Italy has passed through the crisis of the metal worker' morement, according to the Glornale D'ltaHo. In commenting on the situa tion, the newspaper saya: "Until last Saturday e were on the edge of bolshevlsm. That danger seems to be removed nnd leaders of workmen have become heralds of necessity to pro duce more. We shall see whether thev are nblp to have thplr followers do so." Government officials are attacked by the Idea Noilonate. which says their at titude "corresponds to abdication to a stranger, who commands from Moscow and from whom funds have been nsked for communist propaganda." In an editorial devoted to the present situation, the Trlb-'na observes: "The abnormality of the mentally criminal has reached such a point that the leaders of workmen who met nt Milan to solve n very grave situation, not only did not solve it, but created one still worse," -iJ- -U.

Tammany In its bct days never had the organization I.undln hn. One of its novelties is pledging voteis in advance of the primaries to vote tor Thompson candidate. It Is conceded by the opposition that Thompson has 382.000 such pledges In Chicago. The Thompson people claim manv more. If you believe the opponents of Thompson, these pledges nre extorted under n sort of political duress. A busi ness man approached cannot well refuse to sign. Aud. havlns signed, he cannot Well fall to vote as he hns pledged. Huge efforts have been mnde to got thp women voters registered not only In Chicago, but throughout the state, in some narts of the stnte, nnd in Chi cago. It Is said that virtually all the. Republican women arc on the polling lists. The biggest primary vote ever cast will probably come out tomorrow. In spite of the cfBciencv of the . Thompson-Lundln machine, its oppon ents count upon burjing the Thompson state candldn'es. Republicans Down State Aroused A Chicago editor inised the cry of Tammany ngnlnst Thompson.

Obviously, the price will come down when more oil comes up. But that will be only a respite, not a cure. The fact is, the time has arrived to in crease the radius of motor mileage independent of the gas tank. The Overland designers reached that con clusion four years ago. That was not difficult. But the solution was. Wc will tell you why. Anyone with a smattering of mechani cal knowledge knows that to reduce the weight of a car is to reduce the cost of maintenance. But, ordinarily, to reduce the weight of a car is to sacrifice the comfort of rid ing in it; and comfort weighs just as much as economy on a motor ride. The problem, was to' combine light weight economy with heavyweight comfort Expert engineering knowledge said it couldn't be done. That was the tradition that a genera tion of automobile designers had set up. And that is the tradition that the Over land designers have upseU After four years of unrelenting effort, involving millions of dollars in experi mentation, and millions more in read justing the thousandfold activities of the Overland plants to the fundamental change in Overland plans, the most per plexing of automobile problems is solved.
