his aides, and they transmit them TO

war map, laid out on the table. Here
they are converted into actual troop

Suppose at the opening OF hostilities
he finds the Blue forces advancing
toward the brow OF ridge along the
west side of a valley, and his own
forces on the plateau to the east OF
the valley. His problem will be, per-
haps, to get several batteries OF light
artillery TO the crest on his side, be-
fore the advancing enemy can install
itself with batteries on the opposite
crest.
This is a sample of the problems

general discussion follows.
Ii may come out, for instance, that
the Red general could never have
advanced his artillery across the
plowed land to the brow OF the hill
in so short a time as he pretended
to: or that he ordered his infantry
to ford the stream in a place where
there wasn't any ford, OF to capture
a hill which turned out TO be an un-

JACKSON ENGINEERS HAVE
FORMULA FOR COMFORT

Comfort in an automobile is not an
incident nor an accident" said How
ard A. Mathews, sales manager OF the
Jackson Automobile Co. "Of course,
i have special reference TO our own
company.
In our engineering department as
much care is taken TO make a new
model comfortable as TO give ii
enough power and make it strong
enough for long service and all kinds
OF service.
AS matter of fact our engineers
have had the comfort idea drilled into
them so thoroughly and so continu-
ously, and have studied 1t so keenly.
that they know what elements will
produce the greatest comfort or abso-
Ilutely rob car or IT,
For instance. we know that car
of certain weight must have a certain
wheelbase, wheels and tires of GER
tain size and springs OF a certain
strength To give il the maximum rid
ing ease These things are all inter
related and, according to. our expert
ence, must be correctly proportioned
in order 10 get the most satisfactory
results. In addition, the weight must
be properly distributed, and the mo-
tor must have neither too much pow
er nor too little.
"As soon as we had car that could
be depended upon to run-and that
was away back in 1903-we began to
turn our attention to the comfort
side, developing that right along with
the mechanism. Our engineers, in ef-
feet, have been going to school all
these years and designing cars at the
same time. They sometimes say
laughingly that they have a formula
for designing comfortable cars; and
when you get right down to II. that's
exactly what they have, and II is
based on experience"

 Now comes pr. Lorenzo Boido, chief enthusiast of the local lodge. and solemnly swears that the sec ond race staged by his order. is go- ing to be even better than the pre- vious one. Instead of having one real long race as before. it has been decided to cut the program into four races, and a one mile time trial. that is guaranteed to extract large and commodious sobs of real speed from the track

Local Agency Hears That Stock Car at Los Angeles Passes Former High Mark In Continuous Run by Big. Margin.

Maurice O'Neill, manager of the local Maxwell agency, received word yester- day that the Maxwell car which has been used in making the nonstop en- durance test at Los Angeles. had wheeled off the surprisingly large mil cage of 2,699.2. which is the worlds record run in such tests.
 The old record was 12.404.09, and this mark was reached by the Maxwell ear Iy yesterday afternoon, and at that time tEe manager of the Los Angeles branch of the company sent the fol- lowing wire to Mir. O'Neill:
 Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 17. 1915. O'Neill Auto and Supply Co,

 The Maxwelrs daily mileage aver aged 516.S miles daily, highest daily run 551.4. lowest 1889. NOtWithstand- ing two severe rainstorms encountered, Maxwell averaged PA miles per gallon of gasoline and used but 10l8 gallons water during entire run. It is still run ming as powerfully, as quietly and as efficiently as the day if started.

 While the present test is being made the results are carefully watched by representatives of the A. A. A. so that the matter may be kept absolutely ac- cuTate, and also that the record may he set down as an official one. The car is regular stock Maxwell, as taken from the display rooms of the Los Angeles branch.
 The car will be kept running until something comes up that will make a stop imperative and it is hoped that an unusually large mileage will be piled up. ana which will constitute the non- stop record for some time to come.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Peace in or ganized baseball seemed nearer late tonight when a conference between the national commission representing the National and American leagues and a committee from the Federal league ad- jOurned. The chief point of discussion at the meeting was the legality of con- cluding an agreement before Judge Kenesaw M. Landis hands down a de- cision In the suit brought before him by the Federal league. Counsel for both sides gave assurances, however that there were no legal obstacles in the way, but advised that Judge Landis be consulted before a settlement is signed American league attorneys. it is understood, will get in touch with Judge Landis tonight or early tomor- row and obtain his consent to dis missal of the case, after which another meeting will be held here to ratify terms of peace.
 While no official announcement was made. the impression was given that if Judge Landis raises no barrier all that will remain to be done will be to
