London, Nov. 1.-THE kings of Den
visit King Haakon Of Norway at Chris
tiania on Nov. 80 They will be accom-
panied by the respective premiers and
foreign ministers. This is taken to mean
that there will he conference in which
the question of food for the Scandina
Wan countries, the matter of the United
States embargo and trade relations with
the United States, exports to Germany
and other matters of common interest
viii be discussed Dispatches indicate
that there is still disposition on the
part of a portion of the people of those
countries to insist that America is bound
to furnish them food supplies, while they
have the right to send other food sup
plies to Germany. On the other hand,
there is strong disposition to make
terms with the United States-the best
possible-because of the atrocities and
wholesale murders inflicted by the Ger
mans on their small neighbors
There is under discussion before the
Danish Parliament a bill which would
allow the export of about 100000 pounds
of butter week, "to be divided between
Germany and England" The way it
would be divided, according to a dispatch
is to allow the exports to 90 forward to
Germany. As to England they are ito
be placed in storage in Denmark, pend
ing an agreement on price" Danish peo
Pile will be placed on rations as to butter.
The supply allowed will be sold to con
sumers at a price less than that at which
it will be sold to retailers and the differ
nnce is to be made up by excess profits
on butter exported and by higher taxes
on whskey.

Sharp Bulge in Chicago Market Due to
Scarcity of Offerings

Chicago, Nov. l7.-Scarcity of offerings
brought about sharp bulge yesterday
in the corn market. Bulls made much OF
the fact that stocks of corn temporarily
were near the vanishing point. Besides,
jump of oats values to the highest

corn shorts uneasy. Opening quotations,

Many Buyers.

According TO C. E. Voorhis. general
Company. Kenosha. Wis. the enthu-
siasm evidenced by the motoring pub
lie in the new Nash Six has been wide
spread. Immediately following the
announcement of the perfected valve

dealers" says Voorhis. 'crowds of au-
tomobile enthusiasts flooded their local
salesrooms. Everyone was. eager to
see the new car. which bears the name
of c. w Nash
while all seemed impressed with
the striking lines of the various mod
els and agreed that the Nash design
ers had done an exceptionally good job
when they evolved the new bodies and
color schemes, the one feature that
impressed most buyers was the won
derfully compact motor.
I'm appearance this Nash power
plant differs radically from the ordi-
nary six-cylinder motor. The usual
tangle of wires and maze OF. mechan-
ism is missing. Instead the eye sees
an engine that is as clean as a cut
block of steel All moving parts are
encased in a steel jacket that keeps
out dirt and dust.
The five-passenger Sedan has at
tracted many buyers within the few
months that have elapsed since the
announcement OF the new Nash cars.
Every year the public is coming more
and more to realize the advantage and
utility of this type of car. Especially

Twenty-Five years ago the Apper-
son Brothers, Elmer and Edgar, built
the first practical pleasure car. This
model is today in the Smithsonian
Institute IN this city.
1t is far cry from that first model
to the thing Of power and beauty
that the Apperson Bros. Automobile
Company are today offering. Through
all these years they have been in
the forefront in the evolution of all
classes of motors and those other
appointments which have made the
pleasure car Of today not only a
thing Of luxury but a necessity as
well.
1t is and ever has been in their mo-
tor that fine Apperson Brothers have
had supremacy. Other cars have had
beautiful appointments and ultra re-
finements, but from the time that
their first motor was given its first
official try-out over the Indiana roads
until today, the Apperson motor has
had few peers.
At various times during these twen-
ty-five years, from the single-cylin-
der type to their present powerful,
yet silent, eight-cylinder, these two
builders of automobiles have been
pioneers in detail after detail.

when one Of our dealers out in a
small Kansas town sent US word that
he had originated a new and startling
test to convince prospects of the
staunch construction OF Studebaker
cars. we were Of course, interested in
the event" says r. T. Hodgkins, gen.
eral sales manager OF the Studebaker
Corporation we found that he had
built a platform in the middle OF

tremendous force on all four wheels.
This test to which the Kansas dealer
subjected our cars, severe as II was,
did not impress US so very much. OF
course we congratulated the dealer
upon his ingenuity-but we let 1t 60
at that.
Later another Studebaker dealer In
San Luis Obispo, California, hearing
of the jumping stunt, decided to stage
one of his own. His method of con-
Quoting the event was practically the
same as that used by the Kansas
dealer. with a record-breaking crowd
lined up on both sides of the street

ELECTRIC TRUCKS
FOR short HAULING
Replace from Three to Five Men,
Experts Say.

After a comprehensive study OF
shOrt-haul transportation conditions
the electric industrial truck has been
found to most satisfactorily meet the
requirements in nearly every kind of
industry.
II has been estimated that over
100000 tons of freight are handled
yearly in the United States. and al
though there has been an unusual ac-
emulation due to increased exports
and therefore considerable congestion
at freight terminals and piers during
the last three years, the electric truck
has aided materially i'm systematically
handling this mass of material.
Statistics prove that the electric in
dUstrial truck can replace from three
TO fivc men. which are thus released
for meeting unusual demands for men
and more men. and these economic
units also show an increase in the
handling speed.
As the demand has been created.
varied types of these trucks have
been placed ON the market They are
Padc small enough to operate in the
aisles OF factories and storage ware
houses. to run on elevators and into
fright carS. Vt their standard cana
city is two tons. Many Of thes carry
ing loads up to 9O.OOO pounds. and
they can climb grades too steep for
hand trucks. EIevating transfer
trucks have also been deveIoped
which can pick M. carry away and
set down loaded interchangeable plat
forif4s. thus eliminating the hand
labor IN loading and unloading the
trucks.

PACKARD SALES ARE
SI,OO0,0OO in DAY
Orders Reached This Amount On
October 30.

Sales of high class automobiles arc
an index Of prosperity and business
confidence.
One of the largest days sales os
motor carriages in the annals of the
Packard Motor Car Company was
that reported on Tuesday. October
30. when by mail and telegraph there
arrived orders for Twin Six cars
valued in excess of one million dol
lars. These orders came from as
near as the Detroit retail branch
of the Packard and as far away as
Los Angeles.
The heavy business for the day was
the climax of a spirited six weeks
contest, in which the resistance Of
fered by war conditions was much
stronger than automobile saIesmen
ever before were called on to master.
A survey of the results, so far as
they are reported, shows that gooG
business prevailed generally over the
country, and especially the West.

responding six weeks of 1916. when

taxation In heavy investments in gov

Chasm, Landing Without Damage to
Any of It's Parts

had struck the pavement with such
terrific force. .
Not a particle of damage was suf-
fered by the Studebaker in either Of
these jumps-not a bolt loosened and
not a single piece of mechanism out
of place. No adjustments were made
Of any kind, either before or after
the plunge through space.
Even after this sensational test we
did not think it of enough importance
to give it national publicity. Not be-
cause we thought II of no account
we realized the great strain suih a
jump put upon the chassis and every
moving part Of the car but more
because of the fact that we put our
chassis through a test before they
leave the factory that Is the most
thorough and exacting possible to
make. Perhaps you will recall the
pictures OF the Studebaker car being
bumped over two high distractions,
hour after hour, that recently ap-
peared in many of the papers of the
country. Such a test as this is far
more furnishing than score of flying
leaps through the air.
Now, since the same idea has bcen
appropriated by other manufactur-
ers. we have come to realize the value
OF such a demonstration. The Stude-
baker dealer at Salina. Kansas, orig
inator OF the spectacular stunt, nat
urally feels fattered to know that his
ingenuity has been recognized by
others. Then. too. he is pleased tc
know that the Studebaker dealer at
San Luis Obispo. California, still holds
the worlds record with a jump of 10
feet inches-the nearest approach
% his record being a jump of 70 feet.

DORT CAR COVERS
PACK BURRO trail
Old Settlers in Mountainous West
Astonished by Feat.

The motor car has taken the place
of the pack burro in the mountains
of the West. A bort car. the first
to reach the brink of Zion Canyon.
Utah, made the trip up and down
successfully, much to the astonish-
ment of old settlers.
The route followed by the bort and
its driver, L. J. Burrud. is the same
that the government probably will
adopt in blasting out a roadway from
the floor of Zion Canyon to the nm.
Those who have made the trip 10
Yosemite and then on up to Glacier
Point, have fair idea of what this
car encountered" said an old settler.
After fifty miles of low gear work,
with the grades as steep as thirty
per cent, the first and only misnap

burned-out out bearing" said John d.
Mansfield. general sales manager of
the bort Motor Car Company.
The car was towed by horses over
the top of the duGway. where the party
camped for the night.
A mechanic replaced the bearing
and the party resumed its way. Three
days later found them on the brink
of Zion Canyon, having covered paths
and trails that even mules and horses
have difficulty in negotiating"

Twenty-fifth Model of
Apperson Now on Sale
Firm Celebrates Silver Anniversary-Or
Is In Smithsonian Institution This City

The new Apperson model, while
vs<ying but little from their imme-
dotely preceding model, has yet those
little refinements of line and again
those essential refinements of motrr
which have always marked another
step in advance in the evolution Of
Apperson cars.
The Apperson motor is simplicity
itself. 1t is different from any other
eight-cylinder engine now being man
ufactured. Perhaps the clearest way
to express 1t would be to say that
1t is the single Appearson four-cyl-
inder doubled.
Single Cam Shaft.
AS in the four-cylinder, but the
single cam-shaft is used in the new
Apperson Eight. To the best Of our
knowledge this is the only eight
cylinder motor with but one cam
shaft and two cam-gears. Through
the use of this single cam-shaft the
old trigger board which is found
in other eight-cylinder motors has
been eliminated. When you figure
that this removes between eighty and
ninely movable parts OF the engine,
you can realize what a long step the
Appersons have made toward the
quiet, flexible. more efficient motor.
This is but one example of the real
value found in the Apperson car.
In addition to this, light weight is
a big cesideratum. The light recipro-
eating parts give quickness of pick
up, freedom from vibration, silence
ard long life. To the owner of the
Apperson, one of the most important
features of the new Eight is the lu-
bricating system. This is of the hol-
low crank shaft positive feed type.
The oil is positively pumped, being
controlled by the pressure gauge, SO
that the owner is at all times sure of
whether or not his oil pressure is
working. Through the crank shaft
and its outlets the oil passes to the
many working parts as well as to the
supply pipes leading up TO the con-
Meeting rods to the upper pipe bear
ings. The reverse supply of oil in
the bottom of the crank is reached by
the lower ends Of the rods, one in
motion, so that fine spray is at all
times supplied throughout the inside
OF the engine. All of the inner NOV
ing parts of the engine are bathed
in oil.
All moving parts, including the rod
arms and valve caps. are enclosed so
that they are absolutely free from
dust or dirt At the same time these
parts are accessible, as valve shaft
gear plates can be quickly removed
by simply detaChing a couple of nuts
Thermo-syphOn cooling is used.
The carbureter is located centrally
over the motor. being connected with
specially constructed water jackets
which hav" been carefully designed by
the Appcrson Brothers and absolutely
do away with loading up" one of
the many bug bears in the average
cight-Cyliudrr cars.
The APpcrsOn Brothers were the
first TO successfully work out carbu-
ration for the centrally Combustible
engines. just as they were the first to
supply the jump spark electrical
ignition.
As In their previous models, the new
Apperson is offered IN Seyen-passen-
ger as well as i'm the chummy roadster
bodies. This holds -ood both for their
.eight-cylinder ard siN-cylinder types.

IL it was travelling In a rain storm
This test Z was continued sixteen
hours q day for eight days, at the
end OF whcih time the committee
thoroughly examined the ear. The
result Of this unique test is contained
in the following extract from the af-
fdavit signed by a member OF the
committee,
I'VE found the car to be absolu-
tely dry with no indication OF leak
at any part OF the interior"
''The forward end Of the car,
against which the water had been
driven with considerable force during
the entire period, was found to be
absolutely dry. The same was true
toward the back. where the water
fell much as II would have done dur
ing a severe storm. Paint and enamel
on all parts touched by water were
found to be uninjured. II had not
been disintegrated or even injured by
the water.
ITO my mind, this instance is typ
