Need Cars for Orphans
Dealers Are Not Responding to
Calls as Before

The appeal of the Orphans Auto
mobile Day Association for cars ia
carry 5000 orphan children on their
annual motor ride Is meeting with sue
cess, but great many more cars are
needed. Otherwise the number of
children to be entertained will have
to be cut down. This the directors of
the association do not wish to do, for
they believe the motor car and acces-
sorry tradesmen of New York will "give
thought to the orphans" and help
to make the annual big event of Au-
tomobile Row huge success.
This year Orphans Day will be cele-
brated at the Bronx Exposition Park
on Thursday, June 10. The children
will be conveyed in motor cars from
the Row to the park. There a box
luncheon will be served and the young
sters spend the day enjoying the vari-
Gus attractions.
The dealers of the row are not re-
spending in the former characteristic
manner, but it is believed that the
motor tradesmen will get beyond those
in charge of Orphans Day and help

Jordan Shows Some
New Things in Chassis
Squeak Prevention Is Well
Worked Out by Two.Coil
Spring Devices

Motorists who viewed for the first
time the new Jordan models now on
McCurdy Brainard's floor discovered
several improvements to the chassis.
Most of these improvements can be
classed as reinements rather than inn
provements, because the Jordan chas-
sis is still the same in its essentials.
Not satisfied with an aluminium BODY
to eliminate the most annoying rattles.
the Jordan Company adopted a pat
ented spring device which now prac-
tlcally eliminates "the last squeak"
The device consists of two coiled
springs, one on each side of the main
spring, with ground steel washers in
serted between the chassis spring and
the coiled spring to provide good wear
ing surface. A self-adjusting grease
cover incloses the coiled springs. The
whole device is packed with graphite
grease.
Specially designed rear springs allow
the car to hang lower, which is always
a factor in improving the looks of a
car. The springs have been designed.

More than twenty-three miles to the

"This is perhaps little better than

the record run was made with three
passengers and over dirt roads near
Bellevue, Ohio, where great quantities

Another Maxwell
Goes Far in "a Hours
Virginia Car Goes 673 Miles in
High Gear Twice Around
the Clock

That Maxwell sturdiness is as
prominent in the Easr as the far West
is proven in news Just received by
harry j. De Bear, local Maxwell man
ager. The first twenty-four-hour nom
stop, high-gear record by the Maxwell
was in Los Angeles, April, this year,
when 734 miles was made in twenty
four hours. Several weeks later a
rival car in Oklahoma attempted to
beat this twenty-four-hou record, but
failed by seventy-three miles.
"The latest Maxwell triumph has
been in Virginia." says Mr.. De Bear.
"In the face of far more serious
weather difficulties the Virginia Max
we'll was unable to equal the sensa-
tional mark of the Maxwell in Los
Angeles, but did, however, surpass the
mark of it's Oklohama rival by twelve
miles.
"The Virginia car was standard
stock Maxwell and had low and second
gear removed before starting, and the
record made by the oriver at Fairmont,
Va, has never been approached in that
section Of the United States. The old
673 miles was made on an average of
twenty miles to a gallon of gas under
very trying conditions. Twenty eight
miles an hour was the average speed

Hitting on All Twelve
GET. Scharps

Following upon the conference called
yesterday in this city by the Secretary
OF State to get suggestions as to the
form that examinations for automobile
operators in Greater New York should
take, it will not be long before the
system of examining all applicants for
driving licenses here will be put into
effect At present the 81 fees are in
force and have been ever since Gov
ernor Smith signed the Knight
Wheelock bill. The only part of the
law which does not go into effect until
August l is that section which provides g
for Today permits to be given to ap-
plicants for licenses while they are
learning how to drive their cars.
This should be a good season for
automobile schools, because it will be-
come imperative for owners to know
more about their cars before thew can
qualify for licenses. An increase in
the enrolment of a great many schools
has been noticeable. Automobile COM
panies make it a practice to give at
least three hours of instruction to
purchasers of their cars, and this
coupled with the driving practice under
the permit system will be enough to
qualify the more capable and me-
chanically-inclined car buyers to take
out licenses. But in the main it will
be found necessary for most motorists
to get rather more instruction than
this permits of.

of Overland cars right now and will
have its effect upon subsequent output.
The trouble at the Timken axle plants
has had Its effect upon those automo-
bile manufacturers who use Timken
axles. Some of them do not have any
considerable supply ahead and their
production will be held up for lack of
aXles to finish off their cars, unless the
trouble is soon settled. The Fisher
Body Company also is having trouble
with its employees and this again will
have an unpleasant result for those
companies which buy Fisher bodies to
mount on their chassis.

THE DYING EAST
 DEPENDS ON AMERICA
The Land Where Christ Was Born and Where His Miracles Were Per formed, Now the Scene of
 Untold Misery.

Ger out the old school geography or the new atlas and look for Asia Mi. nor. Look at the scale of the maI and get some idea of it's size. There is the cradle of the race. There ia the home, the beginning place of the great religions of the Western world Judaism was revealed there and so was Christianity. It is the sacred place of the Moslem as well as the Jew and the Christian. Three great religions call it their Holy Land.
 In the territory of Asia Minor, from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf, the whitening bones of millions of men. women and children are bleach ing under the desert suns. It is a charnel house that is greater even than that smoking hell of the old Western front.
 Those people died without chance. Never rife or machine gun was in their hands. Cut down by the Turks, deported from their native vii- lages and driven across mountains and deserts, thrown into the sea and drowned by thousands in the muddy rivers of West Asia, they died with out a chance for life.
 When an American traveller cah in a days travel count more than 5000 mutiated corpses along roadway it Is evident that nowhere in the world has the great struggle taken heavier toll.
 But even the Turk, pTacticed in killing as he has been for ten centu ries. failed to wipe out the races Of the Assyrians and the Armenlans. It is true that the nation is pitifully di- minished. Much of it's best blood Is lost. The survivors are in cond1- tion that can hardly be described
 The American Committee for Relief of Armenia and Syria is raising S30,, GOO. GOO to save them from utter de- strucfion. Every city and every county in the United States has a small quota to meet.
