laws require an owner to have a certificate of title to his car. When car is transferred to a new owner the certificate is. endorsed over to the buyer, who then deposits the old certificate and a new one is issued to him. Reports from states where such laws are in effect show they have somewhat reduced the stealing of cars, and 1t is thought that if certificate of title laws were general the theft of cars would be greatly reduced. As it is now it is difficult to sell cars in the state where such a law exists, but no more difficult to steal them and drive them into an adjoining state for sale.-Nation's Business.

GOLDEN SILENCE

He just talked me out Of buying it." is the way a man characterizes his turning down of a very big deal "I believe now it was a good one" he continued, but he made me feel there was something wrong about it when he was so overzealous in his speech"
 And that is the trouble with many people. They talk too much They oversell the thing they are trying tC sell, and if they are not selling any merchandise they oversell them selves.
 Most of,the time, in fact, all of the time, silence is worth it's weight in radium. Very often the psychologi- cal quiet moment has been much more forceful than the world out of place.
 AS Carlyle has put it: There is no silence like the speech you cannot listen to without danger of lock- jaw" The same wise man also says: Speech is great, but silence is greater"
 If a person would just lock his jaw and listen, he will hear much. The person who does the talking, when you are listening so intently, is bound to give himself away. You go on the theory, Give a man rope enough and he will hang himself"
 If you have soRething tG say, say it and be done. If you have some- thing to sell, sell it. Don't oversell 1t.
 The right word at the right time Is a mighty factor of success, but the time to know when to keep silent is even of greater importance.
 Still waters run deep" In the hu- man game as well as in nature. It Is the quiet, thinking people who know how to imbibe all the best of things. The garrulous individual is rarely found in the ranks the mighty. He has spent himself in too many words.
 In almost any gathering you will find that the person most worth while Is the quietest in the group. He usually is unobtrusive. as simple as a child, and only says what he needs to say.
 The person who makes talk for talks sake is really covering up some defect In himself. Very often young people write to me complaining that they cannot make talk when they are in company; that they seem to be

Students Club Holds First Meeting
 Tuesday

With pleasant memories of delight ful. vacations too quickly spent but with numerous other enjoyable events for the approaching winter an enthusiastic circle gathered in the Cable hall on Tuesday evening" This marked the opening meeting of the Students club. The work for the coming season was discussed and the plans outlined promise to be even more interesting than the one of the past year.
 Those constituting the personnel for this year are as follows: Mary Knight, president; Stella Bray, secre- tary; Etta Froehlick, treasurer; Blanche Kemp, Lera Askins, Elsie Wertheimer, Ruth Hicks as members of the program committee, and Ruth Feinstone, publicity chairman. All the members of the club are young business women stoudying with Mrs John w. King and under whose per sonal supervision the club is being conducted.
 A little less than a year ago this interesting club came into existence and the course of study adopted by them proved to be instructive as well as entertaining to each member. There was not an artist who ap- peared here last year that the club did not acquaint itself thoroughly with that artists personality and the program to be given before attend ing the concert. Opera stories were read, studied and discussed by the club, thus increasing the pleasure of the musical entertainments. There was not a concert that the club missed, and the members here take the pleasure of expressing their ap- preciation to both the Music Study club and the All-Star Concerts for their wonderful series of musical concerts of the past and coming sea sons. The members knowing what real treats" are in store for them this coming winter are already plan ming to avail themselves of the op- portunity of listening to the great artists who are scheduled to appear here.
 One nice feature of the club are the social gatherings enjoyed by them outside of the regular meetings, thus giving occasion to the members to meet outside and become personally acquainted with each other. to be- come friends.
 The coming year promises to be another one of great interest to the entire club and each member Is in- d1vidually putting forth it's best eff forts to make it more interesting than the preceding year.
