The new construction by which
weight is reduced and efficiency, ease
of riding and handling increased, has
been a prime factor in attracting for
mer buyers of foreign cars to Atner-iran-made
cars, according to F. E.
Moskovics, commercial manager of
the Kordyke & Marmon company,
furthermore, Mr. Moskovics says
that rapid acceleration and good rid
ing qualities at high speed have made
very favorable impressions on these
critical buyers. He adds:
"There is no doubt but that Amer
ica is setting the fashion in motor
cars. European designers have been
working on many of the ideas which
American engineers have perfected.
There are many examples of the ex
periments abroad with the extensive
use of aluminum, and we hear that
many of the best foreign makes will
present after-the-war models which
will have aluminum engine castings
and aluminum pistons."
Is Pronounced Satisfactory.
"The Marmon construction has
largely to do with the reduction of
weight and so well has the aim of the
engineers been accomplished that the
seven-passenger touring car ready for
the road weighs 3,540 pounds, even
though the car has a wheel base of 136
inches, with the motor developing
seventy-four brake test horse power.
"Although the Marmon 34 has been
on the market for only one year, it is
now about a four-year-old proposi
tion, for work in developing the new
model began about three years before
the production started. The first car
was completed in 1914 and was taken
to the great southwestern desert and
mountains for trial Here Marmon
engineers tested it out for months
and when they finally pronounced it
satisfactory, production was started.
"The Marmon 34 Is scientifically
designed and constructed. Weight has
been reduced by the use of aluminum,
not only for body construction and
for small castings, but for large parts
of the motor and even in the rear
axle. A new frame construction, by
which lighter steel of deep section is
used, not only saves weight, but adds
strength and reduces complications.
"The Marmon frame system in
cludes the running boards as a part,
eliminating step hangers or side
shields, and the whole assembly
weighs very much less than the ordi
narily constructed frame and running
board assembly. Unsprung weight
has been reduced to an absolute min
imum, so that the ratio between the
weight above the springs and the
weight below the springs is enough
to give a perfect balance and excel
lent riding and handling qualities.
'The motor used is about the same
size as the motors in other cars of
the same class, but since the Marmon
has better than half a ton less weight
to carry around, the power plant is
naturally more flexible, has better ac
celeration and can reach speed with
less effort than the ordinary car."
A bath house de luxe, near Twenty-fifth
and Charles streets, where in
mates of the Jewish Old People's
Home may splash to their hearts'
contentment, is one of the novel fea
tures which will tend to preserve the
health and increase the longevity of
the old folks. It is not merely a bath
tub of immense proportions, but it
has many, if not all, the appointments
of the shower room in a leading hotel.
However, 'here is nothing sumptuous
or elaborate in the building. It is
primarily a thing of service and not
of adornment. It is open for use by
the Jewish public.
The Jewish home for aged people
is at 2504 Charles street, near the
bath house. It is a philanthropy made
possible largely by the untir
ing efforts of the Daughters of Israel
Aid society, which sponsors its fifth
annual charity ball at the municipal
Auditorium tonight. About 400 wo
men are members of the society, and
each year their charity ball has been
a social and financial success. To
night's affair, they believe, will be no
exception. '

mander in the raid had a telephone
with him as he went into action, the
signal men in charge unreeling the
wires as they pressed forward. The
instruments were connected with bat
talion headquarters back in a first line
English dugout, and there was not a
moment during the offensive that the
contact was not complete. Through
the various telephonic links leading
from battalion headquarters to brig
ade headquarters, to division head
quarters, corps headquarters, army
headquarters, general headquarters,
and thence across the British Chan
nel, it would have been possible, if
so desired, for the company com
manders in the thick of actual hand
they may cause in the capitals of the to hand fighting to talk direct from !
a Oerman trench to the war omce in
London.
The trunk telephone lines erected
by the British along the main high
ways to the war represent the latest
improvement of equipment At some
points there are as many as thirty
wires on a single line of pole, with
a second line of sixteen wires being
strung. From the peaceful, pastoral
scenes of noninvaded France out to
ward the battle lines the wires reach
in ever diminishing numbers until at
last only a few strands may be laid
along the ground across that stretch
of mud and shell-shattered desolation
representing the gains of some recent
"push."
Fire Does Not Stop the

In spits of the fire which damaged
the plant of the Saxon Motor Car

was fully covered by insurance.

hind the British lines in France is
the absolute permanence and thor
oughness of the British war machine.
There is no flimsy construction any
where. It is as if the English were
preparing to fight through countless
years to come if necessary.
While built primarily for war effi
ciency, the telephone and telegraph

highways, th English have put into

war is over as a permanent legacy.
The war railroads will in effect be
an offset to the so-called strategic
railways of the Germans, and will
enable France to develop its northern
country far more rapidly than oth
erwise would have been possible. Al
ready the telephone and telegraph,
lines are linked up with the French
official systems and represent a per
manent extension of those facilities.
The telephone has played a wonder

suited for the work. Because of the
large stock of material which the
Saxon company had stored in plants
outside the main plant, production can
be resumed immediately the assem
bling lines are completed.
"While the fire was very severe, it
will not seriously affect us for very
long," said President H. W. Ford.
"Our plant and material loss is fully
covered by insurance as well as loss
of profits during temporary delay in
production. We have a large stock
of material on hand sufficient to en
able us to proceed with production
immediately the assembling lines in
our temporary quarters are completed.
Within a few short weeks we wilt be
swinging along our normal course and

Manila. P. I Jan. 12. The work of
the first Philippine Congress is large
ly concerning itself with reorganiia
tion of the government along more
independent lines. Heretofore all leg
islative measures in the Philippines
have begun with the words "By au
thority of the congress of the United
States, be it enacted by the Philip
pine legislature." One of the first
measures passed by the new insular
congress was a change to read "The
senate and house of representatives
in congress assembled, decrees," etc.,
meaning, of course, that the Fjlipino
congress is now acting on its own au
thority. A bill for the organization of six
executive departments has passed
both houses of congress. The depart
ments are those of public instruction,
interior, finance, justice, agriculture
and natural resources, and commerce
and communications. The department
of public instruction is to be headed
by an appointee by the president of
the United States, who will be vice
governor of the Philippines, and the
insular congress wilt have no voice
