which resulted in the ruling, and real izing that without organization any protest they might make would be in- effective, measures to bring about as- sociation were at once undertaken. The result was the meeting here and the formation of the American Tractor association.
 Without going into the details of the meeting, which were marked by more or less heated expressions of private opinion and during which allegations were made which hardly will be jusu- fled by the facts, suffice it to say that the formation of a national association was determined upon, utilization with which will be offered to all manufac- turers of tractors and parts in the country, as well as to trade and class publications interested in the develop ment of the tractor industry.
 It was decided to call this new asso- citation the American Tractor associa- tion and to appoint 8 committee to so to Washington to present the conten- ton of the members that substantial justice had been denied them and to secure, if possible, a modification of the ruling of the priorities division which should permit them to go ahead with the plans already under way for an increased production of tractors during 19l9.-Motor Age.

COMFORT IN WINTER
 FUR NIGHT DRIVERS

The greater number of car owners will need to operate their vehicles this winter more than ever before, and un- less adequate preparation is made night driving will be just one North Pole experience after another. Willie there are number of things which need attention, no other is so import ant immediately as the installation of devices for keeping the driver and passengers warm even in an open car fitted with side curtains. Now is the time to get ready, because as the cooler weather comes on it will be more difficult to get help in installing the heating device, and further it is anticipated the prices of the devices will be higher.

TRACTOR MAKERS DECLARE WAR LIN
 PR|0R|T|ES RULE

CHICAGO, Nov. War to the death to save a growing industry from practically annihilation is the slogan t... rA tNo score tractor manufacturers and parts manufacturers adopted here W Melncsd5y when they formed the A unrican Trctor association. Manu- faciurers of tractors-those with new design in process of development, thosc with designs but without manu- fscfuring facilities, those whose plants at ithis time merely are assembling uiants, those who have developed their designs but who did not expect to get llt2 large development until 1913, some of Chose who have been producing fair E Feil during the last year or two all these who see their business thrtatcned with destruction or serious culTailment through the ruling of the prlersccs division of the war indus triA board are organizing to put up a nght for business life. Joined with thefn are the manufacturers of parts cu&nes, transmissions, ignition and luhfication devices, concerns which nave large contracts for future deliv- crye to these smaller tractor concerns and who have made factory enlarge ments to meet these demands and who sees these increased facilities rendered futile if the decision stands. The pro- test which these manufacturers will make will be voiced through the American Tractor association, which stafts off with a charter membership of Thirty concerns.
 Committee to Capital
 A representative committee has been appointed 10 go to Washington to pre- sent the case of the tractor and parts manufacturers in the endeaYor to, se- cure a resembling or a modification of the recent ruling which will permit the companies concerned to live and to de- Nelop their industries. Demand will be made that the weaker interests in Inc tractor industry be given represen- tation upon the war industries board m order that the needs of an essential and growing industry shall receive proper recognition.
 Behind all this is a settled convic- ton in the minds of many of the smaller manufacturers of tractors and uarts makers that there is a ''nigger in the woodpile" somewhere, and while unavowed officially, there is neverthe- less concealed in the formation of the new association an organized protest against an alleged domnancy of the
 
 vision and of the farm implements committee of the National Implement sn nd Vehicle association by powerful farm equipment and tractor manufac- turing interests in whose advantage it would be, it is alleged, to choke off de- velonment Of new tractor manufactur- ing companies.
 Immediately the ruling of the priori- ties division of the war industries board placing a restriction of 25 per cent on the amount of iron and steel which tractor manufacturers would be allowed for 1919 production was issued by the farm implements committee, the smaller tractor manufacturers and the manufacturers of parts sensed disas- ter to their growing businesses and at once they began to agitate for a modi- fication of the ruling. Believing they had not been adequately represented at the conference at Washington,

LAST YEAR
FOR GERMAN
This is Recommendation of Stat

Superintendcnts OF
Iowa.

les MONIES, Feb. 1S.-The teach
ing Of German in the high schools L
touched upon by State Superintend
ent A. NJ. Deyoe IN a letter just for
warded to county school superintend
ents. He declares that we nave
found by experience that the exaltinG
of the German nation and the kaiser
in the text boots has not been CON
ducive to developing loyal citizenshlp
in this country, but says 1t will De
best not to discontinue the teaching
of German until the end OF the school
year
Considerable objection has been
raised to the teaching of German 10
the high schools" says the state suI
perintendent. 1.-THE character OF the
text books quite generally in use Y
the foundation for such disapproVa1
of the German language, especially az
this time and justly so.
1--WE have found out by experience
that exalting the German nation and
the kaiser in the text books of our
schools has not been conducive of del
veloping loyal United States citizen
ship. However, the department adj
vises, and we believe in accordance
with the recommendations of the
state council of defense, that it Will
be best not to discontinue the use OF
German until the close of the year
when classes may receive credit fo'
all work
TRANSACTIONS of American master
pieces, of patriotic addresses and NE
erature should be used hereafter M
stead of text books that laud the Ger
man autocracy.'
Superintendent Deyoe calls atten|
ton to the week of February IL 'G|
%, which is the national week OF
song. 1t is proposed on the evening
of February %. at 500 o'clock, al
citizens of the state, wherever as|
sembled, rise and sing all four verses
of my Country IT'S OF Thee 1t n
also suggested that all programs o.|
that evening close with the sinslnS|
of "The Star Spangled Banner.
LET the schools regularly conduc..|
lessons in civic duty and patriotism,
declared Superintendent Deyoe. tina.
our girls and boys may grow UP Will
a proper appreciation of what
means to be an American May lh'
flag floating over every school hous'
in the land, be an inspiration to then
to prepare for useful and loyal cif
zenship."

WHERE PARENTS FAIL.

ST. Paul Pioneer-Press: Dr.. A. e.
jerks, professor of sociology at the
university of Minnesota, is advocat-
ing more careful and systematic
training for the children of America.
In a recent lecture before the grade
teachers Of ST. Paul he made the
statement that American children
are notorious as the worst behaved
children on earth"
AS to whether or not American
children are the worst behaved on
earth, there might be some question:
but it Is well known fact that in
many Of our American homes the be-
havior of the children is such that it
would be difficult to imagine what it
would be like if 1t were any worse.
1t certainly is to be deplored that in
SO many homes the children are not
taught at least the first principles OF
obedience, orderliness and consider
alton.
These children, while they will have
to take eventually the unfortunate
consequences Of such a home en-
vironment, are not really in any way
TO blame. Their lives, as children,
are just what their parents have
bred into them. Those parents,
ignorance. Incidence or a
mushy sentimentaltsm, allow, and
often encourage by example If not by
the misbehavior OF those for
whom nature and law have made
them responsible.
The proper home training of child,
however, is an extraordinary under
taking. especially when it is added
TO a world of other duties, and all
credit should be given to the fathers
and mothers who succeeded in doing
well the task in which, ac-
cording to DR.. jerks. SO many of our
American parents fail
