ENCOURAGING Figures

Encouraging Figures
While the seasonable talk about
eaturation, over-production and SINH
lar motor topics is at its height, 1t is
interesting to record and null over
several of the striking facts and f1g-
ures Of the times.
The National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce, for instance, estimates
that there are approximately 100000
American families that do not own au-
tomobiles..
Deducting over 100000 motor
trucks and buses, registrations of pas
senger cars has not as yet reached
100000 which would be passen-
ger car for approximately every six
people.
In other words. when there are TO-
100000 passenger cars five people out
of every six will have to walk or ride
the street railways If the owners of
these cars have other plans.
It has been estimated that only ~
families out of every 1000 own more
than one car.Viewing 1t from another
angle 1t means that some 100000 or
more families now owning cars in
America may some day be in the mar
ket for q second car. Many of them
are in the market for the second car
now.
Every time dealer sacrifices used
car in order to get rid Of it someone
who could not buy car before is en-
abled to Join the ranks. Experience has
shown that the tremendous strides of
rnotordom has been. the result of the
enthusiasm Of car owners. Every car
owner is a booster for the automobile.
Every time someone gets started using
an automobile he Is always user.
Millions of people have been at
&racted to the automobile through low
prices, exceptional values and the COM
fort of the closed car. Most of these
people are soon going to want better
cars, and the American automobile
factories will supply the demand.
A significant point is that Ford did
not have to make radical changes In
order to keep on selling cars at a rec
ord breaking rate.

Stopping Ia Secondary

Experience with four-wheel brakes
has reached a point where it is clear
that many manufacturers and advo-
Gates Of these brakes made serious
mistake in stressing stopping ability.
Too many persons got the impression
that four-wheel brakes were designed
to enable drivers to take greater
chances. But now that they know
better 1t has become evident that
stopping is a secondary matter One
typical driver lists the following adj
vantages:
Safety against skidding.
Reduced tire wear.

FEWER scHooLHoUsEs

sonce Americas pride, the "little red school
house," with its barn-like single and print
tive equipment, is slowly but surely passing. More
than $1,000 of these small district school buildings
were abandoned in the past five years, their places
being taken by the modern consolidated school.
With the rapid extension of good roads and
Unemployment of motor BUSES for the transporta-
tioa of children to these larger institutions it
seems inevitable that the one-room school, with its
many handicaps. win more and more rapidly dis
appear.
While the district school must thus give place
to new and better system, it has filled and is
sfi1 filling paramount role in the advancement
tf the nation. To the self-sacrficing labors of
faithful teachers in these rural schools many famous
and women owe their early education and in
spiration.
But the demands of progress must be met in
education, well in all other phases of our in
creasingly complex civilization The new and
Target consolidated school, with its staff of better
prepared teachers, its improved organization and
its modern equipment, will mark an advance over
the little red school house" which must make for
a more enlightened and efficient citizenship.

WrLEs OF WOMEN


Whatever one may think of the present female
habits of painting, pencing, dyeing and the like,
it must be admitted that while the effects obtained
may be to degree deceptive, there is no attempt
made to conceal the fact that artificial aids to
beauty employed.
Even the least sophisticated of men are aware
that art is brought to the aid of nature with the
utmost frankness. Whether the effects produced
really lend charm to the modern woman is largely
a matter of individual opinion.
In former times women who employed cum
ming devices to lure the male sex were sternly
frowned upon. A Massachusetts, law of 1884 for
babe the wearing of "any apparel, either woolen
ske, lynnen, with any lace on it, silver golde
silver thread" The English parliament in ITO
passed an act providing chat any woman who shall
entice into marriage any of His Majestys subjects
by means of perfume, false hair or false hips shall
be condemned as a sorceress and the marriage shall
be declared null and void"
Since those days customs have changed great
ly, but human nature has not.

AN UNUSUAL CHINAMAN

Popular notions of Chinese intelligence were
given another shock recently, when Dana Yung
Kwai was voted by the senior class at Yale its most
brilliant member" He also stood second among
"the most versatile and second among those
"most likely to succeed
While freshman he prizes in history and
chemistry; as sophomore he prizes in draw
ing, mechanics, mathematics and physics; he won
his AY" as a member of the swimming team. Be-
fore entering Yale he distinguished himself
student in Washington high school and won
medal as captain of cadet company.
Yung Kwai is the son of the counselor of the
Chinese legation at Washington, who is himself
Yale graduate.
Although the accomplishments of this gifted
young exceptional, his record proves that
there must be latent among China's millions many
bright minds capable of being trained to high eff
cheney and used with mighty effect for the adj
vancement of civilization.

Florida Is Of course the most conspicuous ex-
