Plainly Under the
Spell of sSCunga DIM

SpelI OF Cunga Din"
You may talk of roads so poor,
When you come back from tour
That the constant humping made
your back teeth rattle;
When it comes, though, to abusing,
You should see the roads we're using,
All that you have said is merely
childish prattle
It's no use complaining, swearing
AT the way they do repairing,
Or the lack of it's what I ought to
say,
All that's done to help the travel
Is to throw on sand and gravel
Which-it's ten to one-the rain will
wash away.
It's bump, bump, bump!
There's nothing to the road but one
big lump!
If you think you've seen the bad ones,
Come up here-we've got the sad ones,
For miles and miles it's rattle, slam
and thump!
Of Oft ponder in my heart
Why the cars don't fall apart,
It's fact that is not easy 10 explain;
They wear out in time, .'tis true,
But you'd think, as I now do,
That they'd give way in week be-
meath the strain.
Some day. though, the time will come
When our roads-yes, every one,
Will have to be rebuilt, they are so
poor;
Touring then, you will allow,
Will be ten times worse than now.
1t will be-. from first to last, one
grand detour.
Twill be thump. thump, thump!
Mud hole, ditch and rut we'll have to
jump!
! Trips that now are quite alluring
Well give up and start abjuring,
No one wants week detouring in q
lump! H. S. OSBORNE.

Board asked for 100 per cent war basis
On January /; therefore, having no
hctltlous price to remove we cannot
reduce the price of the Marmon on this
score.
Finally, the policy Of the Nordyke
q Marmon Company, established sixty
seven years ago, does not permit them
to lower the qualities of our materials
Of workmanship, and consequently they
cannot reduce prices on this score.
This is the position of the Nordyke g.
Marmon Company. 1t is the policy be-
hind the Marmon "a which stabilizes
Its investment value to the patron now
as it has in the past."

the Society of Automotive Engineers,
which was to be held January 12-14
has been changed to February to 6,

who. desire to attend the New York
Automobile Show.
The S. A. E. Victory Dinner will be
held February at the Hotel Astor.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-15

Let us be perfectly frank and state
that this confusion in the public
mind is the natural result of certain
statements and acts of some manu-
facturers who belong to what we
would term the "opportunist" class.
These makers-and there are sever
al of then-have recently announced
reductions" in prices to what they
brazenly term "Pre-War" standards.
Now, in not a single case that we
can recall, has the reduction actually
been what it purported to be!
In every such case the Wartime
peak" price was fictitious.
In no case had it been in vogue for
any considerable period-znost Of
them were announced just before
the war ended.
In some conspicuous cases the War
time prices had applied only to the
individual buyer--the price to deal
ers, the wholesale price-had not
been changed.
This is inside stuff" we are telling
you but the case calls for absolute
frankncss if we arc to clear your
mind Of the erroneous impressions
created by such tactics.
The confidential" reason given for
the last Wartime raise in price to
the public-but not to the dealer
was "for the benefit of the dealer"
On account of the closing down of
factories, automobile dealers were
confronted with a shortage Of cars
and a continuance Of expense.
That was all right so far as it went
but was it sound business to pro-
tect them at the expense Of their
customers?
Instantly the war ended-and 1t was
most unexpected-these makers ran
for cover.
They knew their product could not
compete in the open market at its
fictitious Wartime price.
So they hastily announced "reduc-
tons"
Conditions had not-have not
changed an iota. Still they an
nounced reductions"
Look at the hgures-cornpare prices
of those cars then and now-the nor
NAL prices Of year ago; the "peak"
price of the late Wartime period
and the present reduced" prices.
And you will find that in some cases
Wartime prices were increased as
much as Is per cent and reduced 20
per cent!
In other cases the increases amount
ed to 80 per cent-the recent re
ductions" to 10 per cent
We are sorry to relate that this spe-
cies of strategy has been resorted
to by the makers of one car that, for
merly. we considered above suci,
practices.

1t is such tactics that discredie the
entire automobile business.
The ones most injured by the pres
ent confusion In the public mind are
those who did not take advantage Of
a Wartime condition to Profteer.
Chalmers was one of those. We are
not "opportunists."
Much as we sy1npathized with the
plight of Chalmers dealers when our
plants had to discontinue making
motor cars and so, 100 per cent, to
making war materials, we did not
adopt any questionable expedient to
protect Chalmers dealers at the ex-
pense of Chalmers buyers.
So there has never been a fictitious
"a War-t -tirne-price on Chalmers
Motor Cars.
Therefore we have no margin now
to cut"
Chalmers has been the greatest val
Tic in its class during the past year.
During several years past, in fact,
but especially in the last twelve
months.
That was one reason for the tre-
mendous popularity of the Chalmers
Car.
The other reason was it's aIl-around
cxcellence-its matchless quality
itS great relative value.
At times we felt we would be COM
PEELED to increase prices, but we
firmly resolved to give the buyer the
benefit SO long as we were working
up materials purchased in normal
times.
Labor was higher-but overhead
was actually lower, because we
charged its legitimate proportion On
war work.
We tried to be fair to all concerned
to Uncle Sam, which means the
whole people: and to Chalmers buy
ers, which are the Best People!
Had the war continued year long
er-well, we still would not have
raised prices for the simple reason
that we would have made no motor
cars.
The whole question resolves itself
into this was a manufacturer JUS
tilted in raising his price to buyers
solely on grounds of shortage OF
cars?
Not on any actual extra cost OF
building-but a greater demand
than supply.
We contend such practice was not
justihed-was not quite fair.
Chalmers did not do this.
Stop to think Of it and you win re-
call that in 1915 5-passenger
Chalmers cost $3.50.
That in 1917 the then model sold for
$3.50.
That that same model, since great
easurably-improved still
lists at Sl56s.

Chalmers prices have been and still

We cannot do otherwise.
Nor can we see any sound reason
for expecting any material change
IN conditions for a long time 20
come.
Materials certainly viii not cost any
less while the whole world bids for
our supply.
Wages will never return to the pre-
war scale.
The United States Steel Corporation
has said so-and that is the worlds
largest employer Of labor.
No, the competition Of the cheap
labor of Europe" win not materially
change matters.
European labor Is insisting On a
higher scale Of living-the Azneri-
can scale.
And on that scale It costs Just as
much to live in Europe al fn Amer
ica. Just as much.
So wages there are being standard
ICED upward, too.
All Of which facts are sound. you
will admit.
But-you want something eangfbis

You need a ear-you prefer Char

Better do SO at once, too-for II Is
impossible to obtain materials in
time to increase production suf6-
GENTLY to meet the demand-or any,
where near it.
And soon the big spring demand
will be upon us.
Don't hesitate because some maker
whose Wartime price was fictitious
has reduced" it fraction.
Such makers will have to reduce a
couple of more times before their
product will sell in competition with
Chalmers at it's present normal
pricel
Get in line for your favorite ear-

In 1918 the number of stenographers
in the departmental service at Wash
ington was 2444. Report Of U. s.
Commissioner of Education, Vol. 2,
page 56S.) A recent report in the
Times Picayune shows that the number
has increased in less than four years to
$4,000 and the prediction is therein
made that the figures VIII reach 10000
before the close Of the present year.
Stenographers here who wish to remain
at home or near home will find great
demand for their services for double
reason. One is the call to take up the
work Of young men called to the colors.
The other is the enormous increase in
every business which demands steno-
graphic service.
And then again many women are
studying to teach stenography. A dis
patch from Columbus, Miss, reports fiji
ty young women there pledged to teach
stenography or other war activities!
An Institute for the teaching of
shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping,
commercial arithmetic and all other
commercial branches desired, will be es-
tablished here, at once, upon the basis
of small enrolment sufficient to meet
expenses. Not q dollar of bonus in
any form is asked Of the citizens.
Morgan City and Berwick, even by
the Federal census Of 1910, surpass in
population any city in the state now
without such an institution. There is
at the present time, SO far as we are
informed, no such school South of Mon
roe, east of Lake Charles and directly
west Of New Orleans, reckoning from
this city. When firmly established
by local patronage the school is boun
:" enroll large number Of very dcsir-
able non-residents in the territorv
ran,.d, and become a potent factor in
the material upbuilding of this city.
Whoever may be interested enough in
the enterprise to desire full particulars
is requested to phone at her early con-
venience, address this office or phone
S62 for a personal interview with the
superintendent.
