The motorcar salesman's lack Of
Judgment cost him a sale He was
trying to sell a professional man a
machine, but he handed out the wrong
kind Of talk and "queered" the deal.
Els prospective customer had been in
two or three serious motorcar acct
dents while out riding with friends
and really was just bit timid about
riding In machine. although to please
his family he had just about made up
his mind to buy one. The motorcar
man. with much giibness and effec-
dveness, presented the various virtues
OF his car. "Just hook at the axle" he
said. when you get in smashup
that axle. unlike many Others, VIII not
break, but will bend and SO can be re
paired without mach expense"
This unfortunate argument spoiled
the sale. It aroused the sense Of fear
ashSch the professional man had when
riding In machine, and be told the
salesnan that he guessed he would not
place his order for a machine at that
time. Columbus Dispatch.

The hands and the intellect are the
chief distinguishing marks between the
human and the beast. The human in
teilect conceives great things, but there
must be human hands to execute them.
The connection between intellect and
hands has been a subject of much
study. with little definite conclusion.
Many have ats1cked the question of
whether or not the hands have an In
stinct whereby they do things without
the Intellect A justified conclusion il
that, If the hands do not have an In
sdnct, they have an uncanny and yery
direct contact with the brain which
works SO Unexpectedly that the hands
seem TO have an instinct for doing
things without being told to do so.

London.-A strong current OF public
sentiment opposed to the German
peace proposal was evident in the ex-
pressions Tuesday night, both from
the public men and the British press,
although these were without any word
from high authoritative sources indi-
eating the attitude of the government.
1t was noticeable that the proposal
had not created any profound impress
sion among the average Londoners.
There was little talk In the hotels or
other public places.
Government circles also held aloof
from any discussion. The foreign Of
fee would make no comment, in the
absence OF the terms, but indicated
that the British attitude, up TO the
present, was embodied In the declara-
tions made from time to time by the
former Premier and Viscount Grey,
and that any new proposals would
have to be considered by all the en-
tente allies before definite attitude
was possible.

All Germany's lost colonies she ex-

government is understood to be ready
to relinquish the claim of Kiauchau.
The security OF Turkey in possess

alton OF Albania.
The establishment of independent
kingdoms In Lithuania and Poland.
Domination of Mesopotamia by Ger
many and Austria, to give them a path
to the Persian gulf and break Eng

from Serbia as much territory as she

Germany's Proposal Breaks Chains

Washington. Germanys proposal
for peace is regarded here as having
broken the chains which for months
have restrained the United States, as
well as other neutrals. from making
offers OF mediation.
Now that one set of belligerents has
signified its willingness to discuss
peace terms--a condition often reiter-
ated as necessary to any action by
President Wilson-there are indica-
tiOns that when the United States,
acting as the intermediary. transmits
the German proposal. it may accom-
pany its action by some steps to throw
the influence Of the United States into
the balance for at least a considera-
ton, however preliminary, of the
terms on which lasting peace might
be brought to the world. Some rank
ing officials OF the American govern.
ment believe a league of nations, such
as President Wilson has suggested,
must be the outcome. and 1t could not
be perfected without the participation
