United States. where traffic congestion demands case handling, positive . braking, quick starting and high power to give quick acceleration and to ob viate frequent gear changes, in combination with a body that at tains campactness without reduc- ' ing the passenger space. The ne- ceiiuty for utilizing- small parking spaces and the ability to tnread one's way through crowded high ways 'were prime considerations la the design. Tfc'ls because of the car's unique adaptability to present and future roattltions that the ""name "New Day Jewett" was adopted. Among the leading features are ralge hydraulic tour-wheel brakes ' standard on all models, making It te-lowest priced car with hy drdnlic equipment; improved steel construction in the closed car mpplels .with, a noteworthy in crease! in safety through the re suiting narrow pillars, the dan gerous "blind spots" being virtu ally, eliminated; and new-day ease of .control in combination with the1-performance qualities for which the Jewett has long been " favorablly known. - The body engineers, have scored a remarkable success, having pro- Tided for the new car the Identical Inside dimensions as In the much fcighert priced models, achieving a . ,i - P mm 1 b ma fit a., an ana comfort. 1 .

Only one flexible con nection is used for the rear wheels, connecting with a metal tube that runs across and the rear axle supplies the fluid for both wheels. Fuel supply Is frofai an ll:ril lon tank in the rear, the taxrk be ing protected by a hear steel covering that serves sk a rear cross-mejnber of the frame. Tires are 29x1.75 non-skid bal loon cords. On - the standard two Jlo&r sedan, artillery type wjcGd wheels are used; the de luxe sedan has disc wheels. Standard equipment for . all models includes sun visor, coinci-j dental ignition and steering-wheel j lock, electric horn, radiator orna-i roent, windshield wiper, speed- j ometer. Jack and tools. In addi tion, the de inxe -moereis-have snubbers, front and rear; nickel radiator shell, automatic wind shield wiper, full front bumper, quarter rear bumpers, rear view mirror and combination stop and tail light. Both the Etandard and de luxe models are finished in two tones of lacquer, and have double belt molding, the lower bead extend ing the full length of the car. The pillars. are very narrow, greatly increasing the. area of glass,, and giving full vision from all seats. The greatest benefit is to the driver who has so little ob struction of vision that he will have no concern about what may be hidden from view. , Both front and rear seats are set low, and there is surprisingly ample leg room. Gearshift lever and hand brake lever are set well forward out o fthe way and there is room enough in the tonneau to carry luggage without': Inconven iencing passengers. - A combination of an unusually wide door and a folding front seat makes possible the easy en trance or egress of passengers without disturbing those seated in the front compartment. The right-hand front seat folds for ward under the dash, completely out of the way. The windshield is of the one- piece construction, adjustable for ventilation. A cowl ventilator is provided also. The windows 'in the doors may be lowered flush with the frames, while the side windows aft catf be lowered near ly to the frames; all are control led by crank window regulators. Four-Dollar-a -Year Slaves Built by Simple Experiment - fTL . -z.

The forty-sixth anniversary of the demonstration of the first suc cessful incandescent lamp has just passe. That alone would justify its celebration in honor of Thomas A. Gdion. its inventor. The developments following in the wake of the lamp make the day of its birth the real beginning of the electric age the birthday of a new era an era which will lead all the rest. The energy distributed as elec tricity by the electric light and power companies of the United States Is available at an average cost of 4 per man power per year. The slave and the convict, who get no wages at all, cost many times as much. . Even the Chinese Cooiie draws a princely salary in comparison. The four-dollar-a-year then are the most efficient laborers the world has ever known. Work is the life of their being. They live only when they work. They don't watch the clock; they never heard of an eight-hour day. There isn't a lazy man among them. No task is too great and none too mean. Xo work is too good and any work is good enough. They are Jacks-of-all Trades and experts at each. They are many-handed and every hand is a right hand. They will perform any number of different jobs simultaneously. They will run the sewing machine upstairs, sweep the floors downstairs, and cook dinner irk the kitchen, wash dishes in the pantry, make ice in the back hall, light the dining room table, iron clothes In the basement, summons you to the front door, and carry a message to the other side of the world and do it all at one and the same time. They never sleep, never rest, never play. They are never sick never tired, never drunk. They don't grow weary or decrepit. They require no taskmaster, over seer or boss. They don't soldier. loaf, or malinger. They don't com plain, quarrel, or talk batk. They have no alibi or excuses. They don't have to be petted, humored, or cajoled. They have no kick on the food, tools or quarters. They bear no grudge, or ill-will cherish no resentment, and don't "-now the mear.ng -,f disloyalty. They are never surly, ill-tempered or reluctant. : They are unobtrus ive, hold their tongues, and carry no gossip.

Work for Rich and Poor Alike , They work for rich and poor with the same willingness and. the same effectiveness and at the same wageR. The quality of their work is the sarao to all, without reference to financial, social or political position. They are the servants of the servant as well as of the master. .Whatever physical work there is to do their job is to do it. Al most every day some new kind of work is found for them to do. Their capacity for beneficial serv ice is unbounded. Wiping Sweat From Mrn's Face Notwithstanding the many other tasks. they have taken on. they make more and better light every year. That's one of their distinguishing characteristics. They are constantly improving their methods always becomina more and more efficient at each task they undertake. , . They are taking on their shoul der the burden of labor. They are freeing men and women from drwgery. Every day they are mitigating more and more the sentence pronounced on man for Adam's disobedience. They are wip.'ng away the sweat from men's faces. They are converting labor ers into4 directors of labor. They are increasing production, aising extended. wages ana elevating the standards of living. They are enabling men to substitute brains for brawn. They are the reason why the work men in America receive the high est wages in the world; produce the greatest output per man in the world, and enjoy the best liv ing conditions in. the world. Orfspi-inr of Light In the United States there are 30S.8SO.0O0 of these four-dollar-a- year men. They are hired out to 16,377,003 employers. Their numbers are increasing and sett ling oyer wider and wider areas. There are 30,618.000 more of them than there were a year ago. and they have 1.900.000 more em ployes than they had then. They are spreading from city to hamlet to fnrm. The day will come when they will be available everywhere. They live tn the generators of the electric light and power com panies. But wherever they are. you can always pnt your finger on them. When not needed thev re main inanimate; when summoned, they spring instantly to the task. They are the fleetest footed mes sengers In the world. Offspring of light, they have inherited the speed of, light. While they are produced and an distributed by the electri light and power companies, their wages are-regulated.by the State's auth ority. They can bring to, Inordin ate profit to the companies for their hire. They are permitted to charge only enough to cover the cost of producing them and send 'n them out, including a reason able rate of interest on the value of the facilities required for their creation. It's a wonderfully useful and economical service these Sons of Light perform. May their tribe increase!
