Cost Is Astonishing.

"Some of us would probably be as
tonished if we could know just what 1t
cost the industry to make a quick clean
up at the end of the season, in instances
curtailing production, etc, in order 10 get
from under the current model and get
ready for the new. The dealers must
recognize that after given date their
cars on the floor are not as desirable
purchase as little earlier, and doubtless
they do their part of sacrificing. 1t isn't
only the amount of money lost in making
these quick changes, which is serious. but
it is the unsettled condition which it
brings.
"The occasion for this hurried cleanup
isn't entirely chargeable to what we are
of late disposed to call annual models

Affects Private Owner.

I'VE have viewed the annual model as
ii affects the private owner. lie; rs note
what it means 10 the dealer. With the an
nlal model practice in vogue, does ii not
mean that the dealer must constantly be
on guard and clean up his stock early to
avoid being caught with one or more OF
these obsolete machines when the new
model is announced by either his COM
petitor or the manufactures whose prod
net he sells? This position seems to be
trying at times. We can all recall when
the announcement of the first 1913s ap-
peared last April before the dealer in tho
OUTLYING sections of Iowa had an oppo:-
tlnity to demonstrate or deliver car in
the same calendar year. \ rather dis
turbing situation for the dealer to be cor
fronted with. Think of his competito'
having the next years model before he
himself was able to start on the current
year Put yourself in the place of tEe
dealer. You would probably decide the
only way you could have avoided being
caught with a 1912 stock on hand a. thai
time woi.Id have been not to have bought
any 19f2's. This may strike YOU as a
iudicrous illustration, but there Is a seri-
Gus side to the situation.
'-if we expect capable and sensible
business men to invest their money in
our product and to carry stock with which
to do business. we must change our
plans SO that the dealer can feel GER
tain security i'm the fact that if he lays
his program to take care of business over
a given length of time he is war;: nted in
doing this because he knows he isn't CO.
ing to suffer any of these interruptions.

Criticizes Currency Bill and Also

changes proposed by Mr.. Untcrmyer
affected vital points of the bill.
criticizing the bll,s definition DEF, OF

stricted," Mr.. Untermyer declared strict
lines should be drawn 10 allow the
issue OF currency only on commercial
paper representing the purchase or
sale OF a commodity which would en-
ter into commerce. He rccommended
allowing the proposed regional reserve
banks to rediscount wider range or
paper than would be eligible as Il basis
for currency.
Mr.. Untermyer also recommended al
terng the plan of organization OF the
proposed regional reserve banks.
Tho bill as at present framed. Mr..
Untermyer declared. gave the banks
too much power in the organization
tern. He recommended abolishing the
proposed advisory councif of bankers
as an adjunct to the Federal reserve
board. and suggested the government
be given closer powers or regulation
and removal over regional reserve di-
rectors elected by the banks.
he given flat profit of per cent on
their investment in the regional banks.
and that the government be given all
profits above that figure.
The right of the regional banks to
enter the open market in competition
with the member banks was absolutely
necessary. he said:
Mr.. Untermyer disagreed fatty with
a scheme advanced by Senators Reed.
Hitchcock and Bristow,. under which
the government would issue currency
directly to the Individual banks on
their assets up to rs per cent Of their
capital stock, with n provision for a
80 per cent gold reserve. This plan,
he said, would be inelastic and i'm
practicable.
With the end of tariff legislation in
sight, the Senate committee will con-
tinue detailed hearings on the cur
rency bill. which would cover several
weeks.

JEWISH NEW YEAR

DR.. Calisch to Preach at Beth

OBSERVE THE HOLY SEASON
Rosh Hashanah Ends With Feast
OF Conclusion on
October q.

Again the Jews. the world over, are
preparing to observe the holy season.
which begins with Rosh Hashanah. or
ming and ends with the Feast of Con-
clusion. on the evening of October %.
In the Jewish tradition. the Rosh
Iiashanah marks the anniversary of
the creation of the world, supposed TO
have taken place 5.G74 years ago. The
mark the beginning of the year 1914.
The change of date. however. is of
1it mish or T no importance, and II the

would be very faint indeed. 1t is not
the change of year. but the change of
II stand out as one of the hottest days
in the Jewish calendar. Herein 1t ratii-
caliy differs from the civil New Year:
II is day set apart for introspection
ana determination. The sacred
character of the day is implied in
the two other names by which it is
the Day of the Blowing of the Trum-
pets In the first place. it is the Day
! OF Memorial. or Remembrance. AS such
1t calls upon the Jew to remember the
divine purpose of his life; secondly. it
| is the Day of the Blowing OF the Trum-
pets; It's purpose IS to rouse Israel
him to high resolves and nobler deeds
Day of Atoncment.
The Rosh Hashanah derives It's sig
niiicahce from the fact that 1t is but
the introduction to the Day of Atone
nent, which follows ten days later.
The essential ceremony Of the services
In the synagogue on Rosh fIashanah is
the blowing of the trumpet, in accord
ance with the injunction in Leviticus
xiii. "a. which reads: I'm the seventh
month, on the first day of the month
shall ye have a Sabbath. a memorial of
blowing of trumpets. and holy convoca-
ton"
In the Reform Synagogue, Rosh Ha-
shanah is celebrated from sunset of
October l to sunset of October .,
whereas among orthodox Jews the
holiday does not end until sunset of
October 3.
at Beth Ahabah Synagogue services
for the eve of the New Year will begin

Horses Not War Munitions.

Washington, September 29-Horses
ana saddles, hay and other feedstuffs
intended for the Mexican Federal army
or the revolutionists are not munitions
OF war, and may be exported from the
United States into Mexico without re-
striction. This decision to-day was
given by Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury tIamlin in interpreting the
Presidents proclamation OF March 4,
1912. forbidding the expectation of
munitions of war to Mexico.
Mr.. Hamlin's decision followed an
opinion by Attorney General Mercy
nolds, which held that munitions of
war made contraband by the proclama-
ton were articles manufactured and
primarily and ordinarily used for mill
tary purposes in time Of war"
The administration has reluctantly
concluded that at present there is no
constitutional way to open communica-
ton on an official basis.
This fact developed to-day as the
result of an inquiry as to whether John
Lind. President Wilson'S special COM
missioner to Mexico. was planning to
communicate with the Constitutional
lists with q view to obtaining promise
from them tc respect truce while
the projected October elections in Mex
leo are under way.
