Robit's comment on President

ton in regard to it has been
made by the government. A
statement will, however, be
made in the Chamber of Dep

at that time.
United States Ambassador
Sharp called at the Foreign
Office last night and was re-
ceived by Premier Ribot and
Jules Cambon, Secretary Gener-
al of the Foreign Office.
Although to certain extent
discounted. President Wilson'S
address to Congress has made an
enormous impression in France.
The numerous vague and some
times contradictory forecasts
and rumors as to its probable
contents, published continuously
during the past few weeks, had
served more than anything else
to sharpen expectation. Conse-
quently the message itself came
almost with the force of novelty.
and the joy of the press is un-
bounded.
The message fulhlls the widest
hopes of France. The front pas
sages of the principal newspaper
organ are entirely given up to
it, and portraits and eulogistic
pen pictures of President Wilson
are published under such head
ings as "a Great Citizen"
President Wilson'S message, F"
says the Matin, ''is a logical Sc.
quence of the attitude he has
maintained firmly for more than
two years. 1t will cause a pro-
found sensation in the world"
AMERICAS PURPOSE.
The Petit Parisien says:
America enters the struggle
not in order to satisfy territorial
appetite, but to defend the
rights of humanity. Her recog-
Dized aud positive disinterested-
ness accentuates and makes clear
the character of the war which
all the democracies henceforth
associated are making upon i'm
perialism and despotism."
In the Figaro Alfred Capus
says:
''This memorable date marks
the moment when the whole
world realizes the deeper mean
ing of the war of 1914 and the
impossibility of living freely OF
an earth with powerful, armed
Germany. 1t will be a glory t
the United States of America tt
have embodied universal senti
ment, and forsaking the role o.
spectator, to have entered the
struggle to free the peoples o.
the world from the continued
menace which a nation grown
monstrous has imposed upor
them. President, Wilson will
share the honor with his country
and will leave his name in.

PAID GOVERNMENT HUNTERS.

The national government has at vari.
Gus times employed hunters TO kill of

hunters have been paid through the win

deal of a humanitarian furore when II
was proposed that anyone should be al
lowed in the park with guns, after FIRE
arms had been excluded for so many
years. But the big carnivorae increased
even faster under protection than has the
other game, and threatened the deer. and
elk with determination. The government
also employs hunters in some of the na-
tional forests, where the paid grazing
business Is of great value and is in jeop.

AUTO statesmen PLAN
FOR Spring BUSINESS
Prospects Bright for a Great Selling
Season.

Spring is but two months away and the
wise dealer Is already laying his plans
Tor the active selling season which starts
at that time. The country is in more
prosperous condition than 1t has ever
peen, the election is over, and there VIII
De no change In the political party In
power; farmers have been educated TO
conditions are more favorable for big
selling season
Manufacturers have foreseen this con-
dition and as far back as last summer
laid their plans to make the most of 1t.
The cars are being built and 1t Is now
up 10 the dealer to market them. Busi-
ness eniciency has proven that best re-
suits in marketing can be obtained by
appointing a reliable man in one Of the
larger cities as distributor and alloting
him goodly portion of surrounding ter
ritory. so much as he can work thor
oushly and no more. This dealer in turn
appoints subdealers, but why they
should be so termed is Hard to say. rath-
er they should be called dealers and the
man they work under, distributor. II
Is by means of these outlets that the
bulk Of the cars are cold.
Time was when It was thought neces-
sary to have several States before a dis
tributer could really be considered having
territory enough to work. That day is
no more. Experience has shown that in
cases of this kind 1t was well nigh impos-
sible to give the attention to all the terri
tory which 1t should have. In fact, one
of the largest manufacturers of motor
cars in the country today does not give
its distributor even half a State. They
limit him to half a dozen counties. It
depends entirely upon the population. To
assist him in properly working this small
territory he is given the assistance of a
factory man. The entire territory Is gone
over with a fine-tooth comb and every
person that is a possible prospect for a
motorcar is reached. The results attain
ed have been very satisfactory. They
have proven the factory's contention that
1t is not necessary to reach out far from
home to develop a big business; the ter
ritory adjacent will prove fertile II prop
|erly cultivated.
1t is now. just before the breaking of
spring, that the distributor checks up on
his prospect list, makes a note of those
who intend purchasing in the spring, of
those who said that their present ma
chine was good enough for some time
yet, and. finally. OF those who only ex-
pressed passing interest in the car To
all of these he first mails some literature
bearing on the essential points OF his car
that he plans will most particularly ap-
peal to each one OF them. In about ten
days this first letter is followed UP with
second, and in about a weeks time a
third is mailed to them. A salesman fol-
lows and finds that his prospect Is al
ready familiar with the car through the
literature received. II he is at all inter-
ested in a car the securing of the order
Is but little trouble

DOES YOUR AUTO like
MUD? Then GIVE EAR!
Here Are Some Tips on Bathing Your
Machine After Rough Trip.

cars should be washed shortly after
they come in from trip, 30 that any
mud which has collected on them may
not have chance to harden. If the
car Is dusty when II is to be washed
1t may be wiped of with dry cloth to
remove the dust. Then the body, wheels,
ETC.. are washed with the hose to re-
move all material soluble in water.
Next the washer goes over any parts
showing grease or other accommodations
mat were not removed by the hose and
applies soap suds to them with a
sponge which he holds in one hand,
while with the other he applies the
hose to wash off the suds and the ma
terial dissolved by them. Finally the
BODY, wheels, etc. ARE rinsed all over
with the hose and dried with a chamois
skin. In this way the soap remains
In contact with the varnish only for a
very short time. and all traces of the
soap are rinsed of. SO all danger OF in
jurtng the finish Is eliminated
Special automobile. soaps containing no
free alkali must be used for wash
ing cars as the ordinary soaps are very
injurious to the varnish. To make the
soap suds warm water Is used, as the
soap dissolves more readily in this.
Even the best soap does not improve
the Varnish OF a car. and soap suds
should therefore be used sparingiy. As
rule, only the running gear and tenders
need to be sponged with the soap
solution, and the body washed only with
clean water Under no condition should
soap solution be applied to a vanished
surface when hot, as. for instance. the
engine bonnet when the engine has Just
been stopped. The varnish Is then in a
softened condition and mora susceptfhle
to attack by impurities in the soap.
Most accumulations on the finished sur
faces Of automobiles that cannot be re-
moved by water are soluble in kerosene
and gasoline, and unsophisticated per-
sons sometimes use these liquids for
cleaning car bodies. However, kerosine
and gasoline are solvents of varnish and
are very injurious to the finish of cars.
Hence they should never be used II i'm
portance is attached to preserving the IN
ish Of the car.
The most troublesome material that
washers have to deal with is road tar or
road oil, now largely used to render roads
dustless. From these surfaces the tar
and mud may be removed with a putty
knife. Some recommend the use OF un-
salted butter, which, applied to the stains
will dissolve the tar and permit II To
be removed with a cloth. Another prep
aration recommended for removing tai
and similar stains consists of ten part
OF raw linseed oil, two parts OF olive oil
and one part OF vinegar mixed together
to which is added one tablespoonful OF
turpentine per pint Tar stains must b
removed Immediately after they are form.
ed, otherwise It is difficult to deal with
them. There are a number OF prepara.
tions on the market for removing such
stains

Nu. ne4~s
Dinosaur of Ancient Days
Mere Pygmy by Side OF the
Blue Whale of Modern Times

It has been said that the first duty
of a whale is to be large-the blue
whale is, then, the most successful
whale, for it is the largest creature
which has ever existed on the earth or
in it's waters. Even those extinct giant
REPTILES. the dinosaurs, which splashed
along the borders of the inland seas or
wyoming and Montana 100000 years
ago. could not approach a blue whale
either in length or weight, declares
a writer in the New York Independent.
In 1903 blue whale was weighed
in sections in Newfoundland. The AMI
NAL was rs feet long, 80 feet around
the shoulders, the head was ID feet
in length and the tail six feet from tip
To fin. The total weight was 90 tons.
The flesh weighed 40 tons, the blubber
eight tons. the blood, viscera and baleen
seven tons and the bones eight tons.
Exaggerated accounts of the size OF
blue whales are current even in repu-
table hooks on natural history, but the
largest specimen which has yet been
actually measured and recorded is 1877
feet long. stranded few years ago
unon the coast of New Zealand; it
must have weighed at least rs tons.

ventilating system.
The opening of windows while it
admits the fresh air, often causes
drafts which are uncomfortable, not
people are occupied in a room it is
often a cause of subjecting one or two
to exposure if the windows are opened
to secure ventilation. This can be
avoided by an ample supply Of warm
ed air.
Numerous devices, more or less ex-
pensive, have been placed on the mar
ket but are not always satisfactory.
time probably the most efficient ven-
tilating device is one made of glass or
wood eight or ten inches in height and
made the width of the sash. This
should be placed under the sash with
a slant from the bottom to the top at
an angle of 45 degrees, leaving IN
opening at the top covered with cheese
cloth.
Ventilators of this sort are so SIM
pie that they can be made at small
cost anywhere and the covering can be
readily replaced. They are suitable
for office and school room, living
rooms and bed rooms. They permit
reasonable ventilation without too
great loss of heat and prevent that
STIFFNESS of atmosphere which is dam
gerous to health and destructive to
real comfort during the winter months
This device leaves an opening between
the upper and lower sash through
which the used air of the room may
escape.
