Important among the early fill
nouncements of all-season motor cars
is that introducing the Lex-Sedan, an
exclusive inclosed model designed
and built by the Lexington .Nlotor
Company, of Connersville, Ind.
This new car is described as a de-
cided innovation in closed car design.
Its chief claim to distinction is that
it has the appearance of being built
in "one piece," or as a single unit.
For the first time, it is said, the body
has been built for the top, reversing
the former method of building the top
to fit the body. As a result the de-
signers have obtained in this car a
harmonious effect not found in the
prevalent types—an effect which
marks it as a work of coach-building
art.
The Lex-Sedan is of the new four-
door type. The sides of the body are
unusually high and the doors are all
of full width. The six side windows
are of equal size and are square in
shape to conform to the straightline
effect of the doors. The glass in
these windows can lie lowered or
raised or entirely removed as the
weather dictates or the occupants
will.
\Vith the four wide doors, access
to the interior of the car is mire-
tarded. The car will seat comfort-
ably, with the aid of auxiliary seats,
seven passengers.
The model is completely equipped
with those accessory features which
add to the comfort and artistic ap-
hiciirance of a car. The coach work,
furnishings and color combinations
are as distinctive as the car itself.
Three cutlers are optional—blue, ma-
roon and Brewster green, with Span-
ish leather and velour to match.
The Lex-Sedan is regarded as a
most creditable addition to the Lex-
ington line, Which already is quite
extensive.

Jews In Yekatarinoslay
Wiped Out By Denekine
According to a special cable to the
Day from its London correspondent.
the Jewish population of the towns
in the neighborhood of •ekatari-
noslay, Russia, has been consider-
ably lessened through pogroms.
General Denkine, in charge of the
troops in that vicinity, is said to have
r.rdered or sanctioned these pogroms.
Dispatches further say that the few
emaining Jews are being harried by
robber bands and parties that are
bostile to the established govern-
ment.
General Pugliese, of the Italian
army, has been appointed officer of
the Military Order of Savoy. He
greatly distinguished himself in the
late war, and in two years rose from
the rank of captain to that of major-
general.
