MILADY s CAR.

Here is the way in which manu-
facturer sizes up the woman in relation
to the car:
First" says he, "thc car must have
good lines. She knows their value in
her own figure and in her surround
ings She can appreciate symmetry of
design and she knows when anything
has that peculiar quality we call it
balance. Then the color must be right,
for woman knows what color is. She
has an instructive sense of color, of the
appropriateness of color schemes, not
possessed by the male animal. If the
lines are good, if the color is right, if
the car has an atmosphere of refinement
the woman begins to like the car with
her first look. So she steps up to 1t and her
first physical act is to put her hand
on the leather. If it is soft and pleasing
to the touch, if it is carefully laid on,
the car scores a second point. Next the
woman steps in and sits down. If the
maker has studied the average height
of q person, if the has tilted his seat at
comfortable angle, if he springs are
deep and yielding and the arm rest is
just right, if the woman feels she is settling
down TO ride in the car instead of on it
then she begins to enjoy herself. She
looks more care1uily at ire Httings,
the rug on the floor, the artistic hard
ware. She is glad to see whatever un-
usual devices the manufactures has
added for her special comfort and con-
venience. She looks up and sees her
husband at the wheel He is sitting
back in a comfortable driving position,
levers and wheel within easy reach,
pedals Just right. Then she begins
to think how she will look riding down
the avenue-she thinks how the car
will set off that new gown to advantage.
And the picture pleases her"

averaging 80 miles TO gallon of gasoline.
This was 5 miles over the mileage obtain

saved the owner one cent per mile on gaso-

dollars per thousand miles, those who use

MEMS CLOTHES TO ADVANCE IN PRICE,
 STATES MERCHANT

That a good suit of clothes will cost in the neighborhood of $1o0 next spring is the statement of Roy Woods, promi- nent Knoxville merchant and head of the firm of Woods & Taylor, who is visit ing in Birmingham.

It costs p per ceut to do business, which means that bv selling that $7S suit for s110 we make a net profit of only about v a suit. The cheapest suit in this standard line will retail for sso and will be about the same grade as that formerly sold for s25.

Washington. January 4.-Plans of the communist and communist labor parties, against whom the great raids by government agents inaugurated Friday night are directed, to gain con- trol of all labor organization as the means of fomenting revolution were revealed tonight in documents made public by the Department of Justice.
 Assistant Attorney General Garvan were seized in several cities. with the desire, he said, that the American peo- pie learn "the real purposes of these menacing groups and the nature of the poison they were spreading"
 Department agents in many cities continued today the work of running down and interrogating members of the two organizations. Officials said it was distinctly surprising that each party numbered so many American citizens in its membership. The party rolls were said to carry the names of many persons well known in their re- spective communities and American citizens. Although there is no federal law under which the American com munists can be dealt with. department agents were not overlooking these Their cases will be turned over to state governments. Two hundred and eighty persons arrested today in De- troit were added to the list of those taken into custody. which is fast ap- preaching 4500.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans. January 4.-Somethlng of a revival in the spot demand and re- ports ef the largest business ever known among the mills gave the cotton market an upward tread last week.

 Further breaks in foreign exchange rates, continued high call money rates and a disposition on the part of banking authorities to curb specuiations were, in some measures, g restraining influence on the market, but, in the end, the evidence of a somewhat improved spot demand al somewhat higher prices proved stronger than the features against the market

 The illustration from the text, Dr. Ed monds stated, did not represent the ideal character because one was full of emo tion and feeling but lacked the power to perform, while the other had no emotion, but had the power of performance The ideal he pointed out was the person who had both feeling and the quality of per formance. 'We so often run across the person who is full of emotion and prom ises to do everything he tells you he wtN do," said pr. Edmonds. "I have found that this type has most attractive per- sonality, and is often fond of quoting the Bible, and all of the poets, but have also found that they lacked the ability to perform. By letting themselves run too much to sentiment they had lost the power to redeem their resolutions and their promises They gradually slip down and down, until they have literally lost their backbone and their will power. You may ask the reason for their evil dent lack of performance. It is because they have read too many books of soft sentiment, seen many picture shows and heard too sermons not lived out in actual life. I would rather have you not come to church, get exhilirated spiritually and then 20 out into to the world and forget the promises made to yourself to live right. Don't let your character become fluid Promise less and do more
