 We ale not at the point where we can explain the phenomenal re- vival of dancing with absolute certainty. There are indications, however, that it is closely related to the world-awakening and the vision of better things. The fact that there was a similar manifesto font in the fifteenth century, the period of the renaissance, would bear out the idea. It would seem that the world-hope is getting into the feet It must have physical as well as mental expression. It has not fully learned the step in the march of the ages. It is moving to syncopated or rag time; that is to say, it fumbles and stumbles. But it is moving After awhile it will catch surer and more beauti- full step, and then it will move for ward with greater regularity and knowledge of what it means into the joy of social life on higher plane.
 There is a cheerfulness in this view. It is not out of place for the Socialists to sec in every advanced thought and every tendency of social consciousness an evidence of the awakening of which Socialism and Socialists alone; but Socialists alone understand what it means and arc competent to direct it all to good

SOCIALISM AND IMPERIALISM

Socialists are often accused of being materialists, the implication being that materialists lack the es- seltial quality that distinguishes the higher from the lower, the best from the worst in humanity. It is this implication that they arc low or undevelopcd that socialists re- sent, and not the charge that they gre mGteriGli3ts.
 MothiEks the explanation of this attempt to bring us into disreputc is that vague fear is felt that if tho working class should ever come to understand the great truths of astronomy, geology, biology, and evolution, that they (the working class would no longer be plastic clay and docile servants in the hands of a parasitic class.
 A very large proportion of social ists are materialistG; that IS, they understand something of the me- thod, order, and harmony of na- ture; and they think knowledge Of natural phenomena the first re- quisite in any plan of social better mont. They have learned that every one of the higher qualities of hu- maA beings is rooted in and nurtur- ed by material force and matter. The ideal to them is the highest form, tho blossom and the fruit of the real.
 It IS this scientific, evolutionary, materialistic basis and philosophy thct distinguishes Marxian from Utopi;.n socialism. It io this that causes Marxian socialism to be hated and feared by all those indi- yidualG who live and thrive upon tho ignorance, credulity, and ser vility of the working class.
 Thorstein Veblon, author, and professor in the University Of Chi cago, s2ys:
 The socialism that inspires hopes and fears today is of tho school of Marx. No ono is seriously appre- hcnsive of any other so-c2llcd so- c.alistic movement, and TO one is seriously concerned to criticise or refute the doctrines set forth by any other cchool of socialists.

GARDNER ON FREE SPEECH.

Gilson Gardner, famous Washing ton correspondent, sent the follow ing telegram from Washington to c. w. Erwin, managing editor of the New York Daily Call:
 Permit me, as a newspaper man who is not a Socialist, to add my protest against the threatened sup precision of the Call. The action of tho administration in attempting to meet criticism by forcible SUD- pression of critics is one of the most incredible things I have seen in my 20 years experience in writ ing about public affairs.
 Nothing so un-American, so un- constitutional and so threatening to tho liberties of the people has hap ing this action President Wilson is doing thing which gives
 every expression of democracy he has ever uttered, and is a complete

PHENOMENA OF THE DANCE

Not since the fourteenth century has there been such a remarkable revival of dancing all over the world as thcre is today In some respects it amounts to a fever. Sometimes it is, without doubt, car ried to excess, and, amid all the dancing there is, it is inevitable that there should be insane steps and immoral tendencies in certain lines. But the objectionable feat ures appear chiefly in high society and ill the slum, both of which are

RESERVE POWER

A new expression is creeping into the vocabulary nl the mctorist. It is reserve power"
 Motorists are attaching more signifi- canoe to it than to most any other characteristic of their cars.
 What reserve power" is therefore may interest those who have as yet not come in contact with it.
 The average requirements of car do not call upon it to exert more than the usual amount of power in overcom- ing obstacles. But emergencies arise when a super maximum amount of en- ergy is needed to take it over the top,' so to speak.
 For instance, in the case of the new Cole Aero-Eight, the S. A. E. rating (reckoned from actual motor dimen- sions) is 1922 horse power. That rating classifies it as being more powerful than any other stock eight cylinder car built in America.
 But the Aero-Eight motor actually develops more than s0-horse power Hence, the Cole Aero Eight is able to run without economy at the very low est speeds and with the greatest ease At the same time, when pushed to ca pacity, the car can be made to acquire q speed of more than 70 miles an hour

WHERE PNEUMATIC
 TIRES ORIGINATED

One of the spectators at the first pneumatic-tired bicycle race was w. B. Harding, head of the Indianapolis plant of the United States Tire com pany.
 The race took place at a track meet in Ireland in the late summer of 1889. Bicycle racing was popular in Great
 Britain at the time and at this par ticular meet the best wheelmen of the prominent clubs participated. Much interest and surprise were i evidenced" says MT. Harding, in a lit 1 tie booklet giving the history of the pnumatic tire, when, for one of the events of the day, Mir. DuCros and his l two sons appeared on the track with bicycles equipped with what seemed to everybody at the time to be balloon l tires, and a good deal of comment of a rather sarcastic nature was made re- I garding them
 "The tires justified their introduction right from the start, however, as the DuCros were placed first, second and | third in every race in which they took part. They followed up their success on this track by further astonishing dem- onsrations in different parts of the country. so quickly convincing the riding public of Great Britain of the merits of the pneumatic tire, that be- fore the end of 1890 every bicycle made was equipped with them.
 Although Robert w. Thompson was the first inventor of the pneumatic tire, so little use was made of his patent, that all credit for the introduce tion of the pneumatic tire in connec-
 ton with modern vehicles should be given to Dr. Dunlap, the Irish veteri- nary surgeon, who revived and revised
 the pneumatic tire, and who was granted a patent for his invention,
 which was later held invalid because
 of the priority of Thompson's claims.
 To this day Dunlap tire is practically
 the only one manufactured in England
 and Messrs. DuCros control its des- tinies."
 With these tires as the first step, the tire industry took a quick leap forward and soon this country led the world in quality and quantity of pro- auction. The three American companies
 which quickly gained dominance were Morgan & Wright, the G. S J. Tire company and the Hartford Rubber Works company, which today are three Of the great automobile tire producing factories in the United States Tire com

and maintain 1t without difficulty and
 without causing any perceptible in-
 crease in the amount of fuel used, than
 if it were travelling at from 35 to 40
 miles an hour.
 This reserve power feature of the
 Aero Eight is also apparent when it
 is necessary to accelerate. The swift
 ness of pickup of the car is remarkable. It will increase it's speed from 10 to 60 miles an hour in the space of a few
 seconds, yet it can be throttled down to mere crawl instantly.
 After Shifting
 Should it be necessary to run on in- termediate or low gear for great dis tances, the 27 per cent reserve cooling system prevents overheating. In climb
 ing the longest hills the triple capacity vacuum system assures the driver that he has sufficient gasoline in the tank at all times to overcome the gravity pull which has a tendency to cut out the flow of fuel on long, stiff grades. From 10000 to 15,000 miles on a set
 of tires is the consistent average of the Aero Eight cars. They weigh only 3600 pounds ready for the road and yet 33x5-inch cord tires are standard equipm large enough to SUD- port the weight of car almost twice that weight and yet small enough in circumference to enable it to attain extreme speeds without waste of en-
 ergy.
 The hot spot manifold breaks up the gasoline in a manner that assures per- feet carburetion at all speeds and un- der all climatic conditions, without de- stroying the heat units which make for power.
 The counterbalafced crankshaft, with it's oversize bearings, the light pistons and reciprocating parts eliminate all strains from the operation of the motor It is interesting to know also that the Aero Eight has been subjected to
 rigid tests by the engineering corps ir
 training for service at Indianapolis and the Cole Flights are now in extensive use by the American expeditionary force in France. The Taylor Motor Car company is the local dealer.

PASSENGER CARS CAN PROFITABLY COMPETE WITH THE RAILROADS
Kissel Kar Dealer Out in New Mex ico Makes 20 Per Cent on In- vestment on Four Cars

Ar example proving that automobiles for passenger transportation can profit ably compete with the railroads Is cited by Paw Perkins, president of the Per kins Motor Car company.
 Since 1911 a company has operated four Kissel Kars out of Valley Ranch, N. M, for transporting passengers to and from distant resorts and scenic points. It operates the cars on a strictly business basis. The cost of the car, drivers wages, it's upkeep, including gas- oline, oil and tire expense, as we'll as depreciation, are charged up against the original cost of the car. To this is added a net profit of 20 per cent and when the cars cease to produce this income, they are Immediately sold.
 The cars must average 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. This is possible be- cause the country Is flat and the roads wide, allowing drivers to pass other cars at full speed, thus doing away with the constant shifting of gears that is com mon. in the east, where traffic condition!

PASSING THE BUCK ALONG ., HARRY s FORD THE FLIVVER ROUTE
oy HARRY s. FORD

Somewhere in the days long gone by there was such a thing as pleas ure ears, principally because there was q demand for this particular type of vehicle, this demand being created because there was at that time many people who did not have cares enough elsewhere to keep busy.
 Today one sees these same cars running about town, seemingly as ssusy as before in their work of spreading joy" for their owners, but after good careful consideration aud investigation, did you ever sit down and think of how many of these vehicles are engaged in war work?
 Many-of course not all--of those butterflies of society" that in past days burnt gallon after gallon of perfectly good gasoline in congest- ing the popular downtown streets and ccol suburban drives, are now too busy to give this a thought; they have entered into the spirit of tn times and today those same cars, while they may still go as much, are upon errands of importance for our government.
 In no place in the United States moro than Birmingham will one find this exemplified. The young society girls who used to enjoy @ fluffy afternoon teas, receptions, extrava- gant dances and other forms of amusement practically all of their time, are now hard at work, good honest work, for all of the war funds and indeed nothing has speeded up this work more than the same cars that they used to use for pleas- ure exclusively.
 And notice now, too. the absense in a lot of the cases of the chauffeur and footnan. The girls are learn ing the real joy of motoring in driving their own cars and at the same timo are releasing the men formerly employed for the more strenuous work. Who, in the face of what is being done by the auto mobiles, favor curtailment of their use by prchibitive taxation until an investigation has been made as to what purpose they are being used for?

b|G FACTOR
 IN SELLING TIRES
Millers Enjoy Monopoly in Akron, Rubber Manufac- turing Center of World

Just as service has been amazingly de- veloped by the more progressive automo-
 bile dealers who first realized it's value
 as sales stimulant so it has made remarkable progress during recent years in the tire end of the industry.
 It is conservative to say that probably
 more stress is placed on service facli-
 ties in the tire advertising copy of the various manufacturers today than on
 any other single item. It is also inter-
 esting to note that some of those manu-
 lecturers who in the early days scoffed at the elaborate service method of their
 competitors are now putting into effect service plans of most extensive nature. F. c. Millhoff, general sales manager of the Miller Rubber company of Akron bases the success of that company's tire
 ambition wholly on it's service methods Irrespective of the merit of product, if it is Of the kind that is subject to wear and tear, some provision should be made for it's protection while in use" i, declares Millhoff. "The manufacturer should not only render that protection to his product in order that he maintain high standing in the industrial world a position of dignity and integrity-but he certainly owes it to the consumer
 "1he consumer is the manufacturers best friend. The success of the firm stands wholly on the attitude that the consumer manifests toward him, and, if the product has merit, and the con- srmer gets the right kind of service, there never need be fear concerning that consumers loyalty toward the product. "We of the Miller Rubber company consider our customers our best friends. An example of this is shown in Akron, where 70 per cent of all tires in the world are manufactured. The Miller company by no means the largest producer in Akron, sells more tires in that city than any other single company. There is but one reason for the Akron demand for Miller tires, and that is that the Miller company was the first to give Akronites
 a really modern and efficient service
 sta ton.
 we have endeavored to maintain that
 leadership in service facilities ever since,
 with the result that we think it is not
 so much question of creating de-
 mand for our product as it is problem
 for us to fill that demand.
 Prompt, efficient and economical serv-
 ice is, in my opinion, indispensable
 from the standpoint of company that
 would attain the highest degree of busi- ness success"

are more congested, or roads narrower on account of nign reality values.
 The New Mexico roads are also built to give passengers a wider turning radius, so that it is not necessary to go out of high gear from the time one leaves until arriving at destination, which as a rule is anywhere from 75 to 100 miles,
 Tt is interesting to note that this eompany's passenger rates are figured on the number of miles and not hours, which is directly opposite to the basis figured on in the east. Some trips may be 15O miles, for which may be charged only $25, while other trips may be 50 miles, flor which $50 is charged. The req son is that the former may be over smooth level straight roads, while the latter may be over rough, mountain grades, which are very narrow and con- seauently dangerous"

LEXINGTON HAS NEW
 MULTIPLE EXHAUST
Gain of 7 to 2 Per Cent More Horse Power Shown
 by Recent Improvement

Drives of the Lexington Minute Man Six are enthusiastic about the abund- ant power it develops with correspond ing frusality of fuel consumption. This powerful, economical performance is &C., counted fo- by the Moore multiple eN- haust system, one of the many inge- nious devices with which the Lexing- ton ears are replete.
 In explaining the reason for the sav- ing of fuel and the gain in power pos sible through the use of this system, John c. Moore, chief engineer of the Lexington Motor company, says it's ef- fciency is due to the fact that each puff of dead gas has a clear track
 Tt is a well known fact to engineers that the exhaust periods of the various cylinders overlap one another. When ths burnt gases resulting from cylinder just exploding rush out into the exhaust manifold, they find the gases of an other cylinder ahead of them, conse- quently do not manage to escape en- tirely Remnants of burned gas, there fore, remain in the cylinder, foulfng the incoming charge and cutting down the horse power of the motor quite mate- rially.
 "OyERLAP" GONE
 '.In the Lexington motor not only has this condition been overcome, but the exhaust gases from the cylinders have been subjected to a forced draft, through this special device. In this device the discharge Of alternate cylinders is led into separate passages, so that there is not only no overlap between succeed ing explosions but an actual gap De- tween them
 ..At 2ao0 revolutions the Lexington mo- tor with this device shows gain or 6.s per cent horse power as against those whch do not have it. At increased speeds this amounts up to as high as 22s per cent more power by actual dy- namometer tests This simply means that you get the full power stroke which results from gas which goes Into the cylinder fresh and clean. It also results in a considerable saving in gaso- line consumption. This is, of course, fact which modern drivers are watch ing more than ever

Without doubt the most effective pub licity feature used by the city of Chi cago to boost the Third Liberty Loan in that city, was the employment of the million dollar grin and the unique antics Of Americas greatest movie ac- tor Douglas Fairbanks.
