! ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 15.-The
thousands Of American boys who al
ways wanted to own a bicycle but
have never been able to will not
have TO pay so much for wheel
next year. because the Bicycle
/ Manufacturers Association has de-
cided to reduce the retail price 40
/ per cent. The association took this
action during their joint convention
with the Cycle Parts and Accessories
Association. Members declared that
during the last year there has been
a large demand for bicycles, chiefly
because of the higher street car
fares in many cities and the in
creased popularity of outdoor
sports
The manufacturers said that they
expected to manufacture and put on
the market within the next three
years 1000 600 bicycles a year of the
various types. Next year they will
manufacture approximately 500. 900
wheels. At the reduced prices the
manufacturers expect that this num-
ber will be sold easily.
As an evidence OF the increased !
interest in bicycles. Charles A. Par |
sons OF Worcester. Mass. president /
OF the accessories association. said |
that his town last year did about /
$3.50 600 worth of business in !
bicycle parts and accessories and ex- |
poets this sum TO reach a million |

penter will tell you it's a "10-pen-

"Penny"gin connection with nails,

Originally, it designated the price

nail meant one that cost 10 cents
a hundred, wholesale.
The name has lost its old meaning,
because today you can buy the nails
dirt-cheap. Yet years ago the price
was not considered high, for pre-
Viously buildings were put together
with hard wooden pegs. Maybe
you've noticed them when an ancient

EDITORIAL
AMERICA WITH LLOYD GEORGE,

AMERICA WITH LLOYD GEORGE
THE heart of America is with Da.
vid Lloyd George at Genoa in
his efforts to bring about measure
of order out of world chaos. The
little Welchman has a gigantic task,
but he has record of great achieve
ment behind him, and hope will not
be lost that he will accomplish some
thing at Genoa until he actually fails.
Lloyd Georges task has been vast
ly multiplied by the German-Russian
treaty coup and by the obstinacy Of
the French who insist on eXacting
the last ounce of flesh. That the
French are not to be blamed so much
will be admitted by tolerant people
who do not forget that France is not
the France of old, but suffering from
the all but fatal bleeding of the great
war and yet retains much of the
hysteria born of her war perils. OF
course, France views everything diff
ferently from others-exeept little
Belgium. And so We find those two
countries which bore the great brunt
Of wars disasters holding out against
a settlement with Russia on any basis
but one Of their own naming.
Sympathize with them as we are
bound TO, the rest of US cannot blind
ourselves to reason. The world can
not be made more orderly and con-
ditions of peace actually restored on
any but a sane basis. Cold facts
and actual conditions need to be con-
suited more than sentiments; the
world must look to the future rather
than behind, to recover from the
wounds of war. And that is the way
Lloyd George views the whole situa-
ton, that is the motive that actuates
him to hold out to the last for an
agreement on basis of reason rath-
er than malice or sentiment, a pro-
gram that will permit the countries
debtors to the Allies to pay those
debts without actual confiscation-
which would mean revolt, bolshevism
further spread, and added world
chaos.
And that5is why we say the heart
of America-and Americus-is with
Lloyd George today.

clared King Verde, scraping a lump
of mud off his shoe with his crown
and putting it on again, the crown,
not the shoe. Go on. Tell me

Your people never knew how to
make good bows, did they?" put in
Nick.
No." King Verde shook his head.
"Our arrows are perfect, but our
bows are no better than barrel
hoops"
"Well," went on Nick eagerly,
"The Diddyevvers can't make good
arrows, but their bows are fine. The
soothsayer said that after the thou
sand years were up, the ugliest
king would have to tell his secret
to the handsomest king. Then he
could conquer the world and marry
