A New Way Of
 Getting Trimmed

An Iowa paper contains the fol. lowing:
 How is this tor going some? :? An Iowa farmer and his wife decd- ed they could not get along so the sued for divorce and got s5,ooo as alimony. After short time the farmer got lonesome, so wrote his former wife, telling her of the fact and asking her to marry him again. She consented and told him to come on and they would try itagain. The farmer arrived, and seeing his former wife again decided that he would be cetter off if he remained single, so he refused to ma. " her. Thereupon the former wife sued her former husband for breach of promise, and the court and jury gave her a verdict of S5,ooo dam ayes. Thus the old boy was trim med proper.

MANUFACTURER OF
 AUTOS TALKS ABOUT
 PROFIT TO DEALERS

Dealers profits in 1915 is one of the first subjects handled in a booklet of exceptional interest, just issued by the Briggs-Detroiter company of Detroit. The title of the booklet is "A Business Talk to Automobile Dealers"
 It 'gets right down to brass tacks' It takes up the actual conditions of the market that today affect every dealer s business, the big output of cars for this year, the practice of forcing dealers to load up storing cars in off seasons. even urging them to borrow money frorS eanSs at high interest rates to do this the problems of competition, price cutting. everything the dealer has to face, and deals with them in plain terms. It treats at length of the manufacturer responsi- bility to the agencies.
 There has been much discussion of all these questions of late. In fact one or all of them may be said to be the ab- sorbing topics in both agencies and fac tories. Even the car-buying public "the innocent bystander," has been drawn into the argument, and finds it has vital interest.
 But comparatively little of the argu- ment has got into the literature of man. ufacturers. Having thoroughly familiar ized itself with the standpoints of manu- facturer, dealer and consumer, the Briggs Detroiter company has treated the sub ject in a way that makes the book of general interest.

Casket Held Booze Until
 Its Bottom Dropped Out

From The Globe Democrat.
 Charleston, w. Va.-Varied and ingeni- ous have been the expedients adopted to irrigate arid throats since this state went dry last July, but the most startling was the one revealed when promoters of a fake funeral came to grief. |
 A hearse, a hack and a casket were used in the plot. Waiting at local railroad station were the two vehicles. the hack containing three Inournful- faced men. From a passenger train stepped a yelled woman garbed in deep black. At the same time child's casket was removed from the baggage car.
 As the woman walked toward the wait ing hack to join the three men the crowd gazed at her in compassion and thers was murmur of sympathy as station employees started to carry the little cas- ket toward the hearse.
 Just as the white receptacle containing tEe "remains'' was being lifted to be deposited in the hearse the bottom dropped out To the astonishment of the onlookers quart. pint and half-pini bottles fell with smash to the side walk
 The black-gowned woman gave vent tc her feelings by uttering a word descrip- tive of region supposed to be even drier than West Virginia. The entire funeral party was arrested by agents of Prohibi- tion Commissioner Blue.

Would Kill a Locomotive

An ex-locomotive engineer in the grand stand at the San Diego races in March was very much impressed with the won derful work done by the cars. especially the nonstop record.
 'It is almost inconceivable,' said he, "to think of locomotive running 300 miles on rails without stop. To think of an automobile doing that, and on an ordinary road with a speed of more than il mile minute. Is almost incomprehen- sible.
 Think of the ingenuity used in putting that machine together and the endurance the car must have. And don't forget the tires that will stand grind like that
 That's the marvellous part of the whole performance. One can understand the assembling of brass. steel and iron into machine that will drive a car the dis tance at the speed made but, to use the engineers word, it Is almost fncompre- hensible." how rubber, built into the shape of a pneumatic tire, can stand the grind between the upper and neither millstones of the ponderous car above and the grit and rasp of the track below.
 Something more than ordinary material must be put into a tire like the Goodrich Silvertown cord, which has made such records in every speed contest during the past year.

nicSeled trimmings and enamaled cylin- ders The bore is three inches and the stroke five inches.
 The twin six has a remarkable range of ability combined with almost complete absence of vibration at all speeds. This result is due not only to the continuous smooth application of power from the IF cylinders but also to the fact that the small bore of the cylinders and the use of a special aluminium alloy In making the pistons have reduced the reciproca.- ing weight of the F pistons and connect- ing rods to approximately half the weight of the corresponding parts in the previ- ous Packard model. The superior smooth- ness of operation, which Is inherent in this 12-cylinder engine insures longer life to the bearings and effects an economy in oil ano gasoline.
 The new car will be furnished in two wheelbase lengths. The '1-35'' is 135 inches and carries practically the present line of Packard bodies. The '125" Is 125 inches and takes a line of Packard built bodies which are a little less in length. There is a new type control board mounted on the steering column with combination lighting and ignition switch. This permits the operation of a combina- ton of lights with a single lever move ment.
 Those who have seen the new Packard twin six motor and driven behind it, say that it marks the greatest advance in motor car design since the passing of the primitive one-lunger. 1t is claimed that the man at the wheel is given an absolutely new sensation in motoring. The Packard company says that advance demonstrators will be shown in the principal cities within a few days.

SEATTLE TO MEXICO
 IN A CADILLAC EIGHT

Touring from Seattle. Wash, to old Mexico and back in a Cadillac Eight a party of residents of Washington had good opportunity to observe the behavior of the car under all sorts of driving con- ditions. The distance covered was l1O miles. and the elevations ranged from 62 feet below to 2000 feet above sea level. On a number of occasions as much as 100 miles were made without stopping the engine.
 The car negotiated the mountains with marked ease, and practically the whole or the Imperial valley of California, where many miles of deep sand were encoun- tered, was traversed in high gear.
 The location of the carburetor and ig- hilton distributor, high between the cylin- der blocks. were particularly appreciated when it became necessary to ford the flooded Santa Maria river. Men with horses were on hand to take moto.' cars through the stream, and just before the Cadillac came up two cars had tried to cross under their own power and stalled because the water was high enough to reach carburetor or magneto, or both The Cadillac was driven through the stream without trouble because of the high position of the carburetor and igni- tion apparatus

Honor System Claimed
 By Virginia College

From the New York World
 Boston-The University of Virginia has generally been credited with developing and first putting into effect the examina. ton system by which students are put on their honor and not subjected to the espionage of watchers
 But now comes the ancient William and Mary college of Virginia, which claims to have had a form of the honor system in l179, which it introduced through it's graduates into the University of Virginia
 Another southern institution, the Uni versity of South Carolina, also lays claim to the honor of originating the system. According to recent survey made by the United States bureau of education, students of 123 colleges and universities of the United States are under the honor system. Among the prominent insttu- tions which have the system in operation, in addition to the three claimants to founders honors, are Princeton uni versity, Cornell university, Barnard col lege, Washington and Lee university, Smith college University of North Caro- lima, Stevens Institute of Technology. Swarthmore college, Beloit college and Wesleyan university.
 Neither Harvard nor Yale has eyer adopted the honor system and some in- sittutions frankly oppose the plan. among these being Brown university, Ohio uni -versity, Vassar college, Bowdoin col lege, Boucher college and Clark college. The president of Clark college has said ITO ask a student to sign pledge that he has not cheated in an examination is like asking a reputable man to hang up a sign in his window announcing that he does not use short weights"
 In some institutions the honor system has been tried and abandoned as a fail ure among these being Franklin and Mar shall college. the State University of Iowa and William Jewell college.

TWIN SIX PACKARD
 HAS 12 CYLINDERS

A sunult of rumors relating to a t2- cylinder Packard has been crystallized ky rne announcement of the twin six. at is stated officially that the new model will be on exhibition in Indianapolis dur Ing the week of the big race.
 In external appearance the new car retains all of the well known Packard characteristics. It looks much like previ- bus models, except that the hood is shorter. the radiator tapered to conform with 1t, and the running boards set two inches nearer to the ground The reduced length of hood permits of shorter wheel base
 When the hood is lifted startling changes are revealed. The 12 cylinders are there all right. but it is hard to real- ize that such power plant can be so compactly stored away.
 The twin six motor is exactly what it's name implies. two six-cylinder blocks arranged in V form with an angle of GO degrees between them This small in- ciuded angle allows such accessories as starting motor, generator and water pump to be placed in the standard Pack ard position just inside the frame, so that the space between the cylinders is Jeff clear and the valves are convenient ly accessible without the removal of a single accessory. The acute angle be- Tween the cylinders also permits of a narrow frame at this point with the result that the turning radius is even shorter than before.
 The motor is of clean-cut design with

RUSSIA GREAT FIELD FOR
 AMERICAN ENTERPRISE

"The field for American business de- velopment in Russia is unlimited" says W. " Logan of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, who has just re- turned from the Czars domains. All evidence is that Russia is having d great awakening and there is no end to the possibilities there for American business institutions whose representa- t,ves study Russian conditions and prepare for business realizing that Russia is not the United States and that American business methods must be modified and adapted when applied thore
 'Germans have had much of Russia's commerce No matter what the out come it will be long-if ever-beforc the war feeling subsidies. And that makes Americas opportunity. Few peo- rle in this country appreciate Russia S vastness. it's lack of development in industries of its own and its possi- bilities.
 Take the automobile industry; when the war started there were only 12,- 5o0 motor vehicles in Russia-trucks. pleasure cars, large and small. The government purchased between s15,- toaooo and $20.0OO. 900 worth while I was there. After the war American automobile products will be very well known The introduction is now be- Ing made. It is up to American man. ufacturers to follow the introduction if they care for the enormous busi- ress that can be theirs.'
 MT. Logan sailed from New York in January. To reach Petrograd he wen; first to London, to New Castle by rail, by 650-ton steamer to Bergen, Nor way thence to Christiana and Stock holm. from there instead of across tine Baltic he went to the north of Swe- den within 36 miles of the arctic circle, soing around the north of the Baltic in reindeer sleighs. through Finland, then by train to Petrograd, the trip from London requiring seven days, He remained in Petrograd 10 weeks, ex- oept for two short trips to Moscow. Moscow, the ancient capital, is Rus sia's business center. Petrograd is the governmental and diplomatic head quarters" says Logan. Judging by those I encountered the Russians are a most hospitable and courteous peo- pie The official language seems to be French and some English German is known extensively, but now there is a war ban against speaking it, with heavy fines for offenders
 All industries are now centeri n g un government work. One hears noth- ing but war talk. Russia has S,000,00O i1en in training or action and every where there seems serene confidence that nothing but victory Is ahead "In Russia it seems that people ei- ther have plenty of money or none at all. Those who have are great spend = ers. Food supplies are apparently plen- tiful, but city prices-hotel prices

Women Thieves in Churches

JrOfn the Boston GOSt.
 A clever band of women thieves is suspected of working the wealthy congregations of several large Boston churches Rectors and seXtons of d least two houses of worship have been notified recently of purse and handbag thefts during services Circumstances have led to the conviction that it is the same band that operated last spring abong Back Bay churchgoers. Trinity church in Copelv square and St. Paul, 5 Episcopal cathedral have been visited by members of the femal gang lately
 The suspects are all women. One of them, at least. diseuises herself in deep mourning, apparently to throw her pro- spective victims off their guard. 9th ers of the suspected band are stun inglv gowned girls, attired always in the latest styles. One of the suspects is about 30 years old, another is said to he not more than 20.

IDA FARRELL VISITS
 AUTOMOBILE PLANT
Famous Woman Writer Pleased With
 Appearance of Factory

Ida M. Tarbell well-known authority on American labor conditions and spe- cial writer for the American magazine, visited the Chalmers Motor company re- gently She took an inspection tour of the factory under the direction of a Chalmers official.
 The primary reason for Miss Tarbell' S visit was the accumulation of data pre- paratory to a series of articles on safety precautions in automobile plants. She pronounced conditions existing through out the Chalmers factory to be ideal. Commenting upon the findings of her tour she said: 'I was especially impressed by the exquisite landscape gardening which sets off the Chalmers plant. It is one of the most beautiful factory sites in the whole country.
 Quite frequently in my travels I find that a classic facade often conceals a gloomy and unhealthful interior. But ! find that the Chalmers plant is light and airy throughout Sunshine and ozone, you know, are two very necessary and at the same time two very rare complements of the modern factory.
 "I find that every safeguard is taken against accident. The machines which menace human safety are well muzzled." "

BIG CONCERN, WILL
 PUSH DETRIMENTAL
Gearless Type of Differential to Be
 Made in Syracuse

Announcement is made that the New Process Gear corporation of Syracuse, N. Y, the worlds largest makers of au- tomobile gears. has entered into a con- tract with the Gearless DiRerential com pany of Detroit to manufacture the Bai- ley gearless differential for the general automobile trade.
 The arrangement was made after the most thorough and exhaustive tests by the New Process people, and after their engineers had reported it to be the first important improvement in the standard type of differential in 15 years.
 The New Process corporation will im- mediately inaugurate a thorough cam paign to interest manufacturers num- Der of whom have already arranged for tests. The parent company will con- tinue it's present policy of going after re- placement business on cars already in service. This has already reached large proportions, especially among the Ford owners
