THE downfall of Carpenter, according to ring

nervous when he entered the ring as a gentleman
in drug store buying a powder puff for the
women folks. The French champion could have
knocked him out with tap the chin. That is
what Carpenter would have done two years ago.
But he had learned lately to box in front of the
camera-which is the direct antthesis of boxing

Progress in Auto World.

THE automobiles of tomorrow probably will
bear little resemblance to the automobiles of
today. The magnificent cars exhibition
at the closed salon at Convention Hall are
steps in the evolution of transportation and repre-
sent tremendous advances over the machines Of
FIVE years ago But substantial, speedy and ar.
tistic as they are they merely pebbles on the
beach when the possibilities Of the future-say
fifteen years from now-are considered.
DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz electrical wizard, an
nounces plans for an electrical which will weigh
less than a ton, about forty miles an hour and
require charging only every 400 miles Probably
the cost of operating OF these will be about
cent mile-a cheaper rate than ever has been
attained to date
Perhaps other inventors in the United States
have plans under way for the construction of still
more miraculous machines. DR.. Steinmetz by no
means has monopoly the ingenuity Of Amer
ica. Tire troubles and engine troubles will be elm
mated completely. The tourist of ten years from
will look back upon the auto driver of today,
who occasionally must stop to change tires as the
average citizen with a bath tub in his house looks
back upon the man of twenty-five years ago who
never had heard of such contrivance.
Most of the advances scored by the autorno-
bile industry have been in the line of gasoline cars
The of the electric car still lies ahead But in
the day when automobiles will become the common
property OF everyone the attention OF electricians
will be required because the strain will be too great
upon the gasoline resources of the world Then
DIR. Steinmetz and his fellows will come into their
own. Electricity will be much cheaper than gaso-
line. Poorer people afford to make abundant
use of their machines
The automobile has become such a common
necessity that no steps be dsregarded in
bringing it to perfection.
The progress each year is astonishing Con-
vention Hall this week has been transformed into
a fairyland of accomplished miracles. visit is
more calculated to excite wonder than visit to
the magic chambers of Merlin. There is a tre-
mendous difference between the automobiles of this
year and the automobiles of last year. Not only
are the models more perfect but the prices are
lower.
But the man who delays purchasing an auto
mobile now because he thinks they will be better
and cheaper two years from now is as foolish as
the man who does not live in house now be-
he thinks houses will be built better in the
future. He is the sort of man who would delay
being born because the millennium is coming He
is the sort of man who would lie asleep all winter
long because spring is coming.

ATTEMPTS TO PROVE

~what PrOhibftt0n Has Done to
America by Fabian Franklin.
(Harcourt. Brace & Coz
Note that the title reads ito"
Amer1caAnot for" The prohibi-
tionists have kept US pretty well sup
piled with propaganda telling US all
about the really millennial changes
that have been wrought by the adop-
tion Of their favorite nostrum as the
national cure-all for the nations all
ments. In the above book the author
endeavors to convince the reader that
prohibition or rather rhe Eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution, is a
body blow to that instrument. I'm
doubtedly he brings some potent
arguments to bear; but after all is
said and done. the reader is left very
much in the attitude OF the average
prohibitionist when driven into a cor
ner by logic, which is. We'll. what
are you going to do about it,"
Prohibition as a national institu-
tion is with us, imbedded in our
fundamental law: to get IL out Of
there will be no easy task. as the
author points out clearly, even
though the majority Of the people
want It out. That is one of the pecu-
liarities of majority rule In our coun-
try. So fearful were the trainers of
the Constitution that even a majority
OF the people themselves might be-
come unreasonably arbitrary, that
they endowed the minority with
rights that permit them to check the
majority almost indefinitely. The
author goes on the assumption that a
majority of the people do not want
prohibition, or at least the drastic
type with which we are now familiar.
People feel in their hearts" he
says that they are confronted with
no other choice but that OF either
submitting to the full rigor OF prohi-
bition. Of trying to procure a law
which nullifies the Constitution. or Of
expressing their resentment against
an outrage on the first PRINCIPLES Of
the Constitution by contemptuous
disregard Of the law" Rather an
unhappy choice, though subsequently,
Mn Franklin endeavors to show a
way out that escapes these alterna-
uves more or less successfuIIy, On
the whole the book is well worth
rsafing by those who take their
opinions from no one ready made. 1t
contains much that is strongly de-
oatable on both sides. and handles
the subject matter with a degree of
fairness that is rather unusual in
discussions OF such hotly contested
questions as prohibition. Debaters
asd debating societies should by all
means possess the book regardless of
the side they propose to sustain.

Let us examine this publication a

a petition with the Public Utilities
Commission asking that our fare be
reduced to some unnamed figures
We were hardly expecting such ac-

We want to say TO the Capital Trac-
tion Company that it is the public
spirited citizens of Washington who
are making this fight. They are the
ones who will never rest until this
matter is adjusted. Said pamphlet
presents formidable array OF
figures to refute Mr. Clayton's state
