    Wellknown Publicity Man
Now With Dort Motor Co.
H. S. Daniels, whose notable pub
licity and advertising work In behalf
of the Kissel-Kar during the last five
years has attracted wide attention,
has been selected by the Dooley-Bren
nan Company to manage their new
branch In Detroit.
Daniels Is the man who has coined
so many effective trade names and
standing phrases for Kissel, such as
"All-Year Car," "Hundred Point Six,"
"Double Six" and others, but it is the
uniform excellence of his letters to
dealers and newspapers that has
made him best known to the In
dustry.
The engagement of Mr. Daniels
v>ame as the result of a recent confer
ence of the Dort Motor Car Company's
sales and advertising forces, at which
General Sales Manager John D. Mans
field asserted that no car manufacturer
In this country had as yet established
anything like perfect co-operation
with the dealer.
Hugl> Brennan, of Doolev-Brennan
Company, which handles the Dort ad
vertising, agreed with Mansfield. So
did George W. Franklin, Dort dealer
in Detroit. The subject was discussed
In detail and It was suggested that
Daniels, If he could be obtained, was
tho right man to put the desired re
forms into effect.
Negotiations were started and, as
a consequence, Mr. Daniels will as
sume the management of the branch
on May 1. He will work In close
touch with the Dort factory at Flint,
and with George W. Franklin in De
troit. The striking success of Mr.
Franklin in selling Dort cars has
been due in large measure to attract
ive features of salesmanship and serv
ice. To these Mr. Daniels will add his
ideas and together it Is hoped to cre
ate a complete plan of publicity,
sales and service that will prove of
unusual value to every Dort dealer In
the country.

Take a glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys if bladder bothers
you.
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat
excites the kidneys, they become
overworked; get sluggish; clog up
and cause all sorts of distress, par
ticularly backache and misery in the
kidney region; rheumatic twinges,
severe headaches, acid stomach, con
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
lew days and your kidneys will then
act tine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithla, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the unne so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent
lithiawater drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary or
gans clean! thus avoiding serious kid
ney disease. —Advertisement.

OFFICIAL CHECK
ON COST FACTS
Oregon College Pair Make Re
port on Figures New
Buyers Seek
How much money for operating
upkeep need the automobile o\v>ner
expect to invest in running his car
after he has bought it? (
In an effort to be of definite aid to
thousands of men and women who
are balancing this question against
their check books, Milton J. and Mrs.
Miriam Thayer Seeley, the latter a
professor in the Oregon Agricultural
College, Corvallis, Oregon, have com
pleted a double transcontinental au
tomobile drive, involving 9,700 miles,
and have just put together for the
public generally what is believed to
be the most enlightening and com
plete table of authoritative statis
tics ever assembled on costs of
motoring in the United States.
The table, which Is to be put on
file with motor clubs throughout the
country at once, is of great value to
men because of the figures it cites,
while women will be much interest
ed in the knowledge that Mrs. Seeley
kept the books on the long trip.
Driving a Maxwell touring car, the
Oregon fact-hunters traveled from
the Pacific coast, in Oregon, to Bos
ton, Mass., and then returned to the
Pacific over a different route. The
total of their expenses, this Including
not only the car's upkeep In gaso
line, oil and repairs, but the cost of
food in camping out, was surprising
—5275.47.
Every condition of travel was en
countered, observed and statistics
kepjt on it. All cost details, as it was
felt these are sought by the intending
motorcar owners, are given in the
official tabulation.
The table accurately gives. Pro
fessor Seeley asserts, a statement of
facts as to his Maxwell's operating
economy and he is convinced that
the record is sufficient to satisfyingly
reinforce this car's championship of
the industry in low operating ex
pend:
The salient point in an analysis of
this table, which shows car repair
costs of $3.50 for the run East, and
$10.50 for the 5,200 miles back to
the coast, and the factor in motor
ing that the buyer tries hardest to
put his finger on, is that in the 10,000
miles, which constitute a good sea
son's mileage for most drivers, it is
shown that the Maxwell owner can
expect to keep his car in repair for
approximately $1 a month, the total
cost for oar repairs having been only
sl4. The long trip likewise upheld
the Maxwell's reputation for upward
of twenty miles on a gallon of gaso
line in daily service, it is shown,
while the expenditures for Jubricant
prove that the car goes approximate
ly 150 miles to the quart of cylinder
oil.
Indicative of the spread of the mo
torcar's usefulness, the table also
makes plain the revelation that the
automobile no longer is a luxury, but
is to be accepted as an economic ne
cessity, these tourists having cross
ed the United States both ways by
automobile at a cost more than SIOO
less than would have been required
in fares alone had the distance been
covered by rail.
Hup Reports Increase
With Material Scarcity
"Even with all the difficulties en
countered with the material market
and the freight car situation, the
business of the Hupp Motor Car Cor
poration for the first quarter of 1917
broke all records for the company,"
says Lee Anderson, vice-president in
charge of, the commercial division.
"More cars were produced and
shipped by the Hupp company dur
ing the first quarter of 1917 than at
any other similar period. This is
remarkable considering the fact that
our production was reduced by the
difficulty in getting raw material in
to Detroit, due to freight embargoes
in the various sections of the coun
try, and that shipments were handi
capped by the freight car shortage.
Like other companies, we were forc
ed for weeks to drive to dealer terri
tories a large part of our product
that the demand might in some
measure be met. But even with all
these drawbacks, the—company en
joyed the biggest winter quarter of
its history.
"Shipments for January and March
were larger than any corresponding
months of previous years. February
was slightly under 1916, but this was
due entirely to inability to ship, the
freight situation becoming most
acute during February.
"That the country is demanding
more cars of the Hupmobile type
than ever before is evidenced by the
fact that even with the record
breaking business, we have still fail
ed to fill our orders and the month
of March found us with over 1,800
orders for machines for immediate
shipment carried over. The demand
comes from no particular section of
the . country, but is universal and
every one of our distributors is con
stantly demanding more machines
and insisting upon increasing his
allotment.
"With our increased production
for 1916 and 1917, we and the Hup
mobile distributor figured that it
would bo good business to carry a
large number of machines in storage
both at the factory and at the dis
tributing points ready for the spring
rush with the opening of the big
spring business. Unfortunately, how
ever, the demand all winter was con
tinud at such a. pace that we have
not been able to carry out our stor
age plans and the first of April found
us without the desired supply, sole
ly dependent on current production.
"Our dealers were in the same po
sition and those that had planned to
have an adequate supply of machines
on hand for the opening of the sea
son find themselves not only with
out these cars, but unable to obtain
sufficient machines for immediate
delivery, and increasing demand is
dally piling up orders faster than the
factory can build cars.
"The whole situation has resolved
itself into tjyj old one so Well known
in the early days of the industry
when it was necessary for the pur
chaser to place his order far in ad
vance In order to get a delivery."

The promoters of the plan have
received an unqualified endorsement
of the value of the motorcycle in
military organization from the war
department. Ralph A. Hayes, pri
vate secretary to Secretary of War
Baker, in an answer to a letter writ
ten to Secretary Baker outlining the
plan for the organization of motor
cycle volunteers, says:
"Doubtless in case the present
crisis should unhappily become more
acute, the services of motorcyclists
would be very necessary and valu
able. The experience of the con
tending forces on the other side of
the ocean demonstrates that motor
cycle forces can and must be used
for service which would be less satis
