PUZZLED OVER LEPER'S CASE
Federal authorities are faced with
a problem in Angelo Lunardi, Italian
leper, found living at the Exmoer
Country club.
Although, according to physicians;
Angelo has tubercular leprosy, the
disease is contagious only through
constant contact with the leper.
In order to deport Angelo they
must prove that he contracted the.
disease before coming to this coun-
try. In the meantime, where to keep
him is the problem. 81
He is confined in cell at the High
land Park jail, although physicians
say he could go back to his wife and
family without danger. He is to be
removed today to an isolation hos

WAR OF MICE AND BIRDS

The sparrow hawks are Zeppli
That soar across the sky;
The field mice are foot troops
And in the trench they lie.
The mole is their engineer,
And on the battle day
He digs all the trenches deep
In which they hide away.

MARMON IS MYSTERY
CAR NO LONGER
"Umnamed" Machine i'm Trade
Papers Revealed as Light
Weight New Model.

The trade press has been running for
two months advertisements Of n car fully
described. but with no name given.' II
develops now that the car Is a Ma rynon,
the product Of Nordyke 4 Marmon Com
pany OF Indianapolis. The Ma mon com
pany had planned to keep the car secret
until the opening Of the New York show,
but inquirers got so insistent upon know
ing the name OF the mystery car as
II has been termed. that II was decided
to unveil the mystery.
1t is stated that the new Marmon !s
a distinct innovation In automobile con-
struction, that It marks the beginning Of
a new method Of construction and tho
more extensive use Of lighter materials.
II IL understood that for the first time
aluminium is used 70: motor cylinder con-
struction. II liz true tina some expert
menttng has been done by engine manu-
facturers In putting out q few engines
with aluminium used very freely in the
construction. but that the Marmon IL the
hrst car to use Il as standard.
The new car is 1000 pounds lighter
h the great majority OF cars OF its
class. There is much aluminium EN-
ployed and much high tensile steel In
thin section. From the motor to the rear
Nle no single opportunity has been
missed where there was "A chance to in
crease efficiency and reduce weight.
The car is hus described AS a per-
former on the oad Its accelerative power
OF high gear is Indicated by It's ability 10
speed up from ten TO fifty miles an hour
In substantially less than Is seconds. Its
maximum speed IL between sixty and
seventy miles an hour. II seats seven pas
sengers with the comfort which Is ex-
pected of the most expensive cars, and
II has an unexcelled ease OF steering and
control"
Not alone is the engine a feature OF
the car. for there Is to be found new
CONSTITUTIONAL ideas In almost every pa r,
OF the car. For instance. the frame is
different from ordinary. 1t Is OF deer
section, higher carbon point steel. OF
min section. stronger. yet lighter I'm
weight than the usual frame. The tour.
Ing car body. aside from being made OF
aluminium, is also interesting In that 1,
Is made in three sections--cowl, from,
seat and rear seat, Each OF these sec.
lions bolt direct TO the frame, withou,
siils. so that the oar has a low, distinc.
tive appearance. yet the passengers have
plenty OF room and sit at a comfortable
he .ght.
The rear spring construction is also a
feature. since the springs are mounted
transversely at the end OF the frame
runNing crosswise at the rear OF tn.
body and OF suoh construction. Il Ia said
that side sway is eliminated by an al.
most vertical spring motion. The trans,
mission case Is In a brand new loca,
tion-on the forward end of the torou,
tube, being held by a ball and socke,
joint to a cross member of the frame.

ductlon methods was the development
OF efficiency In the manufacturing plan
itself. The workman was chooled and
drilled In his special task and became
most proficient in his own particular
direction. and by virtue Of this school,
ing and systematic supervision he was
brought to produce q better article In
less time.
The eftset Of this feature Is not con-
fined to TIE motor ca, alone. but worked
I'm influence on its equipment as well.
In the matter OF tires, for example. IL
Is clearly shown. A few years ago the
automobile ..ianufact Irer paid twice az
much as nov for tires vastly inferior
in construction AID wearing qualities
TO those of 'o-day. And a similar ratio
Of cost anC quality IL seen in other
equipment.
No n triton Of the automobile in
dustry has .,een aYec.ed by the steady
programme Of increase in efficiency and
decrease In cost. II mas been general.
II has included the very cheap cars and
those of the intermediate prices, as well
an the highest grade type OF vehicle.
Its direct and significant consequence
has been hat the manufacturer can
produce n the purchaser can buy to-
day a superior vehicle for about one
half the price demanded a few years
ago. .

DISTINGUISHED BUYERS.
Champ Clark and 4. l.. NOhicr
Among Purchasers Of Overland ~.

The past few months Overland deal
ers have reported an increasing num-
Der of sales to prominent and wealthy
people who might heretofore have been
considered prospects only for far higher
priced cars.
Champ Clark. speaker Of the House OF
Representatives and a. l.. Moh!er, pres
ident OF the Union Pacific Railroad. are
among the most recent to add their
names to the long list Of Overland own
ers. Congressman Clark purchased a
Model SO Overland touring car in Wash
ington on the same day that Mr.. Mohler
bought his in Omaha
Either of these men could have in
vested in any one OF the high priced
cars selling at five or six times the
price of the Overland II they &c desired.
In fact, Mr.. Mohler already owns two
of the highest priced ears made In this
country. But the practicability of the
Overland, with its detachable top and
numerous other advantages appealed 10
him strongly ss a a value.
