them is absolutely essential. Hand
ling an army on paper as is now done
and actually mobilizing them are two
different matters. 1t will be useless
to train troops IL we are to have no
training in handling them. The Gov
eminent would be providing tools
without seeing to 1t that there shall
be those who will know how to use
them.
There seems to US something emil
nently sensible in the comment of
General Pershing, who certainly is
not an extremist in military affairs.
On the contrary he proved a very
capable administrator at time when
practical administration was essen
tial to success of our armies. He is
capable Of estimating the benefit to
be had from Defense Day" It surely
may be doubted II Messrs. Davis and
Bryan are capable Of making such an
estimate.
1t will do us no harm to read
Pershings comment. 1t Is this:
1.-THE World War for us may be
likened to a fire. We had to carry
water in buckets to put out this fire.
This has been very expensive
method. Now we think we have
progressed and should have a volun-
teer fire department and fire engine.
We are now going to test the efflcien-
cy of the company and try out the
hose we have acquired.
I'VE have been running to these
fires with buckets for $50 years, but
we now hope that preparedness will
make this no longer necessary. l my
self and every ex-service man is
ready to go to the mat on this ques-
ton of national defense"

One day as Little Jack Rabbit was
hopping through the woods. he heard
a little Blackbird say:
do you not hear beautiful music ?"
And when Little Jack Rabbit turned
his head, he saw beneath a tree a
shepard boy playing on flute. And
the music was so sweet that the
birds and animals gathered around
to listen to it.
But the bunny boy was bent on
seeing the world. so he rode away.
with the little blackbird flying on
ahead, and by and by, he heard a
voice singing:
"Oh. woe is me, a little fish,
That waits for certain death.
Pray throw me back into the lake,
That may gain my breath"
Close at hand, on the bank of a
large pond, lay a pretty silver fish.
No sooner had the bunny boy tossed
it back into the water than. in few
minutes. it came to the surface and
said:

written his mother back in the
country an unusually affectionate
letter.
He was coming home, he said, and
was bringing her a number of pres
ents, among them a striped Japan
csc kimono.
The mother got the sense Of most
OF the letter unaided, but, finding
herself unable to grapple with all
her sons big words, she handed it to
the educated niece for a second
perusal.
"a striped japanese kimono" the
niece exclaimed, when she came to
that part Of the letter. How nice!"
"Nice!" exclaimed the perplexed

This is all part of the depreciation
consideration and can be figured as
easily as the general depreciation
item. All the motorist has to do is
figure in the bills he pays for re-
pairs, repainting and such like. They
automatically record the depreciation
over and above the annual rental
of the vehicle itself.
1t is easy enough to keep repair
bills on file. Some owners are in
clined to hide them, but generally
they can be found. Gas purchases
and supplies are obtained from the

who know the value Of knowing

Nothing should be overlook ed It
IS foolish for car owner to say that
his car costs him 3 cents a mile to
operate and then add: "Of course, this
doesn't include depreciation and re-
pairs and odds and ends" Figure in
everything that is in any way a part
of keeping the car in service, inciud-
ing the cost of the car itself and all
the incidentals it involves.
H
Storage should be included in the
rolling" cost, even though it is a
habit with many people to leave it
out. The storage of the car is part
of its operating cost. If you don't
give it shelter it will get rusty and go
dull. You'll have to have it repainted
sooner. Its radiator may freeze in

keeping it rolling. Suppose You never
bought polish for it. Suppose you
Wouldn't that hasten the day when
you would be obliged to trade in for
new car? And would a reduction
in the number of years of use of your
car make the annual cost of owning
just that much more?
Having discovered what it costs you
to run your car, the next point is to
translate this into mile cost. Here
you have got to study Your own case

results will vary according 10 the
