Streamlining Pop
lIular, Says Exec.
Seattle Ford Branch Manager Says
Sales Far In Advance OF
Last Years Record.

No longer is streanlining and the
ultimate in transportation comfort
confined to the luxury cost brack-
cts. Now they have been brought by
art and science within the means of
practically everyone.
Today, in the lowest price auto
mobile field, the Ford V-8 repre-
sents a new high in comfort and
streanlined styling. It is largely to
this that H. H. Wilcox, Seattle
branch manager of the Ford Motor
Company, attributes the fact that
Ford. sales are far in advance OF
expectations and now exceed rec
ords of the same period last year.
.StreamIining has caught the
public's eye" the executive said,
and the art of the nations leading
designers has been concentrated on
interpreting modern design for var
ious types of transportation equip
ment. The same basic idea, which
is to be found in the smooth, bow
inc lines of the new Ford va, is to
be seen in the trend toward stream
lining that is at present sweeping
the entire nation"
land the art of the nations leading
1t was further pointed out that
Ford V-8 streamlined design is not
confined to the deluxe models. The
same streamlined design, same body
size, same standard Of comfort and
safety, are available in the thrifty
60 horsepower Ford V-8. Stream
lining and greater economy were
given as the chief reasons for the
enthusiastic public response to the
lighter engine size introduced for
1897.

SENIORS DO "A SNEAK

Thirteen Seniors and their class
adviser, Mr.. Austin, went to Kenne-

arrived in Kennewick about eleven
O'Clock. Some of us went to the
high school and went through it,
also visiting our former teacher,
Miss Burkett, at the same time. 1t
was the day before school was out
and, sitting amid the confusion,
were few unlucky members doing
bookkeeping This Immediately a.

us are in the same boat.
We also got acquainted with the
Public Address System. I really
think our English Nv teacher could
use this very easily in keeping track

Going in various cars, we visited
different parks, ending up at SAGA

peared on the scene and kept us oc-
cupied for the time being. SAGA

is situated at the junction OF the
Snake and Columbia rivers. The
boys were challenged to a game of
soft-ball with the Columbia High
boys, but were too sleepy and full to
play.
Then, arriving in Pasco, where
some of the Seniors did some shop

ACCIDENT PREVENTION CON-
FERENCE FINDS SPEED PRE-
PONDERANT CAUSE FOR AC-
CIDENTS CAUTIONS MOT
1 ORISTS AS TO NIGHT SPEED.

The Accident Prevention Confer
ence was convened by Secretary
Roper at the request Of President
Roosevelt 1t studies land sea and
air accidents and recommends rem
edies for them. There were 35,57g
motor car fatalities in the United
States during 1886. Other accident
al deaths in the nation during the
year were: In homes, $4,000; in in
dustry, 1880; drowned while swim
ming, $500; miscellaneous, p,500;
in the air, 81. and at sea (passen-
gers on American vessels) none.
A majority of the above mention
ed fatalities in 1896 occurred in ru-
raj sections. The outstanding cause
of these deaths was high speed.
Coupled with this was inadequate
lighting. Road surface conditions
played only a minor part. In some
sections, liquor was factor, but
it is only fair to state that there is
no evidence of drunken driving be-
ing on the increase.
What is happening is that cars
are being driven at night in rural
sections too fast for lighting condl-
tions. The average car today IS
capable of making speed of from
10 to 100 miles an hour, and speeds
of from 60 to 80 miles an hour are
not uncommon in rural night driv-
ing. At so miles an hour. the stop
ping distance is 243 feet. AT 6O
miles an hour (not an unusual speed
in rural night driving) the stopping
distance is 343 feet. OF course, the
danger of driving at these high
rates of speed is greatly increased
where there are curves or hills.

visitors reminded him of the Colos-
sian household ,of faith One of
them was Onesimus, a slave of Phil
emon, who had run away to Rome
after robbing his master. and be-
came Paul's devoted servant. 1t
was he who inspired the briefest
of the apostles letters, the charm
ing note to Philemon. The other Wis
itor was Epaphras who came to
Rome evidently for the express pur-
pose of discussing with Paul the
spread at Colossae of certain strange
ianity. 1t was to combat these here
tical doctrines, and to support the
authority and gospel of Epaphras
that the apostle wrote his Colossian
letter.
While a large part of paul's argu-
ment in Colossians is difficult. even
unintelligible, there is much of prac-
teal value. In the eloquent passage
chosen for our lesson the apostle ad-
vocates union with the risen, glori-
fled Christ, stresses the moral re-
suits of such a union, and insists
that evil habits must give way to a
new nature that enshrines love, "the

During Paul's first Imprisonment
in Rome, which lasted two years, he
wrote four of his letters, Philip

Ephesians. Our lesson text is taken
from the second of these. an epistle

hundred miles to the east of Eph-

Paul never visited Colossae, but
during his %sojourn of three years at
Ephesus one of his assistants. Epa-

mission there. Moreover the apostle
formed a warm friendship with

Armistice DaY

Nineteen years ago, on November IL, 1918, the
whole world was filled with rejoicing. The war
was over. An Armistice had been agreed upon be-
tween the Allied and Associated Armies and those
of the Central European powers. Four years of
bloody warfare. the most tragic and deadly in the
worlds history, had come to an end.
More than eight and one-half million young
men were killed in that great conflict. The Central
Powers. Germany, Austria-Hungary Bulgaria and
Turkey. sacrificed three and a third million youths
on the altar of war. The Allies. France, England,
Russia, Italy, Japan. Roumania. Serbia. Belgium,
Greece, Portugal and Montenegro, lost more than
five million of their young manhood. The United
States roster of soldiers killed ran TO $4,000; Ger
many's losses were the largest. 1,77S, 700 killed or
died of wounds or disease; Russia's were next in
number. 100000.
Add TO the number killed the tremendous num-
Der of wounded, of men reported missing whose
fate has never been certin, and there is a total of
more than thirty-seven million of vigorous youth
whose lives were lost or their physical bodies injur-
ed in that terrible four years of war. 1t is any won
der that among those who went through it there is
a burning zeal for peace?
And yet today, only nineteen years later, we
see the spectacle of a world again either at war or
on the verge of war. We talked back in those days.
of a war to end war How foolish that sounds nowi
All the sacrifice of human lives has not taught the
nations yet that war never settled anything.
