driving my Stalney all over the city. why is it that this wonderful car is not the most popular car in the world. l have been wanting just such a car for years, but couldn't get it." Unconscious ly he answered his question in the last sentence-they have not been obtainable. The Stanley Company, controlling the basic steam car patents, has been close corporation, conducted in what would be called an old-fashioned way; more ami mated by high ideals of perfection than by any desire for big output or big prof it's. As the Stanley from the beginning g years ago, has always delivered better performance than any gasoline car. this policy may have been open to criticism.
 "The company has now, however, been reorganized, with more aggressive man. agement It Is, I believe, the first auto mobile concern in the world to pass into kthe hands of the second generation of the same family. The production is being in creased, and modern methods adopted for public enlightenment As one of my GUS toners remarked recently, The Stanley Company is to blame for this condition themselves. In spite of the fac tthat they have the best performance in the world,

 DRIVING ADVICE Also Urges Drivers to Ob- serve Traffic Rules

The practice of most Buick owners IS to driveto drive all the year round and for this reason Buick cars have been equipped with every cold weather conven- fence necessary to perfect driving com fort But there are some miscellaneous rules with which not all drivers are fla rniliar but the observance of which will often simplify driving even under the most trying conditions says George D. McCutcheon, manager of the Atlanta branch.
 When driving in heavy rain, it is of course necessary to have the side cur tains closed for comfort In this case. vision through the windshield is often seriously obstructed by the snow or rain on the glass. There are some patented windshield cleaners on the market that assist greatly in overcoming this condi- ton. but if your car does not happen to be equipped with one of them, you can get around the difficulty by adjusting the windshield. Leave the lower half entirely closed and adjust the upper half so that it slants out enough to give you clear vision between the upper and lower

BRANCH RAILROAD LATEST NAME FOR RURAL TRUCK LINES
Cincinnati Company Sets Example During Emer- gency-Plan Being
 Perfected

'-Ihe attitude between the railroads and the motor truck is gradually turning from a spirit of competition to a spirit of cooperation" says R. E. Fulton, vice president of the International Motor com many, manufacturer sof Mack trucks.
 '.The present serious financial condi- tion of the railroads and the increased freight rates that will inevitably follow. together with the economic advantages of the motor truck. point to very favor able effect on the prices of foodstuffs as . result of that cooperation.
 '-The use of trucks as feeders to the railroads up to a distance of 100 miles win release their facilities for the in- creasing tonnage that requires long dis tance haulage It has ben specifically proven that because of the duplication of handling in railroad transportation goods can be shipped on short hauls more economically by motor truck. In few years the truck will be the standard method of short distance hauling. By Acttng as a feeder within radius of ter sufnais, it will provide the railroads with an increased tonnage and assist in mak- ing complete delivery, since 1t will pene- trate areas that are now without trans portation ia ciiities
 CINCINNATI SETS PACE
 a-rhe Big Four freight houses in Gin cirnati have set the example. Two motor truck chassis and about 10 bodies were used with tremendous success in reliev- ing the railroads of large tonnage of short haul traffic Branch stations re- cefved the bodies which were filled and loaded on the chassis. On fixed sched- u9e they were brought to the terminals and their contents transferred to through cars Under the old system, cars had to be sent to each of the branch stations and brought to the terminals by the en- zine seldom more than quarter filled.
 s-The advantages of this plan over the rsd extravagant methods are so vivid That other large cities throughout the United States are realizing the tremen- Sous potenttalfties of the truck as feed er to the railroads, and are establishing similar systems.
 .-The time win come when each and every motor truck that operates within a yo-rnile radius of large cities will be in effect . branch line of that railroad The reason for this @ that a railroad re- auires an immense initial investment for right of way, grading, bridges and raiis, and Is limited in the amount of traffic it will hold. If such branch line 6oes not pay for itself, 1t cannot be di-

It is no longer true, if 1t ever was true, that responsible tire manufacturers de- light to see tires go wrong quickly. that car owners might find it necessary to buy new ones the sooner. The present plan of merchandising IS to build the greatest possible mileage into tho tires and to encourage the user to care for them properly, that their fuf1 life may be realized That tire Ncare pays is indi- cated in the tire experience of J.

 HOW TO BRAKE
 When the streets are slipupery, the safest practice is to use tire chains, par ticularly on the rear wheels. But should you be driving without them, be careful how you handle the brakes. Never apply the brakes suddenly under these condi- tions. The best method is to keep your foot off the clutch pedal leaving the clutch in engagement and then when you wish to apply the brakes, take your foot off the throttle close the hand throttle entirely and apply the brake, gradually. This causes the motor to help you slow down and keeps the pressure perfectly capitalized on both rear wheels. Do not apply the power suddenly on slippery streets. Open the throttle gradually. If you happen to be driving down hill, kyou can use the motor as a brake by shifting into second or first speed or sleeper grades, then close the throttle. You will rarely have to use the brake if you follow this method.
 WATCH YOUR STEP
 When the road is slippery, summer or winter, always drive at such speed that you can stop with reasonable quickness without the danger of skidding. You have always got to figure on the other fell low" and you never know what he is going to do. A car suddenly turning into fthe main thoroughfare from thes side street, or careless pedestrian who steps | into your path from behind car or other object beside the curb will make | it necessary for you to actqufckly to pre- | vent accident; and you can do this if you have your car perfectly under con | trol.
 It is more important to be able to stop your car than to start it, and the careful | driver will be guided by this rule l We solicit all Buick owners to observe the traffic rules to the letter. They are founded on good common sense in most cases, as are the rules governing "cour- | tesy of the road" Know the streets and roads in your locality that have the right | of way" and then do not, in all cases be | too insistent on maintaining your right oi way. There is no safer or more pleasant mode of transportation than motoring The most important rule to observe is | Keep your car under control at all times

EMMA GOLDMAN HAS
 r NO CLAIM TO CITIZENSHIP

Washington, Nov. 1s.-Replying to a senate inquiry as to what had been done toward deporting Emma Gold man and Alexander Berkman, Attor- ney GeIeral Palmer declared tonight that the woman's claim to American citizenship was "faIlaciousn and that Berkman. by his own admission, was an anarchist.
 The Goldman case is under consid- eration by immigration authorities at New York and the attorney general g statement was taken to mean that the government would soon attempt to send her back to Russia. where she was born.
 Discussing Goidman's claim to citi4 zepship Mr. Palmer said she was 24 years old when her father was natur- alized, and that her age barred her from inheriting naturalization rights from him. The fact that her husband obtained his citizenship through fraud Mir. Palmer added. cancelled any claim she might have established through that source.
 The ramidcations to which the plo.s and plans of the group of anarchists
 headed by Emma Goldman have ex- tended were reviewed by the, attorney general. eclaring that both Mathew Schmidt and David Caplan, who are serving prison sentences for compile 1 ity in the destruction of the Los An geles Times building, were members of, the Goldman clan, he showed also that she advocated violence and had melted riots as early as 1893 when sht was sentenced to serve one year or 1 BlackWelPs Island after indictment or ! these charges. Mir. Palmer included in the statement a transcript of the
 confession of Czolgosz, who sho | President Mckinley, in which he tolt of the influence Emma, Gcidman 1 teachings had exercised on his life Further. investigation by government
 agents proved that he had not onl.
 heard her speak but frequently hat consulted with her as to methods t be employed in effecting the destruc tion of the government.
 The connection of both Berkman an | Emma Goldman with the Bolshevik movement also was emphasized by Nil Plamer The activities of the Unio
 of Russian Workers said to be one c the most dangerous orga nizations i \ America, and against which the gov
 ernment has directed vigorous cam

 On the contrary, Russian citizens in ] America, Martens says. have been de- nied the protection of the law.

Through daily abuse in the press and the prejudices created by virulent campaign of misrepre- sentation, their Russian citizenship
