AN OUNCE OF TAFFY

An ounce of taffy, says homely
proverb, is worth a ton of epitaphy.
And never was there written a prov
erb so true. If we could only get it
into our heads and on our lips that
the time for the saying of pleasant
words is while our friends are alive to
hear them! Appreciation and length
of days are SO closely related. Men
and women live longer because of the
uplift, and courage and strength which

In the new Cadillac axle we have
two direct-drive gear ratios. The low
direct drive gear, which is $3.50 to i,
is especially adapted for city driving,
where starting, stopping and slowing
down are frequent and where cautious
operation is necessary.
The high direct drive gear ratio,
which il 20 to 4, is of special advan-
tage where speeds of about is miles
or more per hour are permissible and
desirable
The change from one gear to the
other is made BY simple, convenient
electric switch.
The advantages Of the high direct
drive gear ratio lie primarily in the
fact that with it, any speed Of the en-
CINE produces an increase Of about az
per cent in the speed Of the car. For
example: at an engine speed of TOO
revolutions per minute, with the low
direct gear engaged, the car will trav-
Ell approximately Fl miles per hour;
while on the high direct gear it will
travel approximately 30 miles per
hour with no increase In engine speed

Al4L-STARs DEFEATED
BY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM.

The second post-season game be-
tween the all-stars and high school
resulted Tuesday evening in a deei-
sive victory for the school aggrega-
tions the score ending in their favor
2S-20. From the first toss-up the
high school lads were the fayorites
for the victory, showing such ginger
in pulling on their well-deyeloped
plays that for the moment the all
stars were swept on their feet. and
had several points marked against
them. However. the high school
boys were weak at converting their
plays into the points they should
have had, and the veterans had soon
pulled up to within striking distance
by speedily worked plays and accur-
ate basket throwing. Trimble. the
gigantic all-star center so far over
topped his opponent that he was
practically sure OF the toss, but the
speed and ingenuity of the younger
basket tossers made this work into
their plan of campaign. and by pref
ty team work took the ball under
their own basket. This offensive
work on the part of the high school
quintet Is their strongest depart
ment, although II Isl very hard to
break their defense in making bas-
kets, Bixby and Teel showing up
at their best in this fast. hard play
ing. Faubion and Smith had all they
could do taking care OF each other,
although Smith broke away long
enough TO add several points 10 the
high school score. Douglas, the all
star speed marvel seemed to be ey-
cry where al once and nipped many
plays and attempts almost before his
opponents realized what they were
doing, and made some very pretty
plays The contest was fast and hard
from start TO finish and at times re-
sembled a free for all rather than
game, but all that added TO the en-
joyment OF the spectators, who GER
;ainly were well paid for attending
last night. The gym. was very well
filled but still larger crowd lis ex.
pected for the third and decidine
game which will probably be played
early next week.
The high school line-up was.
Smith, .StiDebaugh, forwards; Gale
Hamilton, Bixby, guards; Teel, cen.

bined Christian and Baptist juniors

winning by score of 1912.
