PHI SIGMA CONSIDERS BONUS
TO Ex-sERvICE MEN

i : =
Phi Sigma Literary Society met
| in Phi Sigma Hall on Monday night,
April 18th. A lively subject was
discussed in lively way and the de-
lbate was Of deep interest to every
one present.
The question under debate was, Re-
solved: That a bill should be pass
| ed by Congress giving all ex-service
men thirty dollars for each month
| in service and one hundred dollars
additional for overseas service.
Mr.. Samuels Of the affirmative
made strong case for the cash
bonus saying that the United States
has done less for the service man
than any other nation. He cited the
case Of Australia in which each
service man received two hundred
and eighty dollars. He pointed to
the fact that the average civilian,
during the war, increased his savings
by eight hundred dollars while the
man in service was receiving thirty
dollars per month.
Mr.. Coffey followed for The nega-
tive and made his strong point the
fact that no price can be put on
patriotism.
Mr.. Purvis strengthened the strong
plea made by Mr.. Samuels.
Mr.. Brizeole the recond speaker
on the negative stressed the enormous
expenditures that this country has
already made and called attention
to the five liberty loans that are
now hanging over the country.
Although the judges rendered the
decision in favor Of the affirmative
several ex-service men arose, ex
tempore, and bitterly assailed the
cash bonus proposition.
The Society stood adjourned to
meet Monday night, April ~.

SERENITY OF vIscoUNT GREY

 I recall one memorable occasion when viscount Grey was really moved. Mir. Asquith, the prime minister, lead ing the house of lords fight. was, one evening. shouted down by the angry and unruly Tories. who furiously re- fused to hear a single word he had to say. It was a humiliating position flor a prime minister. Even Mr As- -luith, with an iron nerve backed by all the experience of the old parlia- mentarian, sank back to his seat with a white, enfeebled look of impotence, almost of shame. The Tories, who had made MT. Asquith their chief villain, loudly demanded that someone else should speak for the government. They were determined not to hear the prime minister himself. Without a word to his colleagues on the right or left, Sir Edward Grey rose to the table of the house, a tall, calm figure, though there was a touch of color in his usually pale face. "Our selected chief and spokesman has been refused hearing" he said. T speak for all of his and my colleagues and for all one of us will utter a word in the of our supporters when I say that not

 Coal Strike

During the recent coal strike, when the lid was down on factories using electric power. George Davis, presi- dent of the G. NJ Davis Regulator Company. 422 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago was in quandary.
 Lots of reducing valves >had to be turned out on government orders for marine installation.
 After conferring with his various shop foremen, they decided to take the Mitchell car which MT. Davis had been using and rig it up in the factor by placing pulleys .on the rear axle shafts and conecting up a 220-volt generator. When the full load was on the belts would slip. They replaced the rear wheels. which were shod with United States royal cord tires, and when the power was turned on there was no slippage under the full load
 This power plant ran 24 hours a day for i2 consecutive days, and the tires were as good as new after this se- we're gruelling.
 This power plant supplied the fac- tory with current for lighting, and power for the various milling, grinding and drilling machines throughout the duration of the strike and the output of the factory was not curtailed in any respect due to the faithfulness of the Victory Mitchell and the United States royal cord tires.

President of COrbitt Motor Truck Company Discusses
 Outlook for the Year

Nineteen-twenty has arrived as many predicted, the greatest truck year in motor history The output of motor truck factories today is assum- ing immense proportions in an ecort to supply the great demand.
 Modern business conditions, the de- mand for great production in all lines the necessity of quick deliveries plus the wonderful transportation lesson the war taugnt US, are factors that compel the live business firm, the manufacturer and the progressive farmer to turn his attention towards motor trucks.
 Truck purchasers of today are motor wise" says R, J. Corbitt, president oi the Corbitt Motor Truck Company Henderson, N. C., "and in making theil purchases demand truck that repre- sents a judicious investment instead oi a constant liability"
 The Corbitt motor truck represents all that years of experience, exjert workmen and constant effort to at tain perfection can produce Its rugged powerful construction; its standard units, it's standard reputation of ef- dciency and economical operation are features that are responsible for the countrywide demand for the popular trucks.
 The ability of the Corbit motor truck to stay on the job day after day, to remain complete stranger to the e. pair shop anG to operate at the vary lowest of cost figures, have made hun dreds of enthusiastic Corf,it. cwners n the south.

WESTCOTT OWNERS

Loyalty of Purchasers Is Bringing New Customers
 for Westcott Cars

''The loyalty and enthusiasm of own CTS of Westcott cars has been a real factor in the success of the company and a genuine aid to it's distributors ? says w H. Young of Standard Motor Company. local distributors for the Westcott
 We have found that a large number of our sales can be traced back to in- terest aroused by Westcott owners who have spoken to their friends of the per- formance of their cars.
 We have learned that this feeling of loyalty means that Westcott owners continue to be Westcott buyers, and are willing, if necessary, to wait for de- livery rather than purchase some other car
 Our own experience is borne out by an inquiry just made by the westcoti Motor Car Company, according to a let ter which we have received from the factory. Letters making inquiry as tc the service of the cars were addressed to all Westcott owners, and of the re- plies already received more than st per cent express complete satisfaction Where even the slightest detail aas not been fully up to standard -or where there has been a complaint against dealer service the company has counted this as failure to give complete satis- faction.

COLD WEATHER NO
 TROUBLE WITH COLE
New Models Avoid Annoy ance of Bad Condition in
 Wintertime

"A feature that causes the motorist no little worry. especially in cold weather" said James Howard, sales manager of the Taylor Motor Com pany, 'is the trouble experienced in starting the motor and securing per feet earburetion while the motor is cold. In the Cole Aero Height models this has been eliminated permanently by the employment of special hot spot msnifolds. These manifolds, as de- signed by the Cole engineers, heat the raw fuel as 1t comes from the carbure- tor and before it passes into the com bustion chambers of the cylinders.
 The construction of the manifo1ds is most simple and the principle is readi ly understood The central intake manifold is of the best grade aluminium, lined with bakelite, and is enclosed in an aluminium heat jacket Exhaust gases emanating from the cylinders pass through the exhaust manifolds and part of it circulates through the heat jacket of the intake manifold. In this way the gasoline is heated to the proper temperature in the intake mani fold and an accurate vaporizatdon of the fuel is secured, and made more readily combustible. before it passes to the combustion chambers of the cylin- ders for ignition
 This unique system of manifolds eliminates the common trouble of start ing the motor in cold weather, assures the motorist perfect carburetion under all conditions and utilizes all the fuel that is taken from the varburetor."
