PEERLESS IN NAME,
PEERLESS AS MACHINE
Perfection of Auto Production Made
In the New Series of 1910, with
ScaeceIy PerceptibIe Change

There is something about the Peerless
car that suggests all that the name OIL
the ear implies. It's silence in motion,
the ease with which the car is handled
and the perfection of its every detail
give the Peerless a pre-eminence that
has made it a fayorite with purchasers
who delight in having the best OIL eV-
erything there is on the market.
That the knowledge possessed by its
maker from the first was based upon
all the experiences of the past, added
to which the improvements suggested
bv keen observation, show that perfec-
ton, as nearly as can be OBTAINED III

This is manifested in the very few
almost undiscernible-chang thai
have occurred in the production of the
Peerless since the year 1906. In tact
no material changes have been maze
at all, those occurring being manly
lines and refinements suggested by
possibly taste rather than anything
else. -.
The new series of cars for the com
ing season would seem TO justly Ill eiie
claims of the company that pre-eml-
nence in automobile production mas
been attained in the Peerless.

representatives of the Peerless in can

allotment of cars increased TO ninety

YOUNG MAN HAS TALENT

In the advertisement of Chanslor &
Lyon in this issue of The Herald the
cartoon was made by Fred Gordon, a
youth of IA years of age, brother of
Stanley Clemens, salesman for Chanslor
& Lyon.
Young Gordon has developed talent
for cartoon pictures that would COM
pare favorably with many older heads
The ideas incorporated in the picture
alluded to was his own conception, the
merit of which will be appreciated in
the look of satisfaction on the face OF
the demon pumping Harris oil into the
machine on the footboard of the car.

Franklin H. Head Replies to Critics Who

Several Weeks Ago.
(By Franklin Fl. Heald.)

viduals, viz, Augusta Forrer and Joseph
Lebolo-Carey, of Mena House, ,, Sand

Materiaistic ideas of the sixth sense, and
after some seven columns of quotations and
objections, ask me to tell them some more
about the sixth sense.
This l would be glad to do but there is
little more to tell I will. however. explain
that these critics have begged the question
by continually harping on the title which
the Blade IS editor correctly gave my arti-
Gle, "The Sixth Sense Fallacy:" and init
mate that I proclaim in the title of the
article, that there is no physic sense and
then go on and prove there is.
To begin with, let me state that think
and write in the American language; and
Webster's Unabridged, gives "fallacy" as
meaning, 81. Deceptive or false appear

"did Marshall Field steal it and showed
what he stole. I am accused of "abuse

Hausman to accuse me of forcing him into
unlimited contradiction and exhibition of
ignorance. Robert Ingersoll told the Edi-
tor of the New York Observer that "open
confession is good for the SOUL" I ad-
mire the phrase Let us hope that Mr..
Hausman will take it to heart and become
sentimental just long enough to feel the

In the last paragraph of his reply to Dr.
Barnes, he says he could not find the name

Henry George is known throughout the
world. Though a private citizen he was
reverently accorded a public burial. Mil

published. Yet Mr. Hausman must now

and what he stood for and this, from one
who essays to write on the profound sub

being no barrier to free employment, it is
evident that wages must rise and ulti-

Mr.. Hausman very bindly AYERS that the

is untrue. Outside of use, the reason for
the monopoly of land is the advantage it

therefore an impedient to progress" II is
of course, in the short space at ones dis
