That pneumatic tires came near to

of automobile tires. The inventor Of
the pneumatic tires was r. W. Thomp-

were filled with air. Thompson got
his patents in 1S45, but the invention

Detroit had q closed car show the
week OF October 6. This idea has been
tried out in other cities before this and
has been successful, too. Just at this
moment, Of course, it wouldn't be any
thing for New York. because it would
stimulate demand that couldn't be
satisfied, as closed cars are away short
of the demand. But probably next
year there will be circumstances more
favorable to such show, and if so. 1t

Some years ago, when the Saxon was
contemplating building it's car for sale
abroad, it was decided not to retain the
name Saxon" as perhaps not likely to
please French buyers, but to rename it
for that market "Lata. cite" This was
an idea of the late Harry w. Ford.
Whether that name was registered by
the Saxon in France ought to be of in
terest to the new Nash Howard White
combination in Indianapolis, which has
announced its new car as the "Lafay-
cite" There would be two of them
saying "Nous VOLTA" at that rate.

Dutch public opinion has seemed to

In Westminster Hall?
Great state trials in England, of
which there have been none for many
years, have been held in Westminster
hall, but it is not believed that VIII
liam Hohenzollern will be given that
honor. The procedure for his trial
will be laid down by a commission
which will be appointed by a commit
tee which the allies will soon set up
to execute the provisions of the peace
treaty. Five judges will be chosen
by the British, French, Italian and
Japanese governments and II is e&-
pected they will constitute the court.
In that event, the Earl of Reading.
lord chief justice, will sit for Great
Britain. and Edward Douglas White,
chief justice of the supreme court of
the United States, is regarded as the
logical choice of the Anne lean gov
eminent.
Parliamentary gossip holds that the
former emperor certainly should not
be given a privileged position in court,
but should be put in the dock like any
other man charged with a crime.

occurs, and steps for the kaiser's ex-
tradition are expected to be taken
soon, II not already begun. Dutch
newspapers have discussed Count Ho-
henzollern's extradition ever since he
took refuge in Holland and the gen.

wouldbe a humiliation for Holland TO

Around Meade and Fowler the loss

are preparing close-toothed rakes and

near Englewood are mowi-g their
