This is a much talked about subject.
Every dealer, every manufacturer. talks
about it. Some are specific, some only suggest
what it might be- This is our definition.
See if you do not agree that it is the most
important in the consideration of your motor
car purchase.
No man, no matter how experienced, can
know what service any car will render. No
two drivers operate their Car alike. No two
cars are called upon to render the same kind
of service.
Machinery will wear out. 1t must be at
tended to, and some one expert, willing and
broad in mind, must be there to see that the
car gives the service you expect it to give.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-05-10

A car must be built with a sufficient allow
ance to take care Of the average demand made
upon it.
No dealer can give service who is not sue
cessfuI. Motor car satisfaction is largely
matter of dealer satisfaction. To be able to
give such service the dealer must make profit.
He cannot sell his cars at discount. He can
not make unreasonable allowances for old auto
mobiles in order to make sale and have
profit left sufficient to give the service that
should go with every motor car.
He must see the broader possibilities of con-
Quoting his business upon a service basis than
is often found, especially among dealers whose
only interest is in making the sale.

PadereWski Meets Royal Receq-
ton in Native Land.
Dreams of a United Poiand-Practi
cal Nature of Wife Fias Kept Mu-
stefan From Leaving Concert
Stage for Politics.

WarsaW.-Ignace PadeFewski. the
pianist, is the uncrowned king of Pc
land, says Warsaw correspondent.
Whenever he appears in any town
of the ancient Polish republic he is
greeted with that royalty and enthu-
siam which belongs only to popular
monarchs. There is a royal halo
about Paderewski's presence in this
country, whether it be in the part
that lies under Russian, Austrian or
German rule. When he goes out,
crowds wait below to cheer him as he
leaves the hotel When he enters a
theater, those who cannot get inside
wait for hours outside in the hope Of
catching a glimpse of him and cheer
ing him on his way home. When he
gives concert, it is as if a king
held audience.
The pianists growing popularity
troubles the authorities, especially in
Germany and Russia Poland. The
Russian police have an idea that he
will one fine day get himself crowned
on the concert platform, between
sonata and rhapsody.
Always an ardent patriot, even
when poor and unknown, Paderewski
now spends huge sums on his country.
If it We're not for the more prac-
teal influence of his wife, Paderewski,
rich as he is, would be poor. No ap-
peal for his country or less fortunate
fellow countrymen can he hear in
vain. Nine. Paderewski has made a
rule of being present at all business
interviews. This has made her many
enemies. Paderewski would like, of
all things, to buy an estate in Poland.
Nine. Paderewski has so far, dis
suaded him, in spite of friends infiu-
ence pulling the other, way. His i'm
mense popularity probably would set
the authorities against him. And

Engineer Explains Why Some Build

What makes a building shake as II

an engineer was asked.
Only the buildings whose founda-
tons do not go down to bed rock
shake he replied. The occupants
of the building that rests on rock
never know when q heavy load passes
it. The man in the building whose
foundations go down just few feet
below the cellar floor, and stop in
the subsoil. often imagines he Is in
the center of an earthquake.
When the wagon bearing the beam
goes travelling along it bumps over
the inequalities Of the street with ire
mendous force, and this imparts wave
motions to the soil. which in turn
transfer the vibrations to the old
style foundations. which sway and
shake and tremble The foundations

longer. Then the Persian took Raoul
up the stairs again: but suddenly he
stopped him with a gesture. some
thing moved IN the darkness before

Is it some one belonging to the

that" replied the Persian, without
giving any further explanation.
It's not he?"
He? II he does not come
behind us, We shall always see his

But he may come from behind, steal

CANE IS NOW PROPER THING
Women Carry Walking Sticks in Fifth
Avenue and Central Park,
New York.

New York-The women are carry
ing canes again. The idea is quite in
keeping with waistcoats and slashed
skirts.
Sometimes a new fad takes a peep
at fashiondom; few alert ones catch
at it and appropriate it cor a short
time. Especially are Americans slow
to take up new and faddish ideas. But
on its second appearance it goes like
hot cakes.
Do you remember the "swagger
sticks, as the English army officers
call them, that a few women carried
two or three years ago?
The ones carried now are larger,
some Of them, and every excuse under
the sun is given for carrying them.
In London, Paris and Rome the
most fashionable women, old and
young, are carrying them, so that they
are quite as usual as a parasol would
be here.
The new canes are about a foot
longer than the gentlemans cane;
that is, about As inches They are
much lighter in weight and come in
two varieties, one with a small knob
and the other with the curved han
die. Ebony is perhaps the smartest
wood used, with pimento or Malacca
a close second.
London Is quite mad over the par
fridge wood, although this is distinct
ly a rougher cross country walking
stick. The color is mottled, about the
same as the partridge bird; and there
are distinct ridges every two inches
which resemble the lines of the feath-
ers. With a rough tweed suit this
looks better than the smoother woods
do. One of the most delicate, on the
other hand, is the throstle wood, a
pastel greenish blue. which is dainty
enough to be carried with the new
silk suits.
Although not few OF the canes
have appeared on the avenue, one of
the large umbrella houses is selling/a
dozen a week to the members of the
ultraexclusive set. Perhaps the best
place to see them is in Central Park
in the early morning. This morning
or beauty walk has become quite fad
among the debutantes of upper Fifth
avenue.
