AUTOMATIC TYPEWRITER
SCORES HIT
Hoovan Automatic Typewriter
Is Subject to Much Favor-
able Comment.
Automatic machinery is saving
the day for the manufacturer. In
the first place it is much faster
than other devices and in the sec-
ond it cuts down the pay-roll, one
Mall often doing the work of half a
dozen. However, this is no hard-
ship on the machinists and others,
for there are more places open in
Detroit than there are men to fill
them.
Some strides have been made in
providing automatics for office use,
but none of the have accomplished
as much as the Hoovan Automatic
Typewriter. This electrically op-
erated machine in the hands of a
clever operator will do the work of
fi ve typists.
The typewriter is one of the
known standards. The roll, on
which has been prepared the letter,
is placed hack and under the ma-
chine in the desk. The operator
puts a sheet of letterhead in the
machine in the usual way, dates and
addresses it, then touches a but-
ton and the machine fairly hums at
a rate of about 100 words a minute.
There is a distinct advantage for
trade letters, because 'it is actual
typewriting, so that to all appear-
ances the letters are individual.
The roll itself is made on another
appliance which goes \vith the out-
fit, this work merely - being that of
typing as far as the keyboard is
concerned. There is no trick in the
operation of the machine, which
many prominent manufacturers and
merchants in Detroit and elsewhere
have found to be just the thing
they have wanted.
The Hoovan Automatic Type-
writer is being shown at 1207
Kresge building and representa-
tives of many industries are exam-
ining it.

New Orleans. — Local
II'rith lodges are expecting to
aid in the campaign to raise a fund
of $1,000,000 to establish Jewish
farm colonies in the Seventh Dis-
trict of the Order. The decision to
start raising the fund was made at
a meeting of the Agricultural Com-
mittee of the Seventh District, in
Waco, Tex. Eight southern states
comprise the district.
"Everything done in the matter
between now and the 1917 conven -
tion of the Order in Chattanooga
must necessarily be of a prelimi-
nary nature," said :\lyron M. Gold-
man, grand secretary of the District.

well B'nai B'rith members in his
state will support the project.
'.'The farm colony plan is the
newest idea in farming. If it is
worked out successfully the farm-
ers, instead of being separated from
one another by many lonely miles,
IllaV live in one community and
have their farms within easy driv-
ing distance. The communities will
furnish the farmers' families the
much needed social life and so de-
stroy the cause for the wholesale
desertion of farming which is an
alarming factor in American life.
The 11'nai Icrith colony would, of
course, be a Jewish community. If
funds can be raised, more than one
colony will be formed. The loca-
tion will be left to the District."
