INTEREST IN NEW FEATURES, SAYS HAYNES MAN

Never before in the history of the auto- mobile industry" said Hal NJ. Harris,
 has there been such a demand for new features. The buyers are growing more and more particular and discriminating
 every season, and the car without im-
 provements consistent with it's price is equally as passe as the hoop skirt or the powdered wig.
 "A glimpse of Americas s first car, on
 display at the Smithsonian institute in Washington, which was successfully oper- ated by Elwood Haynes. it's builder, on July 1, 1893, and then a ride in one of its
 latest models. which are controlled com
 pletely by electricity, even to the chang ing of gears by push buttons, is truly convincing of the phenomenally rapid progress that has bene made by the man. ufacturers.
 American naturalization of foreign theory has resulted in winning favor for
 the American made car abroad and our little brothers across the deep are begin ming to realize that We are on the alert
 when it comes to the actual doing of things.
 It is interesting to note that the presi-
 dent of the Odessa Automobile club of
 Odessa, Russia, has purchased a Haynes car equipped with the electric gear shift
 and that he is to enter it in the grand contest of Russia, to be held in August,

PROD|GAL SON B YEARS FINDS FATHER

B. V. Holt, aged 50. wealthy merchant of Syracuse, \. Y., walked thoughtfully to the front door of a residence at No. H2 Indiana avenue. this city, and rapped at the door says a Wichita, Kan, special to the New York World. It was not opened at the first knock and he rapped again. A moment later the door was opened by gray-haired man, who gazed at him rather suspiciousiy.
 'I am B. V. Holt" said the visitor.
 Well" remarked the aged man, you have the same name as myself What are you doing, selling something?'
 "No," said the visitor. "I just dropped in for little call
 Come on in. invited the older man.
 Seated in the parlor. the visitor turned to picture on the wall.
 "Who is that?" he inquired, for the pie ture represented q youth of about II or 15 years.
 That is my son. who disappeared from home 8 years ago responded the aged man.
 ''Yes, I recognize the picture" said the visitor. for I am the son"

Holt, aged 75, refused to believe. Then. as the other man recalled incidents of his hoyhood, the older mans hand went tremblingly to '.his boys shoulder, and ne acknowledged the son he had not seen for D years.
 Thirty-five years ago B. Y. Holt, then but b years old. ran away from Home be- cause his father had punished him for going swimming. The boy went to Chiea- go, where he become cash boy in a clothing store
 The younger Holt's rise to fortune might have furnished material for "Ris ing From a Cash Boy or "A Self-Made Runaway" for after 10 years he went to Syracuse, N. Y. where he started in bus mess for himself In the 35years that have elapsed he had not written to his parents.
 Some weeks ago the merchant decided to visit his old home. Farmer City, III. There he was told his family had moved to Lawrence, Kan. At Lawrence he found that his mother had died 20 years ago. after which his father had come to Wien ita with his sister.
 Coming to Wichita the long-lost son failed to find his fathers name in the di- rectory, but after making inquiries dis covered that J. C. Holt lived at the h. diana avenue address. His sister had married, but is now a widow.
 After a joyful reunon at the Holt home the returned son announced that he would take his father and sister with him back to New York, where they would not again be separated.

 From the first of the campaign the vorious candidates all took to the field in Cadillac cars.

 Law books and ordinances must be con suited to get the information needed to become proficient in answering these questions. The new policeman learns Jne difference in the calibre of the crime and the penalty when thief steals a hat from hatrack or from an owners head; or dollar from a till or from an owner s pocket. When he gets all through he is able to tell the district attorney q few | things about the penal code and the cor | poration counsel might find him an able assistant up 10 certain point. | He is able to tell when he has q right l to arrest and when not to arrest. and not 1 to make a bdnge of it. as many old time | policemen often did He knows when he
 may lawfully break open door and when he may not, He knows the proper pro- 1 cedure in cases of assault that he did not witness
 1 In addition to the cla ssifcation of crimes the new policeman has more than a score of ether subjects to study. These l include department, patrol, observa ton, | traffic, fires and accidents, ordinances, disorderly conduct and disorderly per- | sons. public morals, assault and danger ous weapons, court procedure, election law, public nusances, malicious mis thief Sabbath law and reports
 A schedule is prepared for each class. showing tle time recruits are at school and the hours for study of each subject. Several examinations are held during the course and then final eXamina ton. Each day review is had of the studies os the previous day.

 Commissioner Mckay views no division of his department with greater solicitude. In discussing the work he said:
 Any man who inspected the 60 men who have just gone out to help protect the municipality must have been impressed with their fitness. Their examination papers proved their mental attainmenrs. The gymnasium proved their physical adaptability. l am proud of them and think the city will have reason to be. It is a department to which l am giving the very greatest measure at attention pos sibe because as the new blood is, so must the future policeman be. His tratn- will be bound to show"
 Since last October 750 patrolmen have been appointed after passing through the school training in it's present form. Five hundred were sent in one batch to the fourth inspection district and made good. Then 40 more were sent to the Twenty nineth precinct and made good Forty more were sent out few months ago and split up among the various precincts.
 The last class of 60 was appointed De- cember 19 1913. and went out last week. According to their instructors every one of them knows what to do and when and where and how to do it. Each may be depended on to do his part in proving that New York is properly and effectively po- Heed, they say.

 The general public has known for a long time that new policemen receive some sort of training, but has been hay regarding the details. After the new policeman is appointed from the municipal civil service list it is known that he passes a physical examination. After that he begins nine day period of tuition. in which no school boy has to tackle lessons more system atieally,

 Exclusive manufacturers of six cylin-
 der motor cars have used the name | Odsmobile in their publicity campaigns 1 in order to clinch their argument that all makers of high grade cars were now | manufacturing sixes to the exclusion of | fours.
 | We did not occupy a position for the Iast year which would, on the face of | it. indicate that were makers of | sizes exclusively-while we were making | nc thing but siXes we were not in 1 position to announce that the six would | is a field that cannot De filled by the | six alone
 l We have realized for years that the
 four will never be displaced. and our ! years of experience in the manufacture l of both the six and four has taught us 1 that the cheap six will never be as ] satisfactorily as its price equivalent in
 a four.
 "The six is essensiaily the car de luxe l and to oheapen it in order to sell at
 the price of a four is 10 destroy the
 very principle of it's being. | We have believed for a long time | that there is a great market for a low | rilced, light and economical, high grade
 car other makers have tried to supply
 the demand for this type of car with l a cheap six-but it isn't quantity of | cylinders that this mass of buyers want it is quality plus low first cost and | assurance that their purchase is going | to be an economic one, throughout the l life of the car.
 1 After two years of earnest effort in
 tlat direction we have produced a four | that we believe to be the superior in l ma intenance, lighter in weight, and l cheaper to operate-besides having more | features and materials of quality than it l is possible to produce in six selling
 around $1500 or $1600.
 l We are manufacturing six in con- ! nection with our four and we know | that we could not cheapen our six M worth and maintain |, satisfactory six
 cylinder standard-a car with six cylin-
 ders can be manufactured for $1600 or sII0O, but you cannot put the material
 into such a car that would make a man l proud to own one or satisfied with its performance.
 "You will see advertisements of fur | iiiture houses offering to furnish three l rooms complete for something; like s95 l but do you think the purchaser of
 such furniture would get the service
 out of it or the pride of ownership that
 would come if he put that money into l furnishing one room?
 A good four is worth two cheap
 sixes-from every angle. When a man feels he wants six-that six has | something he cannot get in a four l then he had better put enough money irtc his car to assure himself first of
 all stability and then qualty-otherwise
 he will be a disappointed owner.
