Admiral Wilson's program is to
supplant many of the civilian teach

ORATORICAL CONTEST
FOR JUNIORS TONIGHT

The Rev. John S. Coming. of New
York City. Commissioner for the
Eyangelization OF the Jews, delivered
the Baccalaureate sermon to the
Senior class OF ST. Johns College.
yesterday morning in the First Pres
byterian Church.
Taking for his text a verse from
Genesis: Take of thy shoes for the
place whereon thou standest is Holy
Ground" The preacher said that the
presence of God did not necessarily
make place holy. for He pervades
the universe-it was the recognition
and acceptance of His providential
care that consecrated people and
places to him. Taking the life OF
Moses as an example, and the mighty
things done by him for his people
through Gods help. the preacher
pointed out to the students that their
aim in life must primarily be to find
themselves-that is, to recognize
clearly what they wanted and intend
ed to do in life, and then with Gods
good grace to help them. to go ahead
and do 1t.

Members of the West Annapolis

Except for the fact that a flock"
of mosquitoes invaded the hall and
attacked performers and those in the
audience, as well, the production
went of in fine shape and was a sue
cess in every way. 1t was given as
a joint benefit of the ST. Margaret's s
Community, and the West Annapolis
firemen. The mosquitoes. by the way,
must have been of the New Jersey
species, for the way they prodded
their bills into the flesh of their vic
Tins was tortuous, and the black

away. 1t was hot. too, and ii was

EXPERIENCED MOTORIST IS
BOOSTER FOR HIS OWN CAR


Automobile owners today are re-
oeiving more value for their money
than at any time since the inception
Of the industry.
That is true Of all cars and all
sses-classes being determined
by the price. In order TO survive
for even a brief period no automo-
bile can place on the market any
more a product which is not a pref
ty smooth running. durable car
one which will take the owner
about any place he cares to go, at
all times.
1t is no longer a question merely
of reliability. The chief point
which the prospective purchaser
now has TO decide is which is the
can afford to spend and which is
most useful for his or her partic-
ulars needs.
This has forced the makers to
decide upon what particular line
they care to specialize and to make
the best machine possible in that
particular price class. It Is this
elimination process which has tend
ed to put all makes in different
price classes.
COMPETITION VERY KEEN
Thus has developed a competition
SO keen that each maker in each
class has been compelled to reduce
his price to a minimum with a fair
profit to the manufacturer-with
which none could survive.
At the same time the competi-
ton requires the standard Of manu-
facture to be Of the highest. This
is where the consumer comes into
his own and is able to secure cars
Of the very best at prices he never
dreamed could be practical.
