SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919 Candidates, Prospective And Past Presidential candidates are bob- bing up over night, and will continue to bob, no doubt, in the months in- tervening before the meeting of the " National Republican and Democratic conventions in the early summer. It is significant of the indecision of the people, as well as of the candi- dates, that there should be so many who are evidently in a receptive mood for comsideration by the party leaders and none who stands out as the "logical" choice of either party. The time is growing short if' which | leadership may be developed. The country has never stood in greater | need of wise guidance than it stands | just Never have there been! such stupendous questions to be de-! cided nor such great need that they | be decided right. Never has there been a more evident and general de- | termination to evade assumption of | responsibility for anything that may | affect in 1920. | Never has there been a lower ebb of | now. the election results patriotism and Americanism in high places, never a scanter consideration | of the nation where such considera- | tion might possibly intérfere or con- flict with personal ambition or pros-! pects. | The pulilic is sedulously looking for a man who shows that he has the courage to lead the country through the difficult years of the next admin- istration. That will be the only is- sue in the next presidential election, whatever may be brought the discussions. It is going to the man who has' the confidence of the people as a leader, one whose loyalty to the public in- | political policies into be 1] terest has not been made question- able by his attitude as to our inter- national relations or by his position in domestic affairs. The men who have heen prominent in both par- ties, most of whom have been indus- triously destroying what prospects. they might have had for choice to head the party ticket, are bound to find that their records in the period | the signing of the armistice; have been much more carefully con- | sidered by the general public than] they have thought to be the case. There is little time in which they may retrieve their sorry records, but their only hope lies in trying. since The "Unprivileged Kid" The consideration to have "privileged" | | "unprivileged kid" is the men who make up the membership of the 1 ny Chicago Union league club, un- der which organization a club for "boys who need some boosting over + the hard places in life are to be tak- sem carve of and given that needed "help. i4 The history of America should i give to the American a peculiarly open mind as to the value of making the most of the boys of the poor.

That there may be a Lincoln hidden away in some obscure home is a pos- sibility. That there is abundant ma- terial to make into good citizens or to grow up bad, is a to allow into certainty. To Promote Mutual Understanding A real beginning is being made to- wards a fuller understanding between the people of the British Isles and the people of the United States in the recent endowments of chairs of American history in English uni- versities and of English history in American universities. There can be no understanding of a nation without a knowledge of the events that have had a moulding in- fluence over it. No prejudice can remain where there is mutual under- standing, a condition that it is most desirable to develop and to cultivate between this country and Great Brit- ain. The war has left the world expect- ant of great things from the English speaking peoples. The opportunity for leadership in every line of en- deavor is ours if we have but the courage to seize it and the ability to impraye it." We shall get farther to- wards the American and the British ideal of democratic institutions if there is co-operation between the English speaking peoples. To effect that the rising generation must know their overseas cousins better than has known them, must understand them as we of this generation not understood them, must be able to look from the point of view of the other members of the English speaking family and | so be able to adjust our differences! without difficulty.

How does he balance himself? You've seen the daring bareback trick riders at the circus? You know what a thrill they give as they race around the track, standing legs apart, a foot on the back of each horse. How do they keep their bodies in balance and at ease as the horses rise and fall in the plunge of their mad gallop? When you've found the answer you've guessed a good part of the reason why the new three-point sus- pensian springs on Overland 4, the sew light car recently announced, act the way they do on the roughest, bumpiest roads on which they have been demonstrated in this locality. An engineering explanation of the why Gi wherefore of the springs rakes in much of interest about the principle of the léver and much more of instruction about distribution of thrusts, the force of blows and the like. Then you learn that in some magical, mathematical way this new type of springs has done the same work for the bumps in the road that the music master does for the notes in the scale. In the novice's hands, these notes may run into a choppy discord, bump- ing the senses unpleasantly. "The master provides harmony from the same notes and the result is pleas- ing and comfortable to the ear. The master engineers who designed Overland 4 have done something of the same sort of work through Over- land 4's springs. They have found a way to harmonize the bumps in the road; synchronized them, is the en- sineering phrase. And the result is an apparent floating over ruttiest, Sumpiest highway in smooth, rhyth- mic travel, rather than in the rag- yime jerks of ordinary riding. There has been so much popular and scientific interest in the new springs that E. H. Belden, vice presi- dent in charge of engineering for the Willys-Overland company has been asked to explain why these springs sive the entirely new sensation over bad roads. "Te begin with," Mr. Belden says, "the new spring suspension has turn- ed out exactly as we would like to have it. The new design has aroused the interest of the Society of Auto- motive Engineers, and all other high grade automobile engineers, as a new standard spring suspension. "In Overland 4, the springs sweep in a diagonal from a point on the chassis frame fifteen inches beyond the axle at front and rear. The effect is that of four light, flexible levers carrying passenger load on an even keel while lifting the road wheels over rocks and bumps without dis- agreeably jouncing the passengers. "No illustration is so apt, perhaps, as that of the circus performer or the rider in the old Olympic games. He urges his horses forward in a wild He has a foot on the back gallop. of each of .his two horses. He must maintain balance and equilibrium. And he does. His legs come up and go down with each plunge of the horses beneath but his body remains steady. : "The springs on Overland 4 act like | the legs of this circus rider. The body ~ (eo) -- Le} pf | !

The blow of the bump on the road has at last been taken away from the spine of the passenger. "It is because of this flexible lever action that we have found that Over- land 4's springs automatically elimin- ate bobbing. Fully to describe the total effect of the springs a new word has been added to the auto- mobile to describe this car's spring suspension. That new word is "spring-base". "In the ordinary car, wheelbase has denoted also the center of thrust or load suspended on the springs. Not so in Overland 4. The springs meet the chassis fifteen inches beyond the axles. That gives us springbase, 30 inches longer than wheelbase. There wheelbase of 130 inches but in se- curing that, we have actually im- you have all the effect of large car proved upon the established economy advantages of the short 100-inch wheelbase." NEW YEAR SERVICES. The program of the Wilmette Con- gregational church for the coming week includes a New Year sermon by Mr. Lloyd, the pastor, on Sunday morning; an Automat party for high school and college men and women Tuesday evening; an Old Year service on Wednesday evening, New Year's éve, at which time a recep- tion will be tendered to all who have become members of the church dur- ing the past year. The officers of the charch will be in the receiving line. The evening will conclude with a religious service in the auditorium. on CHILDREN'S PARTY. The Mothers' Jewels and Home Guard society of children of the Wil- mette Methodist church were enter- tained last week at a party given by Mrs. Fred Mason and Mrs. Harry W. Mons at the Mons' residence, 92 Oakwood avenue. The children ren- dered a very enjoyable program. GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY MAGAZINE PHONE 323 Catalogs Sent Free WILLIAM A.
