' v "All our reports from the field indicate that the prosperity of the motor car industry is due to con tinue and we are preparing ourselves accordingly' Sales of Truck Throw Sidelight on Business An interesting sidelight on busi ness conditions in general, and par ticularly in the automotive field, is found in the figures shown by the In ternational Harvester Company of America on the sale and delivery of International motor trucks this year. Up to April 1, a total of 1,651 car- . loads of International motor trucks ' have been shiped from the truck fac tories at Akron and Springfield, O., to be delivered to purchasers. Of the total 892 carloads were shipped west of the Mississippi river and 759 car loads were delivered east of the river. These carloads would make a single train 14 miles long or 33 average trainloads of 50 freight cars . each. The freight charges alone " approximate $247,000. , , If all of these trucks -were placed .. in service at one time they would be capable of moving the 12,000,000 bale cotton crop of the entire United States the average haul, in 20 work ing days. The mileage to accomplish this task would amount to 10.000,000 miles, a distance equal to 400 times around the earth at the equator. In giving out these figures the sales (department indicated that the satis factory growth in truck business was partly due to the free inspection ser vice which has been 'in force at the 93 company branch houses for over two years. Eppley Buys Cadillac After Thorough Test E. C. Eppley, owner of the Eppley Hotel company, tried out a Cadillac last week. . - ' : Mr. Eppley told J. H. Hansen, of the J. H. Hansen Cadillac company, that he would like to drive to Lin coln tor see how the car worked be fore he purchased one. The start was made about noon, and after Mr. Eppley had inspeoted his hotel prop erties in Lincoln. Mr. Hansen sug gested that they go through Sioux City, where both men have many in terests. " Before night the Cadillac arrived at Sioux City, having made atops at David City, Columbus, Norfolk and other points. .Mr. Eppley inspected the Evans hotel at Columbus, one of his properties, and when he arrived at the Martin hotel in Siuox City, w hich he also owns, he made the re mark that he started for Lincoln to return to Omaha the same day, and now he had covered a great part of the state of Nebraska, had seen all his properties enroute and had time to spare.

It was after mid' night, and the only person in the garage was a white-haired man of erect carriage and patriarchal mus tache, who wore overall ana car ried hose. "I want .n y car washed and made ready lor tormorrow morning, said the lourut. who was also a magazine writer of some repute. "I fere," and he tendered a ten -franc note. The old man took the money, and a he did so sumihing in his manner caused tha American to look at him more closely. Whereupon he step ped back, dumlounded. Tardon tne," be said, "but haven't I met you somewhere before? The old man smiled. "You have," he anwscrcd. "You were my guest at Smolensk in ivu. The car washer was General of Di vision Krasnilov, whose stand at the rrilep marshes in 1916 made his name adored throughout Russia. He has left the garage now for job that pays a few francs more a week. Wealthy Americans bow to him as he opens the doors of their limousines before a famous jeweler's of the Rue de la raix. An Englishman who fought as a captain in a Russian regiment hailed a taxicab on - the Boulevard des Italiens. "British embassy, please," he said. "Very well. Captain ." re- lured the driver, and held out his hand. The taxicab driver was the Eng lishman's old commanding officer. "There are six of us making our living like this in Paris," he told his old companion in arms. A Finn, unable to speak any but his own tongue, was trying to make himself understood in a fa mous Avenue de l'Opera cafe. One by one the waiters tried their linguistic ability on him, without success. Finally the manager beck oned to a messenger. Go to the American bar in the Rue Daunou," he directed, "and ask thaK Russian they employ there to sweep up the place if he will come here for a moment." The Russian came, diffidently. As he approached the table the Finn blinked his eye and then uttered an exclamation. Rising, he made a profound bow. Then the diner and the barroom servant fell on each other's necks, hugged and embraced and chattered several hundred words to the minute, while waiters and guests looked on astounded. linally the turn stopped long enounh to beckon the head waiter, at whom he let loose a flood of Finnish. "What does he say " inquired the head waiter, helplessly. The Russian looked down at his soiled apron and ill-kept hands em barrassed. "He savs you are to lay a place for me," he said; finally, "but I " The Finn, reading aright the other's manner, again broke in tor- rentially. The Russian , sighed re signedly. Very well. I will stay with him, he assented. "You see." he ex plained, I am Count Ivanofski. We two were school chums together at jt. rcterburg" And the Finn and the AW wah. ed sat down together in the world's most expensive restaurant. The usual crowd had gathered around a moving picture operator preparing to "shoot a scene" More the tliarriii casino, rrinciual amoiii the actors was a tall, dignified, bearded man in a frock cost and silk hat. He moved and acted so naturally that a pastcrby was moved to admiration. "That fellow, there," he exclaimed to a fellow onlooker, "he looks the part all right. Anyone would tuke hnn for a grand duke." The tall man heard the remark and quietly smiled. He was en titled to that smile. He was the Grand Duke Alexander. Chanel, tha great Paritian dress maker, has a large workroom in which h employe 30 or 40 seam stresses and cutters, including sev eral experts on embroidery, ( which the house makes specialty. In December the first cutter in trodured a quietly-dressed newcom er to the stall. "Mademoiselle is to learn em broidery," she said. "You girls will please show her our methods." The new seamstress was amiable, polite and willing to learn, but talked with jut the faintest accent She was, she confided, a Russian refugee who had tost all her money and had to work to live. Though she tried to be one of them the other girls were quick to jealousy and be lieved her quiet endeavors to be agreeable were conceit and conde scension, bo they put her to picking up pins from the floor and It vis several days befort she had suf ficiently warmed her way into their friendship so that they agreed to teach her what they knew. Then she quickly astonished th'm by her talent and aptitude, not only in actual sewing but in designing also. Onr mora they grew cold toward her, believing that she was the precursor of other Russians who would eventually "get their jobs." But at the end of a week the new band had apparently learned all thaj was necessary and de parted. And In January of this year the erstwhile seamstress resumed her proper quality. Her Imperial High ness Grand Duchess Marie, highest ranking grand duchess, aided bv her week si a working girl, opened an emoroiuery establishment at 48 rue Francois Premier, Paris. The grand duchess called her atelier "Kitmir." after a favorite dog. Kitmir is a lucky word in Rus- NOW TUB GREATEST AUTOMOBILE VALVE IN AUttlCA sian mythology and has already proved a fortunate choice. The es tablishment has mora orders for the beautiful embroidery it turns out than it can (urrrt.h. Charles Kuri man of Fifth avenue. New York, famous expert on fashions, told me that the Kiiimr designs will have a worldwide infWnce on this year's styles. When 1 mentioned this to Grand Duchess Marie she bright ened hopefully. "f do hope he's right," she said. "You know we are doing this prima rily to help other refugees all our working girls are exiled nobles and to add to the funds for the hospi. tals and schools we have founded in Paris. But we're quite serious about it and we arc determined that, if we can't rule Russia, we are at leat go ing to have a good try at leading the world of women's wear." The Grand Puilie.s is a simple lady (he reverse of the haughty arUtocrst of ("iliou. She is small, slight, dark and full of a nervous energy driven by an InJumiuMe will, and the is at the head of nearly all projects designed to add the strick en relugees from Kunu. Besides di recting "Kitmir" where she d.es nearly all the designing herself she is chairman of a score of com mittee and runs a sort of employ ment bureau which has found hun dreds of penniless exiles employment. As I was talking to her a hand some young man with blond hair bru.hed back from his forehead came and stood in the doorway. "Here's a design I jtnt finished," he said, diffidently, "Jretty good," said the Grand Duchess, critically. Then, to me: "Oh, by tht way meet iy brother, Grand Duka Dimltri." Diuritrt has the name ol being the handsomest grand duke extant. He is an eager young chap with a frank way about him, He ta also an in ventor and has started an office where ex-Russian officers can work at solving mechanical problems. Be fore the war he wa possessor of the fourth largest Rus.ian fortune. Lst Aiimiit be refused to play baccarat at Deauville because he did not "have ' the cash." Grand Duchess Marie smiled when I expresed my admiration of her exquititely designed embroidery, samples of w hich hundreds of Amer ican society women will wear this summer. "I always liked to fiddle with a needle," she said. 0 ! TOURING ...tsso ROADSTER . .
