This Is Vital to Every Owner
OF A
Maxwell Briscoe MotorCar

THERE ARE TIRE
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes Of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch Of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a S1,750,O00
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
Of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 20T January LIST,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

Louisiana's way to prosperity
that is safe, dependable, year
after year, is through right edu-
cation.
And the right education must
specialize upon the lettering,
quickcning, strengthening the
productive power Of the average
citizen.
The average citizen in Louisf-
ana depends for his welfare upon
what is done with the soil OF Lou
lsiana. When the cotton, sugar,
or rice crop fails, it IS not only
the farmer, but the merchant,
his doctor, his preacher, who feel
the blow.

LAKE C AAES SETS A new PACE

The action of the assessor,
following the trend Of public SEN
ment, in fixing the valuation OF
improvements at one-half the
proportionate rate of land and
town lots in lake Charles. has
filled some OF our neighborlng
cities with envious admiration.
The Baton Rouge State Times
comnends the plan in long edl-
toriai from which the following
extaacts are made:
"Lake Charles, like Shreve-
port, followed the example of
Baton Rouge, and put in a front
foot system of assessment, with
the valuation OF improvements
separately, has made one ad.
vanced step over Baton Rouge in
that il refused 10 pat penalty on
progress and advancement.
''Instead at assessing the real
estate aud improvements alike.
on a basis OF sc pee cent Of their
reat value, Lake Charles assessed
real estate at so per cent of its
value anu improvements at 40
per cent.
"Laxe Charles, in this action,
is following the best thought OF
progressive cities of The coLnry.
Lake Charles went further
than Baton Resge and made a
more careful analysis Of its con-
'dition.

Choral Society Sings
Haendel's Messiah"

For the eighteenth time, in as many
years, the Choral Society of Philadelphia
sang last night the familiar and high
sounding Messiah" of Haendel. The ora
torio. which is best adapted of all to
the Christmas season, was sung in ac-
cordance with the traditions and stand
ards which the Choral Society has set
itself in the many years of It's activities,
and the audience was deeply apprecia-
tive of its work.
The soloists were Evan Williams, Frank
NJ. Comfy, Christine Miller and Mae Ebrey
Hotz-in the order of their singing. The
first three had that least grateful of
tasks. singing what is practically colorl-
tura in ranges which are essentially I'M
suited to coloratura work. Mr., williams
tenor was well handled, Mr.. Conly's bass
was colorful and deep. Christine Miller
sang her air, with chorus, in the first
part of the oratorio with a powerful
voice and with dramatic ability. Miss
Hotz's voice, eminently suited for the
music, was excellently controlled. But it
was, as always, the chorus which made
the Messiah" splendid to hear. The 800
voices were admirably controlled by Hen
ry Gordon Thunder; they rose swiftly
and surely to their attack; and the con-
certed singing, as we'll as the orchestral
accompaniments, were excellently done.

Elaine Ivans. star of the new Nina

arrived on the Marken from Rotterdam,
to which Dutch city she escaped after a
series OF thrilling adventures in the Eu-
ropean War zone. Miss Ivans and her
mother were In Germany when war was
declared. Fancying themselves secure
because neutral, they remained When
they decided to return they found the
journey decidedly perilous, but finally
reached Rotterdam, via Brussels and
Antwerp.

anything" says Miss Ivans. I'VE had
certified passports, but we were sub
mitted to every kind of questioning and
constant delays, l saw enough OF the
war to thoroughly sicken and disgust
me. I'm mighty glad 10 be back in
