So Don't Forget
This Fact

The Essex in every particular, save in
price and weight, is comparable to cars
that cost much more And it possesses
the further advantage in economy that
comes from its lighter weight.
Remember, 1900 owners are telling
of more good qualities about it than any
Essex salesman can tell you. Essex own
ers will advise you to buy an Essex in
either the five passenger touring, the Sc
dan or the roadster models.

Note the Advantages of
Such a Car

The Essex is not large car, neither is
it tiny No space is wasted. No extra
weight is used. Neither passengers or
driver are crowded. They have plenty of
room on the seats and for their legs. The
size of the Essex gives it many advan
tages, including moderate cost and oper
ating economy. And think how much
more convenient to drive. 1t slips
through traffic that a larger car can
not negotiate. 1t can be parked in space
that others can not squeeze into. 1t turns
in short radius.

That Is Why You Hear
So Much of Essex

Anyone who has ever driven much
knows that the greatest delight, where
speed is concerned, comes with the abili
ty to best a rival with extra bursts OF
speed. 1t is the situations which show
cars ability to out7perform others
that give greatest cause for pride.
And knowing that the Essex does ex-
cell most cars, even many that are larger
and that cost more, there is little wonder
owners speak of it as they do.

One thing we can't forget i'll buying
motor car is the pride of ownership.
The automobile is a pleasure vehicle
and it spoils the fun to be hopelessly out
rivalled by a car that is smaller and costs
less to buy.
And for the same reason there IS a lot
of satisfaction i'll having car that,
though it is small and its cost is less,
does out-perform all of its class and has
few rivals among the large, costlier au-
tomobiles.

specimen of the dead1iest poison

uct of an American scientist. lit is
what Germany escaped by signing
the armistice before all the resourc-
es of the United States were turned
upon her.
Ten airplanes carrying 'Lewisite"
would have wiped out every vestige
of life-human. animal, and vegeta-
ble-in Berlin. A single days out
put would snuff out the four million
lives on Manhattan Island. A single
drop poured into the palm of the
hand would penetrate the blood,
reach the heart and kill the victim
in great agony.
What was coming to Germany
may be imagined by the fact that
when the armistice was signed 1t
was being manufactured at the rate
of ten tons day. Three thousan0
tons of this most terrible instrument
ever conceived for killing would have
been ready for business on the
American front in France on March

LABOR ON EDUCATION

| The Maryland Federation of Labor
met April 14-17 in state convention
and passed very strong resolutions
with reference to education in that
state. .One demand of the resolu-
tions was that the state legislature
enact law fixing the minimum
salary of schoolteachers at S10S0 per
year. The preamble to the resolu-
tions recites tne faith of the people
in the schools and is of sufficient in
terest to be quoted in part here:
1.-The school is the laboratory of
ideals. There, in large measure,
the fruits of victory may be lost or
won. Americas contribution to the
realization of the worlds ideals will
be determined by her public school
system.
"The success of our school system
depends very largely upon the school
teachers of the country. We can
have schools without buildings; but
we can not have schools without
schoolteachers. Their status is a
matter of vital public concern.
Even many of the so-called soul
less corporations realize their pro-
duct depends fully as much upon the
efficiency of the working personnel
as upon the efficiency of the plant.
The product of our schools is human
character. 1t follows lien, that the
happiness, welfare, and efficiency of
the teaching personnel are essential
to the success of our educational sys-
TEN.
But the teachers of America to-
day are subjected to a system OF
economic oppression and intellectual
repression. The average salary of
the teachers of Maryland, for ex-
ample, is about $475 a year, or less
than that of the unskilled and IL,
literate laborers
"The classroom teachers are the
real educators of the youth; yet
they have little or no voice in the
determination of textbooks, OF cur
riculum, of educational policies, or
wages or the condition of their work.
.They Impart ideas which too . fire.
quently are imposed upon them.
There is little or no chance on their
part for initiatives opportunity for
development, nor encouragement for
constructive work"
