GERMANY CAN'T DO PRODUCTS UPON NEUTRALS

BERLIN, Oct 14. George Bernard, I one of the. foremost German political ! and economic authorities In the "Vos-

slsche Zeltung" ridicules the Idea that

Germany will use the present belllf or

ient and all neutral countries as a

damping ground for cheap goods after

Ithtf Var. He says: ,' "The word 'dumping used as a buga'boo by the British press propoganda In America to create sentiment against Germany, and it has become a kind of a., slogan In France and England. '"The British, French and American public is told that the German manufacturers after the war will flood all countries with their products and sell them below cost to kill competition and to ruin the Industries of their op ponents and the United States. 'Go Into Hysterics. "Even otherwise sensible and serfoub French pspers like the 'Journal 4es Debate' and the Paris 'Gaulois' go into hysterics over this alleged peril ,and a part of the American press, like ,the British papers, clamors for an an surmountable tariff wall against all German products. f "It Is hardly worth while to contradiet this nonsense, because the French in their fanaticism are deaf to all arguments and the British, who know better, will continue their campaign against German commerce at home and In neutral countries, because they re firmly resolved to keep the trade 'of the world under their absolute control forever. j. "Even a man with limited knowledge iof the economic principles which govern International commerce knows 'that the flooding of the foreign markets with cheap German goods Is out of question for very simple reasons. Raw Material Scarce. "In the first place Germany Is not able to pile up great stocks of products during the war, because the necessary raw materials cannot be obtained and . more than forty per cent of the factories of the empire are making war materials. The remaining industrial establishments are hardly able to sup- ' ply the domestic demand and cannot think of storing up surplus stocks. "Dumping of German goods, even If 'they could be produced during the war, would only be possible under a system lof subsidies. The government would have to cover the losses suffered by the manufacturers In trying to conquer the foreign markets by underselling. "The subsidies necessary for such a

campaign of commercial conquest wnulri amount to billions of dollars

and the financial conditions of Ger

many at the end of the war will make

the payment or sucn sums an lmpos- ' elbility. "The German manufacturers and merchants will of course try to regain the foreign trade lost through the war, but they will fight competition in the '- same way as they have done before byfurnishing the best poods that can be made at a reasonable profit. There will be-no dumping anywhere in the world, at least not on the part of Ger-many."

KANSAS TOWN MOVES IN GARS

SALIXA, Kan., Oct. 14. The town , of Victor is moving today moving seven miles to Hunter. In long caravanB , wagons and trucks are transporting ''one town to the other; i Victor has been defeated in Us fight with Hunter for the Salina Northeastiern railroad. So, after admitting it had been beaten Victor has decided to get on the railroad line. The bant has already been moved overland Into Hunter, and the elevator and several business enterprises, with residents and employes, will follow.

center, has, been planned, tor Mem phis, v ., .'. .'.-..'., t

. Years ago.. wnen Memphis was a

good steamboat town, before the ad

vent of the railroad and. when the population was only a few thousands the Court Avenue Presbyterian church was established. Memphis grew up around the. church and it Is now sur

rounded on all sides by tall buildings. The property Is too valuable to be used

for church purposes alone and the con

gregation decided-to build an office building on the site.' ' . : The church will be three stories high. Its entrance will be through an alcove and it will be literally covered up and surrounded by the office building. ARMENIAN MAKES LONG TRIP TO UNIVERSITY

IDENTIFY 0 ARIES'

DY FOOT PRINTS MADE FOR RECORD

LONDON, Oct . 14. There will . bj no more changelings or Sltngsby baby

cases If a new system of recording a child's Identity is generally adopted. The fingerprint system Is now employed by the police in all countries. A convict whose thumb-print has once

been taken can always be identified.

There are obvious difficulties about taking a baby's finger-prints he hands are always curling and clutching

out its reet present no such ob

stacle. What applies to finger-prints

applies to foot-prints. , The impression of a baby's foot once taken forms a life record.

Confusion frequently occurs In ma-' ternlty hospitals often with the most unhappy consequences. The foot print system Is already employed in one great foreign hospital with most satisfactory results. All that is necessary is to cover the sole of the child's foot with printer's ink by means of a roller, and then transfer the Impression to a 6heet of paper. The Ink can be cleaned off the foot with alcohol. Care must be taken not to disturb the impressions' before they are dry. There will then exist for all time a record of the. baby's Identity which would carry weight In any court of law in after years. No matter how much the feet grow, the lines will have grown with them, and their pattern will not be changed. ' By royal order, the celebration of Arbor day has been, made obligatory in every township and municipality in Spain, and tree planting Is to be more extensive than heretofore.

WAR GIVES MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DISEASE IN ARMIES

NEW YORK, Oct. 14. The somewhat rare disease called paratyphoid

which is prevalent among the border

regiments Is entirely distinct from typhoid and is a. much milder ailment It was first described in 1895 by Dr. Gwyn of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Other pathologists have carried the investigations forward and divided the disease into two types, paratyphoid A and B. Sometimes the symptoms resemble those of summer complaint. In both types the eruption is larger and more pronounced than In typhoid fever, but the disease is much less dangerous. The European war has added much to our knowledge of paratyphoid. It is oftenest noticed in armies. Dr. Lan-

douzy, a French physician, discovered a vaccine in December, 1914, after the malady had begun to trouble the troops in Flanders. Drs. Widal and Gourmont have proposed successive vaccination for typhoid and paratyphoid and recently published an article showing the favorable results of triple vaccination with the bacilli of the two paratyphoids and of typhoid fever. They have proved the harmlessness of the former to one of the latter. They have proved the

4,000 persons previously immunized with typhoid bacilli. The presence of paratyphoid in United States army troops has nothing to do with the effectiveness of typhoid vaccination.

Not by the slightest jerk or tremor do you realize the acceleration of this new Minute Man Six. For it Is virtually a symphony in mechanism a machine of Herculean power, but docile to the touch of your finger tips and clothed in a design of surpassing and beauty. The master, touch that completes this car's perfection is the Moore Multiple Exhaust System, which gives to motoring a new criterion of comfort and zest in the

MINUTE MAM DIU

This exclusive Lexington feature creates 22.8 more power, it adds to the engine's flexibility, saves gasoline, and is largely responsible in making the Lexington the only car that can "toboggan up hill." Without adding appreciable weight, this system eliminates high back pressure in the exhause by not letting any two cylinders exhaust into the same tube at the same time. Thus the Lexington alone removes the handicap to multi-cylinder construction, gives you the benefit of all the engine's power and resultant economy. Sums Up the Best in All of Them You can see a lot of good cars at the Centennial next week but after you have made a note of the special points of the individual cars, just look over the LEXINGTON Minute Man Six and, see how it sums up the best features of all of them. The LEXINGTON is a car for connoisseurs. It is most appreciated by those who have accumulated motor car experience and can judge critically people who want thoroughly approved construction and as many of the refinements as it is possible to get in any but the most expensive car. ' - The LEXINGTON Minute Man Six is the product of a unique brganization, ten big factories closely allied by common ownership; These same factories produce the LEXINGTON Thoroughbred, a car selling for more than twice as much as the LEXINGTON Minute, Man, and the" standards of the Thoroughbred are reflected in the Minute Man. . . - Your money cannot buy more than it buys in the LEXINGTON Minute Man Six. The proof of this ,is in the list of ...
