LISTEN, FOLKS!
When King Richard the
Third stood alone on Bos-
worth Field waving his arms
and shouting his fool head
of, "A horse! A horse! My
kingdom for = horse!" there
amt no six ways about it, the
willy old rascal really meant
it. He wanted 4 Gee-Gee
and wanted 1t bad, but he'd
waited too long. He hadn't
needed the warming.
Owing to the war, horses
had been scarcer an hens
teeth in England for over a
year, and for months every
reputable horse dealer
throughout the realm had
been running full-page ad-
vertisements in the news
papers cautioning the folks
that quantity production
in horseflesh wouldn't get
back to normal for seven
or eight months, and all them
who wanted horses had bet
ter "buy now" But old
"Dick" couldn't see it that way.
Being king, he just fiddled
his time until at last he got
cornered, and, having lost the
only trusty steed he had
around camp, was forced to
do battle with the enemy
afoot, but being in no condi-
tion to put up a first-class
scrap, Richmond slipped him
"haymaker" and he never
come to.
And SO it is with the auto
mobile situation, folks, espe-
cially where the great
SAXON-"SIX" is concerned.
If you'll buh-lieve me to be
the skipper, you'll buy your
SAXON now! 1t don't make
particle o difference what
you think or what other folks
tell you about cars being
plentiful after the peace note
is signed. There amt moth
ing to it! At the rate those
in the know" are gobbling
up the output. if you amt
mighty keerful, some bright
July morning, when a mess
of you hold-backs really need
go-cart to attend to your
ever-increasing business,
you're gonna find yourselves
minus like poor old King
Richard, and the chances are
that instead of shaking your
competitors hand and con-
graduating him on being SO
farsighted as to have gotten
his "boat" in time, like King
Richard, too, you're gonna
stand out in the roadway with
your arms waving wild and,
with self-pity in your hearts,
start to shrek out aloud: "a
SAXON! A SAXON! My
kingdom for a SAXON!"
Get aboard. folks! This is
the buying season! The big
guns in the manufacturing
game are working overtime
trying to make the supply
meet the demand, but it's a
turrible tough job. The coun.
try's motor mad! Every
body's doing it! Leave or
ders for your SAXON this
week and escape the, King
Richard class.
It's the one car-the tough :
car-the car that never breaks
down!

SUIT FOR DISCOVERY

District Inquiry Into Passenger
Traffic Over Highway Bridge on
Washington-Virginia Line.

The District of Columbia has fled

a discovery against the Washington
Virginia Railway Company. Norman
Gray, president; ]. c. Freeman. treas
urer; John w. Rich, superintendent,
and c. Fred Hayden. general passen-

pality seeks to learn how many pas
sengers were carried over the High
way bridge across the Potomac river
by the company during 1918.
Un6er the law the company is taxed
one-half of 1 cent for each passenger
transported over the bridge and the
District seeks to know the number of
passengers in order to submit and COL
lect its bill for last year. The COM
pany has been making annual reports
of the passengers heretofore, the
court is told. but has neglected and
refused to make such return for last
year, despite many attempts by the
District officials to secure the infor-

Probably the reason is that the
French are individualists and are not
SO readily organized into movements
of this kind. But the food situation
in both countries is fast getting back
ito normal and this will help labor
conditions. Food is scarcer in Eng
land. but more expensive in France.

Owing to the members misconstruc-

ager of the District Oakland Com
pany, a near-riot was barely averted
at the monthly meeting of the Wash
ington Automotive Trade Association
Monday night.
The routine business of the meeting
had been finished, nearly all present
had offered suggestions which might
help solve the complex traffic problem
that is confronting the citizens of
Washington today. Maj. Raymond
Pullman's ideas on the subject, en-
bodied in a letter. had been given
careful consideration and Corpora
tion Counsel Ringgold Hart had just
finished a most interesting talk on
the matter. when, one of the men,
bers arose and stated, that on behalf
of Charles W. Semmes of the Semmes
Motor Company. who had made the
suggestion, but who was absent from
the meeting, he would like to make
a motion calling upon the association
to be financially responsible for a
mammoth automobile parade and
sightseeing trip to be given for alb
the wounded soldiers now quartered
at Walter Reed Hospital during the
coming victory loan campaign.
From the loud burst of applause
that greeted the proposition it was
evident that there were no objectors
present to the plan in general.

floats be attached to the tenders. and

with the national colors." came from
the president. Rudolph Jose of the
occupying the chair.

looked aghast.

pered Secretary Chester Warrington

Stanley Horner of the Buick Company
dragged Murphy to his seat.
1T might be that the poor man isn't
quite right" slowly remarked Fred
s. Swindells. of the Harper Overland
Company, who had just been recog-
nized by the chair. Little did 1
dream that we had in our midst to-
night one so base as to refuse to dis
play the great Star Spangled Banner
when the occasion required it, and
still think it only charitable on the
part of those present to forget the
unpleasant incident and consider the
objector unwe1l."

It's plans to chcckmate him, it was

Without waiting for the president

Mr.. Randell announced his intention
of seeking this extension through an
amendment to the bill TO extend for
six months the Lever food and fuel
control act, as requested by Attorney
General Palmer.
