'Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 20. Ideal
football weather, a tremendous crowd
and exceptionally keen interest were
assured for today's gridiron battle be
tween Yale and Harvard.
Clear, crisp air and a cloudless sky,
with not a breath of wind provided per-
foctpjaying, conditions. The field was
dry ana last ana in taintless condition.
At a surprisingly early hour the foot
ball fans began rolling into Cambrdige.
They gave evidence that predictions of
a 00,00!) attendance would be made
arood.
Yale's recent heroic "come bnck"
served to add unusual interest in to
day's meeting. In spite of the fact
that the blue had been bumbled four
times in her preliminary games, her
supporters were sufficiently conridont
to cover quantities or. Harvard money
at 10 to 8. '
Emissaries from the camps of both
. teams declared that every mun who will
enter the fray is In satisfactory shape,
All Over But Harvard and Yale.
New York, Nov. 20. Although the
bigger football teams in the east, with
the exception of Harvard and Yale,
were resting today for Thanksgiving

More than usual intorest is centered

and navy compete. Today's results

Season Full of Upsets.
Chicago, Nov. 20. Football dopesters
cast wary eyes at the Illinois-Chicago
and Minnesota-Wisconsin games today,
and although the lllini and Gophers
are doped to win on form, thev refused
to make predictions. The present season
has been full of so many upsets that
experts neelino to taKe chances.
On straight form, however, the pres
ent tie between Minnesota and Illinois
for the "big nine" championship is
sine to continue, ror ootn teams are nj

Chicago and Wisconsin win, the situa

"I suppose we Reo folk are consid

Scott, vice-president and general man
ager of the Heo oMtor Oar company, to
a party of visiting engineers he was
showing through the big 30-acre Ke
plants at Lansing.
"But I think here's something that
will be entirely new even to thos pres
ent." The party stopped beside what ap
peared to be an electrical apparatus for
testing me rear axlo-of an automobile.
"I've seen one similar to that," said
one ot the engineers. "Ii s for testing
the mieiency of tho driving gears, is

"Yes," replied the Reo head, "but
it docs more than that. It not only
tests the efficiency of the gears but
discloses and lonates any gear noises.
And it goes further than that. You
will notice there are two generators
instead of one. Tne second is to test

Fine Promotions For
Jwenty Maxwell Men
WAXTEB FLANDERS REWARDS
MANY SUCCESSFUL SALES EX
ECUTIVES PLATH, SALES MAN
AGER. Detroit, Nov. 20. Promotion and in
creased responsibility come to nearly a
score of Maxwell executives as the re
sult of the annual Fall Sales Conference
of the organization at which President
and General Manager Walter E. Flan
ders annouueed his plans for 1916.
Most nroininent amone the promotions
is that of John J. Plath of New York
City who rises from Zone Sales Super
visor to be Sales Manager of the Max
well Company.
Mr. Plath has been a Maxwell man
ever since he quit selling bathtubs to
the wholesale trade throughout the mid
dle west. From his recent headquarters
in New York City he has had charge of
the Maxwell Zone 1 which includes New
England, Eastern New York and Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland. In this thickly settled part
of the United States,-against the keen
est sort of competition, Mr. Plath 's
organization has so thoroughly estab
lished the Maxwell proposition that, in
two years, it has assumed a sales pres
tige of the highest sort.
Mr. Plath 's latest proof of organiza
tion enthusiasm was the lecent dealers'
tour in which Maxwoll representatives
from all the North Atlantic states gath
ered at Buffalo and drove to their
homes in new Maxwell cars which
established economy records of from 25
to 36 miles per gallon of gasoline.
The Maxwell sales manager will de
vote especial attention to work in the
field with dealers and distributors.
Another promotion by Mr. Flanders
is that of John Yoke to be District
Supervisor of Sales. Mr. Yoke is a
veteran in the Flanders service in which
his latest position was the sales snper-
visorsliip of the Maxwell zone o, wnn
headquarters at Kansns City. In his
new assignment Mr. Yoke will have
charge of all Maxwell field men and
the 12 field headquarters which the or
ganization maintains as wholesale and
contracting centers.
Increased responsibility lias also Deen
aivon bv Mr. Flanders to C. E. Stebbins,
assistant sales manager who, at Detroit,
will handle all executive sales details
arising nt the main headquarters.
C. R. Nowby, JU It. cooper and T. J.
Tonor, former zone supervisors who
have played prominent parts in the
development of Maxwell distribution,
have been attached direct to the nation
al sales Btaff with headquarters in the
field Newby in the Middle West,
Cooper in the East, and Toner on the
Pncifie Const.
In Mr. Flanders' revised planzone
centers have been established at a num
ber of additional points, and men in
side the organization appointed to
supervise them. The confers and zono
supervisors are as follows:
Boston, h. F. Smith: New xorK, . vv.

J. P. Hoadley; Chicngo, E. M. Lubeck;

sound to be considered is what the
Reo folk cal "coasting noises."
"Fur from being fogies, tho Reo
folk are recognized in the industry as
being the foremost in the development
of new and better devices lor accurate
machining and accurato testing of the
parts and chassis of automobiles. If
Vice-President Scott has one hobby it 's
thnt of factory equipment. His great
delight is to try out the very newest
thing in mechanical science, arid he Is
authority for the statement that the
automobile has ilono more to develop
automatic tools than any other meehan-
Plcul device tiint has over been known.
Reo was one of the very lirst, if not
tho first, to npply a dynamometor test
to motors, and instead of testing only
one motor out of every ton or twenty,
the Reo folk test every individual mo
tor by dynainoineter. The ampere volt
age readings are takon at the various
driving speeds and the exact horsepow
er developed by each individual motor
at the different speeds is automatically
recorded.
So thoroughly is Reo leadership rec
ognized in this regard, snarcoly a day
passes without a visit to tho Reo plants
of some delegation of engineers from
other fnctorles, to study the newest
wrinkles and to learn better ways of
doing things.
"We are afton asked," said Mr.
Scott, "whether wo think it is a good
policy to keep open house for our ri
vals for of courso you know that the
latcbstring is always on the outside
and we cordialy invite engineers from
rival concerns to go through the R0
factories.
"I have sometimes been amused by
the secrecy attempted by some factor
ies. 1 have found invariably t.Wt when
you once penetrate the wall you find
nothing. Engineers who keep their
doors closed to others generally shut
out from themselves more than from
their rivals. We find that the open-door-policy
pays."
"At the same time engineers learn
here some better wav of doing, we alro
loam from them. And, thougn we may
seem a little slow, because of our con
servatism in the matter of quantity
production, we are just conceited
enough to think that by the time others
have copied onr prosont method we
will have developed another that is
better. In other words, we have al
ways ninnsged to keep just one step
ahead and that satisfies us."

National Cash Register Head, Foresee
ing Prosperity, Backs Up His Opinion
With His Money; Is Spending $200,
000 This Month for Publicity. .
Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 20. In the con
vention of salesmen of the National
Cash Register Company, gathered here
from all parts of this continent, reports
were made indicating the general im
provement of business everywhere. Out
of the eight hundred salesmen present,
all but one said that his territory was
moving fast toward a business boom.
On the basis of these reports, John
II. Patterson, president and general
mannaer of the Cash Rcuister Com
pany, predicted that the approaching
era of prosperity would probably ex
ceed anything this country has ever
known.
As a preface to his remarks, he re
viewed the business depression of the
previous two years. This, he said, had
affected all lines agriculture, mining,
industry, commerce and finance.
".Now," he continued, "the boom is
on. Agricultural interests are the
first to feel it. The farmers have

up, one after another. Then the stores
needed goods, and factory wheels began
to move. Then commerce and transpor
tation reflected the change. Finally, it
was manliest in the financial world
We have plenty of money and the best
banking system in the world today.
"We have three big fedoral organi
zations taking care of these various
interests: First, tho Interstate Com
merce Commission: then came the Fed
eral Trade Commission;, and, finally,
the Federal Reserve Board, with its
chain of reserve bankB. The value of
these three boards or commissions to
the country cannot be cstinintcd.
"Through the aid of tho reserve
banks the various banking institutions
of the country ncgan'to loan monoy
where people could not got it before.
JSow, with big crops and big demands,
with littlo foreign competition, we are
at the commencement of an era of pros
perity such as this country has never
seen before. -
"All this great prosperity cannot
come in a day. It will take time. But
conditions everywhere are improving.
The farmers are prosperous. The mills
of Pittsburg are busier than ever be
fore. Railroad stocks are going up. It
is only a question of a short time be
fore the wave of prosperity will be
upon us.
"Now is tho lime for storekeepers
to advertise," added Mr. Patterson. Ho
is backing up his opinion with his
money. His company is spending more
than $200,000 this month for adver
tising. In addition, it has spent 50,

Fall of General
and Causes Back of It
Washington, IX (,'., Nov 20. The
present breach between Cnrrauza and
Villa was opened a year ago, by jeul
ousy, rivalry and mistni.-it. Peace was
short lived following Cnrrauza 's entry
into Mexico City in August, 19.14. A
month later Villa began his revolt
against Cnrrauza, who was supported
by General Obreon. General Angeles,
military rival of Obrcgon, sided with
Villa.
The Villa-Carrnnzn breach wideued
when Villa demanded that Carrnnzn
proclaim himself provisional president,
according to the "plun of Guadalupe,"
name a cabinet and call elections. Cnr
rauza did not do this. It would have
disjiinlil'ied him for the presidency.
The Agnus Culientes convention wus
then culled to mediate. Cnrrauza claim
ed the convention was packed by Villa
delegates planning his overthrow. The
convention, in which Zapata was repre
sented, declurod Currauzu a rebel, pro
claimed the new conventionalist gov
ernment, elected Eulnlio Gutierrez pro
visional president. The Villista armies
captured Mexico City.
This was the strongest, poiut in Vil
la's efforts. From this moment his
power waned. Cnrrauza and Obrcgon
retreuteu to Vera Cruz. Villa and Za
pata controlled three-fourths of Mex
ico. Defection of Gutierrez started the1
disintegration of Villa 'b power. Gutier
rez, outraged by Villa s cruelties and
barbarities, he said, left Mexico City
with several thousand troops under
General Lucio Blanco. His counter-re
volt collapsed. Tho conventionalists
elected Roque Gonzales Garza presi
dent. Gutierrez fled to the mountains.
Obregon grndunlly built tip Larranza's
army, Mexico City was captured and
re-captured a half dozen times.
