Of Value in Country.

Originally considered a city vehicle,
the automobile is now more important
IN country life than anywhere else, and
the greatest sales last year have been
In the small towns and agricultural dis
trfcts
The business has not been easy, the
path of progress showing a mortality
in excess of that of any other industry
of late years. A few of the great max
ers have made big profits. but many
are having a difficult time to survive,
and in Ave years more than 400 failures
were listed on the business pages of
the automobile industry. Only good
cars have survived or can survive, be-
cause the need for quality and endur-
ance Is more pronounced in motor
car than any other article in general
use.
with this record number of cars in
use and more TO be produced, pessi-
mists are beginning to ask as to the
probable end. as they have asked each
year for the past ten.
The automobile maker, however
knows that there are over 5000, 900
farms In this country. one-half OF them
without mortgages, and that the auto
mobile must replace 10000 900 or H.
100000 horse-drawn vehicles that were
In use IN the country IN 1910. More
over, this country must supply cars to
all countries for some time to come
Danger Facing Industry.
Probably the greatest danger that
faces the automobile Is the general be
lief that makers. dealers and owners
are prosperous enough TO stand heavy
taxes. Cars are taxed to the extent of
314.ooo.ooo a year in the form of regis
trations in the various states; drivers
are taxed IN order to get drivers IL
censes TO operate cars. while Others
have a wheel tax: automobiles are tax
ed as personal property, and certain
states require costly licenses to sell
motor cars

Writer in the London Morning
Post Says Prices Are
Greater Than in U. S.
SUGGESTS A TARIFF
TO EQUAL DIFFERENCE
Cites the Case of One Manufacturer
Who, He Says, Charges 5000 More
Than in This Country.

Charges that American manufactur-
ers of motor cars are making undue
profits out of the war situation In the
English trade are brought forward in
support of general tax on imported
motor vehicles. in an article by H.
Massac BUST in the London Morning
Post. In which he says. in part:
I'm the interval since last the ques-
ton of taxing imported motor cars was
discussed in these columns, the matter
has been somewhat widely ventilated
elsewhere, with the result that gen
eral consensus of opinion seems to be
in favor of such a course. There ap-
pear. however. to be sundry misconcep-
lions as to matters of fact. Thus, one
very widely accredited idea is that the
American motor industry dumps It's
cars on this country. Than that there
can be no wider departure from the
truth. In the case of the dozen most
popular makes Of American cars on the
British market the home buyer has al
ways paid higher price for those We
hicles than the purchaser In America
Nor Is this all.
Since war broke out and the Amer
lean industry realized that it is in sole
possession of the British market. as
concerns supplying individuals. it is not
putting into force here the program for
reducing the price of 1916 models that
Is already in operation over there:
There is one very popular make of
American car that has been selling at
under $1,000. the 1916 model of which
has been on the British market for
some weeks. and is being sold in Amer
lea $65 cheaper than the 1915 pattern.
There was. however, no reduction in
the price of this model when it came
to be introduced to the British market.

Means $500, 900 Extra Profit.

yet this advance in price to the
British customer on that very small
proportion of his years production will
represent over 100000 extra profit to
him. The shares of his concern appre-
ciated 10 per cent in value between
New Year day and July. There is there
fore no question whatever Of our in
juring either the American motor max
err or the British local trader who deals
In his goods by the imposition of a tax
on the importation of American cars on
precisely the same scale-45 per cent
that America charges the European in
dustry for sending cars to the United
States.

SUJBJECTION OF BODY
TO SPIRIT A DUTY
Theme of the Rev. DR.. John
Mockridge in Lenten
Discourse

Views about the human body have
always nodded human thought and especi-
ally religious thought, according to the
Rev. John Mockrldge, d. D., of st. James
Church, who spoke today at the MONDAY
Lenten services in the GarriclS Theatre.
Doctor Mockrdge took for his text st.
Paul's words: 81 keep under my body and
bring in into subjection
"'Let us eat and drink for tomorrow
we die becomes a serious philosophy"
the speaker said, "if. like the ancient
Greeks. we think that the life of the
body is the true life. And to find, as an
the spirit, is to go from bad philosophy
to a worse. Yet there are those who
preach Christianity. as though it said
just this The narrow Sabbatarian who
thinks it right to have a sacred concert
in his church on Sunday and wrong for
people to listen to beautiful music in a
hall on Sunday, thinks so on the basis or
this false theoretical idea of the material
as the seat of evil.
Christ knew no such teaching. To Him
the body was the medium of the spirit, and
His Church. when she asserts that He was
born of the Virgin Mary, is 'contending for
the truth that ther is in human physical
nature nothing that made it incapable of
union with the divine st. Paul is driving
this home when he urges us to struggle
for mastery over the body. If il is evil,
the thing to do with it is not to discipline
it, but to destroy i. But because it can
be, by discipline, made to fulfil its great
purpose of giving uterance to the Spirit,
therefore, to keep under the body and
bring in into subjection, becomes a part
of that winning of His Kingdom-the
great adventure of every man"

lstic party observed "children's day"
More than 1000 youngsters of all ages
attended, including several troops of Boy
Scouts in uniform, and large delegations
from the schools of Norwood Glenolden,
Lansdowne, Collingdale. Fernwood, Sharon
Hill and West Philadelphia. There was
also a large attendance of men and women.
But the Riddles" were given the right
of way and occupied the centre benches
in the tabernacle.
Evangelist William p. Nicholson spoke
briefly to the boys and girls, and was
given a rousing reception by the young
people They cheered him when he start
ed to speak, and time after time made the
big wooden building ring school and Scout
yels, after he had finished. Stories told
by the evangelist in his broad brogue
brought laughter and tears to the chill
dren; and then lie cunningy led them
from the humorous to the serious, and
told them of the love of Christ, so that
all left the temple with lessons of honesty
truthfulness and Kindness fresh in their
minds.
But there was another special attrac-
tion at the tabernacle for the boys and
girls, and il was a big surprise to them.
The Rev. DR.. c. H. WoOlstOn, pastor of
the East Baptist Church. Kensington, who
entertained the children in rile Billy
Sunday tabernacle in this city several
times last winter was present to help
make their visit both enjoyable and bene-
flcial. In his interesting way he gave them
an illustrated Bible lecture, using Colored
cardboard and paper vividly to portray
the points he desired to impress upon his
young hearers. They gave him a rousing
reception and several lusty cheers.
Prof ]. r. Hemminger's Sunshine Choir
did itself proud during the services pre-
ceding the addresses by the evangelist and
Doctor Wooston. For weeks Professor
Hemminger had been drilling the boys and
girls for today's meeting, and they were
applauded heartily by the ''grown-ups" and
visitors when they sang several selections
and gave one song without the assistance
of Lance 3. Latham, the accompanist Mrs
Hemminger has Joined the party, She ar
rived last night from Milton, where she

LIES RESPONSIBILITIES
Dynamics of Christianity Discussed
by the Rev. Mr.. Warden

Man is not selSng for theory or phil
osophy. but wants to know both as they
apply in human life" was the assertion
of the Rev. Frederick A. Warden, of Nor
ristown, who preached the MONDAY Lenten
sermon at Old Christ Episcopal Church,
Cd street above Market, today. The Rev.
Mr. Warden is rector of the Old Trinity
Episcopal Church at Moorestown, which
was organized nearly a century ago He
spoke on "Christ-the Life and Light of
Man"
Life and light are inseparable to
man, and both are the unceasing need of
humanity" the speaker declared, Christ
teaches the dynamics of Christianity
what to be rather than what to know.
Pontius Plate declared of Him that He
was the only perfect Man he ever met
Christ supplies both light and life to
humanity"
The Rev. Mr. Warden compared the
popularity of the moving pictures with
that of the staid art galleries, showing
how man is only concerned with the real
ties of life rather than with theories.
