MOTOR CAR BODIES
TO EXPRESS ART LINES

This self-respect or pride-value in
car depends upon the authority of
the vehicles design, its social stand
ing, and the degree of art involved
in its makeup; the appeal of its APP
pearance. The art of motor-car build
ing is thus resolving itself more and
more into a studio task for the artist
and for the coach builder in his
atelier working to produce into the
new models a new appeal to the eye,
a new attraction of beauty.
If car is designed for certain
excellence or standard of mechanical
performance then it's body lines and
contours must be SO disposed as to
proclaim and suggest that perform
ance to the observer and to the pros
pective buyer. If a car is designed
primarily for comfort, then the art
lines should suggest comfort; if the
main feature of the design is the mo-
tor, then special attention should be
given to the lines to emphasize in the
observers mind the Importance of
what is under the hood.
There are certain definite rules and
principles to art which rarely have
been applied to motor car design, but
which are vitality important. These
principles may be used by the design
er with as much authority as the en-
gineer assumes in the use of his slide
rule, or the teacher in his statement
that and make A; yet these very
rules have not been made use of in
motor-car layouts until the past two
seasons. Even yet few companies
are employing artists on their en-
cheering stats
The day will come when bodies will
be designed by artists of National
reputation in this line who spend all
their art study to make motor-ca,
bodies express in their lines, contours,
and arrangements the individuality
and performance that the car pos.
sesses and that the sale and advertis-
ing departments want to express tc
the public in handling that car com
mercially. If the car in body lines
backs up, in its appeal, the state
ments of the advertising. and if the
performance and life of the car back
up the appearance, then will that car
be a success, and the undertaking OF
it to the people be accomplished along
lines Of least resistance and cost.

Fat Folks May
Now Become
Slim Quickly
BE Moderate i'm Your Diet, Breathe
Deeply, and Take Tassco.

Fat persons, particularly those
from 10 to 80 pounds above normal
weight will be interested to learn
that they may easily reduce their
weight without starvation diet or tire
some exercise.
This can best be done by being
moderate in your diet that you will
not over-tax you assimilative organs,
by getting plenty of fresh air, by
breathing deeply and by taking tassco
four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from any
druggist in 5-grain tablets, take one
after each meal and one before retir-
ing at night. They cost little, are alb
solutely harmless, are pleasant to
take and are designed to reduce fatty
accumulations in the system, where
ever located.
A few days treatment should show
noticeable reduction in weight, the
flesh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health i'm
proved, in fact your footsteps should
even become lighter, your work seem
easier and lighter and more bouyant
feeling take possession of your whole
being.
Every person from 10 to 20 pounds
over normal weight should surely give
this treatment a trial. You will
probably find that it is just what you
need.-adv.

upon the funds available for road con-
struction. The railroads have found
by experience that it is true economy
to keep their road-sides in good con-
dition; the managers of the public
highways would find it profitable to
emulate this example. If fifty years
experience in railway maintenance-of-
way can teach anything to fifteen
years experience with expensive
types of highways, it is that more at
tention should be paid to the care and
maintenance of the road-sides. With
the less expensive and lasting types,
the only safe rule is the rule Of yigi-
lance and care.
No road, whether for locomotives
or for horses and automobiles, can be
good without a good foundation. 1t
is impossible to have a good founda-
ton without drainage and there can
not be good drainage without clean
road-sides.

An Episcopal View

The Living Church says: An

plainly about the drink problem. The
Right Rev. Charles p. Anderson,
bishop of Chicago, in an address
given at the Majestic theater, said:

back at our tolerance of the liquor
traffic as we now look back upon slav-
cry as an institution. Every man

Temperance in RUSSIA.

After the war Russia will enter
upon a period of colossal economic
development, says prominent Rus
sian. In order to insure our economic
independence and to create a truly pa-
tional industrial life, we must in
crease the capacity of our market.
And temperance is one of the great
factors that make for such a develop
ment of our market.
The loss of certain habits created
by the alcohol evil is a basis of a
healthy and strong development in
our economic and cultural life. Tenn
perance makes the work of the mind
as well as of the muscles more inten-
sive. 1t makes our productive activ-
ity more effective, by decreasing the
intermittent periods of activity. II
charges the whole atmosphere around
us with active energy and desire for
work. When we consider this
psychological aspect of temperance
in connection with the development of
our productive forces, we invariably
come to the conclusion that the pos
sible losses which certain depart
ments Of our industrial and rural
economy would have to sustain be-
cause of the introduction of temper
ance, would be more than unbalanced
by the general increase of prosperity
which would be created by the sober
population.

liquor interests. l have discovered
what an awful error of judgment /
made in supporting the liquor cause.
The moral and economic benefits
which come from putting the saloons
out of business / have learned from

worthy citizen if l failed to make
acknowledgment of my error and of
my conversion to the cause Of prohi-
bition.

Prohibition doesn't prohibit to be

liquor of any kind.
