BUFFALO, Jan. 2a.-After almost

The new machine emboIies so many
radical departures from former meth

Means Are Found For

When regulations are contemplated by
which the glare of automobile head

cipal considerations is to avoid work
ing hardship upon the hundreds OF
thousands OF motorists who are already
the possessors of a complete equipment.
The measures recommended are there

becomes important to know what is the

As proof of their argument they cite

can. Accustomed to the best workman

paid very high prices for his machines.
Now, however. with the production Of
luxury models in quantities of very
advanced design, such as the Oldsmobile
eight. he realizes that it will be to his
advantage to buy abroad rather than at
home.
Oldsmobile officials. through their ex-

Chronological Record of
 the Taylor Bridge

August. 1908: Steel span of 100 feet Tn length was erected by The El Paso Bridge and Iron Co.
 January, 1916: Bridge wrecked by reason of high water causing erosion and failure of east abut- ment. Exploration and sound ings of the river bed showed that this abutment had been bullded superficiaIly resting on or above seven feet of quick sand. Re construction necessitated sinking of four steel tubes to a solid base and then filled with concrete over which the supersurface con- crete abutment was erected. Western abutment remained in- tact resting upon secure and well preserved rock crib. This abutment was enlarged and raised by use of reinforced con- crete. Previous to this work.
 March, 1916: Invitation for bids for construction of abut- ments and the erection of the steel work 1.-two prOpOSalS) were published but no proposals were received which necessitated the commencement of work by day labor. Abutments were solidly constructed as above, and steel work temporarily repaired. Orders were placed for new parts to replace all damaged members. For the accommodation of the public the repaired steel work was placed in position awaiting the arrival of the new members ordered. Upon the arrival of these they will be inserted Tn posi- ton and the bridge will then be as strong, if not stronger than the original structure. Orders for the steel of months duration have not yet been filled owing to the market shortage.
 Original cost of steel span. $1800.00. Repairs for temporary work, $81. 52. New parts ordered, not billed.

SENATE VOTES
25O,OOO ARMY
Will Produce Total of 100000
Men; Instruction in Schools
Is Provided
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c., April 19.-The
army reorganization bill, passed by the
Senate last night, went to the House
to-day, where conference probably
will be asked for on the measure.
The bill is a substitute for the Hay
bill passed by the House and as finally
approved without a record vote would
produce regular army and reserve
forces in the United States aggregating
a million men.
The' bill differs radically from the
House measure. On that account it
was regarded as practically certain
that a conference would be asked and
that work of perfecting new army
measure would begin promptly.
An amendment making the armys s
peace strength 100000 instead of
10000, as provided in the bill as
framed by the military committee, was
21 Democrats voting for it. A pro-
posal to make the figure 10000 pre-
Viously had been rejected, &C to 13.
Reserve Planned From Schools
Another amendment adopted would
create a reserve regular army force
in time of war to be composed of
school and college youths, and to pro-
posed volunteer army force. The pro-
posal, submitted by Senator Hardwick,
was agreed to. Sc to.24.
Senator Hardwick's amendment pro-
viGes for military instruction by COM
missioned army officers under direc-
ton of the Secretary of War in every
school and college in the United States
having 100 or more male students over
IL years of age, when authorities of
such schools apply for such instruc-
ton and the requisite number of stu
dents agree to accept the training and
to become a part of the reserve force
of the army of the nation. Appli-
cation for the training would be purely
voluntary. but all students over IS
years old receiving training would be
subject to call to the colors by the
President in time of war or threatened
war during their training term.
Term of Enlistment Shortened
The Senate also agreed to an amend
ment reducing the proposed term of
enlistment in the regular army from
seven to five years, and the proposed
term with the colors from four to two,
thus giving each enlisted man three
years in the regular service.
An amendment by Senator Reed
prohibiting enlisted men from leaving
their posts to engage in any civil pur-
suit for hire or otherwise when II
would interfere with the employment
OF civilians was passed.
Upon motion of Senator Thomas an
amendment was adopted making it a
criminal offense for civilians with GER
tain exceptions to wear an army uni
form or to refuse admission to places
of public entertainment to enlisted
men in uniform. Another amendment
adopted would require adiutants gen.
eral of the National Guard to be resi-
dents of the State or Territory for
