Price readjustment in the automo-

about completed. judging from the

on the various makes of cars. The
new prices in many instances go
back to the figures of a few years
ago, notwithstanding, that the mod

better finish and such additional
equipment as cord tires and i'm
proved electrical apparatus.
In the opinion of students Of the
industry, the mid-year change has
now stabilized the industry to q
degree that is bringing increased
sales to all companies.

America is rapidly succumbing to the

said he went not to see the fight but to

whole thing and to sound warning
that, unless we turn from these sins
and follies of to-day, we shall certainly

by all the great peoples Of the past"
The pastor called the fight moral
carbuncle.
