IN GROVER Associated Press Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Just now the-army is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the adoption of the airplane as a military weap- on, while forgetting that it is only the 25th anniversary of the army's purchase of its first automobile. * And if comparative statistics mean anything, the automobile and its monster grandchild, the} tank, have become about as ef-/ fective a military weapon as the| airplane. The army purchased its first} automobile in 1914, the year. the World War broke out, and didn’t buy any more until in 1916 when CONCERT SUNDAY AT ART CENTER Key West WPA Federal Band | will present its regular Sunday ; afternoon concert tomorrow at the \Art Center grounds, beginning at 15 o'clock.

And the capacity of the indus- | try to supply trucks and other | motor vehicles as a war necessity is almost boundless. The govern-| mint is pouring money into air-| plane factories to byild up their production as a war reserve pow- er. The automobile industry built up. its production, mostly under its own power, although the government road-building program didn’t hurt any. As it stands now the automo- bile industry, om a 24-hour basis, probably could turn out annually 7,000,000: to 8,000,000 motor ve- hicles of all varieties. In 1929 it| put out 5,000,000 as a peak. In 1937 it produced approximately [tion, ‘The new defense appropria- tion calls for building 164 medium tanks with inch-and-a-half armor, at a cost of $50,000 each. An equal number of. light tanks also has been authorized at a price of $27,- 500. Additional tanks may be purchased. < Qf equal importance with the supply is the dependability. Dur- ing the World War the chances of an automobile getting from one place to another over rough terrain was only moderately good. Part of the fault was in the ma- chine and part in the inexperi- enced driver. Nowadays a mo- tor failure is an exception and speed has been more than dou- ble. Performance is, almost per- fect.

It guided her into the retail world and her man- responsibilities at the Fifth Avenue store. And here, she has had the oppor- tunity to develop some of the most unique ideas known to the world of business. Her perception brought about the essential and much-needed cooperation between the producer, the retailer. and the consumer, a Dorothy Shaver very important factor in the mer+ chandising field. It was she who first introduced a bureau of stylists to a department store. Through her ability to see the importance of the development of the arts in industry, she spon- sored the first comprehensive exhi- bition of modern furniture and dec- oration ever held in this country. And young American designers, all over the country, owe much to Miss Shaver, for she started the movement to give them recognition, As a result her American Designer movement has completely swept the fashion world. A pioneer thinker, a human ware: house of ideas, a veritable dynamo, that’s Dorothy Shaver.

It gives advice and entertaining reading on every subject ip which a young fellow is_ inter- ested. It is particularly helpful in sports.
