the Lion, a Michigan Product.

Many Of the exhibitors during the recent
show at the Garden have since visited the
Palace exhibition TO look over the newer
makes OF cars. The trucks have proved
prolific in surprises. but the passenger cars
are Of the most approved type. and many
of them will bear comparison with the
stars of the field. Such car Is the Lion.
made by the Lion Motor Car Company. OF
Adrian. Mich No less an authority than
Andrew J.. Riker pronounced this car as
good a machine at the price as he had
seen anywhere.
The Lion was introduced 10 New YORK
only few weeks ago, but It has proved
from the outset an attractive proposition
for agents and they have entered sur
prisingly large number Of orders for the
current years models. Quite a number OF
retail orders have also been booked at the
show The few parts that are not built al
the factory are of tho same class as Is
employed in the highest priced machines

New York continues TO have high total,
{ with 1910, while the Elizabeth clubs 9405
is the best team average. Only three Of
the ten teams have marks lower than 9oO.
In the individual race Clauss and Wood
have once again changed places at the top
OF the column The Elizabeth bowler leads,
with l949 while Wood has slipped back to
1895 All league high score records were
broken the other night, when Tompson Of

The reason is simply that No

They make rim-cutting impossi-

These patented tires completely

 Heretofore state pensions have been paid only to special classes, such as teachers. policemen, and firemen.

 On the subject of the interference of the commercs court with the eff ciency of the commission, the report has this to say. in part:
 In saying that the court has rui- ed in favor of the railroads, we do not mean that the ruling has always been adverse to the commission, but it has been adverse to the shippers contention For instance, the court decided in favor of the commission in the two Cincinnati rate cases. These were proceedings in which the shippers of Cincinnati sought to have the commission ordered to reopen the case and fix a lower scale of rates Co Chattanooga than had been ordered on the ground that the rates fixed by the commission were unreasonably high and had not been based upon contentious which the commission should not have regard ed, namely competition from east and west. In these cases, the court held it that it had no right to review the findings of the commission
 Concerning the commissions de- cision in connection with the long and short haul section of the act and the rates it prescribed ~I the inter mountain cases, the commission calls attention to the difference of opinion.
 Now. who shall say whether the rate made to San Francisco is or is not properly induced by water compe- tition at that point2 Who can deter mine wheth,r the dranscontinentaf rail line is, upon the pretext of water competition giving to the terminal | oint a rate below what it's natural position would ehtitle it and thereby discriminating against the iutermed- fat city Of Reno?
