BUYS FOR UNCLE SAM

By an act Of congress a commit
tee was established In 1910 to prepare
specifications, receive the proposals
OF bidders and to award contracts for
government supplies. This committee
is known as the general supply COM
mittee and consists of representatives
from the executive departments and
federal commissions. DR.. o. H. Briggs
was made superintendent of the COM
mittee. His duties are detailed and
manifold. He was formerly superin-
tendent Of supplies at the post office
de artment.
BY means Of the committee
wider range of business is done than
is handled by any other corporation
in any country In the world. One of
the first rules is efficiency. and eff
cheney In their particular line means
economy. Economy for the United
States government means close buy
ing Of all its supplies.

eral supply committee has materially as

DOES YOUR MEAT COST
=" TOO MUCH?
- = =
OF course, you are paying more for
your beefsteak than ever before: In
deed, you are paying more for meat
than people generally have ever paid
in the whole history of the world!
The big question is:
Is it right that you should be pay
ing so much as you are?
Perhaps it is; perhaps the costs of
producing your steak have become
so high that it can't be sold to you
for less.
AGAIN, perhaps if, is NOT right;
perhaps your meat can be sold a
great deal cheaper than it is being
sold.
What is the TRUTH about this
matter?
The Day Book decided to FIND
OUT-a thing no one has yet done.
So one of our star writers and fact
gatherers, H. P. Burton, is conduct
ing a rigid inquiry into the whole
imeat situation right here in Chicago,
the meat center of the world. Bur
ton is working not to muckrake, but
to get THE FACTS and nothing else.
He is going to find out if ANYONE
is really to BLAME for the hi Oh meat
costs, the cornerstone Of the whole
high cost of living. And, if anyone
is, he will fix the blame where it BE-
LONGS.

It is said that in some school
buildings in North Dakota the
omnipotent superintendent posi-
lively refuses to allow the win
dows ever to be opened. He con-
siders the patent ventilating sys-

allowed to interfere.
Somebody ought to take that

a failure practically all of the
patent ventilating systems are.

CHRISTMAS GRATITUDE

Do we think enough about
saying THANK you" at Christ
mas? We hurry and rush
through the busy days before
Christmas, and then when
Christmas actually comes we put
off the mood of giving and sit
down intent upon the culmina-
ton of our effort, which is
reached when we receive. We
take what sometimes
eagerly, sometimes with a dis
appointed shrug-Dut we take
what comes, do we not, and are
we always prompt to give our
thanks?
A certain benevolent lady said
last year, 81 gave thirty-eight
presents this Christmas and re-
ceived only nine letters IF
thanks" This seemed dreadful
beyond words. "And what of
the others" | fastened to ask.
"Some of them thanked me when
we next met" she said careless
ly, land some of them never
thanked me at all. You know"
she added after a pause, zone
Of the hardest things to do is
to give thanks graciously. Some
people can never do it. It is the
distinct mark of high breeding.
I don't suppose any one but a
king or a princess has really the
perfect art of saying THANK
you It is a mark of good
breeding to be prompt and gra-
cious in giving thanks.
Even if the gift is a pincush-
ion and you already have nine
ty-nine others, say ''Thank YOU
sweetly, affectionately and in
the spirit of Christmas. Do not
let twenty-four hours pass by
without taking sufficient time to
write an appreciative, affection
ate little note to every one who
has remembered you at Christ
mas time. Though this may be
looked upon as a duty to others,
it is far more than that; it is a
duty to yourself, a very real
duty, for to be discourteous is
to be selfish, and to be selfish is
to be outside of many of life's
keenest joys. AS a matter OF
self training, if for no other rea.
son, say ''Thank you" as quick.
ly and attractively and sincere
ly as you can.

Cadillac "Eight"
Makes New Record
Regular Stock Car Makes Mile
in p 2-5 Seconds, Seven Miles
Than Worlds Record,
Made in 1911

When Claude Nolan stripped
his Cadillac Eight demonstration
last week for a try out at At
lantic Beach, he little realized
that it would establish a new
worlds record for a mile made
by a regular stock car of the
Fights class.
During the convention here of
all the Southern dealers, a dem
onstrating car was tuned up,
body taken off and wire wheels
put on and taken to the beach
for a try out. Mr.. J. F. Leon
ard, chief mechanic at Nolan's,
drove the car.
A mile was carefully meas
ured off on the beach and stop
watches were used at both ends
to get the exact time. Repeated
tests showed that the car had a
most remarkable speed and the
best time made averaged SO IA
miles per hour, making the mile
in 81 2-5 seconds.
Mr.. Nolan was SO positive that
it beat the worlds record, that
he Immediately wired the Motor
World for official information re-
garding the best time ever made
with such a stock car. The reply
was even a greater surprise than
was expected. 1t stated that the
official best time ever made with
stock car with sol to $50 GU
bic inch piston displacement was
1892 seconds for the mile or an
average of 1929 miles per hour.
This record was made in 1911
by the famous racing driver
"Howdy" Wilcox. This, when
made officially, would give the
Cadillac Eight the distinction
of being the fastest stock car
in the world, by being Z miles
faster per hour than the record
made by Wilcox.
This record will be one of the
greatest of all advertisements
for the Cadillac Eight that was
ever published, and Mr.. Nolan
at once saw the possibilities anc
began arrangements to have the
Automobile Association make
) the record official. The record
of 1922 made by Wilcox was
even beaten when two were rid
ing in the car repeatedly after
the first tests were made, wher
several of the dealers took ride
One of the most remarkable
things noticed during the rur
was the action of the Moto-Me-
ter, which records the heat OF
the car and is attached on the
radiator cap. This was actually
. witnessed by the writer who was
riding in one of the tests. While
the car was standing still with
. the motor running the red liquio
, in the Moto-Meter was normal
which indicated safety in heat
The minute the car started or
it's wild run the liquid com
menced to drop until it was en-
| tirely out of sight, which indi
| Gated the motor extra cool. This
, sounds almost unreasonable OF
account of the motor being
, speeded up to the limit, and i
, ever a car would get hot it woul(
certainly do so under those con
, ditions. The fan was entirely
taken off to try and help get thu
motor warmed up, but the sam'
