new MARK SET
BY NASH 400
Increase of 52.95 Percent
Made Over Correspond
ing 1928 Period

KENOSHA, Wis, April 20.-When
final reports were received by Nash
sales department officials from
marketing centers in the United
States, it was found today that
Nash 400" series car sales in the
ten highest sales points during the
week ending March 80 were great
err than those in any previous week
On the records Of the Nash Motors
company.
The total number of 400" cars
bought in these ten motoring cen-
tiers rolled up an increase Of 52.95
per cent over the sales made at
the same points in the correspond
ing week Of 1928.
This significant buying record
for Nash was not limited alone to
the ten metropolitan markets where
sales were largest and which are
considered an American merchan-
dising barometer. A further check
revealed that the sales Of these in
creasingly popular cars in all dis
tributing centers during the clos
ing week in March equa1ed the
peak figures Of the first week In
July last year, when the Nash
400" demand had reached It's
height following announcement
and nationwide introduction OF
the new type cars.

are particularly interested in Phil
ippine independence as a matter of
justice to the -Filipinos. Probably
a good many think that the islands
should lever have been taken, but
having been taken, may as well be
held until the people best qualified
to judge say the Filipinos are ready
to be turned loose.
But if the idea gets about that
Philippine freedom means better
prices for u farm products, I
would not be surprised to see a
general demand that the islands
be presented with their independ-
ence forthwith. and be deposited
gently but firmly outside our tariff
walls.
1t is interesting to know, too,
that that solution Of the problem
IS one that would probably be well
coined by the great majority of the
Flllpinos themselves.

are able to apply it. But even If
this were done, we presently finu
ourselves up against a serious and
very pubbling problem: What about
imports from Porto Rico and the
Philippines?
Here are two island possessions
which are a part Of our domain,
which are inside I'LL national tariff
wall, and therefore are not at all
affected when we put up a tariff
barrier to the imports of foreign
farm products.
There is not SO much of a prob
lem over Porto Rico, to be sure.
It's sales to us are comparatively
small, and can be absorbed. But
the Philippines are a horse Of quite
another color.
sWe buy from the islands a large
quantity Of raw sugar, and r on
the way to buy more if Cuban
sugar should increase in price. We
buy, besides, a great deal Of cocoa
nut oil and copra, which is dried
cocoanut. We buy hemp. We buy
tobacco. We buy other tropical
products in smaller lots.
And every pound of this stuff,
excepting what cocoanut oil goes
into soaps, completes directly with
the products of United States
farms. Our best sugar, our cane
sugar, our linseed oil, peanut oil,
cottonseed oil, lard, and all the
other fats, including butter, all
find their market cut into by these
imports from the Philippines.

There really are goodly num-
ber Of women who find Gishwash-
ing pleasant. Mostly, it's true, be-
cause they find pleasure in making
dirty things clean and sparkling.
Here is the formula of those of
US who look on the brighter side
of dishwashing.
Clean as YOU cook. or wash as
you go. Step by step in preparing
the meal. wash the dishes that are
being used, Leave the kitchen
clean and tidy when you go to the
meal. 1t will make a big differ
enee in your state of mind when
you come out to wash the dishes.
Don't fill the sink with pots and
pans. Leave these last ones soak.
ing filled with luke.warm water
On the range. Then the sink
will be nice and empty when you
begin.
Get a large tray if You haven't
d service wagon and clear the ta-
bic with one trip to the dining
room.
And do buy yourself one of those
broad, rubber plate scrapers.
Scrape every dish off with this and
stack the dishes in an orderly
array, which means in the order of
washing or Stacking in the dish
washer. The Jobs half done then.
Right here good word should be
said for the new garbage cans,
those in which the cover lifts with
a foot pedal; in some the container
comes up even higher so there's
no STOPPING and you can use both
hands. We use paper bags in ours,
and there's no messy garbage can.
The little under-the.sink-s -strainer-
cans are handiest for plate scrap
in.
Use plenty of soap If you wash
by hand and little water softener
IL the water Is very hard. If you
use a dishwasher, reverse the pre-
cess and use a little soap and
plenty of water softener, adding
one tetspoonful' of soap flakes and
the water softener first. We use
three to four tablespoonfuls Of
water softener. In the machine
you need a fine suds that will
spray easily Many manufactur.
ers make dishwashing powder
sor this very reason.
Nothing makes dishwashing SO
easant as good suds, so the
ing to do is to keep a good suds
atil the dishes are done. If you
yash by hand, change the water
md start fresh when it gets to the
point where the suds go down
at least add more soap. Never let

the jewel of consistency in his
attitude?
"As | understand his letter, he
has not spoken TO her seriously OF
loye, nor do CLEAN that he
strayed so far from his cautious
way as to make her definite
offer of marriage. Then Why
should Pretty Girl be other than
platonic?
Like a great many young men
of today, 'Twenty-three' likes the
keeping company period in which
a gal Is all his, Lut he is in no
way bound: Why should Pretty
Girl reveal her love before he has
seriously declared his or made a
definite proposal? If she did. he
would doubtless be writing you.
asking you to lind him an old
fashioned girl who did not pet
before she became engaged. He
says he took her. out a few times.
Is that the way to prove devotion?
Il have never known a girl
who did not think seriously about
love and marriage. They all do
Girls and young men can't Sat
away from such thoughts, and
that's the way the world pro-
crosses. 'Twenty-three' has known
this girl, according to his letter,
about two years and has never de-
clared his love and proposed mar
riage. Yet he says he hates pla.
tonic friendship.
"Who is really at fault? Which
of the two is inconsistent? l am
sorry for Very Pretty Girl. and
must confess that in this instance
she has all my sympathy. II l.
were 'Twenty-three' | would snap
out of it and propose to Very
Pretty Girl before two hearts are
broken through complications.
After their quarrel he treated
her coldly and tried to show her
that she meant nothing to him
How noble! She, being more gem
erous. called truce by sending
him a card. Does he forgive her?
Not he! Dignity must be upheld
at the cost Of love! What a price!
Is it possible that the only love
'Twenty-three' is capable Of. Is
self fIeve?"
Well. my dear, you have made
out quite a case against Twenty
three" am not sure but that
the greater part of your indiet-
ment against him Is deserved. 1t
is quite true that many modern
young men demand exclusive right
to a girls time and attention
and the privilege of petting her,
without assuming any respon.
sibility whatsoever. The girl is
expected to sacrifice other atten-
tions and friendships, which
might prove serious, in return
for what? The privilege of the
attention without intentions of
, one young man!
In other days, parents would
step in at this point and ask
courteously of the young man
attempting to monopolize their
daughter. What are your inten-
tions?n
The modern girl is obliged to
protect herself. But today you
will find that girls who are wise,
girls who are particular, do not
grant a, monopoly on their atten.
tons and time or the privilege
of petting to a young man who
has not revealed his serious in.
tentions and earned love. Mice"
girls are stiIl a bit hard to win,
as ''Twenty.three" has discovered.
But let us not be too indig-
nant with "Twenty.three." Human
beings are not always consistent.
If .sTwenty-three'' were 100 per
cent logical in his courtship and
marriage, he would probably be
very unhappy with the girl Of his
choice. for women are not noted
for their consistency.
