C0ntradicts Current Rum0r.
Milwaukee, Wis, Jan, 81 .-President
Wilson threw down the gauntlet today
to opponents of national preparedness
who have declared that the movement
sprang from the desires of munitions
and armament manufacturers to make
money.
There are some things that are be-
ing said that | hope you will not be-
lieye.' the president declared. 1T is
being said that this agitation for pre-
paredness for national defense comes
chiefly from those who are interested
in supplying the government with the
munitions of war and from those who
are interested in supplying it with
their armament.
Gentlemen, do not allow yourselves
to be misled by statements of that
sort. Anything that the government
does somebody is going to make
money out of; but the impulse for
this thing does not come from these
quarters. The impulse comes from
men disinterested, men who know the
actual circumstances of the country,
and who know that these things are
Immediately necessary"
The presidents declaration WAS de-
livered from the rear platform of his
private car at Racine, Wis, half an
hour before he reached this city.
Before he began speaking, the
president stood bareheaded, silently
smiling down at the crowd. Mrs. Will
son stepped out beside him.
Here is someone, ladies and gen.
tlemen," he said, much bette worth
looking at than l am"
The crowd applauded and Mrs. Will
son smiled broadly.

Effective March 1st the price of the Chalmers Six
40 will be S45o o. b. Detroit. This is an increase
of SIoo over the present price 1t is made necessary
BY the sharp rise in cost of raw materials.
Aluminium which sold for 10 cents pound only
few months ago, now brings 50 cents.
Copper has risen from ii cents to "a cents
Vanadium steel year ago brought IS pound.
Now it sells for $3.50.
High speed steel formerly at ST,o5 pound is
worth 1886
Leather formerly 20 cents foot now brings 80
cents And so on.
All told, it costs SIIS.22 more in raw material to
build the Six-4o than it did some months ago. AS
this amount considerably in of our net profit
per car, only two courses open to us
One was to raise the price
10 follow the latter course meant 'One-year car.
This kind of automobile Chalmers has never built
and never will build.
Therefore rise in price the only procedure
possible.
We regret that increase in price is necessary but
we feel that other manufacturers of automobiles will
be forced either to increase the price or lower
grade of materials.
For it is not possible to buy superior products in
pays
to purchase the SiX-4o and have been quoted the
$3.50 price, take this opportunity of saying that
will accept orders at that price up to midnight
February 60 Thereafter the price of SI,45o f. O. b.

HAY FEvERITE HAVING HIS TROUBLES.
Mecca of immunity for the annual con-
vention of the pollinosis patients.
In New York, since time immemorial,
Aug. 10 has been the official day for
the opening of the open season for
sneezes. The red noses and weeping
eyes will arrive right on time this year,
according to F. f. Jerome, chairman of
the board of directors of the Hay
Fever association and custodian, dur
ing eleven months of the year, of all
the sneezes of the nation. Mr.. Jerome
says that hay fever promises to retain
its popularity this year, despite the
drive of appendicitis as the ailment Of
the aristocracy.
That there are 25000 sneeZers in New
York state is stated in the annual re-
port. The report adds that the aver
age number of days that sneezers
sneeze is forty-two each year; that the
average number of sneeZes sneezers
sneeze each day is seventy-three. This
makes a grand total of 76,650000
sneezes a year in New York. Rockies
in the ranks of the hay feverites point
with pride to these figures.

WAR AND INSANITY
Has Not Driven Mad So MANY
Soldiers as Was Expected.
FIRST REPORTS EXAGGERATED

DR.. Dumas, Who Has Treated All
Cases of Mental Trouble In One of
French Armies, Describes Queer H.
lusions of Demented-Cases of GEN.
eral Paralysis Few.
Paris.-The war has not driven mad
so many persons as was expected in
the early stages. Statistics thus far
show that the first reports Of men
going crazy under the internal fire of
modern artillery were exaggerated.
A report made by DR.. Dumas, who
has treated all the cases of mental
trouble in one of the French armies,
covers 1,1SS cases of derangement, of
which only 31a per cent were cases of
general paralysis, while in most
asylums in time of peace the proper
ton is 10 per cent. This he takes as
conclusive evidence that the fatigues
and connections of war have no in
fiuence upon the development of this
form of insanity. General paralytics,
rave about the war, the same as cases
in which the symptoms are quite differ
ent, and DR.. Dumas concludes that the
life of the combatant often simply
gives a war color to delirium that
would have existed under normal cir
cumstances, but in a different form.
Horror inspired by battle scenes
sometimes works directly on the nerv-
GUS system, developing symptoms such
as hysteria, speechlessness, deafness,
loss of the sense of feeling, fits of men,
tai confusion or paralysis, not always
accompanied by Authorizations or de-
lirium. Optimism of the most eXagger-
ated type Is the dominating note in the
hallucinations of the paralytics, and
DR.. Dumas considers it wonder that
officers do not in fits of exaltation give
absurd heroic orders that lead to disas-
tiers. In one case lieutenant who de-
clared to the doctor that he had Clean
ed out German trench with two ma
chine guns that he had carried on his
back from a point several miles in the
rear" had remained in command Of his
SeCIlOH Until 1Ollg -SlSlI hOulS bC1OlO
he was examined. A few days later
captain was brought to DR.. Dumas
fresh from the command of his COM
pany suffering from an equally radical
fit of exaggerated optimism"
A considerable number of the men,
tally debilitated have the mania of in
vention. DR.. Dumas is Of the opinion
that the number of these cases outside
the army would be found greater in
proportion If the minister of munitions
could make public the correspondence
he receives from civilians. Among the
debilitated were several men and Off
GERS who didn't know Where and for
whom they had been fighting. One de-
clared that he was unaware that France
was at war.

OPERATION ON SKULL
REFORMS PRISONER
conviet's Change Causes Jersey Pardon
Board to Grant Him Freedom.
Once Rebelious, Now Gentle.

Trenton, n. 1.-THE New Jersey court
of pardons announced recently that at
its meeting a long list Of applications
from convicts for pardon and parole
had been considered.
A noteworthy case for parole acted
upon favorably was that of James
Szlkely, a Hungarian, sentenced to
serve thirty years in state prison for
killing a fellow countryman in War
rem county. The murder was par
ticularly brutal. Szikely manifested
morose tendencies in prison and COM
planned continually of pains in his
head. DR.. Martin w. Redden, a sur
geon of Trenton, and the visiting pris-
on physician, decided to operate on the
prisoners skull For a time after the
operation the man lowered between
life and death, but his condition i'm
proved and he was restored to his
faculties. From a sullen. rebellious
prisoner he became a willing. eager and
kindly worker. He could remember
nothing whatever about the crime for
which he had been given long SEN

Every night the dog keeps a close

Villagers long ago gave up hope Of
