| ECONOMIC DEMAND ibility In Transportation at the Bottom of Industry From the first the automobile has efied prophecy. The words of "wis- dom" which were applied to it only twenty-five years ago sound silly nough today, "the dream of a crank, " pr "an eccentric toy," or "an ad- enturer's vehicle," or "all right for the sportily- inclined millionaire," and, most often repeated and now iest of all, "too uncertain to be re- garded as serious transportation." It is the public habit to attribute the position of the automobile to the courage, energy, and resource- fulnss of the makers, to the persist- nt inventive skill of the engineers, and especially to a superior sort of merchandising genius. The magnitude and stability of the industry did not spring from these elements, however, even though they are 'important factors. They arose, rather, out of the compulsion of an economic de- 'mand, a primal force instinctively nd irresistibly asking its end. Flexibility is the fundamental reason for the automobile. The primal force which created it was civiliza- tion's need of greater flexibility in transportation, just as surely as the elephone was created by the need f more flexible communication, and the printing press by the need of reater flexibility in the spread of knowledge. Flexibility Is Merchandise Flexibility, therefore, is the mer- chandise which automobile manufac- ~ turers offer the public; and, of course, . the quality varies with the motive 'behind the product. A manufacturer who is actuated by the prime instinct of serving his fellow men by making better and better automobiles, builds for permanency. He is entitled to the prestige and money which come to him. Manufacturers like this build legitimate automobiles--by which we "mean cars of character backed by the stored power of sound engineering, consistent progress, long success, and "ample resources, not only in capital, but also in proficiency. They merit he public's confidence. Their fund of experience has given them the flexibility to ride out all the storms f the last twenty-five years, which lave beset the industry and wrecked hose other manufacturers who look- | upon the automobile business as "game," and who sold their product the prestige the legitimate mak- ave shed on the industry. usiness, social, and pleasure use, and will survive longest, which supplies 'the greatest range of flexibility, in the ense that it can best reach out and meet the conditions which confront the motorists--conditions of road load, of traffic, of temperature and especially of burnng the kind of fuel believe that the Stanley ; carriage' s stored power and flexibility its control by one throttle without gear shifting or clutching, its ability to respond to the extreme call for power without carrying undue weight "and complication, its ability to burn low-grade fuels with assurance, its large percentage of repeat sales from duction are factors which build pre- old customers, and its uninflated pro- 'eminently for permanency. ~ CITES BIBLE WHEN AUTOISTS FAIL TO : BURN TAIL LIGHTS Ordinances requiring burning tail lights for automobiles are founded on ~ the Bible and uence should be rigidly enforced, That, at least is the opinion of Mayor Gilmore of Morgantown, W. Va. A violator of the ordinance who ~ was tried by Mayor Gilmore recently protested the legality of the law. In answer, the mayor declared that any ~ law which was founded on the Bible was good enough for him. "What's the Bible got to do with a tail light?" queried the defendant. "Why it's got everything to do with it," replied the mayor. "Don't you remember the story about the ten wise women, five of whom had lights and five of whom didn't? Well, if you do, you will remember the Lord wouldn't have anything to do with the five without lights, and T'll be if this court will was fined $3 and Wholesale swindling of veterans and gold star relatives by unscrupu- lous lawyers, who demand exorbitant fees for obtaining compensation in cases of injury or death, is being in- ~ vestigated by the Massachusetts De- partment of the American Legion, The widow of one man is said to have paid a lawyer fee of 10 per cent of a $10,000 due her through the death of her husband overseas.

THREE LEAP FROM CARS; TRAIN WRECKS MACHINE Wiliiam J. Hough, 949 Spruce street, his wife and Guy N. Newcomb, 277 Poplar street, narrowly escaped death Monday night when they leap- ed to safety a few seconds before a Chicago and Northwestern train crashed into their automobile at the Elm street crossing shortly after 11 o'clock. Mr. Newcomb, owner of the car, was driving west on Elm street and was crossing the tracks when the gateman suddenly lowered the gates. The car stopped on the south bound track. The trio leaped to safety an instant before the thundering loco- motive crashed through the machine. Wreckage of the car was scattered for two blocks along the right of way. Hough is general manager of the Columbia Naval stores and New- comb, assistant manager of the same concern. SINAI CONGREGATION HAS : TIMELY LECTURE SERIES Prof. M. C. Otto, of the University of Wisconsin, Wednesday evening delivered the fourth of a series of lectures held at the Winnetka Wom- an's club under the auspices of the North Shore Sinai congregation. The subject was, "The Moral Education of Youth." The lecture was largely attended and proved of absorbing in- terest to the audience. Oswald. Garrison Villard, editor of "The Nation," will speak Wednesday cvening, February 2, on "Weaknesses and Dangers of Modern Journalism." Mr. Villard is regarded as one of the greatest of American thinkers. His thought possesses tremendous back- ground, it is said, and he has the courage of his convictions, putting into, practice some of his finest theories. American Legion members in Pinedale, Wyo., claim that their Phillips-Edwards Post is farthest from a railroad of any post in thg United States. The distance from the nearest railway line is said 'to be 110 miles. There are thirty-five members in the post, which repre- sents a territory of 500 square miles. Wonud's Glul \Y > er ) A regular meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club was held on Thursday, January 27, at 2:30 o'clock. In the absence of Mrs. Porter the first vice- president, Mrs. Charles S. Buell, pre- sided. The minutes of the last reg- ular meeting were read by Mrs. de Windt, and were approved. Mrs. Buell reported on her visit to Washington as a delegate from the club in the interests of the Smith- Towner bill. She had a most inter- esting interview with Representative Chindblqom, and through his intro- duction was able to have a talk with Judge Towner's secretary, the Judge himself being out of town. It is very much hoped that the bill may be passed by the 67th Congress but it means hard work in the face of heavy odds. If you have not already written your representatives urging their support of the Smith-Towner bill please bear this in mind.
