MINOR COURTS OF HONOR NEW
FEATURE OF INAUGURAL SHOW

No street in the country has been the
scene of greater variety of decora-
tive features than Pennsylvania ave-
nue., where scores of inaugural parades
military reviews and professions OF
other kinds have been staged since the
National Capital was established here
But it is believed by members of the
inaugural committee that feature en-
tirely new to this city has been pro-
vided in the minor courts of honor at
the intersections of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Az street and 18th street and
between eth and 9th streets.
These courts. (which are formed by a
series of decorative columns. are known
officially as "the courts of the states
They are composed of total of forty
eight columns, one for each state in the
Union.
In the larger of the three courts that
located between 7th and 9th streets
there are twenty-four snow-white
columns Twenty of them are single
and at the ends Of the court on both
sides of the street are double columns
The central feature of this court is
formed by four elaborate pylons each
thirty-two feet high. On the top of the
pylons are censers in which fire is to
be kept burning at night time. Sur

mounting each column is golden
eagle, and attached to each of them is
a shield bearing the coat of arms of
the state 1t represents.
'Festoons of greens hanging from the
columns extend from one end of the
court to the other. Hidden in the
greens are strings Of electric lights.
Between each pair of pylons two large
United States flags are suspended. SO
that they hang in the center of the
Avenue.
The smaller courts located at the in
tersection of Az and 18th streets are
composed of eight single columns and
two double columns on either side of
the Avenue. The columns are of the
same design as those in the larger
court, but the double columns have
been substituted for the more ella borate
pylons. The same arrangement for
flying two flags over the center of the
Avenue has been followed. however. and
the festoons of greens are the same.
All of the columns rest on large bases
which have been filled with sand and
lures from overturning.
Although providing a decorative fea-
ture by day as well as an Illuminating
feature by night. the plan of having
the minor courts of honor was sug-
gested by the subcommittee on illumi-
nation of which William F. Guide is
chairman. John Fl. Finney, electrical

Main Trouble With Owners,

The main trouble with owners to-
day, no matter what automobile they
own. is their non-attention TO little de-
tails and failure to give it the proper
amount OF oil and grease. In other
words, without giving IL any specific
attention. they expect 1t to respond at
all times. and If anything goes wrong
demand free service for their mistakes
Railroad locomotives are given short
runs. but they never go to c.Te round
house to rest until they have been
given thorough overhauling. An au-
tonobile is q piece of machinery and
really needs as much attention. From
the cheapest to the highest priced. they
all need grooming once in a while.
A little work now and then will save
the owner the loss on his machine and
the dealer money. So educate your
owners on this point.
The dealer. before selling an auto
mobile, should have service plan and
state plainly and specifically just what
his service plan constitutes. He should
use cars when formulating his service
agreement, be prepared to fulfill his
agreement literally and educate his
customers by quiet frmness in turn
ing down all unfair claims and bad
trades. 1t will be money in his pocket

that he cannot be bluffed into unbusi-

and in some cases plans have been put

But the word service-its use and

manufacturers and dealers are respon-

public rightly on service, and the deal
er because he has been too willing to
ignore the few suggestions that have
been made to him. Always eager to

business, he has gone SO far that he

Pupils Strike.

From the Columbus State Journal.
The idea of a pupils strike is ridicu-
lous and absurd. 1t is against the very
theory of common school education
which is to make good citizens out of
the men and boys. Now, the first
requisite of good citizenship is respect
for law. In school affairs the board
of education represents the law and
what they say respecting the govern
ment of the schools is the law. We
may not like the law, but that does
not diminish our duty to obey it. When
we disobey it we are not good citizens.
And so when school pupils resent the
decree of the board and refuse to obey
it, they are training themselves to be
bad citizens 1t is more to their credit
to obey law they don't like than to
obey one they do like. A school strike
is not like an industrial strike. 1t is
a defiance of law and a breach of 10y
atty. 1t is positive harm that public
opinion should not tolerate.

BIG NUMBER ELIGIBLE

Less Than 1000 Commissioned Up

Law Is Not Understood.

up to this date" said Adjt. Gen.
Mccain yesterday. less than 1000 re-
serve officers of the line have been
commissioned. The smallness of this
number is probably due to the fact
that among the thosuands who are
eligible under the law and the War
Department regulations relatively few
really know that they are eligible
The following are eligible: Gradu-
ates of military schools and academies
and those who have completed military
training at land-grant universities and
colleges: exmembers of the National
Guard, or such as are now in the Ma
tioral Guard and can procure their
discharge; eX-officers and non-commfs-

Only One Solution.

plan after plan has been given a
trial, but the only solution to the serv-
ice problem is the rigid enforcement Of
safe business methods, the kind that
will keep the customer satisfied and at
the same time allow the dealer to get
the proper adjustments from the fac
tory he represents, and at least giving
him remuneration for his labor.
Some of the best citizens in COM
munity will sell their regulations. if
that statement be permitted. in an eff
fort to get free service. And they VIII
go to their clubs or Offices and brag
about the way they have put it over on
the dealer.
The automobile business today is
only a safe business for the automo-
bile merchandizer who can do il on
solid business methods. 1t is better to
<orego the sale of a motor car to
customer than to tie one up that is
going to give continual trouble. 1t is
Just as unsafe to have crank GUS
toner on the books as it is for the au-
tomobile dealer TO build barrier be-
tween his business and his local
banker by making undesirable and un-
profitable secondhand trades. Invari-
ably, II the dealer will keep check,
he will find that he had his greatest
service troubles with the customers to
whom he has given a large discount
or long trade on used cars. The sale
of one automobile does not make any
difference in the aggregate. but it can
make a lot of mental and financial
trouble during it's life with a customer.
There are automobile dealers in the
$500 or $500 more than they receive
for their product IL they could take
that automobile out of the hands of
certain customers.

Dealer "the Goat"

TN analyzing the automobile. service
problem no one ever stops to think that
the owner is the main reason for serv-
ice trouble, and that the dealer stands
the gaf. An automobile dealer may
have large number of cars of the
same model running in his territory,
and possibly three or four are giving
him trouble. 1t is not the car that is
wholly to blame-it is more often the
customer who does not try to care for
his car or knows how to drive 1t. Is
1t common sense to think that the au-
tomobfle dealer should be made to stand
expense of any deficiency, whatever it
may be, on the part of the customer?
Unless the service problem regulates
itself drastic rules must result. 1t is
not the manufacturer who will lose.
but the dealer, because it has become
a common practice to make the auto
mobile dealer the goat Therefore it
behooyes the dealer to take up service
problem and regulate it.
The manufacturer will make good
on defective material, but the manu-
facturer cannot be expected to make
good claims that arise because of driv-
ing deficiency or non-attention to the
car. claims which are not put up to
him. but to the dealer.

lieves that recent graduates of uni

tary experience. are good material.
provided they have demonstrated in
athletics or business that they are
natural leaders of men. The same may
be said OF many other citizens.
AN examination is necessary under
the law and War Department reguIa-
tions. but inasmuch as personality and
probable efficiency are given great
weight by the regular army officers
who conduct the examination. there Is
no reason why eligible men should hes
itate TO apply for commission on ac-
count OF being rusty or even deficient
in technical military matters. Practical
experience under the regular army
would remedy this. The important
thing is to appoint men of character
and force.
The War Department plans to have
examining boards in all towns and
cities from which a fair number Of
applications may be received, and to
appoint permanent boards at large
cities. Examinations will be held at
Isuch time of day or evening as suits
