Many Cars In
Beauty Race

New York, Feb. 3.-Blue prints and
greasy gears were no more popular at
| the seventeenth annual New York
automobile show. recently closed at
drand central palace. than receipts
ana cooking utensils would be on the
| table at fashionable banquet.
me race FOR popularity among the
various cars exhibited soon narrowed
ltseif down to contest of good looks
and the attendant attributes that 20 to
make up the sum-totaled thing called
beauty In motor cars. Taking their
cue from what the auto show barom-
eter registered manufacturers expect
the coming motor season to be one OF
nation wide favoritism for style AMI
luxury. The manufacturer whose ONLY
claim Is that Of utility will find an
unresponsive audience in the United
States this year according to these
prophets.
MUST BE WELL BUILT.
How these engineers reconcile this
popular fancy with the fact that an
automobile In reality Is a composition
or machinery Is well answered by
George M. Dickson, president of the
National company at Indianapolis, fea-
turing both six and twelve cylinder
cars; when the first cars were bought,
buyers had to make of themselves a
board of judges to decide whether the
men who built the cars knew their
business. Buying car then was
risk. Utility was the only measure.
There was no latitude to exercise per-
sonal tastes. And the motor car was
not then an integral part Of social life.
Today, certain reputable builders have
taught the public to measure a car by
what it does and not by what 1t Is:
by its performance, service, comfort
and convenience and not by a technical
analysis of It's component parts. The
public has learned that car cannot
be good unless it is built good and &C
cepts certain trade mark names as
guarantee sufficient that it is both.
Therefore having at least been relieved
of the necessity of graduating from an
engineering school in order to safely
buy a car. the public has exercised is
privilege Of searching for new styles, |
greater luxury and improvements that |
add to the convenience and comforts OF |
Perhaps the war in Europe is the
reason (although American designers
claim 1t would have been so anyway,
public favor was shown for the new
creations of American builders In pref
erence to the imported designs-Amer-
lean designers have perfected their
art and claim that 1t is an empty fall
acy that Europeans are better design
ers. Just because 1t comes from Eu-
'ope, they declare, Is no reason that it
s better.
Taken as whole, the manufacturers
made more actual sales at the show
his year than ever before. Those hav-
ng the most stylish and up to date
'ars enjoying the greatest success in
iaels.

HEARST BUYS ONE.

The sale Of an all-year car to Will
liam Randolph Hearst, the publisher,
is reported by the Pacific K.sselKar
branch of San Diego, Cal, thus adding
one more to the long list of disting-
uished people owning this type of car.
Mr.. Hearst, whose extensive inter-
ests In the west keep him in southern
California during a considerable part
of the winter, selected one of the all
year sedans. the great charm OF
which lies in Its marked Kissel indiv-
iduality.
II. S. Daniels OF the KisselKar in
mentioning Mr.. Hearst's purchase,
called attention to the fact that many
men able to buy whatever they like,
own Kissel all-year cars because they
prefer them.

HOW ENGLAND SOLVED
 THE GLASS PROBLEM

/ "All sorts of curious problems have cropped up," says Sydney Brooks in the March number of National Sers vice magazine, 'in the course of this huge enterprise G.e., the marvellous reorganization of British industry for the manufacture of munitions of war.) One was the problem of chemi- cal and optical glass. Without optical glass of the finest quality an army cannot be provided with gunsights. range finders, periscopes, and tele- scope sights for the snipers' rifles, Without chemical glass, capable of standing a very high temperature, no explosives works can get along for even a single day. For both these vital purposes our home made glass was all but useless. We depended on Germany for the best kind of optical glass and on Austria for chemical glass. What did the government do |? It first communicated every ounce of the right sort of glass to be found in the British Isles. Then it ransacked America for more. Then it put the whole problem up to the men of science and told them to discover the formulae and the methods of manu- facture in use in Germany. The men of science retired to their laboratories and in a fortnight reappeared with all the necessary information"

 ISSUES OPEN LETTER

An Open Letter:
 Feeling that personal word of ap- preciation' ought to be expressed am sending this open letter for publi- cation in the newspapers.
 We have just completed very strenuous campaign in behalf of the Bridgeport Christian Union. Great praise is due the executive committee the captains and workers for the splendid resultt of the campaign reached, we feel that in consideration of. all the handicaps $T6,O00 was a very fine showing. I want to thank each worker for his and for her splendid and persistent efforts, also the local papers, every one of which has been most gracious and given large space to the work.
 Frederick Courtenay Barber and associates, who conducted the cam paign, certainly did their part in the biggest sense of the word.
 The managers of all the theatres gave us excellent support. The man agement of the Hotel Stratfield CO., operated and assisted in every possible way The churches once more have shown their faith in the Christian Union by their works.
 Multitudes have given, varying amounts, from five cents into the thousands of dollars, and we express our grateful thanks. The amount ob- tained will mean the erection of a building, and as the days come and go we hope to prove to all our friends

STAMFORD MAN HIGHLY PRAISES
 AND IS GLAD
Mir. Emanuel Biza of Liberty St., StratfOrd, is another in- dorser of the great Herbal Tonic Lax-a-TOne-The Tonic LaX-a-Tive.

A resident of this community speaks o1t and praises Lax-a-Tone and why? Because he wants the no- toriety, do you think? A thousand times no. It is simply with a desire to help others that they do it for. The writer has received many testi- monials for Lax-a-Tone, maybe three thousand of them, and if the reason why they were given were re- vealed you would find in almost every case, gratitude and a. desire to help others. Lax-a-Tone, the first tonic in Bridgeport that was intro duced in its own peculiar manner and with success-think of it, over ninety gross sold in few months. Equal that if they can and the Lax-a- Tone Company will take off it's hat to any competitor.
 Why is Lax-a-Tone such a remedy, many people have asked. The answer Herb in it is recognized by the au- thorities to be a specific for diseases that we advertise to help. If it did not have these drugs in it, we would not dare to publish the formulae. When you buy a remedy ask the clerk to sell you the formalae; if he won't or don't know it. he is selling something that he cannot recom- mend. He may tell you that the formulate is patented. Tell him that the formulae is not patented, that che name is. Do not buy remedy that the man that sells it is afraid to publish the formulae. Lax-a-Tone has the following ingredients in it: Ask your druggist or physician if il is a good one and scientific-Gentian, Buchu, Mandrake, Yellow Dock, Senna, Licorice, Stillings, Cascara and others. MT. Biza says:
 1T have had sour, acid stomach, gas, b1oat, indigestion, and felt tired out and drowsy all the time. I have taken Lax-a-Tone and today am a we'll man; in fact never felt better in my life"
 Go to Hartigan's Drug Store and ask fora bottle of Lax-a-Tone, and if you are not satisfied just ask the clerk if the formulae printed above is not correct; also ask him if he cannot tell you of many people that have been restored to health by Lax a-Tone. Both stores have it-81 Fairfield avenue, and Main and Con- gross StreetS-Ady

THEEACLET

During the Second Empire of France the twentieth of March was celebrated as the birthday of Napo- Icons son, the King of Rome, whose brief and pathetic life history has been immortalized by Edmond Ros- tand's play, .L'Aiglon'' (The Eagalet) in which Mme. Barnhardt and Maude Adams have starred. The unfortun- ate youth was born in Paris on March 20, 1911, and died at Schonbrunn, Austria, in 1882, at the age of twenty one- His body was laid to rest in the crypt of the Hapsburgs in the Capt. chin Church and there it has remain ed in spite of several efforts made dur ing the Second Empire and later to bring about the removal of the ashes to the Invalides in Paris. In Austria the Eaglet is considered only as the son of his mother, a Hapsburg, and the suggestion that his ashes should be placed near those of his father has always met with an icy refusal.

they are huge. France knows they
are draining her very life blood. But
France refuses to think about them,
much less talk.
The French attitude has not been
one of bitterness essentially. 1t has
been almost philosophical In its
grimness. 1t is as though the repub-
lie addressed itself to the PrusAian:
You started this thing. Very we'll,
we finish it. A fair enoughearrange-
ment." Even the entry Of the Unit

RESULTS, NOT MEN.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
weaklings around Washington will
have to go in time. England found
it necessary to change cabinets 9
number of times before the strong
men in the realm came to the sur
face. France experienced the same
need.
The war department in Washing
ton is reported to be in utter con-
fusion. Perhaps even an angel could
not have avoided some confusion un.
der the circumstances which have
been created by the entrance OF
America into the war. But strong
men do not permit this condition to
continue. They get men on the job
who can do things. President Will
son should not hesitate moment to
make changes in department heads
as promptly as the need becomes ap-
parent.
The Kansas City Star notes edi-
torially in this connection the fact
that as yet no intimation has been
given as to what will be done with
Mr.. Roosevelt's proffer to serve in
any capacity desired by the Presi-
dent. He asked permission to go to
France in a minor office with a de-
tachment of volunteers. The Presi-
dent courteously refused this request
and explained that he did SO on the
advice of military men both at home
and abroad.
Roosevelt accepted this decision.
He pointed to some manifest errors
in the premises from which Mr.. Will
son deduced his conclusions, but &C
cepted the result as becomes good
soldier. But it really seems strange
that in the vast field of military
preparation no place has as yet been
found for the use of the energy and
organizing ability of this man of ac-
ton. In England, the premier, Lloyd
George, is called the Roosevelt OF
that country. In Germany the one
man who is looked upon as having
equal capacity with Roosevelt in get
ting things done is the kaiser HIM
self.
Why not give this man a job and
a chance to work himself up as he
demonstrates capacity to do things?
We have come to a place now where
we have right to demand that re-

C. o. Barr, Poet.

Webster City has long been noted
as the home of some distinguished
poets, but there is one who has for
years hid his light under bushel
basket, and it required siege OF the
smallpox few weeks ago to arouse
him to full poetic enthusiasm. The
following touching and pathetic lines
are from his pen, written while he
was under quarantine and purloined
surreptitiously from its hiding place
that it might be liberated through
the press,
Oh, you dreadful smallpox,
So cunning and so shy;
You grab one by the fore1ocks
And make him think he'll die.
You chase him to the upper room
And there alone he sits.
Thinking by another moon
He'll have million fits.
Doc says ''you little pest stay here
Until you scale from head to toe"
And then left with word of cheer.
''In two weeks I'll let you co."
So here sit or lie or walk or stand
With the pimples coming out to beat
the band.
I'm surely down and out and In the
ditch
The way the darn pimples make mo
itch.
Just itch and scratch and rub and
slide
Those darn old scales right OF my
side;
Clean them off and look for more.
Then wonder II it'll make me sore.
I shaved around some bumps and
peaks ,,
And scraped the scabs OF my cheeks.
1t looked like brush heaps on hills 20
fair:
Twas only bunch of hide and hair.
Oh solitude, where art thy charms?
With pimples and pits all over your
arms?
Give me all outdoors with sunshine
and air.
I'll play like a kitten and run like .
naEe'
