Two EXtra-Fine Cars
Built by John W. Bate-In Bate Built Plant
With Many Unique Attractions

The Mitchell Six this year comes
in two sizes Mitchell and Mitchell
Junior. But both belong to single
type, developed by John w. Bate.
This is the 18th model. It is the
final result of 700 improvements. It
represents his ultimate conception.
The factory which builds it is
mammoth, model plant. 1t covers IS
acres, and now includes a modern
body plant.
1t was built and equipped by John
w. Bate to build this one type eco
nomical1y. His efficiency methods on
this years output will save about
$4,000, 900.
We urge you to see what extra
values these savings have made
possible.

81 Extra Features
24% Added Luxury

The latest Mitchell has 81 features
which nearly all cars omit. Things
like a power tire pump, reversible
headlights, ball-bearing steering gear,
dashboard engine primer.
On this years Mitchells we add "a
per cent to the cost of finish, rphol-

SMALL EARNINGS LESSEN CHANGE
 OF BABY'S LIFE
Direct Relation Between Earnings of Father and
 Infant Mortality.

The chance of life of baby grows earnings grow smaller. This is shown in the results of the investigations of the Children's Bureau, made public in its fifth annual report.
 The bureaus studies of infant mor- tality were made among 13,0OO babies in eight American cities-Johnstown, Pa Montclair, N. J.; Manchester, N. H.; Brockton, Mass; Saginaw, Mich.; 1; New Bedford, Mass; Waterbury, Ct., and Akron, Ohio. One-fourth of all the fathers earned less than $550 a year; in these families every sixth baby died. Only about one-eighth of the fathers earned $1,050 or more; of their babies only one in 16 died. The rise of prices and the disorganizat1on of social and industrial life with the war accentuate the importance Of this persistent relation of income to infant mortality.
 These studies show that to provide mothers care and decent home con- ditions, the fathers must have ad- eouate income In Manchester, N. H., nearly three-fourths of the mothers whose husbands earned less than $45O a year were gainfully employed; only about a, tenth when the husband s wage was 1,050 or over. The 5aoles of mothers who went out to work dled at more than twice the rate of more fortunate children.

TROTSKY EXPLAINS
 DEMOCRATIC PEACE

Paris, Dec. a4-Leen Fretsky, the Belsheviki foreign minister, according to dispatch to the HaVas agency, called on Joseph Noulens, the French ambassador to Russia, and explained the Bolsheviki wished to keep to the principle of a democratic peace," leaving to the people the right te dis pose of themselves. The ambassador having asked him what he would dc if Germany refused such a peace, Trotsky answered that the peace would not be signed and that the Maxamilists might be led to wage revolutionary war"
 Trotzky added that "If public opin- ion was opposed to such a war the question would be carried before the constituent assembly," He concluded by saying that if the Bolsheviki sue cumbed to the resistance they. are meeting in Russia the country would be given over to anarchy.
 The Havas note concludes:
 This conversation must be consid- cred as creating no new relations be- tween the Maximalist government and us."

One day, while walking near the Fiber with her companions, she persuaded them to throw themselves with her into the river. swim to the opposite shore and return to Rome. They all reached their home in safety, al- though they had to accomplish the feat amidst a shower of arrows that were poured upon them by the ene- my. But the Roman consul did not approve the bold deed and sent the maidens back to King Porseha's camp. Porsena was moved by the courage of the girls, and the generosity of the Romans, and gave them their liberty. Rome then erected in the Via Sacra a statue in honor of the fair heroine, which P1utarch mentions in his writ irgs.

Birthday of Jim Flynn and
 Soldier KearnS, E-Hopes

Jim Flynn and Soldier Keafns were both bern on Dec. a4 in Brooklyn Andrew Chiarig1iene, to give the Pueblo fireman his real name, gave voice to his first challenge 3s years ago today, while Kearns made his ap- peaFaAce on earth just seven years later.
 Although native of Brooklyn, Jim Flynn lived a large part of his life in Pueblo, and during his long career as a fighter helped to make the Colorado city famous. He first put on the gloves at the Rover Club in Pueblo, where Abe Attell and Young Cerbett also fought some of their first battles. Then he went te Denver, where he was somewhat dis couraged in his ambition to take up the fighting game by having a jaw broken by 8 boxer named LaEelle. He got job as a fireman on the Rio Grande, where he became known as the Fighting Fireman" After time he returned to the ring, and was the victor in several hard fought bat ties in Salt Lake City. During the next few years his career was one .of ups and downs. He was knocked out by Tommy Burns, but fought 2o round draw with that tough old war horse Jack (Twin) Sullivan. In 1907 he knocked out George Gardiner, Bill Squires and Dave Barry, and, al- though he was knocked out by Jack Johnson, he began to look like a coper. Al Kaufman and Sam Lang ford sent Jim to sleep in 1908, and in 1910 the Tar Baby turned the trick again, although it took him longer. In 1912 Flynn fought Jack Johnson at Las Vegas, and was an easy victim, for the big black. Since then he has been defeated by a num- Nber of fighters. including Luke Me Carthy, Gunboat Smith and Battling
