the figure: it increases the age of

Wrong Point of View.
AS soon as the dressmakers and re-
porters gave out the news that full
skirts were taking the place of tight
ones. a large sector of the public
Immediately took up the idea that a
flaring skirt was a fashionable skirt
Women redeemed from their closets
the gored, outstanding skirts of sew
eral years ago. Now, the truth is
that these are as old-fashioned today
as they have been for some time.
There is no return to that type.
The public was miSled because the
word "bell-shaped" was constantly
used to describe the new French and
American skirt as a contrast to the
sheath skirt. which it was pushing
back over. the horizon. a more ac-
curate description. which would not
nave misied women. is that the full
longer than anything we have worn,
while the hem of the skirt remains
slim and exceedingly narrow. Also
the public should have been well i'm
pressed with the idea that this long
tunic. standing out like hoop around
the figure, did not have laring edges,
but was tucked under at the hem to
give more fu1lneSS and a wider cir
conference
1T is easily seen that the bell-shaped
SKIRT. gored. and with many seams,
has no place in the picture of today
1T must remain in it's moth balls.
This balloon-tunic skirt. however, is
by no means the only wide skirt Of
fered. 1t is just the herald of a revo-
luton from extreme narrowness to
Hoatlng width. Each designer, is try
ing out various ways of looping drap-
cry about the hips and knees in order
to disguise the lines of the figure.
Among these experiments there has
returned to fashion the primitive idea
of pulling the front of the skirt up
through a belt. Every woman must
realize that the present movement of
drapery is upward in front and down
ward in back. no matter how it is ar
ranged in detail, and there is no surer
way of freeing the feet and the in
steps from cumbersome cloth than to
adopt the ancient, honorable and
primitive method of pulling the ma
terial up through the front of the
belt
When this was first advanced in
'aris several years ago, it was called
he fishwife's skirt, then it became
the medieval skirt. and now it has no
name whatever. 1t merely exists and
has imitators.

TAR REMOVED FROM MACHINE
Roads or Pavements Without
Getting Some on Car.

1t Is hardly possible to drive ma
chine over newly tarred roads or pave
ments without getting at least some Of
the tar on the body. If treated in time
the spots are not difficult to remove.
The machine should be washed to elm
mate all the grit, and carefully dried
with chamois, so that the tar will not
smear. A little vaseline applied over
each spot and worked in with the
fingers will help to remove the stains.
A thorough wash with body soap and
finish polish in the usual manner
completes the operation.

Motor Truck Facilitates Transparent on of Milk.

ly keeps his business alive because of
inferior delivery methods.
The farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling of his product is
vital consideration. For instance,
take the case of the dairy farmer who
now makes two deliveries a day with
his motor truck in less time than he
used to be able to make three deliv-
cries a week. His milk is sweeter, the
price is higher. And so it goes all
along the line, the motor truck has
proved not only its speed, but it's econ
omy.
Increased Use Of Trucks.
There can be no doubt In the mind
of anyone who makes serious study
of transportation conditions as they ex-
list the country over, but that the next
few years will see an amazing increase
In the use Of trucks. Because speed,
economy and adaptability to varied
work will be vital considerations It
seems certain that the greatest de-
mand will BIO for moderately light-duty
vehicles.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1919-07-16

When the necessity for moving war
essentials simply overwhelmed the
railroads and paralyzed shipping con-
ditions, the world was brought to a
realization Of what motor trucks could
accomplish in emergencies. Thousands
of business men learned the answers
to their individual transportation prob
lens and will permanently profit by
them. 1t is apparent, on the other
hand, that many others have even yet
failed to come to complete realiza-
ton of all that the motor truck means
to present and future transportation.
No industry, no business house re-
quiring either pickup or delivery can
obtain full success today without the
use of one or more trucks. The pub
lie demands quick service-motor
truck delivery is the solution.
Daily Object Lessons.
Every day the object lesson is driv-
en- home. One merchant increases his
business because of the dependability
Of his deliveries. His competitor, with
otherwise equally good facilities bare

Many ball players have fads of one
be instructive.
Lena Blackburne, who has played
shortstop on many teams, collects pen
nants from the various cities he
visits.
Joe Benz has an account of every
game he has ever pitched pasted away
in scrap book.
Dutch Leonard has a passion for
talking machines, and spends much
OF his spare cash purchasing records.
Strong for Flowers.
Eddie Collins Is strong for flow
ers, and picks up a rose bush here
and a new kind of plant there for his
garden back in a suburb of Phila-
delphia.
A large number Of players keep
scrap books. Ed Walsh has a pile of
them large enough to stock a small
library. Few players have had so
many features written about them as
Walsh has enjoyed, and many day
he filed from one to four pages in his
book.
Ed also picked up pictures of
himself in action, and has fixed up
baseball den at his home in Meri-
den, Conn.,, which is said to be
one of the finest of its kind in the
country.
Eddie Cicotte is another who keeps
scrap book. His fondest hope is
some day to place an account Of his
no-hit game in this volume. He has
nearly everything else.

Yankee, at his home in a Los Angeles
hotel, writes Malcolm MacLean in De-
troit Free Press. Jack Is one Of the
coasts star players and seems GER
tain to be back in the majors again
before the year is out.
His room was bare of ornaments
unless a wardrobe and trunk could
be considered such-and the only OBJ
jects in sight were two scrap books
on a table beside the water pitcher.
Many of the clippings in his books
refer to him as the Frenchman, which
he collects with great delight. "You
know" he confided, II was born in
Michigan"

81 had a great time when I played
with Montreal" he continued. "The
French aims took me to their hearts
actually heard one of them tell an
other that l couldn't understand any
English except a few words like ball,
strike and others used in playing
the pastime.
"And I didn't have to buy many
dinners in Montreal, either. 1 had
one or more invitations every night
at one of the French homes, and I
had one swell year Of it. Many of
them called me jacques Flonyea, and
could often hear them yelling that
az me when 1 was at bat"
Before closing we might state
that the Angels have a hitting trio
that compares favorably with many
of those in the majors-Fournier
bats third, Sam Crawford, former Til
ger, fourth, and then comes RUDE Ellis,
eX-Cardinal.

ALL families NJ!
WANT AN AUTO
Machines Have Rapidly DeveI-
Oped From ''Freak" Stage to
Absolute Necessity.
Large FACTOR IN PROGRESS
Production Has Increased by Leaps
and Bounds Until Today There.
Are More Than 5000, 900 Motor
Cars in the United States.

When the first horseless carriage
appeared we looked it over curiously,
nudged each other knowingly, made
jOcular remarks and went about our
business wondering what those crazy
inventors would do next. Thus began
the evolution of what is today our
third greatest industry. From the
freak stage, the automobile developed
into a rich mans plaything.
Finally, after many vicissitudes, we
were forced to recognize it as pos
ssible commercial proposition.
From a possibility to probability
and soon to a Certainty-the auto
mobile quickly arrived at it's proper
position in the scheme of things. And
that position is an exalted one.
All Families Want Cars.
The automobile today Is so effec-
tive factor in the progress and hap
piness of humanity that it is every
family's ambition to possess one.
Logically, it's production has In
creased by leaps and bounds, until to-
day there are more than 100000 au-
tomobiles in the United States alone.
They have become national neceS-
sity, employed in every avenue Of in
dustry-to save time and widen zones
of trade.
They have brought fresh air and
the wonders Of the open country to
multitudes, lessening distances and
promoting closer fellowship
That, in brief, Is the past and pres
ent of the automobile.
What, then, of the future?
We hear much less than formerly
of the approach of q so-called satura-
ton period-a time when so many
cars will have been built that sharp
curtailment Of output must come.
Industry in Infancy.
The more we reflect, investigate and
analyze, the more our common sense
tells us that the building Of cars is
still an infant industry.
In the first instance, we take into
account that which we all know to be
true; namely, that he who once owns
a car will contrive to own one as long
as he has the price.
That means, In round figures, that
more than a million automobiles must
be built this year to replace those that
will wear out This is on the con-
sentative basis that the average car
has useful life of five years.
The future of the automobile is
something for succeeding generations
to worry neutrality-suspicious. he Is a
rank pessimist who will say today
that it is anything but rosy.

DIFFICULTY IN WASHING CAR

Working Alone II Barrel Is
Placed on Platform.

The great difficulty in washing au-
tomobiles, where no water under pres
sure is available, is to operate the
sprayer pump, and at the same time
use sponge effectively, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. A large water
and alright barrel with both heads in
tact will be required. A faucet or
valve, to which a hose can be attach
ed, is inserted in one of these heads.
The barrel is then placed, with the
faucet down, upon some sort of plat
form. A hose is attached to this fau-
Get and to the nozzle of the force
pump. After the valve is opened, wa
ter should be pumped into the barrel,
until it is about three-fOurths full. The

removed from the nozzle of the force
pump. To use the barrel as a force
spray, it Is only necessary to put a
nozzle on the hose and open the valve
at the bottom Of the barrel. The air,
which is compressed by pumping the
water into the barrel, forces the wa
ter out when the valve is opened,
thus making an effective spray. All
these operations can be performed by

The rest is an old story. Shorten

training trip, got in the opening game
against Cleveland and then was forced

gave him more trouble.
Flagstead got three hits in that Sec

regular right fielder. He has been
hitting more than 300 most Of the
time, much of it in pinches. Shorten's
misfortune was his good fortune.
Many other ball players with bat
ting marks almost as big as Flag
steads have come from the minors
and failed in the majors where they
found the pitching too good. Ira may
also fail for the same reason,
but there seems little chance. He
has faced the best pitching in the
league and hit far above the average

He is fast on his feet, covers

He has faced several trying situations
and his judgment at those times has
been good.
