DELIVERS ADDRESS ON SUNDAY
5@5 EVENING,

Mr. S. Earl Taylor Of New iorK
City spent Sunday with his relatives
in Manchester. Mr.. Taylor was high
5ly honored at the last. meeting OF the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, which was IN NH
neapois In. the month Of May, l912.
He was elected to the office OF gener>
al missionary secretary of the church.
This Is one OF the highest honors
which could be bestowed upon any
member of the church. His duties
are in the missionary office. at 100
Fifth avenue, New York. Thus he
is one Of the leaders Of the great
church OF which he is member. Ger
tainly the city Of Manchester snould
be congratulated upon being able to
furnish to the church and the World
such a leader. I.
Mr.. Taylor addressed large audi
ence at a union meeting OF the
churches, which was held at the Con
gregational church, Sunday evening,
April 20. His address was most
beautifully illustrated by lantern
slides. First of all Mr.. Taylor gave
Z the audience a view of the world as
the ordinary tourist sees it. Then,
with appropriate illustrations, he
pointed out the work Of the church
and Of the churches on the mission
field. One Of the pictures which we
OF Iowa should not forget was that
of Bishop Lewis. He was for many
years principal at Epworth Seminary
and then president of Morningside
college at Sioux City. From the lat
ter position he was elected to the
high office Of bishop in 1908. he has
spent most of the time since his elec-
3 ton in helping to administer the mis-
sion work in China. He has been in
position to not only oversee The
mission field, but to- have an infiu'
& ence upon the nation itself. Truly,
yy'of all that is good, Iowa affords the
best .s
Mr.. Taylor called attention to the
fact that foot binding in China IS
becoming a Thing Of the past. Instead
l4ofS the old classics the students OF
3 China are interesting themselves In
western education. The horrid opium
traffic is also loosing its hold upon
the republic of China. Mr.. Taylor
called attention to another thing
which disarms all criticism of the
work of the missionaries: It is the
call Of the rich and the suffering OF
the heather world for the relief tha'
( the medical missionaries have beer
able to bring to many Of them. Ou1
hearts sadden when we think Of the
millions who have been given no re
lief. There are millions of people il
the Orient who call for the Gospel
But there is being raised up native
ministry, which is one day to near
the redemption Of the Kingdoms o
the earth. Wherever the Gosepl has
gone civilization has also gone.

MosIer Company Appears to
Hold the Whip Hand.
FIGURING ON ROYALTIES
Will Attempt to Collect Only
from Firms Entering Field
After Litigation Began.

The recent decision Of the United States
Court OF Appeals In New York upholding
the validity OF the Garfield patent con-
trolled by a. r. Mosler g. Co. has spread
CONSERVATION in the ranks Of spark plug
manufacturers and distributors through
out the country, and is considered the
most sweeping court decision in the mo-
tor car industry since the famous Sell
den patent decision, some years ago.
Among technical men 1t is believed that
the patent effects practically every spark
plug now on the market in this country.
However, A. r. Mosler, head of the con-
Germ bearing his name, has announced
that he has no intention of attempting
to collect back royalties except from
firms that have started in business since
the litigation started. Those now MAX
ing plugs that infringe the Garfield pat
ent will either have to stop making them
or will have to pay royalties to the own
ers of the patent.
The decision, which was rendered by
Judge Lacombe and concurred I'm by
Judges Ward and Rogers, upholds the
Garfield patent and gives an Injunction
prohibiting John Lurle, Of the Auto Sup
ply Company, from selling six makes OF
spark plugs, on the ground that these
plugs infringe the Garfield patent. The
suit which brought about this decision
has been I'm the courts since 1909, when
Judge Mayer, in the Circuit Court, dis
missed IT, w. a. Redding, attorney for
tho Mosler company, carried the case to

at Olympia or elsewhere. is solved. VIC
shaI expect the show chassis to become
universal feature once more. Should
that not be the case. we would venture
the prophecy that the DAYS of the show
were numbered and its usefulness past. A
motor car restricted 10 complete cars
would be banal and tiresome to a degree
30 Tar as It's international character is
concerned, this has been fully maintained.
Almost every British motor, tire and ac-
cessory firm of any standing is TO be
found in the building. The French in
dustry is represented by it's elite in every
branch. and at a glance down from the
gallery it would be difficult to say wheth-
or there were more British than French
cars on view below. The German con-
tlngent is a strong one. as is the Ameri-
can; while Belgium. Holland, Italy, Swift
erland and even Spain each lends a quota
"a circumstance undoubtedly due to the
value to all of the British market-par-
ticularly the home market.
80 far as we can judge there has been
no general drop in prices. Some cars
have been reduced to the extent of about
10 per cent, but by far the more general
practice has been to add improvements or
supply equipment so as to keep prices at
their old level. The reason for this is
quite sound, and arises out of the de-
mand of the motorist for an inclusive
price for his car complete
Against the few who would prefer TO
have their 1918 chassis reproduced and Of
fered at a 10 per cent reduction for 1914.
there are many who prefer to have il
with its improvements and its equipment
added at the 10 per cent cost, il only be-
cause the car manufacturer then becomes
guarantee for the quality and behavior
of everything on the car.
AN analysis of the models on view
would go to show that the pendulum has
begun 10 swing back toward the small
car once more. Last year there was a
marked development toward a reduction
in the number Of models turned out OF
the same factory, many small types being
abandoned. This was accepted as a step
