What if the government or something
 else. it matters not what should com
 mandeer the peoples flivvers and the use
 of automobiles should be cut off entirely
 from private individuals, what would hap pen? asks American Motorist. What would happen, we learn, is this: At once everywhere the erstwhile auto
 mobile schools, academies, universities
 and such like, where men, women and children had heretofore been taught how to motor, would be transformed into in- stitutions of learning, wherein adults of
 45 years of age and 6-month-old babies would be lined up together learning how to walk. There's whole lot of them who don't know what the outside of an automobile looks like. and couldn't tell you where there was a shoe store if their lives depended on it. Of course, rather than learn to walk there would be quite a number who would seek out the roller skate, bicycle. horse, etc, make shift substitutes for the motor car, but even so the students in the walking school, academies and colleges would crowd them beyond any possibility of comfort, since it would require sometime to train teachers enough of the forgotten art of pedestrianism to enable them to instruct others in heel and toe locomo- ton.

STEARNS-KNIGHT IS ATTRACTING MUCH
 ATTENTION HERE
H. M. Bailey, Local Dealer, Receiving Many Inquiries for Territory Contract
 in Three States

H. M. Bailey, who last week an, nounced his new connection, the agencies of the Stearns Knight anc Harroun cars. is enthusiastic over tn. Searns- Knight cars which arrived dur ing the week, and likewise everybody else who have seen these beautiful models
 shipment was received during tho week of three carloads of Stearns Knight models. which included the $. cylinder 4-passenger roadsters, 4-cyi- inder 7-passenger touring cars and S. cylinder 7-passenger touring cars An other shipment of three carloads will arrive this week. which includes 4. cylinder 4-passenger roadsters, 4-cyl- finder 5-passenger touring cars and 4 cylinder sedans. all Stearns-Knight. A shipment of Harroun cars will arrive within the next two weeks.
 MT. Bailey is delighted with the re- sponse to his announcement of the new connection, he having had several call CTS from Alabama. Florida and Geor- gia desirous of closing territory con- tracts and flood of inquiries by mall He IS very much gratified with the in terest taken in what he believes to be the best automobile buy on the mar ket, and feels that all of his territory will be taken shortly.
 The Stearns-K Knight and Harroun cars will be moved to their new home in about 30 days or by September | the place to be announced later as ar arrangements are now pending for one of the i,
 The Stearns- Knight is the original Knight motored machine in America and they have met with such success with the sleeve valve motor, built fy x. B. Stearns Co, with all their indi- yidual improvements, that they ara now building nothing but Knight mo- tored cars. There are four Knight manufacturers in the United States It. censed to make motors. but no two of these motors are alike. The r. B Stearns Co.,, being the oldest manufac. turers of Knight motors in the United States, it is conceded by all engineers who are posted on development of au- tomobile engines. that the motor usec in the Stearns-K Knight car is the high est developed Knight motor turned out" said MT. Bailey
 The body arrangement, construction and finish is second to none. These cars are now on exhibition at POP. Fifth avenue for the present, but theil new home and service station will bt one of the most complete in the en tire south. While business has faller off somewhat with the low priced cars l do not think it is entirely on accoun of the war situation. but mainly from the fact that purchasers are demand ing higher grade article, one that l. handsome, quiet and does not spene the majority of it's life in a service station These people are more thar willing to pay the right price for the right automobile and in the Stearns. Knight line we have yet to hear ono single criticism" stated Mir. Bailey. Z

The following telegram was received yesterday by Charles K. Hall chair man of labors volunteer co-operation citizenship and educational committee, from Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. which is expian- atory:
 "The food administration bill is at present in a precarious position and the interest of the masses of our peo- pie are being frittered away by the failure of the Senate to pass the meas ure, thus leaving the people every day at the mercies of the spectators and exploiters.

 T urge you and request you to pre- vail upon all union and other friends to at once communicate by telegraph with the United States senators from you state demanding that the bill i'm mediately pass and be enacted to con- form to the well known and expressed judgment of the President.

Wifey at the Helm

From the American MOtorist. When dear friend wife chauffers the car It takes a little stroll, And makes a frightful bluff as If
 To climb trolley pole It makes the poor pedestrians
 Go scooting to the wall. While In the forest glades the nymphs Will hunt the timber tall Now don't you think it clever, Frank, ' Dear wife will say to me- ITO make folks step right lively when They're toddling home to tea? We pay big taxes for the roads,
 And they are ours, you know, From Saginaw to Poseyville
 And on to Kokomo. Now watch me take wheel right off That wagon piled with coal; It makes me boil to see road hogs, It does. upon my soul" And then she twists our new machine Like the
 Across street. And hardly gives the thing a thought That everything may meet In one grand smash, and spill the wheels Until they roll like this While on my cheek she tries to plant fresh, unmetered kiss.

Keen the Car Clean

It is sound method of procedure never to allow dust and dirt to collect in the top, in the interior, on the floor, in the up- holstery or upon any part of the skeleton of the car, says pr. Leonard Keene Hirsh- berg, writing in the current issue of American Motorst. If the owner will re- member that each spot of dust or dirt in lures the car and shortens it's career; If he will understand that one loose bolt, made so by grit and dirt, caused the col lapse of the Quebec bridge, better per- sonal attention will be given by him to the near godliness of cleanliness.

Toll System a Failure

''The toll system has never proven suc- cessful in any country, although 1t has been tried in all" says an editorial writer in the current issue of American Motor ist, after announcing the final removal of tolls from the historic old Lancaster pike, ed States.
 Tn spite of this" the writer continues, recruitment exists here and there suffici- ently strong to bring about the establish ment of toll roads. This inadequate meth cd of traffic restriction flourishes to some extent within the shadow of the national capital. Surely our law makers should find some more equitable and practica- ble way to provide road revenue.
