FASHIONS IN FLOORS.


Isn't 1t remarkable that fashions
In some things change with such
rapidity thatowe can hardly keep
pace with them, and iu others they
remain stodgily the same from year
TO year?
Why should oak floors be a fore
gone conclusion? Why the ever
lasting tan for floor color? DO
you remember way back when"
quarter sawed golden oak furniture
was the envy of every young brides
neaIt! Golden oak is now as mucn
a thing of the past as the old oaken
bucket. Yet the oaken floor per-
sists.
My quarrel with 1t is that II is
often too light in the color scale
for the side walls and furniture.
The accepted rule in decoration is
to have the floors dark est in tone,
the side walls Lighter. and the CELL
Ing liGhtest. When unstained oak
is used this rule can be adhered to
crly by covering the oak. First we
insist on having it. then we cover
II up with rugs because we want
color.
Why not incorporate color into
the floor itself? This could be done
with either. stain or paint, or both.

use of going, pray tell me? The
few who could stand right against
the ropes could see something, but
they were the only ones. Even the
people in the motors could not see
because the ropes pushed the stand

them. Then one of the chief at

entirely gone-the opportunity to

BEAUTY CULTURE HINTS

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is
well kept to judge OF woman's
'neatness, or good taste. II you
are one of the few who try to
make the most of your hair, re-
member-that il is not advisable
to wa s h the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes,
but always use some good sham
poo. You can enjoy the very best
by getting some canthroN from
your druggist, dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of sham
poo liquid, enough so IL is easy
to apply it to all the hair Instead
of just the top of the head. DAN
drum. excess oil, and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that il
VIII look much heavier than il
Is. Its luster and softness will
also delight you, while the stim-
ulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.

Convincing evidence that the
public may have waited too long
in anticipation of the bottom hav
ing been reached in motor car AMI

Jordan announced a substantial

mess since the beginning of the
year.
4, These figures indicate that the
output and sales of the motor car
divisions for the first three months
of 1922 will approximately double
the business done during the cor
responding period last year.
Sales reported during January
and February were in excess of
$4,000 cars and this at the time
when sales are invariably at q low
point. This is considerably more
than double the business done in
the first two months of 1921.
March production of cars is at

ary, with commercial vehicles COM

Late returns from agricultural

THE NASH ENTERS
THE SPRING SEASON
ABOUT 0VERS0LD

With a complete line of twelve
new models and with prices re-
duced to rock bottom the Nash
Motors company enters the spring
season with orders for March ship
ment G7 per cent in excess of ship
ping orders the same month a
year ago. Factory records show
that in March last year 2,0S1 Nash
cars We're ordered out by dealers
and distributors throughout the
country while this years orders
for March shipment total 3,4S6
cars.
These figures include both six
and four cylinder models. The
company's four-cylinder car plant
at Milwaukee is completely over
sold and from all indications, ac-
cording TO officials of the Nash
Motors company, there will not be
Nash Fours enough at any time
this spring to meet the demand.
Practically the same situation APP
plies to the Nash Six plant at Ke-
nosha, where every effort is being
made to reach production in vol
ume sufficient to meet the de-
mand.
Orders received by the Nash
factory from distributors regard
ing April requirements show a
heavy increase over April of last
year when 3.211 cars were shipped.
Should the increase be proportion
ately as great as the March in
crease over year ago, the six
cylinder car plant also will face an
oversold condition.
THE attitude of the buying pub
lie toward the Nash product is

gratifying" said C. b. Voorhis,
vice president and director of sales.
I'VE would, of course, much prefer
to supply the demand with q
promptness that would eliminat :
the necessity of a buyer having to
wait for delivery of his car and the
factory therefore is making every
effort possible to meet the situa-
ton. But frankly we will not be
able to produce Nash four-cylinder
cars this spring in volume suffi-
cient TO meet the demand and |
doubt very seriously whether after
April | we will be able to produce
siX-cylinder cars in quantities that
will insure the buyer against de-
layed delivery. Many of our deal
ers have advised us that they now
are accepting orders on both the
Nash Six and Nash Four for de-
livery in turn as received by them.
THE unusually heavy spring de-
mand for Nash cars is not confined
to any one section OF the country,

CADILLAC CAR RUNS
ONE MILLION MILES

Can motor car run a million
miles?
James Hutton of Detroit claims
that his Cadillac-a one-cylinder
1904 model-has actually covered
that mileage.
This fact was brought to light
in the recent celebration of the
Cadillac Motor Car company's
commemoration of the 264th birth
day anniversary of Cadillac. found
er Of Detroit and namegiver of the
Cadillac car. Mr., Hutton's car led
the parade of Cadillac cars pre-
ceding the celebration.
The parade was composed Of
Cadillac cars of nearly every vim
tage and model, from the early
one-cylinders to the latest luxuri-
Gus eight-cylinders.
Greater faith in his car has no
man than Mr.. Hutton. Il honest
ly believe it will run as long as
there is ground in front of it," he
comments. II don't think 1t will
ever wear out"
The car has been in Mr.. Hutton's
possession since 1910. He has no
definite figures as to the mileage
during the six years previous to
his ownership, but estimates it az
about 100000 miles.
For the last twelve years it has
served in the dual role of delivery
car and power to operate carpet
cleaning machine. Mr.. Hutton es-
Inmates the motor runs on an aver
age of 200 miles a day when oper-
ating the vacuum outfit. 1t can
, easily be figured up what this
would amount to in a year.
Mr. Hutton points that wear and
tear on the mechanism. particu-
larly the transmission, is greater
when the car stands still with tho
motor in operation than when the
car is running. Since 1910 he has
had the transmission replaced

When Hudson and Essex re-
Gently announced a further price

AS fast as material prices and

the Hudson and Essex prices have

cut four times, and Essex five
times, since September 1920. This
probably sets a record in the in
