1000 Over-Strength

But the greatest Mitchell feature
is the doublestrength in every vital
part. Three years ago we doubled our
margins of safety. We made parts
larger stronger and of better steels.
We established radical tests.
The result today is lifetime car,
with repair cost reduced IS per cent.

Appeals to Women

Our bodies are designed by Mitchell
experts, so each type is exclusive.
They are built in our own new body
plant. This saves a large sum per car.
And that whole saving goes into extra
luxury and beauty. SO Mitchells are
the handsomest cars you see at any
modest price.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-09-27

To keep them new we use heat
fixed finish. The luster is deep and
enduring.
We use extra-grade leather and
deep cushion springs. We use long
whcelbase to give ample room.
There are handles for entering.

The convertible models S Sedan

ideas in luxurious all-season cars.
The Coupe, Town Car and Limou-
sine are studies in artistic body build
ing. Our designers have combined
here all the best ideas developed

STRAW VOTE FATORS
BONE DRY VICTORY
World Canvasses House-Finds Chances
Against Suffrage Amendment
Passing.

Washington, Dec. ia test poll ot
| the House of Representatives whief
shows that national prohibition amend
ment has a chance to pass, while the ma,
tional equal suffrage amendment is ap'
parently doomed to failure, has Just been
completed by the New York World.
Both these amendments are scheduled
TO come before the House some time this
month. The straw ballot in the House
on the two amendments shows:
For national prohibition, 220; against
it, So; non.committal or absent, l2S; !;
and one vacancy.
For national woman suffrage III;
against it. II; non-commttal or alb.
sent, l52, and one vacancy
1t requires a two-thirds vote OF the
quorum present to adopt resolution
providing for constitutional amend
ment. If all members are present. it
will require 300 votes to pass either
From this the World argues that ma
tion-wide prohibition hangs in the bal
anee while equal suffrage is apparently
lost at this time, pending further edu-
cation and proselyting of Legislators.
Beth amendments are likely to be de-
feated.
