By the Associated Press
Berlin. Aug. 20. At a meeting of the
citizens of Teltow, n suburb of Berlin,
there was discussion of the conduct of
Prince Friederich Leopold, cousin of
former Emperor William, who, unlike
Count Hohenzollern, remained there in
stead of leaving the country.
Local authorities recently searched
his castle, confiscating great supplies of
food, but when they attempted to bring
action against the prince they were
told from authoritative quarters that he
was immune, being a member of the
royal family. Prince Friederich has
nlo stored a huge quantity of coal and
other fuel.
As a result of the continued down
ward trend of the German mark the
food controller has ordered the dis
continuance of purchases in Holland.,
and Denmark.

It Makes the Most Miles in a Day
1IGHTER than any other car of equal size, the Holmes
j Improved Air-Cooled Car holds to the road better
at high speeds.
Flexible construction, the absence of rigid cross members in the
frame, full-elliptic springs and perfect balance of weight keep the
wheels to the road.
The Holmes swings along in boulevard comfort at from 35 to
40 miles an hour over roads that are ordinarily considered rough,
and driven by most cars at speeds not to exceed 15 to 20 mues
an hour.
The flexible front end construction, made possible by the elimination of the rigid
construction necessary when a radiator is carried, accommodates the wheels to the road.
The car is not bounced into the air by Toad shocks.
The full elliptic springs with a wide easy throw assimilate the blows from the road--they
are absorbed in the spring action and not transmitted to the body and the occupants.
In swinging corners there is no tendency for the rear end of the car to throw around.
The wheels stay on the gronnd with a firm tractive grip.
And yet with all this flexibility, the Holmes is unusually steady to drive. Without
the slightest feeling of fatigue, greater mileage can be covered in a day than with any
other touring car.
Added to this superior ability in holding the road is the fuel economy and high tire
mileage which has established the Holmes as the most economical of quality cars.
A gasoline consumption of 18-20 miles to the gallon, in the air-cooled motor with aeroplane type valves, eight
teen valves all in the head, a tire service of 10,000 miles to the set, are proof that high operating cost is no longer
necessary in a large, luxurious touring cat and that the price of, economy is no longer restricted carrying capacity
and cramped discomfort.
