"SILENCE is GOLDEN" applies to

Motor is beyond description. You simply have to
be shown. "Sient and Improves with use are terms
usually applied to perpetual motion theores---certany
not to motors
But they are fact. The man who loves the
mechanics of a Howard Watch, dreams of a car with
the silent motor
WHY'S knight is that Car:
Every moorst however experienced simply
cannot believe the claims OF the Knight Car.
The claims and the service are not in the Auto Class
at al---they something part But they are facts
that will convince when you see the Car

BIBLE VERSES KISSED
BY HARDING PRO-
PHETIC OF JUSTICE
Curiously Fitting Phrases
Touched by Lips of Other
Presidents

When Warren G. Harding took
the oath of office of President last
Friday he pressed his lips to the
holy writ, touching the following
passage from the sixth chapter,
eighth verse of Micah:
"What doth the Lord require Of
thee but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and walk humbly with thy
God?
From past inaugurations, rec
ords show the following list OF
passages selected from the Bible by
Presidents from Grant to Wilson:
U. s. Grant-Isaiah II: 2-3:
"And the spirit Of the Lord
shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowlege and of the fear
Of the Lord;
"And shall make him Of quick
understanding in the fear OF the
Lord; and he shall not judge after
the sight of his eyes, neither re-
prove after the hearing Of his
ears"
r. B. Hayes-11Sth Psalm; lib
"They compassed me about
yea, they compassed me about
but in the name of the Lord | will
destroy them.
'They compassed me about like
bees; they are quenched as the fire
of thorns; for in the name Of the
Lord | will destroy them.
"Thou hast thrust sore at me
that I might fall; but the Lord
helped me-"
James A. Garfeld-Proverbs 81; l
"The kings heart is in the hand
of the Lord, as the rivers of water
he tnrneth it whithersoever he
will"

PRECIOUS METAL ALREADY IN
THIS COUNTRY is WORTH

All Quarters Of the Globe.

New York-A vertiable flood OF
New York.--A veritable flood OF
gold is sweeping upon the shores
of the United States. Already the
precious metal in this country has at
tanned the unprecedented amount of
$3,O01, 4S7,915, and yet the tide is ris-
ing,
Financiers attribute this to the fact
that the United States is the world S
one creditor nation" and for the
equally important reason that the
other nations of the world find 1t we'll
nigh impossible to transact business
with this country, by reason OF their
own deprecated currency.
The precious metal is coming from
all quarters of the globe.
Sweden is sending gold received
from Germany for war supplies, also

chaks war chest
The local assay office, a new struc-
ture, whose modern equipment in
cludes huge vaults five floors below

Kreuzburg, Upper Silesia German
reichswehr officers have assumed con-
troll OF the Kreuzburg district; 1900

fend it against threatened attack
by Poles who are camped in front of
Rosenberg. The Polish army is es'
minated at 5000 with several score Of
machine guns.
The inter-alled officials are help
less, the Frehch troops having been
withdrawn two days ago for service
at Rybnik. The entente's representa-
tives are seven French civilians, a
British major and an Italian civilian.
Their position is not pleasant one;
the townspeople are highly excited
and are angry with the French for
having withdrawn their troops at a
critical time
The Polish attitude incensed the
German leaders, who notified the
inter-allied commission that the
Germans would hold no conversations
with the rebels and would not agree
to an exchange of prisoners, but if
the Poles carried their threats TO
shoot German police the Germans
would be forced to resprisals against
Polish prisoners.
