NOTES OF THE AUTO
Cars which are practically noiseless
in operation have become common
enough not to attract the attention they
did a few seasons ago.
Indeed, machine which is unusual
at the present time, no matter what
its merits may be-" says A. +. Smith,
agent for the Elmore cars.
While uniformity of workmanship
and adjustment of parts are responsible
for much of the reduction of noise
proper, especially is this the case with
the Elmore, which has less moving
parts than any other car.
Among recent improvements in the
design of small four cylinder cars per-
hapS one of the most important is the
general decrease in fuel consumption" Z"
states A. E. Hunter of Osen & Hunter
auto company, agent for the Mitchell
'eThe small car of the present day
is far more economical than that of
a few seasons ago.
At the present time there are some
makes of small cars which average
not far from % miles per gallon of
gasoline in the hands of the average
user. While the economy records es-
tabliShed In fuel consumption contests
have been far better than this for some
years past, the performance of the cars
in the hands of the average owner has
not been at all comparable with their
possibilities, and recent advances have
been along the lines of improving the
average rather than the best economy.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Get at the Root Of Things.

The famous splitting bill has passed
both houses Of the Legislature. but was
amended in the house, so that 1t mac
to be considered again by the senate
The bill provides that:
mo person shall spit on the side
walk, crossing, or footway of any pub

Why does the Legislature do these
funny stunts by piecemeal2 The
proper thing to do is to adopt the book
of etiquette and the rules Of refined
behavior, as a whole, and be done with
it. But better than all would be to
declare colds and catarrh illegal and

need of an anticipating law. our Leg

is rarely equalled. This picture covers
an entire reel, and is a very interesting
one.
Much interest is displayed every

shown, and its tremendous dramatic
climax is a fitting close for this big
picture, while The Hindoo Dagger. an
Oriental tragedy, is a splendid photo
graphic reproduction of very perfect

the magnificent scenic picture, The

sents a trip on the canal, covering the

TWO FAULTS COULD BE CURED
Prospective Husband and Wife Both
Full of Confidence.

An Irish boy marries when he has a
rid house, and an Irish girl just when
she pleases, says Seumas MacManus,
IN Lippincotts. Sometimes she so
pleases while yet her years are few; at
other times she is content to wait
upon wisdom. In the latter case, of
course, she makes a wise choice; but
in the former almost always a lucky
one-for luck is the guardian angel
of the Irish.
You're too young to marry yet.
Mary" the mother said, when Mary
pleaded that she should grant
Laurence O'Mahony a particular boon.
II you only have patience, mother,
I'll cure meself of that fault" was
Mary's reply.
"And she's never been used to work.
Laurence" the mother said to the
sutton, discouragingly.
IF you only have patience, ma'am, "
was Laurence's reply to this, "I'll cure
her of that fault" And he did, too.
