War Argument Raised.

Dr. Shaw declared that the opposition
to the federal amendment had reduced
itself to the statement that the exten-
sion Of suffrage at this time to large
body IL Inexperienced voters. endowed
with a largely developed sympathy for
human suffering, would tend to weaken
the prosecution of the war and lead to
a speedy and iH-s.dvised peace.
1T is undoubtedly true" she said, in
part, that the majority of women are
endowed by nature with great sym
pathy with human suffering, but it is
also true they are endowed with the
knowledge that in the present war
greater suffering would result from an
iIl-advised peace than from such
termination Of hostilities as would
make 1t forever impossible that like
suffering should visit the world again

$500 POUNDS OF
IRON CASTINGS
BY PARCEL POST

Dealers in rare fineries, buying their
wares from all quarters of the world,
many times bring their purchases
back with them in trunks and cases.
This method seems entirely appro-
pirate to- the merchandising OF ex-
pensive and often fragile laces, silks,
etc, but it certainly Is unusual to give
such distinction to metal automobile
parts.
However, such d the case At ape
automobile factory at least. The
Franklin Automobile company, manu-
facturers Of the Franklin air-cooled
car, almost every day receives trunks
and suit cases filled with parts which
were made in places many miles from
the Franklin factory At Syracuse, N.
Y. Transportation difficulties due to
the war, have been felt most keenly
by the automobile industry, and every
device is used in order to get raw
materials and parts with regularity
that will maintain steady production
Of finished cars. /
Shipments by special delivery parcel
post are also much used and large
quantities Of heavy materials are re-
reived in that way. One manufacturer
Of parts was at first much surprised to
receive from the Franklin company
IN order for $500 pounds OF more of
malleable iron castings by parcel post
special delivery, and telegraphed quite
promptly to find out whether some
mistake had not been made. But this
time, however, it has become rather
a common occurrence; in fact, one
spark plug manufacturer now sends
1000 spark plugs every week in parcel
post quantities.

The week beginning May 5 will be

and western Iowa. During this week.
distributors, dealers. statesmen and
factory representatives will put forth
a special effort to bring the sturdy
little Chevrolet into still greater
prominence. :.
This method of arousing added
enthusiasm has beeen adopted sue
cessfully by numerous Chevrolet dis
tributors and dealers in various sec
tons of the country and now the or
ganizations in Nebraska and west
ern Iowa are having their fling.
Exhibits Its Power.
Az indicated by the little touring
car in the picture, the car itself has
exerted an extra effort in recognition
of Chevrolet week by going over
Omaha's steepest grade in high gear.
The Pierce street hill is the so-called
"tad one" among Omaha motor en-
thusiasts and has been the Waterloo
for scores of cars much higher in
price than the Chevrolet. The turn
into this hill is right angle turn,
which eliminates the possibility Of
taking a runaway start. From a
yery slow start the little Chevrolet
pulled over the crest in high gear
three times and was ready for still
more,
i Big Manufacturing Facilities.
The Chevrolet manufacturers have
in these sturdy little cars solved the
quantity production problem and the
product is strong evidence of success.
The facilities for manufacturing Chew
rolet models are said to be second to
none Their manufacturing units are
located at various points in the
United States, which greatly facili-
tates expedient handling of shipments
md assemblage. Among the larger
units are the plants at Flint, Mich;
Tarrytown, N. Y; St. Louis, Mo-;
Atlanta, Ga; Bay City, Mich; Toledo,
O.; Pontiac, Mich; Oakland, CAL;
Fort Worth, Tex; Kansas City. Mo-;
Minneapolis, Mimi, and Oshawa,
Canada.
1t is interesting to note, too, In con-
nection with this large company
there is no preferred stock issued and
no bonded Indebtedness.
Both R. w. Hayward Of The Nc
Intyre-Hayward Motor company and
Joe A. Elfred, who were instrumental
in promoting Chevrolet week in this
section, are satisfied that it will create
much enthusiasm.

New Marmon Sedan Arrives;
Coach Work Includes Chances

A brand new Marmon model put in
its appearance last week and is
heralded under the name Of Marmon
four-door sedan. 1t is 4 departure in
many respects from the customary
appearance of the sedan.
The most noticeable feature is the
low hung body. The ceiling of the
new model is considerably lower than
is usual. However, the inside dimen-
tions are just a. large. The floor Is
built lower. The new body is design
by the Willoughby company of Utica,

Among the feature of the interior
are wide arm rests, a tasteful gray
finish, frosted ceiling lights. winding
window lifts and compartments fol
odds and ends. The metal parts or
the interior are finished in dull gray

They harmonize very nicely with the

Keep Distilled Water in
Batteries, Saws This Expert

No part of an automobile shows
more quickly the effect of abuse than
the storage battery, and each particu-
lar form of abuse has its definite sign,
according to Elmer Rosengren, local
Willard Service man. "A man comes
into us with a battery which he says
is practically new and which he thinks
he has given the best Of attention,
but he says it will not hold the charge.

Conservation Of Tires
Economic Necessity Now

"Due to the curtailment of the i'm
portation of crude rubber, which the
government is going to put on the
restricted list, there will, no doubt, be
a shortage of automobile tires in the
very near future" said Henry Ny
gard Of the Omaha Tire Repair COM
pany. =.
"The automobile owners should do
all that they can to keep the tires,
which they have at the present time,
repaired when needed, and also keep
from abusing their tires, >such as run
ming fat, under inflated and dozen
other things which shorten the life
Of the tire, in order that they might
help preserve the present stocks Of
tires"

The battery has told ~ the whole

The battery has told us the whole
story. The owner might have thought
that he was treating it carefully when
he did not use it to run the automo-
bile or when he was practicing econ
omy of current in starting and light
ing. But he has never filled it with dis
titled water. The water in the bat
terry has evaporated; only the lower
half of the plates had been exposed to
the action Of the electrolyte. The ca
pacity of the battery naturally has
been cut in two and the upper halt Of
the plates ruined. No wonder that it
wouldn't hold the charge"

MACKENSEN TO RESCUE
AUSTRO-GERMAN REMNANTS

Geneva, Oct. 10.-A Vienna dis
patch received here says that Ger
man Field Marshal Mackensen has
arrived in Old Serbia, not to aid the
Bulgarians, but in order to save the
remnants OF the Austro-German
forces. which the allies are closely
following toward the Danube.
The Bulgarians refused to obey
the German officers.
The dispatch adds that the Aus
trians are evacuating Belgrade and
that as the Serbians advance the
whole Serbian population is taking
its revenge. Even women with rifles
are driving out their former oppres-
sors. The women have suffered SO
much that 1t is difficult to restrain
them.

BY AN AUTOMOBILE

Ashland, Oct. 1O.-In recording

dent, the long-expected has happen
ed on local streets. Miss Mary Kir-
schbaum was the victim and the ira
gedy occurred on Tuesday afternoon
about O'Clock, near the First Ma
tfonal bank corner. Bert Hawkes.
was the driver of the car which was
in the jitney service. He was going
east and Miss Kirschbaum was eros
sing the street at that point. She
was seen to hesitate after leaving
the curb. Hawkes. also slowed his
car, taking it for granted she would
wait until he passed. With an evil
IDENTIFY mistaken idea on the part of
both. Miss Kirschbaum attempted to
hurry across, was struck by the car
and dragged some distance, being
fatally injured. She was taken into
Poley's drug store. and lived about
half an hour after the accident. Con-
cussion OF the brain and internal in
juries are attributed as the cause of
death.
Miss Kirschbaum was 50 years Of
age, and had resided in Ashland for
over ten years. She had lately rent
ed the family residence on Mob Hill
and removed to Iowa street. She was
a sister of Henry c. Kirschbaum who

to output and the price as follows:
We are OF the opinion that the
domestic chromite will be consumed
and purchased during the first half
OF 1919 at rate proportIonate to
the 1918 production. II would be
impossible to announce price
schedule at this time for 1919, as
are very uncertain. II Is
also hoped that the trade will take
on the market. during the remain
der OF 1918, the ore that is offered
at the advertised price OF the Cali
fornia Chrome company, and that
has prevailed during the summer OF
1918. The buyers OF chrome ore
are being asked to purchase freely
at this time, TO consume the ore now
being offered. although It is true
that the stocks on hand are fairly
large. II is doubtless to be part
OF the program that the imports will
be reduced to the lowest possible
amount during the next several
and restrictions as to the
use OF chromite will be removed. In
fact they have already been removed
so that the consumption OF chromite
VIII probably increase. We believe
that the situation will straighten IT.

northern portion OF the town.
Since August 21 the British first

series OF deep defensive zones built
up with successive belts of heavily
fortified trench lines, including the
entire Hindenburg system on front
OF over 35 miles from st. Quentin to
Arras. Having penetrated this bat
tie area to a depth OF between 80
and 40 miles. our troops are now
operating far beyond and east Of the

"In the process OF these operations
and since the date mentioned we
have inflicted very heavy losses on
the enemy in killed and wounded
and have taken over 10000 pris-
oners and 1900 guns.
This feat of arms has been per-
formed by British troops who had
already withstood the first heaviest
onslaught of the enemy's main forces
in the spring. Only the endurance
and determined spirit OF these troops
permitted them to pass to the often
sive with such conspicuous success.
BY their heroic action in defense and
attack the men from all parts OF the
