Senate Tuesday killed the bill by

In the rich spoil that the Hapsburgs
accumulated over many centuries
much of which is coming back to the
nations that owned it, there Is hardly
a more interesting item than the coro-
nation robes that Italy now proposes
to have returned to Palermo, Sicily.
Henry vi, emperor of the Holy Roman
empire in the twelfth century, subdued
the Sicilies and took back to Germany
the gorgeous costume that SaraceD
artisans had made for Norman kings
who had come into control hundred
years earlier. Since then the robes
have been worn by Hapsburg mon
archs at their coronations, and of late
years they have been kept, between
these ceremonial occasions, in the Inn
perial treasury in Hofburg, Vienna.
The robes include magnificent
mantle, wonderfully embroidered alb
or long gown of fine linen, and a girdle
Of gold scales. As between Austria
and Italy, it certainly looks like what

people with the undesirable fame Of

of force has been necessary to make
the islanders respect the local repre-.

pugnacity, however, there is much, de.
clares a recent writer, to be said for
the Malekulans. For one thing, they
ure remarkably honest; the travelerN
who goes among them knows that

INDUSTRY REACHES
VOTING AGE

The native born young man who
casts his first vote in 1919 can point
back to his birth year-1S9S-as the
one that saw the first real success
Of the American gasoline automo-
bile. Prior to 1898 such motor cars
as American people occasionally be-
held were uncertain and limping ex-
periments that sometimes went and
more times did not They were OBJ
jects Of amusement and scornful
hilarity on the part OF pedestrians
and horsemen rather than objects
OF utility TO their makers.
But all that began to change In
1898. In that year Alexander Win
ton produced and the Winton com
pany sold and shipped a bonafide
output of p single-cyIinder Win
tons, costing their purchasers 81. 900
each. Thus il was that the Alneri-
can gasoline motor car industry was
established-as an industry And
so gigantic has this industry become
that now II produces cars By the
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-04-06
BIGGER BUSINESS
SEEN IN FUTURE
Stockholders Of Automatic
Dump Car Co. Plan Drive
During Summer.

At a meeting Of the stockholders
OF the Automatic Dump Car COM
pany held last wednesday. a board
Of directors consisting Of A. l.. Herr,
Anton Brezsvitz, DR.. S. Borough. O..
T.. Fries, Jacob Hoffman, Otto Boyer
and Valentine Przybysz was chosen.
The directors met on the follow
ing night and elected as officers for
this year: o. E.. Fries. president;
otto Boyer, vice president; DIR. s.
Borough, secretary, and A. L. Herr,
treasurer and general manager. and
Valentine PrZybysz, assistant secre-
tary.
One of the features If the meeting
was the report submitted py the
treasurer. II showed the growth Of
the company in the few months il
has been organized TO have been al
most phenomenal This, it is be-
lieved. is due to the extremely heavy
demand that is sure TO follow for
the product OF the company when
once they have reached a production
basis. Already. according to the re-
port. inquiries are being received
from all parts of the country rela-
tive to the new dump body for
trucks. and in the present work Of
reconstruction, the Automatic is sure
TO play a prominent part. Officials
of the company, in outlining its pol
icy, declared the same conservative
methods that have characterized
the concern in the past would be
followed, as this is believed TO be
the only sure road 10 success.
One of the dump bodies, placed
on a truck. was seen in operation
during the recent automobile show
held on Michigan street, and South
Bend business men we're more than
usually interested in the device. Mr..
Herr, general manager of the COM
pany, who designed the body, has
had years of engineering experience
and feels sure the principles in
volved in the automatic will develop
it into one Of the city's leading in
dustries.

RUNNING ON FLAT
TIRE BAD POLICY

Running on a fat" not only de-
moHshes tires premsturely but les
sens the owners chances II ne APP
peals to the tire adjGster with :
claim. The b. F. Goodrich Rubber
Co. offers the following hint which
if needed. will mean a big saving
TO practically every car owner.
When you have a blowout or a
tire cut stop at once and apply a
spare tire or put in a temporary
tube patch. Under no circumstances
run your tire fat. In running on a
debated tire you cause the side walls
OF the tire TO withstand a tremendous
strain not intended for them; the
cotton fabric OF carcass of the tire
is twisted and distorted; and during
the winter months chunks of sharp
ice and frozen dirt ruts grind and
slash the casing and tube because
of the dead weight of the car.
The motorist who runs on fiat
tire usually ruins all evidence or
what caused the tire to go bad, and
the tire adjuster is at
a loss to tell whether defects were
in the manufacture or whether in
juries were responsible for the blow
out.

ALL EYES TURNED
TO DENVER SHOW
New Faces in Tire Division
Exhibits Range From Bikes
to Trucks.

DENVER, Colo, April 5.-Denver
this week is the automobile capital
of the west The annual Rocky
mountain motor show is on at the
stock yards stadium with a bigger
list of entries than ever before
brought to this scity.
Parked in the roomy arena built
especially for the annual western
livestock show, automobiles of ev-
cry make, model and description
are taking the space occupied only
few weeks ago by the prize cattle
and blue-blooded horses of the
world.
Thanking the passageway within
the quarter-mile oval about the
arena is a tire exhibit from the fac
tory of virtually every big rubber
manufacturer in America. Rubber
men apparently are attempting TO
Guido one another this postwar year
in the size and attractiveness of
their exhibits.
There are several new faces" in
the tire display. among them the
Gates half sole tire. AS Denver is
the home OF this tire, the Gates Rub
Der Co. apparently placed its ex-
hibit with a determination not TO
permit outnders to outclass Denver
Success OF the automobile show
movement evidently has convinced
several tire manufacturers, as il has
the Gates Rubber Co., that an ex-
hibit in competitive company is a
good thing.
There were 364 exhibits reading
for the opening day OF the show, and
these ranged from the gas-propell-
ed bicycle TO the four-ton truck

hundreds Of thousands every year.
The success Of the winton was fol-
lowed in 1899 by the entrance of
other manufacturers who had PASS
ed out of the experimental period,
but the Winton output is the only
one sold in 1888 Of which there is
AN authentic record.
Peter Clark Macfarlane made an
exhaustive inquiry into the early
history Of the American motor car
and on Jan. 9. 1915. published in
Golfers Weekly an illuminating ar
ticle on the subject. Mr.. Macfar-
lane said:
Charles Z. Duryea is positive
that the Duryea Motor Wagon Co.
made the several sales already men
toned during 1896. or 1897 he and
the Appersons sold "A phaeton 20 a
Mr.. Lewis at or near Poughkeepsie.
y. Y, and in 1897 furnished a
phaeton 10 a. DR.. Sweeney OF Chica-
go. However, the Haynes-Apperson
output in 1898 was only five cars
and by 1897 the Duryea brothers
had separated; Charles was starting
all over again, and Frank moving
slowly and experimentaHy, so that
the manufacture and sale in 1898 of
p machines Of the type of Winton's
third car may Justly be regarded as
marking transition Of the gasoline
automobile in America from the ex-
perimental stage to that of stand
ardization and commercial manu-
facture."
