Earl Is Newcomer
In Motor Car Field

The new Earl car is one of
the new cars of the year, making
its first year, handled by the
Drown Motor Co. of Barre. 1t
was much heralded by prelimin-
airy announcements, and when it
arrived about a month ago more
than lived up to the expectations
aroused.
It's makers announce it as a
happy combination of beauty and
utility, coupled with me- hanical
excellence of design. The lines
are low and racy, but the seats
are luxuriously comfortable, eX-
cellent vision being afforded
from the rear seats.
This manufacturer seems to
have accomplished considerable
triumph in body designs, which
are neat, clean-out, graceful and
straightlined. They include a
touring car, sedan, brougham
and roadster, in addition to de-
livery car. The touring car seats
five passengers, is beautifully fin
ished, has deep cushions pitched
at the correct angle for comfort,
ample leg room front and rear,
and has walnut dash, on which
the instruments are mounted.

London, Feb. 24.-The embarrass.

Ard Pheis' agreement to postpone
the free state parliamentary cleo.
tions has thrown the relations be-
tween England and Ireland are en-
phasized by the newspapers.
The political writers, however, do
not profess to clarity the situation,
being content to take the attitude
adpoted yesterday by Secretary for
Colonies Churchill in the house of
commons, and Lord Chancellor Biz
kenhead in the lords, that not enough
was known yet concerning the action
of the Sim Fein convention to form
a mature judgment upon it.
o The writers endorse the govern
ment's suspension of further con-
sideration of the Anglo-Irish treaty
bill in the imperial parliament until
further knowledge is gained, but be-
lieve the measure may be taken up
next Thursday or Friday if the mat
ter meanwhile has been Strengthened
