OUR CAR
BY o. Jay.

There is something so distinct
about saying "our car" even If you
need a comptometer to figure out it's
age. Though the horse sneers at it
when you meet on the street; though
the kids tell you to get on the side
walk and though it just naturally
turns in at every junk shop on the
way, it is still "our car" Friend
wife and / talked car and dreamed
car and many a time / was almost
pushed out of bed by her putting ON
the brakes too sudden. We could
not afford new car; we decided that.
But we decided wrong for we found
later that we could less afford an old
one.
l have nothing to say against Sec
ond hand car, providing you do not
buy it from friend, who has "thor-
oughly overhauled" it, and put it in
first class condition. Well, / had
such friend, who owned such a car,
and thereby hangs this tale.
First let me give a short descrip-
ton of this car. In respect for the
manufacturer, cannot mention the
name, but it had been a very good
car in its day. but that day has been
gone and past for long time. 1t
had one cylinder and when you missed
on this enc you couldn't go at all. 1t

med it into a garage too small for it
and forced the door shut. There
were no doors on it, so in rough
weather one had to be tied onto the
seat. 1t was the easiest thing to
start you every saw. All you had to
do was to sit down in your seat and
hope you'd never get anywhere; then
get off and whirl the crank half an
hour in warm weather, and two hours
in cold, at the same time being care
full not to let the car fly off the
handle and away you'd go.
Noiseless? Well, / guess SO. The
engine made so much noise that you
couldn't hear the chain and the chain
made so much noise that it was inn
possible to hear the purr of the en-

other.
How / happened to buy it was this
way: My friend, Jack, had run this
car around town and having used up
all the remaining energy left in It,
decided to sell 1t. Seeing it was me
who wanted it, he would try very
hard to let it go at 500, but mark you
if anyone else wanted it they could
not buy it any cheaper than $3.50. He
took me for a ride to demonstrate. /

crank it started. "Why it runs, l
exclaimed as we sped down the
street. "Why, of course" he an
swered, II never was stuck with this
little bus let me tell you, and never
started anywhere but what got
there" After / bought it, always
knew that if l wanted to go nowhere,
/ could always bank on this little bus.

Paderewski, Pianist and Premier.

PaderewsH, Pianist and Premier.
When Paderewsld left the United
States on Nov. 23, sailing on the s.
S. Megantic for f. gland, he said
to his most intimate friends that un-
der no consideration would he accept
the post of president of Poland even
If il We're offered to him. He stat
ed that the chief sacrifice he had made
in his life was to abandon his art in
order to be able better to serve his
native country.
"When the task is finished and
am no longer needed in the field OF
politics, / shall return to America,
where have so many good and kind
friends, retire for few summer
months to my ranch in Paso Robes,
California, practice, then reappear
next winter on the concert stage"
This announcement is indeed welcome
to the world of artl
Judging from letters received by
the son of Madame Paderewski, it
appears that the celebrated pianist's
intention has remained unaltered II
is part of his plan to be present at the
peace conference in Paris, and to at
tend it on a footing of equality with
Clemenceau, Lloyd George and others
he himself being now prime minis
ter. He proposes then to sail for
America, where he is expected to ar
rive about the LIST of July and soon
afterwards to proceed to California.
In writing to her son a few
AGO Madame Paderewski stated !:
when we were approaching the
British cruiser which was to take US
from Haf-wich to Dantzip we saw thar
ship completely white, covered with
sea-gulls; and only the sun shining
upon the name Concord written in
golden letters on the side of the
cruiser made US Immediately think
that this was splendid omen for
the future of Poland and result of cur
trip" The Musical Advance ex-
presses its best wishes for the safe

his accomplished and gifted wife to

The words and music Of the inspsr-
ing Polish Battle Hymn are by this
great and versatile genius. They
were played and sung first in Chicago
tenary celebration at which the flags
Of the new American Polish Legion
were consecrated. The following
translation of this masterpiece will
be of interest to all readers:
On, white eagle, the dark events are
over,
Rise today, you splendid one, in a
high flight,
Above the fields Of glory, above the
clouds of sky,
Above the whole wide worldl
On, white eagle, once SO severely
wounded!
Too long have rung the mourning
Lasted the mad despair and crying
tunes.
Lead us to brave and fearless deeds!
On to fight Ia fight where liberty ID
dawning
On to fight for the Polish shore of sea
For Poland free from tyrant's letters
On to fight! Such is Gods will.
On to fight! for Gdansk and seashore
For all our land, our native land,
Fer the liberty of all, for yours and
ours.

Frjendship

No one Is so poor as the person who
Is going through life without friends.
None Of Us needs TO be In this sad
plight. for all around us are those who
need love and sympathy-those for
whom We can make life less difhcult.
And that Is what friendship means
spending oneself for those one loves
and asking nothing In return. II Is
"only he who Is unwilling to love with
out being loved" who Is likely to feel
that there Is no such thing AZ true
friendship.
