facturers to follow when he brought
out early in the fall line of cars
which in quality of appearance, COM
fort, reliability and performance quite
eXcelled any car selling at the prices
! fixed.
The Jordan idea is a standard
chassis of finished mechanical excel
| lence equipped with a series of custom
style bodies including the seven-pas-
senger luxury car, four passenger
! sport model, roadster sedan, coupe and
| limousine.
! In designing the seven passenger
! luxury car Mr.. Jordan says he had
particularly in mind the woman of
| good taste. His belief is that in most
cases men buy ears, but women choose
them. The car was, therefore, de-
signed to appeal through Its distinctive
quality of finish, it's features which
make 1t peculiarly comfortable, the
reliability of its mechanical parts and
it's rare performance.
Jordan got the color idea standin g
on the corner of Fifth avenue and
Forty second street last January. He
saw that the majority of cars selling
below $4,000 were finished in dark
colors by the makers, and no pur-
chaser could express his individuality
in his car as he could in his dress or
his home. except at great expense and
delay in delivery.
Jordan chose two conservative but
| highly individual colors. The line of
the body is of the straight variety, the
cushions of the Marshall spring type,
! almost pneumatic, and the finish of
: the body of the same quality of detail

Buick Business Has
Doubled Each Year

"The demand for the Bucks this
year has been so great that we could
scarcely book the orders customers
wished to place with U.S." says George
b. Zech, local Buick dealer "One
branch alone delivered over 500 Bucks
in December This established new
one months branch record in what was
considered by many the quletest auto
mobile month of the year. The factory
will build at least 125,000 four and six
cylinder automobiles during 1917. They
are the largest producers of six-cylinder
cars in the world. They have not caught
up with the orders for six years, in
spite of the fact that production was
nearly doubled each year. The future
for Bucks looks brighter than ever.
"I believe our new seven-passenger
siX-cylinder touring car to be the fea-
ture of the show. The reliable valve
in-hand Buick motor is here shown to
it's very best advantage. You know
men who risk their lives in racing cars,
this valve-in-hand type"

HER HOPE WAS TO MEET
4 PITTSBURG MILLIONAIRE
In the Seach She Came Upon The Ideal Man. and That
Caused Her to Drop Into Poetry

My ideal man is generous-hea hearted,
loving and responsive"
Ibid you ever meet such a MANI"
Yes: he came and was gone in five
minutes
Tell us about him. Where did you
see him.
'"To you it will seem almost a
dream" said Mrs. Collie. ITO me it
was a reality and will last forever"
Tell us the circumstances"
II was on my way home from a
matinee. At the subway station 1
slipped and fell down two steps. My
ankle was hurt. The next thing I
knew a man was picking me up. He
was very gentle, courteous and had q
kind heart. 1 looked up and saw his
great big blue eyes. He was n gentle
man. He was q perfect man. He was
not the kind to believe that mans
might should rule over q woman s
right. I could tell that by the express
sion in his eyes,
Did this Romeo go away them"
"You can call him what you like,
but he was my ideal. We sat there
five minutes waiting for train. He
asked me to continue the acquaint-
ance, but I told him l was a married
woman. lie expressed his regrets that
/ was not free and gave me the white
carnation which he wore in the but
JOnnole OF ms coat lapel. Inen the
train came along and 1 left him. The
way he assisted me and the flower he
gave me were the inspiration for that
poem. And / wish to add, your
Honor" said the woman, turning to
Justice Geigerich, that 1 am sorry the
poem fell into the hands of my hus-
band, because he won't appreciate it. :"
Miss Rae Rodesli. 20 years old, a
milliners model, employed in a Fifth
avenue shop, whom Mrs. Collie testified
had been with her on various motor
car rides. was then called to the stand.
She possesses a beautiful, 1.-THE figure,
and had evidently spent some thought
in adorning it.
She presented an effective study in
champagne colors. Her coat was be-
tween q tan and a champagne in color
and was trimmed with beaver about
the collar. sleeves and skirt. She wore
tan shoes, with champagne-color
cloth uppers, and champagne-colored
stockings.
Miss Rodeski testified that she had
been with Mrs. Cole on several differ
ent occasions; had goen motoring with
her. Nothing ever happened out of
the way she stated. They had smoked
cigarets and played poker in Mrs.
COLES apartment, she testified, but
Mr.. Cole was present.

Wholesale Dealers Say
Sugar Situation Not Bad

Wholesale food merchants in Har-
risburg this morning were of the opin-
ion that the sugar situation is not so
bad as has been purported. Parallel
situations have been handled n num-
ber of times before and that the pub
lie never knew anything about it, it
was said.
From the time when the word first
went out to the effect that strike
was on and that high prices might
be expected, the housewives have been
trying to get just as much sugar as
possible. AS result dealers every
where felt justified in boosting prices
because of the demand.
Although the dealers report twen-
ty-five point increase it is believed
that discretion on the part of the buy
ers will again bring prices to normal.

New York, Feb. 5.-A new sentence
that promises to be of some public in
terest came to light in the trial of the
suit and counter suit for divorce
brought by Bernard Cole, a druggist,
and his wife, Esmeralda, when the
hearing was resumed before Justice
Giegerich in special term of the su-
preme court.
a. Gee I wish I could meet some
Pittsburgh millionaire!" was the sem
tence in question. 1t was found in a
letter written by Mrs. Cole to cousin
addressed as Lille letter which was
never mailed. 1t was introduced along
with other unmailed letter to Lille:
Mrs. Cole was asked to explain the
reference to Pittsburgh millionaires.
WELL" said Mrs. Cole, 81 had just
gone to a movie show in which a
Pittsburgh millionaire was one of the
characters. / had no intention of try
ing to meet Pittsburgh millionaire.
/ just put it in because about that
time L was growing very lonesome at
home. I was not receiving the atten-
tions a wife should receive"
Was Ready to Fight
Mrs. Coles father, Adolph Meyer,
told of two occasions when he wanted
to split open his son-in-law's head for
insults he had offered to his daughter.
The last time was in a restaurant last
summer.
Mrs. Coles definition of a perfect
husband, taken from her diary of
heart throbs, was as follows: THE
perfect husband, defined in negatives,
is not the man who by masculine
might rules over feminine right"
Mrs. Collie admitted that in Mr. Cole
she had married store and not q
man. She expressed regret that the
one ideal man she had met could not
marry her, but stated that she had
immortalized him in verse. Justice
Geigerich showed a special interest in
this ideal person, evidently referred
to in the following:
"As gaze upon your flower with its
petals white and pure
There's n verse that seems to haunt
me and thoughts 1 can't endure.
Then wonderful change came over
me and taught me really to see
The right and wrong of many thing.
Such q message did your flower
bring.
"I see as in vision the fateful way
we met,
Then finally our decision. Tell me,
dear, do you regret?
But l warned you of the sorrow and
the heartache overmore."
Tell us about your ideal man."
