 Every New Years eve citizens of Philadelphia gather round the shrine of Liberty Independence hall. to hear the New Year rung in. Formerly this service was performed by the bell now known as the Liberty bell
 Beforc that memorable day in l176 when the nations fathers gave forth to the world their Declaration of Inde- pendence, whose signing was heralded by tue ringing of the bell. New Years rejoicing was started by the first peal of what is now known as the Liberty bell
 After the events of July 4. 1776, made the bel! one of the most price. less relics of the nation, custodians of Independence hall restricted its use, fearing some mishap and after 1880 the bell was no longer used for the New Years salute. In 1892, on the eel ebratton of George Washingtons birth day, 1t was rung and not again for three years, when on July s, 1885, while the funeral procession of Chief Justice Marshall was pa ssing. the bell was4tolled.
 r Suddenly the note grew discOrdant An Investigation was made It was found that crack had been started The bell had completed its task. No mora would it greet the New Year or pay tribute to the nations great. But from the tower of Liberty's cradle an. other bell always welcomes the com. Ing of New Year-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Not Alone on New Year,

Of course ii is customary to make New Years day the day of new reso- iudons, but there is no particular req. son why we should confne this work to this one day in the year. In fact, the very best resolution we can make on New Years day ts to resolve that during the coming year we will use every endeavor to make each day a day of self improvement; that not a single day shall pass upon which we have not attempted to speak a good word or do a kind deed for somebody; that not day shall pass upon which we will not try to weed out some of the tares and brambles of character that now offend others or some of the bad habits that offend even ourselves

Cole Brings Out New
All-Year-'ROund Car

With no previous hint as to its plans,
the Cole Motor Car Company, of In
dianapolis. which during the present
year has been kept constantly in the
limelight because of the numerous ad-
lvancements it has made in the con-
struction and designing of its eight
cylinder car, again has startled manu-
facturers, dealers and owners through
out the country with the announce
ment of an all-year-'round type of
eight cylinder car that bids fair to rev.
olutionize the building of medium pric-
ed motor vehicles. The Cole-Springfield
Body, as 1t is known, is designed to
give the owner all the advantages of
both a luxurious touring car and a
costly limousine in one car which sells
for S2,195. This car, which is a seven
passenger automobile, is called the
Springfield Toursedan.
There are two other Cole models
equipped with the new Cole-Spring-
field Body One is known as the Tour
coupe, selling for S2,195, and the 9TH
er is the Cole Towncar listed at s2,495.
The Cole-Springfield Eight is
merely another step in the manufac-
ture of automobiles to satisfy the buy
ing public and give motorcar purchas-
money" said A. F. Knobloch, general
manager of the Cole Motor Car Com
pany, when the announcement was
made concerning the new body. I'VE
have added it to the Cole line because
1t completely fills a want long felt by
the motoring public for a really prac-
tical and sensible. all-weather. all-pur-
pose car.
Besides its weather advantages, one
of its most important features lies in
the fact that there is absolutely moth
ing about the body to warp, rattle or
squeak and IL has none of those annoy
ing faults so often found in the So
called detachable tops or the bother
some. Tapping side curtains. The top
of this car is permanent and it adds
most striking. graceful and beautiful
appearance to he car.
For rain or snow or extreme cold,
the Cole-Springfeld Body is ideal For
hot. stuffy days when relief can only
be found in driving through the open
air, this car, open at all sides, is un-
surpassed for comfort. It's the car
which was used so attractively in the
winter time.
The difference is an entire change
in the body which, required not more
than a few minutes of time and which
could be accomplished by woman,
child or man, as the case may be. 1t is
simply two cars in one at one price.
What more can you ask?'
AS Mr.. Knob1och stated, the new
Cole body is in absolutely no sense a
detachable top" The roof is there to
stay. II is built as part of the car
and 1t looks 1t. 1t adds a certain effect
to its appearance which at once gives
one the impression of an unusual and
costly car. However, the windows AT
the sides and rear, as we'll as the up-
rights which support them, are re-
movable. But few minutes is all the
time required to change the body from
open to closed variety. Just lift the
windows from their thickly padded
concealing cases and slip them into
place. That Is all there Is to 1t. Re
verse the action and the windows will
drop completely out OF sight and vo1
have car fully as suitable for tour

ing or use in warm weather as the or
dinary open touring car. and one
which is far more beautiful than the
average touring car, irrespective of
price. When the car is open all the
windows are absolutely concealed
When it is closed those windows fit as
snugly and perfectly as those of the
most expensive limousines.
This new type of Cole Eight body
is luxuriously fitted throughout. Fin
ished in American flag blue with dull
black trimming and mouse gray up
holstering, 1t represents the finest in
closed car workmanship and design.
1t has automatic electric door lights,
which switch on and off as the doors
are opened and electric light switches
are located both at the drivers seat
and in the tonneau. Among the acces-
sories are such widely and favorably
known products as the Warner electric
clock and the Warner speedometer.

BLAAIES GOLF FOR
BUSINESS FAILURES

BUSINESS FAILURES
A few years ago one of our hu-
morists made the statement that golf
was running America. He figured it
out that every man who exerted him
self sufficiently to become a captain
of industry began to suffer with incip-
lent paresis before he was fifty. This
disorder in its early stages, he stated.
took the form of violent megalomania
which resulted in raids by one group
of capitalists upon another to the dis
organization of business. to the great
detriment of the country, etc, and

WHY HE DIDN'T GET THE RAISE

A certain young man, second in
charge of an important piece of con-
struction, gave great promise. He had
executive ability and good judgment,
qualities which inspired confidence in
the minds of his superiors. It had just
been decided to place him in charge
of the next large work to be under
taken, when tempting bit of difficult
analysis proved his undoing. On ac-
count of an unforeseen underground
obstruction encountered during exca-
walton. certain local variations from
the design became necessary. The
conditions of the problem limited the
depth and width of girders. and the
character of loading added to the
complications. The young man in
question forgot his executive duties at
once and worked both day and night
for two weeks on his slab and beam
platform. The result was a uniouie
and original solution for maximum
economy. a saving of perhaps thirty
five dol1ars-and his ultimate transfer
to the drafting room.=Leonard NJ.
