Books and magazines could be

One can start a sort of inteIli-
gence office where busy mothers
can secure temporary service from
other motherly and experienced wo-
men.
Chaperones can be provided wnen

totally ignorant of household du-
ties can secure practical help and
instruction from one who has learn

experience.
The Sunset Club can be a great
Clearing House where those who
have can share whatever they have
with those who have not, and a
dignified exchange of experience
and ability on one side can balance
the purchasing power others are
fortunate enough to possess.
Already many are responding to
the idea.
One dear woman in Brooklyn is
offering her home, herself, and her
ability to start a center where any
one can ask for advice and en-
couragement. Another in Philadel-
phia offers her home, for club use.
Where letters may be sent, where
meetings may be held.
They also offer rooms TO a few
resident members for a moderate
sum, and hopes it will be an exam
pie for many Others.
Already many are writing to ask
about it.

is another VINO is starting with the

Idaho tells of the intention to start
club.

no one need hesitate.

THE SUNSET CLUB

The object of the Sunset Club
is to give opportunity for Sympa
thetic encouragement and cO-Opera-
ton to those of Three Score and
More, or those approaching that
age whose pressing duties are lifted
from their shoulders, whose unac-
customed leisure seems almost I'M
welcome.
But they can find great oppor-
tunities in the outside world, where
their talent and ability and eX-
perience will be appreciated; and
it is the effort of the Sunset Club
to show them tae way to reach those
waiting opportunities.
It's sole object is to assist these
older ones to greater personal and
financial independence.
1t is broad enough to reach any
one, any where.
1t is to consist of small groups
of congenial people who meet at
will, for the persuit of mutual plea
sure or profit, and who will reach
out to help others elsewhere to do
the same
Like the well known chain let
ters it spreads from the few II
many, for the simplicity appeals to
all.
Wherever the 1.-TWO Or Three are
gathered together" the work grows.
Even "One" can start the club
going, if she has the time, and is
willing to give her thought and
strength to the work. and the re-
suits viii be to her own credit, and
under her own control, she can 90
ahead and accomplish things in
her own way, 50 they GET RE
SUITS.
Let the intellectual ones get to-
gether to enjoy the Feast of reason
and the Flow of Soul -
Let those rich and happy spend
of that riches and their joy, to give
to others, not in tne way of charity.
but of loving kindness.
Let those VINO are sick for SYM
pathy, be put in touch with those
who have all Sood things to spare,
and a heart full of sympathy.
There can be Clubs for the lone
ly, whether they are all alone in
the world. or "out in families"
Industrious ones can meet and in
struct each other in the mysteries
of fancy work, or, encourage eff
forts toward making useful things
1t can be a silverhaired sisternood
permeated with love and sympathy
and kindliness.
One generously disposed can find
a vent for that great virtue, by get
ting in personal touch with those
who need just what she nas to give
and who may reciprocate by giving
her clearer insight into the lives
round her
Those VINO are friendless and
homeless can eventually find spot
to call their own, for we hope soon
to have many places where shelter
and food can be provided at small
cost, and the means to pay for it
put into their hands, earned through
their own efforts.

 A new policy on used cars sold is being adopted. too, says Bob Lees. Every used car sold must absolutely satisfy the owner He has three days to try out his car, and if he is not satisfied we refund the full purchase price.

MOTOR DICTOGRAPH
 CADILLAC FEATURE
Enclosed Car Passenger Can Talk to Chauffeur From Any Position Within the Car

The popular idea Is that the dicto-
 graph is mysterious sort of instru- ment whose use is confined solely to the detection of crime by recording for de- tectives the conversations of criminals But the Cadillac Motor Car company has found other and more pleasant uses for the dictograph.
 This little device is part of the equip
 ment of all Cadillac chauffered Vehi-
 ;les Through it the owner or passen-
 ger within the car communicates with the chauffeur
 The dictograph, as installed in the Cadillac, is exceedingly unobtrusive. A little plate set in the side of the body
 flush with the upholstering, takes the
 place of the black tube and transmitter
 of the old fashioned speaking tube. Be-
 side the transmitting plate are two small buttons
 buzzer outside attracts the chauffeur's s
 attention. Then the other button IS
 pressed, and the line of communication
 to the chauffeur is open. The driver IS
 not obliged to place a receiver to his ear---the passengers voice comes to him

Bulgaria Would Get Out
 of War While She Has
 Much of Stolen Property

London, October 3o.-(By Mail.)-Diplo-

 kan states in London and Paris have
 lately issued warnings against an ef- fort which they alleged Bulgaria is mak- ing to get out of the war while she is still in possession of a considerable quantity of other peoples property.
 The Bulgarian reply to the papal peace note indicates in a yelled way the Bull garian aims, declaring engmatically that the Bulgarian government will support all proposals for peace which do not | run counter to the vital interests of the 1 Bulgarian nation and its unity.''
