CHINESE STYLE IN ELECTRICS TO BE USEDJNU. S. Seat in Rear for Footman May be Offered by Milburn Company. . ; i China with which we usually associate hand laundries, chop sticks and the first printing press is responsible for an innovation In the building of modern electric automobiles, says Harry Chenoweth of the Chenowetli Auto Co., dealer in Milburn electrics. To satisfy demands made by the Chinese elite, the Milburn Wagon company of Toledo, builders of the Milbarn electric, are equipping all cars destined for China with what is known as the "coolie" seat. These are mounted on the rear and are Intended for coolie attendants, without whom none of the upper class appears in public. The coolie resembles, so far as his duties are concerned, the more or less obsolete footman who rode on the box or on a high seat In the rear of the coaches fashionable In the days of our forebears. Coolie Sits Behind While the car is in motion the coolie sits perched upon the seat built especially for him. As soon as it come3 to a stop he must dismount, open the door of the car, help the occupants to alight and then stand guard until their return. After the car's occupants have again taken their places and their every comfort is , assured, the coolie remounts to his position, often being forced to do so while the car is in motion. The new seats are made as comfortable for the attendant as possible. The seat is cushioned and it is supported in front by springs. Handles have been added at the sides to eliminate the possibilities of losing the attendant at some sharp turn, and a foot-rest also has been provided. Solicitude for the comfort of the coolie practically ends there, however. When it rains he is liable to a drenching. Scores of these are being built for the Chinese trade by the Milburn company which for the last several years has done an extensive business in tlio Asiatio country. It is not anticipated by Milburn officials that the American public will follow the style established by the Chinese.

REPUBLIC BEGINS PEACE PRODUCTION "The problem of turning our factories to the manufacture of peace products is not nearly so serious as that which confronted us in converting from a peace to a war basis," says F. W. Ruggles, president of the Republic Motor Truck company, Inc., Alma, Michigan. "Our continuous production of Republic trucks throughout the war, on a greatly restricted scale, of course, and the fact that our work for the government was practically confined to the production of standard trucks, enables us to make the post-war transition with little or no change in our manufacturing facilities. "The elimination of government work from Plant 1, an important unit of the Republic factories, has permitted that plant to resume work exclusively on trucks for commercial use. The last big consignment of standard three-and-a-half ton Republic war trucks left our factories just before beginning of the new year. There are still a number of Republic trucks being built under government specifications at our military plant. These should be completed and ready for delivery the middle of next month. This will clear our decks entirely and enable us to put through our extenHive production plans without interruption. "When the history of the motor truck industry is written, the year just passed, will probably be pointed out as the year in which the motor truck came Into its own. " No one industry was more in the public eye during 1918, or the year previous than the motor truck industry. Given Its big opportunity by the .world war and the consequent necessity for bettering transportation facilities, the motor truck immediately made good. And now even the most skeptical will readily concede that the field of motor truck usefulness has barely been scratched and that the new giant industry is bound to grow to even greater proportions. "And now, taking all things into consideration, I believe that the year ahead of us will be by far the biggest year we have ever known." Webster, lnd. The sale of Lem McNutt was largely attended.

In a suit filed by Leroy Beasley and Edna Ayers against James Beasley and others, in which the plaintiffs sought to have a deed set aside. Judge G. W. Mannix, of Greenville, has handed down a decision in which he sustains the contention of the plaintiffs and declares the deed void, set aside and held for naught. The deed in question was executed by the mother of the plaintiffs and conveyed to their father, James Beasley, her half of sixty-three acres of land in Harrison township, the father owning the other half. The plaintiffs averred their mother executed the deed during her last illness, and twenty days, before her death, and was not capable of knowing what she was doing. They allege undue influence and fraud were resorted to in procuring the deed. There are two minor heirs who are benefited by the court's decision, which was received here Friday morning. Judge Mannix presided at the trial of the case here some days ago. Following arguing of a motion for a new trial in the suit of Elmer Wright against the Indianapolis Glove company, Judge G. W. Mannix, of Greenville, granted S. B. Foos, counsel for the plaintiff, fifteen days in which to file an affidavit in support of his claim that he had discovered a source of evidence valuable to his client since trial of the case. Wright sued the company for $295, which he claimed for extra labor at the local plant of the company. The jury hearing the case rendered a verdict in favor of the company. KEEPING COTTER PINS. A very convenient method of keeping cotter pins of assorted sizes is to string them through the eyes on a bit of string or wire. In this way when the whole lot is picked up, it is easy to select the one needed, whereas in fishing through a box of loose pins there is much chance for lost temper.
