Nobody knows how much many American tourists drop

Every effort should be made by the inhabitants of nation

agreeable for them and they should receive the warmest

Besides this going they advertise the country they

SAYINGS OF
MRS.SOLOMON

First Aids to Love

FHSb AluS 10 Love
MY Daughter, when q mans
1V1 love groweth faint and weak,
be not cast down. For, behold,
there are many First Aids"
wherewith 4 woman may revive
his dying interest, and stimulate
his lettering devotion.
And the first OF these is IN.
DIFFERENCE. For what so
stirreth a mans pulse as the
knowledge that a woman's pulse
remaineth placidly normal, when
her hand lieth In his? Yea,
verify, there is no spring tonic
for a jaded and anaemic passion
like unto little ice?
Likewise. there is COMPETI-
TON, which is the life of the
love-game. For what so stim-
ulateth romance in a mans mind
as the sight of Standing Room
Only sign upon the door OF a
woman's heart?
Moreover, a little ABSENCE is
as pulmotor upon q gasping
affection. For naught SO arouseth
a mans doubts and reyiveth his
eageFness as the knowledge that
he cannot call a dansel upon the
wire at any moment and reassure
himself that all her thoughts are
of him! Verify, what is so potent
as a feeling of insecurity for cur.
ing a mans heart of that static
condition?
And there is also VARIETY,
which is the spice of love For
what so intrigueth a mans fancy,
WHAT mood he shall tune in"
upon, when he next seeketh her.
nor whether he shall find little
bit Of Heaven, or get q little
bit of He'll?
Likewise, q little MYSTERY il
an antidote for boredom. For
naught so stirreth a man q
imagination as the tonic Of
curiosity! Go to. Where is there
a new thrill in q love-affair, after
a man hath read the last chapter
of a damsel's thoughts and learned
all the secrets of her heart and
her makeup?
And If all these fail. and love
still staggereth and fainteth, there
is always ] EALoU SY, my
Daughter.
For what so goadeth man to
the desperate point of proposing
marriage to woman. as the
secret fear that ANOTHER man
is yearning to marry her?
Yea, what so dispelleth mans
doubts of damsefs desirability
as the fact that another man
findeth her desirable?
Yet. / charge thee, be cautious
In thy ministering, and home.
opathic in thy treatment. For a
little Of anything healeth. but too
much killeth. And q dying love
requireth tender nursing and
eternal vigilance!

Councilman Samuel Sablotsky Of the sixth ward will light to the last ditch" to defeat an ordinance which would require promoters of basket ball, polo and other indoor sports to pay a fee similar to that which Is now paid by sponsors of boxing ex- hibitions, he declared today.
 Alderman David L. Nair of the first ward sponsors the proposed ordinance and he plans to have 1t before the common council at its January meeting.

AUTO BATTLE IN
 AUSTRALIA FEARED
British Firms to Fight American
 Invasion

Sydney Australia, Dec. 24. P- Three British motor car firms have united to invade what heretofore has been almost an American mono poly, the Australian and New Zea- land automobile markets.
 Economic experts are predicting a three-year WIT between automo- bile manufacturers of the United States and England.
 The American cars, which 50 far have led the field. are slowly de- clining in public favor. Import figures for the first SIX months of this year, issued by the Trade Min istry, show that automobile chassis imports from Britain went up to more than 1000. an increase of l50 per cent, while American products reached 10000, representing only C. 40 per cent rise.
 Automobile salesmen in New South Wales Victoria, South Australia and Queensland are pre- FarlnS campaign to pooot DiA'- ish cars.
