PEACE PACT LAID ASIDE
AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS
ARE MADE TO RA 7IFY IT

tor Lodge said. and. of course. he
can then re-submit it IN the next ses-
sion.
But the treaty is dead in this
senate and they killed it as | told
them they would if they voted against
it "
Senator Hitchcock said the treaty
was not dead and that he presumed
the presldent would resubmit it on
December /. although he had no defi-
mite word from the president to that
effect. He said he thought the re-
publicans had worked themselves into
"a very awkward position" and had
split themselves in the senate and
the country.
The final vote on adjourning sine

In the general excitement the sem
ate failed to follow the time honored
precedent of appointing a committee
to wait upon the president and notify
him of the senate's intention to ad-
journ.
Washington, Nov 19. - The peace
treaty, with its league of nations cove
nant and reservations prepared by the
foreign relations committee, was de-
feated late today, SO TO So. Efforts of
Senator Hitchcock administration
leader, to gain consideration of a
ratification resolution without reser-
walton failed on point or order, the
senate overruling Vice President Mar
shall Leaders predicted tonight that
further consideration would be held
over to the next congress.
Four democrats, Gore, Shields,
Smith of Georgia and Walsh of Mas
sachusetts voted with thirty-five re-
publicans for adoption. The negative
vote consisted of forty-two democrats,
and fifteen republicans. The latter
were Borah, Brandegee, Fernald,
France, Gronna, Johnson of Califor-
mia. Knox. IaFollette, Mccormick,
Moses Norris, Poindexter and Sher-
man.
A vote to reconsider its action was
adopted by the vote of democrat and
mild reservation republicans. Efforts
of Senator Hitchcock to offer a COM
promise set of reservations failed as
did efforts to modify some of the
Lodge reservations.
The result was to place tie treaty
in parliamentary status which its
enemies declared amounted at least
temporarily to rejection. Its friends
however, had hopes of reviving it at
another session of congress.
After the ratification vote the re-
publicans permitted their resolution in
exactly the form rejected to come up
for further consideration, but as the
session extended into the evening the
solid republican lineup which had held
throughout the day against repeated
democratic compromise proposals,

Republicans Are Blamed.
Blame for the present situation in
the senate was placed upon the re-

democrat, Alabama, who called upon
them to go to the country with the
"assimilated issue" and said there

COMPRESSION IS
THE THIRD BRAKE

do not forget that your car has
three brakes. Put the gears in second
cut Off spark and you1l fear no steep
grades" says J. r. Gum, local manag-
er of the f. H. Hansen Co.
Shut Off your motor and slide into
second as you roll a cross the ridge.
Don't drive in second Shut off the
spark if the throttle will not close.
Then if you have a six you gain six
compression brakes and your motor
cools to boot. If necessary a gentle
touch of the service break now, and of
the emergency brake then, generally
will hold you nicely.
AT times the abrupt or long drop
will argue for low instead of second in
compression. On all but the steepest
descents this will hold your car with
but very little use of brakes 1t will
keep your brakes in reserve for real
emergencies such as a motorcycle
around the curve on your side
of the road or some similar hair-rais
ing episode.
Even the expert will remember this
joyous discovery Of the third brake.
Driving in mountains will show that
hundreds of drivers are not familiar
with the practice of "braking and cool
ing at the same time"

Thrills are the daily fare of the ad.

according to information given out yes

These fliers are the eyes Of he ma

80 far as 1 know it is the first time
that aviators have been used on so elab-
crate scale for the suppression of
bandits and so-calleh revolutionists.
While the infantry. artillery and ma

The new eyes of the marine corps are

Overland 4, alone. Markets for raw
materials whcih had been greatly dis
turbed by war conditions, had to be
organized Factory methods and
routine had to be changed over from
war work. A great quantity of new
machinery had to be built and install
ed.
"A tremendous job! And it was ac-
complished on the face of extraordinary
difficulties between the months of Nov
ember 1913 and August of this year.
This, in spite Of delays common to all
manufacturers in getting materials,
parts, dies and tools, on which our pro-
gromme depended, and in spite of the
shortage Of labor which all manufactur-
crs have encountered since the war.
I'VE could use more labor in certain
classes Of work today. In this we are
no different from other manufacturers,
but we are overcoming this difficulty
and more houses in Toledo would ma
terially help right now.
u am very gratified to find every
thing moving SO harmoniously through

duction is growing every day toward
the big schedule established"

STAGE LINES TO
RUN EXCURSIONS
TWICE WEEKLY

An Innovation that will doubtless
mark an epoch in the history of the
stage business has just been annou1c-
ed by the Pickwick, White Star and
United Stages of Southern California.
1t is the intention of these companies
beginning about the second week in
November to inaugerate a semi-weekly
excursion from points on the coast to
Imperial Valley.
Attractive literature is being pub
lished which is fully illustrated with
scenes depicting the various industrial
and agricultural activities of Imperial
Valley. These Booklets also contain
world of information that will prove in
tensely interesting to anyone wanting
information about this Valley.
Each excursion will be of three days
duration and personally conducted. The
second day will be spent in visiting the
various towns of the valley and will be
over the local lines operating from El
Centro.
Arrangements are being made for a
representative of the chamber of CON-
merce to address the eXcursionists up
on their arrival here. The first ex-
curson is scheduled to be approximate
ly November 18th and to continue
thereafter each Tuesday and Thursday.

IMP PER|AL co. /
AU TO. TRADE
ASSN. FORMED

At banquet at the barbara Worth
Hotel last evening attended by fifty au-
tomobile dealers in cars and accessories
the Imperial County Automobile Tread
Association was formed. The new or
ganization will be affiliated with the
California Automobile Trade Assoca-
tion.
C. Z. Coggins. Jr. was elected teEpor
airy president and T. VI. Gill of Philley
and Gill, temporary secretary
The main address of the evening was
by Robert w. Martin Of the California
Automobile Trade association who ex-
planned the advantages in forming tho
new association to the dealers.
ANY dealer who thinks that by
forming this association he is going TO
be able to boost prices and rob the
public had better get his hat and leave
this room at once saNi Mr.. Martin.
"This association is to be formed ptim-
arily that the dealers may give the
public dollar for dollar"
The California association has nearly
5000 members and is one of the strong
associations in the state, being the
strongest trade association.
Methods which have been practiced
in times past We're laughingly com
n.ented on by Mr.. Martin who stated
that one of the objects of the associa
ton was to raise the general tone of
the business. Courtesy, clean shops
and service were dwelt on at length by
the Oakland man.
When he sat down he was roundly
cheered.
Sentiment in favor of the new asso-
citation was unanimous. The Imperial
county branch will have an executive
board. one member from each town to
be selected later and a member from
each craft for the county ON the execu-
tive hoard Meetings will be held once
a month and delegates sent to the state
meetings.
The exchange of ideas was important,
stated Mr.. Martin and the purpose Of
organizing was to exchange ideas and
all progress rather than any one pro-
crossing at the expense of his ,corHeti
tor.

PRODUCTION IN
W|LLY'S FACTORY
VERY LARGE ONE

"Remarkable progress" is the way
John n. WHY'S. president Of the WHY'S
Overland Company, expresses his salts
faction after "a weeks visit in Toledo
spent in intimate study of conditions
today at the big Overland plant.
In conferences with executives, Mr..
WHY'S, during the week approved the
plans for huge production programme
scheduled for the two new models the
company will market this year. These
new cars are Overland 4, which is now
in quantity production, and the new
Willy-Knight model.
Production of Overland already
has passed 800 per day, "Mr. WHY'S
said. within a short time ] expect
that the scale of production at the To-
ledo plant will equal any previous fig.
ures in the history OF the company. and
from then on should surpass former rec
ords." The plant here now ranks second
i'll the country's total production of au.
tomobiles.
: Although the new Overland was de-
signed two years ago, and engineering
models have been under constant test
for that entire period, factory produc-
ton plans" Mr.. WHY'S said, could
not 'be started until late last November,
when the armistice released the plant
from war work. And yet in August
this year, Overland 4 was in production.
Usually it requires q full year or
rrore for an automobile company. how
ever well equipped. to get under way
with a new model Even then the man.
ufacturer generally has the advantage
of being able to use many of the dies
and tools necessary for previous
models, or he is able, with very slight
changes, to incorporate in the new
model, some former parts, such as
axles, steering gear and the like.
but Overland A and the new WHY'S
Knight differ from any other cars
heretofore made at Toledo. Parts
from other models could not be used
This meant starting out new from the
bottom up.
Eight thousand special dies and
tools had to be designed. built and in
stalled at the Toledo plant to take
care Of the 10000 operations on the

TAXI OW NERS
TEACH OWNERS
MANY THIN GS

The average automobilist can learn
many things about values from the
taxi owner. The average owner usual
ly drives one car, and gets the eXper-
ience that comes from operating that
single machine But the taxi owner
has string of ears in his service. and
is in position to find out by actual
test the exact merits of various types
of automobile equipment.
In addition to having more cars, the
taxi man is able to study he type of
service given by cars and equipment
under the most strenuous conditions
The gruelling, racking treatment that
falls to the lot of the taxicab in big
city makes it possible to make a proper
estimate of the value of each item of
equipment.
The modern taxi company runs on eff
ficiency lines and keeps the cost and
service sheets that tell hm just what
he gtes for his money.
The United States Tire Co. is in re-
ceipt of the following letter from S. II.
Miskend, president of the Blue Taxi
Co.. one of the big taxi firms in Brook
lyn, n. Y:
You will probably be interested in
the records we have recently compiled
on two hundred United States tires,
34x4k chains and 36x4A chains, that
we purchased a year ago this month.
1--WE find upon investigation that al
though they were used on heavy white
taxi cabs in all kinds of weather and
under the usual taXicab conditions, we
have not had one single adjustment.
Every one of these tires gave satisfac-
ton. aatNv
Feeling that manufacturer would
be interested in a record of their goods,
we are advising you of these facts with
the idea that you may at some time
want to refer someone to use ; in the
same line of business who contemplat-
ed buying tires, and you can rest as
sured that we would recommend them
very highly"

AUTOMOBILE IS
GREAT SALES AID

"While the automobile has contrib
uted greatly to the social and econ
omic welfare of our country" says
Mr.. Purl Willis of Willis & Thomas,
local dealers in Chevrolet passenger
cars and trucks, mo where else has
its aid been more keenly appreciated
or more extensively made use Of.
than by the sales organizations Of
thousands of business houses the
country over.
i Before the avent of the automo-
bile as dependable means of travel,
the salesman who covered any
amount of territory looked to the
railroads for his chief means of con-
veyance. When train schedules held
little promise, he substituted for the
aforesaid mode of travel the electric
railway lines when available and
when not, the time honored horse and
buggy.
$50 it is little wonder that when
we look at the salesman Of few
years ago, we instantly conjure a
mental picture of a rather tired and
travel stained individual whose chief
pastime seemed to be that of eternal
waiting. In hotel lobbies as well as
in railroad stations, he became an ac-
customed fixture always waiting,
waiting, waiting.
when the 'horseless carriage
with all its advantages became
practical realty, then the new era of
sales eA Aiciency dawned. The sales
man became instantly independent Of
time waiting railroad schedules. For
first time in his experience as sales
man, he was able to make those
virgin spots hithertofore inaccessible,
nd from the moment he left the office
until he returned, every minute of
his working day was utilized in a d.
rectly constructive manner.
Today, even the most remote
rural districts are being thoroughly
covered, quicker. comfortably and at
a lower cost with automobiles by
sales representatives of hundreds of
nationally known concerns as well as
countless smaller firms, all of whom
are able to accomplish from three 10
five times as much work with half
the effort and labor"

LETTUCE GROWERS TO BE AIDED

County Horticultural Commissioner
f. w. Waite this morning received a
telegram from Acting Chief Livingston
of the Bureau of Markets in Washing
ton agreeing to do all in his power to
help the Valley secure a lettuce expert
to aid in marketing this winter
Mr.. Livingston stated he could make
no definite promises this time because
Of the financial condition of the depart
ment but would see what can be done.
Because of the fact that growers in
the Valley have agreed to pay $500 a
month toward the expense of govern
ment man, it is thought that one will be
secured.
I. T. Sparks of the Southern Pacific
has been instrumental in getting the
machinery in motion to secure the ex-

RICHMOND DEbATER
LEFT OUT IN DISTRICT
DISCUSSION CONTEST

When William Ha berkern, repre-
sentative Of Wayne county in the dis
trtct discussion contest, and Shannon
Neff, coach of the debating team In the
Richmond high school, went to Fort
Vile, Ind, Friday afternoon for the
discussion contest which was to have
been held Friday evening they found
the event was over. The reason for
holding the contest in the afternoon Is
not known by Haberkern, Neff, the
county chairman nor state officials. 1t
has always been customary to hold
this contest at night and Mr.. Neff re-
ceived a telegram from the state or
ficials Friday morning stating that
Haberkern would be eligible for the
contest and to go on to Fortvllle
where the contest would be held Fri
day evening. Mr.. Neff also received
word from County Chairman Driver
stating that the contest would be FRI
day evening.
There has been some confusion as
to who would represent Wayne
county in the contest. Two other
towns in the county besides Richmond
entered the contest and the state Of
ficials did not understand that all had
withdrawn but Richmond until a few
days ago. This fact accounts for the
delay in the word sent to Richmond
that Haberkern would be an eligible
representative.
The blame evidently lies with tho
Fortville officials in the belief OF
Haberkern and Neff, as both the state
officials and County Chairman Driver
were under the impression the contest
would be held Friday evening.
Fern Copeland of Rushville won
first place and Joe Glasscock of Green
field won second place in the contest.
Mr.. Neff has registered objections
with the state officials but no action
has been taken although Haberkern
said this morning the problem would
proba bly, be solved by sending both
Haberkern and Miss Copeland to the
state contest at Bloomington on April
o.

concrete South Ninth street from
South E street down the Boston pike
for slightly more than a mile. The
city will put in a curb and gutter on
each side, and also, under the argee-
ment, paves several feet of the road
way.
Starr and Woodhurst, coal dealers,
were awarded the contract to supply
coal to the courthouse and the home
for the Friendless next year, for $5.91
per ton. Klehfoth and Newcomer
contracted to supply the Jail at $6.75,

DRAMATIC PLEA
PRESENTED FOR
MONROE EDICT
Lord Cecil Swings British
Support to Wilson-French
Eenter Objections.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, April 12.-Discussion of the
League of Nations commission is de-
scribed by those present as having
been Of dramatic character, conclud-
ing with a speech by President Wilson
deprecating the opposition which has
been expressed and upholding the
doctrine as one of the great bulwarks
against absolutism
The debate came late in the session.
after other subjects had been passed
upon.
The British attitude had been In
doubt until the last, but Lord Robert
Cecil turned the scales by announcing
that he saw no objection to the
amendment in the form presented by
the president. M. LArnaude, Of the
French delegation, followed Lord Rob-
erts with objections to inserting the
Monroe doctrine.
The president paid the closest at
tention to the opposition to the
amendment, and jotted down notes
for reply. In his reply the presi-
dent spoke with great earnestness and
with some evidence Of feeling.
Bar to AbSoiutism.
He declared the Monroe doctrine
was enunciated to combat the Holy
Alliance, and to hold back the threat
OF absolutism which then was menac-
ing Europe and seeking to spread its
absolute power to the Western Henri
sphere. 1t served its purpose in hav-
ing kept this absolute power from the
Western world.
One Of its great purposes, he said,
was to maintain territorial and politi-
cal integrity, and, having served its
great purpose in the Western world,
1t was being brought to the lands
which had felt the hand of absolutism
and militarism. 1t was a source of
surprise and disbursement, the
president said, to hear opposition ex-
pressed to such doctrine and such a
purpose.
The presidents speech closed the
discussion. There was no vote, and
when there were no further remarks
the chairman of the meeting said the
amendment would be considered
adopted.
