to be postponed because OF the inability
of the various sections and subsections
TO get in shape the various resolutions
which they will have TO present to the
general body.
Among these resolutions are likely to
be number recording the belief Of their
authors that the Derilous crisis through
which the world Is passing demands a
closer union OF the American republics
for purposes OF mutual protection and
defense.
Republics Send Congratulations.
Up to an hour before the session was
to have assembled. however, only a few
OF these resolutions were in shape for
presentation. These few included that
introduced in the conference of women
at their first meeting, createing a COM
mittee to bring about the creation OF
a permanent PRn-American Union for
Women, and to start a movement to
raise funds for the erection In WASH
ington OF a building similar to the pres
ent Pan-American building.
Also ready for presentation Is a reso-
luton prepared by the delegation from
Argentina indorsing the establishment
of a system OF exchange professorships
between the colleges and universities OF
Argentina and The United States.
The postponed session will probably
be held early next week. although
definite arrangements to that end have
not been completed.
In appreciation of the work accom-
pliShed during the first week OF the
congress. the Presidents OF all the
Latin-American republics, including
Mexico, have sent messages of con-
graduation to Ambassador SuareZ, OF
Chile. who Is president OF the congress.
Throughout these kilograms is no
ticeablc interest displayed in the efforts
OF the congress TO bring about a closer
union between the countries of the

ITS APPEARANCE
New Car is Almost Revolu.
tionary in Motor and
Construction.

The new Marmou ga" which is -.
most revolutionary in motor and bodv
construction, made its appearance on
the streets Of FL Paso this week WithjD
an hour after the cars had reached The
sales room Of the Franklin Motor Car
company, visitors began to arrive and
manager Leo J. frost and his assistants
have had little rest during the past five
days. There are so many new features
on the new MarmOn that IL takes some
time to show the visitors its man- ad-
vantages and Mr.. frost stated Friday
night that he was about ''all in
The extensive use Of aluminium Is ona
of the features of the car. Despite an
unusually large and powerful six cyIin-
der motor, the car is light in weight,
being a good half-tOn under the stand
ard weight of cars Of like size. Alumi-
mum figures largely in the motor while
the body is of similar material. One
feature which gives added strength TO
the chassis is that the running board
is hot-welded to the frame. This one
feature has made a big hit with all the
dealers and motorists who have seen
the car.
The lighting system is novel and
lights are so arranged that both the
driving seat and tOnneau may be illum-
mated when desired. All lights are
controlled from the instrument board.
The tonneau is unusually large and
roOmy while the two extra seats are
easy. OF access and are nicely uphol-
stored
While the official rating Of the motor
is "a horsepower, il has developed over
IS horsepower on block test. The motor
is high and the arrangement Of the hood
is such that there Is a straight line
effect from the top Of the radiator to
the instrument board, giving the car
unusually pretty lines
Accessory dealers will not have much
chance to sell goods to owners Of the
new Marmon. according to Ben Glenn
ents, Of the BOrderland Auto Supply
company. A close examination shows
the car to be equipped with practically
all the necessary accessories and the
latest ideas in mOtOrcar construction.
Possibly the buyer may want a fender
or an electric cigar lighter but the
socket for the latter is ready for the
connection Mr.. Clements is already a
Marmon booster but says so complete
a car is bad for the accessory men.
The car is very easy riding and while
the motor was a bit stiff when the car
was tried out by the automobile editor
this week. il is evident that the new
Marmon has worlds OF power, great
nexibility and all the speed that any
motorist can desire.
Manager L J. frost, OF the Franklin
Motor Car company, states that he con-
siders himself very fortunate to have
secured the Marmon agency and states
that he expects the car to be very pop
ular in the southwest. despite the fact
that il is a car Of quality at a medium
price and not in the so-called popular
price" class
