Revolutionary riding and driving results have come

Take for instance the good Maxwels new practice of

The great crying demand Of the motoring public today
is for removal of vibration and consequently greater

And the good Maxwell now answers that demand in
a way no fourcylinder car has ever done before.
Here you have at an innpressively moderate price,

LONDON, June 19.-The House Of
Commons last night rejected four
imperial preference resolutions. but
only by an exceedingly narrow ma
jority, showing that a large section
of the members Of the house were op-
posed to breaking faith with the col
onies, which would have benefited by
preferential duties on dried fruits and
other commodities promised by the
previous government of Premier
Baldwin.
The first resolution was rejected by
2s4 to 271. Whsn four of the ten
resolutions had been voted down, Mr..
Baldwin said he did not propose to
debate the remainder, and conse-
Quently they were not brought up.
The debate traversed familiar
ground, Mr.. Baldwin and his conserv-
ative supporters arguing the rejec-
tion of the resolutions would mean
breaking faith with the dominions
1t was declared that the necessity to
pay the American debt required
Great Britain to pour out a greater
flow of exports than ever; that it
was impossible to break down the
tariff walls in the European, Ameri-
can and Japanese markets, unless
England possessed some bargaining
instrument.
Premier Macdonald in reply said
the idea underlying the conservative
contentious was that the British em
pire might become something eco

Man-Made Women

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
TT ATELY there has been a
ii ringing demand from the
men folks for the return Of
the old fashioned woman Dire are
the prophecies made public unless
We so back 10 our ancient tradi-
tons ond manners.
The men have quite lot to say
about their veneration and respect
for sweet feminity They hold up as
their highest ideal the girl who is
gentle and modest thoughtful and
kind. and quite true to form. but
they never marry this ideal Now,
If the world is actually going to the
dogs because there are not enough
high pr1ncipled women. the mon
can very easily remedy this condi-
ton. In their hands alone lies the
power to save civilization.
For merely generating and re-
speeding a girl is not going TO get
her anywhere, as she Is fully aware.
A man can admire and worship
sweet WomanhOod all he pleases. but
If he never proposes what good is
the girl going to get out of that?
Being venerated is not half as nice
as being all dated up. as Miss Tween
tieth Century very well knows and
naturally she acts upon this theory.
Too many young men are passing
up the gentle, modest girl to take the
fiippant, cocktail drinking misses
out for joy rides; too many older
men are leaving their faithful work
ing wives TO pick up the younger
and gayer sort for the women TO
put much faith in all this talk
about womanly women" which the

poses.

For well equipped college is to

veterans entitled to adjusted
compensation insurance are not in
terested in the matter enough to
apply for it.
This is the conclusion Of officials
in charge of Administration of the
recently enacted bonus. OF the
4,20O. 900 veterans entitled to the
bonus only 100000 have applied
for it. About 100000 have not
filed applications.
The first batch of insurance
certificates are ready to be mailed
from the Veterans Bureau here
Jan. |.
Some officials attribute the failure
of veterans to apply for their in
surance certificates TO misunder-
standing on their part Of the value
of these certificates.
Representative Elmer Thomas of
Oklahoma is proposing in Congress
to simplify the payment of this adj
justed compensation by amending
the present law so that the insurance
certificates can be turned in to the
Government for cash Immediately.
Thomas is drafting bill TO this
end. He says that many ex-service
men feel that borrowing money on
insurance certificates involves too
much red tape.
Many of the men need the ready
cash now and the bill which l am
now completing and will introduce as
soon as Congress reconvenes pro
vides that the certificates can be
treated the same as any paid up life
insurance policy" Thomas stated.
For instance. the bin will provide
that any veteran can surrender his
certificate to the Government at any
time and receive what is coming to
him at once.
