Note, These Special
Business C0nveniences

The Essex Roadster is particularly suited for
statesmen, visiting representatives, inspectors
and others who must make widely scattered
calls.
Though not large the Roadster is commo-
dious. There is plenty of room for passengers,
and special arrangements for carrying sample
cases unseen, and even trunk if desired.
Consider comfort too. Men who use a car
much IN business appreciate the value of riding
ease. They know how motoring fatigue takes
the drive out of man, towards the fag end of
the day. They appreciate the riding comfort of
the Essex. II is comparable to no other light
ear. Only among large, high-priced cars, own

Essex Dependability

Durability, economy and ttaln-like regular

More than $4,000 owners have learned this
advantage. Many cars run 10000 to 10000
miles without the least repairs. Such proofs
multiply daily.
Today Essex durability is as unqnestioned as
its ability to out-perform any car of its weight,
and to surpass many that are larger and cost

STRANGE FACTS THAT
FEW PEOPLE KNOW

"Dakar, which is seldom heard
about, promises to be a focal point in
the expected rivalry of European
countries with the United States for
trade with South America possibil-
lty that everyone Is hearing a great
deal about just now" says a bulletin
from the National Geographic society.
me sudden interest in Dakar, the
bulletin states, arises from dispatche
telling of proposed Paris to Brazil and
Madrid to Brazil rail and water routes,
and also of a contemplated trans-At-
lantic aeroplane flight from Dakar to
Pernambuco, Brazil.
"A glance at the map will show why
Dakar holds a strategic position for
South American communication" says
the bulletin. Tho distance from Da-
kar, on the tip of Cape Verde, to Per-
nambuco, the eastermost city of the
South American continent, is but 1715
miles as compared with 1858 miles
from New York to Liverpool

dry dock arsenal, torpedo boat basin,
and facilities for transferring cargo
from boat to train. Work on a deeper
harbor and a larger dry dock now Is
under way.
'sDakar also is important to its own
htnterland, for it is the seat of admin
istration for all the French possessions
in West Africa, which include beside
Senegal, of which Dakar is the chief

THE Y. w. c. A. BUILDING.

S7HE Young Women's Christian asso-
citation of this city, particularly
those in charge of its business affairs
are to be congratulated over the re-
markable financial showing made to-
ward starting the preliminary work to
erect a suitable home for the associa-
ton. There are few societies of young
women that have done more general
good for their sex than the Y w. c. A.
Opening modest quarters in Boise that
organization has grown steadily until
its influence for good has been very
generally felt.
At the recent annual meeting of the
association 1t was reported that It now
has a membership of $50 and that
building fund Of over $4,000 has been
started, together with an endowment
fund to which gift Of $500 was given.
This news came as a most welcome
surprise. The donor to the endowment
fund is the same benefactress who gave
the furniture for tho assembly room,
together with piano. when the asso-
citation headquarters were opened.
Certainly the most commendable
progress has been made in the short
time tho association has actually been
in existence in this city. Tho daily
work Of the Y. w. c. A. offers to the
average young woman the best pos
sible training, morally, mentally and
physically. An attractive, adequate,
permanent home for 1t is essential.
Without question II will be given
strong support when the officials con-
slider the time has como to properly
launch the project.

WHERE BOARDING is DONE.
New York Tribune).

(NeW York Tribune).
That there is any considerable
boarding by householders is improba-
BILE. 1t is to their interest to buy lit
tie. Nor Is 1t likely that there is
marked boarding by retailers, for they
fear fall In prices and seek to keep
their stocks low. But the evidence Is
that large dealers have extra goods
which they are holding back. This, II
true, greatly simplifies the process of
remedy, which is the simple one of un-
locking the warehouses and selling
their contents for what they will bring.
1t sounds almost too simple and per-
haps 1t is. The violent fall in prices
might be onluy temporary, consump-
ton might be greatly, even wastefully,
increased, and when the surplus was
gone the second state might be worse
than the first.

The steel strike shows again the
temper of Bolshevist labor leaders like
Fitzpatrick and Plumb. They still re-
gard Lenine as the master economist
and Russia as the Land of Promise.
The theories behind their crusade are
prevalent in all countries thrown off
their balance by the war. They must
be met. A steel strike with socializa-
ton as its. aim was inevitable. Per-
haps now is the best time for it to
break. The public turned against the
Plumb plan for the railroads as soon
as it understood it. 1t will proba bly,
resent Mr.. Fitzpatriclrs effort to warm
that nostrum over for use in the steel

PROGRESSING SENTIMENT.

NEW York HeraId).
The plain truth, understood by all
save those who are so blind that they
will not see, Is that as the expounding
has proceeded from the vision of "a"
league of nations to the actually of
this" league of nations there has been
an increase by leaps and bounds of
the number of Americans who do not
believe that their country should en-
ter into any league of nations. The
growth of that feeling, found in all
parts Of the country, has thrown D
scare into the camp Of the supporters
of the unamended and unreserved
covenant.
