R. L. Steadham of the Detroit Mo- tor Car company says:
 I've find that the recently an nounced reduction in Paige prices has resulted in a great demand for these cars. The Paige is now lower in price than ever before in it's history and the cars are built better than ever before.
 "The huge plants of the-Paige De- troit Motor Car company in Detroit are among the best in the country. Modern machinery is used to build high-grade automobiles at low prices. The mechanics there are all trained in Paige methods and there Is no waste.
 "The policy of the factory has ala ways been te reduce prices as soon as production costs declined and ev- cry effort has been made in the last year to cut production costs to the bone. This has been done in many ways. High priced material contracted during the war period has all been used up This allowed the Paige company to buy new materials at lower prices than ever, and thus cut the costs of car building ma terially in this one item alone./ La bor costs have been reduced and fewer men are needed to do the work of many, because of greater eff ciency.P

 Dear Sir: Does it pay to adver- tise?" Wednesday morning a letter was placed on. my desk from man in Little Rock Ark, in which he stated: q saw your ad in Sundays Birmingham Age Herald in which you do fender, body and radiator work" It took your advertising man quite awhile to convert me, but I am now fully convinced that it does pay to advertise.
 In reference to your article in to- days Age-Herald, Making Quick Delivery of Birmingham Goods" wish to say that we received a long dis tanee call from Montgomery at 1:17 D. m. on Saturday for a radiator core. We built this core from the single tube, heated our solder. dipped core and had in the express office at 3:45. l will say that all hands had to work, but our customer wanted service, for he wanted to deliver that radiator that night. And Service" is our motto. Time, hour, 30 minutes, Yours very truly.

CHINESE IDEA OF EXPERIMENT

From As the Chinese Think" by
 John Dewey, in Asia Magazine.
 Though Confucianism has had it's especial career among the upper and official classes, yet it's net effect has merged with the influence of Laotze to create definite contempt for politics and an aversion to gov ernment-to government, that is as the western world understands that term. To the Taoist, government is unnatural an interference by men With the orderly operations of na- ture. The emperors, even the alien Tartars and Manchus, were obliged to bow to this conviction. They got around the people bY adopting their belief, by giving the emperor a mys- tic significance. He was the agent or the people in reverencing heaven.
 He ruled but did not govern. He ruled by not governing, by not in- terfering with the real government the customs of the people, which were so immemorial. and so interwoven in agriculture with the operations of nature that they themselves were like the workings of nature. Tribute paid him was not so much political tax- alton as an expression of loyalty to the natural and moral forces that he embodied. If nature failed to func- ton, if famines and floods recurred if his demands become extortlonate ana his officers ceased to be fathers and mothers of the pebble, these were signs that he no longer represented heaven Then the people became for the moment, pending the restoration Of righteous and benevolent order, the representatives of heaven Ac- cording to Mencius (who empha- sized thiS more democratic side of G,oniusianisml ml t+hA' nsopls undsr such but thu d. nol ohfS t.-s house. xxssy or deposing the ruling

By Dom Byrne. The Century Com
 pany Publishers, New York City.
 This Is the love story of Marco Polo and the daughter of Kublai Khan, It-is wonderfully told by an Ulster -Irishman, glorious old Malachai of the Glens. The grim, gaunt, prideful, touchy, fiery, poetic tender soul of the Ulster Scot with. it's eager unspent imagination, its uff- canny human insight, interprets the richness of that great age of the Bride of the Sea" when Venice dom mated the seethir.s life of Europe and was powerful in the east; when she sent forth the elder Polos to Kublai Khan and Marco. the youth, went with them
 Some of the wonders Marco met with he must have kept to himself though there were those of his day who thought he had told more than enough; for it seems that when he started out in the springtime of his youth and in the springtime of a certain year. the purpose deep in his heart was to look into the eyes and hear the voice of the daughter of Kublai Khan.

 LINE OF DECENCY IN FICTION Grant Showerman, In the Yale Re- view.
 We should regard realism In tho porartyal of sex as an offense not so much against morals as against decency. The essence of the sex nov elists offense lies not in the ille- gality or in the immortality of the matter he represents, but in its ugli- ness. There are things in the world which are inherently ugly and. by consequence, inherently offensive. They have always been so regarded. and. so long as men are in possession of tho senses by which they are ap- prehended, they will be so regarded. They are in themselves neither i'm moral nor indecent; they are among the necessities which have been laid by nature upon man. They become indecent only. but surely, when they are obtruded upon the perceptions of other men. We have agreed not only to keep these facts out of the reach of the senses, but not to speak of them, or otherwise to represent them to the imagination. This means that they are not proper material for con versation, and that they are not proper material for art. Against some of them we have the written law, against others the uuwritten.
 If we transgress the written law. we are guilty not only of indecency, but of misdemeanor, CT of immoral ity in the strict and legal sense; if we transgress the unwritten law, we are still guilty of indecency, but of immortality only in the broad sense. If we resort to the plea that we have made no breach in the law of the land, we are none the less under con demnRtion for breach of the law of taste

"GIBBETED GODS"

 By Lillian Barrett The Century
 Company, Publishers, New York
 City.
 We wish there were some way in which, in the brief space to which we are necessarily limited, we could make manifest the unusual quality of this novel. There is a fineness of texture and weave, richness of background, an emotional integrity that are unusual in the general run of fiction; and to these qualities are added narrative drive, feeling for the dramatic situation, and a brilliance of dialogue which. though more usual than the other qualities named are still rare enough. "Gib- beted Gods" Is novel to be recom- mended.
 The novel centers on an amazing mother and splendid daughter nov Ing in smart society circles here and circles not so smart abroad. The style Is pitched in high. tense key admirably adapted to the fiercely predatory life depicteda

 BABEL"
 By Hugh McNalr Kahler G: P. Put
 nam's' Sons, Publishers. New York
 City.
 It is the business world which forms the background for all but one of the six long short stories which make up MT. Kahler's clever and very entertaining volume. And although the general formula upon which they are molded-that of the unconsidered or unpromisng fndiYi- dual who wins to success by meth ods conventionally supposed to> in- sure failure-is by no means an un- usual one, it Is here treated with a certain freshness which lifts it, sometimes to greater. somestimes to lesser, extent out of the realm of the stereotyped
 The most notable story in the book is the one entitled Babel" Not be- cause 1t is the best written or the most entertaining. but because of the agreeably unconventional point of view of the capital and labor prob lem which it presents Matthew Trafford its principal character. was by nature builder. How he had come back from Cuba to the little town of Trafford and changed it. from quiet, sleepy place of 4 ,000 in- habitants and two trains a day, To a flourishing little city with a pop ulation of about 10000 is the theme, unusually well worked out.
 The other stories are in lighter vein than this opening one. "The Hammer" which tells how a born and chronic "knocker" discovered that there are times when they also boost who only stand and knock" is both shrewd and amusing-a com ment which applies as well to the tale of "fhe Obligee," whose hero is youth who suddenly realizes that he has done nothing all his life but accept favors, and decides to becone a reformed character, immediately and severely. with somewhat un- looked-for results. "Fhe Buckpasser" is another amusing yarn, and indeed the stroies are all we'll written. in an agreeable style and with knack Of narrative which enables them--to hold the readers aftention

"THE CRYsrA1. HnARrn

By Phillfs Bottome. The Century
 Company, Publishers, New York
 City.
 Miss Bottomes grasp of life and delicately certain craftsmanship has never been devoted othe work of presenting such a poignantly heart reaching story. There Is probably no lovelier heroine in all fiction than Joy, and few more fascinating first chapters than those which admit the reader to the delectsble land of Joys childhood
 The child Joy and the sweet woman Joy of the Crystal Heart, to whom all is simple, pellucid truth, unde- viating honor, unquestioning good ness, is one the reader is constrained to love from first page to last.
 Yet those who know Miss Bot tome's strong, sometimes starkiy. sadly strong, work know that this canbe no novel of curls and sweet ness, pink roses, terraces and tea. There is salt, tangy wisdom of life from the very first scenes in Joys numerous and peculiar family, and there is no flinching from the truths which the realities of the authors characters create. Indeed, the reader may violently disagree with the au- thor as to the end, which makes no compromise with any conventions. whether of fiction or life.
