machine being the first TO employ a posi-
tive instead Of a spring controlled valve
action, is said to be the fastest of its size
ever produced. Its rather mediocre show

to the fact that a hasty Carbureter ad-
justment on the morning of the race cut
down its speed materially.

Milwaukee. Wis, Jan. 23.-Hearing her

Clara Boken Jones this afternoon shot
her husband. Archie. as he stood at the

wound.
The brother. J. F. Jones, heard the
shot and his brothers cry over the wire:

II heard it. I'll be right up" was the
ChlCagOan's answer. Then he heard an
other shot and could not get his brother
again, but could hear the tap, tap of the
Milwaukee telephone receiver as 1t swung
against the wall
From Chicago he called the Milwaukee
police to tell them of the shooting. The

WARBLERSFOR AMERICA;
BIG GUNS FOR EUROPE
Study in Contrasts as One Liner

other Sails with 16-inch Rifles.

New York, Jan. 23-As Il study in con-
trasts the arrival Of the CunaTd liner
Lusitania today. and the sailing Of the
Pennsylvania. also a CunaTder. gave food
for thought.
English skylarks and thrushes ever
brought to the United States. Their mis-
sion is to sing in the California orange
groves, and make American life more
pleasant and joyous.
On the departing ship were two Of the
biggest guns ever made. They will make
life on the European batlefields more
hideOus than ever.
Harry ThOrp, a fruit grower Of SaCra-
mentO. brought over the thTushes and
skyIarks. He plans to make California
the worlds paradise OF sOngsters. and
this shipment will be followed by several
others. The birds, in carefully padded
boxes, arrived safe and sound, and es-
capped that seasiCkness which so often
kills songsters, in spite of the fact that
the Lusitania was a full day behind her
schedule because of heavy weather.
The guns were lashed to the forward
deck OF the TTansylvania, just in front
of the bridge. Each is fifty-three feet
long. sixteen inches bore. and weighs
seventy-three tons. They were fastened
to the deck by heavy steel cables, and
shOred up with fOur-inch square beams.
They were shipped by the Bethlehem
Steel Works, of Bethlehem, Pa. to Har-
Ian & Wolff. Belfast Ireland. They have
a range of from eighteen to twenty miles.

MERCHANTS Will SEEK
help FOR MOTORISTS
Fifteen-minute Stop Order of Com
missioners Works Hardship on Many
Autoists Here. Says Andrews.

Pursuing the recommendation of r.
P. Andrews, president of the Retail
Merchants Association, the special
committee OF the Retail Merchants
Association on the ffteen-minute stop
rule will meet early this week to
take up a plan of campaign with u
view of having the District Commits
sioners amend the regulation TO read
at least one hour" in the downtown
streets affected by the order
1t is the contention of the business
men that the regulation works n
serious hardship both to the automO-
bile driver and user as well as to the
merchants since II does not give 4
reasonable time for the transaction of
business, and that with the present
population of Washington and the
number of its motor drawn vehicles
there is no real need for such a regula-
ton.
As has been pointed out by Claude
E. Miller. chairman of the automobile
section of the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation, there has been a need TO
overcome the all-day car spotter and
it is felt by the committee that a
traffic regulation making the stop
period one hour would meet every
need at the present time. While
considerable number of cities have
traffic regulations, none OF them have
gone quite so far as Washington. Even
in the densest part of London a
twenty-minute stop period is allowed
1t is altogether likely that the COM
mittee will ask for a hearing before
the District Commissioners at an early
date

GETS The BUSINESS
Bnggs-Detroiter Company Reports Un
precedented Volume of Orders
for New Model.

A greater gross business during the
first ten days of January than during
the entire 1914 season is the remark
able achievement Of the Briggs De-
trUiter Company. Of Detroit, according
to the statement OF Claude :. Briggs,
president.
Three months ago il would have
been declared impossible to devise any
thing IN the shape of an automobile
that could possibly create a real old
fashioned sensation and bring lack the
old days when dealers and buyers be

the New York show. has brought about
a stampede on the part of dealers to

10 look as though our manufacturing
facilities are going to be taxed to the
limit to produce cars enough.
While We expected to do a large
business with an eight-cylinder car at
a low price. We were amazed at the in
terest shown. And that this interest is
not merely idle curiosity is evidenced
hy actual shipping orders, averaging
nearly $500 900 a day at the New York
show.

that it required years to firmly estab-

And believe that if the combined
facilities OF all manufacturers of eight
cylinder cars in 1915 were increased

sull be in excess of the supply.
While the Cight-cylinder 1ugine is
responsible for much OF the interest
in the Detroiter. the stream

European ideas of body construction
made a great nit. AS a matter Of fact.

CROWD At OPENING
OF CHICAGO EXHIBIT
Fifteenth Annual Auto Show Awakens
Record Enthusiasm-Ohcer of Ma
tional Company Cites Figures.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-The fifteenth annual
automobile show opened in the Coliseum
today with all previous records broken
for attendance. elaborate exhibits. and
enthusiasm
You could never tell that the world Is
suffering from a war or that business
has been uneasy, judging from the unre-
stricted fashion in which automobile
manufacturers are going ahead for 1915,
said George NJ Dickson. general manager
of the company building National cars.
Dickson is reported to have exhibited
National cars at every automobile show
since the beginning.
Il think the automobile. or rather the
motor car. industry can he taken as
barometer Of the conditions of the en-
tir country" continued Dickson. 1t
represents the buying power of the ma
tiun as individuals and as a unit. The
automobile reflects both the business and
social activity; one might say it gives
us the tone of the nations vitality"
The show will last a week. Interesting
figures concerning the size of the auto
mobile industry in the United States
nave been compiled by Dickson. There
are l.j01.UCO cars in use; cost price. 81 ,jOO-
"0.~.I. or commercial vehicles there are
l".Coo in use. Last year. up to June 30,
there were 4%.o0o cars produced in that
single year. The value of last years cars
is Si25,OuO.0co. Every year about 9OG,.cC0
tires are worn out. In the whole of Ger
many there are 500 automobiles. while
in New York city there are 4i.62S There
are H,oC0 Chauff"urs in New York State
Chicago had ll.VO cars in 1911. e6.UI in
1914 There are l55DO automobile dealers
in the United States. One-nalf the auto
mobiles owned in Iowa are owned by
farmers, and i'll Wisconsin one-third.
Dickson says this years sales will total
.0rO cars.
