COLD WEATHER IS
DRAG ON BATTERIES

Automobile storage batteries have
a harder row to hoe during the long
winter days than in summer. Most
motorists fail TO take this into con
sideration." is the opinion Of G. b.
Harris Of the Harris L. s. L. Service
Company. Michigan and Illinois SITS.
THE winter months, with their In.
creased hours Of darkness, tako an
extra toll in electrical energy from
every storage battery. Even If bat
terry has stood up we'll and given good
service during the summer season., the
added energy demanded by winter may
cause it TO fail by being prematurely
discharged
The engine Is always moro difficult
to start in cold weather because Of
the stiffening Of the oil in the pear
ings and around the pistons, and
because the gasoline fails 70 vapor-
lie quickly. This engine resistance
demands a further increase in the
efforts Of the starter and consequently
a more urgent call upon the battery TO
keep up the proper electrical supply.
My opinion is that the car IA that
the car owner should not only give
his battery a little attention. out also
have a fair understanding OF all it's
component parts and know some Of
the reasons why he should visit a
service station at regular periods for
an inspection. This is especially true
during the early winter months.

The pretty ladies in the fashion

this week, where the fiftieth anniver-

observed by fashion show, ''Yester-

This fashion show, as conceived and
arranged by 8. Leopold Kohls, con-
ductor of the Circle orchestra, reminds
one of Zeigfeld "Follies" promenade.
The fashion revue Is staged in three
parts, opening with an old-fashioned
solo by Florence Kinnaird. Her quaint
gown of other days is In sharp con-

follows in what might be termed the
sport scene.

the country has exceeded the sup
ply for several months past. This
demand has been coming mainly from
the cities. but now the country trade
is entering the market in heavier vol
ume than at any other time during
the past five years. This would in
dictate that the farmer is getting his
vocation back on a profitable basis
again and is making improvements
which he has been compelled to neg
lect for several years. This Is espe-
cially noticeable through out the
South. where cotton has made rapid
gain in value.

Grating on a fair basis Of profit Those
people contemplating building should
buy their lumber requirements dur
ing the next two or three months
which will undoubtedly be the low
market, due to the seasonal slump
in demand. During the winter months
the manufacturers are placed on a
more competitive basis and are willing
TO sell on lower margin OF profit in
order TO enable them 10 keep their
plants in operation. The length Of the
rainy season in the South determines
our prices here because about 90 per

years They are enormous consumers
Of high grade lumber and this de
mand is likely TO give prices on high
grade lumber an upward tendency.
IAN indications point to a strong
demand for lumber during the winter
months The public is beginning to
realize that it can save money by do.
ing repair work. alterations and new
construction during the winter months
and this is putting the lumber demand
on yearround basis and has n ten

Of the seasonal slump, which used to
be decided during the winter.

CONSTANTINoPLE, Sept, 60
Mustepha ,Kemal Pasha has given or.
ders that all women and children
may depart from Smyrna, but that
the Greek combatants will be held as

that city today.
The Standard Oil representative at
Smyrna was said to have distln-
glushed himself in aiding British
fugitives to escape.
The head Of the American Inter.
national College at Smyrna refused
to seek shelter and remained to help
the Armenian refugees.
News that Kemal's army was still
moving slowly northward led to re.
newed fears here that the Turk
leader might disregard the advice
Of the French and measure his
strength With the British ct
Chanak.
Fears were felt in some quarters
that Kemal might be moving .up
artillery to attack the British from

OF Chanak, and Bigha, forty.five
miles east Of Chanak.
However. Kemal has notyet reveal.

Bulldog on Wife's Bed,
Husband Asks Divorce

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. "a
Lovers have been known to swim
the Hellespont, brave the wrath OF
parents and do great deeds Of valor
for the sake of their ladies, but there
seems to be limit to the daring In.
spired by infatuation. In the case
OF Henry G. Ziegler, sixty-three years
old, musician, the limit was reached
when his wife took a bulldog to bed
with her at night. He loved his wife,
he said, but his skin was more valu.
able.
Ziegler is suing in circuit court for
an absolute divorce. According 10
his bill of complaint. he was married
on June /, 1884, in Baltimore. He
says he and his wife have four chill
dren. all of age. His wife, he says.
has repeatedly declared that she will
not live with him, and for the last
thirteen years they have. to all in
tents. been separated. For the last
five years, he charges, she has oc.
cupied a separate room in their home
with a grouchy bulldog for a CON-
panion.
His wife, Lena A. Ziegler, 67 years
old, says the bulldog story Is a myth,
She alleges her husband deserted
her.
