The Gadabout is new oyclecar

into the automobile field and Is

The Gadabout car is specially de-

the features of the little car are the

Philip Haseltine, treasurer and gen.
eral manager, in speaking of the new
type of car, said:
1--WE started the building of the
Gadabout a little over a year ago. We
have built two complete models and
have tested out two and four-eylinder
air-cooled motors, V belt drive, fric-
ton transmission, etc. We could have
put upon the streets a model last July
that would have done credit to us,
but 1t was not what we wanted. We
started out to build a high-class
cyclecar, and we have done 1t.
EARLY last fall after we had ar
rived at q point of development where
We knew just where we were,
We commenced to study the location
for a factory, and as the person
designated to do that work, conduct
ed an investigation of thirty different
cities and finally made a choice of
Newark, and | succeeded in securing

allow us a daily output of fifty cars.

strength in some vital feature in Or
der TO maintain a popular price.
Wise automobile buyers know what
they want and what they do not, and
spectacular features are discounted
9and 9-10 per cent. even before the
purchaser has gone into the details
of the car itself.
And because of the limited demand
for such features, due to the fact
that the conservative manufacturer
has found them of no real value, the
cost of building them into the car in
creases in much greater proportion
than the cost Of building into the
car real vital usable features.
Thousands Of devices 20 be uses on
automobiles are being brought out
every month and a remarkably
small percentage OF these are of real
value, yet the majority of them get
used somewhere. This means that
the buyer who is not careful to ex-
anime every feature of his car. finds
that he has something that he cannot
use, the cost of which has made it
necessary for the manufacturer to
take away from some other part of
the car.
+. OF course, such features as electric
lighting and starting, speed indicators,
etc, are requisites of the properly
equipped automobile. but the number
of these requisites is limited. If
features which were not of actual
disable value to the owner did not
creep into the working parts, but
were confined merely to accessories,
there would probably be much less

Commends Congressman Stout.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Secretary
Franklin X. Lane Of the interior de
partment has written personal letter
to congressman Stout thanking him
for the part he took in the passage by
the house of the administration con-
servatiOn measures.
Congressman Stout, as a member Of
the public lands committee and of the
committee on irrigation of arid lands,
took an active and important part in
shaping three of the great administra-
ton bills to which Secretary Lane re-
fers. These are the reclamation eXten-
sion bill, the Alaska coal leasing bill
and the water power bill. The COM
mittee spent solid year on their pre-
paration, giving hearings to interested
parties and working to bring about
the use of the nations natural re-
sources while retaining effective con-
troll over their development. During
the consideration of the bills in the
house, Mr.. Stout took an active part
in the debate.

Food Shortage In Brussels.

London, Oct. 2.-Seven hundred
thousand persons in Brussels are fac
ing starvation, according to Hungh
Gibson. secretary of the American EN-.
bassy there, who is in this city. The
last apportionment of -four to the citi-
zens of Brussels will be given out this
afternoon and other staples are very
nearly all consumed.
Efforts to get food from Antwerp
have failed. lnasmuch as Brussels is
in charge of the Germans. it is in
effect German territory. Neutral ma
tions could not undertake to supply
food to Brussels, even if transporta-
tion facilities were normal
In dispatch from Amsterdam the
correspondent of the Central News
says advices reaching there today
from Brussels set forth that there is
every reason to anticipate the early
withdrawal of the Germans from the
Belgium capital. Wounded men are
being sent back to Germany, he says,
and the German official documents are
being packed up.

Improve Parcel Post.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Seattle, Port

added today to the list of cities which
will receive the "farm-to.table" SER
vice Of the parcel post.
Farmers and truck growers in the
territory contiguous to these cities
may furnish to the postmasters lists
of the articles which they can send to
customers by parcel post. The post
masters in turn will have printed lists
of farmers and of the articles they
can supply. These lists will be dis
tributed in the cities by mail carriers.
Prospective customers then may order
directly from the producers.
Postmaster General Burleson said
today the experimental service estab-
lished in the first IL cities had work
ed so successfully that he felt amply
warranted in extending the service.

Expenditures Exceed Revenue.

Washington, Oct, 2.-Although gov
ernment revenues from customs fell
off about $9,50O,000 during September
compared with the same month in
1913, the treasury officials found some
comfort in figures showing recent ex-
ports in grain and cotton. There was
encouragement, too, in the announce
ment that for September the ordinary
internal revenue receipts were almost
Sc, 100000 above those for last Sep
tember. although this increase is said
to be due to unusual causes most un-
likely to figure in future months. De-
spite the help from increased internal
revenue, the total receipts for the
month from all sources were nearly
$6.000,000 under last September and
the excess of disbursements for the
month was nearly $9,500.0O0.

Relief For Wall Street Clerks.

New York, Oct. 2.-The bank and
trust companies today were requested
to assist in finding positions for Wall
street clerks who have been idle a
whole or part Of the time since the
stock exchange closed soon after the
war was declared in Europe.
Yesterday Wall street, which sell
dom feels the pinch of hard times ex-
perienced by employees of commercial
and manufacturing concerns. saw the
unusual spectacle of 100 clerks
among them three women. standing
in line waiting to apply for aid. These
clerks, formerly employed in financial
district brokerage houses. who sought
relief or work to tide them over the
present dull period caused by the war,
came in response to notices that their
former employers had organized a
committee for their relief.

WAR REPORTS CONFLICT
Claims Of Allied Forces Denied BY
German Report of Situation.

London, Oct 4.-Having repulsed
the German attacks, presumably in the
vicinity of Roye, the French, accord
ing to the official communication is.
sued this afternoon at Paris, have
resumed the offensive at several
points, while other positions on their
left have been appreciably maintain
ed.
The great effort of the allies to en-
velop the German right, therefore,
may be said to be again in operation,
and it is believed that the whole
French column from Roye northward
to Aras is moving eastward against
the German position.
The Germans have had long time
in which to make their position Sc
cure, SO there is lot of hard fighting
ahead for both the attacking forces
and the defense.
Unusual activity in the publicity de-
partment of the German and Austrian
army headquarters has furnished an
account of the results of current bat
ties differing so radically from those
from the camps of their opponents as
to render the widely divergent state
ments irreconcilable.
In regard to the battle of the Aisne
there is only single point on which
the French and German reports agree
and that it that General Won Kluck is
still going northward, though at a
snails pace, and that he is so power
full that General Poffre has been oblig-
ed to admit that the German COM
mander has been able to make a
French detachment debouching from
Arras to fall back.

Will Change Revenue Bill.

Washington, Oct. democrats of
the senate subcommittee on finance
voted today to substitute for the tax
OF two cents gallon on gasoline in
the war revenue bill a tax on owners
OF 20 cents per horsepower on auto
mobiles and 81 per horsepower on
automobile sales by manufacturers.
The committee estimates that it would
yield an annual revenue of $16,00O,-
600. An owner of a 30 horsepower car
would pay an annual tax of $3.50 and
a manufacturer selling such machine
would pay $50.
Senator Williams introduced amend
ments to tax all government employ
es except the president, supreme court
justices and congressman, one half of
one per cent of their salaries and to
eliminate the tax on casualty. damage
and accident insurance. Another
amendment would tax retail liquor
dealers from $25 to $500 a year ac-
cording to the volume of their busi-
ness. Senator Thompson of Kansas
proposed an amendment to increase
the internal revenue tax on distilled
liquors from $1.10 gallon to 1925 on
liquors in bond and hereafter pro.
duced.

THREE WEEKS BATTLE
Military Experts Believe Allied Fore.
es Have Gained Advantage.

London, Oct. 1.-The battle of the
Aisne, now nearing the end of its
third week, will soon outstrip in re.
spect to time, the contest fought at
Mukden nearly 10 years ago, but still
no decisive result has been accom-.
plished by either side.
The French official communication
issued this afternoon, which was con.
densed into about 80 words. was one
of the shortest given to the public
since the war began. 1t records that
progress has been made by both right
and left wings of the allied armies,
but gives absolutely no details of the
extent of the progress between the
lines.
Military experts. however, believe
that the claws, as they have been de-
scribed, continue to clutch at the out
spread wings Of the German army
particularly the right which forms the
upright portion of the "L," and now
has its back to the east, fighting with
desperation to prevent the French left
from encircling or smashing it along
most of the front, estimated at $50
miles in length.

President Outlines Program.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Outlining the
legislative program for the remainder
of the session of congress, President
Wilson told callers today that no eX-
ira session in November was contem-
plated. He added that only some eX.
traordinary emergency would necessi-
tate an extra session following ad-
journment of the short session in
March. The president said the war
tax bill, the Clayton antitrust bill and
the Alaska coal leasing bill would
complete the important work for the
present session. October Is is the
date tentatively agreed on.
Asked about the threats by Repre-.
sentative Henry of Texas to fight
against an adjournment until cotton
relief measures We're passed, the pres
ident said that the membership of the
house rather than Mr.. Henry would
decide when to adjourn.
For the next session the program as
outlined by the president will include
the Alexander ship purchase bill, the
Philippine bill, the general leasing
bill, the general land bill, the general
dam bill and the usual appropriation
bills

MAKING SLOW PROGRESS.
British Reports Admit That Germans
Make Stubborn FiQht.

London, Oct. 2.-Unless all signs
France, or at any rate most of them,
are nearing the completion of their
round trip. This it is held here is the
only conclusion--hinted at even by the
Berlin newspapers-to be drawn from
the reports both official and unof1i cial,
tion.
1t is evident that the progress of
the allies on their left is considerable
while the hole through which the Ger
mans might have pierced the line OF
French fortresses on the Meuse river
side has been stopped.
The fierce battling ground around
the heights of Roye to the northwest
OF NOyon seems to have ended in fav-
or of France. The heights were
captured by General Won Klucks men
on Wednesday, but on Friday, accord
ing to French report, the allies re-
gained control of the position.
In staten ent received by wireless
from Berlin, the German headquarters
announced that the great battle in
France remains undecided. The Ger
mans, with their heavy artillery, are
hammering the positions of the allies
at many points. The allies were re-
pulsed in their attempts to break the
German lines. The German statements
say the heaviest losses have been in
the Argoenne region.

MAY OUTFLANK GERMANS
Allied Armies Make Desperate Effort
Against RiQht Wjnu.

London, Sept 3O.-The nineteenth
day of the battle of the Aisne finds
the allied armies pushing with all the
strength they can bring to bear in
their great effort to outflank the Ger.
man right wing and force it back
from its lines of communication
through Belgium. There is evidence
that this movement is beginning to
tell, and that unless something un-
foreseen happens, at least a portion
of the German army must fall back to
another defensive line.
The allies commanders are hus-
banding their mems lives to the great
est possible extent by keeping them
from frontal attacks on positions
where the Germans are in advanta-
geous situations, but, whenever the
plan of campaign necessitates direct
attacks, the French and British SOL
diers go forward cheerfully with the
utmost confidence in their leaders.
