Russian Mobiles Sent to
Serbia Because They
Kept German Names

Petrograd, April S.-Premier Sturmer
is about to change his name. He will
adopt his wife's, Panin. Sturmer is a
German name; Panin is Russian. That s
why. Many Russian mobiles with Ger
man names have been sent to Siberia
because they refused to change them.
Ex-Procurator of the Holy Synod
Sabler recently made a similar change.
So did Councillor Of the Empire Med
hardt. So have many other Russian
dignataries, civil and military, who
bore German patronymics.
The anti-German wave throughout
Russia is not purely war sentiment.
The war just gave it chance to mani
fest itself. 1t is a popular reaction
against a German tutelage which has
lasted for generations and is generally
held to have been largely responsible
for the governments s severity.
1t is not known that pressure was
brought to bear on Sturmer, Sabler and
Neidhardt to change their names, but
this actually has been done i'll many
other cases and possibly, secretly, in
theirs. Barons Won Drummer, Stempel
and Won Renueukampf lost government
posts not long ago because they de-
clined to make the required change.
Baron Hahn and Count Fahlen, who
were marshals of nobility respectively
at Mitau and another Courland district
have been asked to resign their posi-
tions and leave for districts not in a
state of siege,
Baron Won Mirbach, marshal of no
bilitv at Dvinsk, Mayor Pfeiffer of the
same place, Count Kayserhng, BaronS
and Won Heyking, who held
high posts under the szar and many
other noblemen of the Baltic provinces
have actually been sent to Siberia for
the duration of the war.

PREACH SAFETY TO
MOTORISTS OF AMERICA
Automobile Manufacturers to
Enlist Cooperation Of Civic
Bodies in the Government

Few movements for the good Of the
general public have attained greater
national Importance and influence
than that Of the "safety first move
ment, which has been inaugurated by
various societies and organizations in
the last year. The slogan "safety
first" has become one of vital human
meaning and great work has been
done to reduce accidents and the
chance of accidents by the use Of this
slogan.
One of the most important move.
ments of this character which has
been started within the last year is
that of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, which com
prises practically every big autOmO.
bic manufacturing concern in the
country. In order to educate, not only
automobile owners, but pedestrians, as
to the rights of each, President Clifton
Of the chamber appointed a committee
to investigate the matter and make
recommendations to the national body.
This committee has been investigating
the matter for the purpose Of deyising
the best way to preach the "safety
first" or it might be called "courtesy
first" religion to general public.
Assistance Offered.
Various organizations have offered
to assist this committee in their work,
such as the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States; the Safety First
Federation of America, with head
quarters in New York; the National
Safety council, with headquarters in
Chicago; the Wolverine Automobile
club Of Detroit, and the Chicago Motor
club at Chicago. Frederick II. Elliott,
secretary of the Safety First Fedora
ton of America, and Charles NJ. Tai
bert, director of streets Of st. Louis,
and John Gillespie, commissioner of
police of Detroit, recently held con
ference with one of the committee in
Detroit. 1t was decided that the best
way for the manufacturers to aid in
the " safety first - movement would be
through the thousands of dealers
throughout the country, who could be
reached through the manufacturers
themselves by way of the National
Automobile Chamber of commerce.
Better Safety Measures.
Practically every automobile dealer
is an influential man in his own com
munity and with every dealer in each
city and town working for better safety
measures and aiding the recognized
city authorities in their work of curb
in gcareless pedestrians as well as
owners, the movement should make
great headway. The automobile COM
mittee will ask other organizations to
aid them in this work and will ask
dealers in various cities to lend their
assistance.
Practically every large city is now
forming committees appointed by either
the mayor or heads of the police de-
partments to aid them in correcting
careless driving. For instance in De-
troit, the home fthe automobile, a

safety in greater Detroit has been ap-
pointed to aid the city authorities. W..
d. Rockwell secretary of this organ

in organizing various subcommittee in

president of the Chicago Motor club and
of the city public safety commission, is

alt is true that the advent of the

this tremendous movement for safety

do not believe that it is responsible
for it entirely any more than to have

What Did You Mean

1t is not gallon when mentioned
by a Canadian in the United States.
1t is not a gallon when alluded to by |
citizen of the U. S. A., temporarily
in the Dominion.
This startling fact recently came to
light At the Maxwell headquarters in
Detroit, in the progress of an effort to
reconcile some performance of Maxwell |
cars in Canada with feats of record in
the states.
R. F. GirdwOOd, Montreal Maxwell |
distributor, was telling of Maxwell !
economy as demonstrated by ears m-
der his observation.
A Miles per Gallon!
'They often average around forty |
miles to the gallon of gasoline" d" he
declared. 81 have myself driven one
Of them on a trip where we mdOubted- |
ly scored better than A miles ON a run |
of more than 200. D."
The man to whom the statement was
made was bewildered. He know that !
authentic records existed of long trips
| in which Maxwells hal scored averages |
around 36 and 81 miles to the gallon.
Mr.. GirdwOOd's feats were however,
out of line, suggesting road conditions
or inflammability of atmosphere alto
gether unknown south of the Canadian |
border.
What do you mean by gallon Of
gasoline ?" he asked at random.
"Why, regular, imperial measure gal |
lon, of course, replied Girdwood
A great light dawned on the factory
man. Investigation disclosed that the !
English gallon, on sale in Canada, is !
almost 20 per cent larger than the gal
lon measure provided in the United
States, incidentally, it costs CORE
spondingly more.
With this data it was easily seen
that the Maxwell ears in Canada were
no more generous in thcnr yield of
miles to the gallon tnan ire the Man
wells on which record has been kept in
| the States.
Easy to Set Records.
Motorists who have toured in both
the United States and Canada will now
understand why their per gallon mile
age has been so much greater north of
the border. Those desiring to establish
economy records for their cars will also
be interested to know that in Canada it |
is perfectly easy to improve their best
U. S. A. performances. Similar cond- |
tiOns also hold true with regard to oil |
and its consumption.
Conversely, Canadian motorists who
make light Of supposedly meritoriOus /.

which they themselves can readily ex-
