REGENT COLD SPELL PROVES VALU K OF A D A P T A BL E BODY

'Th he recent snow blizzard and severe cold weather has emphasized the neces- sity of owning a car that is adaptable to any weather or climatic condition says Paw Perkins of the Perkins Motor company, local agents for the Kissel-Kar, StUtz and Grant cars.
 Such weather extremes have made buyers keep in mind the different sea- sons of the year while purchasing, so that they will own a car that they can use at any time in comfort and security.
 'The ability of the al1-year Kissel-Kar to withstand climatic changes without drafts or leaks is due to unique construc- ton features necessary to make 1t wealth er-proof.
 That is why the all-year top 'built-in, not on is something more than a slogan. Through special construction, the winter top becomes a part of the car, being tightly bolted to the inside frame and not attached over the top of the open body"

by a good driver may learn to know and understand his motor There is also q slight, very slight, almost imperceptible increase in power, too, when the cut-out is open, due to the decreased "baek pressure" of the exploded gases, but*this is of the smallest impor- tance In the arguments in behalf of the cut-out.
 DISADVANTAGES
 Wherever we find good. though there is also bad to balance it on the scales of nature. And, while the cut-out has it's good points there are faults also in evidence
 In the first place however foolish the statement may seem, they are a menace to the roads of America today. This ill itself should be reason enough for the few to forego the pleasure of their use for the advantage of the great CT number. The vacuum caused by the fast passage of a car causes a lot of the loose dust on the sur face of the road imm ediately be- hind the car to be carried up into the air. Watch the next car pass ~ you will notice it.
 DESTROYS ROAD SURFACE
 The cut-out, when open. causes the gases that have already been used to be thrown with much force directly upon D small por- tion of the road, thereby loosen- ing much dirt and breaking it up into finer particles-preparin it
 
 behind the car, taken from the surface of the road and usually deposited upon MT. Farmers corn field.
 This works a hardship upon all concerned. The road is being con- stantly worn away. the taxpayers are caused to have to pay out per fectly good money for its repair, the crops are injured to some ex- tent by the dust settling upon them and it affects you directly, MT. Motorist in that the road soon develops a series of slight little rises-waves--almos too slight to be seen and yet large enough to take away that steady, even glide of the car and give it an up and down wavy motion.
 NEED LOCAL REGULATION
 Drastic measures have been taken i'll the ma ajority of the larger cities of the country prohibiting the use of this appliance in any manner within the city limits and some have gone so far as to de- bar a car making an unusual or unnecessary noise from the use of the streets. the blowing of horns and whistles being included in the measure. Birmingham is in dire need of some restrictive measures of this nature. The noise, entirely unnecessary, caused by the start ing of many motors with the cut out open, gives no small amctsnt of annoyance to the public Motor- cycles seem to be particularly adept along this line Negroes rid ing delivery machines. very val uable asset to business in general at this critical time, cannot seem content to await the attention of the public but seem to try to

Repair Those Cuts'
 Says Fisk Manager

Pounding along over frozen and snowbound roads is hard on tires under any conditions" says John P. Bowl ing, local manager of the Fisk Rubber company branch, but it can be done without undue tire expense if the driver uses care and gives his shoes the attention they are entitled to-
 Bruises and gashes are frequently unavoidable, yet they can be remcdied by the simple act of plugging them up with pure gum rubber
 First wash the cut thoroughly with gasoline to remove all grit and dirt; then, after filling with plastic gum rubber, allow it to harden for an hour or so. Little cuts grow into big ones in remarkably short time, yet they need cause no concern if properly treated in time"

Camouflaged Sausage

From the Popular Science Monthly
 Having tried a substitute for almost everything, the Germans, we are told, are stopping short of nothing in their attempt to make certain new foods take the place of those made scarce by the war. The latest report says that a sausage dealer in Berlin has been fined s5O0 for selling sausage made of mac erated rubber, finely ground hair and gelatin. His camouflage product con tained no liver, no flesh foods and no fats. At that, it was probably as di-
 gestible as some so-called sausage or
 sale in this country.

 WILL YOU?
 The cut-out, when viewed in a liberal light, has a place. As to that place. it must necessarily be left largely to the good judgment of the user-certainly it isn't in our downtown streets, where the traffic regulation and adjustment is none too perfect at best
 If we cannot use the cut-out with the proper judgment, in the proper place, and at the proper time. let's deny ourselves the priv ileges inherent in us as free men and

 Personally, I am fond of the heart to heart talk one may have with his engine by using the cut out as his interpreter. It has a valve almost equal to compan- ion if the driver happens to be alone and in lonely surroundings. It Is music to the ears of the auto "faR' especially when he is idling along on a country road or climbing a good grade.

 Sleeping out of doors has been robbed of it's most unpleasant feature --the chill No longer is it necessary to shiver with cold. or to pile un- comfortably heavy bedclothcs over yourself.
 An electrician has devised light blanket which is electrically heated. The blanket is equipped with three heats, so that you can have it mildly warm, warm. or almost hot, with the expenditure of but sn1al lamount of

AUTO IS ECONOMIC
 NECESSITY STATES MR. ''BOb' PIERCE

'"rhe three commodities most essen- tial to the public welfare are food fuel and transportation" said Bob Pierce, president of the Pierce Motor company, local Dort and Reo agents.
 One of the most important units in the transportation system of Amer ica is the passenger automobile. It not only feeds and supplements the steam and electric railways, but reaches destinations that it alone can reach.

 "The passenger automobile enables men employed in cities to live in the suburbs not only those of large means, but small storekeepers, clerks and me- chanics
 ECONOMIC NECESSITY
 "In the city thousands of salesmen, contractors and solicitors, hundreds of physicians, scores of real estate deal CTS, and many other groups rely upon the automobile to accomplish econom- ics identical with those of the type writer and the elephone-economic that conserve time.
 "The war has brought many duties to most of us. We freely and gladly offer our services to the government in selling bonds, doing Red Cross and Young Mems Christian association work, making speeches, consulting and planning. We must manage to crowd into our daily lives these additional duties, and the automobile is helping us immeasurably to do it

That Republican politicians
are hard at work trying to line
up their followers for this fall
and the next Presidential cleo
ton is cropping out here and
there. Taking their cue from
the national managers, clubs are
being organized to work under
a sort of patriotic disguise, yet
preparing to capture the voters
that are showing little patriot
ism and against the government
in the prosecution of the war as
far as they dare express them
selves. Whether they can line
up their patriotic rank and file
in this kind of a political game
remains to be seen.

The entrance of the United
States into the war has greatly
emphasized the conflict between
the two theories of government
that are thus arrayed against
each other. In fact, the result
can not but be regarded as a tri'
umph for the form of govern
ment that triumphs.
The supporters Of monarchy
have always contended than an
executive exercising arbitrary
power was stronger than the
head of a representative govern
ment, The supporters of dem
ocracy have disputed this and
believed with the historian Ban
croft, that republics are the
stronger because "discarding
the implements of terror, they
dare to build their citadel in the
hearts of men. "

Washington, D. C.-Hon. Frank A.
Vanderlip, former Comptroller OF
Currency later president of the
largest bank in America, and now
serving as chairman of the War Saw

Treasury, recently gave his reasons
why he favored Prohibition. Mr.. Van

convinced that national prohibition

we live and which we commend
to other nations as the one wor-
thy to become the worlds model.
We cannot afford to allow this
war to SO end that the historian
of the future will say, "A kaiser
was better able to mobolize the
resources of an empire than a
President and COZ gress were
the resources of a republic, or
that THE oppressed subjects OF
an ambitious emperor were more
loyal to that government than
the free citizens of the worlds

History will not contain so
melancholy a page because the
people of the United States will
continue to respond, as they
have in the past, to every appeal
made by the government and by
the voluntary organizations that
aid it in it's gigantic tasks.

For the Drinking Element From Dry
Indiana and Michigan.
Columbus, Ohio.-Reports are com
ing in from the western tier of Ohio
counties, showing that since indiana
saloons are closed the wet towns OF
western Ohio are being overrun with
undesirables who come across the line
in automobiles, drink to excess, and
cause all kinds cI disturbances. There
have been numerous automobile acci.
dents as a result, and in Mercer
County one man was killed and an.
other seriously hurt in collision OF
machines in which the Indiana occu'
pants were intoxicated. Arrests are
increasing in these border towns anG
decreasing over the line in dry lndi'
ana.
Since Michigan became dry the first
of May, the thirsty of Detroit anc
Monroe have been making Toledo
their Mecca, and that wet Ohio city is
seeing more drunkenness than ever
before. The voters on the Ohio sldE
believe their only hope lies in voting
the state dry in November. The in
fiux of the saloon element of Indianf
and Michigan is making many dry
votes in Ohio.

OHIO SCHOOLS AND
SALOONS
"Put" SandLes


Odd fact. Schools closed in
many places for want of coal
and heat. Breweries did not
close. They had coal while the
schoolhouse was cold. Human
society is a curious mixture.
Often we are stingy in the
wrong place and extravagant in
the wrong place. There is no
question as to which is the more
useful, the school or the saloon.
In the minds of even wet lead
ers there would be a conviction
that even if the saloon OF the
school had to close, ID should not
be the school.
