These cars were being driven at speeds
from to 70 miles per hour. They were
reeling off thousands of miles over all sorts
of roads in inter-city runs that set new
time marks. They were making new hill

So you must not view Essex economy
merely by its gasoline consumption. You
must also consider its endurance and relia-
bility.
If there were nothing more striking about
the Essex than its gasoline mileage, it would
be worthy subject Of our advertising But
important and impressive as that fact is,
does not its other qualities take first rank
in your consideration?

From the mere standpoint Of gasoline
mileage, Essex in its nationwide tests
showed a performance worthy of cars which
possess that advantage as their principal
quality.
Records were kept on 40 cars They aver
aged 1873 miles to the gallon.
But bear in mind this was not done by
taking advantage Of every device possible
to increase gasoline mileage. Under condi-
tons of that sort, Essex showed as high as
81 miles to the gallon. However, men don't
drive that way. How obviously unfair it
would be, therefore, to offer such carefully
economical fuel mileage tests as typical Of
all Essex cars.

formances adverse to gasoline economy OBJ

What S in a Name
LYDIA
Copyright

"
Lydia Is of Latin origin. She is one
of the feminine names derived from
places. AS Della comes from the
proper name in honor of the city of
Lydia which played such an important
part in early history.
Lydia has deep and reverent
Biblical significance since the first
Lydia was the seller Of purple who be-
came converted by st. Paul at Thya-
tira. Her story is contained in one of
the striking passages of the Acts.
Englishwomen, who seem especially
given to Scriptural names, adopted
Lydia quite early in history. The
name flourishes in the passages of
English literature and also has ex-
IRENE vogue in this country. Curious
ly enough, it seems to have escaped
translation into any other than the
English language.
LYDIA, a name not in common usage
but none the less musical, may pos
sibly be a contraction of Lydia. If
such Is the case, the name is no doubt
the outgrOwth of personal feminine
preference and without genealogical
sanction.
The yellow jacinth is Lydia's tails
lIdAlc SlOue. II Will guard ner from
danger and disease, particularly when
she is travelling. The wearer of a
jacinth need have no fear of lightning
since the stone is said to be proof
against that menacing element Ac-
cording to an old legend, jacinth will
break as a warning of the approach of
evil. Thursday is Lydia's lucky day
and her lucky number.
