With Glowing Description
Of Iu Good Point in
The Auto-Car.
From England, ton schooled in
th science of rninuucturt and a
nation charactrrized by Hern and im
partial judgment ti products cre
ated by man and nichiner. comes
tribute to the Nih Six, the
strength of which lies in itt sincer
iiy. Owen John, British authority
on motor can, is the spokesman; the
Autocar, a llritith motoring journal,
it the medium through which he
speaks.
In the Auguit 20 itiue of the mac
aiine Mr. John deals with American
made motor cart in general and with
the Nash Six in particular. Follow
ing a description of the Nash, the
'j writer of the article quotes in price
delivered in England and then ex
' claima : "Value for the money, in
deed!" To thii he add: "I have
f owned and driven many Yankee earl
I in my time and I fancy it will take

porn at these before our home
i porductt can get on anything like
equal terms.
After citing the fact that he 'has
been driving a Nash Six cylinder
car, Mr. John says:
, "Standing at rest or sweeping
along at 55 miles per hour I cannot
i remember a tweeter engine; itspow-
er it glorious, its acceleration is
' swift without being violent and its
picking up abilities are all that could
be desired and nothing could be
more elegant than the way in which,
foot oft the throttle, the engine
comet into use as a brake. It has
a starter thin is quiet, its lamps give
i plenty of light and do riot rattle,
itt tires are big and its springing,
when the weight in the car is prop
erly distributed, would be hard to
; improve. Fast and quiet as it is

To Rob His Sleeping Victim

ienced pickpockets or "dips," as
hey are known to the underworld,
reneralty depend upon the dexterity
)f their fingers to' ply their trade,
: but some fellow here has introduced
i novelty in the manner in which
coins may be extracted from the
pockets. He uses a long bean pole
with two conveniently placed nails
n on end. Arnold White of Job,
W. Va., was relieved of $80 in cash
nd a gold watch valued at '$40 at
toe Dove's annex. It happened after
White went to bed and to sleep.
The pickpocket took ' a ladder,
climbed to the second story window,
thrust in his pole and extracted the
cash and the watch from White's
trouser'a pockets.
rcbitects Hard Hit
By Slump in Building
London. Sept 17. "Scores of
architects who before the war were
earning more than $10,000 a year
are now glad to accept office jobs
it $20 a week."
. - This remarkable statement was
nade by one of the leaders of the
rofestion in London.
"I know one young member of the
rrofestion," he continued, ''who.
despairing of finding employment, is
now making women's girdles, which
'ie sella to fashionable dressmakers.
Another it designing and manufac-
tunng fancy articles In leather.
"I believe architectt have been
harder hit than members of any
other profession by the widespread
titrea and unemployment."
Sir Banister Fletcher, the famous
archtttect, agreed with this view.
Horse Remembers Hospital; v
Goes Back for Treatment
Springfield, I1L, Sept. 17. Use of
tommon horse sense ofttimes is
valuable to horses as well as htt
nana.
A horse belonging to a farmer
four miles from here became ill 'with
Colic, kicked tha barn door away
and appeared at a horse hospital in
the city for treatment. Tne veterin
arian alter treating the horse remem
bered that about a year ago he had
treated it for the tame ailment The
owner taid had not taken tht
horse there during tha intervening
rctor, a change of motor generator,
a new dram device for the water
pump, a smaller rear axle housing,
a larger torque arm bearing and
new style of grease cup.
The new- model Cadillacs are all
equipped with smaller tires. The
standard size now t is 33x5. This'
change in the tire size is responsible
in part for the lowering of the cen
ter of gravity. .

Painter's Promptness in Quit
ting Work at Whistle
Is Cause.
Kiel, Sept. 17. In a shipyard
hire, a ship's painter was occupied
in painting the ship's name upon the
bow preparatory to the launching.
As the whistle blew to knock off
work, he promptly laid aside his
brushes and made for home. The fol
lowing morning, as the workers
streamed into the shipyard they saw
to their astonishment, in new, bright
ly painted colors upon the bowtfie.
name Wiihelm 11. - '
Invradiatcly there was great ex
citement throughout the yard. The
workers were furious and sent a
delegation demanding of the ship
owners, Wiihelm Ilclmsoth & Co.,
what they meant by christening a
new ship with the name of the
former kaiser. The owners, rather
puceled, explained that they had no
such intention but had named .the
ship after the firm's owner. Investi
gation then revealed that the whistle
had blown at the untimely moment
when the painter was about to paint
the btyr in the "H" of the name
Helmsoth and that the painter's
punctual stoppage of Work had left
the letter as a II.
The Workers were satisfied and
agreed to return to their work after
the painter completed his interrupted
job and the complete name of Wii
helm Helmsoth had been clearly
painted upon the bow.
Pipe and Liquor
Exhibits Warn of
Devil in Zion City
21 Bottles of "Hootch" to
Adorn Walls of Tabernacle
Well-Ripened Pipes 1
In "Zoo."
Zion City, 111., Sept. 17. An addi
tion to the faithful flock of Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, overseer of this city,
has been made, and with the new
convert has come an addition of the
tabernacle's "zoo."
Zion City's "zoo," wherein are ex.
hibited all the horrible devices con
ceived by man for his sinful pleas
ures, such as well ripened pipes,
cigarette stubs, cigarettes, and the
l:ke, is located alongside the organ
at Shiloh Tabernacle.
Now. to the other articles that
adorn the walls, are to be added 24
"blue devils." as they havi been
termed bv Overseer Voliva. Also,
one juicy looking pipe, that rost its
repentant owner $6, and another,
that "ain't so good," are to take their
places.
The new convert, when "sworn
"in;" brought alortg with him the two
pipes and 24 bottles of a well-known
relic of the days when headaches
were numerous and could be ob
tained at reasonable cost.
"Them there bottles cost tne $1.70
each, and it s good headache medi
cine too," the convert said as he
handed over the tell-tale evidence of
a life of sin.
The pipes and medicine were then
passed through the audience for ex
animation, a vote on the matter of
the smell of the pipe being unani
motis that it very favorably com
pared with that of the Chicago
stock yards, following which, Voliva
announced that the bottles would be
so placed upon the wall as to spell
blue devils, which, the overseer
said, would be very appropriate in
view of the fact that the bottles con
taining the effervescent revivifier of
days of the morning after, were of
blue glass.

been the greatest month in the his

seem to have had a tendency to

was surprisingly accelerated, in

But iust the reverse has happened I
In spite of the interruptions and
temporary delays due to the renewal
of contracts, the getting out ot new
models, and the establishing Of new
connections, the month of August is
third in point of the number of units

since the company came into existence.
Shipments were about eaally di
vided between speed wagons and

two solid trainload orders for the

Performance, the Buyer's Guide
In design, appointment and finish, Paige 6-66 models
challenge the most artistic achievements in motordom.
But really fine cars are measured by. performance not by
paint or price. Superiority must be revealed mainly in terms
of action.
Therein lies the significance of the attested records of Paige
6-66 models on track and hill not so much because of the
exceptional speed and power these records revealed, as for the
stamina they demonstrated.
Thid superiority of performance and guarantee of long life
have been the principal 'factors in shattering the "price
myth." From the standpoint of appearance, performance
and sound investment the Paige 6-66 easily determines for
the buyer the price he should pay for a truly fine car.
