Automobile values as at present established are largely due to the foresight and courage of Mr. John N. Willys, the president of this institution. He foresaw the universal use of the automobile and had the courage to produce quality cars in larger quantities than they had ever K'fore been produced. Steadily increasing production made IKissible savings .and economies which steadily reduced costs and reieatcdly established new values. Might years ago, with a net worth of little more than 850,(100 this com pany produced 405 cars. This year, with a net worth of over 0N, 000,000 we must produce owr 200,000 cars to fill our dealers' contracts. It has required an enormous invest ment in plant and equipment to prepare for this enormous produc tion. The prime requisite in the automobile industry is still foresight and cour age. Mr. Willys foresees a demand this year in excess of the possible supply. In addition to enormous investment in plant and equipment Mr. Willys had the courage to contract long ago for enormous quantities of raw materials $35,000,000 worth al ready in hand for this year's record production See all this reflected in the vahies we have toshow you in the most comprehensive line of cars ever built by any one producer.

Taking Postmasterships Out of Politics April 11 Saves $12,000,000 By Miles Poindexter. (I'nited States Senator from Wah ington.) WwshiiiKtoii, 1). C. ilavcli 24. The ; n.'tiou of the jiresidnt in ailoptino; the merit system in npiuiutmeut ot fiPit, second and third class postmasters and taking this "patronage" oat of polities,. will save the government, at a conserva tive estimate, 12,000,JJtl(l a year and will ini-iease the efficiency of the pos tal service, tins system becomes et fective n week from Monday- Ther are 5ii 'first class offices; 2,213 second class; i,4.ii third class and i. ;i!Ci fourth class offices. The fourth class offices were placed in th classified civil service several years ago by l'lesideut inn. The application of the principle how evr, was so perverted that it did not bring the desired result. Three names were certified on a list of eligible an plicnnt's. In nearly all cases there was at least one democrat on the list and in nearlv nil cases this democrat was ; appointed. It nat only brought the sys tern into ridicule bcause it was a sham land a hypocritical application of it. thus did the merit system harm be cause some who took only a superficial view of the mutter blamed the principle I itself for the result, whereas the leal ! fault was the failure to apply in truth 'the merit" principle. The criticism real j ly was against the old spoils system I masquerading in the guise of the merit ' system. So tar as announced, the forthcoming order will not affect incumbent post masters iluring tneir present term, hut will apply only to appointments or re nppointiHvnts tit the end of that term, instead of a perversion of the principle 1 by giving the appointment to the demo crat on the list of three, the applicant standing highest on the list and having j the other necessary qualifications as to I general character, will be appointed re jgardless of politics, j This change will add to the dignitv nf congressmen and will also relieve i' them troni the obligations and humilia tions of political apiointments. It will take antiy from the executive branch (of the government, one of the powerful influences or inducements, which in the 'times past have frequently been used to idirect and control the actions of cone- i less. Anyone can see the effect of such influence, morally as well as intellect ually, and if allowed to control the en tire civil service would lead te its ruina tion. I proposed this chfiiige ly an amend ment to the postotfice bill two years ago. but it went, out on a puint of order. This year when' the legislative, execu tive and judicial appropriation came to the senate it contained certain geneial legislation relative to postoffice employees. This "gave an opportunity for an amendment ou the same subject ami I reoffered the ametulment taking the postoffi.'e appointments out of poli ties and providing that they should be appointed on merit in accordance with New Regulations For Football Games Xew Vor!;. .Mar. 24. New regula tions to curb the carrying of instruc tions from the side lines and the' elimination of the field goal from a I multiple kick formation are the out standing features of the new rules adopted today by the football rules! committee of the l!M7 season. ! A substitute player entering the game must not n.eak to any other! player on the field until ....' ii, i.in has been put into plav; i case aiiv change in the positions 'of the players ... itohi, me incoming substitute must give information through the! referee. In case the substitute takes! the place of the player giving signals,; he may gx P ,he signals. u- the next' play but cannot speak to anv player! mml after the ball is put into play. i or a violation ot this rule is the loss ot 15 yards. In order that the present rule may not work a. hardship it is discretion ary with the referee whether or not penalty shall be imposed when the incoming -substitute fails to report frl T',er nilt'd thM a' goal fiom the field can only be scored bv a place kick or a ,br, l,,t , fact ('mlfcas1Zed that a place kick rules'''"1'1"''1'' fsta,'lishe'I viva service At a later d:ite T . - " "iifin discuss r I"" WhU'h this 'hanee will --,.

The use of arti ficial tees for a kick-off at the begin ning of periods also was barred. Other changes include the giving of the ball to the offended side ,wbeio there is illegal interference with the player receiving a forward pass at thn point where the foul is committed- Jn casc the foul is committed behind the goal line, the ball goes to the offend ed team on the one yard line. A pen alty of five yards will be imposed in the future for running into the kicker, and 15 yards and disqualification for roughing; the penalties to be imjo-sed from the point where the ball was put into play. The referee is also empowered to permit the substitution of a new ball in play on a wet fild at the end of the second period at his discretion. MAKES MONSTROUS STRIDES When -we recall that the automobile industry is only eighteen or twenty years old and consider what was called an automobile back in the early days, it is easy to appreciate the enormous growth of the country's greatest indus try for its age. Looking at the mod ern car, the problems of the pioneeri seem insignificant. But there was a vast ignorance with regard to the in ternal combustion engine, the charac teristics of which differed so widely troth those of the steam engine in common use. Many of the features of present day design were undreamed of i nen. I i urn, Job Department Is Busy all the lime. It goes to prove that our work and prices satisfy the users good Printing.
