pared under the direction Of Touring
Manager A. G. Seller, who was long

they keep members posted on new

notify members OF changes in traffic

new laws in the surrounding states,

.H()RESEES PROSPERITY
FOR AUTO INDUSTRY
Walter E. Lambert Notes phenom-
email Demand, Which, He Says,
Mirrors Uudreamed Of Era"

That 1919 would be the most pros
porous year in the history of the au-
tomobile industry has been apparent
for some time to close observers. is the
opinion of Walter E. Lambert Wash
ington manager of the Lambert-Hud-
son Company, local Hudson and Essex
car distributors
1t was not until the New York,
Chicago and other big automobile
shows passed into history, however,
that the full extent of this unprece-
dented era of prosperity was realized
For years the New York show espe-
ctally has been the barometer by
which trade conditions for the com
Ing year were forecasted- Held in the
nations greatest buying center, Its
result this year was more eagerly
awaited than ever before.
Always Had Two Meanings.
In a. bygone age when questions re-
garding the future were put to the
oracle of Delphi. the answers were al
ways susceptible of two meanings.
The answer of the New York show,
however, was uneQuivoca1. AS in Chi
cago, the attendance and actual sales
in New York mirrored an undreamed-
OF era of general prosperity.
One reason for this phenomenal de-
mand is in the relatively small pro-
duction of the past two years. Ac-
cordlng to government figures there Is
shortage at the present time of 7oo.-
900 cars in the United States. To make
up this shortage would require the
i- ~
hut because of the slowness of the re-
turn to normal production, 1t is esti-
mated that scarcely half Of this num-
Der can be built.
Thus. while there is more money in
circulation and wages are higher than
ever before in history, the demand for
good automobiles has far outstripped
production. Even good sed cars are
disappearing at an unprecedented
speed. Automobilists who had to be
content with their old cars during the
past year are now focking into the
market with hundreds of thousands OF
those who never before have been
able to afford even "flivver." The re-
suit will be an actual automobile fam
inc this spring.
At the Hudson factory, for instance,
the production Of Super-Sixes was to
have stopped entirely January l. Sud
denly, however, the ban was removed,
but it will not be until around June l
that production can be restored to
normal. Orders booked ahead for
closed model cars are now monopoliz-
ing the limited production capacity
and it will be many weeks before any
omen car models can be produced
With the first breath of spring the
present small stock of cars will be ex-
hausted.
The answer to the present conditions
for all intending purchasers is clear.
1t is. Buy now.

despite the romance and glamour
that our memories throw around the
little red hoolhouse-which, by the
way. was generally white or gray
1t is nevertheless fact that the
education doled out there is of
second-rats character.
TN the first place, each child can
nave only fraction Of the teachers
time because the one instructor must
take in turn several different grades.
Meantime, the other children are
supposed to study but don't. and the
teachers mind is about evenly divided
between the class she is trying to
instruct and keeping the others out
of mischief
"In the graded school each class
has rhe full time and attention Of the
teacher-and the teacher is more
competent because better paid, more
mature and a specialist, as it were,
in the curriculum of that grade.

Take the matter of weight, to which there is
greater import attached today that ever before:
Through scientific design, elimination OF parts
and extensive use of aluminium, the Marmon
weighs 100 pounds less than any other car OF like
size and power. In fact, it weighs i,ooo pounds
less than some cars with only l25-i1ch wheelbase

PINCHOT is RIGHT

Clifford Pinchot, friend of Roosevelt
and stalwart progressive. declared at
the beginning of the present year:
For the hope of reconstruction for
the good of the country the next ad.
ministration must be Republican. 1t
is no longer Wilson and the Demo.
Gratis who stand III the way--it is the
Old Guard. The Republican party
cannot win in 1920 unless it is gen.
uincly progressive
Now in the light of later events we
must naturally assume that the death
knell of Republican 1920 hopes has al
ready been sounded. The new con.
gress has been organized and is cap
tanned and managed by the strongest
array of standpat, reactionary lead
ers the country has ever assembled in
authority. a reactionary of the worst
type, one VIII Hays is The party's
national chairman, and the party af-
fairs and the coming nomination for
the presidency will be absolutely in
reactionary hands. No matter how
progressive II man may appear on the
surface, If nominated and elected he
Will serve the reactionary masters
who put him in the White House.
There is nothing uncertain or i'm
probable in such forecast. 1t is as
sure as the setting Of the sun. The
interests that put up the fund to elect
Il Republican congress didn't let the |
leaders take any chances by putting |
progressive Republicans in the saddle |
in House and Senate and if they can
80 tho rest of the way and elect IL |
president they are not going to take |
any chances and name one of the |
progressive type, certainly not one
who has the courage Of his convic-
tions.
So Pinchot is right, No matter how
the rank and file is, the
leaders are not and the country must
look to the Democratic party for the
legislation that is 80 impera-
live for the future.

cHILp.LARoR DILEMMA

Last year Il law enacted by Con
gress, lorbidding the employment OF
young children in factories, mills and
mines, was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The need of child-labOr regulation
was so widely recognized that Con.

set about to accomplish the purpose
by some other method. The result
was a clause in the war revenue act

OF the events in series of meetings
which were bringing home and schoo
more closely together
The celebration took the form of an
industrial exhibit. Every trade and
business in which the various fathers
we're engaged was shown either by
samples of work from factories, steel
plants and stores or photographs
where samples were impracticable.
Fathers engaged in professional
work such as doctors or lawyers,
who might have had difficulty in per-
suading samples of their skill to con.
sent to exhibition, were listed in u
prominent place where none could
fail to see.
The evening was enjoyable and in.
structive in many ways. New light
was shed on local geography. since
the location Of every industry was
listed. A better idea was gained of
the business and Industrial life of the
town. Children and parents alike
left the exhibit with a broader com
prehension of what the fathers of the
whole world are doing, after seeing
samples of the work of one average
lot of fathers.
1t took the child out to the world of
which he longs to become Il part. It
took the father into a realm where he
spends far too little time, the school
where his child is being trained.
1t is safe to say that not until that
evening at the school house did half
the fathers realize what they mean
