A DEAD NATION

An American observer, newly returned from Rus
sa paints not unfamiliar picture OF that distressed
country-ts ruined industry wretched transportation,
hgn cost OF living, desolate cities and general misery
But even more appalling than his account OF the break
down of industrial and business machinery is what he
calls the "deadening mediocrity' which has become
the Keynote of all existence AT least it has that eff
fect on of individuals like the Americans, who
insist on personal freedom and opportunity for every
citizen to develop the utmost that is in him. along lines
of his own choosing.
Bolshevism, even in its modified form, which ad-
mits considerable element of capitalism, is essentially
a scheme to make human life and effort uniform 1t
wants to cast individuals in mold 1t labors to
stereotype existence That, Ruggles of Red Gap
would say, would never do with u.s.
1t will not do forever with the Russians, because
they human, with natural human emotions and
pratons. Eventually they will seek free selfexpres
sion again, they did when they overthrew czarism
They will outgrow the tyranny of the many they
outgrew the tyranny of the And that must be left
to the Russians themselves Outside nations have
neither the right the duty to interfere.
Meanwhile, that unfortunate race deserves less
condemnation than sympathy. 1t may even deserve
certain of gratitude from the rest of mankind
because it has tried extreme Socialism big scale,
for the first time in history and given proof that it
will work in the present state Of human society and
human nature.

OAKLAND SIX
SETS FAST PACE
in ASCOT RACE
Not Necessary to Lift
Hood Once in Long
Grind

One of the surprises of the Turkey
Day road race at Ascot was the re-
markable showing of the strictly
stock Oakland six driven by non
professional driver.
The Oakland was one of the ears
to actually qualify for the big event
and its speed meritcd for its posi-
tion number 8 in the lineup, accord
ing to the reports of the scorers.
When the real event was staged
the Oakland proved its rightsto this
position By setting a pace that for
a time looked like it would carry
the ear over the finish line in first
place. according to Harry Neville,
who watched the cars performance
from a point of vantage.
THE only change in the Oakland
was the shortening of the frame in
order to negotiate the steep
eurves,' says p. L, Moore, general
manager, Imperial Valley Finance

ers, otherwise the ear was as
stock rs any ear that any Oakland
owner is driving on the streets to.
dav. and il was entered and driven
by the Pomona dealer for the Oak
land, assisted by a man in the Po-
mona sales organizations.
Though the Oakland did not
finish III the lead, it set some very
interesting records which speak vol
umes for the splendid construction
of the car. First of all the car was
strictly stock, with the motor tuu-
ed up and the chassis shortened in
with the needs of the
track. 1t maintained remarkable
rate of speed, travelling 80 laps in
three hours 81 minutes, y seconds.
in this event rs i'll all others.
the Oakland has always made good.
1t has always served to substantiate
the claims made for it and to prove
why it renders such a high degree
of owner satisfaction.
I'm the Ascot event, j. +. Jones,
our dealer in Pomona entered the
ear en- his own account and with
John Nickers prepared the car for
the race and then between them
they drove II i'll the dangerous
speed race. -.
Jones had as much confidence
n the ear as we had after banding
he 6-j4 for almost two years and
We were surprised when he didn II
.op the honored first place which
low seems to be somewhat in the
hroes of a debate. If the disquai-
fieations are sustained, the Oakland
entry will advance to fourth place
against eighth place in which the
ear finished. Protests were filed
by other entrants against cars that
finished but which had previously
failed to qualify in accordance with
the rules for the big race

THE BUSINESS VOCABULARY

Five hundred words, according to researches
Quoted by the Russell Sage Foundation, make up the
working vocabulary of the average American business
man. That is not the conversational vocabulary, but
the correspondence vocabulary. =
1t is easy for the stenograpner out rather monton-
for the recipients of business letters And nview
of the intelligence and range of knowledge of the afore
said business man. it is remarkable limitation The
average grammar school graduate knows many
than 500 words. A cultured person may have the
ready of several thousand and many recognize
several times many he uses himself.
No other language has, ever has had, the rich
and variety of the English language Why be sat-
sfied merely with small fraction of its wealth, the
petty coins of business and social intercourse used
SO much that they smooth as old dimes and
pennies?
A rich vocabulary shows rich mind. Variety is
the spice of speech and correspondence less than
of life itself.
The business man who has many words at his dis
posa make his point with force and certainty. He
can win attention and respect and make his letters
read The 500word letter writer often fails of his pur
pose because every word and phrase is familiar
to arouse interest Even an occasional word SO un-
usa as to perplex the reader may be good thing, be-
cause it makes him stop and pay attention to what he
reading instead of sliding through with his mind
shut.
