BIG INCREASE IN AUTOMOBILES

A clear indication Of the constant
ly expanding market for automobiles
of the better class in America is
seen in the announcement of the
Packard Motor Car Company, and
their production for the calendar
year 1920 will be more than double
that for the year 1919.
While there may be some minor
changes in seating arrangements,
there will be no so-called 1920 mod
els.
This is in line with the Packard
policy of adhering to certain funda-
mental principles of engine and body
design. -
The engine of the present Packard
Twin Six is practically identical with
the first one which was produced,
April, 1916.
This Twin Six Motor is the one
which people have come to know as
the forerunner of the famous Liberty
engine in that it first indicated the
twelve cylinder "V" type Of con-
struction.
Parallel with the five years sue
cess of the Packard Twin Six engine
run of the extraordinary record
breaking feats of Ralph De Palma,
who has broken most of the worlds
speed records with Pack
ard twelve cylinder motor (aviation
type.) The fastest car on earth,
Packard "905," is the holder of many
of these records on straightway
courses. This car is now being ex-
hibited throughout the Southwest.

Railway Express Employees In New

make as much as it pleases, circum-
stances permitting. The bill as
drawn shows a modification Of the
original Cummins idea that aroused
the criticism of Former Justice Chas.
Evans Hughes recently. 1t is plann-
ed to allow the railroad per cent
on its investment, to receive one
half of the earning from to z per
cent. The balance Of the excess earn
ings is to be turned over to board
Of transportation as capital for loans
to the railroads for extensions. roll
ing stock rehabilitation, etc.
The revised Cummins bill will
penaIize interference with inter-
state commerce. This is the provision
that aroused such determined oppo-
sion among labor leaders who main
tanned the right strike. The prin-
ciples Of this important point are
the same as the original bill, but it
is considerably modified in detail.
One of the numerous boards pro-
posed to be created for the handling
Of railroad problems will have con-
troll Of the wage question, and so will
naturally be burdened with many of
the responsibilities of the labor prob
lem.
The board of transportation will
have many duties in addition to act
ing as a sort of intermediary banker
for the railroads needing financial
assistance. To it is assigned the inn
portant duty of returning the rail-
roads to their private owners, and
to arrange for their maintenance and
operation in the interval that must
ensue until the Federal Government
and the companies have settled their
accounts. The roads secured finan-
cial assistance in large sums from the
for rehabilitation thru
federal operation, and at a time
when their credit was exhausted, in
most instances, and their needs were
great. Many of the properties had
been permitted to run to seed before
Uncle Sam took control.
With the radical differences al |
ready in sight in the railroad bills to
be reported to the Senate and House,
It can be readily seen that the
chances of both houses passing their
measures and then agree
ng on compromise to be enacted
INTO laval before January l.
are vague indeed.

DEMAND FOR
QUICK ACTION

washington, d. e.-The ears Of
tGazgress are now beginning to ring

phases OF business and labor inter-
ezls from all sections Of the coun-
NY thai something be done about
the railroads and be done quickly.

Eerstate and Foreign Commerce is
still awaiting the report of the SUBJ
committee of five on the Esch bill,
at this writing, so there is slim
chance of the House passing the
measure before the yearned for ad-

Eugene patted her hand. "That's

-Four times, with not the slightest

When the fourth came, "Look herey"
said George huskily. "You going to
keep this up all night? What do you

"Was there any other reason? Did

She looked up gently and as George
met her eyes something exquisitely
touching yet queerly delightful gave
him a catch in the throat. She looked
instantly away, and, turning, ran out
from the palm grove, where they
stood, to the dancing floor.

 sheer one hundred and ten feet. "It's
 by way of adding little sport to

 Pete watched other Yankee blu< jackets kiss the Blarney Stone. The Eapproved method is for a strong man to grasp the candidates left leg and
