The aluminium engine that has
been a feature of the Premier car
will as a matter of course, continue
to be a feature of the 1919 product,
and this, together with the magnetic
|gear-shifting system will be kept
prominently before the automobile
public. The Premier line consists of
a single chassis carrying three bodies.
The engine is a six. 32sx51s, and the
wheelbase is 1851 inches. No
changes OF importance have been
made. It's magnetic gear shift has
been so successful in winning friends
for Premier that its continuance was
matter of course. The factory
given over to truck production dur
ing the war period is now back on

Interesting Semitic
Topics Discussed

What are the different sciences?
What are the exact sciences?' asks
F. J. Brooklyn.
The word science, in its general
sense. means organized knowledge,
but in its general use It is applied
to one kind of knowledge only, viz,
that of natural phenomena, or the
knowledge of things recognizable by
the senses.
This restriction is not intended to
assert that there is no other kind
Of knowledge than that of physical
phenomena, although it does imply
that no other kind has been put to
the test of experiment and estab-
lished by evidence verifiable to the
senses.
In other words, science, as gen.
orally defined to-day, is restricted
to what we can see, touch, hear,
smell, taste, and. by extension of
these fundamental senses. measure,
weigh, combine, decompose, etc. AS

ASKING COOPERATION

Washington. - Especially Just be

tend the rehabilitation activities OF
those organizations which recently
took part in the United War Work
Campaign, Raymond B. Fosdick
Chairman of the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities, was interviewed
with regard to the present situation OF
our overseas forces.
"The problem presented by the
gradual rehabilitation of more than
two million men three thousand miles
from home is one which will tax al
our social resources" said Mr.. Eos
dick. "It is above all a morale prob
lem, and it must be faced as such, with
the full cooperation of families and
friends here in this country, if it is to
be solved successfully. Every one who
has a son, a brother, must help.
"While the war was on our boys

Now, however, the fighting is at ar
end. They are going to remain, most
of them, many months doing work
which will be neither exciting mol

lonesome, bored and terribly home
sick.
''The $17O,OOOOOO raised in the re
cent United War Work drive is to be
used precisely to bridge over this pc
riOd by providing recreation and
amusement. But no amount of mere
money expended in such a way will be
enough. What these boys really wan
is not diversion, but human interes

Results at the high school girls cap

siderable advantage. due to their
gl eater avoirdupois and accordingly
romped away with the long end Of
the score in every game.
The freshman put up stiff fight
all the way through and were able TO
hold the score down to a margin that
does credit to them even, though they
were unable to gain victory.
Between the Harvard teams, the
senior-juniors defeated the freshmen
by a score Of 20 to 5, but lost to the
sophomores in 8 to 5 game. The
sophomores in turn defeated the fresh
men with the one sided score Of 10
to g. But in this contest the under
cIassmen put up struggle that made
the victory well earned one for the
visitors.
Between the Yale teams the senior
juniors defeated the freshmen in 16

TAX COLLECTOR
TAKES ACTION
Hauis Lawyers Furniture Off and is
Able to Receipt Bill in
the Next Few
Hours

QUINCY, Ill, April 21.-Accom-
panied by Police Officer Muegge, Tax
Collector Wenning called at the Office
of A. j. Brockschmidt and as Mr..
Brockschmidt was not in to settle
his account, the collector attached
and had carted to his office in the
city hall two office chairs, type
writing machine and table, to be
sold according to law to liquidate the
personal tax assessed against the
owner. The tax, due since the middle
of January, amounted to S36.67, and
had not been paid.
In a few minutes after the confis-
Gated property had been delivered at
the collectors office, Mr.. Brock
schmidt appeared and sarcastically
complimented that official on the
sharp trick" he had played, and as
sured him that some time when he
wanted favor he would have to look
elsewhere for it, as friendship had
ceased between them so far as he
was concerned.
Mr.. Brockschmidt had promised to
pay the tax next Monday, but the
collector had lost patience over re-
peated promises of payment and de-
cided that the time for action had
arrived. Mr.. Brockschmidt inquired
if the collector intended to have the
confiscated property returned to
where it had been found and was in
formed that the collector had no
such intention and that the costs of
having the property hauled to the
city hall had been added to the tax
assessment and would have to be
paid before being returned.
Before noon the tax assessment
had been paid in full and the charge
made by the expressman and Mr.
BrockschInidt had arranged to have
his office furniture and the type ma
chine returned where they belonged.
