EXCLUSIVELY SKIES
FOR PAIGE COMPANY

On general policy the Paige-Detroit
Motor Car Company stands pat for the
new season in spite OF all exceptional
conditions in the labor and material
market and unmoved by tendencies
here and there to experiment with
fancies in design and mechanics.
The Paige claim of a resolution hit
in the field OF Skies seems justified in
view Of the popularity of this car and
the fact that six months ago rapidly
expanding business compelled the
erection of large additions to the
new factory that had just been en-
tered and preparations for new manu-
featuring methods and great supplies
Of material.
The Paige is confining itself exclu-
sively to the Six field, in which it has
made its overwhelming success, and
this company opens the year 1916 with
two models, the five-passenger Six
"3s.' selling for $1.O50. and the seven
passenger Six "46." selling for 1925.
For the latter chassis. however there
are several additional body styles
The Cabriolet. at $1,000; the Coupe, at
S1,700; the Sedan, at $1,000. and the
Town car, al S2,250; also a Limousine
soon TO be added This is the Paige
line. and the company's exhibits at all
automobile shows for the year will
be based on these models and body
styles. The announcement is also
made that the company has figured on
a production OF about 10000 cars, and
is guaranteeing It's 1900 dealers i'm

Cadillac CHASSIS
Attracts attention
New Workers See Duplicate
of Mechanism Show at
Hotel du POnt

In the Cadillac booth at the automo-
bile show is shown a chassis with
many portions cut away. exposing the
internal construction and mechanical
operation a feature which the Cadil-
lac Company,Nyas first to inaugurate in
the early days of the industry and
which has been a feature in every
show since that time.
This chassis is a duplicate of the
one which attracted so much atten-
tion at the Panama-Pacifc Exposition
and at the Hotel dupont here, where
the Harris Engine Co., local agents for
the Cadillac had II on exhibition.
The body types exhibited at the New
York show include the seven passen-
ger touring car. the Roadster, the
coupe. the brougham and the Berlin.
Lack of space makes IL impossible
to exhibit the entire line, which in
addition to the above, consists of a
/ five passenger salon, victoria and a
limousine.
A comparison of the present Chas-
sis with that shown a year ago re-
veals no radical changes ir mechani-
cal principles.

new YORK SHOW TO
Be The BEST EVER

The apparently surprising success
OF the current New York automobile
show Is an augury Of similar results
at the Wilmington show.
Reports say that not only has the
attendance been very large. but that
both as TO wholesale and retail sales,
a record is being made that it will
take an almost impossible slump for
the rest Of the week to change.
According to advices from those on
the spot, the show has already proven
two very important facts: First, that
the sensational price reducing era
which started last year is over, and,
second. that winter driving is hecom-
ing universal.
The former is largely due to the
fact that raw materials, good and bad,
are exceedingly high, while the latter
is an evolution that has been noted
ever since August. 1914. when the
Kissel Motor Car Company came out
s with the first standard convertible
car. the so-called "All Year Car"

 Dandruff is the root of most hair evils. If it were not for the little de- structive germs working with a per- sisteney worthy of 8 better cause there would be but little badness, and less people prematurely gray.

LINCOLN AVENUE MAcADAM
 ONSIDERED BY COMMITTEE.
Appropriation for Improvement Was
 Made at Last City Meeting.

One of the most noticeable street .im- provements in the city, accomplished by Commissioner Fellows, is that of West Main street. which has been smoothed over, rolled and which has received an application of tarvia~ The tarvia was then sanded and rolled again. and this has resulted in a most acceptable surface and big improve nent over the former condition. The highway has been completed excepting that lying between the top of West Main street hill and Elizabeth street. All the surface that has been finished is watertight and the gutters being coated with tarvia will be free in fu- ture from grass and weeds.
 As the Thames street improvement may not be undertaken this fall, holes have been filled and Q coat of tarV1a has been applied from a. point near Richmond Radiator company to the city line.
 The committee held a meeting Fri day to consider the matter of giving the street commissioner authority to macadam Lincoln avenue from Wash ington street to Uncas street, for which an appropriation of $2,500 was made at the last annual adjourned city meeting, and for considering the matter of the improvement on Thames street..
 Blue gravel has been applied to Asylum street it's entire length and Elizabeth street from West Main street to Mt. Pleasant, and Mt. Pleasan from Elizabeth street to West Main street. These streets were full of rolling stones and were badly washed
 An improvement that meets with the approval of all is the strengthening of the sidewalk in front of the property of Leonard o. Smith on Washington street The new walk to be laid will be of granolithic construction and will be filled in and completed next week. MT.

SPECIAL. SESSION PLANS
 DISCUSSED BY GOVERNOR Legislators Not Expected to. Stay
 Longer, Than One Day.

Governor Holcomb held a confer ence in the executive office in the capitol Friday with enator George w. Klett, of New Britain, who in the ab- sence of Senator Isbe1l of New Ha- ven, will be the leader of the senate at the special session of the general assembly; Labor Commissioner w. $. Hyde, leader of the house. and Attor- ney General George E.. Hinman, on the arrangement of plans for the ses- sion. The session will be opened at il a. n., Tuesday. Resolutions will be presented covering the purpose for which the legislators were summoned by the governor. The resolutions will provide for the enactment of a statute to have the votes of the Connecticut soldiers on the Mexican border taken by commissioners to be appointed, in all probability by the governor.
 This will be referred to the commit tee on the judiciary. Another resolu- tion will be for an appropriation to meet the expenses of carrying out the law, and it will also be referred to the committee on appropriations. There is the possibility that a resolu- tion may be- introduced for an appro- priatfon for the care of the families of the soldiers and if there is it will be referred to the committee on ap- proprtations. An adjournment will then be taken to 5 o'clock in the af- ternoon and in the meantime the two committees will hold hearings on the bills referred to them.
 While no attempt will be made to expedite business at the expense of adequate deliberation it is expected that the business of the special ses- sion will be finished in the afternoon and that it will not be necessary to continue the session beyond one day.
 Governor HoIcomb said he had not received the slightest intimation from Washington as to what the govern ment intended to do in regard to the sending the troops home. He said that even though he heard at any time before the special session opened that the government would send the sol diers back in time to vote on election day. the general assembly would meet just the same.
 This statement was issued from the treasurer's office Friday:
 Members of the general assembly are not entitled to any pay for the extra session, but will draw mileage the same as for the regular session Treasurer Chamberlain will have checks ready at the close of the ses- sion for each member entitled to miIe- age. The three senators from Hartford and the two representatives will get nothing for mileage. It will require 2SS checks for the senators and rep l resenratives who are entitled to travel pay, amounting in the aggregate to $6,- 265."
