Studebaker Roadster

The celebrated robin. long the sc-
cepted harbinger Of Spring, has lost
his Importance in South Bend, Ind,
where Studebaker automobiles are
made. In this Hoosier city, the speed
ing up Of the S~tudebaker sport road
ster assembly line is interpreted as
a true token of Springs approach.
This spring has brought a great
dealer demand-which Of course re-
fleets the owner demand-for the
Commander sport roadster. the model
which travelled $4,000 miles in less
than $4,000 minutes at Atlantic City
speedway last fall. This Is the car
which won for Studebaker the high
est speed and endurance records for
fully equipped stock ears, regardless
Of power or price. The public's de-
sire to own the car that boasts so
brilliant a series Of records, has
made Commander roadster sales
more active han was anticipated. u
is said. however, that Dictator n
Erskine sport rosdsters, built by the
same engineers who designed the
Commander, are also unusually popu-
lar.

American manufacturers produced

sedan has become tho "most prac-

parts or the United States, there Is
still a great demand for the dashing

families have two cars, one sedan
and one sport roadster. And the
youth Of America finds the sport

French Ideas Of America
flames G.. Young in Personality

(James C. Young in Personality
The doughboy had somewhat vague ideas
about French history and institutions, but the
Frenchman's comprehension of America was
no better. The middle class French mind
thinks of America as place where cowboys
and Indians shoot at one another or spend
their time dancing in circle. We may blame
the movies. That mind also knows most of
our cinema heroes and heroines. 1t is one of
the odd aspects Of French life that civiliza-
ton so old should find much Of it's amusement
from our very young and raw motion pictures.
The Frenchman also recalls George Wash
ington. He was the man that Lafayette went
to help. But the number of Frenchmen who
have been in America or have any contact with
American thought is slight, indeed, so slight
that it does not enlighten the mass mind
American books are not commonly trans
lated into French, the American press is little
read, the tourist is looked upon as queer be-
ing, as if he might have come from Mars. When
the French author puts an American in his
book or dramatist introduces him on the
stage he is often the Brother Jonathan type,
thrown in for comedy relief" and he may &C.
tually wear chin whiskers and carry carpet
bag. Or he is a loud, vulgar tourist asking
foolish questions.

President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State
got here yesterday. What guest could be more
welcome to the majority of the American peo-
pie? At last they have seen the long period Of
struggle and disaster ended. In the teeth of
many obstacles the major part of Ireland is a
self-govern;ng Commonwealth upon the con-
tinuance of whose security and order and
economic soundness depends the realization
hereafter of a united Ireland. It is time for
the well-wishers of Ireland of whatever stock
to drop old, unhappy, far-off things-ancient
rancors. A new Ireland with new responsible.
tiles, hopes and duties has been created and
maintained May it continue to be governed
wisely and successfully!
Were it not praise to the face" we could
say much of Mr.. Cosgrave, the modest bust
ness man who has proved equal to the highest
post in the State and, in spite of lean years
and many setbacks and narrow or no major
ity, with the aid Of his able and mostly young
associates, can look back to an achievement as
difficult and brilliant as that of any contem-
porary statesman of Europe. Presumably he
will give his American friends an account Of
his stewardship, expound the Constitution
and Government of the Free State and its rela-
ton to other members of the British Common
wealth.
It is curious to notice that some "all too
Irish humorists in Boston have greeted him
as "a despot." When he goes to Washington
he can tell Mr.. Coolidge he is another Mean
while, perfervid temperaments' that are get
ting incandescent because Mr.. De Valera's, like
the despot's, heel is on our shore, might well
