Geddes' Cancelled Dinner.

Washington has been more than ill., terested in the recent Lord North cliffe incident This titled proprietor of several great English newspapers was invited to ,a dinner at the British embassy in Washington, in which city he was a temporary guest. Then suddenly the dinner was called off and the invitations which had gone, it is said, to the President ot the Uni ted States. the cabinet officers and 10 many men prominent in official and social life, were recalled.
 Lloyd George recently deprived the Northcliife newspapers of certain news gathering privileges at British official Headquarters in London grant ed to all newspaper representatives, IT, respective Of the political affiliations of the journals which they represent. The privileges were cut off because of criticism which Lord Northelitie had passed on Marquis Curzon, the British secretary for foreign affairs
 The next scene ot the trouble after it left London was Washington, where the incident just recorded occurred. The lie has been passed between Mar quis Curzon and Lord Northclitfe, and at this writing things are still very much up in the air and everybody is stil very red in the face.

Juicy Topic for Gossips.


 These embassy incidents always in- terest Washington, because it loves gossip as it loves politics. The Lord NorthclifIe- Ambassador Geddes-Iloyd George Marquis Curzon affair will not be forgotten at Washington dinner ta- bles for long time to come. Of course this matter was purely Il British ore, except for its American setting. but 1t came pretty near involving the PreSi- dent of the United States in an Ill. fortunate matter, for if he had talked with Lord NorthclifIe for an hour and Il half before the thing occurred, as he did talk with him after 1t had occurred, he would have been accused of taking sides in personal British contro- verSy.
 As 1t was. the President did po. know anything about the canceling of the embassy dinner until after he had seen and talked with Northclife.
 At this writing 1t is impossible to tell whether in any way or not Ambas- sador Geddes put his foot in It, but if he did it is his own government and not that of the United States which must take cognizance of the affair and Of the ambassadors part in it.

Famous Westinghouse "OUerSize" Battery
 ArriUeS In PhOenix

Of special interest to battery dealers and motorists in general, is the arrival in Phoenix, this week, of R. c. Craig. sales manager for Harry w. Harrison, Inc, Arizona and southern California distributors for the famous, uew-prin- ciple oversize" Westinghouse battery, that has won such instant recognition from motor experts throughout the country.
 Mir. Craig will appoint local distrib- utors and service stations during his stay in this territory, and will make his headquarters at the Adams hotel Mon- day. Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 10, II and 12.
 So much interest has been created by the excellent results shown by the first of these batteries put in service and so many inquiries have come in that many advance sales throughout the country have been made on the claims and showing of the first bat teries put in service.
 Years of study and experiment have resulted in the organization of the Westinghouse Union Battery company. Back of this company are the powerful resources. the ability and the years of successful achievement of the Nesting house Air Brake company. The off cers and personnel of the company manufacturing the famous "new-prin- ciple" Westinghouse battery are all we'll known battery men with from ID to 20 years experience in the battery game, having held executive and en- gineering positions with some of the oldest and largest battery concerns in the country.
 Arising from it's splendid record dur ing the war in producing artillery mu- nitions, the Westinghouse Air Brake company was called upon by the war department to create facilities and un- dertake the production of the LeRhone rotating airplane motor. The air brake company through it's subsidiary. the Union Switch and Signal company @ once erected an immense plant and turned out the best rotary airplane mo- tor ever built in this or any other coun- try, as officially characterized in the congressional airplane production in- vestigation.
 After the close of the war, fin a sur vey of the field of production in which to utilize these extensive new plant facilities, the management of the Vest inghouse Air Brake company perceived the urgent demand for an increased supply of an improvement in storage batteries. It recognized the positive need for battery service of real value to motor car owners and appreciated their impatience for the advent of a storage battery with a dependably longer life.
 It has undertaken to supply these demands through the organization of the Westinghouse Union Battery com pany.

SILVER DOLLARS HARD TO GET

Coins of gold or silver will be more popular than ever this year as Christ mas gifts, and the supply of gold in denominations of $5, S10 and s20 is large, while the hardest coin to ob- tain is a bright new silver dollar.
 A federal reserve note or a na- tiOnal bank note will be exchanged for gold without question at the treasury department. but so limited is the SUD- ply of silver dollars that they are given out only in exchange for silver certificates, and those certificates, so generally found a few years ago are now hard to obtain.
 "Fen new silver dollars, please" said a man presenting a federal reserve note at a window in the cash room of the department today.
 You will have to have silver cer- tificates," replied the official at the window.
 Can you give me two ;5 gold pieces for this2'
 Certainly" was the answer.
 That's funny" said the applicant with a puzzled frown. Here is a fed eral note that is good for gold but not for silver"
 It was then explained to him that the face of the note called for its re- demption in gold, but that the ex- change for silver was a matter of ac- commodation, which the limited supply of silver dollars would not allow. He departed to hunt up the certificates which call for redemption in silver.
 In addition to the personal applica- tions for coins for Christmas pres ents the treasury department is SUD-
