building with railroad sidetrack IA
cillties available In the city.
The society, whose largest enter

been handicapped by lack OF storage
space to forestall the rising price OF
paper. the monthly requirements be-

where the printing is done at First

In the rotunda OF the Capitol a dra-
matte scene was presented last night
Nearly 1000 District school teachers
made the historic dome ring with
cries for their $500 salary bonus.
As a final desperate measure this
Invasion was agreed upon by the
teachers. Their hope OF getting the
bonus in the general deficiency bill
melted like snow during the day.
Then they modified their forces for
a final appeal to the human side OF
the Senators.
Senator Warren, chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Committee. ad =
dressed them briefly, sympathizing
with their cause. Senator Walsh of
Massachusetts, and Congressman
Kelly OF Pennsylvania, also spoke.
An effort will be made to pass a
resolution in the final hours OF the
session today by which the school
teachers may get the bonus to tide
them over the summer.

A law creating standard or

Legisistion That Failed.
This is what Congress has failed to

NEW STUDEBAKER
LIGHT SIX HERE
Local Studebaker Distributor An
nounces His Ability to Make De.
livery of This Car.

The new Studebaker light six,
which has been awaited with so much
interest in this territory, has arrived,
and McHardy Mower, the Stuaebak-
er distributor, announces that deliv-
cries can now be made in limited
number, due to the fact that the
great s2o,0oo,ooo factory in South
Bend, where this car is built COM
plete, is now in quantity production.
First introduced at the automobile
shows, the light six embodying many
features that were innovations in mo-
tor car design, was hailed as the SEN
sation of the year and heralded by its
makers as the "world's greatest light
weight automobile"
The new light six looks a great
deal longer than it really is, because
Of the rakish cut of the body. The
high, narrow radiator is particularly
pleasing and the lines of the lustrous
black enamel body are low and grace
full, viewed from any angle. The
windshield is tipepd at clever angle
and the Tenders have neat "hug."
Of 112-inch wheelbase, the new
,Studebaker has 40-horsepower mo-

tor, and the car weighs complete but
2,4O0 pounds. 1t is equipped with
32x4-inch cord tires and wheels are
steel felloed.
So perfectly is the new car bal
anced that the chassis can be either
halved or quartered and each section
will show the same weight. A fea-
ture for which a patent application
has been made, the internal hot spot
which surrounds each spark plug, Sc
cures better vaporizations, hotter
fuel, greater economy and better
combustion.
Inclined valve action, found in only
one imported car and in one of the
highest priced American motors, is a
feature of this new light six. 1t is
also the only light weight car in this
country that has the erankshaft and
connecting rods machined all over.
Studebaker distributors all over
the country have issued an invitation
to the public to see this car and ride
in it, and experienced motorists are
being given an opportunity to drive
it themselves, in order to learn better
how it's exclusive features are reflect
ed in the performance and handling
of the car.

"Nine hundred million seals have

approximately nine seals for

"The sale of tuberculosis Christ

sent something different from what
is: offered by the usual run of musi-
cal comedies and in his latest pro-
duction, "Cheer Up Mabel" which
will be presented at the opera house
on Monday, November 20, there are
many unusual innovations. The
popularity of this production every
where it has been seen thoroughly
demonstrates the fact that the book
is amusing, that the music is tune
full, that the girls are pretty, and
that the scenic and costume appoint
ment are on lavish scale. There
are many unusual innovations and
which the electrical effects produce
some remarkable revelations in stage
artistry. One Of the feature novel
ties is the "jeweled Irritation run
way" an Illuminated runboard ex-
tending from the. stage almost to the
back wall of the theatre and the
many numbers introduced on the
'swalk" offer now an amusing enter
tainment to all. Money has been
spent lavishly to make this new mu-
sical play a rousing success.

Americas most beautiful actress;
John G. Getz, ace of comedians;
Helen Janis, Ace Wingfeld, Victoria
Thorn, Bill Barboo, Seymour. Sisters
Joe Coyle, Edna Clayton, Betty

of the cast.
The score of big song hits are suf'
