ANSWER PRESENT IN XMAS
RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The Christmas Red Cross Roll Call
is on. and the effort is being made TO
enroll everyone as a member for'the
coming year Many people have
shown Indifference TO this call be-
cause they feel that the war is over,
and il isn't necessary This is a mis-
take. The need is very great at this
time. The work Of the Red Cross is
not over, and will not be for many
months For instance, the Red Gross
is appropriating s2.5OO.000 for tu-
berculosis work. and the call for mon
ey will be incessant in the war strick-
en- parts of Europe from this organ
ization for long time. Our sol
diers still need aid from the Red
Cross So let every citizen of Lub.
book respond with his dollar, and
continue this good work for another
year Unless this response is gener-
al over the United States, il will
be necessary to make another cam
paign for funds during the year. On
the other hand, if this campaign is
successful. there will be no need fol
another.
Next Saturday. booths will be plac
ed on prominent corners of the
square in charge Of ladies, and Il

Husband the Better Lover.
rom the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Invariably the radiantly happy mar
ried woman of fifty has adopted the
mans point Of view regarding her life.
The average man is a better lover than
the average woman. because he loves
practically, showing affection in acts
rather than in words. From the be-
ginning his homo Is his incentive to
effort. Sometimes. after marriage. as
demands increase, he becomes SO en-
crossed in his purpose that he forgets
to talk of love.
Then it is that the wife, who has
small understanding of love in action,
pines because she is sure he has grown
cold. No. he is at fever heat, lest he
fail in providing physical proof of his
affection.
The woman who finds happiness in
married life has sufficiently mascu-
line outlook to understand him. She,
instead Of brooding over imaginary
sights. in return proves her devotion
by work. Her domestic duties are dig
nif1ed by love, consequently she can
fix her thoughts upon something di-
verting while she mends socks, forget
ting the commonplace.
She can hear the song OF the bird or
think Of the story she read last even
ing while she does the work of the
absent cook To her it Is a joy to plan
attractive meals that will add to the
efficiency of her loved ones. She has
profession-home making.

Memorials in Rome.
From the London Chronicle.

From the london Chronicle.
Two of the most interesting spots In
Rome today have nothing to do with
national defense They are the arch OF
Titus and the gladiators' entrance to the
Colosseum. They both tell of Jerusalem
Within the vault of the arch of Titus
may still be traced the carved figures
Of sorrowful Jewish captives led in tri-
umph to the Eternal city from the blaz-
ing welter of their own. There they
are, with representations of the seven
branched candlestick and the golden
table And above the mighty arch
through which the gladiators marched
into the arena is the plan of the Holy
city as it was before it's fall.

DlscOURAGEs SENDING OF
FOOD TO u. S. SOL LDIERS


Eats from home will be a thing
Of the past in tho camps and canton
nsnfs throughout tho country If the
public heeds . request from the Council
Of National Defense to discontinue
foodstuffs to men in uniform. Because
much Of tho food is spoiled before 1T
aTrives, tho health of soldiers and
sailors 10 impaired and. besides. the
practice results in an unnecessary di-
Sninishment Of the food supply, 1t is
claimed. The council has adopted a
resolution on the subject. a copy of
which has gone to each state council
Of defense The resolution is as fol-
lows:
'arhe Council of National Defense
desires to inform the people Of the
country that abundant food is supplied
to the soldiers and sailors in the camps
and cantonments. and that the sending
of food to these men by their friends
and families is not in any respect
necessary; that the aggregate quantity

BILL TO STOP THE BOOZE
SPECIALS TO BALTIMORE
State Senator Metzerott Would
Make It Difficult to Buy Bottled
Goods in Maryland City.

Many Baltimore liquor dealers are said
to favor a bill that has been introduced
in the Maryland legislature by Senator
Metzerott Of Prince Georges county.
The bill is designed to put stop to the
practice Of Intoxicated Washingtonians
riding on the so-called "booze specials"
between Baltimore and this city. and to
make it more difficult for them to pur-
chase bottled liquor in the Monumental
city.
Senator Metzerott would put a stop to
sale of bottles Of liquor by keepers Of
drinking saloons and permit their sale
only in places holding a special license
for that purpose. and no place would be
permitted to operate under both classes
Of licenses. He would require holders
of licenses permitting the sale of bottled
goods to close their places early enough
in the day to prevent Washington resi-
dents from going there at night and
buying supplies
It is Senator Metzerott's belief that
enactment of his bill into law will i'm
prove the almost unbearable conditions
which. he says. have arisen since the
capital went dry.

Another suggestion which many mo-
torists are adopting is the use Of red
as a color in veil or coat This, strange
as it may seem, will prevent any tam
ming or burning. That does not neces-
sarily mean red in its most intense
qualities. although such shade might.
perhaps, be the most perfect protec-
ton. according to the theory upon
which the suggestion is based. Yellow
is worn very much for this purpose.
and so is orange. Possibly this is due
unconsciously to gradual recognition
Of its protective qualities.

EOR years people have looked
i for a moderately priced car
that had good looks, finish
and refinement; that was a little
more chic than the average run of
commonplace jobs.
In this new Lexington, with its
long, low, beautiful body design,
its sinplihed, rugged chassis, its
distinctive radiator, its finer uphol-
stery-we have achieved what we
believe to be the ultimate.
The Lexington was the first to
introduce, and is the only car au-
thorized, to use the Moore Multi
pie Exhaust System.
This is a wonderful additional
power developer and a great fuel
economizer. The principle is sim
pie. It makes use of t,vo exhaust
lines instead of the customary one.
No two cylinders exhaust in the
same pipe at the same time. Each
discharge of dead gas has a clear
track. There is no back pressure.

No Military Cars Exhibited.

Another mechanical change is the en-.
larged engine size, the average piston
displacement now being 269 cubic
inches, compared with 222 cubic inches
last season. More cars are also supplied
with thermostats as economizers of
fuela and the Haynes showed one cut
OPEN. to illustrate its simplicity ana
certainty of action. Wire wheels also
and cantilever springs are prevailing
equipment.
No war or military cars were exhib-
artistically designed in keeping with
the martial spirit Of the times Exam
Evening star., 1918-01-13

Hence there is 22.89o more
power developed plus very sub
stantia1 saving in fuel.
Another big Improvement is
the new Lexington frame. This
design eliminates 1875 separate
parts. All these parts instead of
being bolted on are welded to and
are an integral part Of the frame
You can see what tight, snug,
-non-rattle, non-squeak job this
new, beautiful Lexington is.
Here is another big feature:
The new easy-to-handle Lex
ington emergency brake. It en-
cages on the propeller shaft direct
1y behind the transmission. It can
be operated with just the slightest
pressure of the little finger.
The motor is 4O-horsepower.
The wheefbase Is f22 inches.

Closed Car a Feature Of Show.

The closed-car types. which have been
growing in popularity for all-year use.
have never before been shown in such
variety of magnidcence. The sedan,
which has been a pronounced favorite
this season. was seen in five and seven
passenger types. Then there was a wide
variety Of limousines, coupes, brough-
ans. landaulets, cabriolets and town
cars. The body work in general showed
a distinct improvement. and while con-
servative colors prevailed. there was a
fair sprinkling of the livelier tones,
such as red, orange, deep greens and
olive, rich grays, c1aret and blue, chief
ly of liberty and copenhagen tones. The
Jordan showed a neat touring car
called the Sport Marine I'm copenhagen
