HupmObile Exhibit Among
Largest at New York Show

"One of the largest, and certainly
one of the most attractive exhibits at
the Grand Central Palace is the Hup-
mobile, which occupies a prominent
space on the main floor, right aisle" q"
said f. c. Ensminger, distributor for
Central PENNSYLVANIA. six separate
body types of the Series M Hupmobile
comprise the exhibit, in addition to
the cut-out chassis, which shows the
sectional parts of the mechanism in
operation.
"The elaborate color scheme of the
various body styles makes the Hup-
mobile exhibit most distinctive. The
chassis is beautifully finished in cream
white and Cinnebar red; the Sedan is
finished in English violet; the seven
passenger touring car is attractively
shown off by a body of Chrome yell
low, and the chassis and wheels,
which are wire, are painted in light
cream color. The other models, the
ve-passenger touring car, the road
ster, the limousine, and the year
round touring are finished in the
standard Brewster green.
The Sedan and Limousine. at
tracted the greatest attention, espe-
cially among the women. The Sedan
was the particular favorite with the
feminine sex. and especially among
those who have been driving electricS
This type of body for a gasoline car
has all the good points of an electric
for women. and now that the self
starter eliminates the cranlSing of
gas cars, is becoming a strong COM
petitor of the electric.
"The Hupmobile Sedan shown is ex-
quisitely displayed with the English
violet exterior and special interior
trimmings and upholstery which sets
off the car to the best advantage.
THE year round car is also one of
the features of closed cars. This type
is shown in standard equipment. with
the addition of the special seat covers -

Enclosed Car Perfection
a Feature of N. Y. Show

The next big step in the automo bile
business is the all-absorbing topic
among manufacturers, dealers and
other visitors at the New York show.
a few years ago it was a question
between full-floating and semi
floating aXles. Then came the ques-
tion of foredoors or no foredoors
Starting systems versus the hand
crank next agitated the industry Then
followed debates on the streamline
body versus the old style.
During the past year the multiple
cylinder type of motor has commanded
wide neutrality-suspicious. among
the manufacturers themselves
Whether four cylinders, six cylin-
ders, eight cylinders or twelve are to
be used in the car of the future does
not seem to agitate the public to-day
nearly as much as deeper questions OF
quality, comfort and economy. The
average man is interested in buying a
motor car which will run day in and
day out without trouble-which will
enable him to take out his family in
comfort and without crowding.
Whether the car is four or twelve
cylinders does not bother his head as
long as his motor runs smoothly and
quietly, takes him over the hills easily
and enables him to start quickly.
The most interesting deveIopment
OF the year to many people is the ar
rival of a high-quality, low cost. en-
closed car Among the cars of this
type shown at the Grand Central Pal
ace none has attracted more attention
than the JefferY Sedan. It.will be re-
membered by close followers of the
business that the first motor Sedan
was shown by Jcffery four years ago
the first closed car without foredoors
and providing access to the front com
partment between divided front seats.
The new Jeffery Sedan possesses ali
the beauty of the original car which
sold at a high price, yet the 1915
product costs only little over s 900
and has demountable winter ton.
The entire car is built in the JEFF
fiery plant--each top tailored expressly
to fit the particular body It adorns
I'm this way all looseness. rattling and
-squeaking over rough roads has beer
eliminated. The top fits the car per
fectly and no one would ever suspect
1t could he removed.
Enclosed cars of this quality ai
prices like these have all had n ire
mendous effect on the industry. Peo-
sple who never before have driven q
winter car are buying this year and
enjoying oil the luxuries and comforts
that we're formerly restricted to the
owners of automobiles costing from
$4,000 to $1,000.

Over 100 Per Cent.
Increase in Working Force

The prosperous condition of the
automobile business is graphically il
lustrated by recent photograph taken
for the Thomas b. Jeffery Company
which shows 2,700 of its employees,
assembled at the noon hour in the
courtyard back of the Jeffery offices.
The Jeffery COMPANY this year is en-
ploying, including the night shift,
nearly 5000 men as compared to /, 300
year ago. During the first six days
of December the Jeffery Company
shipped more cars than were shipped
during the entire month of December
year ago. This tremendous increase
in business during month which is
generally considered slack period is
due primarily to three factors-a
realty increased domestic business in
pleasure cars and trucks--a heavy de-
mand from foreign countries which
have heretofore been supplied by the
warning nations-and the introduction
of the Jeffery Sedan. The Sedan at
Sligo has proved one of the most
popular cars of the season. It is built
entirely from the ground up in the
Jeffery plant--a custom-made en-
closed coach in every sense of the
word-yet the top is removable for
summer weather touring-and the
price lis only s165 above that of the
open touring car.
In spite of the fact that the Jeffery

FLIERS DARE NOT
DRINK THAW
American in French Army
Testifies in His 100000
Libel Suit

New York, Jan. 4. - Wearing the
French army identification plate on a
silver chain around his right wrist
and gold watch on his left wrist,
William Thaw, Second Lieutenant in
the French Aviation Corps. gave testi-
mony before United States Commits
sioner Houghton in the preliminary
hearing in his 100000 libel suit
against a New York morning news
paper
Lieut.. Thaw filed his suit as citi-
zen of the United States, but the ques-
tions put TO him by William A. De
Ford, attorney for the defendant, on
cross-eXamination were apparently
designed to lay the groundwork for
the contention that Lieut.. Thaw had
lost his citizenship by reason of serv-
ice in the French army.
Lieut.. Thaw testified that he en-
listed in the Foreign Legion in August
1914 when he was not 81, but that in
the following December he changed
over to the Aviation Corps. which was
distinct from the Foreign Legion and
a part of the regular French army.
What ceremony were you put
through when you enlisted?" asked
Mr.. De Ford.
Promised Obedience
Il signed paper promising obedi-
ence and allegiance to the French
Government-but that was to have
effect only during the war"
why did you join the French
army?'
My enlistment may be ascribed to
three motives" replied the witness.
MY love of France. my dislike for
Germany and my fondness for avia-
ton"
Lieut.. Thaw added that he did not
consult his father about the matter
and that his mother. who was in Paris
with him at the time, did not exactly
approve of the step, but left the de-
cision to him. 1t was hard to imagine
from Lieut.. Thaw's quiet, almost diff
dent appearance that he was the
young American whose intrepid
flights over the German trenches had
gained for him rapid promotion in
the French army. His answers to
questions bearing on his bravery were
brief and matter of fact.
''I received one citation in the
orders of my division" he said, "and
another in the orders of the army,
with the ACCOMMODATING military
cross. Then I received letter of fell
citation from Gen. Humbert."
In his libel suit Lieut.. Thaw de-
clares that a special Sunday article
published in the defendant newspa-
per confused him with his cousin,
William Thaw 3D., who married Miss
Gladys Virginia Bradley, sister of
Mrs. Anthony DreXel Biddle. The
subject of the special article was pic
tured as a wild young scapegoat who
had been reformed by his marriage.
Lieut.. ThaJy declared that he had
never been married.
Moreover" he added, "I have al
ways been a man of temperate habits,
although l would not call myself q
teetotaler One cannot drink in the
aviation business.
Have you ever drunk your club
companions under the table or have
YOU ever associated with drunken day
laborers?" asked his attorney, for
mer Judge Henry A. Gilderseeve.
Most emphatically not was the
answer.

Gold Chassis at New York
Show Most Expensive Built

Built and finished at a cost of more
than $4,000 the Studebaker gold
chassis has proved one of the big
sensations at the New York automo-
bile show held during the week. 1t
also will be on view at other lead
ing motor car exhibits throughout the
country
Men who have attended every au-
tomobile show since the first was held
say they were never treated to as big
a surprise as this StudebaSer chassis,
finished from stem to stern in purest
gold 1t is the most expensive chassis
ever built, and yet it is standard in
every detail Of construction, with the
exception of its brilliant gold finish.
More than $50 ounces of pure gold
were used, and nearly 5000 parts are
finished in gold. Only one firm in the
country had the facilities to under
take the job, and even this concern,
yale & Towne, of Stanford, Conn,
mad to arrange for special 15-foot Vats
and other equipment.
This chassis, protected by heavy in
surance, has been watched constant
ly by Pinkerton men since its arrival
IN the city, chiefly to keep admirers
and curiosity seekers from chipping
off pieces of the gold for souvenirs.
In addition to being the most eX-
pensive chassis at any motor show,
this Studebaker gold chassis is cost
lier by far than any complete car in
the history of automobile shows.
The gold chassis does more than
simply repose in its majesty. Cut out,
1t reveals the vital mechanism of the
car in a way that is a liberal education
to those interested in seeing just how
the mechanism of an automobile
works.
The gold finish lights up the little
details of the chassis and shows the
refinement of finish and the perfec-
ton of manufacture, according to the
Studebaker officials, as nothing else
can. 1t enables all who see it to OBJ
serve its simplicity of construction and
accessibility, as well as the cleanness
of design and care of construction.

THE DEAD SEA NOT so DEAD

The name Dead Sea" nowhere oc-
ours in the Bible, and was not used by
writer's before the time of Christ. The
name was evidently given to the lake
on account of the belief that no life
existed in it. But some low forms of
life are found in the water, and many
small animals and birds live near the
shores. The great tragedy of Sodom
and Gomorrah may also have led to
the bestowal of the name.-THE CHRIS

WALLFLOWERS, TAKE NOTICE

THE modern man is not strong for
early marriage" says a commentator
in the December issue of the Woman's
Home Companion. "He knows that it
means a sentence to hard labor for
him, because he knows what it costs
to keep the modern family. That's
why you hear nice, attractive but quiet
girls say they can't understand why
we pass them up for the f1ashy girl, the
dance-mad girl, the girl who would
doubtless make an extravagant, useless
wife. We have our play-day with the
jolly, lively girl, because she is mighty
good company for the time being. She
is not anxious to marry and settle
down any more than the man is"

Bywater's family passed the early
sur<mer at -the-sea. The
consul spent his week ends with them.
On a recent visit he was approached
by a policeman just az he left the train.
His papers were requested. He showed
them. They were declared unsatisfac-

The gold-braided officer said he
would have to take Mr.. Bywater to the
station house. Austrian submarines
were rumored to be In the vicinity. The
town was suspicious OF all strangers.
and particularly OF all foreigners.
Bywater vainly demonstrated. He had
had a similar experience the year be-

So the United States consul was led

But these are valuation figures,

There are probably fewer engage

THE HIGH SCHOOL PAPERS

II the shortage of print paper in
terferes with the publication Of
Washington high school periodicals
it will be regrettable. These papers
form a valuable adjunct of high
school life here. They rank with the
best high school publications in the
country, and have formed valu-
able aid to the English courses in
the high schools.
The oldest Of them, "The Review" +"
at Central High School, has an jn-
teresting history. Publications at
Eastern and Western have been
known for their high merit. "The
Balance Sheet" at Business, and
"Tech Life" at Mckinley Manual
Training School, have been used as
training fields in the technical and
artistic branches of publishing, as
we'll as for training in English.
The work done on these papers
has been valuable enough, in many
instances, to get credit in the high
school courses. It already has been
proposed to give such credit for
cadet drills. Some of the papers
have given prizes in fiction writing,
others have printed the best products
Of the English courses. From these
papers have graduated men who
went into active newspaper life
later.
The actual work Of writing, edit
ing, making up" and business
managing these papers is a, minia-
ture c0urse in journalism
