gress due to close its doors at 4 o’clock
this afternoon, early today senators and

different hotels throughout the city and
the noise of the slamming of trunk lids
was heard from Capitol Hill to George,
town.
Not to he outdone hy members of
congress. President Taft laid his plans
to leave the city on the 5:05 train for
Beverly, Mass, the summer white
house.
He will be accompanied by the larg
est clerical force Beverly has ever seen,
the present situation demanding extra
helpers during the summer. Secretary
Carmi Thompson and Assistant Secre
taries Rudolph Forster and Thomas
Brahany will accompany the president,
In addition to a small army of minor
clerks, secret service men. reportersand
others The president will remain 1n

•when he will leave for Columbus, Ohio,
to attend the centennial celebration
there on Thursday. He is due back
here on September 4 to attend the
opening session of the fifteenth In
ternational Congress of Hygiene and
Dermatology.
Cabinet Heads Go, Too.
Following the example of their chief,
the cabinet officers will lose little time
In leaving Pennsylvania avenue. Sec
retary Knox is already en route to Ja
pan; Secretary Fisher leaves for
■Hawaii tonight; Marlon. Mass., will see
Secretary Nagel tomorrow; Secretary
of the Navy Meyer already has his lug
gage packed to return to Hamilton,
Mass.; the attorney general has hark
ened to the call of his summer place on
Long Island, as has slao Secretary
Stimson. Postmaster General Hitch
cock will spend at least a portion of his
summer on Broadway, while Secretary

the farm" at Treanor, lowa, and Secre

Bureau Heads Behind.
The official work of the departments
such as can not possibly be dispensed
with, will be carried on under the su
pervision of the chief clerks and heads
of bureaus who were unfortunate
enough not to file their applications for
eave In time.
This session of congress ha* been the
•talkiest" In the history of the govern
ment. The completed Congressional
Record of the session will number ap
proximately 13.000 pages, or 2fi.00n.000
words. It is the longest record of them
all.
No statement Is vet available as tn
the amount of money appropriated b\
the first regular session of the sixty
second congress, but a careful estimate
shows that this still is a blllion-dollar
country. Despite the attempts of the
Democrats to economize. It is apparent
that the billion mark has been reached
Probably It has been overtopped
Appropriations of Billion.
The appropriations of the last session
of the sixty-first congress were $1,028,-
nnn.ooo In round figures. Democrats on
the appropriations committee, after a
hurried perusal of the appropriation
budgets as they wore whipped into
shape, believe they will beat this rec
ord perhaps by $25,000,000.
Much of the work of the session has
been devoted to the consideration of
the tariff bills and the annual appro
priation measures. The fact that the
house was Democratic and the senat<
add president Republican has brought
numerous deadlocks, both on tariff and
appropriation legislation, and when the
end of the fiscal year came on June 3<l
It found the larger budgets still pending
either in the senate or house, or in con
ference
President Taft twice vetoed the leg
islative appropriation bill and once dis
approved the army bill The redraft
ing of these requited time and occa
sioned some hard feeling The Demo
cratic house passed six bills to revise
the tariff. Not one of them became a

and many months' labor comes to

The tariff bills passed by the house
Include those revising the wool. cotton,
steel and sugar schedules and a com

II FLANDERS I
I I I
II If You are Paying More than SI2OO 11
II for a Car,You are Entitled to a Six ||
THIS, REDUCED TO A FEW WORDS, is the keynote to the 1913
announcement of the Flanders Motor Company which will appear in
this and other daily papers of every prominent city in the United
State* about September fifteenth.
TO TELL YOU MORE at this time would be to tell our competitors—
and that we do not desire to do, for we have a surpriL in store for
them as well as for you,
THIS MUCH WE WILL SAY, however - Sixes exclusively will be the
Flanders slogan from now on. The perfection of the electric self
starting device has made the Six in any size and at any price the
M logical, the ultimate—the inevitable car.
WE'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS since its birth- —watched every
change— led the way in most of them. And since a man can't have
two religions and worship sincerely at both shrines, we pin our faith
MM the future to Sixes —exclusively Sixes.
AND WHILE WE WON’T PROMISE to give you a Six at exactly the
figure mentioned —because the Flanders Six must be a complete and
an up-to-the-minute Six in every last detail—we will give you one at
a price so little above that figure it will be within your reach if you
KS IO caw afford a car of more than 35 horsepower at all.
NO! NOf —YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN. Don’t jump to conclusions.
That isn’t the price nor the horsepower. Guess again. But you won’t
get any nearer to it than our esteemed competitors—who always wait
JI for us to show the way and then try to get on the band wagon —can
guess what this Flanders organization has up its sleeve this time.
IF IT WILL INDICATE ANYTHING to you we will say there will
be two Flanders Sixes. One of these will be a five passenger model
of such size, power and quality and at such a price you’d be foolish
“i to buy a four at any price.
IT’S HARD ENOUGH TO SELL FOURS NOW for everybody sees
the writing on the wall. It will be a lot harder to sell your second
hand Four a year from now —when you will certainly want to sell it
and buy a Six.
EVERY MAKER KNOWS Fours are now obsolete and Sixes inevitable.
But the others can’t afford to admit that fact until they have cleared
their floors of Fours and changed over their designs and equipment to
make Sixes. They must all come to it —we are as usual a year ahead.
SO THIS AD IS JUST TO WARN YOU. After reading it you will
have only yourself to blame if you buy an obsolete Four and pay a
price for it that entitles you to a better car and a Six.
FOR WE PROMISE YOU the immediate future has such a car in
store for you- a S»x of the quality you expect from Flanders and
backed by the name and guarantee of Flanders.
' YOU KNOW THE MEN back of this product Everitt, Metzger and
Flanders; Kelly. Paul Smith. Pelleiier the same group of men who
four years ago revolutionized an industry and set a pace in prices and
L■. iry quality that others are following yet and haven’t caught up; the men
H <H| who made E M F "30" the greatest car of its time.
g THESE MEN, NOW HAPPILY RE UNITED and supplemented by
specialists of equal skill and experience Fred Hawes, for ten years

entire trade to be the greatest body designer—"the tastiest milliner

MONTENEGRINS AND
TURKS NEAR CLASH;
PREPARED FOR WAR
VIENNA. Aug. 24. —War between
Montenegro and Turkey is Inevitable
unless the other powers intervene, ac
cording to a dispatch from Cettinje, re
ceived here today. This message said
King Nicholas, yielding to popular
clamor, has signed a decree mobilizing
the Montenegrin army. Fighting be
tween Montenegrin soldiers and Turk
ish gendarmes along the frontier has
been continuous for several weeks. It
is expected formal declaration of hos
tilities will be made now.
The message also says Austria has
sent troops to occupy the commune of
Novibazar. There previously was an
Austrian garrison in the town of No
vibazar, the capital of the commune, a
town of 12.000.
BANDIT SHOT BY HIS
OWN GUN CONFESSES
$1,400 TRAIN ROBBERY
TOPEKA. KANS., Aug 24.—The
young man who robbed the mail car on.
the Union Pacific train out of Kansas
Pity early Friday and was shot with
his own pistol after he hid in a Pull
man berth on the train, today gave his
name as Wells Lounsberry, of Medford.
Oreg., and confessed he had held up
several trains. He said he had nevei
been caught before. His best haul, he
said, was $1,400 taken from a mail ear
on the Southern Pacific train near Red
Bluff. < 'al.
At the hospital it was said today that
the man would recover.
MRS. ROBERT GOELET
DYING FROM CANCER;
SON CALLED TO PARIS
PARIS, Aug. 24.—Mrs. Robert Goelet.
the wealthy American who Is supposed
to be dying from malignant cancer, ar
rived here today from Havre under the
care of physicians and nurses. She was
met by her son, Robert Goelet, Jr., who
had just arrived from New York, call
ed by the serious condition of his
mother. A report from Havre stated
that the private million-dollar yacht
Namaha, upon which Mrs. Goelet has
been cruising, was put into dry dock
in the basin there, apparently for a
long period. .
Mrs. Goelet has already undergone
three operations for cancer, the disease
which caused the death of her hus
band.
THESE AND THE HOST OF EXPERTS—topnotchers all- who con
stitute the Flanders organization, have contributed to make the K
forthcoming Flanders Sixes incomparable in all those points dear to K
the hearts of fastidious motorists and satisfying to the eye and the
' standards of experts.
WE SUBMIT that, if these men do not know how to make and to
market automobiles and to take care of their customers afterward,
then no group of men does know. If history doesn’t repeat itself LS
in this case then skill counts for naught, experience is a waste of time,
there is no strength in unity, and business is not an exact science.
BUT BUSINESS IS AN EXACT SCIENCE —experience m an
accurate guide—skill is an asset —the united skill and experience of
experts must produce superiority—and history unit repeat itself, for
the Flanders policy and the Flanders product for the coming year will
work a revolution in the automobile industry as great as did the
appearance of E-M-F "30" four years ago and of the beautiful Flanders
Electric more recently.
THESE MEN, HEADED BY FLANDERS, have led so long they have
forgotten how to follow —if indeed they ever knew. Their record
is a series of successes. Failure has turned to success under their
magic touch. Their reputation is world-wide and their friends are
legion—and they are found wherever automobiles are found. For
every car they have ever made has made a friend.
WE ARE NATURALLY EAGER to tell you all now —but we refrain
for the reasons given. We refrain save to say there’ll be two models gp S;
of Flanders Sixes. One a luxurious seven-passenger car of high
power, exquisite body design and complete equipment of the highest
order and to the last degree of faddishness as well as of utility, and to
sell at a price that will make it impossible for you to excuse yourself |M ■
for paying a higher price for any car on earth. Ls K
READ THAT LAST PARAGRAPH AGAIN. It’s a trifle involved
and there’s more in it than appears on the surface.
THE OTHER FLANDERS SIX will be a five-passenger car, an exact
duplicate in every detail of design and finish and equipment—but
smaller of course —and will sell at a price that justifies our headline.
THAT'S ALL FOR THE PRESENT. Surmise all you will. Piece the
fragments together. Let your imagination have full sway. You know
Flanders and the Flanders organization—try to forecast what they will
produce. Try to anticipate the most you can hope so then you |S
will still be far short of the splendid reality. That, in full detail, will
be announced about September fifteenth.
WATCH FOR IT—HERE. And if vou desire to lead instead of follow B I
if you want a car of the future and not of the past—wait for it.
DEALERS—THIS FOR YOU
The Flanders Motor Company will make six thousand Sixes for 1913. That
sounds a trifle modest for us. but remember these are big, luxurious cars
and this number makes the Flanders Motor Company the largest producer
of Sixes in the world. Deliveries will commence immediately after the an
nouncement. Quality, reputation and price guarantees there'll be no
competition. Live dealers everywhere have anticipated thia, so we have
thousands of applications on file already. Being able to pick and choose,
we are carefully aelecting the best. We want dealers who will properly re
present us and our product locally. And we are selecting those we think
will go farthest with us. For we are building for permanency and for the
benefit of all, customers included. ffis ? <
