This article focuses on political and social developments in the U.S. The New York Automobile Show has confirmed the most striking recent development in the automobile industry: the touring car passes. None of the old-fashioned type were on exhibition. Where there were such they were usually sport models or touring cars elaborately dressed up with wind-shield for the back seat after the manner of the French open ear. By a vote of 1,099 to 701 the men students of Ohio State University have declared in favor of the abolition of compulsory military training. By a majority, however, they voted that optional military training had a legitimate place in the curriculum and that they themselves had received some benefit from drill.
