NO LONGER VIEWED

Electrical System Now Integral
Part of Nearly All New
Models

Announcements by various automo
bile manufacturers disclose the fac,
that. In virtually all models priced at
1885 or over, electrical devices for
lighting. starting and ignition are now
listed AZ standard equipment.
In most cases these devices are
built into the chassis OF the car and
are integral parts OF 1t. With but
one or two exceptions. all large pro
ducers have used the presence of 9
modern electrical system to do away
with the magnetic as q niece of need

Exceptions to this rule are almost
solely manufacturers listing cars ri
two prices---with and without com
plete electrical systems. Manufactur.
ing efficiency In such case demands
the fitting Of an electrical apparatus
not an integral part of the chassis
and therefore not adaptable to igni-
ton purposes.
II. M. Joy. electrical engineer Of the
Studebaker corporation, points out
the fact that manufacturers who in
stall duplicate electrical systems have
almost always after q year of trial.
abandoned the magnetic and gone
over without reservation to built-in
system that performs all functions OF
electricity. including ignition.
THAT was virtually our Studebaker
experience" continued Mr.. Joy.
When we introduced the frst cleo
trfcal system into our cars we fully
realized that the generator was, in ef-
feet, q magnetic. but Infinitely more
versatile and of greater capacity as

the magnetic added both weight and

siderable amount OF horsepower In

not to act radically.

Another interesting point about Nc

The Bryan Debating club. the first

meeting Oct. II. at which time the

ond meeting question arose as to
whether all the teachers Of the high
school should be made honorary mem
bers or only part Of them. The lat
ter plan seemed the most favorable
until Vice-President Karicofe took the
floor and pointed out the difhculties
and unpleasantness that might result
from such course. His remarks
were full of fire and sparkled with
wisdom, and at the close II was unan-
imously decided to invite all the high
school teachers to become associate
members.
AS q pleasant memory for the fu-
ture We wish to point out some Of the
striking "firsts" that occurred at the
organization meeting Of the Bryan

Paris, Sept. z6.-Gomez Carillox,

is "indisputable authority that the
kaiser's plan after taking Paris was
to capture President Poincare and
his ministers, the British and Rus
sian ambassadors and the presidents
of the senate and chamber.
Further, it was to seize all bank
directors, to place an embargo on
the bank of France and detain
numerous prominent men. Next was
the confiscation of the public debt.

French people into favoring Ger
many's peace terms. This accom-
plished, an army of 100000 was to
keep order in east and north France
while 25 army corps were to be
thrown against Russia. The German
plan then was to arrive at PetrOgrad
by the end Of September or the mid
die Of October.
The Spanish correspondent adds
that so confident was the kaiser of
German victory at the battle of the
Marine that he drew up message of
congratulation to his people before
the struggle.

"The reports that Kaiser Wilhelm

without foundation. Just a little be-
fore I started home there were 5000
active young men in various parts Of

home and told to wait until they were

soldiers in the inland cities. There
were soldiers everywhere. These men
were all anxious to go on the firing
line and strike blow for the Father

reserves which have not yet been called
out. will make another vast and finely
equipped army.
Mr.. Durein said that the sentiment
in Germany was united. There are
no Socialists, Anarchists, Republicans
or Democrats in the nation They are
all Germans. Politics, religious differ
ences, everything, is forgotten. One and
all, the people of Germany are united.
They are all working for the cause.

Working Like Machinery.
Everything in Germany is working
like machinery. All OF the railroad
