr. Henshaw was the leading spirit in the previous motor car mo bilizations. / 5-Passenger Touring $695 3-Passenger Clover Leaf Road ster $695 Ensminger Motor Co. THIRD AXD CUMBERLAND STS.

A. MOSHER F. A. Mosher, local manager of the 1 Fisk Rubber Company branch, has I just returned to the city after a week I or so spent in conference at the Fisk j Rubber Company's plant located at Chicopee Falls, Mass. Representatives of every State in j the Union were among the 150 branch i and district managers who attenc&d 1 this sales conference. An elaborate ; four-day program extending from | February 12 to 16, kept the visitors busy every hour of each day. A trip j through the immense thirty-acre I plant of this big tire manufactory was enjoyed by every conference delegate and the process of tire making was observed Jirst hand through every I step from the crude rubber to the j finished product. The daily sessions of the conference were, crowded with excellent address es by the various department heads, 'j These served to acquaint the field or ; ganization not only with the men j themselves who are at the head of j departments but also brought every I visitor into a better understanding of j the work of each unit of the vast Fisk organization. Sales and advertising plans for j 191" were carefully gone over and other pertinent subjects were taken up such as manufacturing, insurance and banking, system, credits and col lections, all applied in tlieir relation to the betterment of Fisk service and the broadening of the Fisk plans for even greater distribution of the Fisk product than is enjoyed at present. One important subject brought up in the addresses and in the informal discussions of this conference was that of ways and means to improve and expand the Fisk free service policy which is now available at every one of the 12" Fisk branches located throughout the United States. Fisk free service is already in a class by itself, for it really means what it is called—free service. It means that at any Fisk branch in the country, any autoist, no matter where he is from, nor what make of car he drives, nor what tire he uses, may drive in and have his tires and tubes changed, re assembled, inflated or inspected en tirely free of charge. Mr. Mosher states that this Fisk conference was by far the best arrang ed and the most complete of any he has ever attended. While all the con ference delegates enjoyed the experi ence of meeting together once more, there was also a highly instructive value to the conference which will un doubtedly help in the boosting of Fisk sales throughout 1917 and improving the already popular Fisk free serv ice. Postmasters Know Which Is Most Beautiful Car When the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company announced its new models I under the caption "The Most Beauti j ful Car in America." President Harry | M. Jewett declared that the slogan had j been presented to the Paige by the j public. How well justified Mr. Jewett was in this statement seems to be proved by an innocent little postal card, that arrived at the Paige fac tory the other day. The card was mailed from the small town of Charleston, West Virginia, on Feb ruary 12. It was addressed simply: Foreign Sales Manager "The Most Beautiful Car in America" L*. S. A. There was no individual s name, no company name, no town, no state, yet the card was delivered at the Paige factory February 13. First the postmaster in the little town of Charleston had recognized the meaning of the address and sent the card on its way to Detroit. Again, the postal officials in Detroit had rec ognized it and sent it on its way to the Paige factory. I If that is not evidence that the slo i gan is known and that its application is understood, Mr. Jewett wants to know what is. Aviation Expert a Successful Motorcar Saleswoman Mile. Helena Dutrieu, of Paris, the first woman to operate an aeroplane and famous as the holder of many long distance records in aviation, was a recent visitor to the plant of the Chalmers Motor Company. Mile. Dutrieu arrived on the steam er Espagne, which narrowly escaped being torpedoed off the coast of France. For the past year she has bad the French sales rights for Chalmers cars and has enjoyed an excellent business despite war conditions. "Since the war T have been forced to give up my active work in avia tion," said Mile. Dutrieu, in Detroit j "The French authorities do not per ! Mit the use of planes save for mili tary purposes and I have not used my plane since the first time Paris was threatened by the German army. At that time I reported for scout duty and was on active service for several weeks. "At present the French government charges seventy per cent, duty on American cars and freight charges are so high that by the time the cars are set down in Paris, they cost 100 per cent, more than factory price. In spite of this fact, I can sell all the Chalmers cars that I can get. Among my recent customers was lienri Far man. the biggest builder of aeroplanes in Europe. Mile. Marthe Chenaille, the reigning actress and beauty of Paris, also drives a Chalmer Six " Before leaving Detroit, Mile Du trieu ordered a big shipment of cars for immediate delivery to her head quarters In Paris.

ISo owner reported less than twelve miles. •A still more remarkable feature of the information handed in by the Campbell-Saxon Company - is the fact that, so far as can be learnfed, not one of the Waterloo district Peerless own el's of the Model iti has sustained any tire expense caused by blow-outs or worn out casings. In spite of many rec ords of from 8,000 to 1,0,000 miles, it Is stated that all of the owners still have their oritpnal Model 56 tires in good serviceable condition. "The Campbell-Saxon Company re J port is only one of many tributes wo have received recently concerning the economical performance of the Med el 56 Peerless Eight," says Robert J. Sohmunk, sales manager of tho Peer less Motor Car Company. "In all of my automobile experbenre I have never known -of a so-called small, lightcar showing betted records than those of the Model 56 for either gaso line or tire economy, fnd the Peer less Model 56 is in no sense what is iopularly known as the small light car. It is a big roomy, substantial car with real class demonstrated in every one of its lines. "As a rule, the big expensive look ing automobiles prove expensive to maintain. That is why the Peerless product, in our oplni6n. occupies a unique position in the industry. It has all the style and class of the coun try's most exclusive product and at the same time affords the maximum performance at minimum expense. The Peerless ICtght Is not only built to satisfy the discriminating buyer who insists on costly appearance, but it is built for elflclency and economy. "An eight cylinder car of real merit, in all its details, which will give an average gasoline mileage of 14 : Si miles for each gallon of gasoline consumed, is surely economical from the fuel standpoint. If it Is so constructed that it rides well on wheels, thereby as suring the minimum wear on the tires, it is even more desirable to .the average buyer. That is why the 'de mand for Peerless Kights is Increas ingy by tho proverbial leiyps and i bounds." FEBRUARY 24, 1917.
