LAS to the notably low prices fol

that the farm boards report to

Buick Man Tells
OF Motor Trip
On Vacation

Winter is here and the urge to
go somewhere is just as strong as in
midsummer. There are fewer places
to go, to be sure, but those places
have added charm with the leaves
gone from the trees and snow on
the ground.
Automobile travel does not cease
with the coming of cold weather
here in the West. In fact, We use
our cars Just about as much in the
winter as we do in the summer. The
country here is big. The distances
between cities is greater and motor
transportation is, therefore more
necessary than anywhere else in the
nation.
There is a tang in the air in the
winter that makes driving just that
much more fun" commented II. E
Loomis, Pacific regional manager OF
the Buick Motor company, recently
Mr.. Loomis just returned from a
long tour in his Buick and enjoyed
his trip immensely.
THE roads of the West lend
themselves to winter traffic. Sta.e
highway commissions and county
road engineers are keeping the
roads in shape for winter travel
The roads are cleared of snow as
soopv as storms end. Where slides
occur after heavy rains, crews are
put to work immediately and the
roads cleared in surprisingly short
time Strategic locations of roac
machinery makes this possible. This
machinery is spotted Throughout
the mountain regions SO that it i:
available at moments notice. A.
soon as word comes that slide ha!
occurred, the power shovel is hooked
! behind truck and is on its way u
the slide. Huge slides can be re-
moved rapidly with this sort o.
equipment.
Gasoline taxes collected in thu
states of the nation are being usee
to build more and better roads. II
years past, roads were allowed Il
meander all over the contour lines
That is no longer permissible. TIL,
contours are cut to make the roat
with the least possible grade. Bridge!
span great canyons, where in thu
old days the road followed the hill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Busi-
ness enters the New Year with a
clearer understanding of the pres
ent difficulties and to that extent
is in better position to overcome
some of the obstacles which stand
in the way of recovery, says Frank
Greene in his November review in
Nations Business, published by the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
The business community, he says,
is convinced that improvement can
be brought about only through hard
work. Less time. he adds, is likely
to be wasted in the coming months
on making predictions and waiting
on miracles to cure the situation.
"One of the anomalies of present
worldwide efforts to regulate prices
of commodities, especially raw ma
terials," he writes, sis that. after q
full year or more of such attempted
regulation, the general level OF
prices as indicated by index num-
bers is the lowest in at least five
years. For the fourteenth month
in succession the general level of
wholesale prices in this country has
fallen. And still there is a good
deal of agreement that final costs
that is retail prices, have no. come
down as have wholesale quotations
"Most progress in this direction
seems to have been made in food
products. In these lines lead.
ing retail purvey0r's reports point
! to large increases in tonnage Of
foods sold as compared with small
| or no gains in value. November
sales at retail as a whole, how
ever, fail to reveal decreases equal
in percentage to those recorded
! in wholesale lines.
1T may perhaps be asked wheth
er sell more rather than buy more
! would not be a better slogan. if the
readjustment conceded to be nec'
essary is to be achieved. This seem;
a fair question if prices are to bs
made at which goods will force theil
way into consumption. II this l.
conceded, there would seem to be
an especially wide field for I'M
provment in the building trades

materials are cheaper but where Ia
Dor costs have fallen but slightly

, November Trade
i ITO get down to the practicalities
of November trade, it might be
noted first that it was a shor1
month. Further, wholesale and re-
tail trade sagged off somewhat ane

sermon, Sunday, in all the CHI urches
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
The Golden Text is from Isaiah IL:
q. Behold. God is my salvation(f

ton from the Ninety-third Psal IN,

the mighty waves of the sea-"
Among the Scripture selecti ons
in the Lesson sermon are OF her
words of the Psalmist, God l'lath
spoken once; twice have I he card
this; that power belongeth unto
God;" and the words of the RI evcl-
ator, And I heard as it were the
voice of a great multitude, and as
the voice of many waters, an d as
the voice of the mighty thutnder-
ings. saying. Alleluia; for thee Lord
God omnipotent reigneth."
A correlative passage fror.n the
Christian Science textbook, YScience
and Health with Key to thle Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, states:
There is no power apart + rom God.
Omnipotent has all-poweir, and TO
acknowledge any other power is to

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: If one is calling on q
friend who is visiting lady one
does not know, should one leave
cards on the hostess as well as or'
the friend?
Answer: This depends on the cir
cumstances. If the hostess is pro-
minent socially and ii one is un-
known, it is better taste not to leave
card for her since it might be
regarded as an attempt TO be placed
on her list. However. if the person
calling is the prominent one, it is
polite to leave the card on the host
ess, but should not be done 'unles:
one wishes to include her on ones
list.

Your Health
and Diet
By DIR. Logan Clendening

If tennis is the game par
excellence for the young, golf
is the best game for the middle
aged and elderly. It's pace is
suited to the shady side of life.
It's problems need not be de-
cided suddenly. and they are
just sufficiently complicated to
possess the mind without
fatiguing it. 1t allows for
pleasant companionship and
mild rivalry, which lends itself
to few jokes.
Golf puts no unusual strain
upon the heart. but in the
course of a round of 18 holes
there is as much energy ex-
pended as in playing two sets
of tennis. But it is accom-
plished SO gradually that no
unusual fatigue is felt.
They Take a Chance
It is true that we frequently
hear of men dying on the golf
links. And they are often
warned off from playing on
account of a rise in blood pres
sure or some such other reason.
This, of course, is an individual
matter for every person to de-
eide, but most men l know
would rather chance dying while
playing golf than condemn
themselves to a life of inactivity
and listleSs waiting for death.
AS one such man said to me
once, L have always had GER
tain things and enjoyed them.
suppose that if I gave up to-
oacco and golf and meat and
salt I might live five, or even
10 years longer. But it would
not be a life worth living"
For those over SIS. in four
some is the best way to play
golf. You get a chance to sit
down and rest on the tee while
the others are driving, and the
progress along the fairway is
kept from being to rapid by
waiting for the others to play.
Young Folks Excel
OF course. in all this talk
about old age. I realize that
young people play the game bet
ter than the middle-aged or
elderly. But that is because it
is easier for them to train their
eyes and muscle coordination.
Catch them young" applies to
any sport, because the cerebel-
lar pathways can be trained so
that the rhythm necessary for
swinging and hitting can be
developed. One of the interest
ing things about the nervous
system is that. once laid down,
those pathways of impulses re-
main forever. If you learned
to ride a bicycle when you
were young. you can stay off
for 30 years and then casually
mount one and ride off.

Maybe it would come out right

of marriage that she wanted.
No stree!
If she were going to get mar
ried, she wanted something out
of it. Something more than
she had now. No fun living in
poverty, working for a living,
Shaving. when you didn't need

life. Dennis had provided as
we'll as he could. They always
had had money to live on, a
nice apartment, fairly decent
clothes, even if mother had to
scrimp for them, and make
them herself. You can't have
this. You can't have that. We
can't afford it.
What's the Use
Babe had left school a year
before. She would have been

was there in staying? What
