As spring came on Douglas carried
Polly down to the sunlit garden be-
meath the window, and Mandy fut-
tered about arranging the cushions
with motherly sollcitude.
More days slipped by and Polly began
to creep through the little, soft leaved
trees at the back of the church and to
look for the deep, blue, sweet scented
vlolets. When she was able Douglas
took her with him to visit some of the
outlying houses of the poor Her
woman's instinct was quick to per-
ceive many small needs In their lives
that he had overlooked and to suggest
simple, inexpensive Joys that made
them her devoted friends.
Their evenings were divided between
making plans for these unfortunates
and reading aloud from the Bible or
other books
When Polly gained courage, Douglas
sometimes persuaded her to read to
him, and the little corrections that he
made at these times soon became
noticeable in her manner Of speech.
She was so eager, so starved for
knowledge that she drank itas fast

arriving at the Sanatorim It was
found upon hasty examination that
1t was probable that he had sus-
tanned internal injuries i'm being
thrown about in the buggy.
Young Ganyerd suffered but a few
scratches; his injuries are in no way
serious.
The mOtorman and conductor de-
clare that the gong was loudly sound
ed, although passengers on the car
at the time state that they heard no
alarm given and were unaware of the
oncoming accident until the crash
came. Young Ganyerd says he looked
about through the glass of the buggy
as they were about to cross the track
and before his horse could ibe checked
che collision occurred. DR.. Sawyer
was seated ON the right side of the
rig.
Only for the past few months has
DIR. Sawyer been able to attend to
his duties at the Sanatorium, he hav-
ing been confined to his home by SER
icus Illness fer several months pre-
Nious. He Is aged forty-nine years
and is yet rather feeble, and accord
ing to the statements of the attend
ing physicians his recovery will re-
quire much time.
DR.. Sawyer was this afternoon
much recovered from the shock
which he received this morning and
in relating of the incident stated
that his rig woh d have cleared the
track before the car arrived had it
not been for youth who was rid
ing on the opposite side of the
street on a wheel. Rather than col
lide with the lad the horse was
slightly checked and the crash with
the trolley resulted.

QUICK DETACHABLE
MUD APRONS A hit
This Years Models of Mitchell Exhib=
tied at Chicago Show Prove to
Be Very Simple
Device

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Quick detacha-
bility, together with firm seating when
attached, is mud apron problem that
has been solved by the makers of the
Mitchell. The solution is a key such
as used to fasten the hood down. 1t
will be exhibited at the Coliseum show
The Mitchell apron is of sheet iron
and extends from the front of the hood
clear back to the transmission gear
case. Toward the front and rear of
the upper edges of the apron and with
in easy reach under the hood are angle
irons riveted to the inner surface of
the apron and set opposite each other
on either side of the engine. BOlted to
the horizontal arms of these angle irons
are the keys, which lock into the slots
in hook shaped claws bolted to the up
per side of the subframe and are held
firmly in place by strong spiral springs,
like the keys that lock the hood.
The springs prevent rattling. Simply
lifting and turning these four keys
drops the apron and in a moments s
time exposes all the under side of the
mechanism, enabling quick and easy
access for oiling or repairing.
The key and clip arrangement is one
of the simplest devices known and full
fills all the requirements for holding
the apron firmly in place or for en-
abling it's almost instant removal when
occasion requires. 1t is one Of the new
features of the 1909 Mtichells.

MAXWELL CONCERN
LEASES RAND DRILL
CURRENT RUM0R Is GIVEN
CONFIRMATION
Consummation of Deal Is Considered
Very Significant as an Indication
of Expansion of Already
Large Concern

A rumOr has been current. for several
weeks that the MaXwell-Briscoe Motor
company has been trying to get control
of the Ingersoll- -Rand-DrilI works al
TarrytOwn, n. Y. Official conufirma-
ton was received yesterday, and it is
authoritative since it comes from F. d
DOrman, secretary Of the Maxwell
Briscoe Motor company. While this is
news to many, to d few who are IA
miliar with the conditions at Tarry-
town this announcement is not entirely
a surprise. When Mr. DOrman was
asked in regard to the facts he said
Yes, it is true that we have leased the
Rand-Drill works to take care of oul
overflow. Our business has grown sc
fast that we have utilized nearly all OF
our available space, and it was impos-
sible to put up buildings on the prem
ises fast enough. We will take posses
sion Immediately" --....-.--.-
The fact that the Maxwell -Briscoc
Motor company has leased the Inger-
sOll-Rand-Drill works is considered q
great thing for TarrytOwn. AS the
Maxwell BriscOe Motor company en-
plOyS about 1000 men at TarrytoWr
alone, with a payroll averaging 2,0C(
weekly, this is simply another step in
their policy of expansions, which adds
additional factory space to the present
chain of three factories.
For 1909 the combined output of the
Maxwell factories will be approximate
ly 10000 cars. For 1910, however with
the increased facilities which this new
space gives the Tarrytown plant, pres
ent plans call for an output of about
20, 900 Maxwell automobiles.
Both Mr.. Briscoe and Mr.. Maxwell
left for the Chicago automobile show
on Thursday and were unable to be
seen in regard to this new acquisition
but the superintendent, Mr.. Pretz, has
already started a gang of men at work
in the new building, which is d, proof OF
how sorerly this additional space was
needed.

Of Denizens of

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb 49,
For several years past San Juan has
had an automobile passenger service
that has proved so satisfactory to the
people in the section through which
the cars have been run that they are
thoroughly converted to this means of
transportation. This is so much the
fact that when a new company was
recently proposed the capital stock was
many times oversubscribed by the mer-
chants of San Juan. The general man
ager of the new line is o. H. Martin,
who is we'll known in this country be-
cause of his experiences with service
automobiles, and he recently placed an
order for six 30-passenger cars with an
American motor truck manufacturing
company. These buses are being built
at LOckport n. Y, and Mr.. Martin is
now at the factory inspecting the first

TARIFF ON AUTOS IS
VERY VITAL QUESTION
Benjamin Briscoe of Maxwell Conn
Pany Argues Before Ways and
Means Committee of Fed
eraI House

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 13.-The
suggested revision of tariff on automo-
biles is one of the vital questions be-
fore the American automobile industry
today. Benjamin BriscOe, president Of
the MaXWell-BriscOe Motor company
and chairman of the American Motor
Car Manufacturers association has
probably delved more deeply into this
question than any other automobile
manufacturer. In fact, Mr.. Briscoe was
one of a committee of two to place be-
fore the committee on ways and means
at Washington, D. G., q brief prepared
by the Associated American Manufac-
turers of Automobiles.
Notwithstanding the great number
of machines sold and the money in
vested" said Mr.. BriscOe, "it is Il
fallacy in the public mind that the
manufacture of automobiles represents
Il large profit. AS a matter of fact, 80
per cent of the automobile manufac-
turers of this country are not even
making a manufacturing profit This
is not due to poor business manage
ment but is due to the large amount
of capital required in the experimental
and development stages to bring the
industry to its present condition, and
also to the many unusual risks incident
to the conduct of d business of this
character. The number of concerns
which have started in business and
have been compelled to withdraw is
startling. For example, in 1902 fifty-one
concerns started. Eighteen discontinued
that year. In 19O3 1904, 1905 and 1906
the percentages of those which disccn-
tinued are even greater. But these
failures were under the present tariff
rate of As per cent.
1T is an unQuestiOned fact that labor
is CHEAPER abroad than in the United
States, and that the American laborer
requires protection by an adquate
tariff To give figures, workmen in
America receive $765 a, year as against
$SO6 in Europe, commercial employees
1876 as against $529 in Europe, While
technical employees in this country re-
ceive $12O2 against $602 abroad. In
other words, the American factories
pay in labor alone 21a times what they
get for the same kind of work in the
factories in Europe"
