This confidence-inspiring perfor-
nance, he believes, is the most de-
sirable and valuable quality in
motor car-the quality which
nothing else can equal, and for
whose absence nothing else could
possibly compensate him.
He is quite sure that it is developed
to higher and more satisfying de-
gree in the Type 81 than in any
other automobile he has ever owned
or investigated.
Consequently, he is firmly and in
alicnably attached to his Cadillac.
He considers Type 81 the greatest
motor car performer in the world,
and believes that its uncquallcd
dependability stamps it the worlds
greatest motor car value.

TINE man who has owned Type

time, and experienced its wonder
full efficiency and dependability,
is vastly more interested in its
performance than in any other
consideration.
He realizes every day he drives it
that he has motor car which he
need not fear will fail him, and
which he can rely upon to accom-
phsh any transportation-task he

He feels uniformly secure in con-

other features for which the
Cadillac is admittedly famous.

$250,000 HINGES
ON CIDER RULING
Firm Says Sweet Variety Is Not Soft
Drink and Sues to Recover Taxes
"A Test Case.

BOSTON, Oct. PA sum running
above S250,000 hangs on the decision of
Judge Morton in the United States dis
trict court here on the question whether
cider is a soft drink.
The Sterling Cider Co of Sterling, in
a suit which brings the question before
the court, seeks to recover ,S4.24S, al
legged to have been collected from it as
taxes on sweet, cider under an internal
revenue provision. providing TO per
cent tax on soft drinks.
Attorney William w. Armstrong of
Rochester, n. Y, general counsel for the
National Cider & Vinegar Manufactur-
ers association, said yesterday that the
case was test case, which, if sustained
in this federal circuit, would affect a
quarter of million dollars in taxes sim
ilarly collected by the government all
over the country.
He declared in argument that the
United States circuit court of appeals
tanned the proposition that cider is not
a soft drink. He asserted that cider is
no more soft drink than water. tea Or
coffee.
Attorney Charles II. Hendler, special
counsel for the internal revenue bureau,
contended In argument that cider is q
soft drink and that taxes collected
thereon are legally collected. He de-
clared that cold tea, if put up in bot
ties and thus sold would be a soft
drink
Judge Morton, when taking the case
under adyisement, indicated that he
would return verdict in favor of the
plaintiff company unless he disagrees in
some major point with the findings of
the circuit court for the second circuit
in its decision.

agents of the service in their answers
indicating an almost universal shortage
of common labor and a very general de-
mand for skillful workmen in wide
variety of trades and occupations.
In Massachusetts, Connecticut and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The post
office department is anxious to discourage
the sending of small sized Christmas
cards and envelopes. The department an
nounced yesterday that the smallest size
of Christmas greetings and cards which
could be conveniently handled through
the mails was two and three-quarters by
four inches. Smaller sizes cannot be run
through the cancelling machines. making
hand cancellation necessary in the heart
of the rush season. The smaller sizes
cannot be tied in packages with the
larger sized letters and cards and there
is also not enough space ON them for
proper or easily decipherable addresses.

facturers and dealers are all asked to
shut down on the little cards and en-

HELD CENSUS TAKING WRONG
People Of the Middle Ages Believed
Divine Wrath Would Follow
Any Such Action.

II Is a very interesting fact in the
history Of census taking that although
a census system was used In Baby
lonia before $500 r. c., there is a long
gap, when nom was taken, from the
fall Of the Roman empire until the
Eighteen century. The register gen
eral for Great Britain states that the
reason for this interval is that the
belief was held in the Middle ages that
the anger Of heaven would be in
Cured. which the Bible mentions as fall.

numbered the people of Judah and
Israel.
The census was perfected In Baby
lonla about $500 B. c., each district
making It's own returns before the
consolidation of the empire and the
Capitalization Of administration about
2300 b. C. The British museum has
a number of tablets Of this period
which show the administration Of the
temple property, with agriculture.
stock raising and produce from farm
and garden. A hook compiled by Con.
fuclus in $50 B. c. dealt with the
enumeration of the Chinese. Fifteen
years later a census Of the children Of
captivity gives the number Of 1880,
with 1887 servants and 245 singing
men and women.
With the Greeks and the Romans Il
