The electric starting and lighting system passed through the ordeal perfectly. The test proved the greatest for the truck in every particular ever known for the route through Illinois. lowa. North Dakota, South Dakota, Min nesota and Wisconsin was over every sort of road known, and through dis tricts where roads could hardly be termed highways. There was gumbo, rand, mud and hills, dales and prairie traveling, good, bad and Indifferent. Roads so called. In eome instances, were so bad that it took 10 hours to travel nine miles. Tet the truck car ried from one to two tons at all times and worked under regular con ditions commercially without an ef fort to cut down the load and make things easy at any time. The educa tional plan of the trip covered every item that would demonstrate to the public the utility of the motor truck under any and all conditions. No tow rope was ever attached to the Bethlehem although at times many trucks had to accept such aid. Accurate track was kept through out of the gasoline consumption, and the Bethlehem in attaining its per fect score averaged 10H miles to the gallon of petrol, an average of par ticular nqte due to the style of the highways encountered, and the dif ficulties of conditions generally in cluding the weather, that had to be overcome. Tho work of the pneumat ic tires was particularly noted on the Journey as the trip made particularly noteworthy to the commercial world the introduction of pneumatics in much of the territory traversed. The fact that the Bethlehem IV4 ton mod. e) under full load traveled the entire route with original air proved so noteworthy as to attract commenda tion. Efficiency of the motor truck was demonstrated conclusively and Gen eral Sales Manager Roy Davey of the Bethlehem Motors Corporation, gives it as his unqualified opinion that per. formance of the Bethlehem gave it a position second to none in the Amer ican motor truck Held. Mr. Davy took part in the tour for a long stretch, and raid on his return to his desk that tho National Motor Truck Development Tour Tour had accomp lished more for the motor truck that could have been accomplished in any other way. Denby Changes to Pneumatic Tires Announcement has been made by the Denby Sales Corporation, 12 Capital Street, to the effect that they have adopted the policy of equipping this one truck with pneu matic tires. The truck may still be had with solid tires, however, if requested by the purchaser. This Report Declares Trotzky Is Leading Savage New Attack By Associated Press . London, Oct. 25.—Rallying under the command of Leon Trotzky, Bol shevik minister of war and marine, troops of the Russian Soviet govern ment have savagely attacked the lines of the Russian Northwestern Army, and have succeeded in carrying for the moment at least, the thrust of the latter against Petrograd, ac cording to reports reaching this city. Tsarskoe-Selo and Pavlovsk, south of Petrograd, haw; been recaptured from the forces Yudenltch, it is claimed, any the advance of the Bol shevikl continues. South of Moscow, where General Denlkine's adventure has menaced to a certain degree the hold of the Bol sheviki on the ancient city of the Czars, flghtlilg is going en, but noth ing as to the results obtained has been learned. Reports Indicate, how. ever, consideration by the Soviet leaders of a plan to withdraw all Bol shevik troops into Turkestan and to abandon Moscow. Serbian forces are on their way to Odessa to assist Gen eral Denikine in his campaign. Tobolsk. Western Siberia, 1s said to have been oaptured from the Kol ebak army by the Bolshevlkl. This report, if confirmed, would indicate an advance of the Soviet army in that sector, as last reports showed them quite a distance to the westward of Tobolsk. HOLY LAND LECTURE The Rev. A. H.

TELEGRXPS Packard Company Will Double Production A clear indication of the constant ly expanding market for automo biles of the better class in America is seen in the announcement of the Packard Motor Car Company, that their production for the calendar year, 1920, will be more than double that for the year 1919. While 'their may be some minor changes in seating arrangements, there will be no so-called 1920 models. This is in line with the Packard policy of adhering to certain funda mental principles of engine and body design. The engine of the present Pack ard Twin Six is practically identical with the first one which was pro duced, April, 1916. This Twin.Six motor is the one which people have come to know as the forerunner of the famous Liber ty engine In that it first vindicated the twelve cylinder "V" type of construction. Parallel with the five years' suc cess of the Packard Twin Bix en gine run the extraordinary record breaking feats of Ralph De Palma, who has broken most of the world's Important speed records with a Packard twelve cylinder motor (aviation type.) The fastest car on earth, Packard "905," is the holder of many of these records on straightaway courses. This car is now being exhibited throughout the southwest. Boy Scouts Turn Out in Force For Halloween; New Ceremonial Used A Boy Scout Halloween Rally of District No. 4, under Deputy Com missioner Dr. M. V. Hazen, was held last night with about 150 scouts present. Troops 5, 11, 16 and 19 were represented. The rooms were decorated with corn shocks, pump kins, troop flags and patrol pen nants. Addresses were made by Scout Commissioner German, Dr. Hazen, Scout Executive Virgin, and visiting troop officials. The refreshments that the scouts tucked away were twenty gallons of cider, four cans of pretzels, two bushels of apples, and large quantities of ginger bread, cakes and peanuts. The evening closed with the repeating of the scout oath and pledge to the flag. The new investiture ceremonies which were used last evening in raising scouts to higher ranks teach the principles of scouting by sym bols. Three candles representing the three parts of the scout oath and twelve other lights representing the the twelve points of the scout law were used. Albert Miller was raised to a ten derfoot scout, and Carl Schultz, George Buller, Lester Mehrlng and William Snyder were raised from tenderfoot to second-class scouts. Wilbur Criswell was raised from merit scout to assistant scoutmaster of Troop 16, this being the first time that a scout has been made a scout master, after passing through all the grades. Scoutmaster J. K. Miller, of Troop 19, was in charge of the games. EDISON JUNIOR HIGH I SCHOOL NOTES The students of section 7A-5 elect ed Wayne Brame president of their class at a recent meeting.

These of ficers will serve in their several ca pacities fit all meetings held in the auditorium during the regular school sessions. The Edison Community of ficers are the highest positions the student can hold in the Edison organ, ization. They also carry the greatest responsibility, but with that respon sibility goes a wonderful chance for personal development. The officers elected are: President, Truman Thompson. 98-6; vice-presi dent, William Heagy, 98-5; secretary. May Maynard, 88-2; captain, George Snyder, 98-7; lieutenant, Edward Bents, 98-4; treasurer, James Mid daugh, 88-3; assistant treasurer, Richard Beckley, 78-3; reporter to Edison Guard, Frank Class, 98-4; as sistant reporter to Edison Guard, Les ter Fellers, BA-4. Plans for a "Watch Tour Speech Week" are being formulated at Edi son. The students are taking kindly to the idea of the "Do Without It" clubs and they are organizing clubs in many rooms. By the end of next week there should be a club in each rcom. The committee in charge of the movement have prepared a large number of "Watch Your Speech" slo gans, and these are being printed on the board of each classroom by mem bers of the drawing classes. This will keep the idea of good English before the students ail the while they are In school and should help them to correct faulty English. The committee are also preparing little sketches which are being tried out in the class rooms and the best of them will be enacted as a later date in the auditorium before the whole student body. In these sketches the value of good English over poor. English is shown In a dra matic way. The committee- hopes in this way to get the Edison citizens to think about good English in the hope that they will come to realize that it really pays from a material, as wed as a social standpoint to use good English.

A THRILLING STORY OF MYSTERY and undying love, by James Francis Dwyer, complete In next Sunday's -witw VOSIK AMERICAN.—Adv. 350,000 Miles to Credit of This Cadillac Car Travel of 350,000 miles to date Is the record rolled up by a Cadillac which Is in bus service on the 35- mile stretch between Watertown, N. Y., and Clayton, N. Y. This figure is vouched for by Fred I Dalley, who runs the Cadillas. Mr. Dailey tells how he bought the chas sis In April. 1914. It then had a wheelbase of 145 Inches, and he fitted it out with a 16-passenger omnibus body. In this shape. Mr. Dailey says he ran the car 310,000 miles. Then he lengthened the wheelbase to 155 inches and increased the pas senger capacity 25. Since the ear was enlarged, it lias been run 40,000 miles, making the total of 350,000 miles. Mr. Dailey says he has used three radiators, having experienced freez ing several times in the severe North ern New York winters. So far as the engine works as smoothly and effici it is practically the original. He has had three sets of piston rings and two new connecting rod bearings, and is still using the orlgnal cylinder and the original pistons. He says the eglne works as smoothly and effici ently as it ever did. Bulgaria Unreservedly Adheres to Peace Terms By Associated Press Paris, Friday, Oct. 24.—Bulgaria's answer to the terms of peace pre sented her by the Allied and Associat ed powers is moderate in tone and adheres unreservedly to the clauses concerning the League of Nations and labor. It accepts the principle of the protection of minorities in Bul garia on condition the same meas ures are applied to other Balkan states. On the other hand, the reply makJs reservations regarding reparations, and protests especially against the total sum demanded of Bulgaria. It arks for the suppression of interest charges and requests an extension of the time limit for payment. Regard ing the military clauses, Bulgaria ob jects to the voluntary , enlistment system, maintaining that conscrip tion alone can produce sufficient forces to maintain order.

ANTIQUITY OF FINGER PRINTS The linger-pr,nt system that sleuths all over <ho world ha' suc cessfully ujfd in catching desperate criminals whs the Invention of ori entals, either Chinese or Japanese, according to f'iiiipino de Filtppi, writing in Nature. The discovery war originally > reaited tc Sir \\\ Herschel, in a parliamentary blue book, but Kumagusus Minakata, a Japanese, proved the case for the East. No one in the controversy quoted Rashi-ud-din, who wrote about the system in use in Cathay even in his day. It was a finger-print system of a sort, although not like that in use to-day. There was no blackening of the hands prior to the taking of the impression, but rather the hand was placed on paper and traced by the person taking the print. The hands of contracting parties were also placed on deeds in those days. De Filippi says that this ancient system is worthy of investigation to day, as study of the drawings Bhows a distinct difference in the outlines of fingers of the hands of different individuals, in the length of the fingers, the relative distance from one another, and the angle made by the axis of the thumb and the axis of the first finger, and in many other ways.
