"Motor Age" gives this opinion:
Adoption -of the two-speed rear axle by
one of the larger makers of motor cars for
the coming season may be taken as a cri
terion of the efforts that are general
throughout the industry toward the easier
maintenance. In this case, the ease of
maintenance attained is indirect, but none
the less present. The effect of doubling
the number of speeds obtained in the gear
set is believed to make for longer life of
the motor since it need not be worked on a
hard pull or made to turn over so rapidly
at high car speeds. In other words, the
increased flexibility of the power plant is
expected to result in its greater useful life.
"The Motor," a prominent British, au
tomabile authority, comments:
We have always held the Cadillac in the
highest esteem, and admired it as a crite
rion example of high-grade American con
struction. The charm of the dual drive to
the rear exle is compelling and entrancing,
and as one -merely touches the little leaver
at the side and, on depressing and allow
ing the clutch to raise, finds a higher di
rect drive available, wonderment is arous
ed as to the undoubtedly simple manner in
which so great an advantage has been
brought about.
The luxury of driving -a touring car at 20
or 25 miles an honr with a direct drive and
final gear ratio of 2.5 to 1 is quite a new
fascination.
"The Autocar," one , of the leading
motor publications of Great Brit-
tian, has this to say:
When the Cadillac system of combining
ignition, lighting and engine starting in
one electrical system was introduced two
years ago it was very properly regarded as
a bold step and it was certainly the most
interesting innovation which had been
made for a long time, while experience has
shown it to be as successful as it was bold.
Today the Cadillac designers have made
another innovation, which, personally, we
regard as even a greater improvement than
the very important one of two years ago.
After once experiencing the delight of
two direct and noiseless drives one feels
that it is difficult to outline an ideal car
which does not contain this feature, and
we feel safe in asserting that the Cadillac
successful reintroduction of an old idea
will be followed by other makers.
"Horseless Age" says:
It seems at least possible that the two
speed axle may confer upon the four cly
inder car sufficient flexibility and accelera
tivi ability, without recourse to noisy gear
ed speeds, to satisfy the public demand
for these qualities, and, if this should
prove to be the case, the demand for six
cylinder cars, with their somewhat more
costly, more bulky, more complicated and
less economical motors, mignt be materi
ally reduced. It can hardly be doubted
that the advent of the double-direct drive
is one of the most important happenings of
recent years in the automobile industry.

BECKHAM'S LEAD IN HARDIN.
As an evidence of the strength for
mer Governor. Beckham is gaining in
his race for the United States Sen
atorship is shown in newspaper re
ports that are being sent out from all
sections of the State. Since the an
nouncement that he would become a
candidate there has never been more
enthusiasm displayed by his followers
with the result that throughout the
State there seems to be a wave of sup
port sweeping to the former chief ex
ecutive of the State.
Mr. Beckham will open his cam
paign at Elizabethtown on next Mon
day, when it is expected he will so
impress the voters of that county that
here will be no doubt as to the result
of the primary next August. Already
county that he is well off in the lead
and holding a safe position against
Stanley, Smith and McCreary. The
following newspaper disypatch. gives
an idea of his dormant strength.
"A month ago well-posted observers
of the Senatorial situation agreed
that the vote in Hardin county would
be a ight fit between Beckham and
Smih, with Stanley a poor third and
Gov. McCreary nowhere.
"Today there is a different story to
tell. It is Beckham first and running
easy. -If Mr. Smith stays in the race
he will be the second man among
Hardin's 3,000 Democratic voters, but
he will muster at least 400 less of
them than Mr. Beckham.
"The announcement that Gov. Beck
ham was to open his campaign in
Elizabethtown set his friends to talk
ing. While other candidates were on
the stump, Mr. Beckham, until he
made the recent announcement, had
Idone nothing to arouse any enthusi
asm among ms iouowera. iuuaj ms
strength, which has been dormant, is
apparent on every side.
"His old-time followers are still
with him, and he is gathering hun
dreds who were not for him before.
With Mr. Smith out of the way, Mr.
Beckham would have over 2,000 of the
votes in Hardin county. The same
situation is said to exist n all quarters
of the Fourth dstrict, except that Mr.
Smith would be able to make as formi
dable showing in several counies as
he will in Hardin."

THE COLUMBIA THEATRE
TO OPEN SATURDAY
The Columbia Theatre, which has
Tieen closed for several weeks, will be
opened again on Saturday, March 14,
at 2 o'clock. When the people of this
city enter this theatre they wrill be
surprised -at the many improvements
'which, the owners have made on the
Interior. The old floor has been torn
away and replaced with a new one,
which slopes down to the orchestra
pit, and in this way each and every
patron can see the picture on the
screen without the least trouble. A
new Radium Gold Fibre screen has
been placed in this theatre, also a'
piano made especially for moving pic
tare houses, A sesv and one of the
very best moving picture machines,
tke Powers 6 A, has been installed in
the picture booth, which will do away
with much of the flickering and the
jumping of the pictures while in mo
tion. The three iron posts which
were so unsightly -and inconvenient to
patrons of The Columbia have been
removed from the interior. The seat
ing arrangement has been entirely
changed. Broad, safe aisles have
been made; side exits as well as two
front exits; powerful 32 inch exhaust
fans, which change the air every
three minutes; two large windows on
the side and front transoms over
each door, as well as air vents placed
abelow the floor will make The Colum
bia one of the best ventilated and
safest theatres in this section. The
entire room has been redecorated
and changed. Only the very best
grade of pictures will be used in this
"house. Th'e Mutual Film Corporation
has arranged to give The Columbia
a well-balanced program of pictures
each week. Competent and experi
pneed help will be in charge of The
Columbia, and the owners can assure
the public that this theatre will be
conducted in the right way, and will
at all times show only the best grade

GRAND OPERA HOUSE TO OPEN
FOR SEASON MONDAY NIGHT.
What promises to be one of the
events of the theatrical season will
be the opening Monday night of the
Grand Opera House in this city un
der the management of the Colonial
Amusement Company, which recently
closed a deal for the lease of the
theatre.
On the occasion of the opening of
the Grand, the company will present
some of the best motion pictures and
in addition to this there will be the
added attraction Greggs' ten-piece
orchestra.
The Gregg orchestra will be remem
bered as having been one of the at
tractions at the Alamo Theatre sev
eral months ago and is engaged at
the Colonial Theatre in Lexington. It
is the purpose of the management of
the Grand to have this orchestra in
Paris every Monday night during the
summer as one of the features of the
bill that will be offered during the
spring and summer.
During the past two weeks the
opera house has undergone a thorougb.
renovation and lias been made very
attractive throughout. Beginning
with Monday night three reels of high
class motion pictures of the same ser
vice that is being used at the Alamo
and in the other theatres controlled
by the Colonial Amusement Company
in Central Kentucky will be present
ed. Once a week a feature picture
will be presented. The prices will be
ten cents for adults and five cents for
children in either the lower floor or
balcony and fivec ents in the gallery.
A dispatch from Washington, Tues
day, said:
"Uuless specifically directed by
President Wilson, the War Depart
ment will not reopen the case of Jas.
W. McClure, of Paris, Ky., who was
excluded from appointment as a ca
det at the West Point Military Acad
emy, thereby leading his father to pre
fer charges against Major General
Thomas H. Barry, former Superinten
dent, and Major Fred W. Slayden,
comandant of the cadets, of making
false official statements in the mat
ter. "Ex-Senator Paynter, who had in
terested himself in the case, has been
informed by the War Department
that the academic board reported
that McClure had resigned his cadet
ship to escape trial, which fact had
been regarded sufficient to warrant
the disapproval of his application
for a new appointment.
"The case was presented to Sec
retary of War Garrison by James Mc
Clure, cashier of the First National
Bank at Paris, Ky., who alleged his
son was refused admittance to the
academy."

EFFECT OF NEW INSURANCE
LAW IS BEING WATCHED
The effect of the new insurance law
passed by the present Legislature
and which has been signed by Gevor
nor McCreary, is being watched with
a great deal of interest in Paris.
'Many local bankers and financiers
are regarding with alarm the wih
drawal from the State of a large num
ber of the largest fire insurance com
panies, and through the new law thy
view serious complications in. regard
to loans, especially those made by fze
banks of the city on real estate and
personalty.
There are in this city fifteen in
surance agencies representing practi
cally every company doing business
in the State and every one of them
haver eceived notices to suspend busi
ness, and not accept any more risks.
Only a few of the companies are now
doing business.
It is said the new insurance rating
bill will have the effect of inrparing
the credit of financial institutions, as
it is impossible for them to make
loans upon property that cannot be
secured by insurance. This will work
a serious hardship on the number of
home builders and others .who have
secured loans on stocks of goods.
Local insurance men are of the
opinion that the suspension is only
temporary and when the effects of the
withdrawal of the insurance compa
nies is felt in the fulest extent, there
will be some action an the part of the
.State officials to allow the insurance
companies to resume business .
