LOCALIZED gambling, that is the reviving

highway robbery. Well, It's hard indeed TO
say what a politician will do, for the sake
of obtaining a few votes, or perhaps a little

Discusses Development
 of Streamline Bodies

because very few people knew how
 to make streamline bodies and crowned
 lenders they were not used on auto
 mobiles until within the last year or
 so, asserts charles w. Tway, southern distributor for the Haynes motor car. "The most logical material from Which to build bodies is sheet steel" MT. Tway states, but the difficulty comes in obtaining the desired curves ana general contour. The first sheet steel bodies were laboriously worked
 up and shaped by hand with the aid or small power hammers and foot presses The metal would be thin at
 one curve and unduly thick at an other, so that the results were gen erally unsatisfactory
 Tn keeping with the history of the
 automobile industry, Improvements
 have come rapidly and now the bodies are formed in gigantic presses. Any de-
 sired curve or streamline effect may be obtained by merely altering the shape of the dies of the press. The streamline body of the new Haynes light six car represents the latest achievement of the body makers The long sweeping lines are pressed into the steel under great pressure and there is no hammering out at any point
 In order to develop the curves. Conse- quently the steel Is of uniform thick
 ness and strength at all points All joints are electrically welded at the doors, so that the finished body Is ac- tually composed of single piece of
 sheet steel without seams. A light con struction Is obtained Tn combination with the desired rigidity.
 Following the success of the stream
 line body came the first crowned fend- CTS These are being pressed out in
 dies, but the chief objection to the i process Is that a heavy gauge steel
 must be used to make a durable fend- | CT. The latest practice is to roll the
 crown into the fender by passing the shaped fender between concave and
 convex rollers. Medium gauge steel can
 be used, which not only becomes very rigid on account of the arched ef-
 feet of the crown, but materially aids | in reducing the total weight of the car. The combination of the stream
 line body and the crowned lenders give
 the most pleasing appearance that has
 yet been attained in an automobile"

No Increases Will Be Made
 In Prince of Ajax Tires

Although increases in prices of mo- tor car tires amounting to 15 and 20 per cent have been made by many
 makers, the Ajax-Grieb Rubber com
 pany announces that no advance in the list prices of Ajax tires would be made for the tires now in stock, and for the
 tires yet to be built from the crude rubber which the company has in its factory warehouses in Trenton, N. J. Speaking for the directors of the Ajax company, who have given thoughtful consideration to the diff
 ficult times met in the rubber manu featuring industry, Horace DeLisser, chairman of the Ajax board, says: Tt did not seem to us to be fair to fn- crease the price of tires already made and in stock at our branches and warehouses over the country. The prices at which tires Ajax are sold are based upon their cost to produce and the cost of manufactured tires, made and in stock, does not increase because of the disturbed conditions abroad. Nor yet does it seem fair to increase the price of tires for which we have the crude rubber material on hand and available for use."
 "So then, as long as our stock now on hand lasts. and let me emphasize. so long as our crude rubber supply holds out, no increase in the price of Ajax tires will be made. Unfortunate ly, perhaps. in such a time as this, our stock of finished tires is small, for this is the motoring season and the demand for Ajax tires is always greater than the supply though our factories have run "A hours daily in three shifts for nearly four years. We probably have, at this time, smaller stock of tires on hand. in proportion to our production, than most makers and so our attitude
 cannot. be charged to a frenzy of ur- gent need to move large unsold stock. We have, in fact. but a mini mum supply of tires to sell"

Jeffrey model has incorporated this European feature and both on account of this and also because the new model has the appareance of a high priced Peugeot or Delage, It Is the topic of much comment

The claims made for the worm drive would seem to be substantiated by its silent smooth and efficient operation and economy Of fuel The worm and pipfon being constantly in contact eliminates

new move, Manager Hodges of the High land garage, local distributor for the Olds. mas the following to say:
 Tt is superfiuous to remind businesss men that price hinges on output. That iact is fundamental When We brought out the first few hundred cars of Model 42, our new light Four we established price based upon a relatively small factory order. This price. slS5o, was made possible by the fact that practically every car or the first lot had buyer ready ana waiting for it, so that the sales and advertising expense was an almost negli- gible quantity.
 By the time the last Of the fleet was out or the factory, the success of the new model was assured so eonclusively that the following factory order was increased many 1old. So it meant an output meas ured In thousands instead of the modest hundreds that We first planned on. And the result is that the public is going to be repaid for its indorsement of this car by pocketing the $6S per car that bigger production saves In the factory cost" The Maxwell company has also made reductions in its 1915 touring car and roadster- The touring car has been re- duced to SBs5 and the roadster to s67o. The supplementary news that r new features had been added to the Maxwell car, and that for S55 more an electric self-starter and electric lighting system would be supplied, has caused much in- terest.
 Within a year the Maxwell Motor com pany, incorporated, has sprung from the quietly energetic concern to be one of the biggest and most powerful factors in the automobile business.
 To produce such car as the Maxwell at sS6S5 is considered by experts to be the biggest achievement in the automo- bile world today.
 But the price problem simplifies itself whom one recalls what a tremendous chain of factories and great organizations lie behind each carl how materially the cost of each car Is brought down to rock bottom figures by the economies found in manufacturing on an enormous scale.
 'As I previously remarked" said Pres ident Walter E. Flanders of the Maxwell Motor company, incorporated, q believe that the demand for the new Maxwell will be extraordinarily large, but we will be able to meet that demand satisfac- torily Our 1915 schedule calls for 1000 cars. but we will be able to build a greater number because of the expansion of our facilities and the constant increase In the number of our workmen. We want our dealers everywhere to feel and the general buying public, too, that there will be no disappointments in the matter of delivering cars. We are equipped now to minimize all delays"

Maxwells Are Anxious
 About Agents IL War Zone

Anxiety is being felt at Detroit at the Maxwell Motor company con- cerning the whereabouts of several of its representatives.
 Arnold Foerster. Maxwell representa- tive in Austria and captain of cav airy troop in the Austrian army, has undoubtedly Joined his troop as no communication has been received from him in several days. MT. Forester is thoroughly trained in army tactics. and has won several medals of honor in the service of his country.
 Another foreigner whose patriotism has called him to his countrys aid is "a Russian, Count Krysanowsky, one of the abIest men in the MaxwelPs s foreign field Count Krysanowsky was Hast heard from in Paris on his way | to Brussels. He also holds a cap taincy in the army of his fatherland and without doubt has returned to
 Russia

 Maxwell Motor company. MT. Redden

 The latest reduction in the Oldsmobile amounts to s6o.

BoxING-ALL THE LATEST DOPE BASEBALL


Decision BY Shade.
The reason is now plain why John
ny Kilbane, featherweight champion,
wanted no decision in his fight with
Gene belmont at Memphis last night
For eight rounds the two little men
worried along and at the end neither
had red spot where a hard blow
had landed.
On pure cleVerness and flashy work
Kilbane had the edge, and he might
have been given decision without
question. But evidently the>title hold
er was leaving nothing to chance. In.
only two of the eight rounds did he
extend himself enough to give the 60
the semblance Of a contest
In the other rounds belmont did his
poor best to clash at close qarters
with the Clevelander, but Kilbane,
with superior cleverness, easily ward
ed off the attacks and remained on
the defensive. He was roundly Missed
by the spectators, but cared not, as
he was dragging down the coin just
the same.
= Matty Mccue and Joe Mandot are
in tangle over their scheduled Ra-
cine fight and the battle may be call
ed off entirely. McCue and the pro-
moters want the bout pulled of April
81, and Mandot is demanding that
April Is, the second date fixed on, be
adhered to.
Mandot has a fight partially ar
ranged with Johnny Dundee in New
York April 25, and cannot make the
two battles.
Kid Williams, bantamweight heir
apparent, ran into a tough boy in
colored person named Louisiana at
Philadelphia last night and had to
rally desperately to get six-round
decision. The Baltimorean loafed |
through the early rounds and had to !
come fast in the sixth to win.

Thomas Asks Waivers on Six Cubs
Feds Change Quarters.

President Thomas of the Cubs is
responsible for the information that
waivers have been asked on six of the
men now sporting Cub uniforms. The
new executive by league rule is I'M
able to give out the names of the
gents slated for departure and would
not even say what positions the play
ers were after
It is cinch, however, that all of.
the men to depart are recruits. No
breaks will occur in the veteran align
ment, as O'Day is satisfied With the
work of the old-timers and young,
men with major league experience.
It is probable that three of the fell,
lows to fall are infielders, Heating,
Bronkie> and Mollwitz. Heating, a.,
young shortstop, is too light for
major league company now. He is
clever in the fielding end, but has not
the punch and eye to cope with big
league pitching. A berth will be found
for him with some strong minorsquad
if the other big league clubs waive on
him.
Bronkie is not a major league play
er, never was and never will be. He is
one of the peculiar fellows who can
star in the minors, but fail absolutely
when in the bright glare of the big,
top calcium. Up with Cleveland once
before, he fell, was sent to Toledo,
made a good record and was picked
on its strength. He will certainly go
to Glass AA team, and is in demand
by Indianapolis.
MoIIwitz is another proposition.
Only the mastodonic presence of Vic
Safer prevents this boy becoming a
West Side regular. He has all the
qualifications of star, but there is
no place for him. 1t is doubtful
some of the other managers
will waive. In that case he stands a
fine chance Of heinp retainad not for
