Have you noticed, Little Boy, that
when you are outdoors you seldom
head the wind, no matter how hard
it blows. It's when you are indoors
or in a grove Of trees or in an alley

hear, although the wind does cause
the whistling and bowling. What
the wind, or moving air, does when it
forces it's way through the doors or
windows, against the corner of the
house, or through the tree tops, is
to set things vibrating or trembling
so that they make a strange, whis-
Ting noise. But we do not hear the

rent of air, and that what wind is.

BRITISH SEIZE
 STEAMER DENVER
American Vessel Loaded With Cot. ton Taken To British Port a
 Prize of War.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-The own CTS of the American steamer Denver have called upon the State Depart ,ment for aid in having the American boat released by the British admir- alty.
 The Denver was sailing from New Orleans for Bremen, Germany, when overhauled and forced to put into a British port as a prize of war. As Great Britain has announced that cot ton is not contraband of war the own CTS claim they have the right to take cotton to Germany, as no effective blockade IS now in force at German ports and so far as the world knows the British have never declared the German ports blockaded.
 Secretary of State Bryan will make a formal protest to the British for eign office, but will wait for the re- ply to President Wilson's note re. garding better treatment for Ameri- can ships by the British admiralty before pushing the protest further.

ND INCREASE FOR
 ARMY AND NAVY Cabinet Officers and Members of conoress Say That Lack of Rev. enues Prevents Increase.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The con- ference held yesterday by Secretary Garrison of the War Department, Sec retary Daniels of the Navy, and the members of the House and Senate Naval and Military Committee to talk over the proposed increased army and navy reported today that because of the lack of government revenues it was decided to allow the remaking of the army and navy to go over for another year at least.
 The revenues of the government have been greatly reduced as a re- suit of the war in Europe which has cut off all imports besides destroying the business of the United States, thus directly reducing the income tax receipts and in consequence the caD- inet officials are inclined to put the brake upon government expenditures until business conditions improve.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Secretary of State w. J. Bryan has demanded from the Canadian government rep aration and damages for the killing of Walter Smith and the wounding of Charles Dorsch, two duck hunters who were shot at by the Dominion guards at Fort Erie on Dec. 28.
 An investigation made by J. B. Curtis, acting consul at Fort Erie, showed that the killing was unnec. essary and that the fault lies with Thomas w. Delaney, who command ed the Canadian troops and allowed them to fire upon the hunters, who were only 800 feet from the shore.
 Damages are demanded for the death of Smith and for the injury of Dorsch.

A serious quarrel that may have a material effect on the Democratic party and perhaps bring about a party split is threatened. MT.

 MANY ARE HURT One Man kiIled-PoIice Investigating Operator Is Held To Await
 Result of Inquest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-An ele- vator dropped five stories yesterday and as a result one of the passen- gers was killed and twelve others in- jured. The fact that the car was crowded prevented greater loss as it prevented the men and women from being thrown against the sides of the car with greater violence. The au- 'tomatic brake which is supposed to stop the car when the machinery goes wrong, did not work and the car shot down with increasing force.
 The air cushions at the bottom of the pit helped to break the force of the fall. Ambulances were called inn mediately to care for the injured. An investigation will be made by the po- lice to locate the blame. The oper- ator of the car was injured and he has been placed under arrest await. ing the result of the inquest.

High Navy Department Officials Make
Admission That q. S. Troops

deny any orders had been received
that would indicate proposed activity,
high officials of the navy department
made the significant admission today
that they expect to be called upon soon
to occupy Vera Cruz.
T'-ey admitted also t;neir belief that
the United States will take possession
of Mexico City and hold it until a
stable government is established in
Mexico. They attach no significance
to the lack of orders to prepare for
any emergency.
Chas. A. Douglas, legal representa-
tive of the Carranza government, an
nounced today that Gen. Carranza's
troops expect to occupy Mexico City
on Monday.
After opening up the railroads and
telegraph lines between Vera Cruz
and the capital, 11us insuring free in
terchange of communications with the
outside world and the bringing in of
an abundant store of foodstuffs, and
establishing order in Mexico City,
Carranza will ask recognition from
the United States
Referring to the presidents demand
made two months ago that the war
ring factions get together and arrange
for peace and tie restoration of order,
Mr.. Douglas said that there was no
organization with which Carranza
could hold any peace parleys. Villa
and Zapata were both, he declared on
their last legs and tottering.

warrant, but make absolutely neces-
sary official recognition by our own
government" said Mr. Douglas. Mex
leo is not wholly pacified and may not
be for some mon6.s.'
The state department announced to-
day the receipt of news that Gen. OBJ
RECON, the Carranza commander, had
captured San Luis Potosi, and con-
tinued to occupy Zazatecas. The cap
ture of San Luis Potosi is taken to in
dicate that Gen. Obregon has restored

the motor world. Such news service
is of exceptional value. There is moth
ing that tells a story so quickly as a
picture, and when a person can get the
latest motor news in Photographic

few moments in the window, the
chances are he is going to stop.
Prominently displayed, this news
service IS going to attract attention in
the dealers window and call people
into his store who would otherwise
not have gone there.
Dealers all over the country are
hooking up with the service, and it
promises to grow to very large pro-
portions indeed.
The Goodrich company, although put
to a great expense for this service, are
not charging the dealers a single pen
ny for it. There are no obligations
whatever-all the dealer mas to do who
wishes to have the bulletins in his
window, is send his name in to the
nearest Goodrich branch or direct to
the Goodrich factory at Akron, and it
will be promptly placed on the list.
The service is national-it is appear
ing simultaneously in dealers win
dows from Maine to California.
