FAMILY FINANCE

Yes, we have an automobile, all but
seven hundred dollars,
And we have new piano, at dol
lar ten week,
And our clothes we buy on pay
ments, all our dresses, even collars,
For we haven't any money, ready
money, so to speak.
All our rugs are oriental-really
wear is what they're made for,
That's the reason that we bought
them, for they last so many years,
And we really wanted something
that would last until it's paid for,
For so often it's the carpet, not the
debt, that disappears.
Yes, we're buying on installments
every week we make a payment,
Here and there and over yonder, and
at every sort of store;
That's the way we get our fixings
that's the way we buy our raimant,
For we haven't any money, ready
money, any more.
Mother told US when we started tx
know where our money went to,
But an even smarter method mar
ried people now have learned;
We have done a whole lot bette
than we really meant to,
Know where all our moneys gon'
to now before it's even earned.
There's dollar on the washer ant
dollar on the dresses,
And flyer on the bedstead, and tel
dollars on the car,
| Oh, we look like we had money, ant
the public never gueses,
Though we look so fine and dandy
just how nearly broke we are.
But our hearts are never troubled
and to pay we never hurry,
! On the washer, and the auto, and o.
other things like that;
If we cannot meet the payments o
the minute, we should worry
We can skip the town tomorrow, TO
we're living in a fiat.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY

did it ever occur to you that mans
life is full of crosses and temptations ?
He comes into the world without his
consent, goes out against his will and
the trip is exceedingly rocky.
The rule of the contraries is the fea-
ture of this trip. When he is little,
the big girls kiss him; when he is big,
the little girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is bad manager.
If he is rich he is dishonest. If he
needs credit, he can't get it. If he is
prosperous, everybody wants to do him
favor.
If he is in politics, it is for graft.
If he is out of politics, he is no good
to the country. If he does not give
to charity, he is stingy cuss; if he
does it is for show.
If he is actively religious, he is a

sTo secure freer competition,
sounds brave. 1t viii attract the un-

sweatshop conditions and prison con-
tract labor.
If this is incorrect, who will de-
eide where the dividing line shall be
drawn?
Organized labor demands recogni-

it is a barrier to conditions that de.

The government never avoids ia,

do otherwise, as durability and an ar.

But when labor is involved, the

The government, instead of encour.
aging the highest wage that will serve
as a model for private employers

Government officials are not to be
blamed for this position. They but

Only on this assumption can the para

Washington, d. c. I. l.. N. ST.
Plans for the conduct of the inquiry
of the Federal Trade Commission into
merchandising through chain stores is
in the course of preparation, the COM
mission announced recently in its
monthly report of progress of various
Investigations and court proceedings
The inquiry was instituted in COM
pliance with a Senate resolution, ap-
proved May 3, 1923.
Primarily, retail chains will be
studied, but along with them will be
an investigation of those chains In
manufacturing and wholesaling. This
is to ascertain whether there is any
violation of the antitrust laws and
what legislation, if any, should be en-.
acted to regulate their operations, the
commission says.

Combined with the Super-Six principle
this new invention makes Hudson the
most powerful and economical car per
pound weight in the world.
The extraordinary speed of Hudson GET
away Is bat single expression Of the
brilliant activity Of the New Hudson
Supcr-Six. which is carried on to every
phase Of performance. You bce it in the
rapidity with which it rolls into high
speed; the effortless ease with which it
sustains fast going; the long, reliable
service through which it maintains its
smooth and brilliant performance.
A single ride will explain why this has
been the most enthusiastically accepted
Hudson ever built.

Super-Sixes of previous issue, can have
no conception of the supcrlativc Jfrrtsr
and quality expressed, both mechani-
cally and in body beauty, of the great
Hudsons Of today.
The almost universal trend to the high
compression motor only serves to enPhA-
size the exclusive method, advantages
and results achieved by the Hudson
Super-Six in this development.
While conventional types depend upon
special, costlier fuels to minimize rough
ness, the Hudson design uses any gaso-
line, delivering the extra power with
the elastic smoothness and torque of

NEW YORK, Mar. 5.-The speed
war between Great Britain and the
United States has come TO an armis-
tice with the garlands of victory be-
decking the banners Of John Bull
but Uncle Sam isn't definitely licked.
not by a long shot.
While England awaits the return
in triumph Of Capt. Malcolm Camp
bell, the veteran race pilot, who
drove his British Bird at Daytonia
Beach to a new worlds record with
q speed Of over 207 miles an hour,
his two American rivals, Frank Lock-
hart and j.. NJ. White. are said to
be planning another try.
He broke the sped record al
ready held by the British and set
last year by Major Segraye.
Lockhart's Stutz Black Hawk was
torn up, but not badly, and Ne was
nearly drowned when it plunged off
the sands into the sea at Daytonia
Beach. The young American was GO
ing at the rate of 225 miles an hour
at the time and IL was almost GER
tain that he would have set a new
record. And he's not through yet.
Whites Triplex car. driven by Ray
Keech, made an unofficial average
speed of nearly 204 miles al hour
in the trials and he has been ex-
pected 10 send his mount once more
into the competition after such a
good showing.
Meanwhile. Captain Campbell's
prize Of 1000 pounds a year for
three years. given by Sir Charles
Wakefield. British oil man, hangs in
the balance for the prize can be
taken away from the winner by any
one lettering his record in a short
lapse of time.
The fast-traveling Scotsman, Camp
bell. is famous on European racing
ovals though he was hardly known
over here until he burned up the
sands at Daytona Beach. He is the
senior driver Of the British tracks
and holds $50 cups.
Campbell won his first trophy in
1905. He tried building airplanes in
1909 and when war broke out enter
ed the Royal Air Force. In recent
years he has been plotting French
Bugatti ears 10 win after win.
In the fall of 1927 Campbell won
the international Grand Prix and
20O-mile classic at Brooklands speed
way. This year he expects to COM
pete in the major British and French
races.
Campbell has a business interest in
shipping, and finances his race track
efforts out of that source Of in
come.
A fine sportsman they call this
king If the roaring roads
but he'll have to look out-for Uncle
Sam still fosters ambitions to top
the world once more in speed.
