NO MORE AUTOMOBILES.

The unexpected action of the war
industries board in advising the auto
mobile manufacturers two weeks ago
that after January no more touring
cars could be built, has thrown sud
den chill over this great industry. now
the third largest in the United States.
The factories had already volunteered
further cut of so per cent in pro-
duction, but this was not considered
sufficient. From now on the familiar
sight Of shiny new cars will gradual
ly disappear from our streets, and in
their place, mammoth Liberty motors
will 60 roaring over the Atlantic to
drive the Hun from the face of the
earth. (Aeroplanes are already cross

Ireland in twenty-four hours.)
1t will be somewhat of novelty to
not be able to figure on re new car
for next season. Those who are far
sighted are already fastening to place
their orders for cars this fall. Prices
are jumping and in another sixty
days It will no doubt cost a consider
able advance to get possession of an
automobile. Next year second hand
cars will be at premium, and already

To the average person, poetry never
seems so real nor SO beautiful when
read to oneself; it requires an appre-
ciative reader to bring out the
thoughts and preserve the charm Of
the rhythm. Stirring stories ana
poems are remembered longer when
read aloud, and surely those Of Us
who were brouht up on Dickens,
Thackeray and Scott remember best,
not those stories we read by ourselves.

Perhaps it may be different when we

Perhaps, the next legislature may do
something for the cause. Istill have
faith in law requiring each Judge
to bive a sworn statement of his daily
service during each motnh before re-
