The Interior, di mensions are identical with those of cars of much lonjrer wheeltbase, the roominess of the body being one of its most conspicuous advan tages. The greatest change, how ever. Is in tb reduced thickness of the corner pillars, where the use of steel has enabled the mak ers to free the driver from the dangers and tension caused by the old-fashioned thick uprights that hide so much from view. The burdens of the. driver and owner are lightened by the com pactness of the car, achieved without sacrifice of spaciousness, and by features designed to pro cure low-cost operation, and up keep. The New-Day Jewett, be cause of its compactness an:l oase of maneuvering, can be housed fh a small garasje with room to spare, and can slip into a parking space so restricted that many cars would have to pass it by.

AXCIEXT ARCH IV PANAMA Panama is one of the most an cient cities on the American con tinents. It was founded in 1519, the year Cortez set out on his ex pedition to conquer Mexico. One of the objects which attracts the visitor in Panama is the "flat arch" in the ruins on the church: of San Domingo. The ediffice it self was built by Dominican monks in the palmy days of Spain's power. Accordiag to tradition, when the supports were removed .from one of the chief archways it, tumbled to the ground. Another was erected in its place, but it too fell. The experiment was repeat ed the third time with a Bimilar result At last an old mong, who was not supposed to know anything about architecture or engineering, had a dream in which was pres ented to him a plan for constructr ihg an arch whichwoTild stands A structure was ereated according to the plan thus evolved. The arch was almost flat and made of ordinary brick. Everybody in Panama -with one exception ex pected to see this arch fall as the others had done. But the old monk who had conceived . it had faith In his dream- When the sup ports were removed he stood un der the arch with folded arms It did not fall, and it never has fallen, for to this day it stands there amid the ruins of the church in a wonderful state of preserva tion, .v....

That mark your place. The torch your dying hands did throw. We've held it high before the foe And answered bitter blow for blow In Flanders fields. iAnd where your hero's blood was . spilled The guns are now forever stilled And silent grown. There is no moaning of the slain, There is no cry of tortured pain, And blood will never flow again In Flanders fields. Forever holy in our sight Shall be those crosses gleaming white That guard your sleep. Rest you in peace, the task is done T task you left us we have won And "Peace on Earth" has just begun In Flanders fields. Edna Jacques. Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead The firlit that ye'so'bravely led We've taken up. "And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep With each a cross to mark his bed. And poppies blowing overhead, Where once his own life blood ran red. So let your rest be sweet and deep In Flanders fields. Fear not that ye have died for naught, The torch ye threw to us we eaugnt. Ten million hands will hold it high And Freedom's light shall never die. We've learned the lesson that ye taught In Flanders fields-. R. W. Lilliard. (Written shortly after Col.' Mc- Crae's death.) In Flanders fields the cannon boom And fitful flashes light the gloom. While up above, like eagles, fly The fierce destroyers of the sky: With stains the earth wherein yon lie Is redder than the poppy bloom, In Flanders fields. . Sleep on, ye brave.

Hill's offense had been committed on the Sabbath, and the justice accordingly assessed a heavy fine.

"Red" Grange, finan cier of the football field,' has made his first investment a new Nash Special .Six roadster. No longer will the" famous redhead rumble over the streets of Wheaton, HI., in his memorable ice wagon.' Now "Red" can enjoy the luxuy of soft balloon tires and spirited per formance other than that of his high priced legs. Grange, returnng to his home in Wheaton for a short rest after his strenuous tour of eastern Rritf- irons, stopped off in Chicago just long enough to visit Motor Row and buy his new Nash. Despite many offers of "gift" cars from other motor car deal ers, "Red" had hi3 heart set on owning a Nash and he graciously turned down all other induce ments to buy a Nash . roadster, The check was drawn, on the Illi nois Trust of Champaign, the bank whone coffers, it is rumored, are already bulging with Grange's football winnings. "I wanted to have a nice new car to show the folks at home," said "Red." Besides, I guess 1 ran afford to own one now," he added with a srin. With his l;ankoll swiftly ap proaching six-figure dimensions, Gange did not feel the necessity of takins advantage of the usual time-payment plan, in gene;il use among 85 pe cent of all automo bile owners. "Red" drove from Chicago to Wheaton in his new car where he will spend a few days with his family .before getting back into his football togs for a new cam paign in Florida. Swell in Value of Lira Did Not Cut Living Cost ROME The recent increase in the value of thel ire, which was expected to relieve the hif?h cost of living, has instead left Italian's at loggerheads with the task of making ends meet. . When the lira was worth hardly more than three cents, the cost of lh ing suddenly soared upward. Isut when the lira wa3 again worth more than four cents, the hish cost of living refused to come down, despitet he lamentations of the people. Shopkeepers who marked up their prices refused to mark them uowu, arguing tney nad to pay for their stocks at the higher prices and that the lira was too unsteady to permit stabilizing sell ing rates.

H never forgot . it. He was a barber and he believed that sooner or later this agent would, in making the rounds of the dif ferent barber shops (as most all men do), some day enter his door and'sit in his chair. It was a de licious thought and some nights he' almost got delirious thinking of it. ; "Then came a day (as the story writers put it) when the unsus pecting victim entered this bar ber shop and seated himself in the chair without recognizing his one-l time prisoner. It was a warm day and the agent had not got much sleep the night before. The hair cutting, too, was soothing;, and the agent , fell asleep. The barber then. got in his dirty work and it was all he could do to sup press his eatisf action which .was swelling hi3 chest to the bursting point. i Then the. poor man woke tip and saw himself in the mirror. He was bald. When the barber told the man he. had given instruc tions for a shaved head the vic tim could do nothing but hate himself, the barber and everybody in the world. Later,, when, the agent had left the shop, he won dered where ,he had ever seen that barber before. One thing was certain he didn't care . ever to see him again. HE CLIBRO TOE LADDER Some two score years ago young George H. Jones, of Car thage, N. Y was forced to leave off his scbool education in the grades to go to work. His first job was on a 1 2-hour shift in a knitting milL This paid him the munificent sum of 35 cents a day. Surely a modest beginning for one who was supposed to have been born as free and equal as his fel low Americans. At the age of 15 Jones had be come office boy, bookkeeper and salesman for an insurance com pany. He had started to climb. Three years later he got a job as stenographer with the National Transit Co., of Oil City, Pa., then a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company. Jones kept climbing the ladder f6r 35 years until today at the age of 53 he has been elected chairman of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, in which capacity be will share with the president of the company tho ex ecutive responsibilities. This case furnishes one more instance Dodge 5' m -mm 1 where lack, of a eollege-education did not tprerentHhe ultimate suc cess of a determined and honest worker. ; " '". ; ; v.-ijj Recently the schooner Isabel Parmenter was wrecked off Cape Hatteraa. by , a heavy northeast gale.
