The distinction of performance
which rates the moderate-priced
Essex among the fine cars Of the
world IS by no means confined to
its greater speed. acceleraton and
hill-climbing ability.
Official proofs remove its su-
premacy IN those qualities from
debate. No car Of its motor size
ever matched them. Some Of its
marks were never equalled by
any car. regardless Of size, price
or type.
Thus Essex Takes Rank
With the Greatest Cars
Yet if one quality. more than
another. causes men to link Essex
IN merit with the costly cars. It IS
its ease of motion, and elastic
smoothness IN action. which have
no counterpart among light cars.

An Essex Advantage
That AuAccIain

That IS the enchanlment Essex
owners admit they value next to
its reliability. Even long associa-
ton they say does not dispel the
impression Of riding IN a large
car.
We know IN all candidness that
few men ever have call for such
speed and power as Essex pos
sesses Yet no owner mistakes If
for useless surplus. This excess
ability IS valued chiefly because It
does the ordinary task without
effort. And because men Ike to
have capacity that can meet ex-
cepdonal calls for power. speed
and acceleration. with an ease and
absence Of strain that brings no
concern as to its accomplishment.

Thanks Merchants
C. A. Harrington, Father Of Twins,
Given Prize Slips for Halo
ween Riddles

Wearing the smile that won't
come off" and displaying the great
est of pleasure at being the recip-
tent, on behalf of his sons, Of the
many valuable gifts of Alexandria
merchants to the first babies born
on Hallowe'e morning, Clarence A.
Harrington, at the Gazette Office
shortly before noon today and after
Identification, was handed the slips
that the merchants had signed and
left the office, amazed at the kind
ness displayed by the various stores
md the Gazette.
Mr.. Harrington is employed at the
Potomac Yards and has been a resi-
dent Of Alexandria practically all
his life. He was born in Loudoun
county and came here while very
young. He has been employed as a
clerk at Potomac Yards for some
time. !
Mrs. Harrington, the mother Of
the twin boys, who are, without
doubt, receiving the first Christmas
presents ever donated by Alexandria
merchants, was formerly Miss Sally
Cockrell.
The father of the twins author
lied a statement of thanks to the
merchants and to the Gazette for
fostering and carving out the gift
plan and stated that the mother
voiced the same opinion Of the plan
which has given their boys the big
gest outfit of gifts ever cornered
without cost.

Award Scholarships
Five Ex.Service Men Secure Prizes
Gwen by Y. NJ. c. A.

The educational committee of the
Y. NJ. c. A., met at the Westminster
building last night and awarded five
genera! scholarships to ex-service
men. One was in book keeping, one
n law. one in automobile mechanics,
one in electrical! engineering and one
70 craftsmanship.
This makes sixteen scholarships
awarded by the local educational COM
mittee of the "Y" and covers a wide
field of subjects. A. late ruling by the
War Work Council enables the local
committee to award scholarships to
men still in the service and several
of the marines and sailors have taken
advantage Of the opportunity.
William Campbell again wishes to
call attention TO the fact that the 10
cal committee has several hundred
dollars to spend on the ex-service or
service man. The money is to assist
them in any educational way in re-
sidence or by correspondence. Many
of tie scholarships are in the United
Y. NJ. C. 4. Schools and are taken by
correspondence.
Mr.. Campbell, who is chairman Of
ne educational committee, appea IS to
The public to put the local Y. NJ. c.
4. in touch with any young men who
might in any way be helped by the
local association. Cases are constant
ly coming up of young ex-service men
| who have discontinued their edrca,
ton because Of lack of funds, when
the local ~" could easily have helped
! them over the difficult period.
