Chicago, Dec. 1s.-It became defin-

attempt is successful Certain facts

as follows:

found in nearly every motor car.
The car itself ais a coordination Of
essential qualities-lightness, durabil-
ity. sightliness, comfort. rapid acceler-
alton speed, stability, full equipment"
Special attention has been paid to
features which will make il easy to
handle that il may be used either by
men or women with comfort and
safety.
The company is prepared to begin
delivery of cars Immediately following

Nothing more than the above gener-

New York. Dec 1S-About this time

merce.
However. a sufficient number of
models have been announced to date to
get fairly complete idea of what the
average 1916 car viii represent me
chanically. In 1914 il was prophesied
time and again that the year 1915 Cor
the model 1879 would provide changes
OF an unusually startling nature in the
automobile school Of design, and this
has proved to be true. Today the pros
pectlve buyer may enjoy greater value
Tor less money and may revel in limo
vations Of proved merit to a greater de-
gree than has been possible at any
other stage of the history Of the in
dustry.
The advent Of the u cylinder car as a
commercial proposition and at a rea-
sOnable price is no doubt a big event OF
the year, and in addition to this the in
creasing number of Fights listed for
1916 serves to emphasize the rapidly
growing popularity of what NAV be
termed the cylinder type of mo-

YOU can't do better than TO follow the
advice of the chain manufacturer.
But remember that the fundamental
principle Of using chains without in
jury to tires is to have them so fitted
that they will creep around the tire
and not bruise it continually in one
place. There is little danger of this
on smooth tread tires. but with the
almost endless assortment Of rough
'antf-skid' treads on the market, there
is danger in getting a tire whose pro-
jections viii hold the chain stationary.
Some rough treads. however. offer
chains no Instructions to hold to,

every motorist to look 70 his own tires
in this respect and in buying new tires
for winter wear this should be one OF
the features 70 be considered
Chains that are too loose are dan
gerous also. for there is a tendency
for the tire to spin around on the
chain and rip off the rough tread
But above all, chains should never
be used on city streets or hard, bare
roads. after the thick mire and slush

about $350,000, 900 for the season, and
the outlook is that for the coming
crop there will be a repetition.
High Prices Prevailed.
So recently as last December a val
uation Of all crop production indicat-
ed that 1914 was slightly under 1918
in actual value. The year 1918 had
been a year of relatively short crops,
but high prices; and it is the expert
ence of agricultural economists that
the increase Of prices in a year OF
short crops is utterly disproportionate
to the justification for it. On the 9TH
er side, the depression in prices fol-
lowing a year Of big yields is equally
disproportionate. The world has been
resolved into mere neighborhood in
this matter of feeding itself, and very
small variations in production are re-
fiected in huge readjustments in mar
ket values.
This is one of the aspects to which
the attention of economists has been
directed lately with constantly in
creasing insistence. The studies OF
the cotton situation which were made
last autumn seemed to justify the the
DRY that the farmers of the world, If
they could and would agree on a poll
cy, could very shortly enrich them
selves by the simple process of half
starving the rest of the world.
One Of the greatest Qualifications for
optimism in the present agricultural
situation is that after a series Of
years Of diminishing supplies Of live
stock, there has suddenly been noted
an increase in this direction. The
numbers of the various classes of live
stock have been increasing; and the
incentive to further increase is
marked, because the hog cholera that
for several years was immensely de-
structive, seems to have been in con
siderable part brought under control
Not only has the cholera epidemic
entailed losses of from $50,000,000 to
500, 100000 year, but it has fright
ened great numbers Of farmers out Of
raising hogs. Now they are coming
back, with the result that at a time
when the foreign need of foodstuffs Is
unprecedented, this country promises
in another year to have a meat croI
on hand that will break records, just
as cotton and wheat have recently
done, and as wheat may possibly dc
once more this year.

More than sixty vessels are in port at

ed with goods largely owing to made

y This hSopgestion and delay has had
the result of making shippers avoid
n Liverpool if possible. Egyptian cot
\ ton for American spinners was for
merly sent from Alexandria to Liver.
n pool and then loaded on the regular
liners for New York, but the continual
j, delay has necessitated shipments to be

adyices the steamer "Ikala' is taking
n a full cargo of 11,743 bales of Egyp
tian cotton from Alexandria to Boston
thus avoiding the delay and labol
% charged at Liverpool.
