Motor Industry Has Long
Record of Failures.

WASHINGTON.-More than 400
makes of automobiles have ar-
peared on the markets Of the world
since France introduced the first H.
1868, the Smithsonian Institute re-
ports.
The rapid rise of the industry, as
manufacturers of everything from
bird cages to guns turned their fac
tories into automobile plants, was
attended by sudden ruin for most
of them. The course of the industry
is reflected in a loan exhibit of the
institution prepared by Fank Walk
er Of Pontiac, Mich. Walker is
making collection of name plates
from as many cars as possible. His
exhibit consists Of the plates he has
collected.
The French idea of an automobile
propelled by an internal combustion
engine had spread to Austria, Gre
Britain and Italy by 1889, with a
general broadening of scope until
1t reached Belgium, Switzerland and
the United States, where the indus
try has seen its greatest develop
ment. Two-thirds of the 300 cars on
the market in 1875 were extinct
within Is years, however. Spain's
first car had a belated appearance,
in 1902.
A boom came in 1905 and 1906
when Hugarians, Danes, Russians,
Swedes, Austrians and Canadians
entered the field Indications point
ed to the industry taking it's. place
as the great industry of the future,
causing makers of bicycles, guns,
sewing machines, telephones and
typewriters to convert their facto-
rieS into automobile plants.
The result was ruin for many.
The market for the relatively crude
and expensive machines were re-
stricted to the wealthy and near
wealthy. Only those makers with
new fundamental ideas to incorpo-
rate into their products survived.
The approximate record of the diff
ferent makes put out follows:
United States, 1850; Great Brit
ain, 610; France, 480; Germany, 240;
Italy, 80; Belgium, 20; other coun-
tries, l35.

Dawson was not surprised as Ara related her first meeting with young John Douglas, but the young mans connection with Arnold Ben thorne was still mystifying, The detective waited for Ara to continue

Benthorne's picture, they compared all their notes and records, even handwriting, and concluded that Ara's father, the gambler Benson, and Arnold Benthorne were one and the same.
 But proving 1t was another mat ter. They came to New York and determinedly set about learning all they could about Benthorne.
 The financier had refused to see Douglas, but did agree to an inter- view with Ara after she had mem tioned her mothers name, and a few personal matters known only to her mother and father.
 It was the smudged fingerprint on the letter that broke Benthorne'S denials, Ara told Dawson. Only when she confronted him with that irrefutable proof did he finally admit that he was her father.
 "Then he made all sorts of promises, If I would only go away, never come back He had no more love for me than for my mother, His only fear was that his social position might be endangered, that a scandal might hurt his business. His one idea was to get rid of me as quickly and as painlessly as possible. ."
 You're lucky Benthorne didn't live longer" Dawson said. He might have removed you perma- nently. |. But why, after you had left the house earlier in the evening, did you come back with this silly marriage stuff?"
 "That was my idea, Captain" !" Douglas replied. figured # I could get in the house for few minutes, I might recover Ara's proofs; and I wanted a chance at Benthorne myself. I know he robbed my uncle"
 But Miss Johnson had no fur ther use for those letters and pie lures, unless she really intended to try to ruin Benthorne."
 T wanted to do just that, Cap tain." Ara said. T intended to wreck everything that Arnold Benthorne had-his marriage, his business, his entire life. He showed no mercy to my mother. |. .'
 "So you suggested that Douglas came back for the proofs. .. Did you tell him about the secret en- trance from the street2"
 T didn't know you knew of a secret entrance, Ara" Douglas ir,- terrupted. T did not know you had been here last night, I thought" Dawson directed his next question Douglas.
 Did 1t occur to you, Douglas that this girl might have wanted to have you discovered in the house, to cover up murder she in- tended to commit?"

BOROUGH BLANKED BY ANSONIA l2.0

Naugatuck, Dec. 1.--The Nauga- tuck high football team completed it's season yesterday with a defeat by Ansonia. 12-0, but the Garnet eleven threatened to upset its heav- ily.favored rival. The game was played at Ansonia and saw Ansonia strike twice through the air ill the first half, to score. White grabbed a pass from the five-yard line to tally first and Lewis leaped to catch a 34-yard pass to score the second touchdown, this coming in the sec- ond period.
 The complexion of the game changed swiftly and Naugatuck' playing good football, drove to the Ansonia 7-yard line cnly to have Carroll of Ansonia intercept what was planned as @ touchdown pass. The Foleymen, undaunted, again marched to the l4-yard line but lost the ball on downs. A fight between Arbusto of Naugatuck and Sandwich of Ansonia occurred in the third period after the Ansonian had taker a lateral after the whistle had blown and ran down the field. Players and spectators joined in the scrap but police brought order quickly.

John Marshall Gave Constitution Power

A LTHOUGH he had no part in A drafting the Constitution of United States, John Marshall, fourth, and by common consent, greatest of chief justices, contrib. uted as much to that document as any of its formal authors.
 Marshall looked beyond the America of post-Revolutionary War days, to the nation of today. His decisions molded American constitutional law and influenced the whole course of American pol. itics. He was the real founder of the American judicial dynasty. A century after Marshall's death, his doctrines remain a most pow erful influence in modern United States.
 Marshall accomplished four great aims: he established respect for the Constitution and for the Court as the interpreter and de- fender of the Constitution; he es. abolished the authority of the federal government in all matters properly within its jurisdiction; he held the states within their spheres of action; he gave am. biguous phrases of the Constitu. ton a broad interpretation; he gave business the protection of the Constitution and used business to strengthen government.
 Marshall is shown above, on the $5 dark green U. s. stamp, issued June 5, 1903.

LandIord-Tenan Court
CHANCES Are Studied

Proposed changes in the landlord
and tenant branch of Municipal
Court were being studied today by
the judges after hearing a subcom-
mittee of the Washington Housing
Associations present suggestions yes
terday.
Among the most important changes
advanced by the subcommittee, head
ed by former Municipal Court Judge
James A. Cobb, were waving the fl
ing of an affidavit of defense, further
reduction of the cost of filing an ac-
ton and hearing Of cases in the aft
ernoon instead of the morning.
Judge Ellen K. Raedy opposed the
latter proposal on the grounds that
most of the cases involve housewives,
who, the judge contended, are more
free from household duties in the
morning.
On the proposal to reduce the cost,
it was pointed out that the fee has
already been lowered from ST to IS
cents, and whether the cost could be
reduced further depends on the
operation expenditure.
Other judges hearing the proposals
were George A. Aukam, Nathan Cay
ton and Armand Scott. The sub
committee included, besides Judge
Cobb, Seton Darr, president of the
District Bar Association; Bernard
Wyckoff of the Commerce Depart
ment, DR.. Morris Schmeckebier of
Brookings Institute and Leifur Mag
nusson, secretary of the Interna-

Curb Service Banned
For Alcoholic Drinks

Sale of alcoholic beverages on
trays in curb service was banned
yesterday by the Commissioners in
upholding a regulation recently
adopted by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
The regulation had been appealed
to the Commissioners for a group
of beverage dealers by Roger White
ford, attorney. The decision to ban
the practice turned on the Liquor
Act and regulations under it pre-
scribing that hard liquor drinks
may be served to customers only at
tables and beer and light drinks at
tables or counters. 1t was held that
trays attached to cars in curb
service did not constitute either ia
bles or counters.
The board had explained that the
rule did not bar service of drinks
at tables in beer gardens.
