For years people have looked for
moderately priced car that had
good looks, finish and refinement;
that was little more chic than the
average run of commonplace jobs.
In this new Lexington with its long
low beautiful body design, its sim
plifed, rugged chassis, its distinc-
tive radiator design, its finer up
holstery-we have achieved what
we believe to be the ultimate.
The Lexington was the first to intro

at the same time Each discharge

Hence there is 22.8&o more power

Another big improvement is the new

LAND GRANT COUNTIES

underlings In one OF tho land de-

and force favorable action on the
Chamberlain bill now dying slow

Of the house.
The Ferris act. which
became effective Juno .. 1918. pro-
vided IN substance. that the federal
government should pay the taxes
now due and unpaid" upon tho grant
lands.
These unpaid taxes amounted. in
principal. to approximately $780,
900 ON June 9. 1915. There were
due at that date more than $780,
900 In costs. penalties and interest.
while since that date these same
charges have been running at the
rate OF approximately $4,000 n
month. 30 that there is now due a
total. including both principal and

II was not thought that there wouid
be any dificulty in curing the appar-
ent harsh wording OF the Chamber

officially for the payment Of all
charges that might ibe due up to the
date OF payment.
Accordingly a bill was prepared
and introduced by Senator Chamber
lain in the senate. providing that In
the payment Of taxes upon the grant
lands. all charges should be paid up
to the date Of payment. This bill
was passed by the senate within a
week or so after its introduction.

FOREIGN OFFICERS
PRAISE U. S. CAMPS
Speak Before Harvard Club
and Laud Men at Can
tonments.

British and French officers here to
help train the American Army in tho
trench warfare Of Europe delivered
addresses before the Harvard Club Of
Washington last night in the Univer-
sity Club. They spoke in praise Of the
men now in the cantonments and their
spirit. They had come, they said. to
give the Americans the benefit Of their
experience since tho war began In
1914.
I'VE want you to start whore We left
Off. not where we began" said Maj.
Applin Of the British army. He laid
great stress upon tho need of disci-
pline in an army. and declared that
forces which had gene to pieces at the
front were those which lacked the
proper discipline
st do not mean the discipline OF the
Hun. which means go on but that
which means como on" he said.
Part Played by Bayonet.
The part that is played by the bayo-
net In the struggle along the western
front in Europe was told by Maj.
Alexander. Sergt. Maj. Headley OF the
British army. demonstrated the drill.
with the various thrusts. parties and
swings.
Mai Alexander declared that the
physique and spirit Of the men now az
Camp Meade. Nd. gave promise OF
great things. He said. however. II was
not enough for the men in the Army
to be filled with the fighting spirit. but
the entire nation must realize the war
and that 1t is stern and hard strug-
gle which must be won.
Capt. de Reinach of the French army.
who left France several years ago. en-
igrating to Canada, and who became
mayor of the city in which he settled.
but went back to France and into the
army when the war broke out, told the
club what he had seen at the various
camps he has visited since he has been
in this country. praising the work be-
ing done.
The club adopted a resolution ad-
vancing the date of its annual dinner.
which has customarily been given in
February. and the date probably will
be set between December Is and
Christmas.
Justice Mccoy OF the District Su.
preme Court, chairman OF the commit
tee on war work, submitted report
and urged all the members of the club
to participate in the work.

Terrett Of 2103 street northwest.
who was crossing at 21st and P streets

effort to get the driver of the ma

FISH SCARCE, PRICES HIGH.
Ling and Menhaden Sell at Lowest
Figures.

Ling and menhaden were the lowest
priced fish on sale at the fish wharf
market this morning. But they sold
at about twice what they brought last
fall. Fish of all kinds. the dealers say.
continue scarce and prices range, for
the choice fish, as high as is asked for
many cuts of beef.
Bass and rock were quoted this
morning as high as % cents a pound
for choice fish. Butterfish and croak-
ers, which formerly sold at less than
Il cents a pound, are today quoted
at from IA to IS cents a pound. Trout,
often sold as low as cents a pound,
are today selling at from 10 to IL cents.
While reports received from the river
and bay fisheries say good catches are
being made, receipts on the market
here continue light
