STUDENTS OF RUSSIA
GIVEN WARM WELCOME
BY PEOPLE OF PRAGUE

PRAGUE, Jan. 2O.-The help given
Russian students by the Czechoslovak
republic has been described by out
side observers as ranking high in the
relief work undertaken by one ma
ton for another. Indeed, Prague has
become the focus for constructive
Russian life abroad This is particu>
larly true of the Russian intellectuals
who have been compelled to leave
their country.
Czechoslovakia today is supporting
some five thousand Russian students
and professors. At Prague, indepen-
dent of the Czech university, there Is
the only Russian law college in the
world. Here courses are conducted
without government interference of
any kind. This college is headed by
a prominent Russia scholar. Profess
sor Novgorotsev. and provides oppor-
tunity for about four hundred stu
dents who, a year ago, were leading
a useless existence in the slums of
Constantinople.
One of the most encouraging signs
OF the time is the fact that a large
proportion of the Russian students
here are turning to practical and corr
structive work, such as agriculture
and mechanics. There are many ag-
ricultural clubs with which the min
istry of agriculture co-operates by
arranging lectures in Czech schools
and supplying material for the solu-
ton of actual problems. For example,
the Russian students recently Of
fered their services to the state in
connection with the amelioration of
the unemployment situation. Their
attitude gave ample proof that there
exists among the Russians a spirit
of active appreciation of what the
government is doing for them.
Moreover, the Czechs themselves
seem to get along well with the Rus
sian refugees. The various Russian
Institutions for learning are sup
ported only in part from public funds,
a great deal Of the money for upkeep
comes from contributions and collec-
tions Amone the Czech public.

EXCLUSIVENESS Is A
PERIL SS FEATURE

One very interesting fact which
has developed along with the sale
of the new Peerless over the entire
country is the especial appeal this
car has for the motor car owner who
heretofore has bought only the most
exclusive of domestic and foreign
makes of cars.
1t would appear from the great
number of foreign and extremely
righ priced American cars traded for
the new Peerless that here at last is
p an American made car at a popular
price which possesses that rare charm
of individuality and exclusiveness
which is so sought after and which
usually costs so much. AS a matter
OF fact, the new Peerless Is exclu-
sive, and this is true as a direct re-
suit of several things entering into
its production.
One of the chief causes contribut-
ing to Peerless individuality is Peer
less history. Never has anything but
a truly fine car been produced In
the Peerless plant; never a cheap
car. Nor has Fearless ever sought
after quantity production. Rather has
their aim been to build fewer cars
and buid them better. So throughout
the years the Peerless name has
maintained its prestige, its leader
- ship.
Then. too, the appearance of the
new Peerless has been nodded to at
tract and retain the interest of the
Ugh grade car owner; -the quality
so apparent, the attention to details
SO evident. One usually expects to
pay a premium for distinctiveness.
Therefore. the new Peerless Is de-
lightful surprise to all who are I'M
familiar with it. For this truly fine
car may be had in many combinations
of paint, upholstery and trimmings.
But back of all this there 10 q
smoothness and flexibility of per-
Torrance that never fails to enthrall
the driver who sits at the wheel of
the new Peerless for the first time
a performance which cannot be
equaled.
The trend of the times seems to
be toward economy. Perhaps that is
another reason contributing to Peer
less popularity among the best peo-
pie. Why should they pay three
times the price of a Peerless for a
car that eXcels it in no way?

TRANSPORT Al ION
QUESTION SOLVED.
BY MOTOR TRUCK.
Help to Reduce Living Costs
and Get Goods to Market
Cheaply
by NJ. l.. PULCHER
Vice President and General Man
NIGER. Of the Federal Motor Truck
Company

Vice President and General NAN
nRer, Of the Federal Motor Truck
Company
Financially and economically
speaking the motor truck during
1928 can be depended upon to ma
terially reduce living costs, mako
larger dividends for even the great
est of American corporations and at
the same time solve the paramount
question now facing the nation
transportation.
For the last IL months American
business has been up against the
question of how to get goods to mar
ket cheaply and quickly. The rail-
road system OF the country failed to
meet the needs Of the business
houses. We were thrown into q mid
summer chaos by a railroad strike
and business was seriously hampered
at the time it needed cooperation in
the worst way, because 1t was Just
recovering from postwar depres-
sion.
In fact the entire transportation
system Cf the country would, I feel
safe in saying, have broken down
entirely had it not been for the motor
truck. Trucks were used for long
and short haul business and for
heavy and light work, in test they
were never before put to. They met
this test. They proved to their own
ers that they were economical and
a real financial investment.
During the first half of the pres
ent year there is no doubt but what
the business conditions of this coun-
try are to be even more improved.
M Fn
transportation which the railroads
cannot meet in the short haul bust
ness. Naturally the motor truck is
going to furnish it.

A MAN WHO BECAME
FAMOUS

Doctor r. V. Pierce, whose pic
ture appears above, was not only a
successful physician but also a pro-
found student of the medicinal
qualities of Natures remedies,
roots and herbs, and by close OBJ
servation of the methods used by
the Indians, he discovered their
great remedial qualities, especially
for weaknesses of women, and after
careful preparation succeeded in
giving to the world remedy which
has been used by women with the
best results for half century. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
still in great demand, while many
other SO called "Gure-alls" have
come and gone. The reason for its
phenomenal success is because of
its absolute purity, and DR.. Pierce's
high standing as an honored citizen
of Buffalo is guarantee Of all that
is claimed for the Favorite Prescrip-
ton as regulator for the ills pc
culiar to women.

said, would give the Santa Fe out

territory, while the Burlington field
would be confined to the north noun

volume OF traffic for Santa Fe hand

PLEA MADE FOR
CO LINE FOR
BURLINGTON

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The
right of the Burlington, Great
Northern, Northern Pacific
and Colorado and Southern
systems to form one group in
the proposed consolidation of
the western lines was defended today
by Hale Holden, president of the
Burlington. at a hearing here before
Commissioner Hall and Examiner
Healy of the interstate commerce
commission on the tentative plans for
consolidation OF the roads OF western
territory.
Normal traffic channels between
the four systems had been long estab-
lished, the Burlington president do
clnred and to disturb them by group
ing the Colorado and Southern lines
with the Santa Fe as had been sug-
gested by the commission's tentative
plan, would be to work unjust condi.
tions upon the Burlington as regards
traffic sources.
Under the proposed grouping of the
western lines. Mr.. Holden said. there
would be constituted four major sys-
TENS built around the Santa Fe.
Southern Pacific. Rock Island, Union
Pacific and Burlington-Great North
ern lines. In the first three groups,
the central system was strengthened
and fortified in its territory by the
consolidation plan; but without the
Colorado and Southern. tho Burling-
ton.Great Northern group would be
greatly weakened as compared with
Its prerent pOsftion
The principal inequality of throw
ing the Colorado and Southern with
