 Attack Used Car Problem
 It was a revolutionary move, and there are those among the indus trys leaders who believe something equally drastic yet may come to definitely dispose of the perennial problem of the used car. Already considerable progress has been made by apportioning deliveries of new cars on the basis of old car move ments by individual dealers
 Some idea of what the assembly of two and one-half million motor cars means is shown in the fact that the 2,473,359 units produced in 1881 had a wholesale value of Sl, 426,656252 exclusive of tires, parts and accessories. Because the indus try has concentrated on volume dis tribution, the wholesale value of the output from January to July this year may be slightly less than that, but it will be very small differ ence.

In the disappearance Of adults
it is usually a question OF finding
the motive. More than half OF the
missing in New York and Paris last
year were grownupS, and on the
whole they disappeared because
of financial or domestic troubles.
NO TRACE
The New York police marked
Finish" to a spectacular case dur
ing the year, involving the disap-
pearance of a good looking woman
who had been engaged to former
officer in the Austrian army. Her
sister reported her missing, and
the investigation led across the
ocean to Austria, where the man
was found and arrested.
Trunks and other possessions OF
the lost girl came to light, but Of
herself no trace was to be found.
The police did the next best thing
under the circumstances. They ex-
tradited the man, and they have
him safely behind bars for quite
a spell as a bigamiSt.
Last month marked the twenty
fifth anniversary of case that
still remains unsolved in the arch
ives of the police. It was and re-
mains not only New York's but the
country'S most amazing disappear
ance, that of Dorothy Arnold. To
all appearances she was Snatched
from this earth from crowded Fifth
Avenue and in the light Of midday.
Her well-to-do family spent q for
tune seeking her. The police Of the
world made an unparalleled search.
All to no avail.
If she lives today she is so years
old. But her people are certain
that she does not live. The police
are, too, even though they refuse
to admit it, and they keep her
name in the list of the unsolved
cases.

On the average 80 persons dis

come from outside Of the city.
Most Of the disappearanceS are, Of

Children wander from home and
wind up in the police station.
Thousands Of adults in the course
of a year are victims Of accidents

'ago into seven words: WHAT
DOES NOT KILL M z
STRENGTHENS ME-"
Jack Black, a friend of mine
whom loved and deeply respected,
had written a book. Once Jack
had been a convict. Afterwards,
he told me the story of these ter
rible years under the title. YOU
CAN'T WIN" In. one place he
described flogging in Canadian
Jail. Ghastly! One felt the
flayed and staggering flesh &.
the nightmare agony.
Then, suddenly as a miracle,
there came an amazing revelation.
Jack Black had thoughts any
proud man must think-that that
flogging would be the end Of him.
Not the end of his physical life,
perhaps, but the end Of all the
pride and ambition that make
mans life worth living. But it
wasn't.
UNDEFEATED
Even crawling away from that
dreadful tripod-fumbling his
way with blood-glaZed eyes-he
knew that he still was unbeaten!
His flesh might be laShed to rib
bons, but his spirit was still whole!
And that knowledge had gtven
him potDer he had never before
possessed.
WHAT DOES NOT KILL ME
STRENGTHENS ME!"
Life was a brutal business. And
there was little q man might do
to lessen that brutality. Always
the lash would fall. If it were
not one lash, it would be another
sickness, poverty, loneliness,
humiliation, tragic loss-always
the lash would fall.
But for every stroke that a
man survived, he was the stronger.
For there was something in a
man that no lash could ever
reach something in a man
taller and tougher than his own
humanity. something that lifted
him above the mauling Of life
into the mystery from which all
men came.
Something that lifted a man
from the WhippinO post OF con-
uict to the golden throne of a
God? And each time q man trt-
umphed oUer the Ggong OF the
lash, he tDGS one step further on

NEW METHOD

Representative William B. Bank
head, majority leader in the House,
was once possessed with one OF the
most convincing voices yet heard
in that chamber.
His illness Of last year, however
robbed him of that weapon with
which to whip the recalcitrantS
into line on the measures favored
by the Administration.
Consequently, B a nkhea d has
adopted new tactics.
Instead Of delivering a caustlc
lecture to the misbehaviorists he
wanderS around the floor cajoling
those members who threaten to
step over the traces.
And his new method is as effec'
tive as the old one. and thus far he
has a fair record Of making his

INCENTIVE


Pitted against the Appropria-
tionS subcommittee which rewriteS
the War Department supply bill,
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee recently emerged victorious
in its efforts to add numerous
items to the half-billion-money
measure.
It was a strange situation when
the legislative committee fought
the money committee.
Representative Tilman B. Parks,
chairman Of the Appropriations
subcommittee, vainly attempted to
repulse the efforts of Representa-
tive John j. McSwain, chairman
Of the Military Affairs Committee,
and his cohorts in their drive to
add more money to the Army bill.
Probably the most bitter fight
was that which occurred when
McSwain successfully waged a
campaign to add $1,884,812 to the
bill in order to give 1000 r. o. T. c.
officers one year of training IN
the Regular Army and to permit
so such officers to be taken in the
service without going through
West Point.
Even those men in the House
who are opposed to enlargement
of the Army voted for the Nc
Swain amendment. They con-
tended that it was a cheap way to
secure officers and that it would
take some of the "conceit" from
the West Point crowd.
A survey of the Air Corps would
illustrate to these men that the
"conceit" of the west Point gradu-

Wanted Snow Removal


The inconvenience and discomfort to which Wash
ngtOnans have been subjected during recent weeks as
q result Of the snow are nothing new.
we have been enduring this particular form of trouble
for many years.
At least once every winter heavy snow falls the
city; and usually three four times each winter
subjected to the familiar sheet of ice.
BUT, JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE PUT UP WITH
THIS CONDITION FOR YEARS, rs NO REASON
WHY WE SHOULD ACCEPT THE TROUBLES IN
DEFINITELY.
Nobody can prevent the from falling or the ice
from forming.
Somewhere in the city government however there
should be someone who could take effective steps to
mitigate the results Of the snow and ice.
Why can't our city authorities and behind them
the COngresS-cOme to realization of the fact
that snOW IUiH continue to fall in coming WiRters
and that it is up TO the community to make plans
NOw to eliminate the troubles Ulich it causes?
THE CONDITION OF WASHINGTON STREETS
DURING THE LAST WEEK OR TWO HAS BEEN
DISGRACEFUL.
The puny efforts to remove the snow were joke.
Snow was piled into the cutters by the pows of
the city and the transit company.
It there roze solid and no further effort was made to
remove it.
Consequently when the thaw came over last weekend
and the heavy rain, the streets became ponds.
The cutters and sewers were unable to function prop
erly.
Why should we let the snow lie to cause this in
evitable result?
We are told that between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars were spent on snow removal.
If that money spent efficiently during the last
snowfall then it will cost whole lot money to do
good job
But the expenditure would certainly be worth it.

ERAL COMFORT, AND THE PROPER CARRYING
ON OF THE ORDINARY BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF
