French Cars 10 Resemble Americas.

Paris.-The necessary revolution in
the construction of automobiles in
France after the war" says a compe-
tent authority on the motor-car bust
ness. will involve an imitation of the
American moderate priced car By the
time hostilities have ceased all the
requisitioned cars he says, will be
ready for either the scrap heap or the
bargain counter. All those who mo-
tored before the war and the thou
sands of soldiers and officers who have
learned 10 drive since, must buy anew
if they want serviceable cars Their
purses will be lighter and their living
expenses heavier, so they will natur-
ally want to go light on Injuries The
popular car will sell at from 5000 TO
5000 francs.
THE American constructors have
studied the cost of turning out car
more closely than the French, who
have aimed first rather to perfection
and only seCondarily at lowest con-
sistent cost. The Americans, however,
seem TO have arrived at low costs in
many points without affecting the run
ming qualities of their cars or their
wearing properties. For instance.
wheel hubs OF French machines are
made OF bronze, cast, countersunk and
turned; they weight from two to four
pounds, and cost from four to seven
francs. The same hub on an Ameri-
can machine is made of brass and is
stamped; weighs about a third of a
pound and costs one franc, twenty-five
confines; ii is quite as serviceable as
the French huh,

Spanish War Veterans, is the aim of
members of that organization. Plans
for a membership campaign to be con-
Quoted next month were made last
evening at the meeting of the camp
and women's auxiliary. Every mem
Der bring one application" is the slo-
gan of the campaign, which is .ex-
pected TO be the biggest member-get-
ting effort sponsored by Ike organ
izatiOn for some time.
Separate markers are to be placed
on the graves of all Spanish-American
war veterans according to decision
reached last evening. A committee of
two-Emil Freeman from the navy
and George f. Gibbs from the army
was appointed to have charge. Two
new members were taken in last
evening and several applications were
read, after which members of the
women's auxiliary served refresh
ments.
Edward kittilsen camp will partici-
pate in the July parade and plans
for this came up for discussion. A
float will be entered and a marching
aggregation will also participate, in
all probability.

NEW terminals
TOCOST MILLIONS
Is Believed $66.O00,O0O Will Have Been
Spent When Railroad Depots in
Chicago Are Complete.

Chicago-The sum of $66,000000
will have been expended by several Of
the great railroads operating in the
Chicago district when the new freight
and passenger terminals now under
construction are completed. The
freight terminal will be finished in
about six more months, but it will
.stake nearly three years to complete
The passenger terminal
The freight terminal will embrace
laying of trackage on stretch COW
ering II city blocks. from the Chicago
river south to Twelfth street. The
plans for the terminal were so ar
ranged as to give maximum speed
and convenience of handling freight
with a minimum Of ground space nee
essary for the buildings involved. The
work is being done by the Pennsylva-
MIA lines, west, and will cost, for land
acquired. building material and labor,
approximately $16,000,000, and the fin
ished work will be one of the greatest
accomplishments Of its kind in the his
tory of modern railroads.
The main aim of the builders was a
terminal that would be so arranged as
TO eliminate street congestion in hand
ling traffic and would make speedy and
easy the handling of the enormous and
steadily growing freight business of
Chicago. This result will be accom-
plished by close grouping of the sew
eral parts of the terminal structure
and by placing the railroad tracks be-
low street level, with the freight house
just above the tracks, at street level
and with a storage warehouse above
the freight house. The idea of placing

ing for about ten months, some laying
the heavy piling and concrete founda-

This will be in about six months and
the total cost of labor, by that time
will. it is estimated, amount to about
S1500,000
The steel, brick, concrete, piling and
terra Gotta that will go into the build
ings will cost about $2,500.000.
The structures will occupy a ground
space of $50 by $50 feet between Polk
street on the north and Taylor stree;
on the south between the Chicago
river and what was once Stewart ave-
nue. Acquisition of the ground thus
used cost the railroad company $12,-
100000.

which preparatory work has begun
and which will be completed in about
three years. will cost about S50.000,001
and will be the finest railway passen-

say. 1t will be built and occupied by
