(t JIT Chicago Flat Dwellers ; , Fight Rent Profiteering Chicago, April 17 This city is at tempting to prevent, rent profiteer ing by regulating increases in rates and by organizing a $100,000,000 corporation to build homes and sell them on easy payments. Mean while Chicago's flat dwellers havjr been forming unions to wage war on alleged profiteering landlords and committees in the city council have been investigating increases in rents ranging up to 100 and even 200 per cent. ' Several hundred families have solved their individual housing problems by making their homes in houseboats moored in the branches of the Chicago river, the Calumet and lakes . in South Chicago. Once in nnccpcQinn nf a house boat, the owner only has to pay $1 a month for the privilege of mooring his craft. If he does not like his loca tion he can move his home boat elsewhere. Many of these boats cost $1,000 each and have five rooms, parlor, dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms. In some cases groups of (tenants have solved the rent problem by forming co-operative companies and buying the apartment houses in which they live. 'Plan Model Homes. The housing corporation, 'which has been financed by banks and business tnen, has under considera tion a plan to build a row of model homes in Grant Park, on the lake front. .Examples of many types of standardized homes would be erect ed, furnished and 'surrounded by settings of trees and shrubbery so that a prospective purchaser of a new home could look over the styles before placing his order. i Attempts have been made .to check profiteering by co-operation of the city council and the Cook rAimiir ctat hnard which in vestigated complaints and, when in creases were touna to pe excessive, advised the landlord to withdraw his demihds. In general , the in vestigators have allowed an in crease of about 30 per cent over last vear's rentals. A oroDosal was made to erect scores of portable houses, but the carpenters' union declared its oppo sition to tnat plan even 11 inc nouses mm tfrnm uninn factories. The recent tornadoes which de stroyed 100 houses and damaged 400 more in Chicago and its . suburbs have augmented a housing shortage which had already become acute through suspension of budding op erations in the war and long-drawn builders' contracts. PRESENT DAY MARRIAGES ARE ROUNDLTSCORED Muskegon, Minister Says He Will Beg Rather Than Take Money for Per forming Nuptials. By -International Kwt Serrle.' Muskegon. Mich.. April 17. Adit William John Purdue. Salvation Arfmy leader, who gained consider able reputation as a marrying par son, says that he will bee for a liv ing before he will take money in the future for marriages. I am through" said Adjutant i Purdue. "Marriage conditions have been going from bad to worse for j months now, until I am heartily sick with our moral conditions as they apply to marriages. s i The climax came, recently when a woman arrived with her fifth hus band and wanted me to perform the ceermony. I refused and I gave her a lecture, which caused her to leave quickly for another minister. Then a few days ago a girl not ret Zl years old divorced her third husband . . , in ine local conns. . ,,.-.. Marriage Just Passing Fancy. "Marriage today is to many peo ple just a passing fancy. They change husbands and wives as they would change automobiles' in the spring. Jhey want the latest model and when the paint is worn they feel it is time to discard. - "Women are the worst offenders against the marriage vows. They get married on a dare in the morn ing and are separated in the after noon. Dress is considered an im portant factor toda with the wom en. They want to dress, even if the table is without food. . , ' "This modern life may be" fas cinating, but it is disgusting. ' Infant mortality rates are increasing, and more boys and girls are finding their way into the juvenile courts. We talk much about sedition, and it pays us to guard our country and rlag, but we overlook the most im portant danger of our civilization to day, bolshevism in the home and moral conditions. "In the future I will marry only personal friends and not until I am satisfied it isn't creating more jobs for lawyers. ' - V y Trial Marriages Pave Hell. "Hell today is being paved with trial marriages. Let us stop and listen a minute without drowning out the curse by singing, 'Hail, hail, the gang's all here.' "I notice that a Chicago judge quit a few days ago because he was tired of hearing divorces. He is right Divorce is becoming an asset to the average woman today The other dayVa local justice obtained a divorce tor a couple and then came back to his court and married another coupte. That's what I call a double standard of morals. "It is becoming a disgrace to most females today to know anything about cooking. They spend their nights on the dance floor to jazz tunes and meet some young; fellow and decide at once they're in love. Then they marry and the terror is started. The jazz music gives way to a greater discord and they - then swear two witnesses in court and a decree is granted. Then the gay life starts all over again. "Give me the days when the baby carriage and cook book held places of honor in the home and a home spun lock was not a luxury." , . , Abyssinia, it is said, gives great authority to the wife. It is her privilege to abuse her husband, and she can divorce him at pleasure) whereas the husband must show cause if he wishes to divorce his wife. Artists Need Wine, 5 Workers THeirBeeTjfjj Says Rich Painter Chicago, April 17. "Art cinnot endure without wine," said .Robert W, Chanler, former husband of Una Cavalier! and millionaire artist,. 2 en the occasion of a visit here recently. "It's the inspiration of the true artist," Mrt Chanler, Continued. "Take it away and hit work grows stale." . . .; So that non-artists may not be left in the cold, it is well to continue Mr. Chanler's statement: "In like manner, the abolishing of beer threatens the nation'a industries. Workmen can't work without beer." Summed up: Wine for the artist; beer for the workingman; and the country will be nearer to Utopia. It Is Results That Count If you have tried drugs, massage, vibrators, "pats" and "rubs," and rtill ; have your ailment, it is because your doctor has overlooked the CAUSE. Temporary relief avails but little and is often obtained at the expense of . an already weakened vitality, a reaction which follows artificial stimulation. VI Where there is abnormal function, there . ii . A CAUSE., To restore, the cause must be removed. Health is the result of normal lerve force. DIs- ; ease is the result of abnormal or subnormal nerve .' force to the affected organ or part of the body. CHIROPRACTIC confines itself directly to the ' location of the hindrance to nerve force -the' CAUSE of disease and removes the obstruction, perrmitting normal nerve control.

CoriTtrt Tests That Proyed Hudson Also Speak for Essex Both Hold Performance Records ' That Have Never Been Equalled In all Hudson's matched records this impor- '. tant fact is clear: No ability is sacrificed in one direction to gain supremacy in aother. Hudson is the fleetest. Its stock car speed records have never been equalled. On the speedway its racing cars won more points than any other team ever gained. But its speed means no forfeit of other qual ities. For in official tests, the Super-Six has also out-performed all other types, in endurance, hilkclimbing and acceleration. In every motor performance it has estab lished leadership by unanswerable proofs. Hudson Records Prove ' Its All-Round Mastery - Only a supreme advantage that others can not use, could account for such all-round dominance. Hudson has it in the Super-Six motor. It minimizes vibration to within 10 of vanishing nearer the ideal than any type we know. , . . In the same size motor the exclusive Super Six principle added 72 to power and 80" to efficiency. Endurance is practically doubled , - J Moreover, this extra ability in speed and power means driving at half load, in ordi nary motoring. It means absence of strain, thus much less mechanical deterioration. It means a wider range of flexibilityyand the easy mastery of road and hill. Knowing how many have been disappointed in the past, will you risk a long wait for your Hudson, by delay in placing your order? Built by the same makers, Hudson's un equalled records also speak for Essex. They UY L. v '..'"SEBYtCE r foretold performance never expected of i light car. . The prophecies now are facte. And Essex Holds the World's 50 -Hour Endurance Record An Essex stock chassis set the world's 60 hour endurance record of 3,037 miles. That is officially certified by the American Auto mobile Association. And Esse holds the world's mark of 1,061 road miles in 24 hours. A stock touring car did that , Local road, speedway and hill-climbing rec ords in every section of the country are held by Essex. 1 Scores of abusive tests have proved the endurance that 30,000 owners find in the daily exercise of their Essex cars. But it is not only in performance that Essex ; shows the same stamp of quality as Hudson. Its beauty of line, its luxury of appoint ment are the work of years of leadership in coach design. See the carefcnd completeness, even in the smallest details. Its ridmg- 'comfort, its smooth, quiet running tease, with the sug gestion of well-contained reserve power, are qualities comparable to the finest "of high priced cars, yet you gain all the advantages of the lightweight type, more important to-: day than ever. ' Judge the EJssex, not by the lightweight standards that you have known, but by the much more exacting requirements oi the large costly cars. Measure it by the highest standards of performance and fine quality rather than by its moderate price. You, too, will find the appeal that has won thirty thousand. -t- ' 25CS SMITH- r ' ' 1 i FIRST- USA pmonI'Douclisc :i5tc V
