The article of Shannon G. Lees, of
the Jones Motor Car Company, on the
selection of cars by the prospective
purchaser. published in the Nirginian
last Monday, has attracted considera-
bic attention. 1t Is being widely
copied.
Mr.. w. +. Glinn. of Mcveigh &
Glinn. prominent in real estate CIR
cles here has just purchased one OF
the new Stearns- knight five-passenger
touring cars from Mr.. b. A. Blenner,
representative of the Stearns Company
| in Virginia. This car is finished in
dark maroon. with black upholstery
and trimmings. and Is equipped with
silk mohair top, Banker wind shield.
Warner speedometer. trunk rack, kiax-
on horn. demountable rims and an
electric lighting plant. Mr.. Glinn says
| he Investigated all the makes rep

advised by u number of friends and
acquaintances to buy a cheap car, but
after inquiring around among some
| of the best business men he found
] tnaI Ife majority OF those VINO puT-
chased cheap cars in the beginning had
disposed of them for what they could
get. and now owned the best cars
Mr.. Glinn says he figured that a
man should buy a car for the future
and figure the cost by the year: that
cars that seem to be cheaper are no,
! nearly 50 cheap in the long run.
After thoroughly looking into the
/ merits of the new Stearns-Knight

reputation the Steafrs company hac

from my own experience In touring,
would say that no automobile OF ave

The amount would probably be much

CAT THAT SPEAKS
is PROUD BOAST OF
HAMBURG WOMAN

LONDON. June 26.-According to the
Dresdner Nachrichten, a Hamburg
woman owns cat that talks. 1t is
further stated that the animal is at
tracing considerable attention in sci
entifc circles and that experts from
the ZOO are about to test its linguistic
gifts.
Some time ago the cats mistress was
very much surprised, so the story goes
when, instead of the expected meow
which answers a call. the cat distinctly
pronounced the word "nein." This was
wonderful enough, but what is Still
more so is that the cat was taught
other simple words, which it learned
quickly "Milch" (milk), Anna" (this
being the name of its mistress), and
others were soon used easily by the
cat.
When 1t refused to say the word 1t
was asked to utter it was left in room
and deprived of food. This never failed
and the cat pronounced the word re-
quired.
