THE OLD CAR

The present prospect in the motor
industry is that many producers win
stop turning out pleasure cars during
the war. Airplane and other war
work will absorb their energies A
reduced output Of pleasure cars
seems altogether probable, with fewer
changes in models. New cars may be-.
come hard to get and are likely to in
crease in price. Under these condi-
lions lot Of people that have bought
new automobile every year or two will
think twice about it now.s
Public sentiment never condemned
the man of wealth who wished to use
his money In this way. At least he
makes work for other people, and a
lot Of purchaser are enabled to buy
high grade used cars for but low
price.
Before automobile days, people of
wealth used to have their costly horse
flesh and carriages. Once this ex-
pensive equipment was provided, it
was good for a period Of years. But
the coming Of the automobile motor
with its frequent changes and constant
addition of new features, Is a constant
temptation to expense. The rapidly
developing engine as been the most
fascinating kind of toy the genius
Of man ever invented. To a man in
terested in mechanical perfection It
was like a big pink face Paris doll to
| ten year old girl.
The new car might have every con-
ceivable device known at that time,

BARBARA OF ERNECoURT

Barbara Of Ernecourt. better known
as the Lady Of st. Balmont, second
Joan of Arc, was born in, the year
1909, at the castle Of MELVILLE, be-
tween the Bar and Verdun. From
the earliest childhood she trained
herself to the use Of arms and in all
knightfy eomplishments. She mar
ried when quite young the lord of
Ba1mont, who. met and fell in love
with her while hunting, and whom
she frequently accompanied in the
chase. During the thirty years. war
in Germany she. always took command
OF her husbands castle, while he ac-
companied the Duke of Lothrengein
to the field. This brave woman re-
pulsed the enemy frequently, and on
several occasions made sorties and
succeeded in capturing both men and
baggage. When peace was declared
she laid aside her sword and took up
the pen, which she welded with equal
skill. The death of her husband
made her resolve to retire from the
world and she entered a nunnery but
died before taking the veil, May 20,
1860, aged fifty-one.

only twenty-five when he was initiated

URGES DECLARATION
OF ALLIED WAR AIMS.

Paris, Dec. 81 am authorized by
Italian Finance Minister Nitti, whose
clear-sighted understanding Of the
present European situation made a
Great impression at the Interallied
Conference, to give his opinion re-
garding the Lord Iansdowne letter.
The Minister said:
Generally speaking, consider the
letter regrettables especially as it en-
anates from a statesman so highly
placed and highly esteemed as Lord
Lansdowne. Let me say right from
the outset that any line of reasoning,
however sincere 1t may be or may
appear, that may tend to weaken the
combative will Of the Allies at this
juncture strikes me not only as very
ill-advised but as extremely danger
Gus. If it Is not itself 'defeatist' in
origin or character, it at least gives
a basis on which defeatist arguments
may be built.
I'm Italy we now know the dan
ger of that, and rallying from dis
aster to which such theories contrib
uted. we are absolutely determined
that the only way to a real lasting
peace is through victory.
'I believe France and the other Al
lies now realize that they are one
with Italy, the Naly's defeat is tho.rs
and Italy's victory theirs also. This
unity is, above all, based on a united
| conviction that any compromise peace
is impossible.
"At the same time, I admit that
Lord Lansdowne's suggestion about
possible revision of allied. war aims
does not strike me unfavorably. Too
much harm has been done to the En-
tente cause already by imperialist or
| self-centred war aims OF individual
| countries, or at least by mutual fear
| that such aims may be mutually con-
| ficting. What I learn in America
makes me sure that your President
and people are not in this war to sup
| port individual imperialism.
st do Lot mean to say that such
imperialism exists, but all the same
cannot help being in agreement with
Lord Lansdowne on this one point
that it would be desirable to make q
frank, unanimous declaration of al.
lied war aims, perhaps not entirely
specific, but at least definite enough
to show that no ideas Of selfish con.
quest or ACKNOWLEDGMENT are enter.
tanned by any Of U.s. Such a declara.
ton could do no harm, and would be
proof of our complete unity of pur.
pose and action"

Of Morris, who are In Chicago attend

is chairman Of the recently created

that information Of the recent unusual
activity among live stock raisers in
Connecticut, and others who would
like to raise beef cattle, had preceded
them to Chicago and they received
numerous inquiries from representa-
tives from other states as to how the
new interest was thoroughly aroused.
Major Russell who is at the Black

that he and Commissioner Whittlesey

from Connecticut, either by wire or

even while Major Russelps motor was
waiting to take him to the train, he
received four telephone orders for
purchases Of cattle while he was in
Chicago. He stopped at the Hartford
office Of the Food Administration on
the way to Springfield and there
found several other orders for pur-
chases Of pigs. At that time Major
Russell said: Some Connecticut farm
ers seem to be alive to the desperate
cattle situation, which has hit Connec-
ticut and are grasping the opportunity
to avail themselves Of this unusual
chance to make Western purchases by

orders.
Irving G. Davis of Storrs, State
Leader Of County Agents, has notified
all his county representatives that Ma
jor Russell and his party are at the
Blackstone this week, ready to pur-
chase calves. yearlings. sheep and
pigs. Mr.. Davis is also considering
the suggestion that a sort of calf and
pig exchange or registry be establish
ed in Connecticut SO that farmers who
want calves or pigs can get them read
| fly. It is believed that II every far
mer who has calf would advise the
County Farm Bureau, the calf could
be kept for beef or breeding whenever
there is a chance and the states live
stock supply be thus increased. Farm
ers who want calves but don't know
where to apply for them could then
be cared for to the advantage of both

BOIL WEEVIL IN
LAGUNA DISTRICT

Mexico City, Dec. 6-Much alarm
has been caused by the appearance
Of the boil worm and the boil weevil
in the Laguna district near Torreon,
Coahuila, where, it Is stated, that the
cotton production has suffered seri-
ously, or to the extent Of IS per cent.
The whole cotton region was recently
inspected by August Busck. of the
Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington, who found that only the La
guna district was affected, and ad-
vised the government that the only
effectiye method which has given the
desired results was not to plant cot
ton in the affected district for at least
two years, and If possible for three
years He stated that he was sure
that the worm had been imported
from Egypt when the last shipment
Of seed came from that country for
use in Mexico.
Mr.. Busck also advised that the
remaining seed either be funigated
or destroyed to avoid further infec-
ton in other districts, and that for
three years, the soil in the affected
district could be used ) to planting
corn. wheat and other cereals.
Pastor Rouaix, Minister Of Agricui-
ture, has issued a circular advising
the farmers. around Torreon to diver
sify their crops and avoid a more SER
ious outcome of the present situation.

CHRISTIANE flicker.

Christiane Flicker, the inventor of
the tambou-needle, was the daughter
Of Mr.. Nier. the comptroller Of the
mines in Eibenstock, saxony. She
was born Nov. Il, 1869. She was led
to the invention by her love for en-
broidery, and the desire to trace
raised figures, by means Of thread
and needle upon the cloth. The in
vention has been of great use to the
poor women of Saxony, tow hom it
became a fruitful source of employ
