Washington, Sept 27. (Special ' J Telegram.) "When German and .

"In no part of Europe do the peasants hold so tenaciously to their distinctive costume as in ; the up lands of. Roumania. It is, in fact, almost an asset in nationalism, and its unifying influence was empha sized some years ago by the Dowager Queen, when she herself put on the native dress. "Some of the outdoor work is almost wholly in the hands of the women. She takes the hemp and the flax from the seed to the fin ished garment, and deems herself fortunate if the husband plows the ground for her. As the spinning ' and weaving is done by the women, the clothing worn by the family is tangible evidence of the taste and industry of the women folk. "To wear store-made clothes, un ,til recent times, was a token of in dolence or awkwardness on the part of the "females of the family har 'acteristics that are the butt of most of the jo'.;es improvised by the lead-, cr of the Sunday village dance.

Kay - I V -Mil 7 crtfir J' fell; gD, rA Wm-l Wonderful Work of Chinese Farmers In Wisconsin Marshes .Mather, Wis., Sept. 27. (Special.) Eight hundred and seventy-five acres of reclaimed land, territory which , for many years was nothing but a marshy wilderness in thJs vicinity, are today yielding their second rich harvest of Chinese and Irish potatoes, cabbages, onions, hay, grain and Chinese Vegetables, which are shipped daily to the res taurants of Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and ; Minneapolis. And -the American farmers who scoffed at the.yellovv men who came hjre from Chicago "under the. backing of Nip Lunsr and Tov Tuner of Chicasro are beginning to th.ink that, after all, the oriental may have something ort them when it comes to tarming land' which has hitherto been re garded as no good. ' Only One of Kind. , The colony and the farm are be lieved to be the only ones of their kind m America. The p-oject was the ambition of Toy Jung, a China man, who was graduated from the agricultural school of the University of Wisconsin and from .Stockton, Cal., potato fields, but he lived barely long enough to see it well under way. Toy Jung died last year of the influenza and the" colony, which was plunged into gloom over the loss of the man who was - at the helm, continued the work suc cessfully, carrying out to the letter the detailed plans of the manager. The colony today comprises 30 Chinese who live in houses erected for therri near the fields. ' In this town they 'have a large residence, at which visitors are entertained. Women are not allowed on the farms. None but relatives of the workers " may be shown over the gardens. What are the Chinese crops they are growing? That is something which Ameri cans have not been able to find out; the Chinamen preserve their puz zled demeanor, when' questions are asked, pretend" not to understand, and tell nothing. " , s That the project is successful is judged from the amount of farm produce that is shipped daily -from this station. The 1918 season, the first one, proved a financial success, and the lands, which had been leased for a period of five years, were pur chased outright by a Chicago China man. But the second season,, just terminating, has been even more successful than the first. Farmers around Mather still scoff to some extent, but they are being converted. Some there are, even to day, who will not concede that the simple Chinese method of' twice plowing the land and harrowing it even unto the twelfth time, without the use of fertilizer, can long re main a' success. They insist the ad vancing years will take "the fertility from the soil rapidly. ' v ' Deep-Sea Fishing Is u Simplified by Plane "Sportsmen of , both coasts now have tried the seaplane as a fishing boat, and found it good. The two New York fishermen who made the first trip the other day started late, but they were first on he grounds. They passed the plodding motor boats considered, until now, re markably swift midway, and were among- the schools of bluefish be fore their astonished brother an glers came within hailing distance. However, the speed alone was not the thing that established the plane as a fishing craft par excellencebut its ability actually to locate the fish schools for the impatient anglers by giving them the vision of great alti tude. . - .. A party of Los Angeles fishermen found the seaplane most valuable for the mileage it so rapidly con sumed, for the distances are long on the Pacific. To the kelp beds of Santa Barbara ik 50 miles. They made it easily and quickly, passing smoothly above unpleasantly rough seas and landing on the calm wafers of the weed bars, from whose well stocked but unfrequented pockets they tWk as many fish as they cared to' burden the plane with on the homeward trip. r A A wonderful vista T brand new snort opens witly this, application of the seaplane. .'' -i- Fined For Profiteering.

Largest Movie Pictures ' Set a Distance Record Two moving picture records were broken recently. Ah ordinary, pro jecting machine, equipped ' wifn a special lens, a rapid shutter and a 150-ampere light was used to throw pictures, 100 feet by 75 feet, on a screen 350 feet away from the ma chine. The light employed Was three times the strength of those com monly used. It generated so much heat that it was necessary to operate the cinematograph at great speed to prevent burning the' film. The screen on which the pictures were thrown was 115 feet square. Richmond, Wooden Ship of-... Farraguty Fleet, Doomed Boston, Sept. 27.

A request that every, one of the 69,000 men who were rejected fsr military service by draft boards" because of tubercu losis infection get in touch at once with the nearest organization en gaged in anti-tuberculosis work was sent out today from the general headquarters of the National Tu berculosis association. The object sought, it was said, is to bring about a co-operation of effort that would aid the affected men in their fight for recovery and to prevent the spread of the disease.. , 100,000 Affected. Attention was called to reports from the surgeon general's office that of the men of the United States called to the colors during the world war approximately 100,000 were found to be affected with tubercu losis. All the men ejected by draft boards and practically all of those rejected by camp surgeons were sent home, it was stated, and it is necessary for the conservation of the public health that they be kept track of and fully advised as to the mode of life and the treatment which will help them and protect their families. Follow-up systems are now being employed by the various agencies engaged in combating tuberculosis, but, according to officials of the National Tuberculosis association, many men are hanging back and others cannot be located. It is to reach these two elements that the appeal is made for cooperation. The annual death rate from tuber culosis in the United States, as shown by a recent survey, is 150,000 which, it is pointed out, is a sacrifice of twice as many lives as the American army lost in the year in which it was actively engaged in the World -war. ' Emphasis is laid on assertions that tuberculosis is not hereditary, and that it is preventable and can be cured. In order to reduce the death rate the public is asked to as sure the success of an extensive campaign against the disease by buying Red Cross Christmas seals liberally during the drive, beginning December 1, when seals to the value of more than, $6,500,000 will be offered for sale throughout the country. .

The first Super-Six quality to attract atten tion was its power, a 72 increase without added weight or cylinders. But rivals when they saw that, said it could not be relied upon to give long service. Let Us See What It Did The makers did not know the full endurance limit of the Super-Six motor. For that matter they don't even now know its limit, although it has been put to longer, harder tests than is ever asked of an automobile, even in the most famous -long distance races. This was shown in the 500-mile Indianapolis race last , May, for while faster cars' were .en tered, the privately owned and raced Super- Sixes showed a continuous performance of un rivaled endurance. The first Super-Six endurance run was made when a stock touring car, carrying driver and passenger, was driven at top speeH for one hour, and officially established the record. Then that same car was pushed to greater tests by driving it with five passengers and with top and windshield up, 100 miles at 70.74 miles per hour, also making a new official record. That failing to reveal its endurance, a stock Super-Six chassis was driven by one man 1,819 miles in 24 hours. The best previous record, made by a specially built racer, was 327 miles short of the distance covered by the Hudson. f Then the run from San Francisco to New j York was made. , It lowered the best previous time by more than 14 hours. And to give fur ther evidence of its endurance, the car was turned back and reached San Francisco 10 days and 21 hours after leaving there on 7,000 miles of the hardest driving ever 'made to establish, motor car endurance. The Return trip, too, was made in shorter time than any other car has ever done it. " And 60,000 Users Added , Their Experience That is the number of Super-Sixes in u&e at the time the present model was announced. Every test and every report of owners served at a help in making a better Hudson. A , The patented Super-Six motor called for a car that in every detail matched its quality. New standards were made necessary. Each year has seen a nearer approach to the ideal. Mechanical perfection was not all that Hud son engineers aimed it. They sought to make the Hudson complete in every detail of con venience, beauty and comfort. For Four Years the Largest 1 Selling Fine Car Merit is reflected in the way in which th public views the Super-Six. For four years it has been the largest selling fine car. It is known in every community and . on every highway. Present deliveries exceed 100 Hudsons a day. Factory production was never so great and we were never so far behind orders. Men have long known that to get a Hudson it it necessary to make reservations in advance. Oft some models and in some seasons thousandt have waited a month or more. ' But They Know It Was Worth Waiting For No man can drive a Hudson without feeling a growing respect for it It grows out of th same endurance the car has revealed in all thoso tests made when the Super-Six was new. They know the real meaning of motor satisfaction. Their needs are fulfilled, s ' . If you plan to get a Hudson next year,, now is not too early to speak for it. Think of the thousands disappointed this year.
