OAKLAND HAS
A NEW SEDAN
AND A COUPE
Two Fine New Models Are
Brought Out to Sell for
Less Than 1900.

The new Oakland 1923 closed cars
the five-passenger coupe and sedan
Just announced by the Oakland
Motor Car Company, are radically
new in body designs. These new
closed bodies are now being built by
the Fisher Body Company.
A lower body belt and slightly
lowered roof are mainly responsible
Tor giving these new models a pure
stream-line effect. an appearance of
greater length, power and distinction.
Interior appointments and fittings
are likewise new. to conform with
the new exterior design.
The appearance Of sweeping grace
has become accentuated by the full
crown fenders-a feature Of the new
1923 series-which are heavy and
wide and extend in long arcs over
the wheels. The windows of these
closed models are deeper and wider
and afford the utmost visibility for
all occupants of the cars. All pill
lars are metal covered.

Production of the new five-pas-
senger sedan was due solely to a
widespread and insistent demand
on the part Of dealers and buyers
for a six-cylinder enclosed car of
this seating capacity. The seven.
passenger sedan long since has es.
tabl.shed itself among those owners
who require a car Of that capacity.
There will be more interest this
year than ever before in the other
cars that make up the Nash Six
and Nash four-cylinder line. The
carriole. the cab. the coupes and the
four-cylinder sedan each have a dis

Minnesota Discovers
Way To Foil Gas
Trinmers

Minnesota's oil inspectors
, have devised a simple test for
discovering water in gasoline.
On the theory that water is
heavier than gasoline and will
sink to the bottom, it naturally
follows that a plain pine stick
daubed in cheap molasses will
glide through gasoline without
having any effect on the sticky
substance, but on encountering
water the molasses will come off.
BY dipping such a prepared
stick in tank supposed to con-
tain only gasoline the exact
amount of water in the bottom
will be revealed.

REQ engineers are very proud of
the REQ coupe. The body. which

culture Function?" when his pupils
elect to go back to the farm after
graduation and further, when they
think so much of the instruction re-
ceived that they wish more of it and
Will go to school again to get it.
Agriculture has been taught in the
Freehold High School since 1913. The
establishment Of the department was
due primarily to the efforts of Com
missioner of Education John Enright,
who at that time was County Superin-
tendent of Schools of Monmouth
County. Mr.. Enright felt that since
more than half the pupils of this
school came from the farming COM
munity, a school so situated should
have agriculture in it's curriculum.
From the results shown by the return
of so many of the pupils to the farms,
he was entirely right in his contention.
These departments of agriculture
are meeting the needs of boys in many
rural communities of the state. They
are training the youth for the farm
and, as at Freehold, are continuing the
instruction by means of short-unit
courses long after the pupils leave the
regular day school classes.

COMMENT From the
NOAN11V1EANA ELMER TIMES
FRAUD IN THE GOVERNMENT
PRINTING OFFICE

Last week newspapers opposed poll
tically to President Harding were criti-
Ching him severely for his removal of
heads in the Government Printing Of
flee at Washington. He was charged
with being a spokesman and with vio-
lating civil service rules. Now there
has developed an excellent reason for
the Presidents action, as it has be-
come evident that there has been
wholesale Implications of government
issues at the printing office and it is
thought the government may have
been robbed of millions. The Victory
Loan seems to have been duplicated to
a greater extent than the other loans.
1t is stated on seeming authority that
no less than seven coupons have been
cashed from one bond, at the Treasury
Department, all bearing the same num-
Der and maturity date. This would
indicate that the bond which should
have been issued but once, was dupl1-
Gated six times for the benefit of some
bunch of robbers who had to do with
the printing. A thorough invest1ga-
ton is being made but the extent OF
the duplication cannot certainly be
known for a long time.
Practically every move of the Presl-
dent thus far has shown that he is on
the job and that he is determined that
we shall have honest and efficient gov
eminent.

TAX COLLECTORS LACK MORAL
COURAGE

Upper Pittsgrove Township has
made a move in the right direction in
announcing that all delinquent taxes
of previous years must be paid on or
before April 10Th, or the taxpayers
will be proceeded against by law.
Many municipalities have been lax in
the collection of taxes and the result
has been an additional load upon those
who do pay their tax. The law makes
very thorough provision for the col
lection of taxes and the only excuses
for failure to collect is the hesitancy
upon the part of officials who do not
want to risk becoming unpopular /
the pursuit of their duties.
Every dollar of unpaid tax is added
directly to the burden of the man who
does pay and it is a striking injustice
to allow some to constantly evade
their share. Elmer borough has a
considerable list of unpaid taxes, prac-
tically all of which are collectible If
the proper action were taken. Borough
Council constantly considers and dis
cusses means of collection but fails
to take definite action.

THE afternoon frock-best beloved
Il of all her belongings-pays trib-
ute to woman's beauty in devious ways.
Often it is prettily simple, sometimes
1t is rich and elaborate to the dazzling
point, and between these two extremes,
In the endlessly varied displays, are
still other afternoon frocks in many
degrees of excellence as to quality and
decorative value.
All the seasons of the year are beau
tifully interpreted in such dresses, the
designer using, as a medium of express
sion, almost any material he will. This
year, for spring and summer, we find
on the list ~taffeta, in many colors,
foulard. crepe de chine, georgette and
other crepes, both plain and b~rocaded,
~organdie, voile, net and lace. The ac-
cent just now is placed on crepes and
taffeta-the most-widely popular of all
the materials, but for midsummer
voiles and organizes are again fore
told. Every sort of decoration clamors
to play a part in the adornment of the
afternoon frock.

1t is the two extremes of elaborate
ness and simplicity that are pictured
here, but both these frocks accommo-
date themselves to many demands.
The very handsome dress of rich lace
and georgette at the left with a girdle
of ribbon, would serve for the matron
or honor at a formal wedding, or as a
dinner gown, besides fulfilling its mis-
sion as an afternoon dress. 1t is of a
light bisque color and has a girdle OF
wide ribbon which may be made In
any color that it's wearer favors.
The pretty taffeta dress In the panel
is a familiar type, with scalloped tunic
wei a plain skirt. In c~hangeable or
light colors and furnished up with
flowers on the girdle, it might well
follow the bride altarward, as a dress
for her maids-and serve them for 9TH
er wear throughout the summer.
