WOMEN OF new
YORK STATE Get
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Believe Amendment Will
Pass BY Majority of 1Oo,'
600 Votes.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE women
citizens Of New York state were given
unlimited suffrage in yesterdays elec.
ton by majority, which Is expected
to reach 100000 when all election dis.
trlcts have completed their tabulatipns.
EARLY today, with 1,349 out OF 6T72
election districts mission, the vote
stood 533,519 for the amendment and
446,791 against. In the Greater City
which reversed its stand of 1915, the
suffrage leaders predicted that the
missing 272 election district would
greatly increase the already large ma
jority. The incomplete vote for the
city was 2S9,724 for suffrage as against
209,127 opposed.
Women Hysterical.
At both the City and State suffrage
headquarters scenes approaching hys
terra were enacted as the women show
cred embraces. kisses and congratula'
tons upon each other. Then, as il
sobered by the realization that other
states still withheld the vote from
their women, the leaders Immediately
set about pushing the campaign for
the federal amendment.
On the sweeping character OF yes
terday's victory in this state, the lead
ers predicted that congress would be
influenced to act favorably upon the
constitutional amendment enfranchis
ing women citizens of the nation. But
a victory without a jubilee could not
be overlooked and before the crowds
of jubilant women began leaving the
two headquarters, 1t was announced
that a celebration by New York city
women would be held tonight at Coop
or Union.
Upstate counties where suffrage
was rejected in 1915 reversed their
majority In more than equal proper
tions, while others, notably Albany
Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, Rensselaer,
and st. Lawrence again voted against
the amendment.

$500 Bond Budget
by Turkish Subject

Superintendent G. F. Derbyshire, Of

OF his employees, Turkish subject,
bought $500 worth of Liberty Loan
bonds.
THE Turkish government would
have taken this money from me by
force" he said to Mr.. Derbyshire.
'"They would say II we win the war
the money will come back. II we
lose, not red"
The Turk said naively that by buy
ing Liberty Loan bonds 1t was not
only an investment. but enabled him
to get back at the Turkish govern

SOCIALIST VOTE Low
tBy Associated Press)

Many surprises were occasioned in
the elections held throughout the
country Tuesday. Among these was
the overwhelming majority given the
woman suffrage amendment in New
York state, estimated at 100000, and
its decisive defeat by the voters of
Ohio. Voters of Ohio on returns tabu-
lated this morning, also apparently
have defeated statewide prohibition.
Tammany Hall was returned to pow
er in New York city by the election of
John F. Hylan by majority of 147.975
carrying with him the entire Demo
cratic ticket After his election Hy
Ian issued a statement declaring 10y
atty to the flag was not an issue and
that he yielded to no man in his love
for his country.
In New York state, Republicans
elected their candidate for attorney
general and will have 95 of the $50
members of the legislature.

Another surprise was the election of
a Republican mayor of Louisville-the
second In 10 years-the Republicans
also swept into office all their candi-
dates for county and city offices there
In the state. however, the Democrats
elected their candidate for attorney
general who was unopposed. and they
will have a majority in the legisla-
ture.
The bipartisan judicial ticket in
Chicago won over the socialist ticket
by majority approximating 1900
where the issue was made on the war.
The vote set a record for off-Year
elections and the socialists vote was
lower than in the last election. Dis
tricts populated largely by persons of
German origin piled up huge majori-
ties for the bipartisan candidates.
Governor Mccall was reelected by
the Republicans in Massachusetts, and
he carried the entire state ticket with
him, reducing the normally large
Democratic majority in Boston TO the
lowest figure ever given Democratic
candidate for governor. The three
amendments, chief of which prohibits
the giving of state aid to privately
controlled institutions, carried.
Cleveland reelected Harry L. Davis,
Republican for mayor and the Repub-
licans are claiming the election OF
their ticket in Philadelphia but the

Seventeen and eight-tenths miles on
one gallon of gasoline was the remark
able performance of n Maxwell ono
ton truck. So far as shown by availa-
BILE data the MAXWELL truck perform
ance is by far the biggest mileage on a
gallon OF gasoline ever made by any
truck. The driver had never before
driven truck and the road used did
not allow of any coasting TO increase
the mileage. An average speed of
about 5 miles was maintained. Before
making the run the truck was loaded
with a Maxwell touring oar weighing
1870 pounds; the driver weighted 2l0
pounds and Mr. sullivan tips the
beams at 200 pounds even. The gross
weight OF truck and load was 5,52b
pounds.
A stock Maxwell truck was used,
with one of the Maxwell one gallon red

out by the chronological development
of the aluminium motor.
So far as any records are obtalnable,
the first thoroly aluminized motor was
built. not in Europe. but in America
late m the year OF 1911. Prior to this
time certain European motors embod-
led aluminium in n very limited way
but the aluminium motor built in AM
erica in 1911, and above referred TO,
Is the first motor on record in which
the aluminium motor block was used.
Xearly in the summer of 1911 an Am
crican motor building organization
conceived the idea of naming an auto
mobile block motor of aluminium. AT
that time the art of making block
castings was so young, and the ldea
of using aluminium was so unusual
that it was rather difficult to raise
any enthusiasm. However, the ldea
was very attractive to those most in
timately engrossed with it and 1t was
decided hat IA sample motor of the
above outlined construction should be
built This motor was started in the
winter of 1911 and in the spring OF
1912 was put on the road.
