one of the finest bridges in the entire Orient, the new Jones bridge.
The Jones Bridge is named in honor of the late Congressman w. A Jones
Of Virginia, author of the, Jones law of 1916 which promised the Filpinos
independence upon the establishment of a stable government.
The old Bridge of Spain is called "te mother of Mannas bridges" The

THE house to- house canvass simply
Slsn't done" That is, almost every
body in automobile merchandising
insists II Isn't done.
This Is a story OF what a. house
toulouse canvass has done and Is
doing for the Stratton- Bliss Com
pany, local Dodge Brothers dealers.
In September, when automobile
sales were in a countrywide slump,
the Stratton- bliss Company sold
more passenger and commercial cars
than in September, 1919: It also de-
aivered more. In October sthe COM
many sold within less than / per

exceeded deliveries for the latter
period. During the first ten days Of

yether, beat the same seventy days

What did It? A house to house
lnvass on passenger cars, an in

The canvass plan is not something

business, the live prospects being
those who probably can be sold within

those who may be sold after sixty

Talking About dolly" Whose Pen
Spills Philosophy and Hu1nor

reluctantly replying, "Well, / never
heard everybody say anything of good
of you in my life" He was one of the
boys who threw balls on her house,
and when not allowed to crawl over
the roof to recover it, he thought the
whole world felt as he did.
But we can trade last with polly"
We hear every day more good things
about her, and now that she is tndis-
posed, numerous are the calls to hear
from her and to tell you how they miss
her daily message in her inimitiabIe
column
We are not in the habit of throwing
bouquets promiscously, but out in the
highways, often the slurns, we know
that the world receives the stories of
Dolly Dalrymp1e with deep appre-
citation. though they do not know her
personally, she has friends everywhere.
and this time it is pleasure "to talk
behind her back" for we carry her a
broad message of appreciation after
the talk is done. She has the wondar-
full power of expressing in her own
style the sublime, the ridiculous and
the commonplace, and In her mission
with her pen she seems:
ITO chase the clouds of iife's tenn
pestuous hours,
To strew its short but weary way with
New hopes to raise, new feelings to
impart,
And pour celestial baisam on tho
heart:
For this to man was lovely woman
giv'n,
The last, best work, the noblest gift
