Whiskers. Enclosed cars for comfort.
High-powered cars for the boys who
want to "step on 'er" and leave a trail
of red-hot gasoline behind them.
" Dolled-up cars, a multi-colored host
of them, with special bodies, special
wheels, special tops and special ve
lour seats to sink into. Jazzy cars,
ober cars, green cars, red cars, blue
cars, yellow cars, everything but trol
ley cars. There Isn't a trolley or
cable car in the whole show.
Radiator Vary in Shape.
There are cars with straight-up ra
diators, and some with the radiators
rounded at the top like the pate of
a bald-headed man. And one new
model comes along with the radiator
bent back at about the angle at which
some men smoke cigars.
- There are about as many different
types of motive equipment, more or
less, as there are cars. Beginning
with the four-cylinder Ford and
Chevrolet, the list includes many
other four-cylinder cars, a host of
sixes, quite a lot of eights and one
12-cylinder automobile, the Packard
twin-six. The sixes are considerably
In the plurality, though there are a
ot of fours, including some of the
higher-priced cars like the Stutz and
the new Revere and Shaw, each of
the latter of which has the Deusen
berg racing type motor.
ven to say that a car has a four,
a six. an eight or a 12-cylinder motor
tells only a part of the story, for
there are cars with L-head motors
and others that employ the valve-in-head
principle, of which the Buick is
an example. Some which gain the
effect of more cylinders by increas
ing the number of valves, such as the
Stutz and Pierce-Arrow. one a four,
the other a six. And some with the
Knight sleeve-valve type of motor,
like the Willys-Knight and Stearns-
Knlght.
One car, the Stanley, is not pro
pelled by gasoline at all, but by steam.
Many changes in outward appear
ance greet the show visitor, even
among the cars of standard make,
long known here. For example, the
new Mitchell appears for the first
time with a tilted radiator. The
Mitchell never has been known as a
car of extreme styles, and its engi
neers declare that this tilted radiator
type is going to become standard be
fore long on all cars. One reason
they urge therefore is that this tilt
greatly reduces wind resistance.
Much Interest attaches to the new
cars at the show, of which there are
many. One of the new models which
Just about everybody who attends the
show asks about is the new Willys
Knight, which has been expected here
for months but arrived only in time
for the show. But a complete line
of these cars is presented, including
five-passenger, .roadster, coupe and
sedan. The Willys-Knight is vastly
changed In appearance from the old
model, though not at all like Its small
brother, the Overland four, which fea
tures the new triplex spring suspen
sion. The Willys-Knight is one of
the two cars at the show with the
Knight sleeve - valve motor, the
6tearns-Knlght being the other.
Shaw Another New Car.
Another new car is the Shaw, which
has a most strikingly different radi
ator front view. It Is in the high
priced class, being one of the speed
cars with the Deusenberg motor.
The new Briscoe, another new
model much discussed in advance,
hadn't arrived from the factory in
time to be displayed at the show yes
terday, but It will be there later In
the week. The Monroe, another four-
cylinder car new to this territory, also
bad not been placed in the snow,
though it. too. will be seen later.
But another of the new models that
has excited a world of interest, the
nost-war Marmon. was in place. It
proved even a greater center of at'
traction than had been expected.
Cutaway Chassis Shown.
Several interesting exhibits includ
ed cut-away chassis. One of these
was exceptionally attractive, a cut
away chassis of the Nash six. The
sides of the motor had been cut away
and replaced with glass, and the in
terior studded with tiny electric
lights. The motor was operated by
electricity, and the lights twinkling
through the glass made every .opera
tion of the working parts visible.
As an educational exhibit, nothing
better than this has ever been seen
at a Portland show.
' Another cut-away chassis wss that
of he Maxwell four, beautifully fin
ished in nickel and with every work
ing part of the motor exposed.
Among the "special jobs" at the
how. of which there were many,
was the much-heralded Studebaker
"bulldog." This turned out to be a
beautifully built special body Job on
a Studebaker chassis. But such a
and Etill not see all there is to see.
The show is made especially attrac

GENEVA, Feb. 19. Ex-King Con
stantino of Greece, in a statement to
day with reference to the claim of
Ellptherios Venizelos in the Greek
chamber that he considered himself
the ruler of Greece by divine right
said:
I am absolutely convinced that
during the war I pursued no policy
but that desired by toy people. Un
happily, the present Greek govern
ment holds the whole country under
the terrorism of dictatorship; martial
law exists, prisons are crowded, de
portations are practiced and political
prosecutions continue with severe
penalties against numerous politicians
and generals who rendered great serv
ices to the country.
"When I left Athens in June, 1918,
M. Jonnart French envoy, declared to
me in the name of the allies that
after the war the Greek people would
be called upon to express their will
by a vote, and that their will would
be respected."
The ex-king maintained that the
powers never anticipated what use
the Greek government would make
of the power it received, and h de

that it said Greece.
Miss Helen Winkler and Miss E.
Alsberg Relate Ellis Island Work
to Jewish Women's CounciL
Details in the care, of Jewish immi
grants were described last night at
the Neighborhood house by Miss
Helen Winkler, chairman of the de
partment of immigrant aid of the
National Council of Jewish Women,
and Miss E. Elsberg, secretary of the
immigrant aid department Miss
Alsberg has served as one of the two
women on the council of six repre
sentatives permitted by the govern
ment to remain on Ellis island dur
ing the war in charge of social serv
ice work among the immigrants.
Miss Winkler declared that local
Jewish people should not encourage
relatives to come to this country
unless they are sure they are sound
in mind, body and morals. She dwelt
at length upon the advantages of the
country.
"No matter what you have or have
not as an immigrant" she said, "if
you have been religiously oppressed
anywhere you can find a home In the
United States."
She told of supplying shoes to
Jewish immigrant girls, who landed
in New lork with scarcely sufficient
clothing. Many of them became ill
almost immediately, she said, because
they had been undernourished in
Europe.
Miss Alsberg instructed the gather
ing as to the proper methods of
sending money, parcels and other ar
ticles to relatives in the old country
and how to bring relatives to the
United States with the least possible
difficulty. She told of the subterfuges
resorted to by some to get out of
Russia and Poland, where there ara
nu means of communication with this
country.

Smallpox: Worse at Walla Walla.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., Feb. 23.
(Special.) The influenza situation in
Walla Walla is much improved, as-
Oh! That Back of Mine!
It is many ft woman's com
plaint for it seems as though it
would break, feet swell too
sometimes and head buzzes.
This is often due to the uric acid
which accumulates in the rys
tem. Naturally " when the kid
Beys are deranged the blood
is filled with poisonous waste
matter, which settles in the
feet, ankles and wrists; or under
the eyes in bag-like formations.
Often there is pain in back or limbs.
As a remedy for those easily recognised symptoms of in
flammation caused by uric acid as scalding urine, backache and
frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or if uric acid
in the blood has caused rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, gout, it is
simply wonderful how quickly Dr. Pierce's Anurio acts; when you
take this new kidney remedy of Dr. Pierce's the pains and stiffness
rapidly disappear, for "An uric" (anti-uric-acid) is many times more
potent than lithia and often eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar, thus removing rheumatism and lumbago.
San Francisco, Calif. "I have used Dr. Pierce's remedies in my
family for fifteen years and have found on every occasion that they
gave satisfactory results. I have recommended (hem to dozens of
relatives and friends, and each one praised them very highly. Re
cently I was troubled with my kidneys and my back constantly
pained me. I took three packages tf Dr. Pierce's An uric Tablets .
which removed all pain and cleared up conditions. I advise every
one to give Dr. Pierce's remedies a fair trial."
