The Regal go" Five-Passenger4T Touring Car

OVER 10000 MEN-shrewd business men
have made this particular investment. Men
in VARYING walks of life whose incomes
probably range from $1800per annum up;
but men who know the value of money
because they had to earn it before they
invested the $1,000 which bought them
their Regal 't30.''
MANY OF THESE MEN could well afford
to pay whole lot more than $1,000 for an
automobile but the fact that they didn't
and the reasons why they didn't-if we
could 60 to each one and ask him, would
give us lot of valuable information and
open our eyes to motor car values.
COMMON BUSINESS SENSE, however, tells
US that steel is steel, brass is brass, rubbei
is rubber and that the difference in price
between this car and that car cannot
be found in the absolute and necessary
essentials of the car. The chasses of all
automobiles are pretty well standardized.
No car could long be sold that did not
meet the modern requirements Of service
and reliability which are built into every
good automobile.
OUR POLICY has always been to let man
do his own reasoning and thinking
to find out for himself the why and
Wherefore of this difference in price
in the face of uniformity in values. We
have succeeded in getting pretty large
share of the country's automobile busi-
ness for the simple reason that the cars we
have built have been built for Regal

Dealers Expect Rise
In Butter and Eggs

That the drop in prices on butter and
eggs in the wholesale market this
week, does not signify that they are to
remain down, is the general opinion of
commission dealers. Both butter and
egg prices are largely contingent on the
weather and two of the worst months
of the year are yet to be passed.
The Florida season is now on with a
vim and early srring vegetables are
coming in regularly.
Poultry shows no change except a
drop of cent on hens. Tangerine
oranges are of poor quality and their
season soon will be at an end. Other
varieties of oranges are good and will
hold out for some time.
Pork is slightly lower at wholesale,
but the change is not sufficient to af-
feet retail prices.

GAME Of CRAYONS
HELP TO CHILDREN
Mothers Will Find That
Much Can Be Accom-
plished.
By MARGARET LOUISE WALLACE.
.HE mother who is giving her

THE mother who is giving her
babies their first notions of color
/ will find the small box of crayons
great help-almost necessity.
They are very much easier to use than
water colors, and she will have much
less trouble in keeping the children's s
efforts neat. She had best choose a
red, blue. and yellow crayon, selecting
those which are the purest and bright
est in tint, and put the rest away for
the time when more elaborate coloring
is desirable.
After the children have been shown
how to use the crayons with smoothness
and economy (oh! how they will smear
themselves, the paper and the table,
and crumble the crayons, at firstD,
show them how to make little squares
and corcles for themselves, by running
their pencil around a block or spool.
and teach them to make the three Sec
ondary colors-green, orange, and pur-
pie. The mother will find IL a good plan
to experiment a little herself before she
shows the crayons to the children, so
as to discover for herself and be ready
to suggest to them, the best methods
of producing the results. For instance,
with certain crayons you must put the
blue over the yellow to make a good
green, and with others reverse the proc
ess, as one or the other is stronger.
Let the children experiment themselves.
but be ready to show them how when
they ask.
A good plan, If you want to be sure
that your colors Will be pure and clear,
is to go to an art store, and buy some
pastel sticks, which may sometimes be
bought with paper covers. like the
crayons, and are usually much better
in color. But the cheaper ones will do
quite as well If you are careful in your
selection.
Mother says Ned, after they have
played while, Il have made green and
orange and purple. and now put green
on top of the purple, and II don't make
anything at all, just dirt color"
well, then, 1 wouldn't do it again"
says mother, serenely.
I'm going TO try green and orange;
cries Bess. "Oh, it only makes an ugly
brown-y color"
See how prettily you can make the
squares, Bess, and when you can do it
very nicely, we will pin 1t up on the
wall for father to see."
Let the little ones experiment all they
like, and play with the Crayons all they
wish. If they begin. as they will some
times, to make marks on anything but
the paper, put the crayOns away at
once, and do not bring them out until
you want the lessons to begin again.
If they want to draw any little object
encourage them to do II as nicely az
they can, and, If possible, show them
how to better II, but the little objects
must be of the very simplest nature, as
any serious drawing had far better be
eft until later. when the little hands |
have been longer trained In handling
the objects which he will use in the
plays, and the idea of
form is better established in his mind.

Little Bedtime Tales
THE NEW BABY.
By Edith Havens

PILLY and Lillian were in a terrible
- state of mind. They were jealous
just as jealous as they could be-and
for no other reason than because
mamma had told them that morning
that a little baby brother or sister
might come to live with them.
'When?~ the two children had asked
simultaneously, and Mrs. Kenny had
answered that the little newcomer
might arrive any moment during the
next few days.
Billy and Lillian sat looking at each
other with very serious faces.
81 don't want anyone to come" said
14llian GROSSLY.
"Nor l." echoed Billy. Isn't there
some way we could stop this new baby
Coming"
"Oh. I wish we could" said Lillian,
thoughtfully.
The nurse, passing through the room,
paused a moment.
What are you two 1ttle people talk
ing about?" she asked.
Nothing" answered Billy, half
ashamed. The nurse passed through
the door.
N"Tll tell you," said Lillian, after the
nurse had disappeared, this baby, in

or by the way of the back door. We
can watch those places, and if we see
him coming we will tell him it is the
wrong house"
But supposing it should come in
through the Window" suggested Billy,
thoughtfully.
I'VE will lock the windows" an
swered Lillian promptly.
With that, both little people got
busy, and while Lillian rushed about up
stairs, locking all the windows, Billy
attended to that duty on the floor be-
low. Then they met in the parlor
Il will sit just inside the hall at the
front door, and you watch the back
door, whispered Billy. Then they
separated.
1t was a long watch, indeed. all that
afternoon, and they We're very glad
when darkness came. They had figured
II out that a baby could not possibly
come in the dark.
II was a beautiful sunshiny day on
the morrow, and still the baby had not
come. Quietly they took their re-
