New York. April 29.-TweIve years
ago. ten men representing the various
theatrical enterprises in New York
met in the back room of Brownies chop
house and organized the Press Agents
Association. the initial purpose of
which was to identify and circumvent
the free pass frauds who persistently,
and by means Of many ingenious de-
vices, endeavored to secure Compli
mentary admission to the New York
theateTs.
The men were Wells Hawks, Charles
Emerson Cook, John w. Rumsey,
Claiming Pollock, Philip Mindil. Ma
son Peters, Burton Emmett, William
Raymond Sill. Harry c. SChwab. and
John s. Flaherty. Pollock was elected
president; Rumsey, treasurer. and
Flaherty. secretary.
Meetings were held each Friday and
froI reports received a black list was
kept giving the names of those fraud
ulentIy soliciting favOrs from the New
York theaters. Through this instru-
mentality the practice was 50 effect
ualIy combatted that the purpose of
the organization seemed to have been
fulfIled and the interest began to
wane, but at a psychological moment
in 1906, couple of enthusiastic mem
hers called a meeting. in Keene's Chop
House, of all press agents throughout
the country, and tnereat the scope Of the
organization was enlarged.
Shortly after this began the long
series of dinners to noted men. prin-
cipally in the theatrical profession, for
which the club has become justly IA
nous, and the only formidable rivals
to the dinners of the Gridiron Club of
this city.
Fitch Was First Guest.
The first guest of honor was CIvde
Fitch and the dinner was held at the
Cafe des Beaux Arts, which for a time
became the meeting place of the or
ganization, and where Frederick F.
Schrader. a Washington newspaper
man. modestly suggested the name
''Friars" as more euphonious and eN-
pressive than the old title-a sugges-
ton adopted with alaCrity and Unan-
unity.
Then followed dinners to Marc Klaw.
Henry NIilIar. and Victor Herbert It
was at the last named dinner that
the now famous "Friars Sons" with
words by Charles Emerson Cook and
music by Victor Herbert, was heard
for the first time.
In 1907 the club, with barely 100
members, was incorporated, a new con-
stitution adopted. and the organiza-
tion reconstructed on entirely new
lines, with Wells Hawks as abbot,
! Charles Emerson Cook as dean. Philip
Mndil, as corresponding secretary,
Clinton V. Mofett, recording secretary,
John W. Rumsey treasurer. and a board
Of governors consisting of Harry G.
Sommers. w. G. Smyth, Bruce Ed
wards, Wallace Munro, Marcus H.
Mayer, a. Token Worm, Willard D.
Coxey. W. NJ. Hull. George W. Sam
mis-. and Frank c. Payne.
Friars Have Come to Stay.
In May. 1908. the present club house
in Forty-ffth street was occupied with
much ceremony and anticipations, but
the best laid schemes O. men and
mice gang aft agley." so on October
3, 1909, the club faced an Indebtedness

the conservative manipulating of club
finances on June 3, 1910. just eight
months later. the entire inde btedness
was liquidated with a balance to the
clubs credit of $4,000, an achievement
without precedent in the history of
New York clubs.
"The Friars'' has come to stay, it's,

constantly increasing. 1t has given five

RECKLESS MOTORISTS
ARE ON DECREASE
M. A. Bayis, of Record Auto Com
pany, Says Safety First Sentiment
Among Autoists Is Growing.

How rapidly the reckless motorist is
dropping from the ranks and the same
driver is taking. his place." said NJ A.
Baylis. OF the Record Auto Company,
who has the distribution of Saxon motor
cars in this district. And the peculiar
thing about it is that legislation has
played only small part in the matter.
Motor manufacturers are looking to
the safety-first idea themselves, for they
realize that 1t is good business as well
as ordinary humanity. | am a disciple
of the school of sane driving. and yet l
may say that 1 am not a slow driver
"A snail pace does not insure careful
driving and that is one reason why the
legislation of a speed limit regulation
cannot in itself lower the percentage Of
tecklessness. Observance of the courte-
sizes of the road and of caution where
caution is due make for careful driving.
THE motorist can drive rapidly IL he
knows when to slow up and IL he can
slow up rapidly when he wants to. The
latter ability lies within the car alone
Only the motor car which can be throt-
tied down with speed and which picks
up rapidly when accelerated is capable
of rapid yet cautious driving
In congested traffic, can always pull
ahead when advisable and gain time with
my Saxon. The reason is because the
motor responds to the slightest pressure
on the accelerator. can stop rapidly
thanks to the good brakes, and ! can
move slowly-not by starts and jerks
because my car will throttle down to a
snaiI's pace and still run smoothly on
high gear.
Frequently. in making a trip through
heavy traffic, l never shift my gear at
all, but simply guide the speed by the
accelerator. This gives me both hands
for steering and makes posslbel careful
turns. Best of all, am never uncertain
about my car. I know just what II will
do and know that it will never vary"

Our buildings covering IS acres
were designed by him. He has equipped
them with 2092 time-saving machines of
the most efficient sort.
In this model plant-where every
second is saved-we build % per cent of
this New Mitchell car. We build il for
half what it would have cost in our factory
of 1910. We build it for 20 per cent less,
we believe, than any other factory could
build like car.
Those are the reasons for these 26 ex.
tras. They are due to John W. Bate. Any
man who sees them will have new respect
for factory efficiency, carried to the far
thest limit.
Come, let US show them 10 you.

Mexican History Repeating Itself

1t is no easy task that confrouts the
American army in Mexico. Each new
day is fraught with peril II any group
OF C2rranzistas should suddenly deter
mine to oppose the American troops and
a sharp engagement resulted, Mexico as
we'll as the United States would soon be
aname. Considering the possibilities
therefore. it is well to look back and
see what happened when the United
states actually went to war with Mex
leo in 1S45. The cause of the war was
the annexation of Texas and the dis
pute over the boundary line. There
were a number of preliminary skir-
mishes on the border and the original
attack was made from that point by
Gen. Zachary Taylor. who was after
wards President Warfare along the
border and in the northern end of Mex
leo continued for nearly two years be-
fore the United States army began its
real campaign from the logical point
Of attack at Vera Cruz. it took Gen.
Winfield Scott about six months to
march from Vera Cruz to Mexico City
lie fought two battles against over
whelming odds. and each time, after
severe losses on both sides, was vic
torious. The MeXiCans then, however
had an army that was unframed in
war. Today they have five times as
large a population and ten times as
large a body OF fighting men. 1t would
be very simple matter, If the Mexican
factions united against a foreign enc
my. to put 100000 troops in the field
They would have the advantage Of
knowing their own country. with it's
facilities for ambush and retreat into
the mountains, and it's adaptability to
guerilla warfare. 1t would take more
than two years probably to conquer
Mexico this time. and the march from
Vera Cruz to Mexico City with the
small army the United States now has,
would probably take more than six
months.-ThOmas F. Logan, in Leslie's.

The Best-Liked Ideas

Some new ideas were fzzles.
Some were immensely attractive.
On each one our experts secured
the motorists verdict.
They picked out the lines which
were voted the handsomest. They
chose the new features which men
and women liked best. Then they
completed this new model to come
out in the spring, and combine
every last-minute feature in body
and equipment.
This never was done before.
This New Mitchell, therefore, is
show in itself. 1t shows all the

30-Year Service

The Mitchell, we believe, holds the
record for service. Six Mitchell cars that
we know Of have averaged 164, ,372 miles
each. That means over 80 years of ordi-
nary service. And all are running daily.
The Mitchell is distinguished as being
the choice of the ablest engineers. Wehave
long list to send-on request-of great
engineers who have chosen the Mitchell.
The Mitchell is long, roomy, impress
sive. Its wheelbasc is l27 inches. 1t has
a power tire pump, reversible headlights,
ball-bearing steering gear, gasoline
primer on instrument board, and many
other features which make this car a favor
ite with men.

26 Extra Features
Because John w. Bate Saves Us 2O%

The New Mitchell has 26 extra features
things you want in car-which other
cars don't offer.
Most of these are exclusive to Mitchell.
And no car at any price has more than
four of them.
We invite you to see these extras.
Judge for yourself what each one means.
Judge how much you would miss it. When
you see 26 of them in a single car, we think
you will want that car.

Each great designer, every sea-
son, contributes new ideas to cars.
The Mitchell designers contribute
their share.
At the New York Shown jan
uary-all these new ideas appear.
No one car has all of them. One
designer has excelled in one fea-
ture, one in another. The ideal
car of the season would be a COM
posite car. And that's what we
offer in this new-model Mitchell.

AROOSTOOk POTATOES.

Potatoes were 1921 for the highest
figure on Friday, and So. 10 on Saturday.
although the standard price each day
was considerably below these figures.
At the East Road, in nortnern Fort Fair
field, Friday, So straight was paid for
two lots of 420 barrels each. The stand
ard price here this week has been So,
although a little more than that is fire.
quently reported They are coming in
fairly well now, but with no great rush.
OF course most of the stock is Green
Mountains, but there are few Cob
blers left yet, for which 81 rs can be
got. Bliss are extremely scarce, and are
said to be worth So 25, or more. One
Fort Fairfield dealer has 5000 barrels,
which he is holding for S4. Requests
for seed for southern planting are now
very frequent. only a fraction of the re-
CURED seed for the south having yet
been bought. Every indication points
to higher prices for any kind of good
stock. We have visions of farmers,
both large and small, hunting next
spring for seed potatoes, having sold
themselves short, and being obliged to
pay pretty nearly SIS for good stuff for
planting. The way the potatoes are
keeping is remarkable, according TO all
reports. hardly any rot or shrink being
discoverable. - Fort Fairfield Review,
Jan. 18th.

WAR HITS FERTILIZER.

Sec. of'Agriculture Houston has issued a
detailed statement on the outlook for fer
tilizers, due to the war, having mainly
to do with the fact that Germany has a
virtual monopoly of the production of
potash. The rest of the world is left in
bad way, particularly agriculture, as
what potash is available is largely used
in the manufacture of munitions.
His suggestions are in line with show
ing alternative sources of supply. There
are four available in this country. be
says: the giant kelp of the Pacific Coast;
alunite deposits in Utah; feldspathic
rocks in the East; the mud of SearIes
Lake, Calf. There are handicaps on
all, though the kelp source is believed to
be the best. The California law on leas-
ing is the chief difficulty, manufacturers
not being assured control OF the field
from which the kelp is gathered.
Potash can be made from feldspar, but
it is costly process. Experiments are
being made on the alunite. There are
some technical difficulties in dealing with
Searles Lake mud that have not been
overcome. The department is announced
as working on these problems.
Another fertilizer difficulty has cropped
out in the phosphate industry. owing to
the high price of sulphuric acid, which
is prime necessity in the manufacture
of munitions and also Indispensable in
the making of phosphate fertilizer. The
price of the acid has jumped from SIS to
S25 a ton. The bureau of soils is eX-
perimentlng on phosphoric acid as sub
stltute for sulphuric.
