100000 NEW CARS TO
BE OUTPUT FOR 1917
High Cost of Materials Causes Price of
Expensive Cars to Go Up; Cheap
Cars Go Down.

With approximately three million
motor vehicles in use in the United
States at the present time and an es-
timated production of two million
machines during the 1917 season the
tremendous development of the auto
mobile industry is realized. Judging
from the earlier models Of this great
production the chief attention of the
manufacturers has been centered on
improved body designs and appear
ance. Every new car that is making
it's appearance is more attractive,
more comfortable and includes greater
details and equipment than previous
designs.
According to reports from the
manufacturers there will be few me-
chanical changes in the 1917 models,
the greatest improvements being in
the body designs and equi pment.
These improvements are noticeable in
the low and popular priced cars as
well as the high priced machines,
and it is these features that are
largely responsible for the increasing
demand Of all types Of machines
and the tremendous production estim-

1917 season.
Some of the largest Of the manu-
facturcrs and their approximated
output for the coming season are the

SLAYER OF COL. BUTLER
ON TRIAL AT Ell PASO
Spaniel Claims He Did Not Intend
to Kill His Wife.

El Paso. Harry J. SPANIEL, who
was indicted today by the grand jury
of Brewster county on two charges of
murder in the first degree for killing
his wife and Lieutenant Colonel M. C.
Butler of the Sixth cavalry on July
20, while the three were out motoring,
returned to Alpine tonight.
AS in his former trips from the El
Paso jail where he has been closely
guarded, his departure was kept as
quiet as possible by the authorities.
He returned in the custody of Sheriff
Walton and Ranger Barnett.
81 did not intend to kill my wife
God knows" Spaniel exclaimed just
before he stepped into the waiting a,l-
tomobile at the Jail to leave for the
train.
He added quickly in explanation
that his wife jumped across his tar
get, the army officer, and that he did
not intend to kill her.

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS
MAKING MONEY NOW
Demands for Trained Men Is Increasing
Rapidly New Profession Uncrowded.

Federal aid in the good roads move
ment has opened up a grand oppor
tunity for college and university
students who specialize in the high
way engineering branches of civil
engineering courses. After winning
their degrees they will find early en-
ployment at good pay.
There has long been decided lack
of trained road engineers, and the
demand for them is increasing
rapidly. Probably no other branch
in engineering offers such sure re-
ward at this time.
Eighteen state highway commits
sions out of twenty-four reporting
to the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce in New York City state
that there is lack of trained road
engineers, and sixteen say that pref
erence would be given to graduates
of college highway engineering
courses i'll the appointment of addi-
tioal road engineers.
Nearly I,6OO engineers are now en-
ployed by the twenty-four state
commissions, and in addition about
1000 are employed as county and
city engineers in nineteen of the
states.
Salaries of highway engineers
range from 5000 to $4,000 a year. The
average is about 81, 800.
There has been a tremendous in
crease in highway improvement
throughout the country during recent
years, and the demand for good roads
is growing rapidly. Highway com
missioners report that they anticipate
the number of engineers employed
by the state highway departments
will be doubled at least within five
years.
More than $25O,0O0,OOO is now
spent annually in the United States
for road construction, repair and
maintenance.

WHY FALKENHAYN
LOST HICHlPLACE
Urged Giving Up Balkan Campaign and
the Emperor Dismissed Him.

London. H." According to reports
from Germany received at Berne, ="
says dispatch to The Wireless Press,
"the dismissal of General Erich Won
Falkenhayn from the post of chief
Of the German general staff was due
to his suggestion Of a complete change
in Germany's war plans, which En-
peror William Indignantly rejected.
"Predicting the complete downfall
of Bulgaria as the result of converg-
ing attacks from the north and south,
and in the end the consequent inter-
ruption Of communications with Tur-
key, General van Falkenhayn urged
that the whole Balkan campaign be
abandoned, that the eastern line be
shortened, and that the occupied ter
ritory in France be evacuated.
"The general expressed the opin-
ion that the transformation Of Ger
man strategy into a purely defensive
campaign on a shorter front would
paralyze the Entente Allies and make
it impossible for them to crush Aus
tro-German resistance unless they
fought with unlimited resources, and
then for ten years. Persistence in the
present plan of campaign, he said
would lead to disaster.
"Field Marshal Won Hindenbure
denounced this advice as childish
cowardly, and unworthy of the Ger
mans. Emperor William took vor
Hindenburg's view and dismissed vor
Falkenhayn.

SHACKLETON'S MEN
THOUGHT WAR OVER
Maroned Explorers, Taken From Ele.
phant Island; Biscuit and Blubber.

London.-Life on Elephant Island,
in the Antarctic, as it was expert
enced by the marooned men of Lieu
tenant Sir Ernest Shackleton south
polar expedition, who were recently
rescued and taken to Chile, is de-
scribed in a late message received
from Punta Arenas. According to
the message the first question Of the
men when taken off the island was !:
"When was the war over?'
"The day began" says the descrip-
tion, "with breakfast, which consist
ed merely Of penguin, fried in blub-
der, and a drink Of water. The
mornings duties consisted Of CLEAR
ing away snowdrifts and catching
penguin. Lunch was served at l
o'clock, consisting Of biscuit with
raw bludder. The afternoon was oc-
cupied with regular exercise over a
track 100 yards in length.
"At 5 O'Clock, when darkness fell
came dinner, consisting of penguin
breast and beef tea. Lacking tobac-
co, the men smoked grass from the
padding in their boots, while the pipes
were carved from BIRDS bones anc
wood.
"The members of the party tool,
turns in reading aloud from the only
available books, the bible, an ency
clopedia, Browning, Bacon's essays
and Carlisle s French Revolution. Sat
urday evening was always marked b,
concert, the feature Of which was
banjo playing. A banjo was the onl,
musical instrument in camp.
"On one occasion there was wei
come addition to the diet when sew
eral undigested fish were found il
the stomach Of seal and greatly en-
ioyed. These were the only fish OBJ
tanned during our stay. In Angus
there was change in the diet, when
limpets were gathered, and seaweet
was available as vegetable.

HOW TO TELL WHEN YOUR
BRAKES ARE DRAGGING

After adjusting the brakes be sure
that the wheels run freely. This is
done by jacking up the rear wheels.
and turning them by hand.
If the least resistance is felt and
the wheel, while spinning around
causes a scraping sound, the brakes
may be dragging. If the brakes are
of fabric the trouble may sometimes
be eliminated by prying the band
with a screwdriver or similar tool.
On tour, feel the brake drums at
intervals, and if very hot, it may be
assumed the brakes are dragging.

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
NEW TUNE TO TEXAS PEOPLE

Mercedes, Tex.-Band leaders with
the guardsmen ON the border were told
on their way down here that one of
the unwritten laws Of the south for
bade any band playing Marching
Through Georgia."
The band with the First North Da-
kota infantry apparently did not re-
ceive this tip, and when the band was
invited to give concert in the park
at Mercedes its first selection was
Marching Through Georgia.
To the surprise of every one famil-
lar with the unwritten law, the music
ians were vigorously applauded.
Inquiries revealed the fact that the
native never had heard the old march
ing song and believed it was one of
the new marches.

MILLIONAIRE SPORTSMAN
BUILDS SUBMARINE CHASER

New York.-This country is not go
ing to be caught unawares by an en-
emy submarine if Herman Oelrichs,
millionaire sportsman, has anything
to say about it. Mr.. Oelrichs, who is
a particular friend and chum of Vim
cent Astor, has just built one of the
latest types Of submarine chasers. -
The essel is 6O-foot patrol boat,
deeloping a speed of 50 miles an hour,
sufficinet to overhaul any submarine,
it is said. On the rear deck is rap
id fire gun large enough to put a
submarine out of business. Patrol
boats of this class are being used ex-
tensively in the present war and are
said to be effective.

100 pounds, and when he goes for a
walk, or strides about his office in
the National Palace while discussing
new note from the United States,
you can hardly keep up with him. He
is generally reserved and calm, and
speaks, as rule, in a voice so low
that at times it is difficult to under
stand his words. And while he talks
he has a habit of stroking his beard,
or running his fingers through it, as
though pondering over each word
as though the fate Of the world rested
on it-even if he is talking only of a
dinner the next evening.
There are exceptions. Once in a
very great while he will not be so de-
iberate. One time Carranza was really
angry few moments after a new
note from Bryan, then the American
secretary Of state, had been delivered
to him. The note had to do with an
insignificant matter, but Carranza,
casual onlooker might have observ-
ed, "hit the ceiling' He strobe
around the room in record time, and
ended with the exclamation:
eff things were only as they were
in former days, when things like this
could be settled man to man!'
The outburst was not typical of the
patient, gray-bearded lawyer as he
appears in his official capacity, nor
of the reserved man that he appears
in private life. But possibly it re-
vealed accidentally something of the
man inside, of character that he re.
presses with his studied slowness OF
speech and decision. 1t is this Gus,
tomary deliberation that distinguishes
him from most Mexicans, who are
generally considered volatile and
hot-headed people. He is of type
new to the Mexican, who likes some
thing of the romantic picturesque
ness of dashing Pancho Villa mixet
up in the personality of his popular
idol, and the Mexican is just begin
ming to become acquainted with thu
Carranza type.

ENORMOUS TONNAGE
AND CARS SCARCE
Montana Due for a Car Shortage in 0c
tober; Panama Canal Tied Up.

Traffic men of the various railroads
doing business in Montana are agreed
that is due for car shortage
in October and that the seriousness
of the shortage will depend on the CO.
operation the railroads receive from
the consignors and consign of
freight.
"There is no use trying to get be-
hind the facts" said one traffic man.
"There is going to be shortage, for
the enormous tonnage will swamp the
railroads. The real pinch will come
in about three weeks. We have re-
ceived reports from the various Mon
GUS increase in tonnage. Grain is
receiving twice as much grain for
shipment now as a year ago. Double
our grain shipments for September
of 1915 and that in itself is an enorm-
Gus increase in tonnage. Gran is
moving earlier from northern and
eastern sections Of Montana than
from the central and western valleys.
Some Of the shipments were late in
getting started, but the rush is now
on.'
"The eastern states are worse off
for cars than Montana will be at any
time>during the shortage,' said an
other traffic man. "The middle west
ern states are pretty well fixed for
equipment, as we are here, but on the
western coast the demand for cars
could not be met 10 days ago.
"The lumber shipments into Mon
tana are more than normal, but the
cars Of lumber shipped through the
state this fall show a great increase
over a year ago. One reason for this
is that the tieup of the Panama cana]
has resulted in the railroads being the
sole carriers, and this has come at q
time when the railroads need ever,
bit of equipment to take care Of crops
and the unprecedented shipments.
"Coal shipments are also heavier
than last year. In fact, all traffic
records are going to 90 by the boards
The threatened strike held back thou
sands of ears of merchandise and now
this class of traffic must be han
dled.'
The Montana state railway com
mission has mailed out a request tt
all shippers to unload and load car:
as promptly as possible so that the
railroads will be able to furnish NOR,
promptly the ears ordered by ship
pers all over the state. Unless th'
railroads are given such assistance
the car shortage may be as serious il
Montana as in the east.

ficient orders have been received t.

The property owners Of f street,

slider the matter Of paving that street
from Main 10 Tenth avenue. There
was no pronounced opposition to the
move but the possible working Of a
hardship against some Of the proper
ty owners was considered. Among
those who strongly favored the paw
ing, there was an expressed determi-
nation to investigate methods and
character Of paving, and a committee
composed Of Walter s. Gilbert, +. b.
Luke and Alexander was ap-
pointed to investigate and report
back as soon as possible.
A feature Of the meeting was the
harmony which prevailed, as those
who interposed objections and thought
the matter should be delayed, eX-
pressed their intention that, provided
the majority wanted it done, they
would all stand together and see that
it was done right.
