induced Lieutenant Commander John
Philip Sousa to moult, the bunch OF
them might give the Three Graees 4
run for their money.
The thought struck the great band
master as he watched the perform
a1lce Of Romeo and Juliet" at the
Auditorium theater.
He must have noticed that whereas
Romeo had not the sign of a beard
and Julie: chung firmly around his
neck unit! death did them part, on
the other hand, when Friar Lawrence
appeared with long gray gorse down
to his girdle the lady drank poison.
Anyway he went right out between
acts and had em moved away and
today Mrs Sousa said:
II was little doubtful as to the
result. but I'm very pleased and /
think II takes ten years from his age.

GRANT CAR PRICE
INCREASED MARCH |
Dealers Not Surprised at the
Raise; Were Expecting 1t
Sooner or Later.

The increase in the price Of the
Grant six, effective March /. was not
great surprise to dealers, says c. S.
Fuller, local representative of the
Grant six.
Last fall, when other manufact-
urers started raising prices, II was
soon apparent that the average in
crease would be about 10 per cent.
Since then labor and materials have
steadily advanced.
But, as everybody knows, the new
Grant factory, with a yearly capac-
ity of over 20, 600 cars, has such eX-
ceDtiOnal manufacturing facilities
1that it has been able to offset to a
large degree the increasing costs OF
course, the limit would have to be
reached sooner or later but it is
characteristic of Grant policy that
they did not take advantage of con-
ditions to increase the price more
than was absolutely necessary. The
increase, In fact amounts TO only
per cent of the former selling price.
eByond any question the cost of ma
terials and labor advanced Il 10 ~
per cent in the past two years. The
difference between the actual ad-
vance in cost is present to the
buyers of Grant six. The greater
economies of manufacture made pos
sible by the now. factory are being
passed along to the buyers of our
car.
THE good faith of the factory is
evidenced by the short notice given
us dealers. In stead of announcing
the increase a long time ahead and
using it as a sales stimulant. the fac
tory has followed the opposite course.

ADVERTISING WELL
PLANNED MUST PAY
When 1t Fails to Do SO the
Product Is Wrong, Says
George A. Kissel.

whenever well-planned adverts-
ing fails to pay and we look carefully
for the reason, we invariably find
weakness in the product advertised,
said President George A. kissel of the
kiSselkar recently.
questionable business cannot af-
ford to chance the limelight any more
than honest business can afford to
keep out of it. Printers ink will bring
searching public attention to either,
resulting in disaster to the former and
prosperity to the latter
AS to automobiles this Is particu-
larry true. While men are induced
thru advertising to look at cars, few
buy them on the mere advertised as
sertion that they are all right. They
insist upon knowing why they are
good and testing each claim"
In commenting with approval upon
the foregoing remarks of Mr. Kissel.
w. \. Scott pointed out the fallacious
reasoning of that small and dimin-
ishing class who assume to believe
that a good article will sell itself"
Nothing in the world from soap
to kisselKars will find a market
without advertising. backed by intell
gent salesmanship," he said. "Often-
times automobile manufacturers have
test cars placed in various parts of the
country long before the model is an
nounced, yet whoever heard of a de-
mand for one of them before it breaks
into print?
"But when Mr. Agate Line gets
busy with the proposition, all motor
dom is alert. Everybody who is
thinking Of buying a car of its class
is interested and willing to be shown.
Business is located and it is up to
the merits of the product and proper
salesmanship to close it,"

\ Good Cow.

Theodore Marburg, former minister
to Belgium, tells this tale about the
proposed sale Of n COW. The discus
sion between buyer and seller ran
somewhat as follows:
shes an awf'ly good old COW. Our
children think the world of her. You'll
like her immensely"
"And how much milk does she
give?"
Don't know exactly; but she's a
nice cow-first-clas
We'll you must have some idea
does she give a gallon at a milking?"
Never kept very close track"
"But you must have rough notion
about It. Does she give as much as a
half-gallon a day?"
Couldn't say definitely. She's an
awf'ly good. kind old cow, tho. If
she's got any milk. she'll give 1t TO
you"

Battery Economy
Necessary

When the motorist buys an auto
mobile he goes very carefully into
the question of gasoline economy, how
many miles per gallon he can get out
of his motor and figures out from that
how much per mile for fuel 1t is go
ing to cost him to operate his car.
In driving he uses as rare a mixture
as possible to conserve the gasoline.
He looks for the most economical
speed at which to run his car and
makes every effort TO run ii at that
speed. Getting the most out of a gal
Ion of gasoline is part Of the success
full operation of the car.
Contrast this with the attitude of
the average car owner towards his
storage battery. Not one in a thou
sand knows what it costs him to turn
over his engine, nor how much it is
costing him To burn his lights. Using
economy IN the matter of electric cur
rent is the last thing in the world
that enters his head
Economy in the use of electrical
current which the battery supplies is
not at all difficult for the motorist.
1t is simple matter to prime the
engine on cold mornings when vapori-
zation is difficult. II is a small mat
ter to turn off the headlights and
pllcf unnecessary lEnlS Nnen lnt
car is standing idle. This is all that
economy of current means.
BY regular hydrometcr tests the
motorist can keep in touch with the
condition of his battery. BY keeping
it filled with pure distilled water he
keeps the plates covered so that the
greatest possible surface is exposed TO
the action of the electrolyte. by bal
ancing the ammeter readings of cur
rent used by the lights against the
ammoter readings of current supplied
to the battery by the generator, he
is able to tell whether the battery is

Devices That Have Been Pat
ented for Comfort Of
Motorist.

A hydraulic snubber, in which the
automatic compression and release of
lubricating oil accomplishes the de-
sired operation. The oil housing con-
tains two chambers. Pivoted to the
center of the housing and also to the
extending arm is a movable revolving
slide containing two butterfly valves
working in opposite directions. As the
car travels the oil in the two cham
bers passes thru the valves and when
he springs start to recoil the valves
close tightly and the compressed oil
takes the entire recoil. Double and
single arm types are made and prices
are from s15 upward set Of two.

JUST WHY A DOCS
 TAIL WAGS

A dog whips his tail to and fro to ex- press feelings he cannot put into words
 It is his own code and varies accord ing to the message he wishes to flash on his rearward semaphore. He has a short twitching motion that expresses anxiety and interest, a violent flashing that makes known his enthusiasm and affection, steady whipping from side to side that spells hnuger and motion less droop that signals defeat and dis couragement. Canine experts have always been able to read these wig wagings, but it took science to eX- plain whiy the dog used them.
 When a dog is pleased and delighted he must have some outlet for his feel ings. Just as a bashful boy twirls his cap or twists about in his chair. or a person tickled by some humorous sally rolls on the floor and holds his sides, the dog wags his tail The human be- ings in the situation described above are striving to relieve the strain on their nerves. Embarrassment must be relieved thru some outward convulsion of the muscles.
 The dog become filled with joy and his tail, like a safety valve, takes the pressure off his nervous system.

"SELDOVIA NAME0FF"
 HAS NEW HOME Orphan Thrust Aboard Boat At Western Port With A
 "Ten Spot"

In theK odiak Baptist Orphanage News Letter, arriving from the west ward on the Admiral Evans, appears the following well told story of little "Seldovia Nameoff," now an inmate of the institution on Wood Island near Kodiak
 When the steamer Admiral Evans arrived in Sept. we were informed that there was a child on board for the orphanage. It proved to be a little girl about four years old. She was in the care of the Stewardess. And the following is all that could be learned about the child.
 Just as the boat was leaving the 1 dock at Seldovia a man rushed up with the child in his arms and handed her over the rail to one of teh passengers saying, she is an orphan for the mis- sion at Wood Island" With the child he handed $10 to pay her passage. The man who received her happened to be U. s Deputy Marshal Brenneman. He turned the little one over to the stew ardess, who, with the assistance of one of the lady passengers, cared for her till the steamer arrived at Kodiak when she was handed over to Supt Learn.
 It was expected of course, that there would be a letter concerning her, but in this we were disappointed. Altho the child can talk, no questioning, no matter how skillful, has been success. sful in getting her to tell her name.
 For six weeks or more we called her baby" but as she is older and larg CT than Katherine, whom she calls That one" it seemed so inappropriate to call her baby that we named heI Seldoyia Nameoff, which sounds suf ficiently native to go with her little round, brown face.
 When told her new name she was very proud and happy. She would go to the other girls and in her sweet little voice say: "Seldovia Nameoft me-" pointing proudly to herself.
 She is a plump little lass with black hair, dark skin and drak brown and rather small eyes.
 Since her first day at the Orphanage when she asked a few times where mama?" there has been no question ol any reference in her chatter to hel past life. It seems as much of blank to her as it is to us. She is very hap py and contented in her new home. Anc is daily adding weight to her already heavy little body.
 Perhaps some day we will learr something of her history before she came to the orphanage.-Seward Gate way.
