FRIDAY NIGHT MUSICAL NIGHT “Mimle huth power to sooth the savage 't mellifluously murmured Clarke G.

A 100-gallon tank, filled with gasoline, and mounted on the truck chassis, was sealed at the start of the run in San Francisco by the city sealer of welghts and measures. He also unsealed it at the end, together with the speedometer registering the total mileage. During its journey from San Francisco the truck traveled all over northern Cali- fornia and encountered every concelvable form of service experfence. The truck | | was stopped and started over 1,100 times. The object constantly was o run the truck under conditions of every day ser- vice. The average of twelve miles to the gallon proved the constancy of the one and a quarter-ton truck to varying road conditions. One of the features of the run was the | remarkabie performance of the Goodrich | tires with which the truck was equipped. Over mountaing and through broken road strotches with their attendant. difficulties, the tires gave perfect service and at the finish in San Francisco appeared almost as new as when taken from the stock- | room shetves.

The drug store of B. C. Kinsel, at Griswold street and Michigan avenue, in the heart of the business di triet, was burned out. The total damage ‘was about $200,000, practically covered by insurance. Explosions of chemicals which were be- ing heated is believed to have caused | the fire, which started during the middle | of the forenoon. The flames soon ate |their way into the basement, where a large stock of drugs and chemicals were stored. Great billows of poisonous smoke ! poured from the building.

ORLEANS, la., Jan. 2-Crit- Increases from Six Cars Day to 1,500 a Month, OUTGROWTH OF CARRIAGE FIRM On May 1 last the first Dort motor car was delivered. Then the factory output was six cars a day. In less than nine months, says W. E. Foshier, local rep- resentative, this has been increhsed to 1,500 a month.

Many have fornia run was conducted by the Don planned to do such things, but when the time came something was lacking In the machinery of the organization and prom- ises have fallen flat % But in the iInstance of the Dort car the makers had made their preparations with greatest care and skill, and, backed by years of experience in a kindred line of manufacturing, they have been able to gradually increase the production of the car without the slightest friction. The Dort Motor Car company is an outgrowth of the Durant-Dort Carriage company, which was incorporated in 188 and still is a dominent factor in its fleld. From the start this older company has held a prominent place in the carridge world, and the motor company h stepped into a simliar place In relation to horseless vehicles for the parent cone cern, for the parent concern never mars keted a fallure. The officers of the company are: J. D. Dort, president; D. M. Averill, gen- eral manager;.F. A. Aldrich, secretary and treasurer; J. D. Mansfield, sales manager; Ralph Dort, advertising man- ager. Some of the buildings of the carriage company in Flint were requisitioned by the Dort Motor Car company and sev< eral additions were erected. In these was assembled the most modern equip- ment, with ample provislon for expan- slon. Lay in Big Stocks. The first Dort car was designed and then the materials were bought for the production, the company fortunately piling up its stocks, so that in these days of a shortage among the metals there is plenty on hand and in sight to warrant the continued increase in production and insure deliveries as specified. Two of the essentials to success in motor car building are the mechanism and the looks, and both of these have been attended to by experts. The power plant was designed by Etienne Planche, formerly with the Peugot, IHence it is of French design, light in weight, with great power. Some of the finest bodies and most graceful*lines of ‘cars have come from the carrlage vullders. J. D. wort looked over many designs for the car which wa$ to bear his name, and none of thein being quite up to his own idess, he modeled A car out of clay with his own hands, a pure stream-line body, and this is the car of today.

Mr. Vanderllp declared the United States did not necd movernment ald to succeed In the world of trade so much as rellef from governmental handicaps He said: “We shall have handicaps in the extension of forelgn trade of a gov ernment so devoted to peace that justice to its citizens in the forelgn countries weighs but scantily In the balance against the advantages of peace for Its people at home," Mr. Vanderilp characterized some of the laws governing shipping and com- merclal combinations as “foollsh legis- lation, uneconomic and unnecessarily re- strictive.” A plea for modification of rex ulations affecting rallroads to permit them to make lower rates on export than on domestie traffic was made by Mr. Harrison. Complaint -‘Against Red Willow Fair (F'rom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 2.—(Specfal)~Hus the Red Willow County Fair assoclation for- felted its right to the per capita allowed it for holding sessions? ‘This is a matter brought to the notice of Etate Treasurer Hall, who today received a letter from Indianola, containing atfidavits from Roy Jones, J. W. Duteher, Chris Jensen and C. H. King, alleging that gambdling had been allowed on the grounds during the 1915 fair. The statutes prohibit the allowing of gambling or the sale of llquor within the grounds of any county fair, on pen- alty of a forfeiture of the per capita ap- propriation coming from the county treasury. Last year the Red Willow as- soclation drew $471.25 from the county under the law. REPRESENTATIVE HALL “CUTS UP” 'FOR TEACHERS (From a ‘Staff Correspondent.)

To add to the enjoyment of the meeting old representative hall froze up this morning and the meeting was ad- Journed to the supreme court room, each man and woman selzing a chair and mov- ing to the place where the tribunal of Justice usually holds forth. Yesterday afternoon while the people present were listening in rapt attention to & speech by one of the men on the pro- gram, there came & loud sound as it the ancient edifice had been struck with a shell, Shrieks from the women and, clamations from the men added to confusion, but it was soon discovered that & huge plece of plaster had been unable to withstand the heavy wind v !| coursing through the. bullding and had been blown off. Lackily, it fell in the sallery and so no one was harmed,’but a large hole through which the outside stone of the bullding can be seen testifies te the condition of the-bullding.

No attempt was made to estima® the total for New York City, but it is known that it will exceed $280,000, In addition to nearly $1,000000 pledged at a mass meeting here last night. Telegrama received tod from almost every city in the country stated that the contributions were much larger than even the most sanguine workers had antici- pated. In only a few places had the totals been computed, and it is not e pected the work will be completed before Monday. CUMMINS BLOCKS MOVE OF NEBRASKA SENATOR WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—An effort by Chalrman Hitcheock of the Senate Philip- pine committee to hasten a vote on the Philippine bill, was blocked today by Senator Cummins, who objected to suggestion that after Tuesday speeches be Himited to ten minutes, and gave no- tice he would introduce an amendment which he would want to discuss at length. Arguments against granting indepen- dence to the FMilipinos were made by Sen- ators Lippitt, McCumber and Harding. PERSONAL of thé Chalmers Six-40 will be an increase of $100 over the present price.

Now it High-speed steel formerly at $1.05 a pound now is worth $3.35. Leather formerly 20¢ a foot now brings 33c. And so on. Al told it costs $118.22 more in raw material to build the Six-40 than it did some months ago. ‘As this amount is consid- erably in'excess of our net profit per car, only two courses were The other was to lower the quality. This Therefore a raise in price was the only procedure possible, We regret that an increase in price is necessary, but we feel | that other manufacturers of automobiles will be forced either to increase the price or use a lower grade of materials. For it is not possible to buy superior products in the open market at any less price than Chalmers pays. We think it only fair to those who have planned to purchase the Six-40 and have been quoted the $1350 price to take this! opportunity of saying that we will accept orders at that price up to midnight February 29, f. 0. b, Detroit will prevail, Thereafter the price of $1,450 ompany and put in sterilized bottles Sanitary Dairy Co.
