NEW CAR
1N1:l!||::!Gl|
What's the Difference?

Suppose you own new Car which you
have driven only $500 miles. Sup
pose you and yours decide that you
want a larger car, a smaller car, a
closed car, or an open car, as the case
may be. Suppose you know that your
car has 5000 more miles of good stuff
left in it. Suppose though that on
Monday morning you trade your car
in on new car which will satisfy your
personal desires better.
Sunday noon your car was a compara-
tively new one. But on Monday noon
identically the same car, with the same
engine, same tires, same everything,
has become used car. Is it any the
less capable? Is it any the less good
looking? Is it any less comfortable?
Has it any less ability to turn hours
into minutes, loss into profit, discon-
tent into happiness, or pale cheeks into
roses?

Just because, for perfectly sound rea-
sons, you have scratched out the word
new" and substituted the word
used" is that car any less a good
automobile than it was just few
hours before? Hardly.
Our used cars were all turned in on
new ones for similarly sound reasons.
Cars which are approaching the worm
out stage and which are mechanically
unfit. unhealthy, and unsound, are
never offered for sale by US. They are
accepted in trade at junk prices, and
they are steered quickly to the nearest
junk heap. Here we have only good
used cars, cars which have been thor
oughly inspected, cars which we are
proud to sell.
For your sake, for your fannily's sake,
and for your pocket-book's sake, we
urge you to come and see them.

BIRMINGHAM'S OBSERVANCE
 OF MUSIC WEEK

Popular and yet cultural programs have marked National Music Week in Birmingham. The amount of trained local talent brought out has demonstrated Birmingham's ability to pre- sent musical events of real merit
 The district has choruses that sing with taste precision and confidence. The brass bands of the mills and factories, while they have not reached high point of musical excellence, play well what they attempt to play. The Boys In- dustrial School band has won its spurs on many occasions
 There are piano and organ soloists and ac- companists in Birmingham who have few su- -periors anywhere. There are also brilliant vo- calists and capable conductors. In addition to this local talent there is a musical cult in Bir- mingham that has developed to point where great things may be done in a musical way.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
DR. HENDRIxs BEAUTIFUL SERMON
 ON MUSIC

''When heard Dr. W. R. Hendrix preach his beautiful sermon on music last Sunday at Highlands Methodist church I wished very much that had asked my stenographer to at tend the services and make a stenographic re- port of the sermon" said Charles F. Rice.
 "Dr. Hendrix's sermon was the most masterly dissertation on music that I have ever heard i; the choice language in which it was couched, the beautiful idea that permeated the discourse, the high pinnacles on which he placed music with regard to morals was one of the finest things I ever heard, and the thought occurred to me that ought to have had report made of it verbatim and perhaps have it printed in pamphlet form so that everybody in Birming ham could have copy of it and keep it as a souvenir of National Music Week. Dr. Hendrix is so human that any subject he touches has that persuasive touch which is most attractive and appealing and he has never done more beautiful bit of word painting than he did on the subject of music"

LOVERS LANES"
From the Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal
 little gray cottage stands on a hilton Below the millrun the cross-road. There is not much gravel on the road-it serves to connect two highways
 ottentimes the cross-road takes it's way close to the foot of some deeply wooded knoll and sometimes it goes over a creek, quivering under its icy cover Then the two ends of the road meet by means of little bridge, where the hoofbeats of the horse echo loud, and the sound of the motor becomes giant dynamo. Some times the cross-road is overarched with trees. as 1t is below the gray cottage and the summer sunlight only filters through in patches-such compelling, mysterious intimacy as there is to the cross-road then.
 The young folks call the cross-road "Loyers' Lane'' The old folks used to call it "Lovers Lane," when they were young and drove under the arched branches or jingled over the road in seighs, while the round moon laid the shadows of the black branches meeting overhead in etch- ings the snow.
 Lovers Lane"-every county owns one, There "Lovers' Lane,' in Sangamon county, Illinois, and Abe Lincoln walked alnoe it with Ann Rutledge in the '30's. Soldiers sang about "Lovers' Lane." May all the lit tie crossroads that now are lovers lanes never, never become arterial highways!

WHY BRAND sTAMMERED

From the Delineator
 beautiful example of courtesy was shown recently by Premier Briand of France during ceremony at which he conferred medal of honor upon an American soldier. Monsieur Briand does not speak English; the Amer ican soldier spoke no French. The boy had, however, learned little French speech. But when he rose before the distinguished audience, the French words deserted him, He began, got through the first sentence, -stuttered in the second, hesitated, reached into his mind in vain for the rest of the foreign word--and then finished his thanks in English.
 The expression of the face of the French Premier never changed. When the boy had finished speaking, Monsieur Brand began a few English words he had learned: 'I have a great affection for your country and vene- ration for" He hesitated-and finished in French.
 It was delicate way to make the soldier feel that the premier of France was as poorly equipped in the soldiers language as the sol dier had been in French. And this is manners. Back of that kind act was solely desire to make a fellow being more comfortable.

STREETS SHOULD BE BETTER
 LIGHTED

It was reported at the city hall yesterday that the city commission had opened negotiations for improving the street lighting system of Bir- mingham. Apparently this matter has been taken up in a leisurely way, which may mean ac- tion at sometime soon or in the dim and distant future. I
 Birmingham not only needs more street lights, but type with greater Illuminating power than any now in use. city that is well lighted at night enjoys protection from crime that the most vgant police department cannot always provide, apart from the greater con- venience to its inhabitants who use the streets for business or pleasure.
 One reason why Birmingham is notorious as one of the poorest lighted cities of the size in the country is the fact that lights are not only comparatively few in number, out those we have are so feeble that they seem merely to in tensify the gloom in certain parts of town where they are needed most.
 No city can claim to be progressive and mod ern unless it has an adequate street Illuminating system It is to be hoped that the commission will lose time in drawing up contract that will insure powerful lights and plenty of them.

DEVALERA STILL FOMENTING
 TROUBLE IN IRELAND

Speaking at Cork, DeValera said that Ire land was in greater danger than at any time in the past 750 years. And therein spoke the typical demagogue, DeValera knew, and his hearers, except probably the most ignorant among them, knew that such a statement was a studied exaggeration, made for oratOrical and political effect
 Ireland has a greater opportunity for pros perity, permanent peace and independence than she has ever had before in her more than seven centuries struggle for freedom. DeValera goes about making speeches and urging his deluded followers to stand by the Irish republic, but what can he offer them except continued blood shed and the ruin of their country? If the dis gruntled element in Ireland should force the British government into warfare the most drastic measures would be supported by public sentiment, both in England and throughout the world, however much the necessity for such ac- ton might be deplored-
 It is most unfortunate for the Irish people and for Great Britain, which has made gener- ous and fair offer to settle the Irish contro- versy on a permanent basis and for the best interests of all concerned, that the Devalera faction continues to be an obstacle of peace.
 Devalera takes a malicious delight in ram ming King George down the throats of his hearers, but if the Irish people would agree to the reasonable terms made them King George  would soon be almost remote figure to them asshe is to the Canadians, the Australians liverer has turned into a quarrelsome old woman.

AVERAGE CONGRESSMAN THINKS
 OF THE VOTER FIRST

In announcing to his fellow republicans of the Eighteenth Illinois district that he would not be candidate for reelection to Congress, where he has served for 50 years, ''Uncle Joe" Cannon made one statement that is worthy of more than passing remark. 'I have confi- dence," he wrote, ''that my successor, whoever he may be, will not alone represent the local and perhaps selfish interests of the Eighteenth district, but also the broader national sent- ment and interests of the American people for if I have been credited with supporting policies for the whole people, regardless of section, it has been largely due to the fact that repre- sent people who took the same comprehensive view of the nation whole and were ever willing to subordinate their immediate de- sire to the welfare of the whole country"
 In this eulogy of his constituents the polite Uncle Joe" may have paid them a greater compliment than they actually deserve but he brought out one of the principal reasons why the American system of government is not all it should be. There is too much sectionalsm pNAAeANA. country, lived up to by most of our official representatives in Congress- that a man is sent to Washington to grind an ax for his own con stituents, to get all he can for them and his dis trict out of the government coffers and de- vote himself exclusively to their own selfish interests
 This attitude, and the fact that every mem- Der of Congress must of necessity Keep his fences in repair" makes a senator or a repre- sentative ask himself not how he can best serve his country and all the American people, but what his constituents back home will say if he votes for or against a measure. As result, every day Congress is in session we see the spectacle of statesmen playing to the gal leries," currying favor with the voter and keeping watchful eye on their jobs, instead of following the dictates of their consciences and their sense of duty.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
TRuTHFUL ADVERTISING
ditor of The Age-Herald !:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I have just read "Ned Brace" on truthful advertising, and l feel like saying amen, as most heartily indorse the stand that The Age Herald has taken to protect the public against the character of advertising that has been run ming in all of our newspapers for the past few seasons
 l am truly glad that you have seen the light and that you have developed nerve sufficient to say no, when you are offered a message to deliver to the public that you know is a grossly exaggerated falsehood, which is easily proven, as there have been hundreds of just such ex- amples as you have given of grossly exaggerated comparative prices, and l really think that when newspaper wilfully becomes a carrier of an untruthful message that it becomes party to the transaction and is guilty of aiding and abetting a fraudulent practice
 It has always been a wonder to me that an intelligent public would be influenced by state ments or comparisons that are so entirely unrea- sonable. Why should merchant want to spend lot of money in advertising $75 suit for $25, and when a statement of this kind is made the public should know that there is something the matter either with the suit or with the mer- chant usually both and when a customer is influenced to spend his or her time in hunting for such bargains, only to be disappointed, it casts reflection, in the minds of such dis appointed customer, on all merchants, even those who try to be honest in their advertise ments and in their dealings.
 Why can't our ad writers tell the public something of the merits of their merchandise, style, quality, workmanship, and tell them something of the service that their establish ments will render to attract patronage, rather than attempt to fake them into the belief that they offering them something for noth- ing, witch is an element that does not or can not enter into successful merchandising Yours very truly.
