Another Enemy.

London, March S1.-The sight of
birds pecking mortar suggested TO
an Englishman a bright idea for
demolishing the Krupp works. The
idea was this:
Obtain flock of cormorants and
train them by putting their food in
horizontal and vertical lines against
wall They will thus associate
these lines with their food. Take
the birds 10 Essen and liberate them
They would then attack the great
chimneys at Krupp's works with
such vigor as TO destroy them.
The inventor sent his plan TO the
war inventions board. a member of

FATE OF SUFFRAGE IN BALANCE
Judiciary Committee Refused to Dis
ioin Issues in Amendment.

Washington, April 2,-Considera-
ton of every proposed constitutional
amendment introduced in the house
this session, including those for wom-
an suffrage and prohibition and nine
teen others of a minor character was
postponed indefinitely today by the
judiciary committee, The vote was
ten to nine.
Suffrage leaders who vainly sought
to have their proposal voted on sep
arately, declared tonight they would
continue their fight until the end of
the session If necessary. They main.
tanned they controlled enough votes
in the committee today TO insure vic
tory if the other questions had not
been included in the motion. If pos
sible they will bring the issue to a
vote again when the committee meets
Thursday.
Little hope for a favorable report
from the present committee is enter
tained however, by the members who
favor woman suffrage. Chairman Webb
is opposed to the amendment and to-
day re recognized representative Car.
lin of Virginia 10 make the postpone.
ment motion while representatives
Nelson of Wisconsin and Moss of West
Virginia clamored for the floor.
Prohibition leaders have made no
announcement as to their future
plans. None of them appeared at
the committee today and it is consid-
cred doubtful if their proposal will be
resurrected for any other purpose than
to block separate suffrage vote.

About the Apperson.

Each motor car reflects its maker
the policies of its builders. And mos
fortunate is the manufacturer who is
able to prove superiority of past per
formance.
Twenty-three years ago, Elmer and
Edgar AHpersOn helped 10 bring into
existence the first motor car made
in America. And for twenty-three
years these motor masters have
produced only automobiles of fine,
ness.
Since 1898 the destinies of the
House of Apperson have been guided
by these two master builders. It
has known but one policy-one ideal.
Price has never governed the build
ing of an Apperson Car.
The Apperson of today stands for
the cumulative fruits Of their mature
knowledge. And no other maker can
command a greater store Of expert
ence.
The Apperson Of today as the Ap-

person of earlier years, is built com
plete in the Apperson plants. Only
skilled American artisans are en-
trusted with the careful and exacting
work demanded.
These are the chief reasons why
there has never been poor Apper-
son automobile. The Apperson finan-
cial record is clean. The house of
Apperson Is solid, substantial, safe,
The product of the House of Apper'
son is car of accredited standing
And for these reasons, pride of
possession plays a definite part in
the purchase of an Apperson car.
To step from your car after n ten
mile run "fit' and eager to take up
your daily tasks; or after a days
tourney free from fatigue, rested and
refreshed in mind and body-is to
have experienced true motor car
enjoyment.
In your search for a car capable
of attaining this result two influences
govern your choice. These are; the
characteristics which appeal to your
appreciation Of good taste-beauty'
luxury, prestige, comfort; and the
material qualifications which have TO
do with the capability of the car
itself, such as power, economy, feXi.
bility and durability,
Each should command an equal
place in your consideration. Neither
is complete without the other. For
without a true mechanism, beauty is
valueless. Without confidence, COM
fort is impossible of attainment.
Apperson motor cars have reached
degree of development in which
craftsmanship and art are given
equal emphasis.
An Apperson automobile, whether
a six or an eight, is purchased with
the assurance that you number among
YOUR possessions a car capable of
carrying you safely, swiftly, surely
and in comfort: and with the full
knowledge that it harmonizes with the
most refined environment.
Style is not necessarily the super
fetal and varying fancies Of a season.
1t is the qualifications which are the
distinguishing features of the work of
the true artist. 1t is the manner of
execution Of an inspiration.
In the 1916 Apperson. style in ex-
preston is the basic factor of its
beauty. 1t is this which serves TO
the Apperson mode of
execution as remote from common
use"
Just as a setting may make or
mar a precious gem, so may the coach
work of a motor car deract from
the desirability Of its perfect mechan-
ism.
The very style in which the new
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-04-02

Appersons are moulded is suggestive
of litheness and eagerness. The
graceful lines are indicative OF speed
and power. Also comfort and ease
are due in no small measure to their
correct contour.
An Apperson car carries itself with
an air of good breeding that does
Justice to its enviable record of past
achievements. And, although con-
forming to the prevailing vogue, it
possesses a distinct individuality,
which places it in the front rank OF
the most expensive motor vehicles.
Apperson beauty does not wane
with the season. An Apperson car
stays new.
Pleasure in motoring is in direct
proportion to the comfort experienced.
True comfort embraces mental
state as well as physical ease.
Your complete enjoyment in driv-
ing an Apperson car Is not marreu III
the slightest degree by apprehension.
Easily, swiftly, smoothly you glide
along as comfortable as though in
your favorite easy chair. There is
no thought of motor limitation-no
sense of mechanical effort.
The added niceties of luxurious up
holstering, deep seats and generous
spaciousnss play a part no less i'm
portant.
Long tours are looked forward to
and are accomplished with as much
comfort as the shorter trips on city
boulevards.
Mr.. f. T. Ezell is the local sales
manager of the Apperson, and will
be glad to give you demonstration
Of this car.

Snuff and a Crook.

Robert Pinkerton once told q story
of his father. the founder of the de-
tective agency. which illustrates the
elder pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton's
Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton
left tue room and when he returned
took the precaution of holding re-
volver in front of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand.
This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took a sniff.
"For the eyes or the nose?" asked
Pinkerton. who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.
"Well,' remarked the criminal, I'm
sorry to say that the nose gets it this
time"

Benz. w. Bray, for upwards Of 20
years postmaster at Nashua, pretty
community on the peninsula between
Sisco and the st. Johns river, died on
Monday last. Mr.. Bray was one
whose life had been prolonged by
coming to Florida. He came here
many years ago to escape the rlgors
of the New England winters, and al
though never robust, he has neverthe-
less been able to enjoy the life of the
Quiet community where he lived and
labored and where his useful life will
long linger as a pleasant memory,
Mr.. Bray was member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and a
high-minded Christian gentleman.
His example of Christian living is a
rich legacy for his children. He is
survived by his wife and four daugh-
tiers, the Misses Louise, Claire and
Ruth Bray, and Mrs. Julien de Ma
zarie.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
and was largely attended, neighbors
and friends coming from manv points
on the peninsula and from Palatka.

At the time of writing these items
there was no improvement in her

English is not only, as Richard JEFF

Swinburne's opinion, the most musical.
He proclaimed the lines
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies

language. And few would venture to
contradict such a master of music and

to its abundance of vowels (close on
