A German Fakir.

Hauptman Gerald Kanzlen veteran of the World War in Germany, whose forefathers belonged to the armies of Frederick the Great and the Great Elector in the days of Prussia's ruse, has sworn that he will not shave or wash until the wrongs inflicted upon the fatherland by the treaty of Versailles have been avenged. The Herr Hauptman seeks strange method to free his country. Instead of going to work and trying to adapt himself to new condi- tions, he is going to look unkempt and filthy and will be the object of jeers and laughter, we fear. A man can practice virtues for the well fare of his nation or tribe without going to such extraordinary procedure. In India there are fakirs, who wither their arms and legs for the sake of expiation of their own sin, others swing suspended by a hook buried in the flesh to serve as a reminder to others to fight evil. Herr Hauptmann Kanzler has placed himself in this class of foolish fanat-

Science And Religion.

The Church of England is taking an un-
 usually progressive stand in the matter of science. Conferences between leading church men and famous scientists have been held in
 Oxford with a view to establish science and religion on basis as complementary clements in life. To some writers there is no need of
 such a gathering. When Laplace presented Napoleon with his book, La Mecanique Celeste" the emperor said Il hear that in
 this book on Nature you have forgotten the name of the Author" whereupon Laplace re- piled: 'Sire, had no need of that hypothe- sis" There are numbers of men, however, who feel that science and religion cannot be separated any longer. Both are needed and rightly used contribute greatly to human welfare. An old Arabic saying has it that
 ''the ink of science is more precious than the blood of martyrs" Yet the sentiment ex- pressed there differs a good deal from the Irish scribe of the middle ages, who wrote |" 'Tis sad to see the sons of learning in ever lasting hell-fire burning, while he who can not read a line doth in eternal glory shine

There has been much discussion, of
course, concerning the unprece-
dented sales Of the Chrysler. No car
Of quality has ever made such a sue
cess in the same space of time.
Naturally there has been a great
deal of speculation as to where these
sales came from. That question can
be quickly answered. The Chrysler
has made a market which is all its
own. Its outstanding qualities are
universal in their appeal. Everyone
delights in the Chrysler combination
Of dashing appearance and dashing
performance. Everyone recognizes at
once how unnecessarily high and

record in driving contend that he
was merely the victim of his profess
sion.
According to the Department Of
Commerce there has been too little
consideration for the ability of many
persons who are buying cars on
small initial payments to drive safe
~, and since large percentage of
the time payment purchases repre-
sents buying on the part of the
skilled laborer, there is agitation for
investigation of the part such citi-
zens play in safe driving. Many
contend that because cars come easy
to those who earn high wages there
should be tendency to be careless
in the operation of such cars, but
some of the facts that are now avail
able do not support this conclusion.
1t is shown, for instance, that while
the purchase of cars is greatly SIM
plified, the average laborer- -motorist
does not find maintenance any too
easy, particularly since he is coming
to discover that his wages are high
only in figure, his purchasing power
being actually less in some instances.
This class of motorist does not
usually Insure his car nor take out
a public liability policy. thus having
u double reason for being careful
when he is at the wheel. Insurance,
however, is not considered by intel
1igent people to be an incentive to
carelessness, for the man who buys
coverage for his car is generally en-
Jightened enough to know that it is
doubly effective If used in connection
with his own vigilance.
Concentration Needed.
The workingman who drives a car
IS generally considered to be as safe
as the average, provided he can read
warning signs and is familiar with
the motor vehicle laws. The proposed
investigation, however, proves other
wise, particularly If it is discovered
that certain occupational diseases
render their victims undesirable as
motor drivers. 1t may be discovered,
for instance, that a bricklayer makes
q better driver, on the average, than
a plasterer, or vice versa.
Your business may have a lot to
do with your success and ability
as a driver. Time and investigation
will tell. But in the meantime motor
vehicle authorities agree that all
driving would be safer if those who
engage in it would endeavor to put
their occupations to one side when
they take the wheel, and concentrate
pn the business OF driving.

ton of space, weight and height, the
delightful ease of handling and park
ing, the cradling comfort both of
riding and driving these things are
too pronounced to be overlooked by
one who has driven moro cumber-
some cars. So the Chrysler invades
the division of highest price-and
makes equally striking appeal to the
division below it and the next and
the next. There isn't an unnecessary
ounce or inch in the Chrysler-noth-
ing but a thoroughbred utility
throughout which has revised public
conception of what constitutes
sound motor car investment. The
Chrysler market is a market made
up of people who instantly discard
the past when the present offers
them something better. And that
means, of course-all America.
