Cole Production
(. Is Increased and
Car is Improved

In addition to increasing the pro-
duction Of the Cole Motor Car COM
pany from 5000 to 10000 cars for
1917, A. F. Knobioch, general man
ager Of the Cole concern, has left no
stone unturned in adding to the quail
ity Of the product. An analysis Of
the Cole product shows that it en-
bodies the recognized best units avail
able.
"As a result OF the careful study
and experimentation which has been
carried on the Cole Eight motor has
been brought to a state Of perfection
that precludes trouble" says Mr..
Knobloch. 1T is model Of sim
plicity and accessibility. Its carbur-
ization system is recognized as the
best so far in multiple cylinder de-
signing. Its fabrication system is
absolutely positive. The Cole Eight
chassis has been mentioned as the
best example of careful designing in
the V-type multiple cylinder Id.
And with the Cole company concen-
trating all of its attention to the pro-
duction of this one chassis, it is des-
tined to be brought even to a higher
level.
"A definite policy has been laid
down by the Cole not to change
models spasmodically. 1t Is going to
continue to build its present model
indefinitely. Into its construction
will be brought the improvements
best known to the industry in the way
Of minor details and refnements as
they are proved practicable from time
to time. But in its fundamentals the
Cole Eight will remain the same. An
assurance of this kind means much
to the buyer of motor cars"

Traffic to America and France

FINLAND ARRIVES SAFELY

New York, Feb. 28.-Reports that
passenger traffic on all British ves-
sells leaving England for America and
France has been suspended were
brought here today by passengers
who arrived on the steamer Finland,
the last American line boat to leave
Liverpool and the third unit Of this
feet to sail from that port after Ger
many's proclamation of unrestricted
submarine warfare.
James F. Egan of Philadelphia and
Robert Wilson of New York, Euro
pean representatives of large Ameri-
can business interests, said that be-
fore leaving England they had been
informed on what they considered re-
liable authority that the British adj
miralty had decided to employ all
vessels, passenger carriers as well as
freighters, solely for transporting sup
plies or moving troops.
May Maroon Americans.
Scandinavian and Dutch passenger
ships to America no longer stop at
British ports, but avoid sthe subma-
rine zone by making Halifax their
port of call. Consequently, if the re-
ports of the Finland's passengers is
correct, no passengers can now reach
the United States from England un-
less American liners sail from this
country to fetch them.

CAR SITUATION IS
STILL UP IN THE AIR
Union Pacific Has $500
Loaded Cars at Ogden Billed
to Eastern Points.
FRUIT TRAINS RUN ON TIME

While officials of railroads operat-
ing to the east assert that under the
agreement entered into by the presi-
dents OF the lines, acting in conjunc-
ton with the Interstate Commerce
commission, there is something OF a
break in the freight car congestion,
there is no evidence apparent to in
dictate that available empty cars are
more numerous than a week ago.
However, the railroad freight men
cling to the belief that the car short
age is. in way to adjust itself and
that within month or so the ex-
pected relief will be at hand.
The Union Pacific has made sur
vey of the situation on the west end
of the line and it is found that at Og-
den 1900 loaded freight cars that
came in off the San Pedro and Cen
trail Pacific are held for eastern des-
tination. At the same time there are
held in the Ogden yards and at

Headed for Omaha.
The cars on the Union Pacific are
loaded for Omaha and points east
and as rule they consist of lum-
Der and grain. When these cars will
move out is uncertain. The Union
Pacific could handle them and get
them off its line, but this does not
hold true with connecting linz at
Missouri river terminals. These lines
still hold the embargo on shipments
to points beyond Chicago and conse-
quently they will not accept the bust
ness from the Union Pacific.
Consignments from the west COM
ing to Omaha and points along the
line out in this state and down into
Kansas are hurried out of Ogden after
being received from connecting lines
and deliveries are being made on
schedule time.
Fruit trains are coming through on
time and even east Of here are not
subjected to much delay. The same
holds with reference to the handling
of all perishable freight and meats

For some time afterward the talk
was apparently enjoying her dinner.
Smith was not enjoying his, but he
ate as a troubled man often will;
mechanically and as a matter of
routine. 1t was not until the dessert
had been served that the young
woman took up the thread of the
conversation precisely as if it had
never been dropped.

what manner she could be persuaded
to tell what she might know. While

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

blouse with the open neck and
long sleeves and the hand en-.
broidery used upon both. AS
it is shown here, the material is
natural colored pongee. The
work is done in Chinese blue
and it makes a very beautiful
combination and a very smart
one for everything that savors
of the Orient is fashionable,
but you could of course vary the
color indefinitely, also the ma
terial. Some women will like
to make the skirt of a sports
satin or of a figured sports silk
and the blouse of crepe de chine
or of Habutai silk, either in
matching color or in white, with
the collar and cuffs matching
the skirt.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, 3M yards of
material SO inches wide, 3 yards
