EASE IF CUNT ROL
 PEERLESS FEATURE
This Is One Of The Things Which Is Making It Pop-
 uIar With Owners

One of the outstanding features of the new Peerless Is the simplicity of it's controls. To those accustomed the Peerless affords a revelation in the slight effort required to control it under even the most difficult road or traffic conditions.
 A canvas of opinion among its thousands 'of owners has revealed the fact that this Is one of the things which has brought 1t into such popular favor with the people who drive only the best in motor have been so readily accepted, as has the new Peerless, by a discriminat- ing class of owners. This Is espe- cially true among feminine owners, for they have found this great eight-cylinder car very appealing. trol has much to do with this appeal to the feminine mind.
 In discussing the subject "Bilp Pape, at Mccormack Brothers, had the following to say: The new Peerless was scientifically designed to meet the requirements for a fine, high powered car, which would De as easy to control as the lighter weight, rougher-riding cars which are not satisfactory for long trips or fast going. Many women have heretofore owned smaller cars sim ply because they could drive them without being utterly exhausted as ar suit. Such women are now turn ing to the Peerless as a car better suited to their station in life and quite as easy to drive. In fact, the Peerless is much easier to drive over an extended trip as it is far more restful i~ which to ride and gets over the rough places with less ex- ertion on the part of the driver.
 The Peerless steering mechanism was especially produced to absorb and resist all road shocks, and it does not transmit these shocks to the drivers arms and hands as do other steering gears. The brakes on the Peerless operate with but slight pressure on the brake control used as the perfect balance of the Peerless allows 1t to be driven over the rough places at very high rates of speed The driver is, therefore, less often required to reduce the speed of the car by applying the brakes.
 's It is safe to say that no other car excels the Peerless in accelera- ton or-hill- climbing ability. This means, of course, that it Is seldom necessary to shift gears, which Is very important characteristic of the car, as now days almost everyone uses his car for several extended trips a year. The motor car Is slow ly but surely displacing the railway as a means for pleasure travel, and it follows that the car which con trols most easily is the most deslr- ahle car to own.

r JULY GUARANTEE
 WOCO MOTOR OILS
Makers Of Famous Woco Pep Motor Fuel Behind
 Them

The full guarantee of the Wofford oil companys makers of the famous Woco Pep motor fuel. which is de- clared to be worth five cents more per gallon than gasoline" goes with every gallon of Woco motor oils sold to motorists, according to Charley Armstrong, of the motor oils division of the Wofford oil company. Any motorist who is not thoroughly con- vinced that he is getting as efficient fabrication with Woco motor oils as can be had anywhere for the money Is Invited to call at any Woco sta ton and get his money back, accord ing to MT. Armstrong.
 Hundreds of motorists during the past ten days have taken advantage of our crank case demonstration at all Woco service stations and to ev- cry motorist we made the flat guarantee that he could have his money back at any time if he was not convinced that Woco motor oils fur nished efficient and economical lubri- cation for his motor. And further proof of the confidence of motorists in Woco products was evidenced by the numerous new customers who were noted in the Woco stations dur ing the demonstrations
 "In marketing Woco motor oils ouI policy has been to give the motorist the most possible for his money-tc sell an oil that was made to suit the motor, rather than to meet price,

SENATE MAY INVESTIGATE

Four leading Investigations into the
administration of public affairs by
the Harding-Coolidge regime will be
pressed by senate Democrats, accord
ing to a decision reached here.
They will demand a formal inquiry
by the new senate into the Veterans
bureau, since they are dissatisfied
with the sudden termination of the
probe when Harding's name was
brought in by both sides.
They will demand investigation OF
the oil leases, the illegal removal of
A. P. Davis, chief of the reclamation
service, and various other items in the
interior department.
They will insist upon an inquiry in
to the pro-railroad attitude of the in
terstate commerce commission-an
enterprise which promises to be high
ly sensational.
Finally they will demand that an
accounting be made before commit
tee of the senate as to the shipping
boards Financial transactions. Hun
dreds of millions of dollars of public
money, handled lightly in the winding
up of some of the boards activities,
will be gone over.

MAY HOLD JOB THIS TIME

Congressman Victor Berger of Wis
consin, the only Socialist in Congress,
believes odd numbers are lucky. Since
the armistice was signed five years
ago he has been three times elected a
member of the House from the Mil
waukee district, but this is the first
time he has succeeded in getting a
firm grip on his seat.
In 1919 he was unseated by vote
which was dangerously near unani-
nous. Only Congressman Voigt OF
Wisconsin stood by him.
Then a special election was held
and the people again endorsed Berger
That time three members of the
House out of 435 voted to keep him in
his seat.
Now he is Sitting pretty" Up to
this writing no one has made move
to disturb him.
The charges on which Berger was
twice unseated had to do with viola
tions of wartime espionage laws. The
principal evidence against him con-
sisted of few ret hot Socialist edi-
torials printed before we entered the
war. All the indictments were dis
missed some time ago, the govern
ment evidently feeling that it could
not hope for conviction in normal

HIGH COST OF GOVERNMENT

Where does your tax money go?
Are you getting value received for the
$8,363, 100000 you paid last year in
taxes to federal, state and local gov
ernments? Does it make you any
less curious to know that over half a
billion dollars of this amount was
lifted from you in tariff duties on the
food and clothing which you use, and
which you probably blamed upon the
grocer, the baker, and the dry goods
man?
The high cost of government af-
fects the welfare of every man, wo-
man and child in the country. 1t puts
a mortgage on your pay envelope be-
fore you have ever opened it. 1t
largely decides whether your dollar
will buy more or less whether your
standard of living shall go up or
down. In any case, the tax question
sticks to you closer than your shadow.
Progressive legislators in the new
congress are going to stage battle
royal to reduce federal taxation on
small incomes and the necessities of
life. They demand the reduction or
elimination of the income tax on in
comes under three or four thousand
dollars and sweeping reductions in
tariff charges on food and clothing.
If the government needs more money,
whether for farmers relief, a bonus,
or any other purpose, they intend to
take it out of excess profits and in
heritances, with possible Increased
tax on the incomes of millionaires.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
states that there will be a surplus of
over half billion dollars in the fed
eral treasury this year at present tax
alton rates, but he wants to distribute
it by decreasing the income tax on the
multi-millionaire as we'll as on the
day laborer. Indeed, he wants the in
come surtax chopped from so to Z
per cent, which will save his own mil
lion-dollar income tax of over $780,
900 per year.
Watch the vote of your congress
man and senators on the tax ques-
tion. 1t will tell more about their
devotion to your welfare than all the
campaign speeches they ever deliver

LUNCHEON OF THE
LOCAL ROTARIANS
Large Gathering Addressed by
Former Boston UniY. Professor

At luncheon of the Rotary Club
held at the Elks club this noon 1t
was voted that each member shall buy
a club badge at $3.50. The luncheon
was we'll attended. Harold Whitehead,
former Boston University professor,
who spoke, was we'll received when
he was introduced by President Fred
Rackliffe.
Mr.. Whitehead said that he did not
wish to be considered a college pro-
fessor who was attempting to talk to
gathering Of business men and try
to give them a lot of theories, but that
he had been interested in business for
a number of years and would try to
give them practical advice and some
business hints that he has picked up.
He said that successful business
is based on three things: Principle,
Policy and Method, and that in order
to have successful business it Is
necessary to get perfect cooperation
between these departments of bust
ness. A business with strong princi-
pie, and a weak policy might be fairly
successful, he said, but a business with
no principle and q hazy policy
would be sure to lead to fail
ure. He said q business man with
an indefinite policy is steering his ship
or business, on a course which he did
not know. He was looking out for the
rocks directly ahead of him but he
was not looking ahead to where he
was going and for that reason he was
not sure whether he was going in
straight line, crooked line, or in cir
Gle. He quoted a number of instances
in which man or business had
good policy but policy to which they
fruits of that good policy amounted to
nothing.
He drew a contrast between system
and red tape. He said system stepped
on the accelerator while red tape step
ped on the brake, that system said
'go here" while red tape said road
closed" He gave number of in
stances in which red tape led to the
slowing up and the complication of
the business Of firm. He said that
the retail merchants in city had
nothing to fear from chain store if
they conducted their business in
manner.
In closing. he said not to measure
success in dollars but to measure sue
cess in service and that he who serv-
ed best would profit best in the special
manner in which he SO desired to
profit, or succeed.

CHANGES HIS MIND
Civic League Head Gives List of
Names to Police But Then Takes
Them Back Again.

President Arthur w. Epson of the
Civic Safety League called at police
headquarters this afternoon and hand
ed a list Of about a dozen names and
addresses to Chief of Police William
G. Hart with request that prosecu-
ton for violation Of the liquor law
be brought.
The police chief expressed willing
ness to arrest anyone upon the prs
sentation of ample proof of their guilt
He asked the Civic League head if he
was In a position to furnish witnesses
against those whom he accused. Mr..
Epson replied In the affirmative.
A few minutes after he had left po-
lice headquarters. Mr.. Epson returned
and told Chief Hart he might be In a
position to get in touch with the agent
In question at once. He asked for the
privilege of using a telephone where
he might not be heard. He was d.
rected to the chiefs office where he
entered, closing the door behind him
carefully.
When he emerged he walked out of
the station without saying anything,
then returned and requested that the
fist be returned to him. This was
done and the Civic League head left
headquarters without making further
reports on liquor activities which the
league is aiming to suppress.
