ASKS DISSOLUTION OF
KNIGHTS OF INDUSTRY

District Attorney Laslcey for the
Government today filed suit against
the Knights OF Industry, a fraternal
beneficial association, asking the
court to order its dissolution and to
wind up its affairs because the con-
cern is "hOpelessly insolvent and pub,
lie interest requires its immediate dis
solution"
Laskey says the knights were in
corpOrated in the District in Septem-
Der, 1913, as Knights OF Agriculture.
The name later was changed.
The district attorney says that the
officers OF the association are con
vinced that its revenues are insuff-
cient to meet its obligations and that
the society should be dissolved. The
assets Of the concern are said to con-
s:st Of a promissory note of $500 and
5000 in cash on deposit in a bank.
Samuel II. Styles is said to be the
president, and he received notice to
show cause why the company should
not be dissolved.

TROUBLES IN AUTO
ENGINES YIELD TO
WOMAN MECHANICS

The war has forced upon women
many strange occupations and they
have risen nobIy to the occasion; they
are becoming independent OF male
assistance in fields hitherto consid-
cred purely masculine.
Until recently the average woman
gazed with a feeling akin to awe,
when the lifted hood Of an automo-
bile showed the working engine; the
whole thing was a mystery too deep
for her to fathom.
II she drove a car she knew that
II she pushed this. or pulled that,
the car did something, but why or
how, that was a masculine PROPOSE
ton But times have changed, hun
dreds Of women, many of high So
cial prominence, are capable Rutomo-
bile mechanics as far as relates to
minor repairs and adjustments.
Knocking (viz, mechanically is as
easy of explanation as "purl one and
plain two" of knitting" proper mix
ture" mean something worth Know
ing; "differentials" are not alone
connected with railroads but are
much more simple than they sound.
