The International Sanitary Conference
under the auspices of the French govern
ment was opened, Tuesday, at Paris, by
the minister of foreign affairs, NJ De
Selvea. The great object of the confer
ence is to increase the obligation upon
nations to make public the fact of the
existene of plaques and pests in thelG
territories, to improve the medicinal SER
vice afforded on trans-Atlaptc ana coast
steamers and oblige steamship companies
to observe stricter sanitary measures on
their vessels.

Every little deficiency Is noted and
charged against the car, and only
those cars OF the greatest endurance
can make creditable showing.
The 1910 Glidden tour, for instance,
was the cruelest ordeal TO which a
piece Of machinery ever was submit
ted. That tour carried the contesting
cars over 2.S51 miles of some of the
worst roads I'm the United States.
From Cincinnati. south through the
Kentucky and Tennessee hills, into
the swamps OF Alabama and Missis-
sippi. across the rocky and stump
studded roads of Arkansas and Texas,
through the sand of Oklahoma, and
the gumbo of Kansas and thence
across Iowa and Illinois TO Chicago.
the Glidden tour cars were submitted
TO the most severe test that could be
devised for an automobile. Certainly
every car that finished that tour Of
fered positive proof OF its stamina to
the automobile-buying public.
IL Is such a test as this that proves
most TO both the owners and the pros
pective owners OF motor cars. The
official reports of such tour give the
greatest insight as 10 the endurance
qualities OF the leading cars. And
while a manufacturer who sends car
into such contest risks great deal,
the risk Is worth while II he Is build
ing the sort of car when can sue
cessfully go through such tests.

MISS LEWYN HAS MUCH
TO LEARN AND UNLEARN

Perhaps the hearing of the Flon-
couraged rather than encouraged the
members of the Detroit String quartet.
but the fact remains that the latter
organization did not play as well,
Wednesday afternoon, in Temple Beth
FL, as in previous concerts this sea-
son. Then, too, it is difficult for an
auditor not to make comparisons when
the opportunity to compare the two
organizations came within "a hours,
although recognizing that the one has
been in existence for years and has
tremendous advantage over the other,
whose members are just beginning to
get acquainted and who are surround
ed by none of the artistic and ma
terial things which has made the
Flonzaley quartet what II Is.
The program, Wednesday afternoon,
opened with Haydn's quartet No. 4,
and OF the four movements, the sec
ond and fourth--the adagio and al
legrc-were played the best. Dvorak' s
quintet In A major, in which the quar-
tet had the assistance at the piano
of Miss Helena Lewyn, the soloist OF
the afternoon, closed the program. IL
was interesting and agreeably played
and created the wish In the mind OF
the habitual attendant at these con-
certs that quintets appear oftener on
the programs.
Miss Lewyn played three solos
Chopin's Ballade in G minor, Schu-
bert-Liszt's Gretchen am Spinnrade,
and the Wedding march and dance OF
the Elves, from Mendelssohn's Mid
summer Nights Dream" music.
Miss Leywn showed the results OF
long hours and days of hard finger
practice, and, also, that she had given
so much time TO perfecting technical
facility that she had forgotten all
about developing Interpretation and
feeling and an acquaintance with the
composers. Miss Lewyn Is ill-advised
in Offering herself as piano soloist
outside OF conservatory pupil con-
certs. for she is far from having ac-
auired the necessary musical educa-
ton to present herself as a public
performer Extracting sounds from
keyboard as a dentist would refrac-
tory tooth, Is not piano playing, nor
is the use OF the loud pedal from the
beginning to the end of three COM
positions exactly In accord with the
composers intent and notations. Miss
Lewyn has much to learn and not
little to unlearn.
The program will be repeated Thurs
day evening. The next group OF con-
certs will be given Feb. 10 and 16.
and will present Nine. Elsa Ruegger,
the 'cellist of the quartet as soloist--
happy announcement!

ENDURANCE RACES
OF GREAT BENEFIT
Chalmers Manager Declares They Do
Much To Improve Construction Of
Automobiles.
BY LEE couNsELMAN,
viee-President and General Manager
Chalmers Motor Co.

SUdifuCFo w.
Automobile contests-road races,
hill climbs, endurance contests and
economy trials-have done more for
the development of the automobile
industry than anything else l could
name.
No amount of testing under ordin-
airy conditions can try out car Ss
does road race of $50 to 300 miles;
as does the terrific grind of Glidden
tour or the terrible strain OF a Dead
Horse hill climb. Ii is the car which
can stand the extra strain OF long
race at high speed, which Is capable
of giving the owner the greatest
amount of service. II Is the car which
can travel 1000 or 1900 M .es over
the worst roads In the United States
and finish with no vital parts broken,
which is the car of the highest eff
cheney.
The Chalmers Motor Company has
always been firm believer in auto
mobile contests. think that Is proved
by the record OF Chalmers cars. fer
I'm two years we entered practically
every contest to which our cars were
eligible and we won 80 firsts, 81 Sec
onds and II thirds.
During the past season we have not
been participating in road and track
races, but we have entered our cars
In the prominent endurance runs. For
while I am a firm believer In most
all kinds of contests, | believe that
the endurance contest Is the thing
which means most for the owner,
In the reliability tour strictly stock
cars equipped as they are In the hands
of owners, are sent out to contest un-
der most strenuous touring conditions.

Association OF Manufacturers, who
has recently returned from several

stereopticon views, UNFOLDING Mr..
Schwedtman's contention that the
progressive European nations are
more advanced than America In re-

liability Is unsatisfactory. wasteful,

Solons Flee From West
Virginia To Prevent Quorum

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 1.-TWO
United States senatorships are In
volved In the game OF West Virginia
politics, one end of which is being
played by the Democrats In Charles
ton, the capitol, and the other by the
Republican state senators. luxurious
ly domiciled at the Sinton hotel. In
Cincinnati, according to the latter to-
day.
BY staying away from West Vir-
ginia the 10 Republican senators pre-
vent a legal quorum and 1t was de-
clared by them today, that the cleo
ton of the Democrats, Watson and
Chiffon, will be illegal.
Possession of the governorship
gives the Republicans the upper hand
in this game and in all likelihood,
Nathan B. Scott and Davis Elkfhs,
Republicans, will continue to repre-
sent the state of West Virginia IN the
United States senate for at least two
years more.
Gov. Glasscock, Ii was stated by
.he exiled state senators today, viii
refuse to give the new Democratic
United States senators their commits
sions and thus prevent them from
taking their seats in the United
States senate.
The is state senators IL necessary
intend to remain in Cincinnati 40
days, the legal term Of legislative
session, after which the governor, de-
claring that the Democrats We're not
legally elected, will make a recess
appointment OF two Republicans.
AS the legislature does not convene
again for two years, West Virginia
will continue to be represented by
the Republican United States sena-
tors.
A special session OF the legislature
can be called in the meantime at the
request of two-thirds Of the members
or the legislature, but although the
West Virginia Democrats have
lead they have not two-thirds ma
jority.
Thus the cards are stacked against
the Democrats unless they are will
