Misbranding Goods.
From the Dayton News.


Now that We are making pretty good
Roadway with a pure food law, and have
reduced to a minimum the practice Of
misbranding goods when these goods are
edible, there is a good deal of talk about
passing another law touching upon tie
subject, this time to include the mis-
branding of all commodities whether they
are edible or wearable only. The pure
food law was passed in the interest OF
in the interest of honesty If 1t is wrong
to msbrand a package of sausage it Is
wrong to misbrand a piece of jewefry or
a bolt of goods. If one has right to
know what a can contains he ought also

AS a general proposition. people are not

purposes. in fact. cotton Is superior to
either linen or wooden, although the pur-

CADILLAC DEALERS HOLD
CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO
Over One Hundred Gather
During Auto Show and
Exchange Ideas.

Believing that nothing is productive
of so much good as educational work
with both the buyers Of automobiles;
and the men who sell them, the Cadillac
Motor Car Company gathered its deal
ers together during the recent Chicago
automobile show for IL general confer
ence. The meeting lasted two days.
during which time the dealers exchanged
ideas among themselves and with the
heads of the factory departments and
listened to illustrated talks by the fac
tory executives on design, engineering,
construction, selling and advertising.
More than one hundred Cadillac deal
ers were present, representing prac-
tically all sections of the United States

Kinds AUTO COMPANY
MAKES INITIAL BOW
In Lion and Schacht Cars
New Concern Is Most
Fortunate.

The Kinds Auto Company. composed of
William and George B. Kinds, quite re-
Gently opened permanent quarters at the
northeast corner of 14th and S streets
northwest, and is handling the Lion and
the Schacht cars, one each of which
make will be on view at the show.
The Lion caar has been on the market
only four years and is product OF
big plant at Adrian. Mich. while the
Schacht, which for a decade has been
well and favorably known throughout
the west, is manufactured in Cincinnati.
To show that the Lion car, which comes
in these types, roadster. five-passenger
two-door touring, four-passenger semi
tonneau and the passenger fore
door touring, is Of pronounced excellence
Mr.. Kinds explained that on his visit to
the New York show he saw the agent for
New England contract for 400 Lions
for the present year. This despite the
fact that this monarch of automobile
wilds is only a cub of four years. The
agent from Lancaster, Pa, visited Ne"
York to obtain forty cars for early deliv-
cry, saying he could not supply the de-
mand in his limited district
The slogan of the Lion Is TT Runs
Like Sixty" The 10th street hill is mere
joke for the Lion to surmonth on the
high gear. Mr.. Kinds recently took five
grown persons up the hill in his fore
door touring machine at the rate of
twelve miles an hour on the high gear
without rushing. This is regarded as a
convincing test of hill-clmbing powers.
Fruit of Decades Experience.
The fruit of ten years experience is
shown in the Schacht car, which, it's dis
tributers are not afraid to say. is as good
as a government bond:' The, five-pas-
senger touring Schacht is quoted at $1.3So.
A four-cyclinder delivery car at the same
price has normal capacity of 1.5OO
pounds. The Schacht roadster's price is
81 .335. The fve-passenger touring machine
of this make will be delivered to any
purchaser in Washington or Alexandria
free of freight and fully equipped with
top. wind shield, speedometer. prestolite
tank, searchlights and other regular
equipment for $1,65O.
The prices of the Lion make are:
Fore-door touring, $1,000: five-passenger
two-door touring, $1,000; four-passenger,
demi-tonneau, 81. 415. and roadster. 81, $50.

APACHE TAVERN GOING"
Paris Authorities to Demolish AN
gel Gabriel to Widen Street.

Paris Correspondent. London Telegraph.
The Angel Gabriel is to be bought I'D
by the city of Paris for the purpose OF
widening a street. Only those familiar
with Paris nights will understand what
this means. Toward am, the witching
hour at which all Latin Quarter cafes,
oars and restaurants must close, students
cried to ingenious foreigners to whom
they were showing life: Now to the
Halles.' The procession to the Halles
might land at Baratte's, at the "Smok-
ing Dog" at the Angel Gabriel or at
one or two other places with wonderful
names. Now no more "noctambules'
will go.
1t was a bar like any other bar TO look
at. Round the central markets wine shops
keep open all night for the convenience
of marketmen who after a drive in the
cold rain of four and five hours from
their kitchen gardens in the suburbs,
reach the Halles at / or in the morn
ing. Those who 'noctambulate' Just he
cause they like ii soon found that the
market gardens wine shops We're quite
proper places for keeping the night gay.
Just as some rare and reprehensibe Lon
don revelers have been known to go to
Covent Garden when everything else was
shut up.
