The celebration of Thanksgiving
Day seems to centre around the din
ner table. What a glorious sight it
is on this purely American holiday to
see the members of the family from
far and near reunite on this occa-
sion.
AS the early celebrations were
necessarily simple, 1t is more in keep
ing with the event to include in the
menu dishes suggestive of those par
taken of in olden times. If you have
any old dishes, or pewter ware, use
them on this day.
AS the family group includes both
old and young plan your entertain
ment so as to be equally ENJOYABLE
for all ages. If cost is a considera-
ton you can make your table APP
pear very attractive by keeping in
mind the old-fashioned simplicity of
bygone days.
The table pictured would be very
appropriate for an only family" re-
union. A fiounce of decorative crepe
paper showing country scene with
his majesty. the turkey. struttins
about is attached to the table cover

What delight it is to the kid
dies" Their eyes fairly bulge with
the thoughts of all the goodies
they will taste on that day. Fur
ther than that, they have no de-
sire only perhaps TO gather with
other OF. their kin and make out
their much added-to Christmas
list.
TO the older sister the day mere
ly means an invitation to a thea
tire or perhaps a social gathering.
Fathers think Of it only as one
to get away from the office and
enjoy a good book. Perhaps the
big brother has football game in
view.
Mother. or housewife, does she
look forward to it with pleasure?
Indeed. she recalls other years
when with a tired sigh she sits
down to the table too tired to
enjoy the day.
Whether the housewife does the
cooking or only does the ordering
of meal it is not an easy matter.
OF course, the pumpkin pie,
mince pie, pork cake and cram
berry sauce are all prepared the
day before. This is a far easier
task than having to do 1t Thurs
day morning.

ENGLAND ENDORSES
SIx-CYLINDER MOTOR
Auto Owners and Prospective Buyers
Should Seek Truthful
View of Situation.

Every motor car owner and every pro-
spectiye buyer of a motor car should
seek to obtain a thoroughly accurate
and truthful view Of the automobile sit
uation. To allow his mind to be biased
by men selfishly interested in some spe-
cial type of car is not only foolish but
1t is going to cost him actual cold, hard
dollars The future value of a mans
motor car is something that is quite be-
yond his control in many essentials. A
man might own the best two-cylinder
car ever built He might have paid 5000
for 1t. Yet today its value is little more
than that of old iron. Some men are per-
hitting themselves to be led away by
statements Of interested statesmen in re-
gard to the attitude of European makers
and buyers on the six-cylinder car II
Europe has discarded skies, as is claim
ed. it surely should be known. If, on the
other hand, they indorse the six and are
building this type of car, this also should
be known Conditions in Europe are
quite different from those i'll America.
Roads in Europe also favor lower
powered machine. Cost of fuel makes
imperative an engine that is most eco
nomical on gasoline Yet a leading Lon
don motor car publication, in recent
issue, says: 1t is obvious that the con-
best met by a six-cylinder engine. be-
cause its superior torque lends itself to
top gear running. and its well nigh per-
feet balance makes 1t possible to run the
engine at high speeds, such are ne
cessitated by low gears on the level. with
out vibration or noise. The four-cy Under
engine cannot compete with the six Ell
Their In torque at low speeds or in smooth
ness OF running at any engine speeds"
IN the fuel question note the following:
THE fact that the small six should be
used In so keen q contest as the Grand
Prfx, and, moreover, in II Grand Prix
with fuel limit. Is an evidence that il is
no longer restricted to it's old field of
work, in which smoothness of running in
big engines was the main consideration
We are not given to prophesy, yet the
fact remains that all OF the indications
at present point toward a wider use of
the six-cyiinder engine than ever before
as 1t appears probable that it will be
made in still smaller sizes, and eventu-
ally take the place of the four-cylinder
engine for comparatively small cars"
This authoritative and very positive state
ment on the part of a leading and thor
oughly reliable automobile journal should
go far toward settling the question of
Europc's attitude toward the sx-cylinder
car.

Highway Association to Show
Value of Practical Main

In order to demonstrate the value OF
practical maintenance ot highways. the
American Highway Association. the CEN
tral good roads organization OF the
United States. has arranged, In co-opera-
ton with the federal Office OF public
roads and road officials In Virginia,
North Carolina. South Carolina and
Georgia. for an ambitious maintenance
experiment on the road from Washing
ton to Atlanta. Ga. Over 100 milas Of
road ere expected to be improved and
kept In condition as a result OF the
initiative OF the American Highway As
ISOLATION. The experiment is on q larger
scale than any maintenance experiment
ever undertaken in this country.
The great maintenance object lesson
road extends from the capital OF the
United States through q very historic
section of the country, passing such IA
nous points as Arlington. Mount Yer
non, the battlefelds of Bull Run, Chan
Spotsylvania and Freder-
fcksburg. en- route to Richmond: thence
extending southwark through the cap
itals OF North and South Carolina, and
terminating at Atlanta.

The American Highway Association
Will enlist Tie SuPPoiI u tiie CouilcS anu
districts traversed by the road, and,
wherever possible, induce the local au-
thorfties to place the road under the
of government engineers who
will be detailed from the Office of public
roads for that purpose under the CO.

Proba bly, rs per cent of the total mile
age has already been improved by sur
facing of stone, gravel or mixture of
sand and clay. The object of the MAIN

to mako the unimproved portions as COM
Portable for travel as possible with the
money available
with tho cooperation Of all different
communities, however, 1t is hoped that
concerted work will be undertaken on
the entire stretch of highway, resulting
IN q continuous maintenance object les
son that will be a stimulus to main
tenance throughout the country. The
American Highway Association has I'M
dertaken to raise the money for the
travelling expenses of the engineers who
will supervise the work.
Leonard Tufts Ia chairman of the COM
mittee designated by the association to
have charge OF the campaign, and he has
already arranged to pace Ito miles un-
der government engineers. 1t Is expect
ed that all counties traversed by the

benefit the entire seaboard.
