Why Should a Young Man Vol- unteer in the Regular Army or National Guard When the Selective Draft is Coming?

Because your President and Governor ask you to.
 Because Connecticut, your own state, is woeful1y short of it's quota in these two branches of the service.
 Because your state, a leader in every past war, and a leader in this war up to the present moment, has a proud record to live up to. r--. % 1 %- -.e. Because volunteers for the regular army and National Guard are credited to your home town and the draft from that town correspondingly reduced.

Paw Perkins is showing to great ad- vantage the three best bets in auto mobile offerings, according to his view point at the new home, 412 Twenty first street. south. Mir Perkins is hay ing a great run on his Grant Six at present and describes this car as the best buy in automobiledom, looking at 1t through the moderate priced lens, considering the appearance, perform ance, stability and low cost of upkeep.
 "All the pleasure that any car can give you at about half the cost is what Father Perkins says with emphasis.
 But if you want to hear Mir. Perkins grow eloquent, see him steady down to perfect control and hump up to high, ask him about the Stutz I did and here's his line:
 "The stutz is strong, sturdy car. It has a reputation as a fighter. It has never known a knockout, and sell dom felt the sting of defeat. The race course has been it's cradle Racing has accelerated the development of the au- tomobile. Among American made and European cars the name Stutz undoubt- edly stands re-eminent on the race course.

.STUDEBAKER AGENT . IS NOT IN FEAR OF
 GASOLINE SHORTAGE
R. D. Maxwell Believes in Moderation, But Does Fear Severe Scarcity
 in Near Future

There isn't another man in the coun- try more anxious to do his bit and help Uncle sam win this var than my of Studebaker cars in Birmingham and vicinity, but 1t does rifle me consider ably to read and listen to all this hys- terical talk of gasoline conservation, Conservation seems to be the watch word of the day now-every thing is be- aig Hooverized. Sure. it's a good thing to eliminate waste in our daily life-it must be done if we are going to win the war-but let's be sensible about it.
 The suggestion that motor car pleas ure riding be discontinued or very large ly curtailed, as a means of conserving the gasoline supply, is as ill-advised as it is indefensible. It comes from no source of authority, nor does it carry the weight of conviction. It is wholly in line with the now dliscredited, untenable tendency to place motor cars in the class of luxuries that can be dispensed with.
 BELIEVES IN MODERATION
 But don't misunderstood me. I hearti ly agree that this is the time of all times to use caution and moderation ill all things Careful use of gasoline most assuredly will tend to make available for war purposes most certain. if not in exhaustible supply. But there is nothing whatever in the present situation that warrants the belief that there will be a shortage of gasoline. The National Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce, an asso- oiation of undisputed authority in all matters pertaining to the automobile, bears me out in this assertion
 Tn calculable harm can be done by creating false impression in this direc- ton. The reasonable use of motor car is not an extravaganza in any sense of the world. It is a part of the sane, healthful outdoor life of every commun- ity. To eliminate the motor car from the daily routine of the American family at this time would do more harm than good. When tires tuation becomes so strained, if it really does, that larger conservation of gasoline is necessary, we doubtless shall be so advised by sources, the authority of which cannot be ques- toned"

 Stanley thinks 4d car is an auto mobile, and won't admit that he has been chloroformed. He says that Ed Crawford has given him a line that would sell anything from knitting nee- dle to a steam engine, to say nothing of 4d cars. He expects to sell 100000 a year, which he will do; you ask him every time you sec him how many he has sold and he will tell you, so get out your notebook and add up the total in 12 months, and I will bet a gallon of gas that he has rounded out I,00o,0oo- and he will get away with 1t. too-for his answer will be that they have not been delivered because they could not get 'em.
