tion of the Chestnut street tube which will
cross tho Ilrond street subwny nt Tlroad

will rros tho delivery loop at Rlghth and
Chestnut streets From the point of con
struction theso two small sections will bn

financial point they will bo considered ns
parts of tho Chestnut street subway, and.
therefore, ran bo charged to the J.I, 000,000

"BIG DRIVE" PLANNED
TO ORGANIZE HOUSE
Republicans and Democrats Get
ting Their Lines in Order for
Capture of Speakership
vTASUINClTON. March 11. Republicans
nnd Democrats are laying their plans for
tho hlg drive April 16 for the control of
tho next Houso of Representatives. The
Dcmocrnts will caucus on April 12, nnd on
April II the Republicans will nssemblc In
n last final effort to smooth out their dif
ference so that a solid vote may he cast
for tho speakership At about the same
time the live so-called Independents also
will meet. ,
If tho New Hampshire law Is changed so
that a successor can be elected In Repre
sentative Kulloway's place before April 16.
tho Democrats nnd Republicans will each
havo 215 members. This Is predicted upon
tho assumption that a Republican will suc
ceed the late Mr. Sulloway and that nnother
Democrat vvlll take the place of Repre
sentative Conry, of New York, who died
Just before the lurt Congress adjourned.
Sulloway's successor, it Is admitted, may
lie n Democrat
Thcro Is less talk than there was a week
ago nbout a bipartisan organization of the
House. The Democrats and Republicans
nt present each claim two of the so-called
Independents The uncertain membei
seems still to be Representative Martin, of
I.ouslnna, regressive.

Renews Its Youth
Instead of periodically succumb
ing to carbon troubles the Willys

carbon benefits.
Instead of causing a loss of com
pression, carbon in the Willys
Knight motor effects an actual gain
in compression.
The result is a gain in power
and flexibility instead of a loss a
renewal of youth instead of a surren
