 Behind the artillery camp, in an abandoned bakery, is the staff of the - brigade, and a room pretentiously labeled ''Chancellery. What brigade it is one not for censorship reasons-say; but the ehancellery is no secret. It is a plain room with only a table, a chair and an unusu- ally base telegraph of Czar Nicholas IT with mirror-smooth face and a beard that looks made out of stained isinglass.

The |chancellery l found, is the brigade love letter writing department and the general l@tter writing department. At the table sat an elderly, angry man, half dressed as a soldier half as civilian with mill tary trousers. civilian boots, a civilian blouse, and military forage cap. He wrote laboriously. Before him stood four middle-aged nnwashed soldiers. They explained, gesticulated and fussed The half civilian, half soldier, looked at them ficrcely, and said: Now, l have written enough to your dasha,' and the youngest of the four soldiers said, "Yes enough. Have you put in the stops?' The half and-half soldier began a new letter for new soldier. He finished it without consulting the soldier, read it out ,spat and said. "Tchort vozmi The devil take 1t.

 One local police official has claimed that a woman, found dead with 20 knife wounds in her body three of which we-e in her back, committed suicide. She must have enjoyed the actual process inten sew since she drew it out so long. Yet, ore cannot doubt the efficiency of our wonder ful police department-why, we haven't had an actual war in the city yet. Recently I saw Anita Stewart. moving picture actress of some popularity, ap- pear on a local stage in person. She announced that she was much frightened but glad and honored. and added that she had been working very hard. At which the big audience applauded much. We are always ready to applaud hard work in others vet the same old tendency exists to say'we work hard when we afraid someone will really make us do it., When we are working as hard as we can we are generally too weary to say anything about it. and glad to talk of something else. Still Anita is a nice girl at that.

But, all the Salesmanship and all the Advertising,
under the Sun could increase by single Tire, the
sdeS Of Tires beyond the number of Cars owned by Con

The Market for Tires is therefore limited inaezbly to
the number of Cars running and the Mileage which each
Owner is induced to yearly.
Therefore, we opine that to promote greater Sales, and
greater use, of Automobiles few better incentives be
offered than markedly cost, TO CONSUMERS, for
