PACKARD S|NGLE-S|X
BUILT To SATISFY
SMALL CAR DEMAND
Standards in Materials and
Workmanship Are Main
tanned in New Model.

A new Packard model, the Single
Six, which is lighter than the Twin
Six but of the same quality and which
will sell for medium price, has been
put on the market, it is announced by
w. w. Wight of the T. C. Power
Motor Co., distributor of the Packard
cars.
The record which this new car has
made in the tests, which have covered
the equivalent of more than three
years of hard service, indicate that it
marks the opening of new era in the
manufacture of lightweight automo-
biles as respects both performance and
economy. 1t gives gasoline mileage
up to II miles to a gallon, according to
the driver and road conditions, and
runs 1000 miles on gallon Of oil.
Some of the tires on the test cars have
been in fair condition after $4,000
miles service, and an average of above
10000 miles to tire is confidently
expected. The condition of the test
cars after thousands Of miles of rough
usage, justifies the engineers in pre-
dieting that the life of the car will
be 10 years.
Production of the new car has been
established without interfering with the
production of the Twin. Preparations
for it have been under way for months,
and the company expects to turn out
at least $4,000 of the cars during 1921.
Bodies are made in four standard mod
els: five passenger touring; two-pas-
senger roadster, and sedans, and
coupes.
Designed to Meet Demand.
''The SingleSix has been designed"
Mr. Wight declares, ''to meet the de-
mand for vehicle for general purposes

prices Of fuel and tires, that will be
easy to maneuver in traffic and will
park in a short space at the curb, but
that will have the highest quality and
the reliability, endurance and appear
ance that go only with quality. To ac-
complish these things the Packard de-
signers have built lighter car than
the Twin, one with a shorter wheel
base, and with an engine having six

LENIENCY FOR ERRING
 UNDERPAID BANK CASHIER

New York, Aug. s-Expressing the belief that the defendants did not re- ceive salaries commensurate with their living requirements, Federal Judge Shep- pard exercised mercy today in passing sentence on a bank cashier and his as- sistant who pleaded guilty to misappli- cation of $500 of the banks money in the past two years.
 H. B. Rundall. cashier of the First National Bank of Armenia, New York, and Mrs. Judith B. Demming, assistant cashier, were sentenced to serve one day each In the custody of United States Marshal Mccarthy and to pay fines of $500 and S250. respectively.
 Judge Sheppard pointed out that nei- ther of the defendants used the stolen money in speculation and that the. bank had been reimbursed by them for it's loss. He sharply criticised the bank of- itcials. however, for attempting to con- ceal the defalcations by permitting the attendants to make restitution without calling the thefts to the attention of po- lice authorities.

 London. Avg. (by The A. P.)- Thousands of Russian refugees are pouring into Brest Litovsk-2,00O day many crawling on lands and knees. too weak to stand, and scores dying in dHgouts along the roads. h
 An appalling picture of the desola- tion and death in the famine areas in Russia is given by F. L. Thompson, in charge of the Brest Litovsk district for the Amei ican Relief Administration and the European Children's Fund, who ar rived here ,ast night.
 No one who hasn't seen suffering, said he, can imagine how gnastly it is. So awful are the hunger bangs that the bodies become swollen and bloated, and the cheeks are Duffed out. This stage is the prelude of death, which the suf- ferers say is the happiest stage of all. Women and children. as well as men. aae to be seen in this pitiable condition they have dragged themselves up to me begging for pennies anu iood. At one place I came across ten fam flies. formerly among the wealthiest who were living on bread made from i grass, mud and straw.

Washington, Aug. S-The Willis-Camp- bell anti-beer bill was passed by the sen ate late today 39 to 20, and sent to con- ference with the house wit3 the prospect Of it's final enactment before the week end.
 Upon being informed of the action. treasury officials said that the beer reg ulations which have been drafted and are ready for Secretary Melons sigma ture. will not be issued pending action by the senate and house conferees. T-e regulations would provide for use of medical beer under the ruling of former Attorney General Palmer a ruling which the bill is designed to overcome. The ban against the prescribing of beer by physicians and limitations of prescrip- tions of wine and whiskey contained in the bill as passed by the house were vir- tually uncaanged by the senate. but a few important amendments were added. These included a provision to restrict operations of the prohibition enforcement officers by prohibiting searches of any attempts at searching of private proper ty CT premises without search warrants violation of this clause would be a misdemeanor subject to Aae of sI.000 and one years imprisonment. Penalties of five years imprisonments and $1, ,00O fines were provided for persons atempt- ing searches while posing as prohibition agents.
 The search ard seizure amendment was offered by Senator Stanley, democrat Kentucky, as g substitute for an amend ment by Senator Reed, democrat, Mis- souri proposing more drastic penalties Il was amended without a roll call.
 Fourteen republicans and six democrats voted against passage of the bill. G'hs republican opponents were Senators Ball Delaware; Brandgee.

EXPERTS HEARD ON UPPER SILESIAN CONTROVERSY

Paris Aug. 8 (By the R. P.)-The members of the allied supreme council are now gathered in Paris to settle the controversy over Upper Silesia. Experts were heard today representing both the French and British governments. They presented arguments for the frontier lines insisted upon for the moment by their governments.
 The Italian delegate Signor Torre Fran ca, announced that the Italian govern meW had no boundary to propose, but ccunselled a compromise. He withdrew the delimination which rad previously been submitted Ivy Count Sforda the then Italian foreign minister, for considera- tion by the British and French premiers.
 The statements of the experts were translated for the benefit of all the dele gates, the French into English, and the Italian into both French and English.
 There were lighter moments however. during the session, the boredom of ge- ographical lines and figures being re- lieved by witticism among the delegates. allusion even being made to MT. Lloyd George having had his hair cut which gave him mush sterner appearance than usual and possibly forebode i'll.
 The three premiers, Llcyd George, Bri- and and Bonomi, all wore business suits. There were only three top hats and morn ing coats in evidence; these were worn by the American ambassador Mr. liar vey and J. Butler Wright and Arthur Bliss Lane, the other American repres- entatives.
 Premier Briand after warmly welcom- ing Ambasador Harvey, said with laugh that it was pretty hot outside but he heped the atmosphere would be cooler inside.
 The members of the various delegations are deeply concerned as 70 what part the American government is likely to take. Ambassador Harvey is spoken of as possible arbitrator between the sharp Ily differing contentious of Great Britain and France. It is assumed by the dele gates toat he will ask Washington for specific instructions as questions arise upon which it may seem desirable to give an opinion or to make suggestions. But l the ambassador is saying little on the 1 subject. He has had various confer ences, among them with Sir Robert | Stevens Horne chancellor of the British Exchequer
 l General Lerond, head of the inter-allied commission in Upper Silesia, who has been the central figure in the difficulties arising in that country between the Ger. mans and Poles, will make a statement before the council tomorrow after which i the general discussion of the subject will begin.
 President Millerand has invited tho delegates to lunca. at the Chateau Ram. bouillet. Thursday, and it has been sug gested that the council hold it's session there to save time.

 Another amendment rejected was by Senator Spencer and ould have given physicians power to prescribe wines and distilled spirits in unlimited quantities The bill limits wine prescriptions to one fourth of gallon and that cf spirituous beverages to one half pint by zlco5oIic content to an individual in ten days No change was made. in the house clause fixing one hundred prescriptions as the maximum for a physician in ninety days except by special order of the prohibi- tion commissioner.
 The drive of the opposition fsrees against the bill also resulted in u5e adop- tion of several minor amendments mod flying the house bill.

Another would bar tae prohibition officers from revoking or requiring changes in formulas of manu- lecturers making products containing al cohol unless N should be determined that such manufactures was being used as lntoXieatlng beverages m increased colume in communities.
 An amendment by Senator Wzdsworth republican.

T5fs. it was under stood was to permit return of quantities of spurious liquors sent abroad but which cannot be sold. .srr No essential changes were made in house provisions extending the federal prohibition laws to all territory under government jurisdiction, including Hawaii and the Virgin stands. The senate also retained the house clause relieving from federal taxes all distilled spirits lest by !, r.eft. accidental fire of other means while in transportation of a common carrier or from a bonded warsaouse. providing there should be no connivance. negiigencs or fraud.
