Selling Yourself An Automobile

James Montgomery Flagg writes
an amusing sketch about buying an
automobilein the January American
Magazine. Following is an extract;
You and Polly are given a dem
stration.
"The psychology Of the trade
starts psyching at the moment you
take your seat in the car. The in
slant the wheels turn you are a
gonerl
''Youare now the best salesman
they have! You sell yourself the car!
You root for that car as if it were
something you had invented your
self.
An awful Gathering underneath
your feet, that in later years Of ex-
perience would clearly indicate fraz-
zled bearings you are now eager to
have explained away as nothing but
the sweet pure Of perfect mechan-
ism.
You sit on the edge Of the seat,
nerves taut, inwardly challenging
these men to say anything nasty
about their own goods. Their own?
Yoursl
you clutchtho leather arm rests
with the fierce JOY Of ownership, and
cry Gee, some boatl''
1--WE could a-done that hill just
as easy on highl" grins the wicked
demonstration as he looks around for
your approval.
When can I have it," you hiss,
hardly recognizing your own voice.
BY the way" says the salesman
doubtfully, to the wicked demon
strator, this car isn't sold. is it,"
Oh, my godl'
oh, no, it's alright was
thinking Of that 1911 runabout Of
Johnson's-no, it's all rightl'
"OhP

Adams apple.

BIG TARIFF STICK FOR WILSON.
Hoke Smith Would Empower Presi-
dent to COuntervail Generally.

Washington, June 26-Urgent de-
sire to arm the President with q tariff
big stick" of stronger and greater
proportions than provided in the
amendment suggested by the finance
committee majority developed today
in the Democratic caucus of the Sen
safe on the tariff bill.
Discussion of the proposed counter
vailing duty on wheat and flour, which
the committee recommended. led to q
general debate on retaliatory and
countervailing tariff rates and Sem
ator Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, urgently
proposed the adoption Of an amend
ment that would give the President
power to enforce countervailing tariff
rates on all commodities Of commerce
against any nation refusing to deal
with the United States on a reciprocal
tarin basis.
The amendment proposed would
In many respects take the place of
the maximum and minimum clause Of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Senator
Smith advocated a provision that
would be broader than that; one that
would give the President the authority
at any time TO 1nterpose against any
nation which might discriminate
against the products Of the United
States the same tariff rates exacted on
American goods. Such a clause In the
tariff bill, ii was argued. would place
the United States i'm n position to de-
fend the country against any unrecip-
rocai action or attempt to shut off it's
foreign trade.
Discussion OF the proposals was
spirited, strong opposition developing
at once. Among the Senator'S who at
tackled the idea were O'Gorman, Reed
and Martin. Debate was waxing warm
when the caucus was forced to recess
for the afternoon session Of the Sem
ate. and was resumed tonight The
amendment recommended by the
committee is not countervailing
proposition i'm the strictest sense, pro-
viding only that the President should
proclaim certain fixed rates against
foreign nations on a limited number
OF specified commodities in cases of
discrimination against this country.
This Senator Smith and others did not
regard as comprehensive enough.
After the battle over free sugar and
free wool had been won yesterday by
the Administration forces, Senator's
opposed to the schedules approved
renewed their activities for an amend
ment which would extend the time
when the sugar and wool schedules
are to become effective after the pas
an amendment TO extend the date of
the sugar schedule until February /,
1914, permitting sugar planters and
refiners to get rid of this years crop
without the burden Of the decreased
tariff. This has been referred to the
majority of the finance committee for
consideration. The committee will rec
ommend some form of amendment
later to the caucus. Other suggestions
propose to suspend the operation of
the sugar duties for three months af-
ter the passage of the bill and that
the rates on manufacturers Of wool
he made effective ninety days and the
free raw wool provision sixty days af-
ter enactment of the law.
