OF homes and farms, and the new
process tranmission and differential
gears.
1t is reported that the difficulties,
which have stood in the way of pro-
-duction Of six-cylinder cars in large
quantities, have been eliminated by
radically new ideas OF construction.
Rides Like Large Car.
Just what these are have not been
made public as yet, but new prin-
ciple OF spring suspension is one
of them. The new spring gives the
car the riding qualities of l42-iiGh
wheel base, though the actual wheA
base is but liz inches.
All the features of the car have
been thoroughly tested out, over a
period of two years, totaling a dis
lance of 100000 miles. During these
tests the new six proved an aver
age of IL to 20 miles per gallon OF
gasoline, due to its unusual light
weight-2,100 pounds-and to new
efficiencies of the engine.
Production is being fastened in
the Duesenberg motors plant at
Elizabeth, N. j., recently purchased
and greatly enlarged and amplified
by the WHY'S corporation.
If the car even approximates the
economies reported established by
the two years. of testing, it will un-
doubtedly create a stir in the six

the removal of another mans car to

Red Cross Campaign
To Ban tuberculosis
Makes Big Headway
BY Universal Service.

New York, Oct. 18.-There are II
perfectly good reasons why tuber-
culosis is being crushed out Of the
country. Every one of the L, taken
separately, is able to administer tell
ing blows against the enemy, but
taken as whole the great white
plague cannot stand against them.
They are the II health chores
done in the modern health crusade.
The number II has come to be full
of terror for the germs of tuber-
culosis, which until recently have
laughed at the efforts of civilization
to drive them away. They remain
secure against most weapons, but
let them see those big II coming up
in the distance and they run for
cover with their tails (if they have
them) tight between their legs.
tuberculosis hates cleanliness and
sunshine. 1t cannot live in fresh
air or where there is we'll planned
exercise. So the big II enemies of
the disease are based on the propo-
sition that to provide these things
is to win the fight. Every one of
the II chores is pointed to bring
good health to those who DO them
To Save Nations Children.
The Modern Health Crusade was
formed to save the health of the
nations children. 1t is doing itl At
present there are 100000 boy and
girl crusaders, all striving to do at
least 70 per cent of the II chores
every week, and so to win titles in
the field of honor conducted by the
crusade.
The chores are done at home, at
play and at the school house. Each
crusader has his own card and keeps
his own record, and because the
teacher and his mother have the
veto power over the record, it is
kept correctly.
While the chores themselves are
almost certain producers of good
health, stronger character and good !
habit one of the greatest values
they have is found in the future.
Affects Young Oftenest.
tuberculosis has always been in
sidious among children. 1t very Of
ten infects them when they are un-
der Is years of age. In a great |
many cases the germs remain dor |
mant until manhood or womanhood
lis reached, when some let down in
resistance will bring them out. Then
comes tuberculosis. 1t is because
so much of the infection is among
children and because it does not
show until later that the Modern
Health Crusade is becoming a bull
wark thrown around i the nation
against the great white plague.
The Modern Health Crusade is
one of the many phases of the fight
against the white plague, which will
be directly affected by the success
of the countrywide campaign Of ed !!

National tuberculosis association
and its 1000 affiliated state and To-
