Before endeavoring to answer the
question. can we all have a car? l
want to show from an economic view
point why We should all have a car.
That we as a people are going on
wheels is evident in the tremendous
increase in automobile registrations
which go steadily on all over America,
despite the predictions of pessimists
which we. in the motor car industry,
have heard since the beginning of
the business.
The predictions Of the hurtful eco
homie effects which may be be pro-
duced in our country by the invest
ment which will ultimately be repre-
scented by some three or four times
the present number of automobiles, as
their predictions are sometimes heard,
always bring to my mind the old story
of the man out in the mountains who
had never seen railroad train and
who. with the coming of a railroad
TO nearby town, with his grown son
visited the town to see his first rail-
road train. They stood long time
at the station, into which there fin
ally drew up long, vestibuled, all
steel express train and upon its COM
ing to a stop with whistling of air
brakes. the son said: swell, Pa, what
do you think of it," The old man.
quite excited, replied: "Son. they'll
never start her." After few minutes,
upon signal from the conductor.
the passenger train smoothly rolled on
out Of the station down the noun
tain. Whereupon the son said !:
well. pa, what do you think of it
noww To which the old man replied !:
"Son. they'll never stop her,"
Motor Car Time Saver.
Our life is primarily made up Of
time and nothing can be of more inn
portance than the instrument which
saves time. Once man devoted
practically his entire time to provid-
ing the necessities Of life. And no
one would ever seriously suggest that
there has ever been any cause for re-
greet that the trend has always been
and is away from that situation.
The motor car saves time. Thirty
per cent of the cars today are in the
hands of farmers and added to them
should be the cars in the hands OF
statesmen, doctors, real estate men and
those owned by city workmen, VINO
live q great distance from their work,
all these cars save time enough to pay
for themselves over and over. Their
expense to society is practically moth
ing. These cars support themselves.
You may have had occasion to STAND
on Fifth avenue or Michigan avenue
and watch the endless procession OF
cars which pass with a sound from
the tread of their rubber-clad wheels
that continues night and day. like the
sound Of the breakers on the ocean
beach.
Pausing long enough, perhaps. you
rondered on where they were all 60
ing and wondered II 1t were possible

Why follow fashion doggedl- year

deserts lines that are meant for you?
One French designer, Lanvin. believes
in creating frocks that are youthful,
always picturesque and charming.
For the slim figure there is the
slightly bouffant style of dress, which
is ruffled and flounced this season. The
color and the material of which it is
made will do much toward assuring a
youthful appearance.
For the more mature figure there is
the long bodice waist with tn TERED

is tendency in the palmer coats to
keep the lining the color of the fur,
but often it is beautifully, embroidered
in self color, or sometimes band of
figured or brocaded silk is added about
the hem.
The average length of this seasons
fur coax is 4S inches, but those for
elaborate wear are so, while those for
evening are sometimes 81. The sport
models come shorter, from 45 to As,
and The jacquettes may vary as much
as II inches. 1t is very important in

length, and this is regulated entirely
by the stature of the wearer..

By MARIAN HALE.

New York, Aug. 16.-August, be-
sides being the hottest month of the
twelve, is the one which custom and
the fur dealers have consecrated to the
rite of buying the fur coat.
And, indeed, perhaps one of the
best ways in which to forget the heat
is TO ramble around in fur store,
viewing garments designed for zero
weather. But don't try on too many
in a single summers day!
The thought alone of a new fur coat
is usually exciting enough to take the
normal woman's mind off the tenn
perature. This seasons models are
particularly distracting. They wrap,
drape, sink or become perky at your
command, and they reach heights of
loneliness never before STAINED.
In general. the straight silhouette is
adhered to, though there are plenty of
