Essex Almost Doubles
Light Car Endurance
Essex Has Performance Like the Costest Fine Cars
Its World Endurance Record Has Never Been RiuaIed

The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality.
It's 3O37 miles in so hours is a world
endurance record. The test was official.
Supervisors of the A. A. A. certified the
Essex stock chassis In every detail.
Never before was car driven at top
speed for 50 hours. The grind was equal
to years Of road use. Yet the Essex
showed no measurable wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight,
en- even attain mile minute speed,
much less keep it up for 50 hours?

Zihlman Renews Effort to Giue
District Greater Water Supply
Wants Surrey to Start at Once

1t is barely able to get enough for
its own needs.
The city Is now using on an av-
erage of 6S.0OO,000 gallons a day, or
over $50 gallons per capita. There is
much waste.
This waste is principally in the
government departments. the Print
ing Office being the principal Of
fender.
Since the installation of meters
in private houses waste has been
cut down enormously. The only
way waste will be eliminated in
Federal office will be to install
meters.
"As the city is growing the pres
ent water supply will begin to run
short in the near future. The three
Patuxent watersheds will yield 17O.-
100000 gallons daily and will be as
pure a supply as 1t is possible to
get.
"A local commission which would
take up the matter Immediately
would soon have a practical plan
ready for increasing the water sup
ply of the District"

his way, thanks to Shakspere. For
her sincere egotism ultimately was
transformed by his mock-tyranny.

Did she fight for liberty so did

servative charter of the Ancient
Order of the Loving Conquered.
Mr.. Sothern's Petruchio is one of
bis best parts, variable in it's real
subtlety and assumed bravado, and
sudden shifts of mood. Miss Mar
lowe never can be the shrewish,
self assertive, bold creature that
Shakespere depicted in the early
scenes of the play. She cannot sim
ulate perfectly a character so un-
like her own. Later, when katha-
rina's mood mellows, when her
education is nearly complete, Miss
Marlowe creates the illusion of
reality. But always she speaks the
text nobly and is charming in per-
son.

SUFFRAGE VOTE
Believe Adherents in Della.
ware Are Sparring for
Time.

Dover. Del. March 3l.-At the
opening of the session of the legis-
lature at . o'clock this afternoon
an attempt was made in the house
to put the question of ratification
of suffrage to vote, bat Repre-
sentative Hart. its sponsor, sud-
denly changed his mind and refused
to call it up. Five minutes before
he had announced he was tired Of
fooling" and would call a vote to-
day. Several members accused him
of yielding to outside influences.
The general view is that the suf-
fragists found they lacked many
votes of a majority and are sparring
for time. Gov. Townsend's offer to
withdraw as candidate for delegate
to the national Republican conven-
tion has not yet been accepted.
jackson. Miss. March 31.-The
Mississippi house of representatives
today refused to ratify the Fed
eral suffrage amendment. The vote
was "a against to 23 for.
Mississippi thus lost its chance
to be the thirty-sixth State to
ratify. The senate yesterday adopt
ed the resolution.
Suffrage leaders forced vote
after several friends Of the mea-
sure. had fastened here. following
the action of the senate yesterday
in reversing its previous vote.
There was prolonged cheering in
the house when the vote was an
nounced.
Suffrage supporters lost two votes
over the number secured a month
ago, when the house defeated the
measure, 106 to 25.
For the first time since the ses-
sion opened ten days ago talk of
bribery. that ancient attendant at
frequent legislative gatherings in
Dover, was openly banded about
the lobbies of the State House this
afternoon. Anti leaders charged
that a change in an anti vote
would be prima facie evidence that
the vote had been bought and paid
for.
