STRADFORD SIX 51
 ISATTRACT|VE GAR
New Model Retains Attrac- tive Features of Paige Car
 With Other Improvements

The Paige Stradford Six "51" Is be- ing shown in the exhibit of Lawrence Pennington. local distributor of the Detroit Motor company, at the auto mobile show
 This is one of the most attractive cars exhibited at the show and Is something new in Birmingham
 While it retains. every feature of design and construction to which Paige owes it's good reputation, it possesses many new improvements and extra features that distinguish this model for excess value,' said MT. Pen nington.
 "The wheelbase has been increased to 127 inches, which means that com fort and convenience for the occupants will be even better than before. The additional length means deeper seats, more leg room and 8 car of better roadability.
 '"The springs, both front and rear, have been increased in length. Im- agine, if you can, an improvement in the riding comfort of the Paige can tilever suspension. But the longer springs do give greater ease over all kinds of roads. Operating on the pen- dulum principle, the longer springs have slower motion when going over rough roads, giving a sensation as of yacht gliding smoothly over the water
 "The equipment of this model leaves absolutely nothing to be desired and no other car on the American market under $2000 Is as complete--a power air pump; a Boyce motometer for the cooling system; leather door flaps to guard the pain; oversize tires on all four wheels for tire economy and cas- fer riding-a windshield rubber strip, an improved license bracket; a great ly improved tire carrier; improvement in the arrangement for oiling the rear springs suspension and so on in mafy details of the design, construction, workmanship and finish
 The Grant is also being exhibited in MT. Pennington's booth. and Is eX- pected to share honors with the Paige at the show.

 India is great jewelry wearing country. When it comes to scattering 1t around, the women favor their ears first, and their wrists second. They wear bracelets clear up to their elbows until they look like a cane rack at Old Home Week. The Hindus are afraii 10 put their money in the bank so they buy jewelry and string it on their wives. A Hindu can't lift his head and look the world in the eye if his wife. coming down the sidewalk, doesn't rat tie like milk wagon. Every time she puts up her hand to do her hair. 1t sounds as if the next number on the programme were a muscle dance
 Toes are favorite place with the HIndus for jewelry. The big toe is certain of a silver ring, and if the pocketbook holds out the envious smaller ones are sure to be remem- bered. Some of the toe-rings have tiny little bells so that when a woman walks it sounds as if the cows were In the corn on the far forty
 The women of India don't go in very much for dressing. Jewelry is about all they wear-and they wear that at lnconsplcuous points. They seem to take a personal pride in seeing how much money they can save their hus- bands on clothes; and their husbands see with how much jewelry they can surprise their wives. The Mohammedan women are very careful to keep their races covered up; it never occurs to them that other parts might need pro- lection as well. The women wear "a waist with sleeves, that comes just below the collar-bone. They have great confidence in the waist, for they feel that they don't need anything else until they get to the skirt The skirt is far removed from the collar

MOTOR TRUCK EFFICIENT

blow up a lock or the power plant to permanently disable the canal
 ''To supply this army in the field the government will have to acquire a num- Der of trucks.
 At present there are in the zone trucks enough to supply about 5000 men at a distance of 15 miles.
 Several different kinds have been tried out and the problems seems to be about the same as in the middle west in the rainy season. To be effective the truck must have a hard road and under the conditions in the zone three tons will be about the limit of load.
 So far nothing has been tried that is successful in the jungle There Is a great field here and all through Cen tral America for truck that will carry two or three tons and navigate through the muddy jungle roads.
 Here is a chance for the caterpillar traction on the four-wheel drive.
 This clever attachment is the final answer to economical hauling. and that for city delivery or country work there is positively nothing to equal this at tachment. The Smith actually cuts your delivery cost in two. It increases your territory in much less time, and Is adaptable to hundreds of different busi- nesses and is suitable to any kind of work where haulage Is a factor. It gives you more for your money than any other one-ton truck or truck attachment, and is the peer of all one-ton trucks"

David Grayson-the Nature Lover

The thousands of David Grayson's friends will be glad to know he has had another adventure with nature, and the results of the encounter are printed in the American Magazine He says:
 "The beech. trees have come at last to full leafage. The wild blackberries are ready to bloom. the swamp roses are budded. Brown planted fields I see and dropping elms, and the young crows fly from their nests on the Knoll. I know now that, whoever am whatever I do am welcome here; the meadows are as green this spring for Tom the drunkard, and for Jim the thief. as for Jonathan the parson, or for Walt the poet: the wild cherry blooms as richly and the odor Of the pine is as sweet
 At that moment. like a flame for clearness. I understood some of the deep and simple things of life as that we are to be like the friendly pines, and the elm trees and the open fields, and reject no man and judge no man. once, long time ago, I read sober treatise by one who tried to prove with elaborate knowledge that, upon the whole, good was triumphant in this world. and that probably there was God. and remember going our dully afterward upon the hills, for l was weighed down with a strange de- pression and the world seemed to me hard, cold, narrow place where good must be heavily demonstrated in books. And as I sat there the evening fell. star or two came out in the clear blue of the sky, and suddenly it came all simple to me- so that l laughed aloud at that laborious big wig for spending so many futile years In seeking doubtful proof of what he might have learned in one rare hour upon my hill. And far more than he could prove-far more"

From beneath a cur tain of white haze came series of sharp flashes -one-two--three siX-seven-one after the other With the clouds of mist above and below the bat tery seemed to be hung in the ar-sus- pended like a package of giant frecraclx- CTS exploding in a wire basket.

Walter Hale, in Harper's Magazine.
 Our escort led us through maze of old trenches. Suddenly great white light rose slowly above the Cote de Poivre and as slowly descended. Beneath it we could see illuminated as by flash of lightning, long white scar above an irregular line of black shadows that stretched across the hills. These were the French trenches from Fleury west to the Meuse." One of our star shells.- said the captain. "No. a Boche!" The

The illustration herewith shows the hood and the front running gear of the Ford car. The hood and radiator are the only external parts or this car which show changes in design from the older models so familiar in all parts of the country. The hood in the latest model is of streamline design and the brass band around the radiator shell has disappeared. No change has been made in the distinctive design of the radiator cap or in the spidery construction of the axles and springs. The name ''Ford' is stamped in the top of the radiator. but is enamelled black, the same as the rest of the radiator. so it is not distinguished easily except at close range. -NYH Special

particular aim is to deceive all those
who throughout the world stand for
the rights of peoples and the self
government OF nations, ior they see
what immense strength the forces Of
Justice and of liberalism are gathering
out of this war. They are employing
liberals i'll their enterprise They are
using men in Germany and without as
their spokesmen whom they have
hitherto ,despised and oppressed, us
ing them for their own destruction
socialists, the leaders OF labor, the
thinkers, they have hitherto sought to
silence. Let them once succeed and
the men, now their tools, will be
ground to powder beneath the weight
OF the great military empire they
have set up; the revolut;onists in
Russia will be cut off from all sue
