Managers for the railways contin-
ued meeting at their hotel for discus
sion of the situation. Representatives
of the employees, however, held no
conferences, save for informal con-
versations in the lobby of their hotel
Both sides continue reticent regard
ing the discussion. The railroad
managers declined absolutely to talk
of the negotiations, and about all the
employers representatives would say
was that there "still is hope"
GarretSOn Is Hopeful.
1.-THE lamp of hope will continue to
burn until some one kicks it over.
A. B. Garretson, spokesman for the
employees, said smilingly as he left
the white house. Nothing has been
done, and nothing undone, and we
will see the president whenever he
desires to see us. 1t is now up TO
the railroads. The situation has
reached point where it is hanging
in the balance, and if the railroads
do their part there is no reason why
we should not be brought together.

by saying: Let us continue praying"

A great many car owners have in
some way or other, got the impress
sion that weak battery can be re-
stored to its proper condition by add
ing acid to the solution. According
to the Willard Storage Battery COM
pany, this is grave error and one
which is, in nine cases out of ten,
apt to ruin the entire battery almost
Immediately.
1t is only natural that he average
car owner knows little or nothing
about the chemical action of the
storage battery. On this account it
is well for him to have nothing to
do with the chemical elements which
enter into the construction of his
battery if he wants to keep it work
ing right all the time.
The addition of acid to the solution
in battery will, in very short
time, eat away the plates and dam
age the battery until 1t is practically
useless. An amateur cannot mix
acid and water in the proper proper
tion for use as a battery solution.
Moreover, a storage battery can not
be charged by the use of acid and,
therefore, no good result is attained.

STANDARDIZATION KEY
TO MOTOR CAR SUCCESS

standardization is the basis of all
great success in the motor car in
dustry," said Mr.. Slaughter, Maxwell
distributor, in discussing the remark
able price reduction announced this
month by the Maxwell Motor COM
pany.
The manufacturer today who wants
to produce the very best values, the
utmost in service and quality for
certain price must standardize every
possible process of the work There
must be exact precision of workman
ship, standards of quality must be
maintained to the highest degree.
"In producing the Maxwell car,
the endeavor is to accomplish two
things, namely, the perfection of the
car, and development of our manu-
featuring process to eliminate all
waste in materials, labor and money.
Every part is so made interchange
able. 1t must fit into its place with
out strain. 1t must be right. Max
we'll engineers make sure of the de
sign, the strength of the material
used for each one of the parts, and
then adhere absolutely to the stand
dard which they have set for them
selves. This is what is meant by the
term standardization as applied to
the manufacture of Maxwell cars.
And if you will study the most
successful concerns you will find that
every one is following this plan. Not
perhaps to such great extent as is
the case with the Maxwell Motor
company, but they realize that it is
the right course, and are making pro-
gress in that direction"

either be restored to that condition
by doing considerable running with

by having the battery charged from

On this account, it is better for
every car owner to be in personal
touch with battery expert such as
will be found at any Willard Service

sure that his battery Will be properly

MUNITION TOWN OF FRANCE
10 creusot and the Immense Ordnance
Factories Started There by
the Schnelders.

lie Creusot Is the center of Frances
war munition works. Like the famous
Krupp works of Germany, LIE Creusot's
vast ordnance factories owe their
origin to the organizing and inventive
genius of one family-the Schneiders.
At the outbreak of the war the
Schneider Iron works employed more
than $4,000 workmen and their great
shops, covering hundreds of acres of
ground, were connected by network
of nearly 40 miles of railroad trucks.
Since the war this plant has been
enormously increased, says National
Geographic society bulletin.
LIE Creusot owes its Importance in
the manufacturing and foundry indus
try to the fact that it is in the center
of one of the richest coal and iron min
ing districts of France. The coal beds
of this region were discovered in the
thirteenth century, but 1t was not UNI
| tn 500 years later, in IVA, that the
/ first iron works were established. Sixty
years later the Schneiders, Adolphe
and Eugene, established their first
workshops here and the little hamlet,
| formerly known as CharbOnniere, be-
gan to grow. In 1S41 it was town of
LOCO people; just before the war there
were $4,000 inhabitants, nearly half OF
whom were employed in the arinOr-
plate factories. the gun shops, the 10
comOtive works and the ordnance
plants. II VAS one of the Schneiders,
incidentally. who revOlutiOnized war
ship arm meni IN 1876. Up to that time
the MOI II, aggressive nations used
wrought ron for protective arm0r on
their s. Us. Schneider proved the
superiority of steel in resisting the
penetrating power OF projcctiles.

Lumber Shipments Less.

Tidewater mills of the north Pa
cific district shipped lumber cargoes
totaling 1,033,739,942 feet the first
nine months of this year.
During the nine-month period for
the last four years these mills have

100000 feet
1885, 1852 feet
,047 650,2SS feet
1916....................... 1913, 739,942 feet
With 1913 and 1914 considered nor
NAL years, the falling off in lumber
cargo business for the comparative
nine-month periods of 1915 and 1916,
is said to reflect tonnage scarcity due
to the war rather than a contraction
of domestic and overseas demand.

port just issued by Fred w. Alexan-
der, secretary of the Pacific lumber
inspection bureau at Seattle, an or
ganization of Oregon, Washington and

than 30,OOO,O0O feet have been shipped
