THE GRASS WITHERETH, THE FLOWER FADETH; BUT THE WORD OF OUR OOD SHALL STAND FOREVER, laalah 4U:, ' . A Nation-Wide Problem '.. The big metropolis has little in common with the cross roads village. When the same problem is encountered by both large and small communities it is so greatly multi plied in the city that the city problem loses its' relation with the rural. ' The one possible exception is perhaps the traffic prob lem. J The rapid increase in numbers of the automobile has created a nation-wide traffic congestion which is hard ly less serious, relatively, on rural highways than on the busiest city thoroughfares. The limited road facilities in the country and small towns are as heavily taxed by the rush of traffic as are the broader city streets. Toward the relieving of our national traffic congestion at least the large-and small communities can work in unison and -mutual helpfulness. jfoney, study and cooperation are necessary to the so lution of our new transportation problem. Money is re quired to build new roads, more roads, better roads and widef roads. The widening of streets in the cities and townSj involves the condemnation and purchase of private property before construction work can be undertaken. City planners and road builders with foresight and the neces sary money' a century or more ago would have solved our problem before it arose. It is doubtful whether we have the foresight and money to solve the traffic problem of the future. The scientific study of traffic will aid much 111'" alleviating conditions. Parking restrictions, classil'ica t'on yf traffic, police supervision and lonting are bringing results in some places. Scientific study is also building better roads for less money and taking better care of fu ture demands. Cooperation is most essential in the untangling of our transportation rjam." Those who must cooperate are the motorists, the pedestrians and the general ruiblic. The motorists may have to surrender some of their parking privileges, the pedestrians .must be reconciled to greater caution in crossing busy streets.

Progress Cannot Be Staged Lord Sumner, a judge of the Rritish high court of jus tice, Sn addressing the liritish Science Guild, declared that "experience has shown that a greater part of the discov eries; of applied scit'nee are purely evil." For examples, he cited, the phonograph as "corrupting the musical sense of the civilized worid," of the moving picture as "devoid of valuo" and of the waste and inutility of the automobile, j His lord's chief objection to the automobile is that he secs.no advantage in scurrying along at twice or three times the rate people so long found satisfactory with their horses and stages. Some such conservative as Iord Sumner probably bo rated, the first horseback rider for traveling at a higher speed than his pedestrian-fellows on the excuse that man up to that time had always walked and that ho could not conjecture why anyone should care to scurry along on a horse. It is reasonable to suppose that there have been Sumncriau conservatives as long as there have been men, ho the first prehistoric man to ride a dinosaur and the first owner of a wheel cart must have been pestered and an noyed with somewhat similar objections. With apologies to Messrs. Bryan and Darwin, we will imagine the conservative quadruped apes on the tree tops and the paleolithic rocks scolding the first of their mini-1 ler to walk on two legs. In our own day we frequently hear men say the automobile is fast enough for men when the subject of air transportation is raised in their presence. If i-rfrd Sumner would visit America he would find the phonograph bringing good music to homes where it had never been, before, he would find moving picture theaters ill every community giving the people an education in world affairs and he could see class prejudices and provincial barriers collapsing before the automobile. Our experience with applied science has proven all of its discoveries boons to niankind. ' ' ' f ; For Sale Seven-room homo, 4 bedrooms.

' FDJP A Score of Features to Explain These Results Among Chrysler Six features which contribute to its long life and operating economy, is the centrifugal air cleaner which purges the air taken in by the carburetor. This cleaner effectu ally protects the cylinders and pistons from the entrance of fine, gritty dust. Of equal importance is the Chrysler oil filter, which thoroughly cleans all the oil in the crankcase every 25 miles, and contributes much to smoothness, freedom from carbon, and longer life of rotating and moving parts.

Detroit; lax extra. a ' tiktmgH Every one who has familiarized himself with the new Chrysler Six and its extraordinary perform, ance is convinced that this car turns the leaf of the automobile calendar many years forward. The engine design embodies a new type of combustion chamber that burns all the gas. Also a new way of distributing the gas equally to all cylinders. A score of other features must be taken into ac count to explain why an engine only 3-inch bore by 434-inch stroke delivers 68 horsepower, top speed well over 70 miles an hour, and a pick-up that is electrifying. All these things you'll understand better when you ride in the car. You'll find, also, an amazing amount of room, and an case of handling and parking that is a constant delight.
