A. A., of Philadelphia. His antagonist,
Johnny Dundee, has never tasted de-

lightweight title in the opinion of New

CITY AUTO EXHIBIT
TO BE A DAZZLER
All Models of Cars to Be
Shown at Hotel DUPONT
This Month
MANY SOCIAL
FEATURES PLANNED

Picture the famous beauty Of the
Hotel DUPONT, to which renowned men
have referred in the highest terms;
add to this a symmetrical array Of
the handsome models of automobiles
which 1916 brings forth and one still
has but a small vision of the marvel
GUS setting for the second annual auto
mobile show in this city during the
third week in January.
Many a dinner of Wilmington's
elite has been made doubly inviting
on account of the artistic adornment
the tasteful establishment of the
green room in the Hotel DUPONT. And
it is in this room that large num-
Der of exhibits will be shown. While
the show is on. the diningroom will-be
on the mezzanine floor.
Vieing in attractiveness with and
perhaps more handsome than the
green room, is the lobby of the hotel,
in which the rest of the show is to be
held.
So closely are the lobby and green
room connected that when Chairman
J. H. Nixon has placed the different
cars in position the show visitor will
be able to look over 'he whole show
without great deal of moving about.
There will be NO confusion. Every
thing will lay right before one so that
with the least effort the beauties Of
the show may be seen.
i The effect of any automobile show
is wonderfully striking but under the
conditions that will govern in Will
mington, the exhibition will be superb.
To see all models of automobiles from
the snug runabOut to the luxurious
limousine so arranged that there is
no waste space, just room enough to
move about and yet so orderly that
they can all be taken in at a glance
is one of the exclusive advantages
for the local show which the arrange.
ments made by the committee in
charge are to bring about.
Talk about an atmosphere of high
tensionl Talk about sweep and surge
and zing! The person who can take
in the environment for the coming
show without that exaltation of see
ing big things done in a big way will
certainly be a person with a tiabby
soul and with senses that do not per
form their proper functions.
There will be no garish note in
I, the coloring for this show but the
colors will be deep, and rich. and sat
isfactory and in thoroughly goot
taste
Lending to the ethereal will be the
music of an orchestra which is to bC
dispensed throughout the show. Peo
e pie will be moving to and fro in grea
I crowds. There will be no formality
n no requirements, no admission
n charges-Only the opportunity TO loOl
n over the show and admire it from
; every viewpoint.
; It will be a great and dazzling spec
tacle.

HAS A BIRTHDAY
81 Years Since International
League Had lis
Inception
FINANCIAL SHOALS
HAVE BEEN MANY

The thirty second birthday anniver-
sary of the international League was
celebrated on Tuesday. It was ON Janu-
airy 4. 1854. that the Eastern association.
the parent of tae escnt Barrow circuit,
was formally launched at a meeting held
in Philadelphia. The international has
had many ups and downs in its long ca
reer, and when the Feds drove the big
minor out of Baltimore and Newark last
year and divided the patronage in But
falo, it was far from being the first time
the league has had TO pass through
financial shoals President Barrow's or
ganization was the worst sufferer in the
baseball war, but the prospects nre now
good for a return of prosperity.
Prior to the organization of the East
crn association in 1884. there had been
several important minor leagues in the
East The international Association,
launched in 1877, was the first-born of
minor circuits. Rochester is the only
city in the present international which
was represented in the old association,
the other cities having been Pittsburgh,
and Guelph. the last two Canadian cities
giving the league its international flavor.
The following year Buffalo, Binghamton,
Hornellsville. Utica, Syracuse. Hartford,
Springfield and Lowell had clubs The
pioneer international was succeeded by
the National Association, but the East
ern Association was the real parent of
the international League Of today
Trenton won the first pennant Of the
Eastern Association. and Newark
achieved first honors in 1856. when the
name was changed TO international As
sociation. The league operated under
this name three seasons with Toronto
Syracuse and Detroit the pennant win
ners. In 1891 the old name of Eastern
Association was again adopted, and
Buffalo copped the flag. In 1892 the
name was again changed. this time tc

tanned until 1912. when the present name
was adopted.
No less than 25 cities have had clubs
in the Eastern international League
since 1892. when the title of Eastern
League was adopted. In 1892, 10 citie
we're represented Buffalo. Providence
Rochester, Albany Troy Elmira. Nov
Haven. Philadelphia. Utica and Bng
hamton, the last named winning tn
pennant. Other cities since represented
include Baltimore. Jersey City. Montreal

and Harrisburg.
The recent vicissitudes of the Inter

Capt. c. E. Bean, official representa-.

Lance Corporal Keyzor Of the First
battalion won the Victoria cross
Keyzor was one of the best bomb
throwers in the Australian and New
Zealand army corps During fierce
attacks at the Lone Pine he was
throwing for so hours almost contin-
uously. He was sent to first one cor

constantly smothering with his coat
or sandbags the enemys bombs which
had fallen in the trench. He often
threw them back.

TESTS OF MILK PRODUCTION
Cost of Feed Must Be Considered in
Determining Value Of Cow-Fat
Content Is Factor.

You cannot tell by the test alone
the value of COW. 1t depends as
much on the amount of milk she gives
as on the test OF the milk A COW that
gives 10000 pounds of three per cent
milk produces 800 pounds of butterfat
and COW that produces 5000 pounds
of five per cent milk gives no more;
one will produce as many pounds Of
butter in year as the other, and in
asmuch as the fat content of milk is a
fair indication of the other milk solids
present, then the 10000 pounds OF
three per cent milk is worth more
for food than the 5000 of five per cent
milk Therefore one COW is as valuable
as the other from a business stand
point, provided it did not cost any
more to keep one COW than another
This third factor must therefore be-
considered in determining the value
of any cow-the cost Of production.
