MOTOR CAR
FAMINE RE-
suit Of WAR
DEALERS ATTENDING EXHlel-
TIoN AT KANSAS CITY, GIVE
ADVICE, buy YOUR CAR NOW"
PRICES WILL GO UP.

A motor car famine may be the
next in line in the procession of mis-
fortunes following the European out
break. Sounds foolish? Very well
talk to the dealers exhibiting at Con
vention hall and listen to what they
have to say on the matter.
Buy your car now" they will tell
you The prices may go up later. u
And then follows the explanation.
Shortly after the big battles at
Liege and Namur, two great Euro
pean nations discovered that what
they knew about war, and especially
about transportation, was small, in
deed
But with an ample war chest the
matter could be remedied. So imme
diately came large orders to the Unit
ed States for motor cars. Some OF
the factories are merely making
trucks. But others, notably the Pack
ard company, is bending every re.
source to meet immense orders for ar.
mored cars capable of making fifty
miles an hour and stopping a steel
jacketed bullet fired 300 yards away
War Comes First.
AS the war goes on, the exhibitors
declared yesterday, cavalry is being
supplemented or superseded by motor
car squads An armored car, such as
the Packard company is showing at
the hall this wekk, costs about $4,000
although it is only a nickel-steel XII
mono for an ordinary siX-cylinder We
hicle of the pleasure variety. The
tires are filled with cushion packing
instead of air, and a bullet puncture
does not put them out of action. In
a turret, which, caps the steel body
saucy Colts automatic machine gun
peeps out at the spectators.
During the last month, it is said
orders for thousands of trucks have
been received by at least a dozer
motor car factories, and for some time
to come their machinery will be strain
ed to meet the foreign demands. Mean
while the home trade will suffer fol
lack of attention, for, as always since
men began to have differences anC
settle them by force of arms, war is
| first to be served.

Outside Dealers Here.

The afternoon crowd at the SHOW
yesterday comfortably filled the hall
The outside dealers were having their
inning and more than 700 were in
town. Most of them were from Nebras-
ka, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma, but a few came
from points in New Mexico and Tex
as. They are here for the educa-
ton the big show affords, and were
busy every minute of the day look
ing over the new models and asking
questions of the demonstrators. One
dealer from a small town in New Mex
leo was the biggest figure, physically,
in the hall. He weighed nearly 300
pounds and wore a wide-brimmed felt
hat.eXpansive red vest, corduroy trous-
ers and high-heeled boots.
A great deal of interest went to the
farm tractors and trucks because the
spring plowing season is about to open
in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The trac-
tors of from ten to sixteen horsepower
capable of pulling from three to five
plows, sold more readily than the lar
ger ones.
The reason for this, one of the deal
ers from western Kansas explained,
is that farmer can hire a man to OPP
crate the tractor during the night
much cheaper than he can operate a
tractor that pulls double the number
of plows. A ten-horsepower tractor
with three plows can be purchased for
about 5000, and it is less liable to stick
in the mud than the larger ones.
Ten Thousand See Show.
The advent of ZOO dealers, 80 per
cent more than came to view the ex-
hibits last year, was not the only in
dication of tremendous interest in mo-
tor cars. Estil Scott, president of the
Kansas City Motor Car Dealers As.
sociation, under the auspices of which
the show is given, had made prepara-
tions to entertain about 1000 persons
yesterday. Instead, more than 10000
purchased tickets, and it was neces.
sary to put into use other than the
regulation pieces of cardboard in or.
der to meet the demand.
The hall last night was filled up to
the closing hour, and the number OF
visitors from country towns who had
driven in to look over the new models
was a distinct surprise to the man,
agement.
This week is going to be far ahead
of any show week we have ever had,
Mr.. Scott said. 81 shouldn't be sur
prised If the total number of tickets

Heffernan Says Next to His Home Town Our
 City is the Best Ever
Orator Whose EIoquence Thrilled Banqueters is hnportuned To
 Come Again.

} Christopher F. Henernan, the elo- quent lecturer whose address on The Day We Celebrate,'' at the Knights of St. Patrick banquet, thrilled the big gathering. has concluded that next to Amsterdam, N. Y, Bridgeport is the best town in America.
 Attorney Heffernan was assisted in reaching this conclusion by Freder- ick c. Mullins, who yesterday showed Henernan and two of his Amsterdam friends, John Turner, a contractor, and Matthew Kennedy. about the city.
 MT Heffernan and his friends with MT. Mullins, toured the city in an au- tomobile yesterday, visiting among other places, the winter quarters of the Barnum & Bailey circus.
 MT. Heffernan made many friends in Bridgeport and among them a number who enjoyed his lecture at the banquet have irnportuned him to hold open next St. Patrick's day thae Bridgeport may have another oppor- tunity to enjoy his eloquence.

BRIDGEPORTs FIRST
 "JITNEY 'BUs'' HERE

The first '.Jitney Bus in Bridge port began it's service yesterday un- der the supervision of Q progressive native of Greens Farms It is con templated to install a, larger system and arrangements are under way to procure several cars similar to those which have been successfully used in the west. @
 The 'sJitney 'bus'' is really g five cent fare automobile which carries passengers to various sections Of the city in a quick and comfortable manner The word .Jftney' is Jap anese and is the term used for a coin similar in size, shape and value to the ordinary five cent piece of. the United States.
 The first line introduced in Bridge port runs from Reads corner to the junction of State street and Fairfield avenue. It is contemplated to put in operation several of these 'busses running both ways at stated period of time, and parallel to the present street-car lines The syetem has been successfully and prof1tably work ed out in the east, Washington. D.. C., and Providence, R. l., already have the ss.Jitney.''
 The car in service yesterday was operated by F. s. Jennings of Greens Farms and belongs to the Elm Auto Co, who will probably back the ven turn in the event that Jennings shows that it is likely to be successful in this city.
