82,000 MACIIIIIES MADE ill AMERICA

Manufacture of Automobiles This Year Has Established New Record. If. S. IS LEADING WORLD GREAT EFFORT HA3 BEEN MADE BY THE TOURISTS TO SECURE UNIFORM SPEED LAWS IN THE UNITED 8TATES. Chicago, Dec. 6. It is estimated that 83,000 gasoline, steam and electric motor cars were manufactured in America during 1909. This is an increase over 1908 by about 48 per ecnt. or 27,000 cars. In production, the United States led foreign countries this year by a good margin, having built and marketed more cars than all other nations combined. France produced, in round numbers only 25,000; England, 20,000; Germany, 7,000, and Italy, 5,000. At present there are upward of 200,000 motor cars in use in the United States, a relatively small percentage of which are of foreign manufacture. This means that this country now possesses more than half the cars on the entire globe. : A fair percentage of the American output was exported to various parts of the world, the government reports showing that for the nine months ending September, 1909, the value of automobiles and parts amounted to $6,099,857, as against $4,346,298 last year, during a corresponding period, which taking the last three months of 1909, not yet reported, into consideration, shows an increase of about $2,000,000. A foreign shipment of 2,426 complete cars was recorded for the nine months 1,812 more cars than for the same months of last year. The average export value per car this season was $2,200, which indicates that it Is the high-priced cars and not the cheaper ones that are going abroad. New Plan for Contests. One important matter taken up in 1909 was the formation and incorporation of the Manufacturers' Contest Association, composed of a number of motor car makers, which, beginning January 1, 1910, will have control of contests and racing; having a working agreement with the American Automobile Association, which in the past has not conducted contests along the most desirable lines for all concerned . Special legislation, affecting motorists and their relations with the public at large, has interested many states, resulting in new licensing ideas, the remoulding of speed and operating laws, or the enactment of new ones. The licensing of operators has been widely adopted. Thirty-eight states now have motor vehicle laws a slight Increase over last year and twelve of these require that all operators be licensed. The latter number includes all of the New England states, Pennaylvanla. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland. West Virginia and Missouri. Eight states, among which are New York, Illinois and California, now license professional chauffeurs only, while fourteen more Western and Southern Btates have no licensing provision in their statutes. Effort for Speed Laws. Greater efforts than ever have been made during the year to secure national uniform touring and speed laws a movement still pending while more recently, in Paris, delegates from a dozen foreign powers endeavored to secure International uniform regulations. Owing to the fact that the United States has no uniform laws for its states and territories, it could not take fin active part in the movement. Nine European countries, however, signed an agreement which will greatly simplify travel in the principal countries abroad. The good roads propaganda has made gigantic strides In the twelve months past especially in the South, where there has been a veritable "awakening" thanks to the efforts of the promoters of the New York-Atlanta tour, which produced the new "National Highway" the Atlanta automobile show and other Influences. One billion seven hundred and twenty thousand millions and five hundred and thirty-nine thousand dollars no sum to scoff at was the amount appropriated by various states for roadbuilding and improvement this year, and $73,000,000 of it, a goodly sized chunk, was the South's share. More than 1,975,000 miles of roads were involved in this improvement. The good roads convention, held at Cleveland on September 21, attended by delegates from almost every state in the union, was responsible for much of the highway agitation, and the good results of it w!U be noticed in 1910.

GROVE'S signature Is on each box. 25c' The Sublime Porte, The phrase "the sublime porte" arises from an aspect of the saltan's capital. The French words "sublime porte" are derived from "porta subllma." meaning "the lofty gate." Constantinople city used to have twelve gates, and near one was a building with an imposing gateway called Bab-l-Humajun. In this bonding resided the grand fcuer. and there also were the offlces of the chief ministers, whence all the edicts of state were issued. The French phrase was adopted because at the time French was the language sf Cnropean diplomacy.

As a result of some very Interesting experiments made at Washington with a view to determine the relative strength of right and left limbs it has been ascertained that over 50 per cent of the men examined had the right arm stronger than the left, 16.40 per cent bad the arms of equal length and strength, and 32.70 per cent had the left arm stronger than the right. Of women 46.90 per cent had the right arm stronger thau the left, and 24.50 per cent bad the left stronger than the right. In order to arrive at the average length of limbs fifty skeletons were measured, twenty-five of each sex. Of these twenty-three bad the right arm and left leg longer, six the left arm and right leg. while in seventeen cases all the members were more or less equal in length. Exchange.

BUCKHAIID CREW 111 DEATH FIGHT

Seventeen Men Will Go on Trial Tuesday for Thirty Killings. GOOD EVIDENCE SECURED THERE ARE 225,000 MEMBERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEY PREY ON RICH ITALIANS TRIALS AT TOLEDO. Toledo. O., Dec. 6. Probably the most extensive efforts to convict a body of Sicilians, who are charreJ with being members of the Mafia, will be started Tuesday in this city. On that day there will be arraigned seventeen Sicilians. The postal inspectors charge them with being responsible for thirty murders . in this country and nearly every tther crime down to petit larceny. Inspector J. Frank Oldfield, who will head the prosecution, says he has enough evidence to send them to prison for the rest of their lives. The head of the Society of the Banana, as the Ohio organization is known, is Salvatore Lima, a fruit dealer at Marion, Ohio. The former leader was Salvatore Arrigo of Cincinnati, also under arrest. Others in the party are Sebastian Lima, Vincent Arrigo, Francisco Spadora, Joseph Batagalia and Salvatore Rizo, arrested in Marion in June: Joseph and Antonio Nuzzo. arrested in Cleveland; Augustini Marfesi, Antonio and Cologero Viccario, Dennison, .O.; Antonio Bicherio, Bellefontaine, O.; Salvatore Ventola, Columbus, O.. Pettino Gal bo. Meadville, Pa., and Orazio Rumpola, Pittsburg. All Members of Mafia. All these men are Sicilians and members of .the Mafia. In Italy there is a similar organization known as the Neapolitan Camora, which flourished in Naples at the time of Napoleon's wars, and h?.s since degenerated into a class of cut-throats and robbers, where before it was a political adjunct. Very little of the history of these men will be given out by the postal authorities, through whose efforts alone they were arrested. They are charged with attempting to extort $10,000 from John Amicon, a wealthy fruit dealer of Columbus. That is all the inspectors will say. But it is known that the officials hope to prove the origin of more than thirty murders through this one body, which has flourished in Ohio for several years. Inspector J. Prank Oldfield of Athens, the "Petrosino of the postal service," says he knows they can be convicted, and that he has evidence that will send them all to the federal prisons. Two Bands of Criminals. There are two bodies of criminals in Mediterranean Europe which have come to a considerable standing in America. One is the Sicilian Mafia; the other the Neapolitan Camora. By far the more dangerous of these is the Mafia. The Sicilian organization, if such it can be termed, has always , existed there, from the time halfcivilized people occupied that beauti ful island. The Camora was organized at the time of Napoleon's conquest of Italy and was for the political purpose of keeping down the demands of unlicensed or extravagantly licensed tax gatherers. It is said that fully three-fourths of the criminals coming from Italy to America are Sicilians. The Mafia is the criminal class of people in Sicily those who blackmail, kill, threaten to kill and so on. There is no head to it and anybody who can write can belong. In Sicily the members of the society are known as the Mafiosi, and each one is known as a Mafioso. The workings of the organization are without limit, unseen, frequently unknown, unaccountable, but always present. By the conspiracy of silence known as the "Omerta" its workings are safeguarded, if a Mafioso commits a crime his friends and enemies alike keep still. These people are not especially noteworthy for their deeds, except that they will kill if their demands are not granted. Two-thirds of the ordinary police force in Sicily are said to be members of the Mafia, three-fourths the judges the same and fully half the men given to depredations upon the others. KIDNEY MISERY
