ARMORED TRUCK
ATTHE MOTOR SHOW
Visitors See One of Uncle Sans
Land Cruisers at Close
Range.

Visitors to the. motor show last
night were divided in their attention
between the pleasure cars and the
armored truck which was in the in
augural parade.
The Mack, two-ton fighting ma
chine, was constantly surrounded by
interested groups and the cause Of
much comment.
1t is said to be capable of thirty-five
miles an hour, and, besides the driver
carries a crew of machine gun opera
tors. Besides its utility in scout
work 1t offers the undeniable often
siye ability in the machine'gun on its
deck.
The KIssel exhibit is a notable one
The Hundred Point Six discloses
simple, accessible mechanical as
sembIy. The features from which this
car gets its name are the Kissel-built
motor and fully floating rear axle;
Rissel double external brakes, and oil
fabrication, all but two grease cups
being eliminated.
The town car is nnisheo IN gun
metal gray, with upholstery Of con-
ventional brocaded cloth.
1t has all the refinements, niceties
and conveniences of the coach de
luxe. In summer the top is removed
and it becomes a smart victoria. 1t
is the latest recruit to the hissel
line of all-year cars.
One of the attractions for the little
folks is the comfortable Crow Elk
hart Glover Leaf with convertible top.
The third seat, which was termed
by a woman the "bashful" seat-set
back from the forward seats, which
are divided-is hardly the anxious
seat found in earlier Glover Leaf
models. 1t is roomy and comfort
able, 50 that II the "crowd" happens
to be q stout person there is ease and
thorough riding relaxation.

The number Of children given to one teacher would
seem to be the logical place to begin. When there

otherwise is stretching human endurance too far.
The teacher does what she can in the midst of her
difficulties but to expect her best to amount to very

is the very training he needs. Education is the de-
