Naval medical authorities, after ex-
perience gained in naval operations at
Vera Cruz, are of the opinion that
white clothing, particularly white

suns rays and are therefore insult
able for use in the tropics 1t is rec
commended that only khaki or forestry
neutral clothing be supplied to the
navy for landing parties.-The Path

MOTOR GOSSIP
By Isl" GR0GAN

John Bartram. who represents the Bake,
and Rauch & Lang electrics in this CITY
is a great believer in the idea that thu
acknowledgements car is the machine
of the future. He is going to the New Yorb
show primarily to see the new Over
Magnetic car. which has an electric
transmission that is manufactured by the
company he represents.
NJ. B. Bayles, manager of the Record
Auto Service. is of an ingenious turn OF
mind. He has invented a demountable
rim and is now working on a new anti.
skid device for motor cars. He expects
to take both Of them to New York with
him tomorrow for exhibition at the biz
show.
Stanley Horner. manager of the Buick
Motor Company. has only one request
Year. That Is that they supply him with
sufficient cars to fill all the orders the
local branch can get
DR.. w. b. Carr, like many other
automobile owners. is a most nthusiastic
fan. He says that all automobiles are
good. but that his Dodge is Just a little
bit better than the rest.
It is estimated that during th. wear
1916 there will be 100000 motor cars
manufactured in the United States. Dur.
ing the year just closing. there were sse,-
900 machines built
The National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce is sending out letters to all the
dealers In the United States urging that
they write to their representative in Con-
gress to support a measure whereby the
Federal government will annually ap-
propriate a sum of money for road main
tenance. this amount to be apportioned
among the States on the basis of popula-
ton, and also to have each State ap-
propriate an equal amount At the
present time there are 2.273oO0 miles of
public roads In the United States and
there IL an automobile in use for each
mile Of that road, with the number fast
increasing.
With the increase in capitalization OF
the Chevrolet Motor Car Company from
s30.ooo. 900 to Ssooo0.000 and the merger Of
this company with the General Motors
Company. It is intimated that an active
campaign will be started for supremacy
in the low-price car field. This rumor is
given color by the report that James
Couxins, generally credited with having
been the dominant factor in the success
of the Ford Motor Company, but who
resigned after . disagreement with Mr.
Ford on the latter's stand on prepared
ness. has become one Of the largest stock
holders in the new company and will
have an active part In the direction OF
its affairs.

The tranquil course Of the women'i
\ Auxiliary conference Of the Pan-Ameri.
can Scientific Congress Ii threatened with
| rude disturbance at today's session OF
shortly thereafter.
Despite the denial Of one high In au.
thority that any such . course would be
permitted. It is known that q strong suf-
| frage demonstration is in prospect. and
| that those behind II are merely perfect
ing an organization competent to push 4
pro-suffrage resolution through before
starting the rumpus.
Suffrage was coldly frozen out Of the
conference by those who made the pre-
lipinary arrangements. despite the pres
ent fact that q large majority Of those
attending its sessions are believers In
woman suffrage. Mrs. Lansing. wife of
the Secretary Of State, Is an anti-suf-
rag!st. however. and her influence is
blamed for the absolute omission of
suffrage discussions from the program.
Resolution Delayed.
Sizing UP the lay Of the land, Mrs.
Jesse Harding Stubbs Mackays, one of
the most aggressive Of the organizers Of
the Congressional Union. started in
Tuesday to upset the well-laid plans to
freeze the suffrage question to speech
lessness. She has prepared q resolution
frase. and had planned to present IL
at yesterdays session. Yesterday, how
ever. it was determined to postpone the
issu. until today. In order more fully to
insure favorable action.
Nothing further was heard yesterday
OF the plan to organize the conference on
permanent basis, but this Is expected
to come out In . comprehensive resolu-
tion later In the sessions, Very marked
interest is being shown by women of all
the Americas In the conference. and ex-
pressions Of hope that the meeting Will
find issue In q permanent organization
are common.

Jan. 13.-The dreadnaught Courbet,
one of Frances only four warships Of
this class, lies at the bottom of the
Mediterranean after an attack by the

The Courbet had a complement of

during her maneuvering the Jean Bart
rammed the Courbet. With her COM
