MANY CHRISTMAS PARTIES
Topeka Institutions Will Bring Joy to
Hearts of Children

Hearts of Children.
There will be no lack of Christmas
festivities in Topeka this year, for the
lucky children with homes and par
ents of their own or for the kiddies
not so lucky, who are in different in
to give them what their little hearts
crave on this holiday, so peculiarly
the child'S holiday.
The biggest Christmas party of the
year will be the twelfth annual Elks'
party, for which $4,000 will be raised
by the Elks. OF this sum $1,000 has
already been paid in, and not more
than half the membership of the order
have yet paid their share. The Elks
Will entertain 1900 or 1000 young
sters at their party in the city audi
forum Saturday. In addition to the
musical program which has been
planned, there will be various other
entertainment features and there will
be present on the tree for every kid
die who comes to the party.
The Girls Friendly society of Grace
cathedral is giving a party for about
$50 children who will have no Christ
mas at home" this year. The girls of
the society will carry their little guests
to the party in cars belonging to mem
bers of the congregation, and will take
them home afterward. There will be
music, games, a tree and presents at
their party, too.
Toys and other gifts which were col
iected at the all-school high school
party last week will be distributed to
unlucky Topeka Riddles thru the
Provident association. and the tree
which ornamented the high school
auditorium at the party will be sent to
the orphans home.

realization of the universal good roads
program
"By such agitation you will get the
good roads" he continued, "and when
they are built you will have established
the grentest market for automobiles.
Among other advantages to be gained
thereby are the following:
"1. win reduce hauling expenses.
"2. Will establish rural truck routes,
thus linking the producer and the con-
sumner and lowering living costs.
"3. VIII consolidate the schools.
a. Will relieve city congestion.
VIII Mean Saving
And what is more important. it
will effect n saving in car maintenance
that Will prove amazing. For instance,
there are Approximately 100000 au-
tomobiles in the United States, and
the average upkeep expense, repairs
due to bad roadbeds, is 800 year
each. Thus the motor car owners of
the country will rc5ain 100000, 900
they otherwise would have to spend"

IF you have faith in this country
Mr.. Jordan asked, chow can there be
any stoppage of production at this
time? 1t is impossible for Il business
of such great proportions to be af
fected by h temporary lull. In 1898
there was a total of s5,769 900 invested
in the industry. Last year the figure
was $1,802, 100000. In 1910 there were
49, 900 passenger cars in this country.
A million was the count at the end Of
the first six months of 1920 and this
total may. be doubled before Janu-
ary L."
Should Anticipate LulI
AS precautionary measure, the
speaker advised all dealers to arrange
with their bankers without delay for an
increased line Of credit, to tide them
over when the anticipated lull arrives.
BY doing this. he urged them, they
would safeguard the industry as we'll
as their own interests.

Jersey Auto Clubs
y Vigorously Oppose
License Raise Bill
Owners Are Already Paving
Higher Tax Than in Ad-
Joining States and White
Measure Increases Burden

Ine Associated Automobile Clubs of
New Jersey, at conference of direc-
tors held in New Brunswick, unani-
mously went on record in opposition to
the White bill, recently passed by the
New Jersey State Senate, calling for
vastly increased motor vehicle fees.
While those present agreed not to op-
pose a 20 per cent increase for the
year 1921. pending q general overhaul
ing of the present fees and taxation
methods. the Associated Clubs officers
decided that any substantial increase
should carry with it discontinuance
o. motor vehicle assessment under the
head of personal property.
"While the condition of the main
highways in New Jersey is far from
satisfactory, that is no reason why the
motor car owners of the state should
be called upon to pay increased taxa
tion for the ownership of their time
saving vehicles" asserts E. NJ. Lowen-
thai. chairman of the legislative COM
mttee of the Associated Automobile
Clubs of New Jersey

Exceptional Market
For American Cars
In Africa Reported
Egypt, Tunis and Algeria
Offer Best Opportunities,
Though Sales Outlook in
Spain and Greece Is Good

Valuable information for American
mary Of the markets now existing for
our automotive products in Egypt, AL
giers, Tunis, Morocco, Spain, Portugal,
Italy and Greece, prepared by G. P.
Klevenaar, vice president of Export
American Industries. Briefly, these
markets are as follows:
Egypt-Markct par excellence for
the ready sale of American automobiles
of medium prices. The development
of motor traffic during the last two
years has been phenomenal.
Probably the regency of
Tunis never offered a more favorable
opportunity than the present for the
development of its market for foreign
merchandise and the introduction of
new commodities. The greater pro-
portion Of traffic is over the highways,
which comprise the most important
arteries of traffic. The import duty
on cars into Tuns has been reduced
from 70 to 45 per cent. This reduc-
tion is also effective in Algiers.
Fine Market in Algeria
Algeria-With population of about
100000 this country offers re-
markable market, particularly for med
ium priced automobiles and for wide
variety of motor truck types. Pleas
ure cars are in especial demand. There
is a distinct liking for the American
automobile.
Morocco-There is q market for an
additional 5000 cars and French and

the reconstruction of our main arteries
OF communication, it should follow in
our state, as in other states. that the
bill should be paid by general taxa
ton, either in the form of bond is
sue or in an increase Of the present
onemill tax, which is supplying the
money for the work in process, which
unfortunately. has been sadly inter-
fered with during the present year be-
cause Of lack of materials and labor
and in some instances an absence Of
contractors.
I'm New Jersey the motorist is pay
ing more money to-day than his fellow
road user in nearly all other states He
is first taxed on the car itself; then an
operating tax at So each for every
car; and finally the vehicle is again
given attention in the form of the per-
sonal property tax. In the adjoining
states of New York and Pennsylvania
there is no personal tax on the cars,
and in New York except in the metro
politan district, no operating license
for the owner, while the charge in
Pennsylvania is only 81 year.
Delay Is Asked
"It is undoubtedly true that road
travellers from other states are not
patronizing New Jersey to the fullest
extent because Of the condition of our
highways. but that does not give cause
to pile up taxation on automobile own
ers nor upon motor truck users The
truck situation may need some attcn-
tion and some revision of fees. but
certainly not to the extent embodied in
Senator Whites bill recently passed by
the upper branch of the Legislature As
matter of fact there should be no in
crease in fees whatever until the COM
mission appointed by Governor Ed
wards has had opportunity to prepare
and submit its report to the Legislat-
ure, which, of course, would mean &C
tion during the winter session.
However. the organized motorists
are not going to contend against the 20
per cent increase for 1921, accepting
the viewpoint of the new state High
way Commission that it cannot ade-
quately meet maintenance require
ments for next year because of the ac-
ton Of the previous commission in add
ing 300 miles to the state road sys-
tenn
