BY WILLIAM CLLMAN.


Every one knows what the coming
Of the automobile has done for the
world; the automobile, in all its in
tricate design that the residents or
Washington are viewing at the show
this week; but it requires the sery-
ices of visionary scenarist to depict
what might have been had the auto
mobile not come into existence.
A vision of what might have been
the America of today without gaso-
line conveyance gives one a new idea
of the Importance of the motor car
in everyday affairs. You can take
any division of society, any business
or any art as we know it at the pres
ent moment and, by tracing its prob
able development without the auto
mobile, come to have a more perfect
understanding Of what the automobile
has done for it and done to it.
In Clothing Industry.
The Retail Clothing Merchants As
ISOLATION recently gave evidence of
the unique effect the motor car is
having on the clothing industry. Car
owners are said TO be more interested
in meeting their payments on theft
new models than in selecting their
raiment, which is doubtless because
car ownership covers q multitude OF
sins and furnishes a handy excuse
for the carelessness of their dress.
1t is not the purpose of this
treatise on u subject that has upset
and revolutionized the world to weep
tears with the clothing merchants
nor to dissertate upon the outcome
of mems dress in America There is
n more interesting way of looking
upon the subject. What. for instance,
would the average American man be
wearing in the way of raiment If
Dobbin still stood parked at the
hitching post?
Change i'm Clothes.
He would still be wearing starched
,uffs because there would be no oil
drains to fish around for, no car
buretors to tickle and no jacks to set
under the axle. That much is certain.
Top hats would be more popular than
ever for Sunday promenading. And
if any golfer ever walked into a
downtown store clad in his knickers

And Dreary Picture Result

Women Dozens of Hairpins, and Tall
Top Hats You'd Be Very Popular.

he probably would be shot at sun
rise.
Without the automobile a woman
on the street could not think of dress
ing in ballroom finery. She would be
wearing warm stockings and high
shoes of the straight-laced variety.
for there would be the tedious, windy
ride in the buggy to count on and
no comfy, heated sedans to lounge in.
Women would be wearing their
hats about five inches off their heads
for that was the trend before the
automobile stepped in and showed
that speed required streamline head
gear. The average man would have
to wait about forty-five minutes each
time he desired to take the wife out
for buggy ride, since seven dozen
hairpins would have to be anchored
before the parade started.
Changes Woman's Habits.
Today a woman has the choice OF
jumping into her raiment posthaste
or Of going downtown by herself in
the street car Hubby has found the
automobile so remarkably useful that
he has developed his business to a
point where he must hustle every mo-
ment of the day. If the woman of
today desires to ride with him she
must step lively, and the same thing
applies where she undertakes to
drive him to the Office in the morn
ing.
Some one has wisely said that with
out tho automobile the American
woman would not even be voting.
The desire to take part in civic ac-
tivities, local or national results from
a desire to complain. without the
automobile the average domesticated
woman would have little in the way
of city or government administra
ton to object to; but nowadays the
majority of women all have certain
constables, magistrates and traffic
officers which they would like to see
deposed.
Without the motor car as con-
spicuous part of daily life the police
courts and jails would still be the
exclusive domain of the unfortunates
who. knowing little Of the comforts
of life, would not be likely to start

HELP WANTED IN POCA-

Those who suffer with kidney back
ache, urinary ills or any little kidney
or bladder disorder, want kidney help.
Who can better advise than some Poca-

but has had relief. Pocahontas people
recommend Doans Pills. Ask your
neighbor! Here's one case and there
are many others.
A, A. Sage, contractor, Gil School
St., Pocahontas, says: "A cold settling
in my kidneys left them in bad shape.
A dull pain across my kidneys just
about put me under and l didn't feel
like keeping on the job. When / bent

On Hanging The Fiddle AT The
Door

Samuel Butler in his way of All
Flesh" makes serious charge against
clergy and ministers. The clergyman
is expected to he a kind of human
Sunday. Things must not he done by
him which are venial in the week day
classes. He is paid for this business
of leading a stricter life than other
people" Such unnatural tension in
public, he said, was followed by eX-
haustiOn, when the tension was no
longer necessary. His children are
the most dcfenseless things he can
reach, and it is on them in nine cases
out Of ten that he will relieve his
mind"
1t is a mOnstrous charge and quite
untrue Of the majority. Butler, how
ever, was a parsons son and presum-
ably knew something about what he
was saying. 1t is rather gratuitous
to suggest that i'm the gibe there is
an echo of his own early experience.
But even if there was. he had no right
to level the charge against whole
class. Still, his words call attention
to a very real peril hardly less peril

not at all charming.
Sometimes, of course, the role is re-
versed. There are women who hang
the fiddle at the door, They shine in
society. They charm and make con
quests. Then, as though the effort had
quite exhausted them, they reveal quite
another side at home. They are poor
homemates and not at all helpmates.
Those nearest them know them at their
worst. They have to live with a dark
and discOrdant reaction.

are obviously despisers of home. Yet

music Of our life. Its claims come
before those Of either club or ballroom
or concert hall. In one Of the old CON

and narrow dwelling it was, yet on
the walls Of that cell he did his finest

Of words to describe" The narrowest

than being a traitor to the State.

to be treated as man. His personal

meted out to it. If only we
could see that wherever we are we

disastrous fire which broke out
shortly after s o'clock last night

moments. The Silver Spring fire de-
partmeut responded to telephone
alarms. hut the 1lames had gained
such headway that they could not be
checked before most Of the house
was III ruins.
The members Of the family escaped
without difficulty and were cared for
by neighbors. Practically the entire
