Paris, whereby society leaders will per-

LUXURIOUS AER0S IN EUROPE

trembling violently in a wind that would
scarcely be noticed now.
As regards comfort and mechanical as
sistance, the airman today is as well on
in his aeroplane as in a luxurious motor
car. He sits in an armchair padded with
soft morocco leather. Behind him are
little cupboards for his kit, tools. or
luncheon. In front of him, on a gleam-
ing mahogany splashboard, are his height
recorder, speed indicator, map, Compass
petrol gauge, watch, wind gauge, and the
indicator to show him at a glance the
angle at which he must bank the glide
With all these mechanical aids it is now
possible for any intelligent private owner
10 travel by air in the fullest comfort and
with no more danger than by motor car,
provided he is prudent and avoids taking
unnecessary risks
The present tendency of flying Is all
in the direction of long voyages. The
popularity Of flight round and round an
aerodrome. always within reach of the
repair shop, is disappearing fast. The
modern aeroplane is equipped with a
gasoline reservoir for nonstop flights of
eight or ten hours. instead Of the two
or three hours supply which used to be
the rule.

Odessa. JAN 1.-THE Moscow pre-

Of newly formed clube in that city, the

with billiards. chess. cards and other

IMP CYCLE GAR Will
Be IN CAPITAL SHOW
Tiny I2Horsepower Vehicle. Capable
Of 50 Miles an Hour. Expected
to Attract Attention.
WILL TRY TO BREAK RECORD

According to the insistent urgings OF
the management Of the Washington
Automobile Show. President W. II. Nc
Intyre. Of the Imp Cycle Car Company.
OF Auburn. Ind. has consented to send
an Imp cyclecar to the automobile show
next week % that the visitors attend

ington may have q chance to see this
new American vehicle and newest form
Of automobile transportation.

of fifty miles an hour and will carry
two passengers seated tandem fashion
comfortably. It 10 the most economical
kind Of q vehicle. as 1t will travel fifty

miles on one set Of tires. In addition,

ing, as DR.. Charles G. Percival. Of New
York City, who has the record for travel
ing further than any other man by auto
mobile and who took the famous Bull
Dog car into Alaska, will attempt to
drive the Imp that made the hazardous
drive from Detroit to New York City a
week ago In nine days. will attempt to
drive the second Imp from New York to

DR.. Percival will be accompanied by
Sales Manager Casey. Of the Imp Cycle

ord made by a 75-horsepower auto
mobile for the distance between New
York City and Washington.
The innovation of a generous produc-
ton Of lightweight motorcars like the
Imp at a price of $50 is expected to
revolutionize the automobile industry
and to put the small economical car
within the reach of the masses. AT

harmon FORTY-ONE'
Will BE A feature
New Machine Promises to Attract
Much Attention at Coming
Auto Exhibition.

What promises to be one Of the SEN
sations of the automobile show Is the
new Marmon "Forty-one." 1t Is the
biggest, as well as the latest. express
sion of the skill of its manufacturers, the
Nordyke & Marmo Co.
The Marmon ''Forty-one" is not a hur-
ried design. There are no weaknesses
due to haste, ignorance, or lack OF ex-
perience. There is nothing accidental
about it,. either good or bad. II Is a
thoroughly rational six-cylinder car OF
moderate size and power at reasonable
price. 1t is designed and built with ex-
actness as to weight, power, strength,
and safety at the highest speeds ana
under the heaviest strains. Its motor is
a marvel of smooth, velvety operation
and fiexibility. So minute has been the
effect to obtain absolute quiet that even
the cam shaft and valve tappets run In
circulating oil baths.
1t goes without saying that the electri-
cal equipment and manifold conVeniences
and Injuries are not only complete, but
the best that can be had.
The result is a remarkably easy riding
car Of ample capacity and power for five
passengers over the most difficult roads
and grades that throttles Gown to
crawl or goes at breathless speed without
gear shifting and has every convenience
and luxury of equipment known to mo-
tordom-and not a few that have been
heretofore unknown.
The motor has six cylinders, the dimen-
sions being 41-4-inch bore by 51-2-inch
stroke, L-head pattern cast three in
black. The cylinders are high grade,
close grained semi-steel castings which
makes for durability and they are OF a
design which provides large water circu-
lating space and large valves. The
valves are enclosed and the base OF the
cylinders on the valve side are extended
and finished to carry the valve tappets.
Thus when the cylinders are removed
the valve tappets are lifted Off with them
so that the valve adjustment is not dis
turbed. This feature also makes pos
sibIe the valve tappet lubricating system
which is fully described further on
The L-head type of motor reduces
weight requires only one cam shift and
one pair of cam gears and simplifes
the construction and makes 1t possible
to place such items as the water pump.
air pump, and magnetic in convenient
and accessible positions without inter-
ferring with valve accessibility. The
ignition is simplified, only one set of
plugs being necessary to obtain maxi
mum efficiency and the proximity OF
the intake manifold to the exhaust mani
ford facilitates carburation. This type
of construction results in a motor of
very clean-cut design accessible in all
parts and easily kept clean.

INCOME TAX REVEALS
LARGE AUTO MARKET
New Statistics Show $4,000 Persons

More.

Statistics formulated in Washington
at the time the income tax went into

they showed that there are in the Uni
ted States $1,000 persons with an income
of $4,000 year or more" said l.. H.
kittredge, president of the Peerless
hotorcar Company.
This indicates that the market for
high-grade motorcars is much larger
than most of us had supposed it was.
Every man who has an income of s15, 900
can amply afford to own and maintain a
motorcar Of the highest grade, and this

MADE IN PRIVATE PLOT
Pittsburgh, Pa, April 14.-Investi-
cation is being made into sixty
burials in the private plot of Under
taker o. ]. Goetz, in the United Gene
terry, at Westview. At the same time
examination was being made of all
burial permits issued to DR.. C. C.
Meredith, head of the Bellevue Sani-
tarium.
Goetz, who buried Mrs. Myrtle Alh-
son for DR.. Meredith, after her death
in the Meredith private maternity in
stitution, has told District Attorney
R. H. Jackson that not less than
three-score persons have been inter
red in the section Of ground held by
him.
The body of Mrs. Allison had been
placed right against another casket
1t was reported but not confirmed
that Goetz had confessed to having
conducted many funerals for Mere
dith. He said:
Il was often called at night and
had no cause to be suspicious when
sent for to bury Mrs. Allison"
Any lingering doubt as to the iden-
tity of the body disinteTTed were
swept away by close examination
of a piece of the quickhmed sub
stance in which the head was en-
cased. In destroying the features of
the corpse it hardened and pieces put
together were said to have given a
practically perfect death mask of
Mrs. Allison.

France earned this reputation through
many centuries when she deserved it,
but she has become a past mistress In
the art of the plain hat as in the tail

bit of straw. in such an admirable way
that 1t needs no trimming. and she has

Simplicity that ,iss not obtained through
this method is usually dowdy and is mis-
taken in the minds of the unlettered for
its more aristocratic cousin.
The French are not dowdy: at least
the Parisiennne who makes any pretense
Of dressing well can never be credited
with that fault. The woman who is

woman who is accredited with knowl-

habit of severe dressing for the out-of-

such wonderful street hats and coat suits
