INCENTIVE BEHIND AUTOMOBILE SALES
 IS "IOVELY WOMAN

"The incentive behind the sales of 90 per cent of the automobiles is woman-lovely woman. This is my firm conviction after years of observation of sales psychology in this field,' says M R. Christian, of the Christian Love- lady Sales Company, local distributors of the Columbia Six.
 Europeans say that American men pamper their women, and to certain extent this is true. It is the constant provide his wife, his mother, or his sweetheart with the best and most pleasing things to which his toll can give expression in concrete form.
 "The husband who buys car may buy from motives of personal pride, yet back in his mind is the Knowledge that his wife will derive pleasure from it. The son buys to bring into the life of his mother a joy that she had not known before-the joy of drives into the country.
 "The lover buys with a sole eye to pleasing the fancy of his sweetheart, and it is she who often determines for him the make of car he purchases.
 This close contact with every day life is what makes automobile selling a real pleasure to the men in it. They know that every man who comes In to buy and does so, though he may not reveal his real motives, is swayed in his judgment by a woman who is dear to him."

WOMEN APPRECIATE
 MECHANICAL PART
 OF CAR PURCHASE

"The majority of women are proving buyers as men, remarked Sterling Ed wards of the Edwards Motor Co.,, yes terday.
 "It used to be thought that most wom- en were influenced in the selection Of a car by appearance alone. If the car body was pleasing to the eye it was thought she could be sold immediately without serious investigation of mechan- cai ability.
 But today women appreciate the Inn portance of mechanical excellence. When 1t comes to selecting a car for her own use the average woman is firmly hold ing up her reputation for securing the utmost value for every dollar she spends
 "The woman has had experience in driving cars herself. She knows not only what equipment is essential, but also what medium weight automobile Is the most convenient and easy for her tc drive. It conserves her strength, affords every advantage any car will offer and above all keeps her transportation costs at a minimum.
 "The up-to-date woman knows that she can get the most satisfactory mechanical service from such a car. She kndTs also that the purchase price will include every item of equipment that will make for riding and driving comfort. She sees to it that it does.
 And because these efficient econom- ical cars are purposely designed along sound, conservative lines that are always in style. her pride in the appearance o1 her car is entirely satisfied.

LLOYD GEORGE IS
 LOSER AT CLUB
Liberal Clubs Action All ways Regarded With PO-
 ltiical Significance

London, May s-(Reciprocal News serv- political significance attaches to the annual election of the Ma tional Liberal Club, which was held this week This club has always played a prominent part in liberal politics and was recently the scene of two receptions noted at the time as bound to be histor- jcal affairs in liberal history, one being for MT. Asquith and the other for MT. Lloyd George, leaders of the two sections of liberalism, the independents and CO., alitionists. Until then a true chad been observed by club members; the respective claims of the two sections were not dis cussed above a whisper; nobody desired a split in the club; nobody knew which sec ton predominated.
 After the receptions and speeches of the clubs two most prominent members, tongues were loosened and 1t was ob- served that the atmosphere was some what Asquthan. But still there was no means of accurately estimating forces. Lloyd George, meanwhile, had evidently failed outside to draw the liberal party as a whole into his plan for fusion with the conservative party.
 Then came the annual election of the general council or committee of the club. The Lloyd Georgians formed a committee to work for their candidates. The As quthians had no organization. They put up a number of candidates known to be as strongly anti-Lloyd George as any laborite. The fight concentrated on seven of the pronouncedly Lloyd Geor- gfan candidates identified in one way or another with the Coalition machine.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Associated Press


 New York, May 29.-Prmary cotton goods markets are showing a better tone in the past few days, following a decline in gray cloths. Yesterday buyers were paying 1sc yard higher for standard 3S1a inch 64x60s and 6Sx72s.
 There have been some price revisions on unbranded bleached muslins to meet the decline In gray cloths that has oc- cured in the past two or three weeks. One large house has also made re- vision downward of IS per cent on staple hosiery for immediate delivery. Jobbers have issued price lists for June sales. showing little or no important change in cotton goods prices owing to lack of production and long delays in getting goods ordered some time ago. Selling agencies are not making any price changes as they have no addi- tional goods to deliver promptly and buyers are not willing at this time to place future orders.
 Converters are complaining of at- tempts on the part of their customers to cancel goods that are delayed in de- livery on account of lack of transpor- tation facilities, and, in turn, some of the converters are trying to wipe out orders with finishers on which prompt deliveries could not be made because of similar difficulty.
 Bombed yarns are easier in some quarters and very moderate conces- sions are obtainable from a few spin ners on yarns to be made. Next week a wage scale of 15 per cent higher will go into effect in cotton manufacturing centers and contrary to early hopes the raw material market for mills does not soften any.
 Prices quoted are: Print cloths, 2S- inch 64x64s, 16A c; 64xCNs 15%c; 3S1s , inch 64x64s, 231sc; brown sheetigs, southern standards. 2Sc; denims, 2.20s, 44cs and 477sc; tickings. S-ounce. 55c; standard staple .ginghams, 27hc; prints. 23c; dress ginghams, 35c and 371ac.

Must Dobbin Be Lit Up?

In several states there Is law which requires each vehicle moving along she highways at night to display red light at the rear. This is sensible law. both for the motor vehicle and the horse drawn affair, says an editorial in the current issue of Motor Life Magazine But how about animals? Suppose you were driving along the highway some dark night and you ran into a COW which was being led by rope attached to a wagon, the animal having obstructed your view of the vehicles light. A judge in New York court had to pass on suit based on such circumstances and he decided it was incumbent upor the driver of the wagon to keep his light clear.
 Which brings us to the thought that ii it is sensible for slow-moving vehicles tt carry lights why should not slow-mwine animals also carry them? Cows and horses are rather bulky obstruction, b.it may we assume that the day is not fal distant when bossy and dobbin will be fitted with special light-carrying harnes: when they go strolling along at night or the roads?
