After fifteen weeks of more or less strenuous work for all concerned. the Dermott News Automobile Contest closed Monday evening. the final count being made that night at the Exchange Bank by Messrs Helmstetter. Trotter and Hoffman. who after careful count ing and recounting, and checking and rechecking to avoid all possibility of error. declared Mrs R. w.

 Mrs. (. c. Henry Is second and will be awarded the gold watch and two merchants prizes Miss Evans. who Is third, will be awarded two merchants prizes, and the remaining six mer- chants prizes will be distributed among the remaining six contestants in the order of their standing,
 Now. just word in closing the con test Our one regret IS that We have not automobiles enough To go round, and We are sorry indeed that any con testant must be disappointed But We can say without hesitation that the contest was absolutely fair and square. It was straightforward business proposition from start to finish and no sentiment or personal feeling of any kind was allowed to enter into it in any way. Every contestant was treated exactly like every other contestant, and each one had an equal chance with the others The prizes go to those who worked the hardest and were for

tunate in getting results A few but only a few long term subscriptions were turned in to the credit of each of the three leading contestants. but there was not check or cent of money in any form in the ballot box and the car was not bought. as some "kaockers" will he sure to say In fact each contestant was plainly told that We were not encouraging anyone to put up any money on sub scrIptlona. as that was not the intent of the contest. Also the selling of merchants coupons, and other question able methods which were suggested. were promptly stopped and every pre- caution taken to keep the contest fair.
 As to the results of the contest We feel that the paper. the merchants and the town have been benefited by it. Several hundred new subscribers have been added to our list, which is now on strictly paid-in- advance basis. We know that the merchants have received lots of advertising and many of them frankly state that they have enjoyed an increased volume of trade because of the coupons.
 The Orr Hardware Co. leads in the number of coupons used, having given out q total of l74l Mir. Orr says this entities him to the car
 As an advertising proposition it has also been worth good deal to the town, as We know 1t has drawn some trade and has created considerable comment of favorable sort all over the state

STATEN ISLAND
TRAFFIC DELAYED

Collision at Clifton Yesterday

Tottenville Aug. 27-Traffic on the
Tottenville division of the staten
island Rapid Transit was delayed for
about an hour Saturday afternoon pc
cause the rear coach of train No. LIZ
iumped the switch at the Main street
crossover. The front trucks OF the
coach remained on the westbound
track and the rear trucks on the
eastbound track.
Part of the railing of the fence
next to the eastbound track was
broken down by the sideswipping of
the coach. The coach, which Is one
of the train of the old out of date u.
& O. coaches used here Saturday and
Sundays was damaged and had TO pc
put on siding after 1t was pulled
back In place by an engine OF another
| train that arrived at the local termi-
nal several minutes afterward. With
the arrival of two trains after the
mishap none could get out until
about S:25 o'clock. BY this time sew
eral hundred people had gathered on
the platforms to take a train.
The first train out made but one
stop, at Great Kills, going to st
George and local followed within 9
short time. Trains coming in dis
charged their passengers at the
freight platfovm and had to wall
from there to the ferry.

tion about Gao o'clock last night
Both trains were crowded but no on

longer In service takes charge and the
other must obey his orders. This rule
applies everywhere.
In civilian life there Is time for ar
gument. You may have better ideas
than your boss about how a certain
thing should be done and possibly may
convince him and get his original or
ders changed. In army life nothing
of this kind can be permitted. The Of
f1cer In charge always has the full re-
sponsibiiity Whatever orders he gives
must be instantly obeyed. 1t is far
| better to take action, even though the
thing may not be done in the best pos,
sible way, than it is to stand still ana
debate. Lack of immediate action In
the crisis of a battle might mean that
/ tho army would be defeated, thou
! sands of lives lost, and possibly the
honor OF the country stained.
Think over this difference between
army organization and civilian orga1-
/ ization. The longer you think about
1t, the more clearly you win see why
\ your own interests demand that you
should fit into your place In the army
i and follow instructions much more
strictly than Is necessary in civil lie.
|, The army is governed by military
law This means that soldiers are
brought to trial in civil courts, excepa
for certain serious crimes, but are sub
mary courts, and eourts-martial. Howf
ever, this will never be question OF
! much Importance to the great major
} ity of men in the National Army.

Senator. ,oran, Hollis and Gore, VIII
stage determined fight this week lor
n fiat tax that will yield anywhere from
81 ooo,oOo,Oo0 to $2,000,000,000 revenue
from excess war profits.
They intend to offer first an amend
ment calling for tax of 80 per cent
which Is the tare exacted under the
British system. If that is defeated (and
the nroponents of high rates fear 1t VIII
be rejected as excessively other amend
ments are to be offered providing Tor
rs per cent, 70 per cent or 70 per cent

be accepted by the senate. If all these
rates of levy are voted down the rahi'
Gals intend Offering a scale OF grauua''
ed taxes that will run from IL per cent
(the lowest tax as now fixed In the
revenue bilD up to 60 or 20 per cent
instead of stopping at 30 per cent as
the bill now stands.
The struggle over war profits Is ex
pected to begin Wednesday ana VII
last at least two days. Senator Boraf
said that the advocates of higher taxes
did not want to waste time in reacnini
a decisive vote. They merely wante'
ample debate, he said, and then YOU
that would quickly dispose OF I'M

| Senator Borah and Senator Simmons
chairman of the finance committee

floor, believe the bill will be nnali
voted upon by Saturday night.
Senator Borah admitted that thus ia
only thirty supporters of a drastic ad
vance In profits taxes were assureo "n
that they might be outvoted by the D
| partisan majority. Senator simmoh
felt confident, he said, that the tax
fixed by the finance committee could .
accepted and the levy remain I'll
