ing to take the audience back with
them to the scenes and places of 1917

When a Swiss Buys

taken lightly said Werner I.isch
Swiss distributor for the Packard
Motor Car Company while visitinz
the Packard factory recently. No

you people here in America
make a dollar as easily us We Swiss
make three francs" said Mr.. Risch
This means. by comparison in the
earning effort outlaid for a car
that when a Swiss buys car which
would cost an American $4,000 lie is
spending something like $4,000. And
you can be assured that everything
on car is subjected to the most
minute scrutiny before a Swiss buys
it.
You Americans purchasing IN
automobile take about everything
that goes into the making Of the
car more or less for granted. Our
people paying more actual money
because of the duty and freight
charges involved, besides the diff
ference in our values placed on
money, consider they are making an
investment for long period OF
years and refuse to take anyones
word on the relative merits IF all
the cars under their consideration
They don't buy until after long
study during which they make
themselves experts on every ne
chanical feature Of motor car.
There is plenty Of reason. be-
cause Of this condition, why .tmeri-
cans should feel proud Of the fact
that their machine-made cars are
selling in increasing volume in &C
tive competition with the so-called
handmade cars of Europe.
Driving an automobile ir our
country is an entirely different mat
ter from guiding one along one Of
your paved highways. We are
either going up mountain or COM
ing down and from the standpoint
of driving one is much the same as
the other. And besides this our peo-
pie know nothing of paved high
ways. Our driving is all done in
either second or first si,eed. Our
roads are narrow and wind back
and. forth to make it possible to
climb the grades at all. Most of the
turns are so short one has to stop
and back up at least once to get
around them. Only automobiles Of
the best can last in our country.
Maintenance of a car in Switzer-
land is problem that comes In fer
the most earnest consideration of
every person who buys one. Our
people don't trade their old machine
in and get = new one every two or
three years, Instead they buy only
those cars that will last over a long
period Of years although, because OF
the character of the country, given
the hardest use to which an auto
mobile could be subjected anywhere.
An automobile to- them means too
great an Investment to be mistreat-
ed and they have not han to be
taught that there Is no economy in
buying q car that will not give years
of desirable life simply because the
initial investment might be slightly
less. We have no used car prob

MARRIED TEACHERS
FIND NEW DEFENDER

FORT WORTH, Dec. 1S.-Mar-
ried women teachers about to be BAN
ned from Fort Worth schools have
found defender in the Texas State
Teachers Association. The board of
education this week ruled that mar
ried women could not be employed as
teachers.
r. Il. Ellis, secretary Of the teach
ers' association, in a letter to the
board, calls this rule archaic" and
asked that the board forget it."
IF you do not know it already"
he said, "you can easily ascertain that
the best educational statesmen of the
world have long since rcpudiated the
archaic idea that the mere possession
of n husband makes a woman unde-
sirable MS a teacher"
The board should not make rules
implying a demand for celibacy on the
part of teachers, he said.
