SILENCE IN THE BEST CARS
Silent Chains, Worm Gears, En-.
closed Gears All Contribute to
Noiseless Operation.
ALL NOISE IS ELIMINATED

when motorist complains nowadays
Of a noise in the rear system Of his new
six-cylinder car the crafty repair man
will first ascertain If Mr.. Motorist is not
listening to the rattle of the vacuum
cup treads on the asphalt pavements.'
says j. v. whitbeck. chief engineer Of
the Chandler Motor Car company.
For that is the extent to which silence
has been wrought in the construction of
the modern motor car. Even a non-skid
tires hiss as It meets the pavement may
be construed as something wrong with
the car.
THE elimination of noise in the auto
mobile has been a very gradual process
with motor car manufacturers. It has
been a problem involving great eXpend-
iture OF time, money and brains on the
part of the men who have furthcst ad-
vanced the cause Of the automobile in
this country and abroad. In the begin
ming we had tho big square type Of
cylinder cast singly, and with exposed
valves on each side of the motor Muf-
flers were still in the future and the roar
from the exhaust of the powerful motor
of that day was indeed an awesome
thing Then came the first big cast-iron
mufflers resembling small boilers, but
at least capable of cutting down some of
the noise.
Replacing the Chains.
with the exhaust report reduced to
some degree, the noise caused by the
driving chains on the rear wheels became
Just as offensive to the fastidious driver
Enter the steel propeller shaft combined
with the first bevel gears. The first car
designed along these lines was exceed
ingly heavy and only a little less noisy
than its chain-driven predecessor But
improvements in the grade of steel and
the art of gear cutting, rapidly brought
the rear axle system into a very fair de-
gree of quietness. With the exhaust and
rear axle taken care of, the motor car
engineer next turned his attention to the
valves. The noise attending the opening
and closing of valves for intake and ex-
haust purposes has finally been reduced
to a minimum by casting cylinders of the
L-head type with the valves all on one
side Hand plates which are easily re-
moved, now close in the valves, so that
their operation is barely perceptible to
the driver"

How Much Are Your Family
Food Bills Per Week?

The trouble about this high cost of
living problem Is that we hear only one
side of the story-its all against the
maker or seller of eatables. What about
your end of il, Mrs. Food Buyer? Let's
take a glance at your weekly food bills.
Meat! Meat! Meat! More Meat Why
this extravagance? Listen to what the
great dietitian, DR.. Hutchison, says:
Prom an economic point of view, meat
is dear food, whether as a yielder of
energy or a source OF building material"
That doesn't mean that we can abolish
meat from our table entirely, but we can
cut down on il and seek other nutritious
but cheaper foods.
What about Faust Macaroni? The
same authority says that "Macaroni is
absorbed almost in It's entirety-that is,
II practically all goes to the making of
blood, muscle and tissue. Faust Macar-
oni is made from Durum wheat, is high
ly glutinous and can be prepared in
many appetizing ways and costs 10c a
large package.

New Ford Models
Popular with Ladies

The new Ford Sedan and Coupelet are
coming in for a large share of the atten-
ton of the feminine contingent at the
auto show. The Sedan, with it's graceful
lines, beautiful finish and luxurious re-
finements, seems to attract the greatest
amount Of admiration, although the
Coupelet receives a goodly amount of at
tention from the fair motorists.
II is said that these new Fords have

THE PRICE OF PEACE

Toronto Mail. 1.-THE Work of
from" is the subject of the last of
the series of lectures delivered
in 1858 and 1859 which Ruskin
collected and published in THE
Two Paths" He says that the
first power of a nation consists
IN knowing how to guide the
pillow; the second in knowing how
to wear the fetter, that is, the
necessary restraint of low; and
the third in knowing how to wear
the sword. Referring to the
last he has this on peace and war.
Both peace and war are noble
OF ignoble, according to their
kind and occasion. No man has
a prOfounder sense of the horro"
and guilt of ignoble war than I
have; l have personally seen its
effects, upon nations, of unmiti-
gated evil, on soul and body, with
perhaps as much pity, and as
much bitterness of indignation
as any one of those whom you
will hear continually declaiming
in The cause of peace. But peace
may be sought in two ways. One
way is as Gideon sought it when
he built his altar in Ophrah, nam
ing it God send peace" yet
sought this peace that he loved,
as he was ordered 20 seek it, and
the peace was sent in Gods way;
'the country was in quietness 40
years in the days of Gideon"
The other way of seeking peace
is as Menahem sought it when
he gave the king of Assyria a
thousand talents of silver that
his hand might be with him."
you may win your peace or
buy it.; win it by resistance to
evil-buy it by compromise with
evil. You may buy your peace
with silenced consciences, with
broken vows, with lying words,
with base connivances, with the
blood of the slain and the cry of
the captive and the silence of lost
souls over hemispherers of the
earth, while you sit smiling at
your serene hearths, lisping COM
Portable prayers evening and
morning and counting your pretty
Protestant beads and so mutter
continually to yourselves, Peace
ipeace, when there is no peace
but only captivity and death for
you, as we'll as for those you leave
unsaved; and yours darker than
theirs.
81 can not utter what / would ;
we all see too dimly as yet what
cur great world-duties are to al
law any of us to try to outline
their charging shadows. But
think over what l have said, and
as you return to your quite homes
Tonight reflect that their peace
was not won for you by your own
hands, but by their lives for you,
their children; and remember
that neither this inherited peace
nor any other can be kept, but
Through he same jeopardy. No

CHINA AND LIE WAR

The country that has most to
gain and least to lose because Of
the European war appears, at
present, to be China. Official
statements show that this war
was long in preparation, and that
most, if not all, of the principals
believed it to be inevitable. Yet
for all this fatalism in Europe,
the European diplomatic repre-
sentatives were busy in China up
to the last moment. Then came
the blast of war and Immediately
all attention was diverted west
ward. For the hour, then, China
seems to be free from not a few
avowed enemies and many doubt
full friends. That it escaped par
tition was due TO several causes,
the strongest, perhaps, being
common fear and cupidity among
the nations of the west. There
is no question as to the United
States service in preserving the
integrity of the country. But
all things considered Japan is be-
lieved to have been most instru-
mental in the maintenance of the
individuality of China.
When the war began there
were numerous kroups of diplo-
matte agents and international
fnanciers at work in China. II
China were not TO be cut up ply
sically, there were valuable con-
cessions; and in this day of COM
mercial rivalry, concessions APP
peared to these field agents q
valuable political asset. The
Standard Oil company obtained
one of the most desirable con-
cessions-a monopoly in certain
rich and undeveloped oil fields
Railroads, mines and banking
were developing South China, bu
the natives did not share in the
prosperity. It was a contest il
which the keenest were sure to be
the victors commercially; and
according to European standards
commercial supremacy prom
ised absolute influence.
Friends of Japan quote num-
erous instances in proof of tina
governments real friendship fol
the Chinese. The moral supper
and occasional diplomatic aid or
fered by the United States-ai
in the case of the "six-pOwe
loan''-were important. Blu
Japan, being China's close neigh.
Dor, had the power to exert grea
influence for good or i'll. Euro

AS WAS EXPECTED.

No real surprise can be expressed
at the decision of the French prize
court which has heard the Dacia case
in holding that the vessel was trans
ferred from the German to the Amer
lean flag for the purpose of escaping
the consequences of its proper regis
tration. This is only what was indi-
Gated when the Dacia was loading it's
cargo for Europe and before it left
this country and the decision there
fore is only what was to be expected.
If the Dacia was sent forth as a
test case it has served its purpose.
There has been no further resort to
such a plan for the utilizing of Ger
man vessels which have been tied I'd
in this country for protection during
the war and following this decision
there is not likely to be. It has been
a costly experiment, both as regards
the vessel and its cargo. for while two
payments have been made upon the
latter through the French ambassador
in this country the delay thereon offers
no Involvement to a continuance of
such practice.
Whatever ideas those who negotiated
the Dacia deal may have had they
must realize now that it would have
been to their advantage to have been
guided by the advice which was ad-
vanced sufficiently early to have pre-
vented the present situation. 1t was
anticipated that it could not be viewed
as a bona fide deal and that is the
very position which the French court
has taken on the matter. 1t was an
effort to get around the existing cir
cumstances which did not succeed.

to the government. The governing in
fluence in such cases was the faithful
ness Of the appointees to the party.
Their qualifications were measured by
their political activity.
Some realization. at least, of the
danger of such q policy is to be gath
cred from the action which has just
been taken in reappointing William
w. Russell to his former post as min
lister to San Domingo. In that posi-
ton he was a capable Official who
thoroughly understood conditions and
how TO handle them, yet he was sac
rif1ced that a place might be made for
James Sullivan. That was not the only
instance where the same policy was
used, but il was the case which
brought to light the harmful effects
of thus taking care of deserving
democrats"
While that affair served to show up
the methods of the former secretary
of state and a disregard for the in
terests of the country, the subsequent
removal of Minister Sullivan and the
return of Mr., Russell to the post in
dictates a change in policy which is
wholesome. If the administration has
had its eyes opened and the course
followed means the abandonment of its
former ideas 1t is well. 1t comes late,
but it shows good sense.

EX-GOVERNOR sLAToN RIGHT.

There is an undodgable duty which
rests upon the authorities of the state
of Georgia in connection with the
lynching of Leo NJ. Frank which should
not only be fulfilled, but which should
be insisted upon by the lava abiding
people of that commonwealth. It is
a right view which is taken of the
affair by Ex-Governor Slaton when he
declares that the act was a consum-
mate outrage and every man engaged
in the lynchfng should be hanged, for
he is an assassin" and he gives ex-
preston to a sentiment which is need
ed for the ending of such conditions in
that state when he says: ANY man
who approves of this action of the
mob is unworthy to be a Georgian.
Any man or newspaper which condones
his offense ought to be driven out of
he state.''
No state has any sympathy to waste
upon body of citizens who are re-
sponsible for such conditions and the
quicker they can be located and pun
shed the greater will be the hope for
an improvement in the recognition of
law and order in that state Georgia
has always had an unenviable record
N the support of lynch law and mob
rule. 1t has reached a point where the
citizenship should rise in mass and
demand it's adjustment With the
state giving the authorities the proper
support or insisting upon the run

needs, but it will not come until it

HIGH FINANCE AGAIN.

The interstate commerce commits
sions report upon the financial af-
fairs of the Rock Island railroad in
dictate that high finance was not con-
fined solely to the east. Thin air APP
pears to have surrounded the opera
lions of that system in more instances
than one. The report reveals series
of tremendous losses which show that
little consideration was given to the
interests of the road or the stockhold-
ers.
There must have been a fragrant dis
regard for the responsibility which
was placed upon the directors of that
road. 1t was another instance where
the work was left to a few and their
actions were supported by the many
despite the f1zzle they were making.
1t was a case where the many were
being sacrificed for the benefit of the
few. The respect for the stockholders
was inconsiderate and has not only
meant a terrific loss Of assets in the
past but forces a continuance of losses
in the future to make up for the I'M
businesslike conditions. The recovery
must be slow and difficult and the
small owners must pay for the wild
and reckless ideas of those in whom
their confidence was misplaced. That
this to a large extent was done in
tentionally is shown by the publish
ing of misleading reports for which
there was no excuse except to cover
up crooked dealings.
The numerous instances of high
finances, with their disastrous results
in the recent past, point out the dan
gers as nothing else could. They call
more emphaticaIly for directors who
direct. There is no place for the
dummy director in any corporation.
