PADDY, The Next-Best-Thing. BY
Gertrude Page, author of 'Love In
the Wilderness" etc. New York:
Frederick A. Stokes Company.
The next best thing" to being the
boy that was desired in her place ac-
counts for the naming Of Miss Paddy
in this romance Of youth Both nature
and clear intent on her own part join
hands to make of Paddy that combina-
tion Of activity. curiosity. daring, mis-
chief and ingenuity that figures under
the name Of boy. Daily adventures
by the dozen, talk Of the endless and
spontaneous variety and impulses of
generous and kindly sort mark the
growth Of Paddy from little girl to
young woman, with her own wedding
just around the corner of the COM
pleted story. Youth and gayety form
the keynote of the little romance that
has already made its bow upon the
stage in general atmosphere Of ap-
proval and delight.

These Are Bottom Prices!

No man can study the car at these figures with
out deciding that each and every model through
out the list is to be greatly underpriced- He can
not fail to conclude that these are rock bottom
prices-that he can in fact buy with full assurance
that he will get as low price as he would secure
by waiting. These quotations will be possible
only because of a most fortuitous combination of
circumstances, that are far from likely ever to
occur again. If you know automobiles, the
quickest way to show yourself that Westeott is
the great buy of the day is to check over every
other car at anywhere near the Westcott in speci-
fcations, size, power, equipment and hnish-and

donel It is utterly inconceivable that a car con-
tanning these units can be anything but depend
able and satisfactoqy-theb best of its kind.
And in this connection there are two points of
extreme importance to remember They are:
(1) that Westcott does not use just one or two of
these standard units for talking purposes, but all
of them big and little, in every part of the car;
and (2) that, to honest units, Westcott adds
twelve years of experience in combining these
parts into completely satisfactory car that
lasts long and performs wonderfully during all
the years of its long life.

A Better Car Too!

Far from being deprecated car, brought out
cheaply to make showing, the Westcott today is
a better automobile than the famous Westcotts
which have been 30 much advertised by their
appreciative owners.
Steel, leather and other materials are Of higher
quality, and labor is able and willing to produce
better results, than has been the case for long
time pash
Not niekel's worth of quality, nor a single
item Of equipment, has been taken off the West
cott. It still includes thermostatic control of
motor temperature, radimeter, electric cigar
lighter, clock, spot light socket, windshield clean
er, gasoline gauge on dash, eowl ventilator, ton
neau light, etc. It is the same distinctive, long
lived, dependable car that it has been for dozen
years-on!y moro so!

The arrival Of two thousand pounds
of grapefruit from Florida by air
plane brings to mind the runners OF
the Incas and the fresh fish that they
conveyed from the sea to the palaces
on Andean SUBMITS. Measured by the
effort II required the fish was the
greater luxury of the two, though by
the criterion of distance or speed the
grapefruit has it. So long as material
progress continues, the luxuries Of the
day foretell the comforts Of the NOR
row, says New York Sun. The other
day party of rich men flew to the
end Of Long Island, in order to save
a few minutes for golf. 1t would have
been equally good spenders twenty
years ago to keep an automobile for
running out to the golf links. For the
present the luxurious use Of the air
plane deserves encouragement. In
this case, as in others, luxury serves
as the scout for common use.

DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.

Il would greatly simplify the indus
trial and social problem If everybody
would grasp the fact that the great
function and purpose of all legitimate
business is to supply the needs and
wants of the population, and that the
aims of business should be to increase
constantly the supply. The effort
should be to meet the constantly ex-
panding wants of the people. There
Is no limit to them. There Is no dan
ger of over-production, so long as
production is kept In balance, so that
everybody has something to offer, In
the exchanges that is In demand, says
Nations Business. Every class and
group In the population is interested
in increasing production, so that the
standard of living may be constantly
raised. When this general function or
business is understood and all classes
concentrate upon 1t, the test Of every
policy will be the effect 1t has on pros
duction. 1t will soon be discovered
then that there is no other employ
ment for capital except in production
for the public market and in distribu-
ton thereupon. and therefore, that ac-
cumulations Of capital are beneficial to
the entire community, no matter who
owns them.

evident reason that the farmer cam
not bay as many clothes at the
present prices as when his own
compensation was on a. par with
the compensation OF these people
with whom he is trading services.
A similar problem faces the wage
carners in all the industries. The,
wage-workerss in agriculture have
tic situation before their eyes. and
have yielded to it promptly. The
wages Of farm hands have dropped
Approximately one-half. Farm hands
were close enough to the situation
to see that it was that or nothing.
The factory workers.. railroad en-
ployes and town workers generally
are many OF them working Tor the
farmers and viii. have to lace the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on a large scale because goods
cannot be sold, and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out OF balance. Recovery will
come as the balance is restored and
cannot come otherwise.
1t is greatly to the credit OF the
wage-earners as class that the
process of REIMBURSEMENT has pro-
cceded with as little friction as has
been the case thus far. Generally
there has been willingness to make
concessions. 1t is not advisable that
the movement should be unduly
pressed. It.is better to take more
time although dclay means that the
losses are greater, for the wage
earncrs are entitled to know why
lower wages are necessary. They
are. interested in having the neces-
sary readjustments made in order
that industry may be on a basis that
will afford steady and full em-
ployment. ~. ..-.,, =. ~

Just exactly what this recurring
phrase means is difficult to state.
1t might be descriptive of any OF a
dozen psychological changes that
could enter into the situation. II
it means that people generally have
begun to realize the causes. that
have thrown industry out OF bal
ancc. and to appreciate the@ things
p that must be corrected before con-
ditions come into equilibrium again,
then we should say that the re-
ported better feeling" constituted
an important advance toward nor
malcy! If. however, the better
feeling" means simply that people
are merely smiling and waiting
more patiently, rather than setting
themselves seriously to the task OF
wage and price reductions and other
readjustmcnts that are necessary,
then we fear that it signifies but
little. l'| ..... i.
There is fresh evidence constantly
that the establishments are, taking
place. They are slow, but it takes
time for knowledge of conditions
to reach all classes and divisions OF
the population, and for them to
make up their minds to give the
cooperation that is necessary to
bring industry back into balance.
Meanwhile, it will aid in the cultiva-
ton of patience to realize that con-
ditions are by no means SO bad as
they might be, and that considering
all the circumstances the volume OF
business. is really surprisingly large.
The fundamental difficulty upon
which a revival of business waits is
still the inequality of values as be-
tween the various classes of goods
and services. The normal basis of
trade between people in different
industries has been disturbed, and
it is only by the pressure of painful
experience that the old relations are
restored. '
The producers of cotton. corn and
oats, wool, hides. sugar and food
stuffs generally are getting no more
for their labor than before the war.
Among the principal items of ex-
pense to them is clothing. They
produce the raw material for it, but
under the modern system of indus
try sell it and buy it back in the
form of garments. paying the trans
portation charges, mill-Wcrkers,
garment-workers and all middle
men by supplying food and raw
materials to everybody.
All of the people who have part
in the conversion Of wool, cotton
and hides for the farmers use are
still getting 100 per cent or better
above pre-war wages, but naturally
: they are not all at work. for the

has been contended, and with much
force. that living costs should lead
rather than follow, wage reductions,
and they have led at the expense of
the earnings of farmers and at the
expense: of profits and dividends,
but they have reached point where
further price reductions are depend
ent upon wage reductions. These
reductions, however, will not mean
loss of purchasing power to wage
earners, for the very reason that
wages are now the principle factor
in prices, and the cost of living,
generally speaking. will decline
accordingly. LII ~. T. 81: 11s
On the other hand if further re-
auctions. are not made in the in
dustries indicated, living costs are
likely to rise Already the farmers
are organizing for the purpose of
curtai1ing the production of agri-
cultural products. The cotton crop
this year will be rs per, cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions to meet the de-
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtail the production of food
stuffs. These policies are justified
by the combinations of wage-earners
and others to maintain wages and
the prices of town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The whole system of restriction is
wrong and in the end defeats the
purpose in view of lettering living
conditions for those who practice it.
When everybody practices it the
result is poorer living conditions for
ALL. The best results will be OBJ
tanned for every group of workers
by a fair attitude toward others,
and by common policy to promote
the general good. ...--, RI
