UTO BUILDERS SAY
SHOW IS INAUGURAL
- OFIftOSPBROUS ERA
Optimism Is Keynote of An
nual Exhibit, Which Is
"Bigger and Better Than
: Ever."
Optimism is the keynote of the automo
bile dhow now being held under the
mieploes of the Philadelphia Automobile
Trade Association In the Metropolitan
Building-, Broad and Wallaco streets. If
there Is business depression and other
alffnn of hard times, evidence of It Is
nadir lacking nt the greatest exhibit of
pleasure ears ever arranged In this coun
try. Manufacturers, dealers and others Inter
sted In the Industry aro confident that
thft future has great things In store, and
they aro not a hit worried about what
thd year 1915 will bring. Experts at the
show say thcro la no evidence of hard
limes manifest
Bomo time before the doom of the great
Bhow building' were opened to tho public
today a Ion? line of automobiles stretched
down Broad street and Along the side
streets. Thcro was no sign of hard tlmos.
Every one seemed to bo prosperous, and
no Bhow ever held in tins city orroroa
such encouraging business conditions as
this one.
SHOW A BANNER. ONE.
When tho show was talked of for this
year there 'Wero a number of the mem
bers of tho association did not bellovo
such a show would be successful In view
of the reported ''hard times." However,
the) -more optimistic of tho tradesmen fe.lt
the reports wero exaggerated and sot to
work to make tho 1915 show a banner ono.
They declare they have succeeded with
out question. Evidently from the great
crowd which Is turning out to view tho
cars tho show's ultimate success need
cause no worry.
Automobile manufacturers arc certain
tho year 1915 will be ono unprecedented
no far as output Is concerned. Tho esti
mated production for the current year on
a. conservative estimate Is 875,000 cars.
That doesn't even bear tho earmarks of
pessimism. In 1904, according to United
States census reports there were manu
factured In this country 22,830 cars.
From presont Indications tho record
for attendance made last year will bo
exceeded. Show officials are of tho opin
ion that before the close of tho show
next Saturday night 400,000 persons will
have visited tho exhibit.
CABS WORTH $1,000,000.
Homo of tho attractive cars which wero
on exhibit at the New Tork Show were
placed this morning, and by nightfall
all ot tho exhibits aro expected to be In
place.
There ore 60 exhibits and live accessory
exhibitors nt this year's affair.
Tho cost of the cars la fixed at about
$1,000,000. The lowest priced car in the
Metropolitan building Is J335, wnilo tno
most elaborate will coat JC0OO.
That the Automobile Salon has the fin
est display of automobile coachwork over
Been In this country Is the consensus of
opinion expressed by practically all ex
perienced motorists who have attended.
The many different cars on exhibition af
ford even the novice an opportunity to
go into testacies, as no two are alike
in the coachwork of the bodies they
mount.
It Is this feature of the salon which
attracts so much attention on the part
of those motorists who own high-grade
cars. They recognize that while tho serv
ice they receive from their cars depends
largely upon the excellence of tho design
and construction of tho chassis, the ap
pearance, convenience and comfort la a
matter of coachwork. It Is not strange
therefore that they devote their princi
pal attention to the design, equipment
and finish of the body.
OWNERS DESIGN CARS.
It la for this reason that It Is now
'' generally the custom for high-grade
chasaes and bodies to be bought sepa-
- rately. The purchaser, after selecting
the chassis, consults with the designers
employed by tho body-builders as to the
style of body desired. The work of these
designers la very often that of carrying
out the Ideas of the owner, many of
whom show remarkable taste in the mat
ter of automobile coachwork, so much so
Kf that the finished product has a remark-
ably individual distinctiveness. This Is
the caso with n number or the most
beautiful cars shown at the show. Some
have been built on order for customers
and are being shown by special permis
sion. In previous years the most handsome
cars shown at the annual exhibition,
those in which the creative genius and
skilled workmanship of the coach builder
were carried out to the highest degree,
have been the products of the famous
European carroaeries. In recept years
mark you well the , American body
maker has come rapidly to the front.

WOOL EMBAKGO DENTED
England Will Not Replace Ban Un
less Conditions Are Violated,
WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.-Sonsattonnl
stories that Great Britain had threatened
to replace Its embargo on shipments of
Australian wool to this country were
dented with emphasis today by State De
portment officials. It was acknowledged
that Great Britain, solely In explanation
ot Its position In lifting the embargo, had
made It clear that Australian merino wool
could not be exported from the United
States, either In raw or finished state.
Infractions of tho understanding. It was
submitted by England, would necessitate
tho relmposltlon of the embargo. Denial
was made that nny American exporters,
so far aa the State Department knew, had
violated the agreement.

for Private Control.
NEW TORK, Jan. 11. Henry S. Groves,
chief forester of the Department of Agri

Goldfishes
the shape of a castle. The fishes liked
that and played around and over the
shells.
In the evening the family would stand
around the fish bowl and watoh the fish.
And always It was the littlest fish they
watched the most and the littlest flab
they exclaimed over ofteneat.
The biggest fish oouldn't help but notice
and he was not one bit pleased not one
bltl "They make me very cross," he said
to himself, "making such a fuss over that
little flshl What la he, anyway? nothing
but a tiny flab without any tall or hardly
any!"
The more he thought about how abused
and slighted ha was the worse he felt
that's the way It Is with fishes as well as
folks, you know.
I'm not going to have Mm around here
any morel" the biggest flsh Anally de
cided, "maybe If be Is out of the way
those queer people will look at me."
He thought about It mora and more, and
at last ho decided what he would do,
"Til just eat those little flsh up," he ex
claimed to himself. "Why didn't I think
of that before!"
So be started after them.
Bound and round the Jar be chased the
mlddle-slsed flsh. "I'll gefblm out of the
way first." be said, "and then the littlest
one will be no trick at all!"
The poor little middle-sized flsh was so
frightenedl You see, there Isn't much
room for dodging in & flsh bowl. And
though be swam as fast as h could, and
dodged the bf at be knew bow, the biggest
fish soon caught him and. at him upl
After that the littlest fish was easy
picking! He was so frightened by what
had happened, to the mlddle-sUed flsb,
that be could hardly swim! Bo the big?

him all up.

Rise in Revolt on Hearing
New Jersey Wares Were
Not Used in State's Ex
position Building.
TRENTON, Jan. 11. Members of Tren
ton's Chamber of Commerce, which haB
spent thousands of dollars In booming
"JIado In Trenton" products, are up In
arms because, "Made In Pittsburgh" Is
plastered all over tho bathtubs, plumbing
and rest-room fittings of tho special build
ing erected at a cost of moro than
fGO.000 on the site of tho Panama-Paclflo
Exposition grounds at San Francisco,
where Now Jersey's resources are to bo
housed.
According to tho chamber thero are
8815 persona employed In the pottery busi
ness In Trenton, whose cffort8 nnd skill
have made this city pro-eminent In tho
manufacture of porcelain articles and
bathroom accessories.
Why, with the reputation Trenton has
for this class of manufactures, tho archi
tect should specify the product of Pitts
burgh Is more than they can understand.
As a consequence. President Wilson,
who, as a citizen of New Jersey wilt make
this building hla headquarters when visit
ing the exhibition, will arise from his
slumber and take his bath in a tub that
bears a beautiful green and gold label
"Made In Plttaburgh."
If the wlshea of the pottera are com
piled with every bit of the product of
the Plttaburgh concern will be ripped
out and "Made-ln-Trenton" accessories
substituted.

DENIES HAMPERING- EXPORTS
British Embassy Disclaims Restric
tions on Qoods for Switzerland.
WASHINGTON, Jan. XI. Reports that
Great Britain was hampering the expor
tation of American goods to Switzerland
brought out a denial from the British
Embassy today. It follows;
"It Is understood that certain Ameri
can and Italian shipping lines are refus
ing to carry goods consigned by name
to Swiss firms, and that this refusal has
been attributed In some quarters to some
suggestion or action on the part of the
British authorities.
"There Is no foundation whatever for
the latter statement; the British Govern
Vnent Is on the contrary most anxious
that 'no restrictions whatever should be
placed In the way of articles Intended for
bona fids consumption In Switzerland,"

SHOW
NEW CHAIN GUN
TO WRECK AIRSHIP
MADE IN NEW YORK
Inventor Declares Double
barreled Field Piece Fires
Connected Projectiles
Which Crumple Aircraft.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. A double-bar
reled field piece, which fires two pro
jectiles connected with a powerful chain,
and which tho Inventor believes will prove
to bo one of tho most effective engines of
warfare, has boon patented In Washing
ton by Julius Wodlska, of this city, who
describes his double-barreled piece of ord
nance as "a certain new nnd useful Im
provement In guns and chain shot"
Whether or not the gun will prove tho
success that Mr. Wodiaka predicts will
only bo determined after official experi
ments havo been made. An ordnance offi
cer to whom the Wodlska gun specifica
tion waa submitted yesterday frankly
Btated that he feared the Inventor was
"too enthusiastic and that the chain con
nections would In the end provo tho in
vention out of the question so far as war
fare la concerned."
The now double-barreled fieldploce Is
breechloadlng, with a single explosive
chamber, adapted to either military pow
ders now In use or to compressed air. The
twin barrels are divergent at a sHgltfly
oblique angle.
AIM FROM ANY ANGLE.
The gun can be readily aligned for aim
ing at any angle from level to vertical,
Its muxzles describing a quadrant of the
azimuth circle. The projectiles are hol
low shells with forward connected tubes,
flared at their muzzles to fit tho bore and
rifling of the cannon's two barrels, with
in tho base chambers of the shells are
reeled or colled" EO or more feet ot chain
or wire cable.
When the gun la discharged the shell
tube mtsBllea are projected, gradually
separating In flight and unreeling the
chain until It Is taut, the twin projectiles
keeping to their course united. If an air
craft should be flying "on on even keel,"
the position ot the twin barrels of the
gun na aimed would be one above the
other; If the flying target ahould make
a vertical dip, the gun's barrels before the
discharge would be rotated until on a
level parallel, or In a position to present
the chain at right angles to the length
and broadside of the aircraft
HOW BOMBS IGNITE.
The desired effect la for the chain when
meeting the resistance presented by the
alroraft'a structure to whirl the heavy
projectiles on the chain's eiids around the
body of the flying craft, crumpling Its
structure and wings, or the envelopes, In
ner aklns and ribs of the balloons, If the
craft be a llgbter-than-alr flying machine.
An amplification of the Idea la the ad
dition ot bomb annexea to the chain
chamber which will contain explosives to
be Ignited by detonators upon contact
with a resisting body or materials.

WOMAN VARIES BIGAMY
RECORD WITH CAROUSE
Polico Recognize Prisoner Taken In
Raid as nn Old Acquaintance.
ALLENTOWN, Pa., Jan. 11. Jennio
Schwoyer, whoso numerous marriages
havo placed her in tho limelight on for
mer occasions. Is again thero, this time
for goneral dlsorderllness and conduct
unbecoming a woman. MInlonB of tho
law raided a party of roysterers, and
when they wero thrust Into Jail tho au
thorities recognized Mrs. Schwoyer ns an
old acquaintance. Mrs. Schwoyer, who
1b only 23 years old, has the record of
having led 10 husbands to the altar.
About two years ago she was arrested
for bigamy nnd upon conviction was sen
tenced to serve nlno months.
She Is a native of Northampton
County, and was only 1C when marrlod
tho first time to a man named Sillier.
In a dozen years she has had husbands
nil the way from Allentown to Indiana,
the names of some of them she doesn't
remember, "not having been worth any
thing anyhow."
The woman formed the subject of pro
found study on the port of many sensible
persons. Up to the time she was arrested
for bigamy thay found she had been In
dustrious, a good cook and housekeeper
and unmoral, rather than Immoral. Al
though extensively courted, she asserted
she had never violated tho law, and said
she had been divorced each time before
she married a now husband. It turned
out that her idea of divorce was faulty.
When she wanted to marry p. new hus
band she would go to a Justice ot the
Fcace and obtain separation papers, and
ehe Imagined that was getting a legal
divorce. By "profession" she Is a cook.
She Is proud of her skill, and says there
never was n time when she could not
land a Job, no matter where she may have
been.
K. OP O. TO PROSECUTE
Commission Will Investigate Anti
Roman Catholic Publications.
Publications In Philadelphia nnd
throughout tho country which publish
anti-Roman Catholic matter will be In
vestigated and prosecuted If necessary by
a. commission which has been appointed
for tho purposo by the Supreme Council
of the Knights of Columbus in St. Paul,
Minn. The organization has appropriated
$50,000 to cover the cost ot tho work. The
commission will meet March 6 and re
port. James A. Flaherty, Supreme Grand
Knight of the Knights of Columbus, of
this city, said today that last year there
had been concerted action by anti-Roman
Catholic societies and publications In all
sections of the United States to prevent.
Roman Catholics holding ofllce and gen
erally to discredit the faith. There has
been considerable activity of this sort In
Philadelphia, he said.
Ono of the publications objected to Is
the Menace, published In Aurora, Mo,
Mr. Flaherty Bald It had been brought to
the attention of Postmaster General
Burleson and the nature of the matter
printed In It pointed out. As a result the
Department of Justice, ha said, had or
dered the United States DIstrlot Court
of Kansas City to prosecute the publishers.
