Yet gives her pleasure and satisfaction to interpret the
who stands courageousy against bgoted noer

"The creed Men and their first of which Oliver
Beresford is the ruthless advocate in Hail the Woman is

King Man do wrong! These people are of a men
tality that belongs rghfuy in Old Testament tme when
the bondswoman who could be cast out into the desert with
her child, seems to have been recognized institution
Hail the Woman shows the abysmal injustice of this
line of reasoning clear and pitless light 1t gives
striking picture of Oliver Beresford his SNUG, manade

that the boy is too weak to be light in the darkness of

But Judith Beresford has the strength of character not

courageousy espouses the of her brothers. ptfu

Auto Exhibit
Reveals Many
New wFeatures

1t is hardly possible to pick up
a newspaper these day without
noting reference to something
new in the motor-car industry.
Improvements in springs, bodies,
carburetors, motors and other i'm
portant working parts of the car
are seemingly every day affairs.
Altogether the tendency is to
decrease first cost as far as is con-
sistent with good workmanship
and material, keeping constantly
in mind the fact that long life
must be maintained and upkeep
cost must be held down to low
level.
The cost notable exception to
the general tendency to cut man
ufacturing costs by substituting
new materials, new designs, and
new methods of production, is the
automobile storage battery. The
staunchness with which the prin-
cipal battery manufacturers hold
to their standards and to the de-
tails of construction of their prod
uct is striking proof of their faith
that each is making battery
which is in his opinion, as good
as can be built.
Contrary to the general demand
for lower priced materials and
parts to be put into cars, one of
the largest battery manufactur-
ers, the Willard Storage Battery
company of Cleveland reports that
there is more general use than
ever before of their threaded rub
Der battery. This is higher
priced product than the otner
types Of automobile batteries
which 1t manufactures, but not
withstanding that fact, there are
l91 builders of motor cars and
trucks furnishing this battery as
standard equipment.

4. Industry is assuming share OF

cords.
7. A large appropriation for the

s. A variety ct other measures have
