f MOTHKH-IN-LAW DAY.
, " The Exchange club of Meridian, Miss., is reported to be
making preparations for the observance of "Mother-in-Law
Day" at some day yet to be fixed. A program committee
is it work and something of "unusual interest'' is prophe-j
Bled. At inst tnis sounds line one more veiwon ot tne
ancient mother-in-law joke. "Actually, however, it may

After all, mothers-in-law are useful. They undoubtedly
;do more good than mischief. They have a wonderful way
of coming to tho rescue with' cheerfut services' in times of
emergency. They make nice grandmothers, They come
(across .with more helpful advice than harsh criticism.,
But why give them a separate day of honor? ;i They are
her&v first, 'before they are mothers-in-law, and the
one's who arc good, successful mothers to their own chil
dren do not change their nature and habits when those
children ..marry. Give the mothers-in-law due honor and
jlove in the Mothers' Day observances already established,
jand justice and affection will be better served.
OLD AND NEW CARS.
."The biggest problem of the automobile , business to-
:day," says a dealer"is disposing of the accumulating stock
(of used cars traded in on now ones." Automobile manu
facturing is more efficient than ever before. 1 Automobiles
are better than ever before. Compared with othor manu
j factored products, .and with former prices," there are few
ipurchases that give the buyer so much for his money. Cars
can be made and sold in unlimited quantities.
, . .But this very situation has created the problem com
plained of. Because people buy tho new cars so readily,
jthe old, ones are turned in before they Have outlived their
(Usefulness. So the stock of used oil's piles up and denim's
'have more and more trouble getting rid of them. This is
beginning to work backward and check the orders for new
'cars, threatening to slow down the automotive industry.
. It might do no harm to slow down a little this nbun
idaiitly prosperous industry, and give some of the other in
dustries a chance to catch up, but the problem may solve
itself. There is a natural and obvious solution. It all de
pends on the state of mind of the nutomobilisls,
j Since it has got so that the possessor of an old ear,
when ho trades it in for a now one, can seldom obtain what
he thinks it is worth, he tends more and more to keep it
himself, and use it as an extra when he buys a new car.
Two cars, one new and one old, may soon come to be the
lute. That will enable the old ones to get their natural
wear and give full value to the original purchaser, while
keeping up tho demand for new ones. Yes, the wife will
drive the new one, and you the old one.
