setiual value of tho motor car as
presented In the fact that up to
Juno 1. tf jO.oon moro motor vehicles
were In use In the L'nlted, Htutos
than during the entire year of 1317.
The total registration to June I.
representing lens than half of the
year, was S, 460. 000 cars, while the i
total 1917 reg'ratlon for the coun
try was slightly over 4,810,000. The
present year's flgurea lo not, of
course, lncludn several thousand
motor trucks, ambulances, and pas
senger cars purchased by the gov
ernment for shipment overseas.
Tho prices of automobiles, tires,
parts, everything connected with
automobile use, hsve steadily ad
vanced since tho first of the year.
This large Increase Is by no means
due to the enhanced use of motor
trucks, although transportation and
business Interests are employing
more of thoso vehicles than ever he
fore. Numerically, passenger rars
continue to lead, but proportion
ately tho advantage is with the com
mercial vehicles. This fact was well
illustrated in the figures recentlv
given by Kecretary of St a to Hugo
snowing that, in Nt-w York stale
from the first of the year to July
1, thro was an Increase of over
4 4,000 passerger cars and L'J 000
motor trucks over the corresponding
period of the previous year, thi to

state being over 422,000 rars. ex
ceeding all other states In the union.
Of th 4,810,000 automobiles n
use at l:ie end of 1917, only about
400.000 w.ero motor trucks. Trans

FRAME OF AERO EIGHT IS
NEW MARVEL OF STRENGTH
The Aero-Klght models designed
and built by tho Cole Motor Car
company are so unusual -ind strik
ing In design and so thorocgh in all
mechanical details that various parts
of the construction mint especial
study by motor ear owners who de
mand more of their cars than ever
before
The frame, which forms the foun
datlon for every working part and
road-strsin, has been made the sub
ject of special study, "llullt like a
bridge," characterizes it Bturdv,
flexible construction. The frame is
' xtremely light. It i made of hv
draullc pressed tee of high-ertrbon

an Inch In thickness and full six
inchca deep ,,t Mm side-members.
The Aero-Klght frame has almost
unlimited carrying capacity ami is I
gifted with peculiar resiliency that j
enables it to take nn the greatest
road shocks with little exertion.
A system of rross-braclng wl'h
mlrrhty cross members reflects the
most advanced Ideas In hrldge build.
Ing. Placed at the most vital points,
they servo not only to take up all
transverse stresses Knd to overcome
all distortions resulting when shocks
are applied unevenly to the uxles.
but distribute all excessive strain
throughout the entire frame area re
gardless of the particular point ut
which the shock Is Incurred.
The frame aide-members, full six

where the greatest load is carried.
The frame tapers toward the front
to afford the ehorteVt possible turn
ing radius and widens at the rear to
give the most rigid body support.
flexibility of travel depends upon the
frame construction. The turning ra-1

signs and tho proper tapr toward
the front. To combine this flexi

care must be used In the design and
selection of materials.

aeroplanes than Britain possessed
when the war began.

force. In the month of June last,
the number of enemy aircraft
brought down (which means de
stroyed) by the British alone was
514, while the number driven down
out of control was 168. As against
that total of 482 enemy machines de
stroyed or driven down, 1(18 British
machines were reported missing fori
the same period. Another month
shows 611 enemy aircraft acco-mted
for. and only 120 British machines

The bormblng planes have been
very busy alao. During one month
British airmen dropped 653 tons ot
bombs over different military objec
tives, and made no fewer than seventy-four
separate bombing raids
over Oermany itself, apart from
work over the battle area, und en
gaging nearly 2.000 enemy batteries.
It 1s no uncommon thing for British
airmen to bomb military objectives
in Germany Itself three times in one
day.

To Present and Prospective
Dealers and Qwnem
Far a long time we have been watching the
steady advance in popular esteem by the
Westoott Six.
We have seen this car consistently out-performing
other cars of its class in every practi
cal demonstration of road-ability.
We have observed that Westcott Sixes nor
mally last for years without loss of efficiency
and with very little depreciation in beauty,
style or distinction.
We have studied the Westcott Engineering
and have found that every detail is STAND
ARD in the strictest sense. No car at any
price has better units, better proportions, or
better assembly.
We have noted that Westcott owners seldom
transfer their allegiance to cars of other make.
We have investigated the factory and the or
ganization behind the Westcott Six and have
found a record of ten years' idevntvm to a
