The attempt to put anyone on the defensive
about driving an assembled car" doesn't hold
water
We are handling the Moon Car in preference
to any other because the Moon is built to give
every last dollars worth there is in the
automotive industry.
Here is the Moon building policy:
The Moon Car is designed by the Moon
engineers unified, balanced car built of
units produced by the leading specialists.
These proven units are designed expressly to
coordinate in the unified Moon Car by the
specialist engineers working in collaboration
with the Moon engineers.
Among these units are the following:
Special Moon Continental Red Seal Motor,
designed by the Continental specialists in
collaboration with Moon.
Special Moon Thinker Axles-front and rear.
Special Moon-Warner Transmission.
Special Moon-Delco Starting, Lighting and
Ignition.

= IF you are planning to put fifteen hundred
/ dollars or more into carve can probably
save you q couple of hundred dollars.
Or, you are thinking in terms around eight
hundred dollars or so, we can show you how
a couple Of hundred more will give you just
about double the worth for your money.
In all the automobile world there is not
sweeter, truer job of sheer building intee-.
rity than you will find in the Moon Car.
Nor smarter style. There is not a more
beautiful car on the streets today than the
Moon.
The next time some automobile salesman
tells you that the Moon is an assembled
car just remind him that practically every
other car nowadays is an assembled car"
They use standard mechanical units.
These units are not built by the car manu-
facturer, but by concerns that make these
units their specially.
These standard units are better they are
sound mechanical econcrnics-and you can
depend on them in daily use.

The Moon Factory has achieved success by
putting plenty of good old-fashioned work
into Moon Car.
The Moon engineers have made themselves
specialists in designing and building the fin.
ished car.
So when we sell Moon Car we feel every
confidence that it is going to give everything
the purchaser expects of it and more.
Each car has already proved itself by an
actual running test on the open road before
it left the factory.
Now what we'd like would be to have you
come in and let us put Moon Car at your
disposal.
You can drive it yourself-and check what
we say by what the Moon does.
Prices on Moon Cars accommodate wide
range of preference-all the way from the
Series "a" Touring at $10o5, to the 6-56
Petite Sedan at $2685. All prices f. o. b.

 In the show window she put a conspicuous sign "Henpstitcbi1lg Done On Short eNotice.'' She knew enough of feminine psy- chology to figure out that it would appeal to the neighborhood len, whose trade she wanted, because women are always iE a hurry to get back hem stitching jobs. But living up to the sign had been a hardship, for she was alone except for her ten-year-old daughter. Of late things had been piling up; her trade trade had increased, so the demands upon her left less and less time fol. hernstitching and some days there was positively a nerve wracking effort not to disappoint customers who had hopefully left lin- gerie and dresses.

a few minutes. The ether suddenly became silent.
 Missed Nothing.
 Housewives listening in at home were able to tell their husbands who attend ed the convention many incidents, which those in attendance missed. One man returned home after the first ses- sion of the democratic conclaTe, and as he, and his wife compared notes on what they had heard and seen he asked her how she enjoyed listening to the broad casts. She said Tt wasn't half as good as the broadcasting from the Cleveland convention. There they said many nice things about the republi- cans, but today everybody seemed to speak against the republicans
 Persons in Madison Square Garden and on the outskirts of the crowd could not hear the speakers voice direct as quickly as listeners in Kansas City or Atlanta, because radio, travels at the speed ofAsunlight and sound about 1000 feet second. r.
 Fred Van Nuye of Indianapolis, in placing Samuel NJ. Ralston in the nomi- nation for the presidency, used terms familiar to the millions of radio listen CTS. He referred to his. candidate as one .'who would not have broadcast silence to an outraged and expectant people, but would have led them with dynamic and not a static spi; : of Americani- zation.n The next day veteran news paper man said .'Well, the radio fans ought to favor Ralston." ' .
 At Republican Convention
 At the republican convention several impromptus leaked into the other lanes, but the democrats evidently guarded the microphone from the side remarks and sotto voice phrases. In the radio studios an announcer is always present to pull the switch and cut out the micro phone suggesting that the band play spoken. The radio audiences listening in on the republican convention heard low voice of a voluntary spokesman suggest to Chairman Mondell that he put on a quartet or start something as some of the delegates were walking out" on him. One delegate before he took the platform was heard to. argue with the chairman as to whether he could have five or ten minutes in which to speak his piece. Another excited voice cried out. that fist fight was go- luS Ou III iOHS coElleI VI bhC uah ahO asked why it was not stopped. Then a faint voice reached the micro phone suggesting tlfat the. band pay '.The Star-Spangled Banner" to queH the impending riot. Prompting and coaching of several speakers was no. ticed by the radio listeners, although the whispers could not be heard by thoss only a few feet from the prompter. :. One of the most exciting periods ot the republican convention was during the speech of John A. Cooper, q dele gate from Wisconsin, who offered g minority, report to substitute for the majority report of the resolutions com. mittee. Tie radical changes in the platform which he proposed aroused considerable interest on the part of the delegates. After speaking for five oi ten minutes the radio audience heard

 Ina .Paguinia called conyocation of his thirty chiefs. A formal coun- cil was held in Ina Paguinia's huge hut, with rigid observance of all the tribal ceremonias. To me it was a solemn and impressive occasion.

 But an especially trying day drove her to the Want Ads. And Billy's mother Y was the first to come in re- sponse to the summons of The Age-Herald classified columns si
 Five minutes of conver-a sation settled the whole. proposition. Billy's mother had had quite adequate ex-, perience as a hernstitcher and, furthermore, she wassr only too glad to do. part eE time work if the business slackened and the proprie- ; tress found she did not 7 need someone all day. It. would give her an oppor-+ tdnity to do dressmaking at home for friends who had been asking her to sew for them.
 Then began the hot lunches at noon for Billy, whose mother sang now about the house far more often than she used to- when she had hurried away in the morning, worried all day and rushed. back at night.
 And the other woman never regretted taking on a. helper. Her efficiency in- creased with her leisure; she had more time for her window displays, for think ing up sales plans, and more time too for her own little daughter. =

Could seven year old Billy know that a Want Ad baked the big potato and boiled the steaming cups of cocoa he has for lunch, his imagination would be greatly stirred. .,
 But ifh does not, in the mind of his mother there is a very direct connection between two lines that ap- peared under Help Want ed-Female" and the plea sure, happiness and peace of mind she has now, as she bustles about at the noon hour, preparing that sim- pie meal.
 When Billy's mother had to go to work to take care of Billy, her one wish was to find a job near, home. Then.she would not have'to start, off so early in the morning; she could run in at noon and give Billy the farm lunch he needed and not have to ask a neighbor to see that he put on his rubbers if it rained and keep a supervising eye on him, Then too, she could be home earlier at night. . She did her best to find such a job, but without suc- cess, so she took the best downtown job that offered itself as a substitute, with the determination to keep her eye open for the first opportunity to be near home-or, at least,' to find something good enough in another neighborhood, to justify her moving there.
 That meant following the "Help Wanted" ads, which she did faithfully. She tuxned the first thing every day to the classified pages of The Age-Herald.

 Succession Of Jobs .
 From that tiae on he found him self in a succession of jobs, each bet ter in pay, generally easier in physical labor ana harder in mental work, un- til in 1912, when he was 36 years old, he was elected president of the company. Bethlehem Steel was moi then the great factor in the steel in dustry it late became. Its previous career had been somewhat stormy and Charles Schwab had pulled it to its feet. The first two years of Mir. Grace's presidency were not good steel years but, thanks to his able leader, to the young president and an unusually ca pable corps of f-executives developed Bethlehem was doing fairly well.
 Then the World war broke. It was Bethlehem's great opportunity. The public always likes to idealize men Consequently: it was believed for a long time that the remarkable preparation of Bethlehem for war business was the mental product solely of Charles M Schwab, the man who was big: enough to resign the presidency of United States Steel. Nothing, however, is far ther from the truth and MT. Schwab has stated time and again that the growth of the company was due to the exceptionally able staff the corporation had at the beginning. It had men who knew steel from the bottom to the top it had several financial wizards it had men whose knowledge of foreign mar kets was unsurpassed. The credit must be divided among them all, and much of it is due to the man who was the active executive head of far-flung em- pire of steel, with interests as far away as Chile, and including not only the furnaces, mills, foundries and manu- featuring plants, but shipbuilding yards, ordnance plants, armor plate mills, mines and distributing agencies.
 In 1912 Bethlehem made about $39,- 100000 worth of steel. In 1914 it made S69. .O00, 900 worth. By 1915 out put scared to $275, ,0O0. 900, and in 1917 to $56O, 100000. =.

While Dr. Baer was un- able to rtach final conclusions regard ing many details under consideration, his notes are in such form as to clearly indicate the basis of his work, and it is believed that the later completion of his researches will lead to important anthropolOgical findings.
 Dr. c. M. Breeder, ichthyologist of the American Museum of Natural His tory of New York, = brought back a number of interesting specimens, which are being examined today at the New York Aquarium. Among them were strange red=eyed frogs. There have been many stories of these creatures but scientists gave them little credence and when the expedition left. Dr. Ere der's confreres chaffed him about his chance of finding them. To his own astonishment, he did lind them and they are a valuable addition to the ac- quarium collection. Dr. Breder said he found many new leads" dmong the fishes of the region, ard had several theories and conjecturcs regarding orig in, distribution, et:., but would require more time before making lhy definite statements regarding them.

 NEW YORK, July 12.-Radio hay ing spread the roaring, nominating, balloting and band music of two na- tional conventions over the country, has gained many new followers and thou sands now have q keener interest in politics.
 Twenty radio stations linked to the microphones in Madison Square Gar den by 3,156 miles of telephone wires carried the voices and cheers of the democratic delegates back to their home towns, no matter whether they were in Missouri, Illinois, Maine or Georgia. Throughout New England planting was stopped, sawmilfs shut down and work in the towns came to a standstiii while large crowds gathered around oud- speakers in barber shops, newspaper of. fees, gasoline filling stations and stores to hear the convention news direct from Madison Square Garden, says the New York Times.
 It was planned by the radio impre- sarios to send out only the interesting speeches, but apparently the censors considered everything interesting and let the sounds in the Cleveland public auditorium and Madison Square Gar den continuously flow through the ether on over dozen different wave lengths
 At only one point in the broadcasting did listeners think their ses had failed, and they began to search for loose con. nections. One listener went up on the roof of his apartment to see if his an; tenna was still aloft, and there he found four other apartment dwellers on. the same mission.

Captain Jack Sheridan, who has been in the Darien, gave the Chepu, the White boy, a whistle with. which the San, Blat call turkeys--fashioned of a sea shell and reed. The boy's face was sud denly alive with eagerness aud inter- est which all the wonders of New York could not arouse. His smile was ecstatie, as the first squawk--a perfect imitation of wild turkey-carried him back to his beloved jungle. It was the only one of the promised wonders which pierced the imperturbable aloofness of the strange visitors. The other Indians gathered around, their interest and curiosity .quickened. From then on they seemed more friendly and assured, as they were be-set by photographers and this was a bit of courtesy on the part reporters. No doubt, in their minds, of their hosts--a gracious deference to their preferences and interests, and they were duly appreciatiye.
 On account of the immigration laws, requiring :. the .depositihg of bonds to guaranty the safety of alien minor visi- tors, the Indians were kept at Ellis Is- land over night.
