MONSTROS|TY'S DAY =
GONE, SAYS W|LLYS
This Is Period of Beautiful Lines
in Cars as Well as Power
and Comfort. .
By JOHN N. wILLYS.

Exit the motor car monstrosity. It
has made Its appearance, remained on
the stage longer perhaps than it should
have, and now makes way for its sue
cessor. This is the day of beauty, as
we'll as utility and power and comfort,
in the automobile field.
There have been a variety of mon
strosities In motor car building since the
inception Of the industry. There was
the crude, makeshift chassis assembly
and the homeiy, angular body; some
cars showed curieycues and holdings fit
only for milady's boudoir. All these are
gone now; condemned to the limbo of
forgotten mistakes and misconceptions:
The symmetrical, beautiful car, with raj
uniformity and relation Of parts, has
come into It's own. !.
The modern automobile Is one COM
bining long, graceful curves with round
ed corners and clean appearance with
an effect Of implied power, speed and
stability most pleasing to the sight. And
TINS improved design Is not confined SOLE
" TO gh-prfced cars, The automobile
produced In quantities, and therefore at
low price, Is just as beautiful as its
$4,000 brother On any drive in the world.
The purchaser gets just as much SYM
metry and Just as many clean stream
line effects in the $3.50 car as he does
in car costing six times more money.
Though few people realize 1t, the
responsible for the Improvement in mo-
tor car design. The buggy and coach
builder were found wanting when the
automobile manufacturer began seek
ing means and methods Of identifying
his product. They had reached the
limits of their ability in the ponderous
and highly ornamented state coach # a
few years ago. The shipbuilder supplied
the ideas and designs needed, and the
modern, streamline body Is the result.
The introduction Of the curvezin nu-
tomobile building has been an interest
Ing development. The first progressive
body builder decided that what his crea-
ton needed was curve wherever an
angle had heretofore been utilized, but
he did not realize that beauteous as a
curve might be in the right place, moth
ing could be ugiier than to introduce II
where 1t was not needed and particu-
larry when 1t picked fight" with a
half dozen meaningless convolutions.
For time some motor cars were mere
ly q conglomeration Of curves and
twists, but that stage was passed when
some fortunate designer hit upon the
streamline effect, which Is evidenced in
every up-to-date car made today.
Another feature in which the automo-
bile has been greatly improved Is in the
conformation of body and chassis lines.
One no longer sees a car with small
wheels in front and big ones in the rear,
nor with a flight of little tin steps lead
ing from a point near the ground 70 a
collection OF foorboards that locked
heavy enough for the deck of a dread
nought. The hood Of the modern motor
car Is made to fit nowadays, though in
the past little "one-lungers" sometimes
had a mood big enough for 100-horse-
power racing motor.

The great increase in the number Of
women who are becoming drivers Of au-
tomobiles,. particularly electric ma
chines,' has prompted well-known deal
er who specializes in cars of the cleo
trio type. to give out some interesting
Information about teaching women to
drive
THE first thing to explain is, of
course. the controls, and. in general,
how the controls give certain results"
said he. There is no need to go into
the details of battery construction or a
thing which has to do with the actual
operation Of the car should be taught.
This is the easy part though many
amusing questions are asked during
this stage of advancement.
Next comes the road work, and often
1t is advisable to let the fair driver
work out as much as possible her own
salvation without too much suggestion,
and no first lessons should be at
tempted in traffic. Too much instruc-
main ideas, one mechanical thing at a
time being enough for the average
learner.
One Woman's Experience.
"a certain woman learning to drive
showed great nervousness. The teach
era relative-was most anxious that
she should do the thing right and hence
advised her Just what to do, criticised
her method at times and, by the end
Of half hours lesson, had the woman
entirely exhausted and too nervous and
scary to operate the vehicle. He, on
the side, let out the information that he
did not think she could learn, she was
too nervous.
THE next morning however, entirely
unknown to the rest of the house, this
woman took the car out alone, worked
out the driving by herself without the
least trouble and after breakfast took
her husband out for an eJ ended drive
without any sign of nervousness. Work
ing alone she was not self-conscious as
she was when she knew that every
move vas being critically watched.

ITALIANS In REVOLT
REPC5Lic is PROCLAIMED BY
THE PEASANTS.
Anarchists Reports of Success in
Northeast Lead to Display of New
Flag-Riotous Scenes Enacted.

Rome, June 15.-The threatened rail
way strike throughout Italy has been
abandoned, but the most serious stu
alton exists in the province of Ra-
VIENNA, where villages and small towns
are being ruled by the local republican
committees which have armed the in
habitants, thus giving the ignorant
masses the impression that all kinds
of violence will be permitted
Churches and clubs have been
sacked or burned, but In the case of
private residences the revolutionists
have asked the owners permission to
take possession of their belongings.
These have been sold for almost moth
ing, In orded to give the poorer peo-
pie the impression that the republic"
will maintain it's promise to bring
back the golden age and end forever
the high cost of living. Ten thousand
soldiers are gradually being spread
throughout the province.
An outstanding feature in the gen.
eral strike situation was the news re-
reived at the capital of the proclama-
ton of an Italian republic by the peo-
pie of several towns bordering on the
Adriatic, in northeastern Italy
In some towns, including Fabriano
and Rimini, scenes similar to those Of
the French revolution were enacted.
The inhabitants, misled by reports is
sued from the headquarters of the an
archist committee at Ancona, an i'm
portant seaport on the Adiatic, to the
effect that a revolutionary movement
had been successful in overthrowing
the monarchy, proclaimed a republic
and substituted for the national flag
the black banner of the Peasants
league.
All the newspapers were burned the
moment they reached those towns in
order to prevent the people from know
ing the real condition of the country,
as the revolutionary leaders had stat
ed that King Victor Emmanuel had es-
capped to Montenegro, that the revo-
luton had mastered the entire PENN
sula and that the troops had joined
with the people.
In some instances the soldiers were
compelled to fire on the people before
order was restored, with the result
that several persons were killed or in
jured.
The tension caused by the general
strike was ameliorated somewhat by
the announcement that the syndicate
of railway men had ordered cessa-
ton of the railway strike throughout
Italy.

Whiskey Poison
Killed By Neal
Treatment

Modern medical science teaches
your knowledge of the many wrecks"
of formerly good men and the bitter
experience of mankind proves, that
poison of alcohol is always retained in
the system of the person who INDUCES
constantly or at times excessively, and
very frequently from very moderate
or only occasional indulgence by high
class men and women of sedentarv
habits who are most susceptible to the
poison of alcohol
Some of the symptoms and effects
of Alcoholic poisoning are desire, and
craving for liquor, nervousness, loss of
appetite, sleeplessness, restlessness,
headaches, heart, stomach, liver, kid
ney and other serious disorders and
ailments.
Not only is elimination the only cure
for these serious ''whiskey disorders, -
but the diseased man will not and can
not quit drinking so long as this viru-
lent poison remains in his system de-
handing more and more ''fuel for the
fire" until outraged nature rebels and
demands the penalty insanity or I'M
timely death.
The Neal Treatment acts as an an
tidote for the poison of Alcohol, neut-
rallies its effects upon the functions
and tissues of the body and eliminates
1T from the system-it removes the
cause so easily, quickly and effectively
that in from three to seven days the
normal man returns to his home and
usual work with loathing instead of a
craving for liquor perfectly cured.
The Neal Treatment appeals to and
is patronized by high-class men and
women who seek it, benefits the same
as they seek medical help for other
serious human ailments. 1t may be
taken at any one of the sixty splendid
Neal Institutes established in principal
cities. Treatment at home, hotel or
club in moderate" cases will be ar
ranged for upon application.
There are no dangerous hypodermic
injections used; No injury to health;
no bad after effects. For free booklet

SECOND PROTOCOL EXPECTED
May Be Written Soon at

them into the hands of the rebels, and
asked if they should withdraw from

Washington, June 15.-Further def
mite results in the Mexican mediation

for by officials of the Washington gov

being based on communications re-
ceived from the American representa-
tives who were in touch with Secre-
tary Bryan. No word of any actual

stated that the mediators and parties
to the conference had talked over the
character of the proposed provisional
government to be instituted in accord
ance with the protocol signed on Fri
day by the representatives of Huerta
and the United States.
In several sources the attitude of
