SOUTHERN COLD WAVE KILLS 17 ATLANTA, Jan. 7.—Death laid a heavy hand on the southland as a result of the cold wave, which has swept over this section for three days.

Eighteen died in Chicago, five in St. Louis, and single deaths were reported from St. Paul, Denver, Ullin, Ill., and Henryetta, Okla.

YEN EXCHANGE OFF TOKIO, Jan. 7.—Yen exchange reached the lowest figure in a long period today, when telegraphic transfers sold at 45c. The yen droppage has been feared ever since the earthquake, and it is apparently impossible to uncover the factors responsible for the drop, except the extremely troubled political situation. That the banks fear a further drop which will mean a financial upheaval of no small proportions was indicated today, when one institution bitherto selling unlimited gold dollars refused future sales above very limited amounts. The normal rate of exchange on yen is 50e. A Striking Value—at $295 Considering the improved appearance of the new Ford Touring Car, one would naturally expect a proportionate advance in price. Larger scale production, however, has made it possible to incorporate in this new type touring car a number of decided improvements without increase in its cost to the purchaser. A comparison extending over a long period of years will reveal the fact that the present price is actually the lowest at which the five-passenger open car has ever been sold. The Ford Touring Car stands today, as it always has, a most remarkable value in the motor car field. SID McGRAW 320 N.
