CARELESS DRIVING OF
NEW CARS SPELLS RUIN

A fraction over thirtytive per cent
of all new motor cars are permanently
impaired in the first 1000 miles Of
travel, says a recent report from mo-
tor experts who have made a survey
Of the automobile market and who are
urging statesmen to make fewer pre-
tentions of speed possibilities for new
cars.
A large number of purchasers of
automobiles, who have listened to the
proclamations of statesmen as to the
speed obtainable from the machines
they buy are tempted to test the vera
city of the statesmen and the ability Of
their cars and fall prey to the attrac-
ton which speed almost invariably
holds for the new driver. The result
is not always discernable at once. but
develops within few hundred miles Of
travel, too late, oftimes for mechani-
cal skill to rectify the damages and too
late for the owner to make any claim
of imperfection In the car.
rigid course Of instruction to
statesmen to the end that less talk Of
speed be made in the sale of cars, is

No Immediate Extensions to
Present Factory Contem-
plated by Leaders.

The appearance Of StutZ closed
models Of four and six-cylinder types
at the New York Show early next
month VIII mark an epoch in the
annals Of Indiana automotive history.
For years, and even since the factory
first produced cars designed by H c.
Stutz. the company has confined its
models purely to racing-type cars of
decidedly sport vogue.
The advent Of both the six-cylinder
and the enclosed features in the Stutz
family constitutes a change Of man
afacturine policy, due largely to the
influences of the Schwab operatives
who assumed direction of the com
pany after Charles NJ. Schwab, East
ern steel magnate, purchased the con

who staged a sensational corner OF
the stock on the floor of the stock
exchange two years ago.
Has Stuck BY F0urs
The addition Of the six-cylinder
cars to the Stutz line is regarded as
the greater of the two deviations
from manufacturing policy as the
company has always stuck with the

racing type car. What the company

The Stutz factory has an estimated
annual capacity OF $500 cars Of the

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

The necessity of buying foreign ex- change for foodstuffs, situation which Poland faced from the begin ming. has almost passed and argi- culturists estimate that. with few ex- captions the countrys own products will meet the requirements This Is expected to relieve the constant drain upon the government treasury which brought flour and other necessities from America and elsewhere and sold them at a loss to the people.
 To assist in meeting current ex- penses an emergency tax legislation has been enacted by the Diet. from which a return of something like so,- o0o, 900 marks is expected. The regular tax assessment had been re- adjusted with the aim of bringing in return which will offset the pres- ent depreciated yalse of the Polish mark and the increased cost of gov ernment.

PROTEST ARRESTS OF kGITATORS BY
 INDIAN POLICE

Calcutta Feb, The action of
 the Indian government in arresting
 many hundreds of agitators in the non-co-operation movement and oth- CTS known as Congress or Khalifat volunteers in consequence of the rrots and other incidents which attended
 the visit of the Prince of Wales to
 India, has evoked several formal pro
 tests.
 The governments attitude Is de-
 nounced in a protest signed by 160 lawyers at Madras as "a campaign
 of repression and abuse of the ordin- ary provisions of the law for political
 purposes, involving unwarranted and
 unconstitutional interference with the
 liberty of citizens"
 ed, that the wholesale and unjusti-
 liable arrests and imprisonments of
 public-spirited citizens for political activities constitute a grave menace to public safety and express our firm conviSion that such measures inaugu- rated in a time of law and order are really subversive to law and order" Moderate party in Calcutta have is- sued a manifesto deploring the initia- tion of oppressive policy simultan- eous with the visit of the Prince of Wales. They declare that coercion is no remedy for political unrest and that a policy of repression will de- feat its own end and lead to serious results.
 Lord Reading, the viceroy, how ever, contends that the government policy is not one of repression. De- lending that policy in replying to an address presented by the Bengal Ma hajan Sabha, he declared that mo greater fallacy exists than to suggest that the government means only to govern by resort to force"
 He pointed out that the govern ment was bound to maintain law and l. zens and that it became necessary for, the government to exercise power and authority to combat intimidation and coercion brought to bear upon persons to force them to take action In which they did not believe.
 The Viceroy charged that the ar rests in Calcutta were in most in stances forced upon the government. He asserted that the political leaders had defied the law for the purpose of being arrested and obtaining sympa- thy. made to force the government to | make more arrests.
 That, he said; was the situation dis passionately stated. Although he would increase the state of tension already existing. the Viceroy said that he policy of the government In pre-. venting intimidation and unlawful oppression and of enforcing due re- gard for law must persist.
 The Viceroy reiterated statements he had previously made that there Is 10 intention by the Indian govern rnent to interfere with opposition to
 he government or with the express sion of strong feelings against 1t, pro vided that the law Is observed.
 '"The government has never wish d to shut out discussion" he assert ed Quite the opposite. I have on many occasions since I arrived indi- -ated that my government wished to know and remedy legitimate gr.ev- ances Nothing that has happened has changed this policy"

TAYLOR HAD SON,

New York, Feb. 7.-willian Des- mond Taylor, moving picture direc- tor who was murdered in Los An geles has 26 year old son, Reuben Davis TayIor, born in Texark ana- Tex, according to Carl L. Gregory. moving picture producer of New Ro- chelle, who met MT. Taylor soon after Tay1or'S entry into the movie field at Los Angeles.
 The son is by another woman than the wife Taylor deserted here, Greg ory said, when he went west to start life anew under another name.
 Gregory learned of the sons exist ence while he was chief instructor at the Signal Corps School of Photogra- phy at Columbia University, during the war.
 While taking applications of young men desiring to enter the branch of service" said Gregory. "a young man came in one day and introduced him self as Reuben Davis Taylor. In mak- ing out his application he gave the name of his father as William D. Tay- Tor. I immediately became interest ed and 1t did not take me long to es- tablish that William D. Taylor was the one that I had known on the coast.
 mother had lived with Taylor only a short time. He spoke very bitterly of his father, though mostly in a gen. eral way. He did not tell me who his m other was before she began living with Taylor and wrote her name on the application blank simply as Mrs. Taylor" I lost track of the boy short ly after his acceptance into the service but I kept his application blank and I am confident I still have it in my possession.
 'I remember that during our con- versation, young Taylor remarked that his father had deserted his moth er."

EVER HEAR OF A FISH MINE?

Tn certain parts Of the world min ing for fish is avery profitable occa- patton.
 Many thousands Of years ago the oceans covered large portions of the world which now are dry land. The whole face of the globe has altered, for you may now find high mountains in places where formerly there were plains or even great seas.
 As the mountains were heaved up by subterranean eplosions, the waters receded, leaving behind the remains of countless millions of their inhabi- tants. That Is why we find in Swift zerland enormous deposits of fossil seafish hundreds of miles away from the sea-
 These fossils retain the oil that was present in the bodies of living fish thousands of years ago. Matured by it's immense age this oil has extraor- dinary curative properties when used in the treatment of chilblains and certain forms of skin diseases.
 The fossils are dug out, often from considerable distances beneath the soil. and the oil known as ichthyoI is distilled from them- It is etremely valuable. for a great quantity of fos- siI fish is needed before a pint Of oil can be produced.

ANCIENT POSTAL SERVICE

Most people regard the postal ser vice as a modern institution; yet this is not so, for regular postal services hae existed for more than two thou sand years.
 One of the earliest systems for the delivery of letters was established by Persia more than five centuries before the Christian era.
 In those days letters were not written on paper. They took the form of short sticks, on which 8 message was inscribed either by means of paints, or by burning it on with a kind of primitive poker-work outfit These letters were delivered by reg ula.r relays of postmen over thou sands of miles of country.
 Even the telegraph was in use in a crude form. Messages could be sent in an hour or two over distances of hundreds of miles by means of a system of shouters. who passed them on from one to the other

 '-The Italian public expects too much Of the government. Every traveller should take some insect pow der with him and squirt it over the seats before he sits down. But there are other reasons why we can't get our trains clean.
 'The men whose business it Is to do so say they won't clean out first and second class railway coaches be- cause the middle classes travel in them. A political question, my dear friend. The other day some cleaners left a first-claSs carriage dirty and the Inspector, disgusted, fined the guilty men three days pay. What happened? All the cleaners kicked up such a fuss that we had no choice except to remit the fines; otherwise there would have been a general strike on the railway
