dress. The ensuing speaker, Representa-
tive Garner, Texas, ranking Democrat if

Mr.. Fordney for not "devoting more than
ten minutes of his speech of about an
hour5S length to taxation"
Heckied as to why he voted to take the
railroads over during the war, Mr.. Ford
ney said
Il voted to put the President In
hole and we did
When attacked subsequently for this
statement, Mr.. Fordney demonstrated he
made it 'jokingly," but in his speech he
said our fooling and tampering with
the railroads cost us more than
$1,000, 100000, and Mr. Burleson shows
that 'fooling with the telephones cost
the people $14O00.OOO." His attack Gov

Wilson's trips to Paris, where he said he
"strutted around like a peacock to the
alleged making of a contract by the

hibition of Autographs, etchings, and
dry-points, will open in the Public Art
gallery on Sunday afternoon at 2
O'Clock with a public reception. The
New Years opening of the exhibition

studio in New York where he made a
dramatic sensation two years ago
upon his return from France where
he won the recognition of the French
government for his drawings in war

ent at the opening Sunday.
The exhibition surpasses in interest
that shown here last year as it con-
tains many figure studies, new field
into which the artist is projecting his
talent, having confined himself to
architecture and landscape heretofore.

handing, full of rhythm and feeling.

of an estate at Oyster Bay, New York.
The latter have been exhibited here
and abroad
FRENCH ART PIECES.
Some of the best of the lithographs
done in France, which were ex-
hlbited here last year, are included in
the present showing. The head Of
an old man in color which hangs il
the north gallery is worthy OF note. 1t
IS Autograph and to produce the
colors it was necessary to make the
drawing on four stones. Colored litho-
graphs are still in the experimental
stage and Mr.. Leigh enjoys the dis
tinction of being the first American
artist to make them
An informal musicale, arranged by
Josiah Marvel, who is in charge of the
reception, is to be given during the
New Years afternoon opening. The

Everyday Adventures
That Changes Everything

That Changes Everything
After you decided TO sell your
touring car along about the middle
of November-and you've been try
ing to find buyer ever since-until
now it looks as though you'd have
to hang onto it till springer
longer
Because you can't find anyone
who is even family interested in
picking up a good used car at a
fair price, and all the while you
have your eye on new closed car
that you'd like to have for your
family during the cold weather
But your bank account says go
easy there-sell the old car f1rst"
and SO it begins to look like a long
hard winter, with no sedan or any
thing
Until you think of trying little
ad in the Automobile columns OF
the Palladium's classified section
And That Changes Everything!
Because three prospective buyers
call to look over your car and you
sell it to one of them and put in an
order for the new car-all within
the three days you ordered your
ad to run in the Palladium.
