new 40-horsepower Knight-motored,
fve-passenger car which will sell at
less than $1,000. It has a wheelbase

practically all of the features to be

After seeing both the New York and
Chicago shows from start to finish, F.
A. Harris, commercial manager of the
Hupp Motor Car Company, expresses
the opinion that the two big affairs
have been the most successful, from a
business point of view, since the in
ception OF the industry. Chicago, he
thinks, e1celled New York, having
drawn a much larger number Of deal
ers, who are preparing TO cash in on
the record prices obtained by farmers
for their wheat.
"The fexibility Of a steam car, the
operating simplicity Of an electric and
the radius of a gasolene car" IS the
way +. S. Partridge describes the Owen
Magnetic, for which. he says, the de-
mand since it first made its appearance
at the Palace, has been far IN excess
Of all expectations.
Probably the most fattering testi-
mony to the class Of Nobby Tread tires
Is that given by the Pierce-Arrow Com
pany In offering to equip their cars
with this type without extra charge,
when requested by the purchaser.

French Use Cress-Bow Device 10 De
stroy Barbed Entanglements; Hand
Grensdes Deadly.

Paris, Jan. 5.-The French soldiers
are using a device something like Il
cross-bow for throwing hooks with
lines attached over barbed wire en-
tanglements and then tearing them
loose by drawing ON the thin rope.
These barbed wire entanglements are
constructed intricately and form belts
Of nterlacing wires 20 feet wide and
about IL feet high, Cutting them
by hand is such difficult process
that about the only way they could
be destroyed successfully is by hook
ing them and tearing them free one by
one.
The hand grenade devised by the
French to throw into the enemy's
trenches when they are within reach
Is about as large as baseball. A
string tied to the wrist Of the thrower
pulls out plug from the ball after
It has left the hand. A spring is re-
leased which sets the fuse for the
explosive charge going. Thus fuse
may be regulated from one second to
two or three seconds, or intermediate
fractions. and thus adjusted to e1-
plode when II reaches the hostile
| trench.
