Abrogates Treaties
Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 10.--Turkey
formally notified the United States
and the nations of the world today
that she had abrogated the series OF
conventions, treaties and privileges
| originating as early as the eleventh
century whereby foreigners in the
Ottoman Empire have been exempt
! from local jurisdiction in civil and
/ criminal cases. Foreign subjects no
longer will enjoy what is known ns
extra territorial rights through
which they have been tried by their
own judges, diplomatic representa-
tiyes or consuls.
This practice, abolished by Japan
several years ago through the nego-
tiation Of her new treaty, Turkey has
removed by a stroke of her pen. Her
purpose, it is declared, is to assert
her independence and free herself
from the domination of tho great
powers
Upon the right revoked has rested
the legal status OF American mission
aries in Turkey, permitting them to
maintain Turkeys hospitals and
schools in religious freedom.
1.-THE removal of every kind Of
privilege enjoyed by the powers in
except of what the general principles
of international law recognize is
the meaning of this step" A. Rustem
Rey, Turkish Ambassador to the
United States declared tonight.
This war is Turkeys opportun-
ity," he declared.

powers the belief prevailed tonight

ficulties that may arise with Great

PUBLIC INTEREST IS
IN THE SMALL CARS
Prediction Of Low Priced POpu-
larity Appears to Have
Come True.

For many years II has been said that
the lower priced automobiles were what
the American public wanted and that
thousands OF these automobiles would be
sold. Smaller cars OF various expert
mental types were built. but few have
ever made much progress and sooner or
later have disappeared from the market.
This year. however. II seems to he DIFF
ferent. and there IL great interest mani
Tested In the exhibits of small cars. Abou;
each booth where there Is small car
selling up TO $3.50 a crowd is gathered all
through the early morning and afternoon.
and at evening there Is mass around
these cars trying to get Il look at the
new productions.
There are number Of cars OF the
smaller type which are being shown this
year for the hrst time. They are divided
into two distinct classes, smaller sized
automobiles and cycle cars. The cycle
cars are built with narrow tread and low
wheels. and are mostly an enlarged ed
biles are just like the big touring cars.
but are lighter In weight, carry from two
to five people comfortably, and can be
driven anywhere any automobile can go.
Probably the largest exhibit of these
small automobiles Is that of the Maxwell
Motor Company, which is utilizing its full
space for the display OF these cars alone.
The car Ia made In a touring car. roadster
and town car type. The touring car,
however. 10 the one that IL attracting the
most attention and 10 the one that dealers
are placing the largest contracts for.

CUTTING OUT NOISE
Is GREAT AUTO FEAT
Eliminating Racket the Best
Thing That Has Been Done.
Says WHY'S.
ny JOHN y. W1LLYs,
wt1lys.Over 1aud Comma nv.

While the world has marvelled at tho
improvements made In design and con-
struction Of motor cars during the las,
few years, the wonderment has been at
the progress made In the vehicle as q
whole. In this way some of the most
remarkable improvements have been over
looked, not because they are unimportant,
but because they are not usually empha-
sized in a casual examination of the car
One Of these little heard of features
Is that of the elimination OF noise. II
has gone more or less unremarked by the
public. because every one knew the first
gasolene motors were too noisy and that
American ingenuity would sooner or later
overcome this fault.
To those who have made n study OF
the gasolene motor. however, the over
coming of the noise nuisance has been n
wonderful development. The proper de-
sign and construction OF valves proved
one of the most difficult problems auto
mobile designers and manufacturers have
had to contend with, and II has been
solved 80 completely and with such little
ostentation that few people have given
those responsible due credit
The main point tn consider In the pop
pet valve engine, which is the most popu-
lar type Of motor now IN Use. is that tho
valves operate under tremendous loads
This Is especially true in the exhaus,
valves. which OF necessity are counter
balanced against the pressure Of gases
by high tensioned springs.
In the 1914 overland motor changes
of design which cost thousands Of dol
lars to work out and perfect have been
made, and ~ a result the operation oI
the valves Is practically noiseless. Much
of this improvement has been attaine,l
by the new style Of pushrods and cam
shaft, by which the valves are raised
and lowered with the least possib,,
amount OF sudden movement. which is q
sure producer of noise. a further pro-
vision against noise is taken In the use
If bronze caps which fit over the pushrod
tops and effectually mu.f'e what little
sound liz created in the valve operation

more cars.
Although the foreign car exhibitors
received most of the orders. the two
American cars which are being shown at

captured more than their proportionate
share OF the business, reporting six re-

MUCH SAID FOR 0vERMAN.
Tire with Extraordinary Tread
Holds Well ON Road.

The Overman pneumatic cushion tread
tire Is exhibited for the first time at the
auto shows. In appearance IT Is not un-
like the ordinary pneumatic tire, Tor winch
IL can be substituted without alteration
n existing standard tire rims. It's prn-
cipal point of difference lies in Its thick
ened tread and In the unusual manner IN
which this tread is formed
The tread Is much heavier than normal,
and formed in II are very deep inden'a-
tons alternating on either side and over
tapping slightly at the centre OF the tread.
Between these indentations on the sides
there are other scooped out places. The
purpose OF which is to assist In the radia-
ZION of natural heat
By means OF the deep inserts the only
drawback TO a heavy tread is eliminated.
Incidentally these edges provide means
for the tire TO grip It's way through mud
Or water ana scrape an acquaintance with
.hs roadway itself, making the tire nom
:..ddiHg
The extra thickness OF tread obviously
accounts for the fact that the tire Is more
than ordinarily resistant to punctures and
blowouts and so confident are the makers
that the tire will stand UP an unusually
long time that they guarantee II for o.
0t0 miles Of surface wear II properly in
hatcd and not overloaded. Despite the
neavy tread of the tire It's weight aver
ages only about 10 per cent. more than the
ordinary non-ekld tires.
A large number OF tires in actual SER
vice are reported to have run upward OF
1000 miles, and the company is prepared
20 furnish upon request data on tire
mileage

PLEA FOR STANDARD WORK.
souther says Engineer ana Maker
should Get Together.

In a keen analysis OF the benefits that
have accrued to the automobile manu-
facturer through the Standardization work
of the Society of Automobile Engineers
Henry Souther. chairman OF the stand
ards committee OF the S. A. T.. speaking
last night at the annual banquet of the
society at the Plaza Hotel made a strong
appeal for u closer relation in stand
ard zation work between the engineer and
the manufacturer.
Mr.. Souther pointed to The large part
played by the Master Car Builders Associa-
ton and similar bodies in evolving standards
for their industries. saying, that in each
instance the manufacturers gave COM
plete s,ipport and financial assistance to
the work Of the engineers. realizing that
on their efforts rested the ultimate sue
cess Of the respective industries. Mr..
Souther said:
THE management that carries stand
ardization to the highest degree of per-
lection must succeed The management that
does not do so must fail in the long run.
To be specific. IL is not possible. for in
stance, to produce a good cheap car made
up of parts that are not standardized.
In the matter OF greater cooperat ton
IN Standardization work why should not
the engineer and the manufacturer who
must cooperate In the factory work
together in the greater field of standards
for the industry at large? The need is
equally imperative and the opportunities
for benefits to the producer still larger"
Referring directly to the automobile
Industry Mr.. Souther declared: 1T Is a
grave mistake to think. as some do, tina,
the business man can find no useful place
In the society. On the contrary. the bust
ness man accelerates the action of our
standards committee wherever one is
found as member

count of the second hand automobile ad-

FAvORS CLOTH UPHOLSTERY.
Velie Man Says II Will ne Standard
for City Cara.

Cloth upholstery on cars used for city
driving Is soon going to be standard" says
G. T.. Giltner. director of sales OF the
velic. THE white bodied touring car
which we are exhibiting al the show with
gray whlpcord upholstery Is attracting
favorable comment from people whose use
Of a car is largely IN the cities and over
fine boulevards.
zone reason for the increase In cloth
upholstery is its comfort. Then again
cloth upholstery can be easily cleaned and
be kept clean, and II does not have the
tendency to shine ones clothes. which is
often rather Objectionable. The type Of
whipcord we are using Is waterproof. so
that the owner need not fear being caught
In the rain.
Cloth can be obtained in colors TO
blend harmon!ously with the car IN which
1t IL used. This will always be at
tractive to women buyers. whose influence
on sales Is being felt more and more every
year"
