JAZZ

Jazz has become the national an
them, says Rev. Percy Stickney
Grant, prominent Episcopal clergy
man of New York.
He is right, but a few months be-
hind.
Jazz was the national anthem.
Now it's losing it's grip, preparing to
depart. Wholesomeness is slowly re-
turning. America, distracted by the
war, is getting control of its nerves
again.
Plato. reporter for Socrates, said
. that whenever modes of music
change, morals change.
Morals are getting better in Amer
ica-especially business morals.

DIVORCE Lawyers in Sweden cheek

year is the "crisis" in married life.
That's when mates are most likely

Sir George Lewis, Ehgland's fash

Both of them are wrong. The real
danger period in married life is be-
fore the knot is tied-when he or she
picks the wrong mate.
Men and women are called on to
make many important decisions in

WAS ENTIRE FIRM
J. r. johnson Was Manager,
Salesman and Mechanic.
Now Has Force of Eight Men
and Large Business.

When ]. r. johnson started his mo-
tor company in Topeka, he appointed
himself general manager, automobile
salesman, and chief mechanic in the
establishment. He had one man to
act as the rest of the force. He was
located at ell Quincy street, with
about five thousand square feet of
floor space
later to the month, he moved into
larger quarters at 526 and 52S Quincy,
with a floor space of thirteen thou
sand two hundred and eighty square
feet. His force now numbers eight
men.
When he began, he sold only the
Oakland car, at that time a four CYL
inder automobile. Now he sells the
Oakland, the Storms, oil, gasoline and
accessories. He conducts service de-
partment and a storage department.
The first Oakland he ever sold is
still running in Topeka, johnson says.
Charles Lagerstrom was the original
buyer. Lagerstrom later sold it to
someone else, and it is still on the
job in town.
johnson took over the stearns
agency in May of 1921. He has just
received the first new Stearns Six
model in Topeka. It was brought out
the first of August.
Has the Oakland Agency.
The real pride of his heart. however.
is the Oakland. He mas mad an agency
for that automobile longer than any
other dealer In Topeka has kept the
agency for any one car.
When he first took the agency in
1912. it was only four-cylinder car.
/ In 1916, the Oakland company started
manufacturing an eight-cylinder car,
and later in the same year they
brought out a six-cylinder automobile.
New features have been added and
when the new Oakland Six came out
this spring, It had a number of inn
provements. It has a, new body design
which is receiving favor everywhere.
The cylinder walls are being honed by
a new process and there is a. new type
piston ring, which enable the Oakland
company to offer a guarantee of fiji
teen thousand miles against excessive
oil in the combustion chambers.
The gears are being made spiral in
stead of beveled, and the motor is
completely closed. The Oakland Is
one of the few moderately-priced cars
in which the camshaft is driven by
more silent chain from sprocket on
the camshaft.
It is made in a sport model. five
passenger touring car, two-passenger
coupe, four-passenger coupe, five-pas-
senger sedan and two-passenger road

IS A SQUARE DEAL
e. A. Burkhart Started in Bush
ness Year Ago.
Is in Charge of Willard Agency
on West Fourth.

e. A. Burkhart, who has the Will
lard agency at 112 West Fourth street,
is a graduate of Washburn academy
and later Of Washburn college. He
was president of the freshman class
while he was in college and was cap
tain of both the academy and college
football teams. After leaving college
in 1912 Burkhart worked five years
for the Santa Fe Ind four years for
the Keele Battery company. He then
started into business for himself with
the Willard agency at Usage City,
but was there only a few months due
to the fact that he secured the agency
eor the Willard battery in Topeka.
That was a little over year ago and
at that time he had as his employees
only Herbert Kerle and Mrs. Bennett.
Now he employees six men and is in
need of another.
100 Per Cent Increase in Business.
His business has increased 100 per
cent since he started and is rapidly
growing. Rainy weather is bad for
business but despite the rainy July he
sold SIS batteries. An average of rs
cars needing testing or batteries re-
charged go thru his shop every day.
He has floor space of go by rs feet
and 1t is unusually clean and lmmacu-
late for a repair shop, especially when
so many cars are worked on daily.
Burkhart says that his college
friends help him a lot by giving him
their business but they tell you that
friendship is not altogether respon-
sible for this. It's because they know
he is dependable and can be relied
upon to do the work right. When they
buy a new battery of Burkhart they
are sure they are getting a new one
because he forms all his batteries. It
is the same way with all his business
transactions. He believes in square
deal.
