Time Noe0 To B ny

The man who hasn't yet bought an
automobile should take note of the
fact now is the time to purchase. He
can get more car for his money than
in any year before this.
There is tendency toward higher
prices in the rising cost of raw ma
terial. That's the factor that probably
makes this year better one in which
to buy an automobile than next
year.
When the automobile makers began
last July announcing their 1916 models
they also announced notable price re-
auctions, from around So, 500 to 81, 700,
from 81, 700 to $1,1OO, from $1,1OO to
S725, from SIZE to $625 and 80 on down
to smart little runabouts under $500.
Some doubtless suspected a lowering in
quality, but there wasn't. The quality
averages much better than ever before.
Of course there's reason. 1t may
be summed up in two phrases. Great
ly increased demand; improved desi
which includes better materials, and
greater efficiency in production.
1t may seem contradiction to speak
of increased demand as lowering
prices. It's truism of economics that
more demand means higher prices.
That is generally true, but there are
situations where the effect is reversed.
That is when the greater demand justi-
fies equipment that lowers mauufactur-
ing cost. Chicago Record Herald. Q

ity in the United States that would
not look with powerful displeasure on
a man who was known to be In the
habit of swindling children out of their
pennies; but hundreds of communities
in the United States swindle children
out of something much more precious
than pennies, with never blush, says
the Saturday Evening Post. '::The
educational gold brick, which our
fathers celebrated, is pslmed off year
after year on a great number of country
boys and girls.
''Not that tour fathers celebration
was unjustifed. A little, ill-equipped,
one-teacher country school is much bet
ter than no school at all; but it remains
today in many a rural community where
it has no more business than an ox-cart
would have as pleasure vehicle. A
string of little, old-fashioned, one
teacher country schools, with a course
of studies not at all related to country
life, in rural district where many
farmers own automo biles, is scandal
GUS fraud on country youth.
The consolidated country school,

with adequately paid teachers and 1

DepoSlting the Gold

With the close of the war the United
States will have more than her share
of the gold of the world. Unless some
thing unforeseen happens, gold will be
the measuring stick by which the wealth
of the world will be measured. At
least two thirds of the gold in this
country is within fifty miles of the
waves beating on the Atlantic coast or
at least within one hundred miles of
that shore. The most of it is in Wash
ington, Philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton or the cities depending upon them.
In the war game the eastern cities
would fall first and therein lies the
danger. More of the gold reserve OF
the countryIshould be brought into the
interior-away from the danger of in
vasion. The present conflict has taught
the war lust is liable to break forth al
any time, not tomorrow or the day
after, but ia liable to come at some
future time. The piles of gold in the
eastern cities would be a tempting
prize in the eyes of an outlaw nation.

The War to Begin W ar

In the early days of this struggle
facile pens discoursed about the war
that was to end war and create united
Europe. All but the blindest see now
that men do not gather olive branches
from machine guns. The war overlook
a divided Europe, and it has deepened its
divisions into chasms. While the
clergy, the poets, and the demagogues
invoke our self-righteousness to refuse
all dealing with the enemy of yester-
day, the business world will capitalize
our hates and turn cur sentimentality
to profit. Somewhere from their pres
ent silence the eager heads may emerge
on both sides to warn US all that an
economic struggle with the old divisions
on the old battle ground means the per
manent organization of the moral ruin
of Europe. Some see and some will
dare to say that it was our financial
imperialism, our commercial national
ism, the closed coloney, and the con-
cession area which prepared the pres
ent strife. Cobden's preaching on the
connection of peace and free trade is
not wholly forgotten, but the lessons
will be slowly learned, and it may re-
quire hard experience to enforce it

DEATH Rides m0iSib1e.

No doubt many have wondered if q
bomb coul1 be seen to fall from q
zeppelin when dropped at an elevation
of mile or more. A writer on the
Russian front says that bombs fell near
him from anKair craft over mile in
the air and the bombs reached such
great speed when near the earth they
were invisible. Death rode unseen on
these deadly missels. The persons be
low never knew of their approach until
the explosion and often the victims
were killed, never knowing the cause
of their death,

One woodt ship yard in Maine, it is
shown, has in the last decade built but
one fore and after, while it has turned
out forty-three barges, lighters, dredges
