PLOT TO KILL RAsPUTIN.
Said to Have Caused Resignation
of Russian Minister.

London, April 2s-The Russkia Vie
domosti, Moscow paper, prints an ar
ticle stating that the reason for the resig-
nation of NJ. Khvoston, the former min
lster OF the interior. was that he was
involved in a scheme to remove man,
who is, the paper intimates, the monk
Rasputin. whose great influence in Rus
sian politics is well known.
The paper states that a journalist
named Rjevsky was dispatched by the
minister of the interior to Christiania,
where resides the monk Iliodorus, who a
few years ago occupied a position similar
to that now held by Rasputin in Russian n
AFFAIRS. 1t is stated that this monk
agreed to get FIVE OF his men to remove
Rasputin. whom he regarded as his worst
enemy.
In the meantime. however a search OF
Rjevskys house by the Russian authori-
ties, who had become suspicious OF the
journalist on account OF his luxurious
manner of life. revealed a letter concern
ing the affair from NJ. Khvostoff a check
for 5000 rubles. and FIVE Tevolvers. The
journalist was arrested, confessed. and
was sentenced to three years in Siberia

R McReynolds and Sons have just COM
pleted the third lot of motor trailer am
balances for use in the government hos
pital service These trailers, each one of
which is capable of carrying four in
jured men, will be shipped at once to the
Mexican border.
Automobile thieves are again at work
in Washington. During the past month
quite a number of cars have been re
ported missing. One youth was appre-
hended who admitted that he was in the
habit of taking a Washington car. driving
it TO Baltimore and then abandoning IT.
He then would steal a car in the Monu-
mental City and head toward Washing
ton in it. The catching of the culprits
seems to be beyond the ability of the
local police force. A motor car is a rather
expensive piece OF property to have some
one come along and walk off with. People
who own cars cannot always conveniently
garage them when either business or
pleasure requires that they leave them
for few minutes. Some have adopted
the expedient of locking them, but the
thieves are evidently experienced in the
operation Of cars. for they find a way
to overcome this obstacle as was illu-
strated in the case of ]. ]. Haas, whose
machine was stolen last week.
A year ago when the six versus eight
argument was at it's height when the
twelve was about to make its bow to
the public and cylinders were the main
topic of engineering conversation, there
were many who expressed the view that
all the discussion would serve to draw
attention to the advantages of the four.
The highly successful meeting of the
Metropolitan section of the S. A. +.
last week, at which the future of the
four was the topic Of the evening, proves
that interest in the four is reawakening.
1t means something more than the
swing of the pendulum. Probably it
marks the first step in the commence
ment of the endeavor to reduce the cost
of operating an automobile, which ap-
pears to be one of the most important
| problems now facing engineers.
1t is agreed that the demand for large,
| heavy cars will be limited in the future,
and that the highly efficient. light ma
| chine is the coming type. Such a car
may prove to be most easily made with
any number of cylinders, but undoubted-
| " the four shows to better advantage
as the total size of the engine is re-
duced.
There is a very general feeling that
a small four with the highest possible
class of internal and external finish
would command a good price and sell in
considerable quantities. 1t may be either
| right or wrong, but while it lasts interest
( in the four will continue.

DANISH LABOR FOR ENGLAND.
Men May Bee Imported TO Work as

London. April "a plan to employ
Danish labor on British farm lands has
been announced by the board Of agricul-
ture.
It is stated that the Central Labor
Exchange Department of the board Of
trade will try to obtain the farm hands
to work in agricultural districts in Eng
land and Wales, which are outside the
prohibited areas. farmers wishing to
procure these men must promise them
employment for not less than a year.

Manufacturers See Error In
Premature Cutting Of Prices
Because of Materials Cost.
SCARCITY DUE TO WAR
Huge Contracts for Munitions Upset
Old Order of Business-Steel Plants
Ignore Auto Manufacturer.

It seems to be the consensus Of opinion
among motor car manufacturers that a
mistake was made in dropping the price
this year At the time the plans for the
1916 automobile selling season were formu-
lated the European war had not drawn
so heavily on the resources OF the Ameri-
can manufacturers. The price Of mate
rial was not expected to advance to the
extent 1t has. nor was there the scarcity.
American steel plants were glad to accept
orders at prices which today would not
receive the courtesy of a reply II sought
Today every factory in the country is
busy twenty-four hours a day turning out
war munitions in one form or another
Contracts made two years or eighteen
months ago for supplies have been either
broken or filed in such a manner that
the auto manufacturer has been glad to
tear them up and make new ones
Manufacturing in large quantities with
a view to decreasing cost per unit is d
practice which has been followed to q
greater extent in this country than any
where else in the world and is the secret
Of the success of many great manufac-
turing plants in this country. II is now
possible for eNsmple, to purchase for
THOUSAND dollars a machine which is
quite the equal in nearly ever II not
all particulars to a machine costing four
10 five times that sum eight or ten years
ago. and which. in many particulars, IS
far superior TO the older product
The attractive prices offered by a
manufacturer who has an enormous out
put OF a single chassis has forced the
smaller manufacture to purchase his
parts largely from the parts makers who.
in turn. have concentrated on a few de
signs and with their great total orders
have been able TO bring the price very
low. Competition between those build
ing assembled cars and those manufac-
turing the complete car has therefore
been greatly stimulated
Standardization has been Of great bcue-

toned above as one of the factors con.
tTibuting to decreased cost This simplih
cation is not only evident in the casting
OF the cylinders. manifolds and upper
half of the crank case in one piece, but
is seen also in a considerable reduction
in the number of small parts, such, fol
example, as control connections and bolts
for fastening together parts now made
all in one piece.
The use Of the so-called silent chair
for driving the timing gears on the motor
has been worthy of note for at least three
years past, and this year has seen con

Boy Scouts Notes.

Last Monday the merit badge test
for cycling was given by Deputy Com
missioner Taylor to a small class
( only three out OF ten appearing for
/ the examination The ffty-mile run
was over a new route, from Washing
ton to Gaithersburg over the Rockville
pike. The scouts who qualifed for the
run were Renwick McIver and William
Hoeke, both of Troop I, and Perry
COlman. OF Troop IS.
On arriving back in Washington it
was found that it would be necessary
to cover some seven more miles to
make up the required fifty miles, so
without dsmounting the scouts rode
out to Chain Bridge and back This
test will not be given for the next
two months. While on the road they
were Joined at Rockville by two men,
hCrs Of Troop IS, who were bound for
Frederick and Harpers Ferry.
On Easter Monday Troop took
hike to Fort Foote. Md, where sew
eral of the boys took their second

troop inspected the ruins of the fort,
/ and afterwards "A game of baseball
