During the past week five women

stated. THAT gives thieves an OPP

he continued. "They should be held
tightly in the hands. This prevents
thieves from opening the handbag

GRADE CROSSING
CARE REQUIRED
Decisions of Courts Call for
Motorist to Be
Cautious.

Probably more serious accidents
occur among motorists at railroad
crossings than at any other points
in the highways. hardly a day pass
ing that does not see two or three
accidents of this kind chronicled
in the press. writes Leslie Childs.
legal editor of American Motorist.
in the current issue of that maga-
zine. These accidents have become
SO frequent and so serious that they
furnish a most potential argumen,
In favor of the abolishment of grade
crossings. In the light of all this,
1t behooves the motorist to know
Just what is expected of him by the
law at points of this kind.
From the cases reviewed II would
seem that the courts have placed
the duty to stop, look and listen
at railroad crossings squarely upon
the motorist. He cannot hope to
recover for injury received at points
of this kind unless he can show
entire freedom from contributory
negligence.
And in exercising the required
care he must Of necessity take into
consideration the physical sur
roundings OF the particular place
such as trees, houses. etc, that may
obstruct his view. II the surround
ings demand 1t, he must not only
stop, look and listen. but should get
out of is machine and walk ahead
to make certain the way Is clear
Unless he takes these precaution:
the probabilities are he will not be
free from an imputation of negli-
gence that will seriously interfere
with his right of recovery in case
of accident.

Even This

AGood Fine

Hailed before the Judge of the
Traffic Court and asked what he
had to say against the charge
made by the officer, that he was
exceeding the speed limit, the
arrested one offered as his ex-
cuse that he was chasing a
funeral"
Even in New York, where ex-
cuses are many and original, this
was the limit, and the Judge SO
intimated. The prisoner explain
ed he was an undertaken, and
that the funeral cortege had left
the church before he noticed
that the pallbearers had been
forgotten. whereupon he grabbed
the bearers and set out to over
take the funeral before 1t reach

Predicts Auto Scarcity
+ For the Spring Demand
Auto Shows VIII Start Better Business, Say,
Columbia Motors Official.

DETROIT, Dec. 2s-That We shall
witness q revival of business and
employment generally in 1891 is the
prediction of William E. Metzger,
one of the pioneers of the sutomo-
tive industry, a director OF the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, vice president of the Colum-
bia Motors Company, and an official
in various capacities in many other
concerns.s
Mr.. Metzger's cheerful prediction
Is based on his long experience in
many lines OF business, on first-
hand Information from some of the
greatest and far-seeing bankers
and manufacturers. and on a sum-
mary of fundamental conditions
just completed by the Columbia
Company. He expects 1921 to be q
year of sure, steady growth In
business and a period in which a
: years of prosperity.
There are two things for every
business man to do now says Mr..
; Metzger. "One Is to employ every
fair method to keep his wares NOV
ing for the next two or three
months. The other Is to lay plans
now for future business, that is
business three or four months
away. such as naturally comes with
the change of seasons in the
Spring. This applies to all lines
of business including retailing of
automobiles
Must Pay For War Waste
There is nothing mysterious or
alarming about the present situa-
tion- We and all other countries
are paying for the world war. 1t
caused a tremendous wastage of
men, money, effort and resources
and all that waste must be paid
for. Just as 1t takes a man who
has been Ill almost to the point
of death a long time to recover.
so 1t will take the world time to re-
cover. Some countries will re-
cuperate more quickly than others
because they were not so hard hit
by the war and because they have
the tremendous natural resources
for the creation of new agricul-
tural and manufactured wealth that
will make their convalescence not
only easy but quick. Such a one
is our country. For that reason
we should all be glad that we live
in the United States.
There are many signs now ap-
r parent that recovery in our cotntry
is, well under way. And those who
observe conditions abroad know
that reaction of a more favorable
character is prevalent in England.
France. Holland, Belgium, the Scan
dinayian and other countries.
America Ssnappiest, Nation.
Just because the demand for au-
tomobiles, to select a specific arti-
Gle as an example, has fallen of. st
continued Mr.. Metzger, does not a,
all signify that 1t will not revive
and soon This Is the fastest
thinking. the fastest-acting, the

day and 1t demands every facility
that will result in the best accom-
plishment in the shortest possible

Spare Latch.

In battery ignition systems there
is usually employed notched rotor
against which presses the latch or
tripper. with short springs attached
When this latch becomes worn the
entire system will fail to operate
properly, and 1t is wise precau-
tion to carry a spare latch in the
tool box. 1t is not difficult to re-
move and replace this latch. which
fits in but one way. SO that there is
no danger OF placing it wrong.
The Washington herald., 1920-12-26

car is inbred in the heart of every
American. and that desire has not
been abated one jot by present con-
ditions. The longer demand Is re-
pressed, the greater the buying re-
action when IL comes-and that will
be soon.
-Just now demand Is slow in all
lines. Home building has fallen on,
people are doing without shoes,
coats. hats. gloves and many other
things ordinarily regarded as ne
cessities, just as long as possible.
The result of this attitude has
been what?" asked Mr.. Metzger.
Liquidation everywhere and in
almost everything, to answer my
own question.
Reaction without Panic.
"on every stock market we have
seen impressive fall in the prices of
shares, but without the panic that
usually comes with such a condi-
tion. Wheat, corn. oats and other
grains, cattle. hogs, livestock, all
the lowest figure IL has seen IN
years. We all know what hap
pened to sugar. Copper is down to
AOSOAo PAACCS. AhC "OOl
ket took a severe tumble. Silk tum-
bled. Leather and hides are wa,
down. Coal, clothing and food are
on the toboggan. You can go
through the smallest towns in the
country today and find the mer-
chants there advertising sales at
price reductions. read and milk
are going down. Liquidation is the
order Of the day. but the very best
judges of the situation are agreed
that in many, essential commodities
ii has about run its course.
81 cite these facts because II is
just from such conditions as we
are now experiencing that a boom
in business springs. Keep that
statement in mind. The world must
buy. When 1t has made up its
mind that IL must have things and
that the prices at which IT can get
them are right, 1t will buy again
and more than ever before"
In the opinion of Mr.. Metzger the
next two or three months will be a
breathing spell following the period
of liquidation which is now about
over. In those two or three months
confidence in the future will be
reborn. And when confidence is
once more restored the revival OF
business follows naturally.
Turn For Better Here.
"As said before, signs are now
at hand that the turn has come
for the better" continued Mr.. Metz
ger. I'VE have passed through q
period of high money rates and
have just witnessed the FIRST ma.
terial break in call and time money
in New York. 1t will not be Ions
before lower money in New Yorl
will be reflected in lower rates al
over the country.
Another very favorable sign II
that which comes from our Fedora
Reserve system. For month aftel

problem of continued note expan
sion. Only recently came the frs
break with a reduction in demanC
for new loans or the continuation

MANY TAX EVADERS.
Firms Evade Luxury and Admission
levies.

Washington, April %. Despite
the governments war time appeal
for tax payments as patriotic duty,
more than 100000 firms and indiyd-
uals failed 70 make honest returns
under the revenue laws in the last
two years, the bureau of internal
revenue announced last night In a
six months drive, which ended Feb.
/, $19,051 900 in delinquent taxes were
collected, Commissioner Williams re-
ported.
A new roundup of alleged delin-
quents has been Instituted to cover
the tax period on which returns were
made March Is.
OF the total delinquents, 131, 1856
had not paid any income taxes and
an additional 44,260 did not pay the
two sources approximately 1000, =
900 was collected.
Discovery was made also, the re-
port said, that 164,590 firms had not
turned over to the government the
entire amount of the o-called luxury
taxes on sales and admissions. In
some cases, Mr.. Williams said, firms
failed to make any returns of the
collections. Internal revenue cOllec-
tors in all cases forced the delin-
quents to make good the entire
amount as well as pay a heavy pen
atty.
The bureau estimated that for the
present wear more than 1000 900
firms and individuals will pay fed
eral taxes. 1t is utilizing every ave-
nue. Of information to check up on
