The races were preceded by
a luncheon at the home Of
H. w. Cane, wealthy sports
man owner Of the track.
Many old New York families,
such as the Harrimans, are
ardent followers Of the trot-
ters.
There has always been a
distinctive glamour around
this old fashioned style of
racing. Once there was a
great white trOttinr horse
which raced with only big
dog in the sulky - and
usually came in first. The
element of gambling which
has taken over running races,
has always been secondary to
the art of good Craftsmanship
and a deep glow Of sentiment
in trotting races.

COLOR FACTOR
IMPORTANT IN
FURNISHINGS

Haven It you often been in 4
home where, when the doors TO the
dining rom were opened a glorious
vista of color and scenic arrange
ment brought "oh-s' and "ah-s -
from every guest. And that didn It
necessarily mean that your hostess
was one of the fortunate wealthy
as q matter of fact you might
have wondered chow she did it -
And conversely, haven't you
at times visited in the homes Of
people quite Well-to-do where The
completely unattractive table and
crude service took all the zest from
the meal, tastily prepared though
it may have been.
Artistry in setting i beautiful
table and serving q rhapsody of a
meal is to be enjoyed by the many
rather than the few. 1t relief IN

velcped sense of color and balance.
Consider, j!or instance, the fool

juice, then to shrimps with ketch-
up and ending up with raspberry
Jello. Everything on the menu red,
and clashing with the table linen,
and even so every course the same
color, a hot cclor for summer
meals, How simply and inexpens-
lively this elementarily simple meal
might have proved if a pale green
set of table linens were used; to-
mato juice served with a sprig Of

the shrimps served with mayon-
naise with chopped parsley; and a

ROGERS TI50N
LEASED WITH
CAR OU Il LOOK

Sales of Dodge and Plymouth
cars, two Of the most popular mod
els in lighter automobiles. have
been showing decided improvement
according to Rogers and Tison, 10
cal agents for these two cars, who
took them over several months ago
after long years Of experience in
ceiling other makes.
1T is only natural that this
ehCuld be so states Les Rogers
for people have not been purchas
ing cars as they used to five or
six years ago. Then if a man drove
a car two years he was more or less
conscious of it and bought a new
one as soon as possible.
But the economic stringency
made this impossible in many cases
during the past five years and many
cars have oaen driven three, four,
five years and in a few cases even
longer. Others have not had cars
and improved conditions have made
it possible fer them to think about
doing SO.
"Thcse who have been driving old
models or vino have beea1 without
q car, will be surprised when they
try the modern ones, for the auto
motive industry has made vast
strides in the past five years. Dodge
and Plymouth have kept abreast Of
the improvement and the new mod
els offer the latest features to make
driving safe. easy, and economical.
Great attention has been paid
to the comfort of driver and pas
sengers, by the designers of cars,
something that was more or less
overlooked in the old days.
Irrespective car purchasers will
be surprised not only at mechanical
improvements and more comfort

prices are still low. The medium

FALL OPENING
IDEA PRAISED
BY ROBERTSON

Business is still good and is gra-
dually getting better, according to
j. r. Robertson, valley distributor
for Bucks, Oldsmobiles and Pom
tiacs.
when I say that BUSINESS is 60
ing TO get better 1 am not just talk
ing to hear myself talk" Robertson
said. Our firm is living up to it
by preparing to move into new ana
larger quarters.
1--WE expect 10 oe in our new loca-
ton at Seventh and Main street,
in the old Barbara Worth garage,
by October 20, and will have more
space for the display of new models
in all cur lines and for our parts
and repair departments.
I'm addition to this we have also
recently enlarged our used car de
partment at 654 Main street, where
we carry a full line Of cars of all
makes, which are sold with the
same careful attention TO the Gus
toner's welfare that we extend in
our new car sales.
I'VE believe the Fall Opening pro
gram is a splendid thing for slim
ulating business and all Ell Centro
should cooperate in it. 1t is the
beginning of a new business year
and there is every indication that
the result of the fall, winter and
spring will show a higher business
average than the same period in
recent years has.
Our sales of new and used cars
have been highly satisfactory and
we are preparing now for the ad-
vance in business that we are sure
will cCne.'
