and enthusiastically behind him,

ton, and scores Of other leaders urg-

Progressive nomination and swung his
support to Charles r. Hughes.

WOMEN AND MOTOR CARS
Feminine Portion of Household Has
Much Thought in Making Choice.

The motor car manufacturer IS always
confronted with the important problem
of Just how much consideration should
be given to the buyer IN the design and
equipment Of his product P. d. Stubs,
director Of sales of the Premier Motor
corporation, presents some new and in
tercsting facts on this proposition.
If absolutely accurate figures could
be obtained upon the sales of automo-
blleS during the past year. said Mr.
Stubs, - believe that automobile
dealers and manufacturers alike would
be aStounded at the major number OF
times that the feminine portion OF the
family made the final decision. Com
paratlvely few ears are actually pGr-
chased by women, but their influence is
far reaching.
In most families, the purchase of
an automobile is real event, even if a
trade Is involved, and this happens in
approximately so per cent of the sales.
| The respective merits of each car in
he class which is decided upon are con
sidered from every angle. And the
dealer who finally secures the order must
hrst create a firm confidence in the
worth OF his car, then present those
MINOR features which often close the
{ sale. 1t would take all the supposed
gifts OF clairvoyant, III many eases,
for the dealer to really know why his
car was chosen.
FOR this reason some manufacturers
IN the past, have taken broad side shots
! IN the dark, combining certain units OF
! equipment, aimed to appeal to the cur
rent folbles Of feminine fashion and
without consideration of mechanical
value. They trusted to luck that one of
these things would make a success, pure
| ~ from sales standpoint.
! Since the electric starter took the
labor off lifting the motor over the Hill
OF compression, women have proclaimed
an equal nights bill in driving their
cars. Now, IN the Premier. the last
dl1hculty OF the woman driver has been
surrounded, that Of shifting gears. In
the Premier, gears are changed BY
touching convenient push buttons under
the steering wheel. The Cutler Hammer

patton or women from the slavery OF

America, selling for over $1,000. that
can make the change, will have an
electric gear shift; for the magnetic
gear shift is mechanically sound, prac
teal, and fool proof. Women drivers
VIII dominate the continuous stream OF
automobiles which speed over the
streets of our cities and the roads OF
America
Aside from this feature, which wa,
incorporated IN the construction OF
Premier because we were able to secure
the Oh magnetic gear shift because VIZ
were building totally new car, and not
with the sole idea of selling the Ameri
can women, there are other feature,
used by US for this same reason, which
we believe will have an especial appea

Presbyterian Church.

The values of human life are hard to
determine. There are social and spirit
ual values, also moral, mental and
money values, all of which make their
contributions To life and to the solution
of its many problems. Did you ever
try TO estimate any of these values
of human life? OF YOUR life? What
is its value TO society? Is it help or
a hindrance TO the other lives which it
touches in the busy ever day world
about you in which you live and exert
an influence? If your life is a hin.
drance to other lives then il is worse
by far than can be estimated. If your
life is neither hindrance nor help to
others. then you are not true to your
self, your opportunities and your ad-
vantages, and you need to attend the
bright. brief and brotherly services in
Dermott's popular homelike church
where people are taught to live lives
of usefulness and helpfulness according
to the standards of the Bible and Jesus
Christ; come once and you will get the
habit and continue coming.
On next Sunday there will be Bible
