Paige Attracts Many
at the Western Shows

Numerous automobile shows have
been held this month at different
points throughout the country, sew
eral of the larger and more impor-
tant exhibits being in Western cities.
Reports from these shows indicate
very clearly that the same enthusi-
asm and confidence. the same prac-
tical results in the moving of cars
that marked the shows at New York.
Detroit and Chicago characterized the
exhibits held elsewhere. thus testify
ing to the sound condition of the
industry.
Henry Krohn. sales manager of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company,
has been making an extended trip
covering these various automobile
shows and has Just returned to De-
troit from the West Among the big
shows Mr.. krohn attended were those
held at Omaha and Kansas City,
where the results were especially
good.
From our own viewpoint" said
Mr.. Krohn, "the shows have been
especially encourag ging and profitable
and l can report the greatest enthu-
siasm among our Paige distributors
and dealers. Following our custom TO
take advantage OF these shows to get
Paige men together for social and
business purposes, Paige dinners were
held at each city during the show
period. At Omaha we had 175 Paige
dealers at our dinner and 13S at Kan
sas City. Enthusiasm ran high and
found our representatives in the field
so thoroughly pleased with the new
Paige 'Six-46' and the Gienwood 's6'
and with the demand for these cars
that I was more than satisfied our
previous prediction of a record-break-
ing season would be fully realized. In
these sections business is not about TO
pick UP, it has already swung into
its stride.
"At Omaha special attention was
attracted TO the Paige in a unique
manner. The management of the /.
Henshaw. the largest hostelry in the I,
city. removed a large section OF the |
plate glass window in the front of the !
lobby and showed moving pictures of /!
the Paige and the Paige factory dur |
ing the entire show week. This was /
easily the big feature and aroused an
amount of interest"

pany, Supervisor NJ. B. Hughes made
the interesting statement that the
wages of the graduates grade consid-
erably higher than those of the aver

shows that the pay of graduates who

Close to S400 was distributed among
the students for regular attendance
and meritorious class work. The
Cadillac school was instituted several
years ago by II. NJ. Leland, president
of the Cadillac Company, with the
idea of giving practical mechanical
training to young men. Its graduates
are fitted to do the work of first-class
mechanics. having been thoroughly
drilled in both the practice and theory
of mechanical construction as applied
to the motor car. The school is pro-
vided by the Cadillac Motor Car
Company for the benefit of the COM

TrainlOad of Oldsmobile
Model az For New York

The manufacturers of the Oldsmo-
bile are in receipt of their first Spring
trainload order for Model AZ touring
cars. An odd coincident is that the
order. which originated with one of
their distributors, c. II. Larson. of
New York City, calls for immediate
shipment of not less than 100 cars and
when loaded the cars will occupy ~
freight cars-so there will be AZ car
loads of Model ~.
This, they believe, augurs extreme
prosperity for Spring and indicates
clearly that their light weight four Ca
faithful copy of the Oldsmobile big
six on a somewhat smaller scale) will
enjoy an overwhelming demand during
1915 and necessitate maintaining in
their plants the increased production
schedule which went into effect last
August when the Model AZ was
launched.
c. II. Larson has been handling
Oldsmobiles in Broadway, New York,
for more than IL years and is enjoy
ing an increase in sales of more than
500 per cent. this season over the cor
responding months of last year.

Attractions of Large
Cars Because of Comfort

very many drivers prefer TO handle
a Dig powerful car. This. not alone
because OF its increased accommoda-
uon Tor passengers. but because of the
pleasure OF driving large, powerful
machine.
Ihe vogue of the light six has be-
come so wide that some people seem
TO think that there is nothing else TO
De considered except the moderate
sized. light car. Nevertheless there
exists very numerous class to whom
large, powerful car such for in
stance as the Hudson Six-54. appeals
more strongly than does the smaller
car.
With its two auxiliary tonneau seats.
the Hudson Six-54 accommodates
seven people with the greatest of ease
me divided front seat makes it easy
Tor people TO move about in the car
without the necessity of leaving it,
There is ample room for luggage and
the carrying capacity of the car is very
great. The feeling that he has be-
meath the hood something better than
90 II. p. available at the turn of
hnger or pressure of the pedal is
very gratifying to the driver. On the
SUBURBAN roads, and on cross-country
tours, the Dig "a reigns supreme in
the minds of many motorists
Objection sometimes is made that
it is difficult to handle a large car in
congested traffic, but owners and
drivers of the Hudson Six-54 make
no such complaint. The car is so
feEibly engined, so excelIently con-
trolled, and the steering connections
and front wheels are so admirably adj
iusted that no difficulty whatever is
experienced in handling even SO large
a car in dense traffic.
This largest model of the Hudson
Six is furnished in the open phaet
car, in a magnificent limousine and in
the popular sedan-oRe OF the most
cars for owners driving that
has ever been produced.

Elms Now in Place
Along Front Street

More than 200 sturdy young elma
have been planted in Front street
from "Hardscrabble" northward TO
Division. The finishing touches to this
big job We're added Saturday by City
Forester Harry j. Mueller.
In years to come these small trees
will have branched out into towering
shade producers that should form a
splendid archway of green across the
broad driveway.
In all 213 trees were planted under
the eye of the park department. Every
tree is worth about $40 apiece; Incl
dentally these young trees were taken
from the city nursery on the island.
OF the eighty-seven trees planted last
Spring eight had to be replaced by
new ones; in addition to these eight
there were planted Just 1874 new trees.

work conducted during the past year
by City Forester Mueller under Park

115 Norway naples which had been
purchased in the Spring had also been
set out where they were needed in

For and Against Grade
Crossing Abolition
StseiaI to The Telegraph

Carlisle, Pa, Nov. 29.-Viewers ap-
pointed to take testimony for and
against closing the grade crossing at
Ferry street, Wormlysburg, heard a
number of witnesses to-day.
Many testified that the new subway
at Walnut street, with the proposed
new road leading to Camp Hill, would
furnish ample accommodation to those
now using the grade crossing and that
1t would also result in many improve
ments in the vicinity of the new sub
way. They said it was of little con
Germ to them if the grade crossing was
abolished, as long as they would get
the benefits and accommodations in
dicated in the improvement plans.
Among those few who testified who
opposed the abolition of the crossing
were Michael Keister. William Brin-
ton, James w. Jacobs James McCor.

the opinion of these witnesses, the
grade crossing is no more dangerous
than the subway at the west end OF

By Associated Press

Warsaw, Nov. 10, via London, Nov.
29.-IIundreds of thousands of the
civil population in the Warsaw dis
trict of Poland are suffering for want
of food. A considerable percentage of
this number still are homeless, living
in huts, caves and abandoned trenches.
The situation is more serious be-
cause of the immense number of per-
sons thrown out of work by the almost
complete paralysis of Polish industries.
Some workers have emigrated to Ger
many, where employment is plentiful,
but the great majority prefer to re-
main near their homes in the hope of
better days. Prominent Poles in all
walks of life maintain that drastic
relief measures are necessary If whole
sale deaths from starvation are to be
prevented.
Such flour as is now on hand is be-
ing distributed by the Germans under
the bread card system, but only pota-
toes are available in quantities. while
there is an acute shortage of dried
vegetables, meat fats and condensed
milk Prices all over Poland have
risen to unprecedented heights, but
ment of maximum prices, il is claimed,
because of the fear that importation
then would cease altogether.
Suffering Acute
Suffering is especially acute among
the families of Russian reserVistS who
formerly received regular payments
from the government. Pensioners now
are cut off from their former incomes
and the Russians are charged with
having taken with them the funds OF
savings bank depositors.
