Buick Dry Plate Clutch

The exclusive patented features of the Buick disc
clutch minimize the effort and skill necessary in
gear shifting, and at the same time provide a clutch
that is absolutely smooth and positive in operation.
Under this patented construction, the heavy rota-
ting parts of the clutch are carried by the fywheel
and only the. very light parts are carried by the trans
mission, which accounts for the transmission gears
not spinning after clutch is disengaged, thus pre-
venting the clashing of gears in shifting from one
speed to another.
The slightest pressure of the foot will disengagc this
smooth acting Buick clutch, which makes it especial
ly popular with women drivers and those who drive
much in congested traffic.

whether the price of the eggs that he
produces for his own table rises or
falls OF the three billion bushel corn
crop, something like six hundred mil
lion bushels only ordinarily enter the
markets. It is matter of great con-
Germ to the farmer what price he gets
for the part OF the corn crop that he
sells; but for the part of his crop
which remains on his farm. price fluc-
tuations are a matter of indifference.
1t Is a matter of concern to him, of
course, whether the hogs, cattle and
other animals which he feeds for the
market with corn rise or fall in price;
but it would involve double counting
for him to reckon a loss both on the
livestock fed and on the corn fed to
them. often in the past we have read
of enormous losses on Wall street
when there have been violent fluetua-
tions in the prices OF stocks, but those
losses have been largelyApaper losses.

Dorothy Dix Tails
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
waPad's highest Paid Woman Wrisss.
There's Always a Way.

Inere'S Always d way.
Mr w. L. George, the English novel
list, says that woman is lacking in
what our eolored friends call pro
Business if she doesn't find out on
her honeymoon whether swearing or
tears is most effective with her hus-
band.
A man is equally lacking in gump-
ton if he doesn't improve the same
shining hours by ascertaining the
magic formula which will make his
wife as dough in his hands and keep
her thinking that he is a romantic
hero seven feet high, who is com
bination of Solomon, and Pax Swan,
and Babe Ruth.
Considering that a mans happiness
and comfort, and most of his pros
perity are determined by the kind OF
wife he has, and his ability to get
along with her, and to induce her to
do the things he wants her to do. 1t
is a curious fact that so few men take
the trouble to study the psychology OF
the ladies to whom they are married,
SO that they may have, at least,
rudimentary idea of which way the
cat will jump under any given CIR
cun.stances. Still less do they know
how to make the cat jump at will, and
| in the direction they desire. ssis.
| Yet to manage a woman is, abb
surdly simple. 1t is only necessary
for the man to find out whether to
use the big stick, or glib tongue,
and then go to it.
Undoubtedly there are a few women
who enjoy having a master, who like
to be pulled about by the hair of their
| heads so to speak, and told where TO
| get on and where to get off, but the
| clinging vine kind of woman is about
as rare in these days as blue rose,
and a man needs to be very sure that
| he has gotten Patient Griselda as life
partner before he pulls the cave man
| stuff. Or else he will find himself in
| the hospital, or the divorce court.
| There is. however, a type of neu-
| rotic woman, the woman who is ut
| terly selfish. and heartless. and mean,
and who works herself up into hys-
! terieal RACES, or else shamS invalid
! ism, in order to get her way, who
never really loves any man who isn't
a brute, or respects a husband of
| whom she is not afraid. There is
something yellow in the makeup of
a woman of this kind, and she will
| lick the hand that beats her.
| Therefore, when a man finds he is
married to a woman who does not re-
spond to kind treatment. and who has
no code of honor or duty of her own,
| only two courses are open to him.
One is to leave her. The other is to
/ terrorize her. Fo- this type of woman
! the only motto is, .Treat 'em rough"
With the great majority of women
| diplomacy is the thing. They like to
be jollied along the domestic high
way, and any man who will do it may
lead his wife withersoever he chooses.

THE ToBoGGANING PRICES.

Further reductions in prices have
been announced here and there dur
ing the past week and current reports
for index numbers show an aecelerat-
ed fall abroad for the latest period, the
"Statist' number having declined
about 16 points during November
The domestic news regarding price
changes for the past week or more
while not SO striking as formerly.
shows that in some lines, particularly
in retail establishments, revision is
proceeding. In consequence many ar
ticles are now considerably below the
level they occupied when we entered
the war. and in some instances have
fallen to the level of 1913. This latter
is true of such important materials as
rubber, copper and a variety of others.
During the week also the readjust-
ment process has begun to make itself
felt In wages, important textile mills
announcing a cut of 22h per cent.
while other wage 10 auctions are under
consideration and will probably take
effect as soon as an understanding
with labor can be obtained.
There is an increasing amount Of
evidence says Henry Clews in his
Financial Review. that the ADLER labor
leaders, at least, recognize the iinpos-
sibility of maintaining war conditions
in wages at a time when war prices
are falling away. The readjustment
in retail prices which is now begin
ming to make Roadway. he says. also
gives good ground for the belief that
the readjustmeHt process is reaching
much more advanced stage and that
1t will accordingly be possible to re-
sume purchasing and manufacturing
on much larger scale in the near fu-
ture. Bankers and far-sighted OBJ
servers generally are advising the ac-
emulation of materials at present
prices in order to reduce costs of pro-
duction when demand revives.

the blue law movement. One of these

T. Manning, rector of Trinity church
here, who referred to the matters as
follows, in a recent sermon:
This proposed campaign for
strieter Sunday laws is one of those
well meant but misguided efforts
which do harm instead of good. tie
the cause they are intended to serve.
1t is impracticable, wrong in principle
and based on a narrow and imperfect
conception of Christian religion. 1t
would do far more to drive religion
out of the hearts of the people than
to draw them toward It..
we have no right to compel
religious observance of Sunday by law
The law should forbid all unnecessary
business on Sunday, and thus. as far
as /possible, secure to all their right
