OF course it isn't serious. Just one
of those dumb performances that oc-
casionally finds its place in the best
regulated business organizations. The
Haynes Automobile Company of Ko-
komO, Indiana, issues Bargain Bulle-
tin of Service Parts. So the Smart
Alec Snles Manager afflicted with n
paucity Of advertising language makes
this appeal in one part:
"Oh, please, Haynes owner, do
not cuss and make such an ever
lasting fuss because your starters
on the blink Just go and throw
it in the drink, or sell it to
some wandering Jew for junk"
In the event that the Haynes Automo-
bile Company feels itself in need of
self-respecting sales-talk it can com

Captain Dreyfus in the Magazine Sec

name of Bernard Lazare mentioned as
one of the principal defenders of Drey-
fus at the time Of his famous trial. If
he is the same Lazare who wrote the
History of Anti-Semitism" l cannot
quite reconcile, what seems to me, to be
his prejudiced attitude toward the Jews
with his defense of Jew. There is n
peculiar satisfaction, hard to define, in
the knowledge that Dreyfus has fol
years beeen living quietly and unob

quIre competenee,and then he has to
fight twice as hard to keep it. The
disposing of it is never ending prob
lem. Many men successful financially
wonder whether it is really worth

that can rank as even nearly great,
gives such abundant satisfaction TO
the doer as to make him wealthy with

1t keeps right up. l mean the auto
production. The first six months
production of the current year was
2,447,255 cars compared with $780,
05O in a corresponding period last
year. There is constantly recurring
question, never, so far as know, sat
isfactorily answered.: "Where do the
people get the money to pay for them,
not only TO pay for them, but for their
upkeep." A symptom, that apparent
ly shows a more conservative frame
of mind is that although building op-
erations in the United States exceed
ed two billion, two hundred million
dollars for the first six months, there
was decrease of more than one per
cent, compared with similar period
last year. Keep that thought in mind
while you recall that 16 cents out of
every dollar of income goes to pay the
cost of government, national, state,
county and city. This means an av-
erage cost of about $4,000 per fam
lily. 1t may be that the old car will
do for another year. The difference
of cash in your hand will likely pay
all your taxes for flle year. 1t will
indirectly increase the building pro-
gram, and will definitely make you
more substantial, which is comfort
