Exports of automobiles from the Unit
ed States in the last fiscal year eclipsed
all previous records, amounting to $4O,-
100000 in value. Figures today by the
Department Of Commerce, however, show
a remarkable decrease in the exports in
August as a result of the European war,
having fallen to 451 auto and motor
trucks, compared with 1904 in the cor
responding period last year. Canada was
the largest purchaser of automobiles.

Collier Jason to Convey Gifts.
Children of America, hasten with
your gifts for the Christmas ship! The
sooner you turn them in the better.
They have to be sorted and packed
and distributed among the warning ma
tons This will take time. And the
ship will sail from Brooklyn November
10.
OF course, the work of sorting and
packing and slowing will take some
days, you can see the need of haste.
But you have been asking:
What. ship has been designated by
the Secretary of the Navy to convey
the gifts to Europe?"
1t is the big, new collier Jason, Of
ficered by Americans and manned by
Americans. Every one Of them Is a
bluejacket. Every one OF them be-
longs to your country. Every one OF
them will have personal interest in
seeing that your gifts arrive safely
at their several destinations.
Valuable Part of the Navy.
Such a stout ship is the Jason. She
belongs as much to the navy. she is as
much part of the fighting fleet, as is
a battleship. Without her, and vessels
of similar type the battleships could
not operate across the seas. 1t is the
duty of these vessels to carry supplies
of coal and oil and spare parts of
machinery to points where they are
transshipped to the waiting fighting
craft But for your purpose she is
more useful than a battleship. For a
battleship is so loaded with armor and
guns and ammunition and steam ma
chinery and electrical machinery and
coal and other stores, that 1t has very
little space for the carriage of any
other kind of goods.
The Jason. on the other hand. will be
able to carry, besides your gifts. coal
and stores to the armored cruisers
North Carolina and Tennessee, now
cruising in the Mediterranean. She is
such tremendous thing. Is the Jason.
bigger than any ship you perhaps have
ever seen. She is 536 feet long and IS feet
wide. To put her length In another way
so you will understand it, you would have
to take more than $50 steps in order
to walk from one end to the other.
Longer Than Many City Blocks.
You can get the idea in this way:
Take 536 steps yourself. stretching your
legs just as far as you can. When you
have done this look back to the point
of starting. You will find she is longer
than many city blocks.
Her hold is thirty-six feet. three
inches deep: she has a displacement OF
1912 tons, and she can carry 10000
tons. She is made of steel throughout,
and her cost was $4,000. and she is
only one year old.
When she is fully loaded she will
make 14.32 knots an hour. This Isn't
the speed of liner, by any means. but
1t Is fast for a collier. The naval ex-
perts estimate that to get to England
she will be steaming steadily for twelve
or thirteen days.
Equipped With the Wireless.
And what also will interest you is
this: She is equipped with a high
power wireless apparatus. So even
from midocean she can tell you how
hhs il getting along and all about the

liam y. Miller president of a Circle
Vile bank. his wife and sister of the
banker. and two other persons were
killed today when an interurban car
ran into the automobile driven by
Miller at AsheVille near here. The
gasoline tank of the machine instantly
exploded, setting fire TO the wreckage.
Passengers who escaped injury on the
car were unable to save those buried
under the debris because Of the fu-
riOuS blaze.

machine the gasoline tank on the au-
tomobile exploded. scattering flames
over the wreckage. Conductor Lang
lev was badly cut by broken glass. but
none of the passengers was injured.
Every member of the automobile
party met almost instant death. 1T is
the suppOsitiOn that Mrs. Staiger and
Mrs Hill were electrOcuted by con-
nection with the third rail. Their
bodies when recovered were rigid. and
although badly burned, it is believed
that death was instantaneous.
Harry Miller Il. son of the victims,
is the only surviving member Of the
Miller family. He owes his escape to
the fact that he was in high school
where he graduates in two weeks.
Rrth Hill was burned almost be-
yond recognition.
The Circlevine fire department was
rushed to the scene on a fiat car. but
was unable to check the flames and
the traction car was burned TO the
trucks.
