vi Young Men Making Their 
7 ‘Living by Driving Automobiles 
~~ - Than in Army. 
There are more professional 
auffeurs in the United States than 
- soldiers in the army. Ten years ago 
: ‘there were about 3500 motor ma- 
_ ¢hines in this country, and now there 
x are more than 400,000 and the rate 
= increase is so rapid that the num- 
~ -ber will probably be doubled inside 
- of ayear. The investment in plants 
for the manufacture of automobiles 
has imereased from $6,200,000, 10 
_ years ago, to more than $450, 000, 000 
_ at this time. The number of men 
_ employed a decade ago was said to 
_ be about 2000, and now it is nearly 
~ 300,000. From 14 different makes 
of cars, the choice has now broaden- 
ed out to 84, not mentioning the 
different styles of each factory. The 
. prices of the highest cost cars have 
_ inereased even beyond the former 
- extreme, but the average price has 
decreased from $2137 in 1907 to 
_ $1545, and there are more good cars 
at the lower prices. It is claimed by 
men who have followed the develop- 
| ment carefully that it has not been ac- 
' complished by extensive capitalistic 
interests in the industry, but rather 
by men of determination with limit- 
_ ed eapital,“who have fought against 
adverse conditions and succeeded by 
their own work and the employ- 
- ment of men of brains and deter- 
mination who have also worked in 
the good, old American way. Mail- 
_ lionaires have been developed in that 
way, and they have taken their 
places among the successful business 
men of this country. They started 
with nothing, or next to it, and with 
borrowed capital and investments 
_ made on their ability, have worked 
out the problem of independent 
wealth. Yet it is more than 10 years 
ago that the harpers began to tell 
q the young men of the United States 
that they had no possible chance to 
build up an independent business 
and become rich on their own ac- 
count. The fact having been de- 
-monstrated that men have done in 
years what was declared to be im- 
possible, because of the trusts and 
_ the hold of capital on the business 
of this country, it is now claimed by 
2 men who have observed the rise of 
the automobile business, that there

are still greater chances for the- 
hard-working and practical fellow 
_ to build up fortunes on the second- 
"ary advancement of the auto busi- 
hess as it is developing. Only the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
eream has been taken off the publie 
demand for thé motor wagons, and 
the great majority of the progres- 
Sive people are yet to be supplied 
with the faster means of travel, that 
which the majority is bound to have 
in the next decade and a half. No 
business has ever been built up so 
rapidly, and none has ever pushed 
aside the established order of things 
so completely and left the field open 
for so much cultivation. The statis- 
ties of probable demand exceed any 
others ever made. Even the eye- 
wash of Col. Sellers looks like a 
tame proposition in comparison. 
That stage enthusiast counted his 
consumers by the millions, but he 
had to assume that they had sore 
eyes or would have them. The auto 
_enthusiasts simply claim that men in 
occupations will follow their kind 
into the automobile field year after 
year, as a natural consequence ot 
efficiency in the doing of business, 
without having sore eyes. The power 
machines have ceased to be mere 
pleasure wagons or exhibits of 
wealth, and are now vehicles of util- 
ity for the man or woman who has 
business to attend to, and it is in 
the general knowledge that 
world has ceased to wait for the slow 
movers and i s depending on the 
swift to do the business, in medi- 
cine, in carrying the parcels, in mov- 
ing the heavy freights and in handl- 
ing the mails. The pace is faster 
for the seller and the buyer, whole- 
sale and retail, and he who would 
keep up must forget the horse and 
turn the crank that fires up the gas- 
oline or switches on the electri¢ evr- 
rent. 
Any worth-a-cent editor has a 
pride in ‘‘ printing the news’’—in 
telling his readers about the events 
of the world that have in them hu- 
man interest and significanee. It is 
the perpetual anxiety of the alert 
editor that his news columns: should 
refiect the world for the period ‘‘be- 
tween issues’’ 
-For ‘‘news value’’ is a mighty 
thing—the inexorable scale on which 
is weighed the importance of the 
newspaper. When an issue of a 
newspaper ‘‘weighs light’’ in news- 
value, that issue is a sorry misfor- 
tune for the publishers of the paper. 
There should never be a dull issue 
of a newspaper—for there has never 
been a dull day in the world; never 
a day without its plethora of events 
that ‘‘mean things’’ to men and wo- 
men who think and feel. So the 
editor must be an interpreter, and 
he must see and value the human ap- 
the ° 
peal in all news events. 
In the Classified Advertising col- 
umns there is a never-failing ‘‘news 
interest’’ that takes care of itself. 
These little*ads are, almost all of 
them, slightly veiled news items. 
They are clues to phases of the inti- 
mate life of the people. To those ac- 
customed to reading and answering 
them they mean much that is not 
fully obvious in the usual, simple 
phrases of the ‘‘want ad’’. 
You may always find ‘‘news val- 
ue’’ in these little ads—and, often, 
surprising compensation for your 
work in looking for it!
