Berlin, Oct. 3.
All standard makes OF German auto
mobiles and a large variety Of new
models were shown at the automobile
show in Berlin. the changes resulting
from mechanical concentration on auto
mobiles instead Of airplanes. whose man.
ufacture has been forbidden by the Allied
Control Board. Some OF tho new models
are along airplane lines and aim at re-
duction in air resistance. The same in
fuence was noted In motor construction,
where simplicity and accessibility are
striven for. Many had overhead cam
shafts without q crankcase and caslkets
like Liberty motors. The new Bosch
magnetic model incorporates lighting and
ignition in one piece. thus eliminating
q special lighting apparatus.
Practically all the cars shown were
equipped with self-starterS and the drive
in most cases shifted from right to left
The Krupps exhibited trucks. German
Continental cord tires, made by firm
said to be connected with the Goodrich
company, were used on sixty-one per
cent Of all the cars shown. The firm
claims that It is developing large mar
ket in America for both solid tires and
tubes.
The eensation Of the show was the
Rumpler so-caIled drop car An old air
plane maker produced the model. which
has the appearance Of q submarine and
Is said to reduce air resistance to q
minimum. The steering gear Is placed
In the front but the engine and all parts
connected with II are in the rear, thus
assuring more effective cooling and re-
ducing dust and gas difficulties.
The Maybach Arm, former Zeppelin
motor manufacturers. exhibited car
without a hand gear shaft and with
new clutch arrangement somewhat sim
liar to that used on the Ford. Some OF
the novelties were q Mauser single track
car and a Rivo propeller car.
Germany has 10000 automobiles
averaging one for each $50 inhabitants
compared with 100000 in France and
$50, 900 In England. Numerous buyers
attended the uhow and the output OF
firms making popular models Is booked

A new peril that has arisen in the
devastated regions of France Is doing
more to prevent reconstruction than Is
Germany's failure to pay France what
she owes, according to social workers
there. 1t Is the same peril that the
Volstead act hoped to suppress In the

of absinthe before the war.

who were buried hurriedly there In the
three great offensives in that region.

meet the situation for II the men and
women found guilty of drunkenness. or
even habitual drunkards, are fined or
sentenced to jail terms the whole work

a few of the workers would be willing to

that insufficient funds were available to

II is estimated that one airplane could
carry enough bombs to extinguish a
blazing building.
The scity's experts. however. are ex-
pressing doubt as to the feasibility of
the plan. declaring that the air cur
rents set UP by the burning buildings
would interfere with the airplane
pilots to such an extent that 1t would
be impossible to drop the bombs on
the proper targets, although propo-
nents of the scheme declare that this
could be easily overcome by dropping
the bombs from a height Of a thousand
yards.
Experiments will be carried on In

ascertaining whether airplanes win

Unless their political influence in the
French Chamber of Deputies is strong
enough to save them, $4,000 Government
employees will lose their Jobs by Janu-
cry i. This Will be one result of the
new economy programme of the Finance
Commission OF the Chamber of Deputies,
which has just demanded that Paul
Doumer. Minister OF Finance, take an
axe and chop 1900. 100000 francs from
his budget for next year. to make II
meet the estimated receipts, instead of
doubling the present sales tax, as he
proposed doing to balance the budget.
The decision has caused shivers In all
French departments including the rail-
ways, and furious discussion has fol-
lowed 1t. M. Doumer insists 1t is Inn
possible to make such economies, as the
budget now shows a cut of more than
5000, 100000 francs under last year.
He offers a compromise by increasing
import duties.
The commission, however, Is adopting
n firm attitude and suggests that not
only sweeping disDissals be made In all
Government departments but that there

10 per cent reduction be made In every
department This would mean further
cuts in the French military establish
rnent, the budget of the War Depart
ment alone still representing 20 per cent.

budget
Many French newspapers. including
the Temps, warn against any further
usa of the axe in this department, in
sisting that the army cannot be reduced
further without imperiling France.

A new effort will be made in the
forthcoming session of the Chamber of
Deputies to remove the anti-builfighting
laws from the statute books despite the
protests OF the League Against Cruelty
TO Animals. which contends that such
action would be a step backward in the
history of civilization.
The fact Is. however. that there are
certain sections Nof France. notably
Mines. Aries and several Pyrenees
towns. where bullfighting Is almost a
daily sport regardless OF the law The
Mines arena seats $4,000 persons, and
frequently the receipts for one bullfight
exceed 100000 francs
The bullfights being illegal, the State
naturally gets no portion of tho receipts
from the sale OF tickets, and as the
Treasury needs cash leading parlia-

would be better to legalize bullfightIng,
thereby putting the bull rings on the
