production exceeded that OF 1915 by
approximately 20 per cent, and II Is
still more significant that right now
used cars OF all makes and classes are
selling briskly at prices representing
an advance OF from 10 per cent to 90
per cent over what the same cars
were selling for a year ago.
"lt is at least doubtful whether
production will again get back to nor
NAL before the end Of the war. II 1t
does not, we may look forward with
the utmost confidence to an oversOld
market forl the remainder OF the CON
hict. The grea; middle class-includ-

make up the bulk OF the buyers of

fore been able to AFFORD. and that's
exactly what they are doing.
Personally, I am extremely opti-
mistic over the outlook for the auto

date present. The prosperity OF the

course; but Il Is limited not by natural

 Tbus thought the Womens Writers club as they were shown the nhanip u.ation of thousands of wires which convey their messages for miles anu miles.
 During the period of the spring months this club has voted to Write less, but see more, and know more of things going on in our city-thus they have started on a campaign twice n month around the place in which we live. Just why they chose the teie- phone first, cannot be decided uhlesS they had heard before of the splen- did hospitality of MT. George hnoA' MT. Steadman and their cordial as sistants. Just how MT. Knox has es- caped presiding over some nome VIII hereafter always be mystery to the members of the Writers club. He so well understands the art of. making one glad they came-knowing Mrs Steadman as we do. it was no guess work about MT. Steadman.
 It Is mighty hard to talk about wires when there was so much splen- did work being operated by human hands. Three hundred and thirty-three operators, total of 400 employees each live wire. In order to under stand the wonderful mechanism of this plant we must give you figures There are 16,000 phones in the city. manipulated over 2S,000 wires. In or der to communicate even with your next door neighbor the phone way, there are 1141 contacts-any one prin- cipal out of repair would give you the "out of service you shake your fist at sometimes. Think of it, and we often wish to murder the operator for the offense. We learned there is an average of 250e0 lines busy each day-and about 100000 calls in the period 1500 parties hang up after ceiling their number before the oper ator can possibly give connection, and a vast number of these request "to speak to the manager" to right things.
 There are no words to express our surprise to find such network of wires behind the board-there are 40,- 900 miles of wire in our local cable and 21,000.o00 miles of wire in the United States telephone apparatus. So you may easily see how hard it is to stop talking about the vital parts of a wonderful machine-one that serves the world in such a capacity-and just to think again a woman was the prime factor in this wonderful inven- ton-Mr. Bell had 8 deaf wife, he either was anxious to entertain her, or tired of saying the same thing over again and again--we must give him credit for being anxious to render splendid service, or he never could have been inspired to accomplish such a wonderful world work as the sound ing of a human voice across the con tirent.

 It appes.s that the former German ambassador and his principal aids fig ured in the plot The former German consuls at Honolulu and Manila were also implicated. Both of these men pleaded guilty recently of participation in plot to establish a revolutionary government in India.
 A German secret agent, who was known by number similar to a submarine. aided in the transmission of these mes sages, and advised the German govern ment of the sailing time of vessels. The captains diary reveals these secrets. After its discovery the captain was court -martialed and is now in solitary confinement pending his removal to Fort Douglas. Utah.
