"The total car-lot move ment is estimated at 1,950 cars, as compared to 5,000 cars last year. A slightly larger per cent of the crop may move, if prices and weather conditions are favorable and a suf ficient number of cars i are avail able." Total Crop of Country.

JEWELER OFFERS HIS SHOP TO MEN : WHO ASK RAISE Men Refuse Offer and Quit When Employer Refuses Demand for 25 Per Cent v Increase. , New York, Sept. 20. When the employes of Goldsmith, Stern & Co., one of the largest jewelry manufac turing concerns in the United States, threatened to strike unless they were granted a 25 per cent increase in wages, August Goldsmith, head of the company, offered them the entire plant at its appraised value of $300,000, and his own services for six months without pay in helping them to run it. His offer was Re fused. This was learned from Mr. Gold smith today. He said he offered the plant on an easy payment basis.

When a piano dealer ielU jou that because YOU ARE YOU, he will sell Jjou a piano he has marked $500 for $300. I Don't Believe It --When a piano dealer assures you he is giving you a bigger discount than he is anyone else. Because he quotes you a first price of $450 and finally offers to sell the piano to you. for $300 doesn't mean that you are saving $150. Probably the piano ISN'T WORTH EVEN $300. The price simply slides to the point where you will accept it The sliding price dealers fairly DARE YOU to make them an offer. -Dorit let your wisdom be obscured by the "Special Discount" dust. Don't buy a piano or player last because of ridiculously small payments. Re- member thi dealer who continually advertises LOW payments must of necessity 1 havt a much larger prof it.

You must hare seen this dainty new Essex. ' ' More than a thousand are in service. You Will Recognize It At a Glance T' It comes in the same beautiful green that distinguishes the Essex touring car. The body is simple with the newest , square lines, low roof, but with ample head room, wide doors, deep seats and f high backs. . Has Large Car Comforts With Small Car Costs , . For one reason, men speak of the Essex as they do, because of its costly, car finish and equipment. The Essex has no useless length or weight and no sacri- fice has been made in any of the com forts. It has all the passenger space that larger cars afford You have but to ride in an Essex to know its comfort. There is the large car's solidness about it that removes all sense of its weight in size. '. And yet its size gives distinct advantages. It makes the Essex easy to drive. It can be steered with two fingers. It can be turned in a short radius, parked in a small space, and of course there is an immense saving in operating costs. And, too, its size accounts for its costly car quality at a moderate price. It Is Just as Lively as the Other Essex Many will tell you the fastest auto . mobile ride they ever enjoyed was . in an Essex. ( Others say it is the quickest and liveliest car in acceleration they know. We leave it to the Essex to reveal those qualities.. But rest assured it is not sluggish. It gives way to no car where accelera tion, speed and comfort of driving and riding are concerned. The season when the Sedan will be most enjoyed is approaching. So you should speak for your Essex without de lay. The one thousand in service, to say nothing of ten times as many touring models in use, indicates a continued Es sex shortage.

I "iiU '"aaBse" Silks of Extreme Loveliness for Evening Gowns If The utterly luxurious is typified in the fab rics designed for the dinner gowns and danc ing frocks of the coming season. ; . ' . ' IF To the taffetas, crepe meteors and Crepe de chines have been added a number of very new silks worthy of individual mention. Satin Panne, an exquisite clinging silk, combining the draping qualities of velvet with, the lustre of satin, is a real triuriiph of the weaver's art, remi niscent of the foreign pro ductions of before ,the war. This satin comes in a rose, Pekin, turquoise, pink, orchid and black. The Georgettes for evening wear are in the unusually lumi nous, vital shades necessary in a sheer fabric which is to be seen under artificial light. The range of colors is unlimited, allowing amply for combina tion with other silks. A wonderful metal cloth has been evolved to satisfy our in clination toward the elaborate. It is a sheer, crisp, sparkling thing which should adapt itself readily to the bouffant skirt which has gained favor in Paris. In gold and a silvery white, it is particularly daz zling, but shades of pink, Nile green, maize, and turquoise' may also be had. , Then like an invigorating memory from the past comes a true Dolly Varden pattern in a heavy gros grain broche. The gay little roses and leaves are charmingly naive in contrast to the sophisticated fabrics of today, and for a short, slim waisted, full skirted frock with fluffy panniers at the side and back nothing could be finer.
