It is prob able that special rules will be provid- ed to limit debate on the supply meas ures. The failure Of one or more Of the controverted- bills Co pass by March would mean tho calling of an extra session.

THE JUNEAU LIBRARY

H ladies comprising the Juneau public library board have
 appealed for assistance in the matter of securing suc
 ient amount of money for the maintenance of the h6ary and reading recently established through the splendid e forts of the Juneau Draper Club The amount required is not large and the method adopted for securing it would seem to be far from working hardship anyone in the community This being the it would that the appeal for ass tance should meet with instant response from the people of JU neau.
 The board asking that three hundred Juneaus citizens pay fifty per month into the library fund for the maintenance of the institution Something over two hundred have already agreed to the plan and have paid portion years subscription at this rate but it will require an- other hundred subscriptions at the rate make the ns tuition the months Surely Juneau will meet this dernand-she cannot afford to do otherwise

 where hourly l converse with old sages and phlo-

MANY FREAKS IN
EUROPEAN CARS
American Manufacturer Discusses the Cars
in EurOpe-EVery Man Buys Body
10 Suit Himself.


Following his recent trip abroad, s. D.
Walden. vice president Of the Packard Mo-
tor Car company, makes some interesting
comments on the trend Of European design.
There are two distinct schools in Eu-
ropean coach work. says Mr. Walden. Ger
many and Belgium go almost exclusively to
well rounded exteriOrs, while France adheres
to square corners with only q slight arch in
the roofs OF enclosed bodies England draws
from both and makes her open bodies along
German lines, with enclosed bodies tending
more toward the French design.
Almost ell European factories build the
chassis only and force the purchaser to go
70 one Of the numerous carriage makers for
the body Consequently there are almost as
many different designs of body as there are
Of chassis
MANY unusual designs are being shown
abroad, including the boat body with its
copper riveted. laminated wood sides and
either without doors at all or with very shall
low ones. Another freak style is the aviation
limousine with windows in the roof.
Design abroad has always been in the
direction Of getting the entire car closer to
the present strong tendency in the direction
OF very small cars. this is more noticeable
than ever before. It is not unusual to see
enclosed cars, alongside Of which it is pos
sible for a six foot man to stand and see
over the roof. This is extreme. of course.
fad and partly to the necessity Of reducing
the chassis and body weight to the power
capacity Of the small engine
While the growing preference for the Six
is not so marked in Europe as in this coun-
try, there are indications, particularly in
cylinder design even for comparatively small
cars"

PULLMAN CAR NOW
SOLD IN Ell PASO
First Shipment Of These Cars Arrives Here;
FoTuerly Sold Only East OF the
Mississippi.
A new arrival in the automobile market


A new arrival in the automobile market
Of Ell Paso is the Pullman automobile, made
in York, Pa This is one Of the cars
which has proved itself in the east and the
market for it east of the Missouri river
has been so great that the makers have
only recently sought the western market
The Pullman has some features that are
distinctive, but not as novel as they are
practical The wire wheel, now greatly
used and preferred in Europe, is used on
the Pullman. 1t is claimed that this wheel
greatly aIleviates the wear on tires and
promotes easy riding qualities peculiar to
itself.
What is called a 'one-man top is another
equipment Of the Pullman. supposedly
called so because it can be raised and low
cred by one man There are no braces in
the way all connection Of the top with the
body being on the back seat and wind
shield. The clear space between gives a
very clean effect to the top and body Of
the car. The body Of the car is OF the
straight line type SO popular this year.
Two car loads Of these autos have been
unioadsd by the American garage, some
OF which are already sold This shipment
includes both the big and little "six" and
the four touring cars. The Pullman is
fitted with the Vulcan gear shift, and is all
electrically controlled One Of the prettiest
roadsters produced this year is also made
by the Pullman people

FOUR AND SIX
CYLINDER CARS
Cadillac Man Discusses the Two and Says
the -Four is Ample For All
Touring Usages.


the -Four is Ample For All
Touring Usages.
why so much discussion about whether
1914 is a four or six cylinder year?" asked
E. C. Howard, Cadillac sales manager 1T
is not a subject which calls for discussion,
but simply a matter Of fact There are
only two conditions which can determine
the question. One is that either the four
or the six shall outnumber the other in the
quantity Of production The other is that
the value Of the output Of either shall eX-
coed the other. It is proved from reliable
statistics that for every six cylinder car
produced or to be produced this year. there
will be from eight TO ten four cylinder cars
1.-THE growing tendency Of even the rich
buyer Of autos these days seems to be to-
ward the four cylinder car. The reasons
apparently are that the four cylinder car
of today will develop all the power needed
for even extensive touring. Another reason
is the increased rOominess Of the body Of
the four. The difference in cost is also
taken into consideration by all people buy
ing cars along with the lesser cost on up
keep on the four.
1.-THE Cadillac company has already
shipped more than $500 of the 1914 model
and that itself is probably more than all
the six cylinder cars combined selling at
more than the Cadillac price"
