NEW CARS ECONOMICAL,
SAYS A LOCAL DEALER
Upkccp and Running Cost OF Zoo"
Cars Cheaper Than
Wornout Ones.

"Often you hear someone remark
about so-and-so's extravaganza in puy-
ing n new ear when, in fact, the new
car is a true response to the nauonai
cry for saving, said O. Halliburton,
local salesman for the National SIX
and twelve cylinder motor cars.
"The upkeep and running cost OF
many cars Is now so low that not
only is investment in new car otteh
q means of saving but the saving Is
SO great that first cost becomes a
minor consideration.
"The average auto owner only re-
Gently has appreciated the close re-
lationship each part of car bears
to every other part. Every moving
part of car, for instance, affects,
one way or the other, the tire and
gasoline mileage. It Veems FAR
cry. but an inferior brake has often
been found to he responsible for re-
pair bills for the auto top. Quality OF
motor action, suspension, tires, con-
struction balance, boiling. fitting, all
have their part in vibration and
shock-there's a distinct relation be-
tween spring quality and the wind
shield and between the timing ap-
paratus and the possibility of re-
pairs to the differential.
All oi WHl'n leauS W tie SSeh'IHs
anomaly that cars sometimes regarded
as luxurious owe much of their
luxury to painstaking construction,
tested materials and high mechanical
skill. The stronger smoother, and
more luxurious riding car is made,
the slower its depreciation and lower
the cost of upkeep and mileage.
Meanwhile, economy Is served in
another direction by a new car by
its wider range of action. A new
car may so far overcome the limita-
tons of an older one that added earn
ing capacity or other useful purposes
alone may pay for the difference"

each individual under the hearing of
his voice. and create within them II
new determination TO live and act
honestly in the future. May God

DEALING WITH CIGARETTES.

DEALING WITH CIGARETTES.
Is the present anti-cigarette law
accomplishing any good purpose? If
not, could it not be replaced by a
less drastic law that would accom-
plish a good purpose? The questions
come naturally into the current dis.
cusSion of the ACCESSIBILITY of drop.
ping or amending useless laws now
on the Tennessee statute books.
Under existing law all sales of eli
garettes or cigarette materials are
forbidden. 1t is u sweeping prohibi.
ton. and so far as common observa-
ton goes, there is no pretense of its
general enforcement. In Nashville as
in all the larger cities of the state
earnest efforts we're made to enforce
the law. They were finally given
over through discouraged conviction
that the task was impracticable. In
all the larger towns cigarettes are
sold almost openly. In some of the
smaller towns ready-made cigarettes
are not procurable, but the markings"
are everywhere accessible. There is
not community in Tennessee in
which cigarettes are not smoked
freely every day his form, of
smoking has increased IN p9" .,arity
greatly within the last de,3le. Any
hygienist will agree t-at coutinuOus
consumption of tobaCr, e.. anv form
is injurious. Whether moderate in
diligence in c..,m cite smoking is
more harmful than any Other form
of indulgence IN nicotine is a ques.
ton over which there is some de-
bate Whichever the answer may be.

Whatever may be the fact as TO the

all authorities agree that any indul.

of trying to impose a sweeping han
on cigarettes, why not actually ell
force ban on all sales of tobacco
to minors? A regulation by which
dealers are licensed to sell all forms
of tobacco to adults, the license t
