commends War Preparations.

There are those who have said that
the preparations made by the United
States are proceeding slowly and halt
ingly. and that a country which has
been in the war for some forty days
ought to have done far more than has
actually been accomplished. For my
own part I think those who speak in
the actual way in which public life is
and must be carried on in free coun-
tries. At the beginning of the forty
days of which I speak no Preparations
had been made, the country was anx-
iously. indeed, watching the events. it
had not begun to make any of the
preparations necessary for taking part
in a gigantic struggle.
Il think that what has been per-
formed In those forty days is most re-
markable. 1t is quite true that the ac-
ton of the executive government may
be delayed, and has been delayed,
by the fact that certain meas
ures placed befo1e Congress took
some time to pass, some of them have
not yet passed. But I have lived with
representative assemblies all my life,
and who is it that supposes that repre-
sentative assemblies are going to make
great and new departures in public
policy solely at the waving of a wand?
Such expectations are vain. It is use
less to entertain them.
Il am quite confident-I, perhaps, feel
who has had no personal experience of
American politics should feel-but.
speaking for myself, I feel quite con-
fldent that Congress will not refuse to
the President and the government of the
country all powers, great as they are,
which are absolutely necessary II the
war, is to be successfully pursued.

Works Eoth Ways,

An experience of the famous humor-
list, Bill Nye. with ii Chicago bank is
related. A stranger in the city. he ask
ed to have n check cashed. The teller
demanded that he he identified. After
some searching the humorist found an
acquaintance who was known also by
the bank officials. Nyes check for a
considerable sum was cashed. The tell
or, who in the meantime had been in
troduced to the applicant, took the lib
erty of recommending to him, as a mat
ter of prudence, that he redeposit such
part of the cash in his possession as he
did not need for his immediate use. His
friend Endorsed this advice. But Nye
hesitated, seemed TO be thinking deeply
and finally said All right, but this

HUPP SUCCESS
BUILT ON MOTOR
Latest Hupp Engne Has Rigid
ity of Crankshaft and
CamShaft
BY ID. II CARRIER.

The Hupp Corporation continues to
build four cylinder motors exclusive
ly. The question often is asked Hup-
mobile statesmen: How do you get
such phenomenal performance from q
four-cylinder motor?" The answer is
that the Hupp engineers have devel-
oped what practically amounts to a
new type of motor.
The basic principles of a wonder
fully efficient four-cylinder racing
motor have been adapted to touring
car practice. The latest Hupmobile
motor has rigidity of crankshaft and
camshaft and the lightnesS of pistons,
connecting rods, valves and valve tap
pets characteristic of the racing motor.
1t has the same high quality of mater
ials and Workmanship and the same
careful fitting and adjustment.
Carburetion and ignition are of
equal quality. The special system of
fabrication gives as plentiful and as
well distributed a supply of oil as do
the complicated systems of the racing
motors.
AS we do not require as great power
for touring cars as for racing motors,
the diameter is limited and the lift
of the valves and their time of open
ing and closing reduces the amount of
gas taken into the cylinders at high
speeds
This limits the power at high speeds
and increases it at low speeds. The
result is what we might call a "re-
strained motor, a motor which has
the power at low speed and in hill
climbing which is usually associated
with 80 horsepower engines, and
which has at all speeds and under al
conditions that eXhilarating sense of
doing its work easily.

them for market purposes.
The splendid prices secured for
