States Housing Corporation when
asked to do 50.
My reason" said Colonel Sanetu-
airy, lis that these employees by rea-
son Of position, experience in the
city, and compensation, are better
qualified to care for themselves than.
employees reporting here for service;
that Congress primarily intended the
dormitories for war workers.
"AIl rooms which I allotted were
assigned on the basis of merit alone
and not upon influence, and il was
evidently the desire of the housing
corporation to obtain needed friends
in Congress by adopting a policy OF
caring for the employees above re-
ferred to. I do not hesitate to con-
denim this policy.
"As far as the management of the
dormitories. or hotels, is concerned, it
seems to be the consensus Of opinion
among the residents that men be eX-
cluded from the management and
women substituted. The report that
the residents wanted either women or
wounded soldiers in the management
is unfounded. They want just women
employees in the hotels"

The organization of dormitory resi-
dents has passed the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, in the columns of an
evening newspaper. published in this
city, under date of May II, it was
featured on the front page of said
paper that war workers housed in
the dormitcries had organized to back
"a retirement bill.
Now, therefore, be il resolved by
the aforesaid war workers that. while
we arc not opposed TO the preparation
of such a bill. yet we wish to notify
the people of Washington. and this
country. that the primary object in
forming our organization was to pro-
tect our own welfare and interests
and TO protest against Objectionable
features in the conduct of the dor
mitories. especially those identical
with tho head of same. whose
qualifications for that position is
political influence. and not merit, and
that this opinion is based on the
statement of those acquainted with
his previous record. both in and out
OF Washington. which information is
also in the possession of the L. s.

Many a purchaser OF 1870 car will

1t is well to know that aside from
the switch wire, and the one cable
leading from the magnetic to each
plug, high-tension magnetic has no
external wiring.
The complications, and the posi-
bilities of trouble. resulting from
the numerous connecting wires used
with battery systems, are entirely
absent where magnetic is employed.
Thus not only is the possibility of

MANY INDUSTRIES
DEPEND ON AUTOS

THE fact that the Council OF Ma
tional Defense named the automobile
industry as one of the eight basic
industries from which facts and fig
ures were desired for use at the labor
and industrial conference. called by
President Wilson at Washington as
the best possible remedy for the nigh
cost of living, is not only a positive
recognition of the automobile indus
try. but proves that the products
which this industry produces have be-
come basic utilities in the production
and transportation of all other pro-
ducts, says G.. A. Kissel, president
of the Kissel Motor Car Company.
Take the other seven basic indus
tries-steel. cotton, wool. food, in
dustrial construction, ship building.
road and bridge construction. All Of
these industries depend to a great ex-
tent on the motor truck as well as
the automobile in the transportation
of materials, supplies, equipment,
men, and other factors that enter
into their distributing activities.
Without the motor truck, steel
products, bales of cotton and wool,
tons of food, construction equipment
tools and materials for shipbuilding,
and the men and equipment for road
and bridge construction work could
not be economically transported.
