work that is in them are Just as low
priced as the cheaper cars. You
pay for what you get and get what
you pay for in most instances, and
the seeker for expensive body work,
luxurious trimming and great fine-
ness of detail does not expect to get
It for a few hundred dollars.
What the limits are to the devel-
opment and sale Of the motor car no
one knows. Good judges say that
this country can use $4,000, 900 cars,
which would mean about one to
every family. The farmer Is the i'm
portant factor in reaching this total,
and the West Is fast becoming the
best territory for sale. .
Whatever the prospect, we have
not really reached the limit either
In the matter of sales, the matter Of
low price, or the matter Of per-
feet efficiency. The competition Of
manufacturers assures US Of prog
ress along all these lines.

AFEW AUTOMOBILE FIGURES

With fourteen different makes Of
automobiles priced below $500, and
with other low priced cars constantly
appearing on the market, this coun-
try is fast outstripping every other
section of the world as a nation of
automobile owners.
It Is estimated that the end Of this
year will find a total of 100000
cars owned in the United States with
a value of $4,000, 100000. No other
product approaching in unit value
the automobile has ever been sold in
such quantities. One citizen in every
twenty-five owns a car.
What has made possible this re-
markable record? Price! What has
made possible the price? Intensity
of production! No industry in the
world unless it be the manufacture
of munitions in the war countries ap-
proaches the remarkable efficiency in
the automobile industry. Nor is this
confined ID the manufacture of cheap
cars. The high priced cars. for the
detail the material. the machine

CRITICISM IN CANADA

Secretary Baker is not the only
war Office executive who Is being SUBJ
jected to criticism. Some Of the
Canadian newspapers are taking
72-centimeter shots at the men who
are responsible for military condi-
tions and management in that coun-
try. They charge that tons of ma
terial shipped from Canada abroad
have been thrown on the junk pile be-
cause of ill-judged selection. Hun
dreds of Canadian wagons shipped to
France have never been used be-
cause they do not fit the roads
there. A very great number of
Canadian officers and men after
being transported to England have
been turned back as unfit by the
medical corps. And altogether it is
charged that the waste and ineffi-
cheney are such as to be inexcusable.
II would seem that q war depart
ment officials life "is not a happy

cente Aldanese. the first native to
get an executive position in the
Bureau Of Customs. Another change
makes Jose Escaler the first assist
ant director in the Bureau Of Edu-
cation, and Joaquin de Luna gov
ernor Of a province.
These changes are likely to be fol-
lowed by many more, for 1t is esti-
mated that 90 per cent Of the Ameri-
can officials entitled to retirement
under the act above referred to will
make application. It is an excellent
opportunity to try out the abilities
of ambitious Filipinos and determine
in a safe and practical way whether
these people are truly ready to un-
dertake their own affairs and gov
ern themselves.

PROGRESSIVE KANSAS

It is not surprising that it is III
Kansas that the first woman is
nominated by major party to rep
resent a Congressional district in
the Congress Of the United States.
Kansas has been first in so many
crazy ideas that have subsequently
become orthodox throughout the
country that we have ceased to mar
vel. Kansas was the hotbed of that
queer political element of the early
nineties that advocated such wild
heresies as direct election of United
States Senators, the initiative and
referendum, the income tax, and
other peculiar doctrines which have
caused two populist parties to bloom
where one died ablooming and none
bloomed before. Kansas produced
the allegedly sockless one, surnamed
Jerry. Kansas produced Carrie Ma
ton. Kansas had the first woman
mayor. Kansas turned out Fred
Funston. Kansas is sixty years old
and no longer wears beard, but
buzzes through the wheat fields in
jitneys and six-cylinders, but it con-
tinues to think about three jumps
ahead of all the rest of us.

NORTHEAST SUBURB NEEDS
NEW SCHOOL

Among the many items in the Dis
trict appropriation bill on which the
two houses of Congress have dis
agreed there is one that should not
become a bone of contention. 1t is
the appropriation Of 100000 for a
new grade school building for Lang
don and Woodbridge, that thriving,
progressive suburban section of
northeast Washington. Three years
ago Congress made an appropriation
for a site for new school and two
years ago the Commissioners pur-
chased magnificent tract of two
blocks. Langdon- Woodbridge now has
an eight-room school, with maxi
mum capacity of 400. There are
today more than 600 children of
school age in the territory contigu-
Gus to the existing school, and by
the time the new school is ready for
use the number will be considerably
larger. ~
When the appropriation for the
site was obtained the citizens of
Langdon and Woodbridge predicted
an increased school population that
would exceed the capacity of the
old school. Their prophecy has come
true, and now they are predicting an
increase over their original esti-
mates. Having been justified by sub
sequent events in their first predic-
tion, they are entitled to consider
alton today.
The Senate has passed the item.
Even if the House is not convinced
by the population figures submit
ted by the people of the suburb, it
might consider the economy of leav-
ing good site unused while addi-
tional expense and inconvenience are
imposed on the school system by
overcrowding the old school and upon
the people of the neighborhood who
have to pay car fare to send their
children to other buildings.

A GREAT SURGEON GONE

The death of DR.. John B. Murphy
at Mackinac Island, Mich, yester-
day removes from the field Of human
affairs one of the most constructive
factors Of the present generation.
DR.. Murphy was one Of those intel
lects possessed Of the daring and in
dependence Of the crusaders Of old.
He defied medical conventions and
usage, ard with his scalpel en-
graved his name on the pages Of
surgical history as he was remaking
the worn and dismembered bodies Of
his suffering fellow-citizens.
A quiet man, but man Of positive
ideas and indomitable will, he applied
common sense to surgery and re-
duced to simple solutions many
problems his professional associates
had made complicated by their fail
ure to apply simple rules Of nature.
DR.. Murphy once said that surgery
was simply a sublime application of
the combined principles Of carpentry
and plumbing. He applied the divine
principle Of "if thy right hand offend
thee, cut it off," by not only cutting
it of, but almost literally fitting the
unfortunate person with a new hand.
He was the frst to use the sys-
TEN Of bone transplanting from one
portion Of the body to another, OF
one person to another, which has
been hailed as such a marvel OF
surgery since the beginning Of the
European war. He invented the re-
markably simple "glove button
method Of jointure for intestines, in
order to permit the cutting out OF
diseased portions and joining the
ends.
Beyond everything else DR.. Muir.
ply was an American and gloried
in his country and it's greatness. He
was member Of all of the learned
societies having to do with the medi.
cal profession Of this country and
Europe. Simple, direct, and won.
derfully sure in his methods, he made
surgery not only corrective, but
highly constructive, and left legacy
for his fellow surgeons far more
valuable to humanity than all the
wealth of Christendom.

HONOR TO TENANT

Elevation Of Under Secretary

LONDON. Aug. l2.-Eievation Of the
Right Hon. II. J. Tenant to cabinet
rank as secretary Of state for Scotland
Is. In the opinion OF all his fellow mem
bers OF the House Of Commons, without
regard to party. most thoroughly de-
served.
Brother OF Mrs. Asquith, wife Of the
premier. there were many In the ante
oellum days who considered his inclusion
In the government as a piece Of rank
nepotism. But since the war the man
ner In which he has conducted himself
as under secretary of state for war
mas silenced that criticism and 1t is un-
grudgingly admitted he Is one of the
duced.
Though his Christian names are Har-
old John. he is known to every one as
Jack. Kitchener was a great man in
inchee: remnant carries his qualities
IN tabloid form. causing him to be dub

AS under secretary of state for war
ne was the governments representative
OF the war office In the House of Com

onerous task Of answering innumera Die
questions and placating the angry critics
OF the institution In Whitehall, OF whom
thtrc were more than a few.
Answered Houses Questions.
Mr. Tennant has given some 1000
replies TO questions In the House of
Commons. and he confesses to having
made only one erroneous answer. He Is
pathetic over that one crooked eve lamb
ot mistake. but he puts back his
shoulders and directs attention to the
merits Of the other 3,999, and the House
cheers.
Whatever error was perpetrated a,
the war office was laid on the doorstep
Of Mr. Ttnnant and he had to be ie-

The thing that impressed everybody in
the House was that such little fellow
his popularity was the fact he never lost
his temper: Thirdly, the House enjoyed
his exquisite sarcasm.
Tenant a Modest Man.
Most under secretaries put on airs.
Only cabinet ministers can permit them
selves to be modest. Jack Tenant put
on airs in the hazy days of pre-war
times. but since the war he has be-
come the most kindly hammered min
lister, whose soft answers turned aside
the weapons Of his questioners.
One burly politician OF no great repu-
| tation demanded that he be allowed to
send some fragrant instances of war Of
fce stupidity to the right honorable
gentleman.
''Oh. certainly" Tenant replied with
a smile and bow Nothing will give
me greater pleasure than to receive the
assistance and advice of my honorable
| friend whom the House recognizes to bt
an authority" The house roared.

WHAT he MEANT

Senator Lewis, dredging for ideas,
brought up the question Of what the
President meant by his expression
'too proud to fight" His explana-
ton is ingenious without being in
the least convincing. In "The Vir-
Rinian" one Of the characters applies
to another a name not used in good
society, but just after using the ex-
preston he smiled and that in the
habit of the West indicated that he
didn't mean what he said. The trou-
Sle with the President was that he
ueyer smiled.

an enormous bunch Of Black Eyed Su-

while picking blackberries she saw
some flowers lust a little way away
and 80 engrossed did she become In
how fast the time had flown.

who have been similarly honored, ex-

And after supper DIR. Richardson be-
came the center OF the entire colony
at the camp. Seated in the pavilion
with the mothers and children around
him In a circle. he told "scary ghos,

attention, only speaking in whispers
during the entertainment. and when
It was over crept in huddled groups

appeared, and before DR.. Richardson
left. many OF the youngsters broke
the rules and creeping from their
tents pleaded with him to come agin
