i"If at the close OF this debate, you
do not know all the merits OF Pack
ard, just tell salesman and you'll
find out"
Two minutes were given each side
for rebuttal and the fact that both
introduced new arguments, seemed not
to trouble anybody. and Miss Hornish
introduced plan Of national defense
by the use OF the Ford compared with
which Major Hamill's scheme Of pre-
paredness is as nothins.
The Judges were asked If they wish
ed to retire from the room to make
their decision, whereupon Mr.. Carter,
the chairman, rose and gave the de-
cision right off the bat.
He announced the decision OF the
Judges in favor of the Ford, stating
that Judge Boyd had too bad a cold to
talk and Judge Sprowls wished to
finish his knitting. He called atten-
ton to some points the ladies had
Overlooked In their arguments, saying
that the cranking of Ford was the
same motion used in wringing a chick
ems neck, thus making 1t appeal to
the farmers wife, while the city WON
ian preferred the Ford because 1t could
also be used as a vacuum cleaner.
Mrs. Woolley had said that Elijah
assembled In Ford in the Bible story.
while Mrs. Collins mentioned Moses
as going up in an auto. These two
mistakes were corrected by the state
ment that 1t was really Jonah who
took the ride.
! Sixteen points were taken from Miss
Hornfsh for mentioning the war in
her remarks, as the kensington was
neutral body. Ten extra points were
given Mrs. Charles for wearing u
cameo pin and Miss Estes was pen
allied four and three-eights points
marked down from five-for neglecting
to burst forth in poetry with the words
toy and joy, which she used. Mrs.
Dennison was accused OF looking
scornfully at Miss Dinsdale's watch
when she used the expression 'fmita-
ton jewelry'' during her remarks
and was reprimanded for this.
The judges had done their best to
! return q. fair verdict and the only
| reward they expected, was a cup OF
! tea. The announcement OF the decls-
! ion was closed with the quotation,
credited to Lord Tennyson's ode to
the dead czar of Russia, as follows:
"Breathes there the man, with soul
so dead
| Who never to himself hath said:
III own a Ford before I'm dead"
When the applause had subsidized,
the social committee served delicious
Individual pumpkin pies and iced tea.
| Miss Dinsdale paid very merited
tribute to this committee which is
most faithful and efficient and re-
sourceful in planning these afternoon
entertainments.
The committee included Mrs. Hor-
nish. Mrs. c. M. Teeters, Mrs. j. E.
vanatta, Mrs. Frank Griffey, Mrs. G.

said David Lloyd George. chancellor
OF the e%xchequer, replying today to a
population of the Shipbuilding EN-
ployers' federation, who urged q to-
tai prohibition of the stale Of intoxi-
eating liquors during the period Of the
war. The deputation asked that the
prohibition should apply not only to
public houses, but also to private
clubs, to operate equally with all
classes, of the community.
1t was stated that despite tho fact
that work was being carried on night
and day, seven days in the week, the
total working time or the average in
nearly all British ship yards was less
than before the war and that the
average productiveness had decreased.
There were many men doing splendid
and strenuous work, probably as good
as the men in the trenches, but many
did not even approximate full time.
Notwithstanding the curtailment of
the hours they are allowed to keep
open, the receipts Of the public houses
in the neighborhood Of the ship yards
had increased. The case of n battle
ship coming for immediate repairs
was cited. She was delayed q day by
the absence Of riveters who were
drinking and carousing.
