ELECTRIC PLEASURE
CARS GROW POPULAR
Fact That They Can Be Driven
BY Every Member Of Family
Potent Factor.

For several years 1t has been recog-
nized that q good electric automobile
10 one Of the most economical types OF
motor car from tho standpoint OF ope-
ration cost. The simplicity of the Cleo
trio and the fact that 1t can he driven
with safety by every member OF the
family have also become established
facts. ...-.. -
Within the last year or two tho elec-
trio pleasure car has forged its way to
the front. and has demanded considcra-
ton everywhere. because It has proven
needs.
The Logical Vehicle.
The question is sometimes asked why
the electric car Is the logical vehicle for
practically every motoring need Of .
family. In the first place, 1t 10 q
car Of utility. Its field Of usefulness
really knows no limits. There was q
time when men hesitated at buying an
electric because they felt that the zone
of operation was too restricted. To-
day statistics prove sS per cent Of all
automobile trips do not exceed total
Of sixty miles at an average of twenty
to twenty-five miles an hour, which
means that 9S per cent OF all trips are
within easy radius of a good electric
the electric Is considerably less ex-
pensive to run. SO that. everything con-
sidesed. the electric car is a wise in
vestment.
Another reason why a good electric
today is practical car is based on the
fact that an electric has ample power
and hill climbing ability to go any
where. This is proven by the fact that
IN hilly cities the streets are dotted
with electrics. whereas a few years ago
they were comparatively little seen.
One other reason for the greater pOpu-
larity OF the electric car Is its in
creased speed. The new electr1cs can
make twenty-five miles an hour. a rate
that 10 faster than any city ordinance
allows. This speed Is In marked con-
trast to what electrics few years ago
were capable of.
These three facts-the wider range OF
usefulness. the increased power and
the greater speed in traveling-are at
tributes which account for the wide Use
OF electric pleasure cars today.
Improved In Every Detail.
One can 60 Down the list and show
how electric pleasure cars have been
improved in every detail where i'm
provement was possible. A good mod
ern electric runs with absolute silence.
1t IL safer to drive and easier to handle
in congested traffic than any other
type. Its economy is greater. its ap-
pearance elegant and its luxuries most
complete.
In the winter time particularly the
owner OF an electric appreciates his car
because Of the troubles it never has,
such as q cold carburetor. frozen cylin-
ders and other exasperating troubles.

Third Fight Begins for
Estate of $4,000, 600

WHITE PLAINS. n. Y, Jan. 80
There will be third contest over the
8. 10000 estate OF Mrs. Ruth Louisa
Bailey. widow of James A. Bailey. the
circus man. as the result Of a decision
handed down by Justice keogh in the
supreme court. The justice set aside
the verdict Of a jury which. in the sec
ond contest. upheld the will, and granted
a new trial
The will was contested by Mrs. Anne
Isabelle Hutchinson. Of Bridgeport.
Conn. a sister OF Mrs. Bailey. against
Theodore and Joseph McCaddon. her
brothers. executors Of the estate and
the chief beneflciaries. When the case
was tried. about two years ago. the
will was set aside. but this verdict
failed to stand.
In his decision Justice Keogh said
there was nothing to indicate Mrs.
Bailey was not Of sufficient mental ca
pacity to execute a will. but there was
a question Of undue influence.

series Of such special forms Of self

NationaI ECONOMY.

4Perhaps there was never q
time in the history OF the United
States when the utmost possible
stimulation OF the saving habit
meant SO much to individual and
national prosperity as it does
now. Elmer H. Youngmara, edt-
tor of the Bankers Magazine.
If our people all work harder and
save more money the United States
could soon become the worlds bank
err. That is the opinion of the Bank
ers Magazine and other authorities on
finance.
Even il the European war speedily
closes it will leave in It's trail 9 vast
burden Of debt to be provided for, so
that London, Paris and Berlin will
have on their hands all they can
handle for good while to come. The
United States should be in position
to take its place as international pur-
yeyor of capital.
1t must not be forgotten that we
shall require large amount OF mon
ey to finance our own enterprises
which hitherto have been accustomed
to go abroad for loans. To meet this
demand, to take back our securities
from Europe and to provide for the
International financing already COM
ing to us as result of the war, and
which is bound to come in an ever
increasing volume, we must bring
about prompt and material addition
to the saving capacity of our popula-
ton.
The idea that prevailed in Europe
previous to this disastrous war was
to use everything that was available
and to throw away nothing that could
be used to great or small advantage.
On account OF the scarcity of land in
the producing sections, intensive
farming had been brought down to
an exact science, with the result that
IN these times of stress there can be
enough. produced upon a limited acre
age to keep the people from starva-
ton. II this habit of saving were
practiced more in this country our
people would be in far better con-
dition to take care of themselves
should some dangerous emergency
arise in the future.
We repeat, there never was time
when SO much Of Individual benefit,
of national welfare, and OF public
profit, could be derived from the gem
eral adoption of the saving habit by
the people of the United States.

Bryan support Essential.

Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana.
has been in Washington of late, and
has added no little caloric to the CAPT
tolls already torrid summer tempera-
.turc by some heated observations re-
garding the relations between Will
son and Bryan. The senator declares
that the president will have tBryan's
earnest support for denomination and
for reelection; and he adds that
Bryan's support Is essential to VIII
son If the latter Is to have second
term
Essential" is right Bryan made
Wilson's Champ Clark can testify.
Bryan can eliminate Wilson. Indeed,
it is probable that he has already
done so.
During the next sixteen months
there will be constant endeavor on
the part of Wilson's friends to show
that he and his ex-secretary of state
are on the most cordial OF terms
and the Kern interview. is the fore
runner of a series of such statements
which will appear regularly AS
matter of fact, Senator Kern's dec
laration is much warmer than the
relations between Wilson and Bryan:
For months it has been known that
the Nebraska leader has chafed un-
derthe thralldom which thenew free
dom" has put upon him. He has
learned as strong men at Princeton
learned. that woodrow Wilson can
not abide to have anyone near him
who can be looked upon as some pos
sfb1e rival. Though holding the cher
place at the presidents council ta-
BILE. Bryan has felt himself snouloer.
ed aside and crowded into corner
because OF the president irrepress1ole
gIuttony for the lime1ight.
The climax came when the hrse
Lusitania note was under considera-
tfon. At the White House. and In
other quarters responsive to the pres
idents desire, particular pains Were
taken to make 1t known !'that the
president was taking the counsel OF
nobody, that he had not seen nor
heard from his secretary of state,
who was the one man in all the
world who should have enjoyed his
chiefs confidence. and that. though
BRYAN might sign the note, 1t would
be Wilson'S thought and Wilson, 9
language and Wilson'S policy which
1t contained.
Bryan felt this very keenly; ana
he told friend that he. would have
resigned there and then put tnat ne
felt a responsibility for the policy to-
ward Mexico and that he could not
afford to leave the president In the
lurch while Mexican affairs were IN
an unsatisfactory condition.
Just before the framing OF the sec
ond Luistania note, the president re-
pudiated the Mexican policy and thus
absolved Bryan from further respon-
sibility ON that score; and again 1t
was heralded from the White House
that Bryan was having no share In
drafting the reply to Germany. AT
this point the Bryan patience ceased
to be virtue, and his resignation
was rendered and accepted.
The sequel will be delayed for a
time, but It viii be forthcoming.
Former Bryan men like Senator
Kern. who have political troubles OF
their own, will go up AMI down the
land declaring that ali Is serene be-
tween Bryan and Wilson. But the
