OTHER CITIES Plan
TOSAVE OLD PAPERS
Washington Example in Inter-
esting School Children in
Project Finds Favor.

That other cities throughout the
United States will adopt the plan which
is to be tried In this city to have school
children collect old newspapers, seems
to be indicated by inquiries which are
being made of school officials and 9TH
ers here. Fredericksburg, Va, has sent
an inquiry to Ernest L. Thurston, super
intendent of public schools, asking him
for information concerning the plan
which was suggested by The Star.
whereby old papers are saved by the
children and sold for the beneht OF va
rious social activities.
Supt. Thurston will furnish the desir-
ed information in the near future. AL
Washington schools have not been com
pleted, the essential points have been
covered, and these are to be explained
to the Maryland city officials.
No Difficulty Anticipated.
Because of pressure Of organization
necessities the officials have not yet had
a chance to take up the details OF the
proposition, but it is explained no diff
culties will be experienced with these

day that no definite arrangements had
been considered as to what would be
done with the money thus raised, but
that it probably would be used to sup
plement that appropriated by Congress-
Through the use of the amount which
1t is believed may be made through the
collection and sale of old papers, In
conjunction with that already provided
by Congress, work on the Fairgrounds
may be greatly extended. It Is also re-
garded as probable that the money
raised will be divided into two parts,
one-half to go to a general fund and
the other half divided on pro rata
basis between the schools contribut-
ing the papers.
VIII Serve as Incentive.
II this plan be put into operation it
is quite likely to spur the children on
to even greater efforts than otherwise,
although they are already deeply inter-
ested and many are now at work col
lecting" Through the funds which the
individual schools may raise in this
manner they will be able to buy play
ground equipment, monographs or pos
sibly-if they are exceedingly indus
trious-even a motion picture machine.
At the same time the children will be
helping greatly to conserve the paper
supply and relieve the present shortage
Of print paper. With other cities inter-
ested in the movement, this conserva-
ton work will extend even farther and
bring about still greater results.

YOU'LL KNOW THE REAL
JOYS OF MOTORING
IN YOUR HAYNES

There is no use talking, when yoI
get that new Haynes of yours, you're
going right out into the country and
let those fresh breezes fan new life
into you. You'll wonder why you
never went before. Yes, and such an
eXhilarating sensation it will be to
push down on the foot throttle and
feel your Haynes push against your
back and glide right away so quickly.
Then when you come to that little
rickety bridge with the big bump
right at the foot of the steep hill
you'll slow up and creep over so slow
ly until the speedometer almost for
gets to register-one mile an hour
without shifting out of highland as
you start up you just cant resist the
temptation to push down on the
Nhrottle-you can't choke a Haynes
motor because it has a big. short
throat-and speed right over the top
at thirty miles per hour. You'll fin |
something different about the Haynes,
Americas greatest Light Six" 1t
is Just so responsive, so full of life
and snap that you can't help but
admire it from the first acquaintance.
You'll know what the real joys of
motoring are when you drive the
Haynes Light Six
It's a pleasure you can afford, too.
Just think, all during the past season,
the Haynes Light Six" has averaged
from IS to 90 miles to gallon of
gasoline, 1900 miles to the original
set of tires, and from 800 10 400 miles
to a quart of oil, and don't forget
that there are some mighty bad roads
figured in these averages, too. Not
only can you save on these items,
but you can take care of your Haynes
yourself. 1t is so simple.

The Golden CHASSIS.

Last October the Studebaker en-
gineering staff met with the eXecu'
tives Of the manufacturing and SELL
ing divisions to talk over the de-
signs for the Series II Studebaker
cars.
For nearly year they had been
working over the Studebaker chassis.
And for that years work they had to
show but three minor changes.
I'VE have made" they said, three
changes in the chassis: swung the
gas tank to the rear, devised a new
type OF universal joint and heightened
the pedals by inches. Otherwise
there is no change in the chassis it.
SELF There were none to make. We
might have gone through the motions
of making many changes. But why?
This chassis is as it stands is as
close 10 perfection as engineering
practice of today can make it.
How can we show this Studebaker
difference to the buyer?" asked the
director of sales.
Finish a chassis in gold" was the
reply. THE gold finish will show the
simplicity of our design, the accuracy
of detail. the refinement of manufac-
ture that we have striyen fOr-show
it as nothing else ever will
And so we did it.
We took a Studebaker chassis from
the regular days run in the factories
"a stock chassis, mind yOu-not one
that had been especially designed for
exhibition. And we had it entirely
finished IN gold.
And this gold chassis has become
the sensation OF the auto shows.
Nearly 5000 parts had to be finished
in gold. More than $50 ounces or
pure gold were used.
Only one Arm in the country had
the facilities to undertake the job, AMI
even this firm, Yale & Towne, OF
Stamford, Conn, had to arrange for
special 15-foot vats and other equip
ment.
And the gold chassis as it stands
is valued at more than s25,OOO.
But Studebaker went to this great
expense. spent the little fortune that
this gold chassis represents, simply
because the golden finish enables us
to show in the most convincing man.

It displays, as we can in no other

You can climb hills on high, with turns 50
sharp that the car must be slowed down,
without touching the gear shift lever.
At all speeds and under all conditions, you
get in the Haynes a smooth flow of power.
You really control the car with the foot throt-
tie.
Not only is the Haynes motor a high speed
motor, but it develops that wonderful pulling
power, that ability to hang on at the lower
speeds-and that is fleXibility!

BELGIAN HIT AND
KILLED BY TRAIN
Fails to See Train as 1t
SWoOpS Down Upon
Him.

p. Bracguez, 90 years old, a Bel
gian laborer. was struck and instant
ly killed by an eastbound Lake
Shore passenger train at the Wells
st. crossing Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock.
In company with two companions,
who refused to give their names,
Bracquez was going north across
the tracks and evidently did not hear
the approaching train or the calls
of his comrades, as he stepped di-
rectly on the track in the path Of
the speeding locomotive. The watch
man at the corner tried TO warn the
man. who failed TO see his motions.
His body was hurled more than
80 feet down the tracks, the head
striking the rails of another track
two or three times and MASKING It
into a pulp. His companions turn
ed their heads as they saw the en-
CINE strike their comrade.
Belgian residents knew the man
only as "P," but a pay envelope Of
found in his pocket which gave the
name L. BTdCBueZ, ana the CneCk,
or clock number, 1917.
Bracguez boarded at Ills S. Main
St, and had been in Mishawaka
about seven months. He is unmar-
ried as far as is known and has no
relatives in this country. He came
to the United STAGES about % years
ago
Coroner T. J. Swantz was called
from South Bend and examined the
body. which was taken to the Finch
and Sprague morgue.
A watch Of foreign make and sew
eral small articles were found in the
mans pockets. His hat was found
in the center of the track a few feet
from the body. His lunch pail, bad
ly battered but with a coffee bottle
unbroken. was found about 80 feet
from the body. The mans shoes
were lying some distance away from
the body, evidently torn from his
feet by the blow. The watch was
still running when the body was ex-
amined by PatrOlmen Turbush and

FIGHTING FOR NOTHING
SAYS SUPT. DIV. HORTON
EduCationaIiSt Says War is
Without Adequate or
Legitimate Cause.

The United States mas no course

ness in the present crisis. The Unit
ed States is not prepared: the Unit
ed States must be prepared to back
up its demands" So said D. w.
Horton. superintendent-ele Of the
Mishawaka public schools, to a
meeting Of the Mems Brotherhood
Of the Methodist Memorial church.
held Tuesday night.
The war is not a war OF ruling
houses, a religious war, war for
commerce. a war for territory, or a
war for freedom. but a war with
out an adequate or legitimate cause.
It is a war precipitated upon the
world by two rulers very largely.
II would, therefore. be a splendid
thing for civilization If the war
would end in the trenches; the
trenches should come % see that
they are lighting for nothing
Continuing. Nr. Horton, whose
subject was What Is Going on in
the World" said civilization had
travelled westward since the world
began, and democracy started in the
west and had pressed eastward hard
against the thrones OF Europe. 1t
was probable that II would continue
its progress eastward after the war.
and that two or three OF the ma
lions HOW at war would become
more democratic after IL was over.
That the conflict was touched of by
the rulers and princes OF Europe.
vas demonstrated by the fact that
none Of the things that were thought
to be able TO prevent war could pre-
vent this greatest OF all wars, name
". science. letters, commerce, re-
ligion. and treaties for arbitration.
The fact is also carried out that the
rulers and aristocracy of several Of
the nations are divided from the
people on their sympathies about
the war.
The people Of this country are
coming to be in favor OF prepared
ness. 1t is advocated very widely
in the last year OF the schools and
would be followed by six months
in actual camp for instruction in
the use of arms and military ma
peuvers.
A discussion on the boy scouts
movement followed in which Rev.
Or. Edwards and Messrs. Leslie and
Middleton took part. The purpose
and ideals OF the organization and
the fact that it was not military
one. was emphasized by the speak
ers. The brotherhood passed a reso-
luton in favor Of encouraging and
supporting the boys in this work.
