WANTS PLAIN TALK
FROM PLAIN JANE

Editor Times:
BOY, PAGE PLAIN JANE. We
have not heard form you for a long
time Plain Jane; so many things hap
pening that we need your plain talk
to straighten things out. Higher-ups
are predicting political revolution
The labor and capital question has
Our present administration in a state
Of frenzy. but what we need you for
Plain Jane is in connection with 10
cal uphcaval" that may reach beyond
control without your mediation and
plain advice.
Quite recently. the mason Valley

denounced the gossiping and sland-
crous tongue 1t was all to the
good Next comes our times with
an article signed "a Member" and
relating some OF the tribulations of a
social gathering. alluding to the "curt
manners" of some present. who were
alsi fellow members of other organiza-
tions.' The writer finished very
nicely on the topic. Seek More Har-
mony,'' a most worthy motto
Then comes the next issue OF the
"News" with the same article. signed
"E. p" but with several additional
lines. referring to the yellow streak
OF selfishness." These last lines seem
to qualify "a Members" article. =
Now then. Plain Jane. the News,
"A Member" and "E. p arc all OH
the same track and we wish to hear
from you, through your medium. The
Times"
We cannot imagine you "giggling
flappcr," nor do we think of you as
"bluc-spcctaclcd old maid" We
have seen wisdom in your plainness
so tell us, Plain Jane. i'll your plain

that-Envy leads to slandcr, malice
and self debascmcnt.
That-Foolish "high-brow" and "low

Distinguishing fine are an absudrity.
That-Clothes never did make hu-

that ladies and gentlemen do not use
the expressions high brow and "low

That-"E. P's" surprises at the curt

Envy and malice are known to ex'

These are the factors, Plain Jane

WINS FIGHT WITH FISH
Diver Caught Under Water by Mon
ster of the Deep.

Battling for his life fifty feet be-
meath the surface OF Puget Sound,
Walter McCray, diver, known in
marine circles from Alaska to Cali
fornia, came out victorious at Tacoma,
Wash, recently over a giant devil
fish.
The monster wound its tcntacles SO
tightly about McCray that the diver
was unable to reach the knife he car
ries for protection. When one ten
tscle threatened to cut off the air
supply, McCray, through the subma-
rine telephone. called for a short steel
wrecking bar. With this weapon he
was able TO pierce the body of the
devil fish, and at last, with man and
monster still struggling desperately,
McCray was drawn to the surface by
his assistant and other men called to
help.
While Richard Burnett, a dock
watchman. stood by with drawn pis-
tolls unable to shoot because the diver
and devil fish were so completely
tangled. others attacked with what
weapons there were ut hand, and
finally the devil fish released it's hold
and disappeared beneath the water.
The devil fish was one of the Iarg-
est ever seen in these waters.

ELGIN DISPLAYS
SURPRISE MODEL
Shows New Car, Existence of
Which Was Unknown
in Trade.

An entirely new model exhibited by
the Elgin Motor Car Corporation comes
as q surprise, as no hint of this new car
was given out at the factory until a
few days before the opening OF the
Automobile Show.
This car, which embodie; numerous
advanced engineering features, has been
so closely guarded in its development
during the last two years that only a
very few men even In the Eigin or
ganizat!on have known OF It's existence.
A cutout chassis and a complete tour
ing car OF the new model on display mt
the Grand Central Palace will no doubt
attract considerable interest among the
motoring public az well as among those
In the trade.
The new motor design embodies cir
culating pressure feed fabrication. oil
pressure being regulated by O patented
vacuum control. OIL Is pumped through
a hollow crankshaft as we'll as through
the rocker arm shafts operating the
valves, and az tho oil Is constantly
circulating 1t acts as cooling medium.
keeping the temperature down on the
parts being fabricated. The combined
results of this circulating pressure oiling
system have effected a great reduction
OF the frictional losses with CORE
spending increase of horse power, which
has been increased from thirty-sevei
brake horse power to forty-six brake
horse power In the new motor.
The frame has been made much
stronger, with running boards riveted
direct to the frame side members. Will n
are ~ inches deep. This prevents
twisting Of the side rails and does away
with the sheet metal running board
apron.
An entirely new rear spring suspen-
sion Is used. two half elliptic springs
being mounted crosswise back OF the
rear axle. The upper rear cross spring
is shorter and sitter than the lower
spring. reducing the period OF vibra-
tion. which Is an important factor In
increasing the riding comfort OF the car
Another noteworthy feature is the
absence OF grease and oil cups under
the car. Special "never OIL bushings
for all springs, spring hangers. brake
shafts. &C., save the owner from the un-
pleasant task Of oiling and greasing
