MITCHELL MAKES
 STRENUOUS TRIP
Car Lived Up to Experts Ideals of Efficiency, Speed
 and Endurance

With a task of nearly one year s length before him and a considerable portion of the United States and Can ada as his educational studio, Robert c. Bruce of the Educational Films cor poration of America has undertaken a mission for taking series of nov ing and still pictures for. display in moving picture houses throughout the continent of North America that crit ies say will afford the biggest edu- cational feature ever attempted in this country.
 Mr. Bruce left New York on January IA, electing to make the entire eXcur- sion by automobile. His boldness in planning this trip and his determina- tion to prove, at the same time, the invaluable assistance that could be rendered by a motor car astonished the biggest men of the film world. His selection of the Mitchell car for his strenuous travelling came as the re- suit of a close study of automo bile efficiency No sooner had he deter mined upon utilizing a 'Six of Six teen" than he called upon Charles F. Skinner the Mitchell representative in New York, and purchased a first se ries, seven passenger touring car and oufitted it for the memorable camera journey. Nearly 1000 miles of the swing around the big circle have been traversed and already the film expert has obtained enough films to demonstrate the wisdom of his sesec- tion of the machine to carry him through vicissitudes/ of roads and trails that are in themselves one Of the most admirable educational fea- lures of American life in southern states
 Because the motor of the Mitchell car never has given him moment of mechanical trouble and the car lived Up to his ideals in efficiency, speed and endurance. Mir. Bruce announced that he had given the machine the name "The Quickern elk"
 'Tt goes through everything that has suspicion of road under the mud" wrote MT. Bruce in one of his com municatfons to President Otis c. Friend of the Mitchell Motors com pany. "The Quickern'ell is still on top mud all the way but the car runs splendidly." he added after an ex- perience in Virginia.
 We have been through rain and mud for the last six days" came the message from another point "Car is running finely. Since leaving Rich mond we have drilled through some awful stuff. Got motion pictures ot the MltcHeli pushing the mud anead of it, the front axle being complete ly buried. We have made $50 miles to date-never meet any other heavy cars on the deep roads"
 After an extremely difficult trip via Augusta and Macon, using the shovel and Jack frequently on roads that seemed bottomless, the film expedi- tion reached jacksonville. Fla There the throngs that greeted the mud spattered machine and driver were very enthusiastic and the Mitchell dealer had big reception at his sales rooms for the camera expert

The Verdun Cathedral

 It is incredible that the cathedral of Verdun is so little daina ged. Perched on its hilltop. its dominates the city and the silvery thread of the river be- low For miles about the rolling coun- try it stands out as landmark Though by night and day shells whistle by it, destined for the supply trains on the roads that feed the Yer dun sector, its outlines are intact. The railing that surmounts the tower on the right, as seen from the courtyard of the bishops palace. has been partly blown away, and the facade is plenti- fully splintered with flying shell frag- ments. It would almost seem as though the Germans deliberately intended to spare the cathedral. Or else. which is more likely, they consider it's destruc- ton a waste of ammunition.
 They have not been so considerate of

the adjoining seminary and bishops palace. Here we have the old mo- notonous story-roofs gone, arches crumbled, windows smashed and the courtyard filtered with broken stone. A Red Cross flag flew over the build ing closest to the cathedral. But 6 shell whipped it away and crushed down the roof over the patients be- meath.
 There was greater impression of devastation inside the cathedral than without. We fell over broken stones and our footsteps reverberated in the ghostly depths of the vaulted rafters above Our captain drew aside the cur tain for us, but before we could steal cut the wind swung the door to with the resourding report of a pile driver. When the echoes died away we could hear the guards turning over on their pallets I looked back over my shoulder as a ray of moonlight filtered through the broken windows and fell on the marble column. 1 scene ed to be leaving place strangely peopled with ghosts.

W|LLYS-OVERLAND COMPANY LEADS IN
 H|GH-GRADE CARS
Growth of Company Reads Like Stories of "War Bride" StOck-TO Make
 100000 Cars in 1917

An account of an eight years grow tn in assets from s5S,O0O to S6S, 100000 reads like some of the remarkable stories being told about prosperity ir "war bride" stocks This article, how ever, has nothing to do with uncer- tain war stocks-it is a report of the development of the Willys-O Overland company of Toledo. O., under the guid- ing hand of John N Willys
 This company now ranks as the sec ond greatest automobile manufactur- ing institution in the world. Although second largest in size, it Is the world s leading producer of medium and high priced cars.
 Another justifiable claim to distinc ton on the part of the WillysOv land company is the fact that it is the only organization in the world mak- ing complete line of cars, compris- ing IT body designs in all, under one group of factory heads. This mann moth business, which last year totaled $105, 100000, representing the sales of approximately 150,000 complete auto mobiles. is all carried on by one ex- ecutive management one production management, one engineering staff, one purchasing department, one sales force and one set of dealers.
 During the great convention of Willys-Knight and Overland dealers at Toledo in December nearly $1S0,000,- 900 worth of cars were contracted for, which fnsures a 1917 production of more than 100000 automobiles. This in crease in production. however, will not crowd the factory because the great plant has a productive capacity of approximately 12a0 cars a day The aim of the company, >>yertheless, is not to produce the greatest possible number of cars-its announced object is the production of just as many quality cars ss the incoming orders require.
 By producing complete line of quality automobiles in quanties, the Overland officials point out that they are in a position to share the profits of their business with their consumers Overland and Willys-Knight buyers, it is contended, share in the fruits of the companys complete organization its reduced manufacturing cost, it's extensive experience and it's advanced type of cars, by purchasing unusual quality values at the lowest possible selling prices.
 ''The conservative and at the same time tremendous expansion of the Willys-Overland company is positive protection for the consumer That is the working theory of John N. Willys, who directs the affairs of the great Toledo industry.

Fish Locate Fresh Water

From the Poular Science Monthly.
 How salt water fishes determine where they are, and why fresh wather fishes can always find their way into rivers ls made clear by Drs. " F. Shelford ard E. B. Powers Their studies on the re- sistance of salt water fishes to the de cayed and decomposed things, lead to an explanation of their habits.
 It appears that herring can sense diff ferences in heat and cold as small as a quarter of degree or less. They ap- preciate the fact that only trace of an acid or alkal is present in water. So sensitive are herring to acids and alkalis that the scientists propose that these nd other fish be used to detect the chemicals instead of the litmus paper, which chem ists use. and in the same manner that canary birds are used to discoved traces of poison coal gas in mines and else where.
 In connection with the entrance of sal mon into rivers and other bodies of water, Drs. Shelford and Powers say it is evil dent that they find their way by virtue

 CAR STARTS0N TOUR
Machine Which Finished 2O,OOO-Mile Trip in Jan-

"The Hupmobile capital-to-capital car which finished it's 2O,000-mile journey around the United States in January, has been started on another tour" said Dan Drennen of the Birmingham Motor com pany. Instead of pital-to-capital itS Is now the show-to- show car, visiting one automobile show a week.
 This famous machine, which made the wonderful record of covering the entire country and visiting every state capital in a little over four months, is now mak ing show route by express. It reached New York by the hardest kind of driving in the middle of the New York exhibi- ton at the Grand Central palace. The drivers, c, E. Salisbury and George Lipe, returned to the national capital for a banquet and then drove over to Philadel- phia for the finish of the Philadelphia show. Since then the car has been trav- cling in the fast express trains which carry the Hupmobile exhibits from one city to another First, it was sent with the Hupmobile cut-out chassis direct to the Chicago show, where it was sensa- ton at the Coliseum. After a week in Chicago. the car was sent to the Mime apolis show, then down to Kansas City.
 "St. Louis is the next stop for the tour car, from where 1t will turn to the east for the big show at Brooklyn, and will later be shown at Boston"

As may be seen in the illustra- ton above, the Mitchell automo- bile has a radiator similar to those of two or three other auto mobiles which have been de scribed in this series. The name plate, however, is distinctive in outline, as may be noted shows it in detail. This car has its name in large, nickeled script on the gasolene tank in the rear, so that it may be recog- nized from behind as well as from the front.
