Case in One Type of
Chassis Only This Year

Among the popular makes of motor
cars that make their debut in a new
dress at the automobile shows is the
1917 Case Forty. 1t will be especially
distinctive for the reason that in the
latest creation carrying the rampant
eagle trademark are incorporated sew
eral changes that give added efficiency,
comfort, convenience and beauty.
The car is listed at the same price
as last seasons model SLIGO. In this
respect the 1917 Case is especially note
worthy. for many automobile manufae-
turers have increased the price of their
product the advent of the new year.
During the coming season the Case
Company will manufacture only one
type of chassis, retaining the four
cylinder motor, famous as the FLEXIBLE
Four" For 1917 the Case will also
appear as q tourabout.
The changes over last years tour
ing car are refinements rather than
radical alterations.
The motor has been further improved
for economy. The camshaft drive is by
helical gears of special material which
makes for quietness and simplicity.
Last years cellular radiator has been
replaced by one of the vertical tube
type of the company's own make. The
former starting and lighting equipment
Is now displaced by the Autolite sys-
tenn.
This change in the electric equipment
also results in a desirable change in
the location of the lighting and igni-
tion switch, both of which are now
placed on the steering column. The
starting button has been moved to the
floor. where the driver operates 1t with
his heel instead of by hand. "A fea-
ture of the electric system is a safety
"cut-out," which automatically turns
off the flow of current from battery
should the switch be left ION" while
motor is not running. This prevents
exhaustion of the storage battery. The
SO-ampere hour battery formerly used
has been displaced by a three-cell 90
ampere hour Willard battery.
More graceful lines and greater COM
fort have been attained by body
changes. The hood line between cowl
and radiator is now more nearly hori-
zontal, thus adding much to the ap-
pearance of the car. A slanting wind
shield adds materially to the sweep
the pivotal auxiliary seats have been
replaced by folding seats of the disap-
pearing type.
For the convenience of the driver the
hand brake lever has been shifted from
the left to the center. The fuel tank
filler spout has been moved toward
the right for convenience. Equipment
includes one-man top, Stewart speed
ometer, and electric exploring lamp.
Five Houk wire wheels are furnished in
place of regular wood wheels, at a
slight extra charge.

STUDEBAkLR NOTES

The biggest single days shipment of
Studebaker cars in the history of the
studebaker Corporation was made on
April 10, the output being 40 automo-
biles, representing a value of approXi-
mately half million dollars.
When A. r. Davis, Studebaker distri-
butor in Cleveland, inaugurated a plan
or presenting each woman driver of
Studebaker car in Cleveland with an
raster plant, the total number of plants
distributed was six. That was three
years ago. This year. in pursuance of
the same policy, Mr.. Davis distributed
close to zoo plants at Easter. This
unique plan gives an interesting insight
into the tendency of women to drive
automobiles in ever increasing num-
bers.

Advantages of Eight
Defined by Apperson

A definition of an eight-cylinder
motor by Edgar Apperson, prominent
motorcar manufacturer of Kokomo,
Indiana, is so simple that any novice
can get a clear understanding of this
type of power plant.
THE power of an eight-cylinder
motor may be likened to the flow of
Niagara" he says. by this simile it
is meant to illustrate the fact that the
power of the Eight is continual.
THE Eight gives you four power
impulses for every revolution of the
fywEeel. an impulse every quarter
turn. The overlapping is so complete
that the turning effort is practically
constant. The Eight is the ideal
power plant for there is no hesitation
between impulses"

HAVE DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when you darken gray, faded hair with
 Sage Dca and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull faded or streaked Appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,'' you will get a large bot tie of this old-time recipe> improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw 1t through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

These are separate buildings but are in direct connection with the main structure.
 A summer conference plant WIS started last summer at the foot of Mt Puji and is composed of audi toriun, dor1nitories and recreational features. This place is coming into demand by other Christian bodies as conference center and is already be- ing called the Northfield of Japan.
 The education and military author tiles have a well-worked out system of physical drill which is compulsory and apparently adapted from the Swedish system of gymnastics. As one educator said to MT. Brown, Tt is probably all right physio1ogically and as body builder, but 1. notice that after the men get out of the schools and the army they shun any thing that looks like gymnastics: no attempt seems to made to sugar coat the work or to ontroduce any more interesting features of physical edu- cation.''
 Considering the opportunities for service and the value of future rela- tionships our national committee sane toned MT. Brown taking whatever time is necessary in properly serving the Far Eastern Contest committee until after next May. Preparation for the coming international contests has given a great boom to all branches of athletics; in different sections of the country six large track and field meets have been held since last spring, the number of athletes entered in each running from 200 to over 800. In two of these meets there have been tournaments in basketball. volleyball and association football. In addition, there has been one sectional and one

buildings and the crowded schedule of hall used as gymnasiums. If experi- enced leaders were available much outdoor work could be done. Bow ling is a new game which has just been introduced into Japan and Kyoto directors ordered a pair of alleys from America. Since their installation last May there has been an average at tendance of 600 bowlers and 1,500 games each month. Business men are especially attracted by this game"
 B. P. Barnhardt has arrived in Seoul to organize the boys and phy- sical departments of that place. The gymnasium classes are part of the regular school schedule at Seoul. The Seoul association is the first in the Japanese empire to set up an organ ized boys department and is second only to Kobe in getting anything like a full physical program started.
 Continuing, the report says:
 The Yokohama City association building is nearly completed and will be opened for a full program of work in a few weeks; in fact, educational work has already been started. The Tokyo Imperial university building will be opened at about the same time as the Yokohama plant. The contract has been let and work be- gun on the building for the national committee. The Tokyo City associa- tion is happy over the beginning of construction work on the new physi- cal department building, and the 1'e- modelling and enlarging of its audi torium to fill the increasing demand for large hall for Christian meet ings. The auditorium is expected to be finished early next year and the physical building will be reody for at least some activities by February.

IS C8MING OUR WAY
OILED ROAD MAY REACH FROM
NEWTON TO oskALoosA.

The Newton Record says the people
along the road from Lynnville to New
ton, through Sully and Kilduff, are
very enthusiastic about the matter of
oiling the highway. They have already
oiled part of it and meeting was held
last Saturday evening at Kilduff at
which sufficient funds were pledged to
oil the road up as far as three miles
this side of Kiiduf. This left nine
miles between that point and Newton.
Last Saturday morning a committee
consisting of II. B. Allfree, II. s. Ray
burn, H. r. Norris and w. S. Johnson,
Went out among the business men of
Newton and got nice sum pledged
in aid of the project.
Monday evening a meeting was held
at Pleasant View church for the pur-
pose of bringing the matter before the
people along the road between here
and Killduff A delegation of Newton
business men went down and there
were delegations from nillduff and
Lynnville as well as many farmers.
The farmers were very enthusiastic
and voted unanimously to raise the
money and oil the road in the four and
one half mile section in the Pleasant
View neighborhood.
All now depends on how the land
owners along the road between the
country farm and Newton take hold OF
the project, but judging from the way
that those on the balance of the road
took hold of the matter, We have no
doubt but that the oilins will be COM
pleted in a few weeks over the entire
% miles.
1t was stated at the meeting at
Pleasant View church that there was
good prospect that the oiling of this
road will be continued on through New
Sharon to Oskaloosa. 1t will make a
great Improvement if it is.

SPECIAL SERVICE FOR SOLDIERS
AT CAMP ALLEN.

The services at Camp Allen for the
boys of Company H were well attend
ed Sunday evening. The seating
capacity of the amphitheatre was in
adequate to accommodate the large
crowd and many stood in places
where they could hear and many left
the grounds before the services were
over.
The singing by the audience with
orchestra accompaniment was led by
Claire Gordon. Miss Sybil Kramme
and Charles Farmhouse favored the
audience with two cornet duets that
pleased to the utmost. Deyotions
were led by Rev. De Voc.
Rev. Loehr read the Scripture les
son and on behalf of the churches of
the city and the Y. NJ. C. A. presented
to Captain Springer a New Tesla
ment for each member of Company
HI. This was followed by the ad-
dress Of the evening, Victorious
Manhood" by Rev l.. M. Grigsby of
the M. e. church, in which he stated
that the greatest battle field is in the
human heart and that the danger of
the battlefield was the little things
within that respond to big things
without. Three things were given
to help win this moral battle:
1st-High ideals steadfastly and
earnestly pursued.
2d-To arm and fortify yourself
with the Word of God.
3d-To resist the beginnings of
evil.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
in starting it grew dark before the
address was begun, but Rev. Grigsby
held his audience who were able to
hear very distinctly.
Company Fl was present in a body,
and seats were reserved for them in
one of the central tiers.
Quite a number of those people
who attended the services came early

the flag at retreat. For those unfa-

A HIGH DEATH RATE
oskALoosA MAKES POORER
SHOWING THAN NEW YORK.

While we are devoting so much
time and thought to the problems d.
rectly dependent on the Great War,
let US not forget the vital interests
of our own CITY, Above all, let us
not forget our babies, upon whom in
so large measure depends the future
of our community.
1t has been found from the statis-
ties obtained by Miss LaFOrge, who
is working on the Baby Campaign in
Oskaloosa, that in 1914 the infant
mortality rate here was twice that
of New York As to how much this
was due to incomplete birth regis
tration and how much to poor health
conditions among babies, we do not
yet know.
In order to find out just where we
stand on the matter of infant health
there must be made a complete sur
vey of the city. All women who are
interested in the health of the chill
dren, and all High School girls and
college girls, are urged to devote 4
little of their time to this important
work. Their work may be the be-
ginning which will in the end result
in saving many babies lives. The
more who engage in the work, the
quicker will the work be done and
the less time each viii have to give
to 1t.

DUMPED |NTODITCH
JUDGE cRoZlER OF KNOXVILLE
HAS CLOSE CALL.

Knoxville Journal; On Saturday
evening Judge and Mrs. Crozier came
to the conclusion that they had some
very urgent business with their son,
BRUCE, at Washington, Iowa. Trains
were gone but jitneys were plentiful
and one of the latter was pressed in
to service. The down trip -of 70
miles was made in safety and several
laps on the home stretch were count
ed to the good. The party passed
through Oskaloosa at daylight Sunday
morning and were hitting the high
places among the Des Moines river
Bluffs before the "streaks of roseate
dawn" had made many glints through
the forest monarchs. Mr.. and Mrs.
Crozier had both been sleeping since
the Mahaska county capital was pass
ed. And then, when at point near
Tracy, someone else slept; the driv-
er, ten hours at the wheel without a
moments relief, dozed and-the auto
went into the ditch. The sum total
of bad results is shown in court plas-
ter strips across the Judges face,
but he says he don't blame anybody
for the mishap. He simply wonders
how the tired driver held out as long
as he did.
