STILL LEAVE WORK
To THE REPAIRMEN

Roy c. Yonge, manager OF the
Yonge Auto Supply company, believes
that while auto owners have become
more careful in the use OF their cars
and more saving generally, that there
has been but little change as far as
car owners are concerned in the mat
ter Of repairing.
I'VE cannot see that owners have
made any great Roadway in learning
to do work on their machines which
they did not do before the war. Our
work is as rushing as usual and We
have not observed 10 even a limited
extent that car owners are eyincing
any eagerness 10 learn the repair
business on a small scale. They are
right, / think, in reasoning that they
may conserve by attending to the line
OF business in which they are engaged
and leave the repair work to auto
mechanics That is, after all, the
best conservation"

Car Owners already

They say that the new order Of
things as outlined by the allied auto
interests OF FL Paso viii cause car
owners and drivers to study more min
utely the questions OF repair. True.
But they have been drifting towards
that very thing for a long time. This
is lust a push to make them increase
speed" says Mr.. Russell, OF the West
Texas Motor company.
For a long time owners have

Quiries about many parts when they
come in for repairs that they cannot
themselves make, which indicates that

day how TO do all that is possible

Conservation May End
Assembled Car Business

A local dealer predicts that the
effect OF conservation measures
employed to win the war may
prove the undoing Of all makes OF
assembled cars. He points out that
it is hard TO get parts for such
makes due to the fact that parts
are obtained from many different
factories for the assembling, and
that there is a waste OF time In
securing parts. No standard cars
would be affected by discontinue
ancs OF making assembled cars
although many OF the smaller cars
fall under this classification.

KAISER MAKES PROVISION FOR
 EMF PRESS AL|X

PETROGRAD, March 10 (by maiD. One of the first requests put before the Russian delegates at Brest-Li- tovsk, according to the Petrograd newspapers, was a demand from Elm peror William for the safeguarding of the former Russian Empress Alex andra Alix. The following account of the incident is taken from the WogynI Courier:
 At the first meeting after the rep resentatives of the Bolsheviki govern ment and the delegates of the Russian army had assembled in the large room which had been devoted to the meet ing, General Von Hoffman, with his staff, came in. The two parties bowed to one another and the Russians sat down at the table.
 General Hoffman remained stand ing and addressed them. q speak to you" he said, in a stern voice. mot as the representative of the German army, nor of General Hindenburg. Il speak to you as the representative of the four central powers. I request you, therefore, to stand while you hear what l have to say"
 The members of the Russian dele gation looked at one another, thereI was a little hesitation, and they stood up. General Von Hoffman continued
 Before proceeding to any negotia- t1ons respective an armistice, I think It necessary to make the followingI statement: Within the area of Rus sta, in circumstances threatening herI personal safety, is living a most august relative of my sovereign mas ter, the Emperor William, namely, Princess Alix, your Empress Alex andra, with all her family.
 q demand that most decided meas ures be instantly taken for the safe guarding of her person and for her transfer to Germany under a reliable guard. l request your immediate reply"
 The members of the delegation did not know how to reply, and asked that they should be given time for consideration, and for consultation with Petrograd over their direct wire.
 Scarcely had an interpreter trans lated these words than General Von Hoffman said, with a great show of temper, q demand an immediate re- ply" and struck the table with his fist. This demand" he continued, lis in the nature of an ultimatum. In the event of your not accepting it the negotiations will cease forthwith, and hostilities will be at once recom- menced by us."
 There remained nothing for the members of the Russian delegation to do but to give their consent to the demands made.

SOLDIERS WANT
 LIGHT READING
 WHILE TRAINING

CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego, Cal, April 19.-When the officers training school corps went into the trench area here recently for an extended tour, one of the first desires named by the men was for magazines or books. The strain of the mimic war in which they were engaged, officers said, made a means of relaxing mentally valuable.
 A quantity of magazines, most of them of the lighter fiction type, were sent to the Y, Nj. c. A. hut" behind the trench lines for distribution by the camp library, and were read eagerly. "They almost mobbed me- said the driver of the automobile truck which took the magazines out, telling of the way in which the sol. diers call for the reading matter.
