ALL ABOARD FOR MILLION
DOLLAR JOY RIDE.

Associated Press dispatches
tell US that yesterday that Chair
man Lacker's million dollar JOY
Ride" on the good ship Leyiathan
started out on her trial trip to
West Indian waters with 45O
guests aboard. The original pur-
pose of this joy-ride as given to
the public was to train stewards, "
but this having been deemed in
sufficient, the reason now given
is to try out the circulating sys-
stem," whatever that is- It is al
so stated that the trip is only to
cost 100000 instead of $1,000
600.
Representative Madden, chair.
man of the House Appropria-
tons Committee, who is one of
Mr.. Lasker's guests, is reported
as having expressed a willing
ness to pay his way, but accord
ing to the Republican New
York Tribune, it was stated bv
the Shipping Board that the
plans for the trip did not con-
template any expenditure by
guests.
1t is also stated that the ex-
pense of the trial trip, which is
now being made despite the fact
that the Leviathan was given a
run from Norfolk, Va, to Bos-
ton, is provided for in the con-
tract with the shipbuilding com
pany. The following concerning

the amount the Brooklyn NAVY

was willing and prepared to do

yards are the only ones where
wages have been reduced and
the working force cut down for

Dispatch makes this interesting
comment on town growth, which
others communities might do
well to ponder. Hear him:
Teach yourself to under
stand that if your town grows,
you must in some measures con-
tribute to the growing. Leav-
ing it to others doesn't get
anything. And it would be far
better to set your stakes here

that this really is the best place

SIR WALTER
AND THE SPUD.

In Ireland, they still point to
the place where Sir Walter
Raleigh planted the potatoes he
brought with him from America.
The venturous knight was much
impressed with the edible quail
ties of potatoes and touted them
highly to his friends. But in spite
of his efforts to popularize the
spud, it was half a century or
more before it became an article
of general consumption abroad.
Today, a new food product be-
comes nationally known almost
over night. Modern methods of
distribution quickly place it in
thousands Of stores. Advertising
tells the public about it - the
newspapers. People try it, like
it, almost shortly it is in general
use throughout the country.
By the same means American
manufacturers through ad-
vertising - are putting within
your reach many Of the boons
of modern life. Wyohout adver-
Using, we would lack many of
the comforts and conveniences
that go to make life what it is in
this year of grace.
Advertising keeps your infor-
nation up-to-snuff on every ar
ticle of human need, whether it
be food, clothing, articles of
household utility, necessities or
luxuries.
Advertisers deserve your sup
port. Patronize them.

VITAL MATTERS

'If you love me as l love you,
No knife can cut our love in two"
Oh yes it can, and cut it quick,
For should you cultivate the trick
Of eating with that self-same knife,
l would be off of you for life.
"The rose is red, the violet blue;
Sugar is sweet, and so are you." e
But not so sweet that should you stoop
To making noises with your soup,
I wouldn't find within an hour
That you and love had both gone sour.
Trouble and pain and want and i'll
Would never make my passion chill,
But if you.spill things on your vest
Or smack your lips with too much. zest,
Or from your saucer drink your tea,
You'll get the well-known gate from me.
Sorrow could bear up beneath,
But should see you pick your teeth
Or spear your bread; or if | viewed
You in the act of gulping food,
I'd hand you, thereupon, a lime;
And thank my stars I'd learned in time!

In his address to the Iron and

H. Gary, of the United States

phatically that the practice of
religion contains the onyl solu-

and labor. He is not the first man
to advocate the Golden Rule, nor
will he be the last one. So evil

for all time to come.

Mccormack Brothers Tire
 Department to Open Soon

On March 8 new branch of Me- Cormack Brothers Motor company will be opened in the building for merly occupied by the, Fisk Tire company on the corner of Twenty first street and Avenue D. This new department will be in charge of Roy Kay. The tires handled will be Fire stone and Oldfield and a full line of both pneumatic and solids will be carried. A service that is in every way compatible to these high grade tires will be rendered by this com pany and the motoring public is as- sured of the very best attention.
 MT. Kay is long way from being a novice in the tire game. In fact, his experience covers almost the span of the life of the industry and old-t.me car owners can remember buying tires from Roy way back when the automobile was considered almost an experiment. It is said that Roy sold the first set of cord tires to be sold in Birmingham and he has seen this type of tire grow to almost unanimous demand. The location of this new department of the Mccormack company Is especial ly convenient and all the features of a first class tire service station will be installed as soon as possible.

 HUDSON-ESSEX BODIES

"To those unacquainted with man ufacturing problems, it Is remark able to note the manner in which a large production of a certain ar ticle can reduce It's price," accord ing to A. R. Pryor, local dealer for Hudson and Essex. As this is a matter which should interest all automobile buyers, a concrete ex- ample will not be out of place." he continued.
 Riddle & Smart, at Amesbury Mass, make bodies exclusively for Hudson. They are one of the oldest and best known body manufacturers in the United States and their prod uct is everywhere recognized for the highest quality, workmanship and design. They are now concentrating their entire efforts on the new Hud- son sedan.
 Their establishment is located in Amesbury a small city in the Mer- rimac valley of Massachusetts. It is the important industry of the town. For many years the most skilled artisans of the vicinity have found employment there. Horse drawn coaches and carriages of the highest type were its product for many years. After the New England manner, fathers worked at their trade all their lives there. and then saw their sons begin their appren- ticeships.
 The products today are practi- cally custom built. Into them go the individuality and the skill of the workman. The aluminium panels are hand shaped to the framework. The decorative holdings are rolled in. The word craftsman has been much over-used of late, but the men at Riddle & Smart deserve the terms.
