 AUTO PROBLEM
Builder Giving Most Will Be Most Sue
 cessful

The problem in the automobile in- dustry today is the furnishing of ade- quate transportation, declares Mir. Har- ry NJ. Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Gar company.
 He has informed MT. l.. H. Penning- ton, manager of the local branch of the Detroit Motor company, that he believes the motor car builder who gives the most miles of transportation at the least cost will be the' most successful.
 A comparison of prices of the va- rious leading lines of automobiles with their prices four and eight years ago shows that the original cost of a motor car today is far below that of past years. The National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce recently proved that the public was getting 113 cents worth of automobile for it's dollars, comparing prices of 1914 and 1924.
 In calling this to the attention of all the dealers in the Paige and Jewett Mir. Jewett has reminded them that a purchaser must be kept a customer by providing him with good service when he needs it.

HER FATAL CHARM

A mother-in-law was in the habit of visiting her daughter just often enough to make her daughters husband wish he had married an orphan.
 One day she arrived and found her daughter in tears.
 What has happened? Has George deserted you? Has he run away?
 "Y-yes."
 "Then there is a woman in the case: who is sheT"
 "Y-youw fsobbing).
 Good heavens! And to think that I never encouraged him !'-Pasquino Turin.

PARKING ON A HILL

When parking the car head first up- hill most drivers cut the front wheels so that if he car should start coasting backward the right front one would strike the curb. This, they believe, is ample protection. But suppose that bump against the curb were sufficient to knok the wheel straight again? This is a possibility which more experienced drivers get around by parking the car with the wheels cut in the opposite di- rection. In this way, should the car go free, the right rear wheel will strike the curb. And as this would not yield to the curb the car would be checked no matter what position the steering wheel should take after the jar.

PAINTING THE NIGHT

Impossible to paint the night.' Yet one can paint a bonfire aflame fin the dark, paint the smell of the cornstalks burning and the accordion notes hum ming high and low. folks dancing around, lanterns swinging, vermilion reflections on the gaunt tree limbs, dark monstrous shadows; and only way above, the far distant stars blaz- ing the high trail, the same stars, lemon yellow stars.-Escape, bh Alden

to play in streets, certain streets should be designed as play streets so that chil- dren may play there without fear of accident. No vehicles of any kind should be allowed on those streets during play hours. And when the police designate streets as play streets parents should cooperate to see that their children actually lay there.

WASHINGTON LETTER

the air are almost in the class
with bedtime stories-the same
old stuff.
Another source of trouble for
the candidates and their press
agents is the attitude of the
newspapers. Once upon a time,
it was customary for the papers,
principally for partisan reasons,
to print all the balderdash ut
tered by the candidates. Nova
days, the publicity men protest
against the refusal of editors,
who, it is said. are more indie
pendent in their political ideas,
to allot unlimited space to their
candidates announcements. 1t
is easy to distribute propaganda
but another matter to have it
printed. Study of the position
taken by the average editor, as
reported to campaign headquar-
tiers here. indicates that the prin-
cipal objection is to re-publica-
ton of candidates speeches under
different date lines. In other
words, the editors say that they
want election news as news mat
ter, not a re-hash of the speak
er's former addresses. New ideas
and not repetition is the guide to
space.
1t is always difficult to meas
ure the influence of prosperity
and hard times upon the elector-
ate. Yet. the politicians here,
Judging from their statements,
could easily explain their interest
in the words of Carlyle the
purse is the master-organ, souls
seat and the pineal gland of the

tempt is made to keep the ques-
ton of relative prosperity in the
limelight of discussion-for po-
litical effect. Poverty often has
a cramping effect on voters
mind though it is equally true
that prosperity and plenty car
ries with it a certain langour
which makes men more indiffer-
ent to current affairs. There is
little if any consistency in the
struggle for high places in gov
eminent.
Recently, effort has been made
to trace the migration from farm
to cities and estimate its influ-
ence on party government. Ac-
cording to figures compiled by
the Department of Agriculture
approximately 100000 persons
left rural districts for the city,
owing to agricultural depression.
Undoubtedly, some of these men
and women drifted back for the
statistics were tabulated in 1922.
The story given out that this
movement is not as significant as
it appears at first glance for a
large number of the changes
were noted in the South where
the rural vote seldom switches
from one party. Too much i'm
portance is attached to natural
changes in residence for citizen

With Defense Day" at hand,
the discussion as to its usefulness
continues to grow with increas-
ing bitterness. Some favor more
international conferences for the
assurance of peace while others
insist that it is essential to pre-
paredness.
