a heavy expenditure In preparation
to distribute them iu this territory
the Dado Automobita com pa a has
entered this field and will put In a

AMERICAN AUTOS GET
FOOTHOLD OVERSEAS
Amorlcan automobiles gained a
strong foothold in Denmark and
Austrulia when the European na
tions were so busily battling each
other that their output of cars virt
ually ceased. So well are they liked
by the inhabitants of these faraway
states that they have become almost
a necessity.
Axol Seinler and L. liech of Den
mark and II. B. Crosby of Adelaide,
South Australia, who have been re
cent visitors at Dodge Brothers
Works, Detroit, say that previous to
the war the American cars' were lit
tle known in Denmark, though they
had been sold in Australia to a lira
lted extent for ten years or more.
When the European nations ceased
making cars, howovcr, i the Danes
and Australians turned to the

of American aiHo.nobiles in theii
countries.
,, Mr. Sender said that before the
war the larger part of the automo
biles In Denmark wr.re of European
manufacture, mostly from Germany,
but that hereafter the German auto- j
mobiles, will be in dicfactor.
"We have always disliked the
Germans," he said. "They took
Schleswlg-Holstein from us in 1846.
We hope the peace conference will
right that wrons. The constant
sinking of our ships has added tc
our irritation '
"Although we have a population
of scarcely 3,000.000 persons, we
. kept an army of 100,000 during the
war to preserve our neutrality. The.
mines which the Germans set float
ing in the North Sea are now a men
ace to ships. On my trip over wc
had to anchor the riist three nights
to avoid thqs.5 dangers. One day
counted three mines within fifteen
minutes."
Mr. Crosby, who is a member ol
the national parliament of Australia,
spoke of the plan of the colony foi
caring for returned soldiers. Th
government intends tc make a loan

are not a part of th well known J.
W. Rogers Motor company of Walla
Walla, they have association with
that .company vhich Insures a
steady stock of cars for this point.
"We intend to make La Grande
our home," said Mr. Welch, "for we
have been watching this locality for
some time. It Is on" of the best in
the northwest and fc feel sure the
people are ready to buy high grade
cars. We ask a share of the busi
ness on the merits of our cars

and we are going tj demonstrate to
every automobile owner that the
cars are as good as they are re
ported to W Mr. riado and I will
handle this territory and the Bade

CAPACITY OF THE HAYNES
AUTO CO. TO BE INCREASED
The capacity output of the Haynen
Automobile Compnuy, Kokomo, In
(liuna, will be Increased to 15,000
cars annually, according to planj
which were decided upon at a rSconl
meeting or tin directors of the com
pany. To make this huge expansion
possible the directors voted to con
struct a large new factory buildinc
and a forge shop, and to. Increase
the capital Btock from three and a
half million to five million dollars.
tA. G. Seibering, i.nder whose suc
cessful management the Haynes Au
tomobile company has attained Itc
present enviable position among -tht
leaders of the automobile industry,
was elected second vice president. In
addition to Ills new duties Mr. Soi
berling will continue as general man
ager. March Haynes, son of Ehvood
Haynes the Inventor of America's
first successful putoniobile and
president of the company, was chos
en assistant treasurer and secretary.
The vast plans for expansion by
the. builders of "America's First
Car" were decided upon because of
the unprecedented demand for the
Haynes character cars throughout
the world, and constitute one of the
Important responses of American In
dustry to the government's request
that "big business" lead the way In
national reconduction.
'We decided upoi this gigantic
increase because there was nothing
else for us to do if we are to meet
the world-wide demand foH Haynes
cars," dclares Mr. Soilbcrling. "The
stop was taken after n careful study
and analysis of the automobile sit
utlon, which determined to our com
plete satisfaction that the demand
for automobiles for Beveral years to
come will far exceed the combined
output of American factories."
The new factory building, which,
when completed, will be the largest
of its kind in the stale of Indiana,
will be BOO rcet lot' ,5, 150 feet wide
and four stories in height, making
an additional factory space of 300,
01)0 square feet. The building is to
be of modern fire-proof steel and
concrete construction and will be
Used for assembling, trimming,
painting and storage. The new
forge shop will have a floor space of
12,600 square feet. A 750 horse
power plant will heat the new
buildings. ' (
The efficient progressive system
of manufacturing will bo adopted
throughout. Severn! hundred thou
sand dollars will oe spent on up-to-date
machinery and equipment, thus
I Insuring quality and quantity pro-
ductlon. It is estimated that the
normal output of the enlarged
Haynes factory will be fifty cars a
day. Wprk on tho new buildings
wlil be started immediately and It
is expected that tney will be com
pleted early this fall.

Cadillacs Ride' Nitro '
Safely Over the
Bumps In Texas
"The highly nervous character of
nitro-glycerlno necessitates unusual
and interesting precautions for its
transportation," says B. C. Hamil
ton, Cadillac deuler. In the Burk
burnett oil fields r.f Texas, three
Cadillac cars are used to truusport
the explosive to the now drilling op
erations. The cars are trucks.
formed by lengthening out throe
chassis of the li14 models.
The peculiarities of nitro aro so
well understood by the men who
make use of it that It is never trans
ported in large lots. Tho unit of
carriage in tho oil fields Is the quart
cun. The bodies gf the three trucks
are honeycombs of pigeon holes,
each compartment Just huge enough
to hold ono quart cun. Every mil
and screw in each body is counter
sunk into the wood, and the holes
are filled with paraffin, so that the
cans have not the slightest chance
of scraping on metal.
The drivers of the throo trucks
are said to take full advantage of
the soft riding qualities of Cadillnr
springs In easing their loads ovui
bumps in the road.
