Now In Two Sizes

This year we bring out Mitchell
Junior. So you can get the Mitchell
standards in two sizes, at two prices.
Mitchell Junior is a 5-passenger
car. Yet it has a 120-inch wheelbase
and 4O-horsepower motor. All the
room and power you need in car
for five. And more than most such
cars.
See these two sizes with all their
new improvements, their various
styles of bodies. See the extra fea.
lures, extra strength and beauty. You
will want these things in your car.
Please come now if you want spring
delivery. The Mitchell factory is
already far behind.

strain are built OF Chrome-Vanadium.
Gears are tested for $4,000 pounds

There are many, many ways in
which Mtchells differ from other cars.
They have many features which
other cars omit. All are paid for
by factory savings, due to John w.
Bate.
They have bodies built in our own
plant, from our own exclusive models.
They have luxurics and beauties
which are rare. We have lately added
"a per cent to the cost of finish, up
holstery and trimming. And the saw
ings made in this new body plant
pay it all.

They Cost $4,O0O,OOO

These Mitchell extras, on this years
output, will cost us $4,O0O,00O. Just
for features which others 60 without.
They would be impossible, at Nit.
Chell prices, without our factory eff
cheney. This whole plant has been
built and equipped to build this one
type economically. Millions have
been spent, under John w. Bate, to
cut our factory cost in two.
The result is, fine cars built for less
than anyone else could build them.
See how much less. The Mitchell
extras show you.

Things you want, but which most

February Makes Record
For Veie Automobiles

Up to last year 1t has been considered
an inherent factor of the automobile in
dustry that buyers should wait until
spring to place their orders. and that
they should store their cars away with
the first approach of winter months.
In the one case the purchaser was
compelled to wait ofttimes until the sea-
son was we'll along Before his car was
delivered to him. In the other. some
of the most pleasant and invigorating
motoring of the year was lost altogether.
But with the development of the auto
mobile industry has come a change In
the habits Of the USER Now. he places
his order as unhesitatingly in the win
ter months as in the spring or summer
and as a result benefits through prompt
delivery.
Absolute evidence of this fact Is shown
in the deliveries of Velie ''Biltwel' Skies
the last three months. usually the lightest
of the year from the standpoint Of ship
ments. December, January and February
have proved the largest months in the
history Of the Velie Company with Feb
ruary Gaping the climax with a smash
ing record.

All who investigated the results obtain

greatly increases the voltage with slight

.ORATORIO society
To GIVE FESTIVAL
Samson" Fair Ellen" and "Phaud.

Developing oratorio on a scale not here
tofore attempted in Washington, the
Washington Oratorio Society. founded IN
1912, is beginning to filr a long-felt want
in local musical circles. It will render at
its spring festival, taking place two even
ings in Easter week. Handers Samson" "
Fair Ellen" by Bruch, and "Phaudrtg
Crohoore," by Stamford.
Almost every city of the size Of WASH
ington. and many smaller, maintain mu-
sical organizations, vocal and instrumen-
tai. which are so thoroughly established
and appreciated as to be regarded as per-
manent institutions. Washington, how
ever. has long lacked such an organiza-
tion for the production and enjoyment of
oratorio.
Henry n. Freeman, organist and choir
master OF st. Johns Church, and presi-
dent Of the OratoriO Society. states: 'tIt
is our aim to make Washington, as 1t
of the term. This is being accomplished
by the generous cooperation OF the go
members of the society who are lending
their talent and enlisting others. In a
city of this size we should have a chorus
of not less than 500 voices. and we are
aiming to bring the society to this
strength. The cooperation Of the High
School Orchestra of seventy pieces in ac-
companying the chorus is a decided ad-
vantage and more effective than the usual
piano and organ accompaniment.
These features" continued Mr.. Free
man, combined with the efficient leader

not fail to spark, or in other words, the
spark is hotter and will go through
any amount of carbon. grease. oil, and

AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE

Exports Steadily Increase Despite OBJ

Last year the American automobile
industry maintained its record OF ex-
panding, despite unexpected obstacles.
During the year Great Britain and italy
prohibited the importation OF, automo-
biles and France raised the duty on
them to 10 per cent. Freight conges-
ton at Russian ports made It almos,
impossible to ship cars and trucks to
that country except for government use.
At the same time. ocean freight rates
were abnormally high, and cargo space
to Europe and the Far East was very
dificult to get.
Despite these obstacles. which cut on
most of the European market for private
motor cars-the best previous market OF
the American industry-the United States
exported last year so.S50 motor vehicles,
