KEEP UP THE GRACES OF PUBLIC SPEECH There perhaps is not the inspiration today to oratory that there once was, in this country. Oratory is the child of inspiration. It is born of conditions which have spontaneous impulse for eloquent speaking. There are so many distractions today that oratory is not rated as an essential of ultra-modern life. This fine grace should not be permitted to perish from the earth. Boys and girls should be trained in public speaking. Those who have especial gift of speech should be given especial encouragement to develop their oratorical talents. The competitive speaking, throughout the country, in laudation of the United States Constitution, has been of salutary influence in promoting oratorical gifts among the people. It various institutions of learning, throughout the country, there are attractive prizes for oratory. These things are helpful. In every community, oratory should be prized and should be given public recognition and encouragement. Talents in this line should be praised and public appreciation should be given those who display exceptional forensic abilities. What ever advancement may come, in any direction, there always will be need of eloquence in public speaking. The man of small income is to be envied. He gets the biggest percentage of reduction in his taxes. He will appreciate this. EARNESTNESS LIFE'S KEYNOTE The person who lacks earnestness in life lacks the secret of real living. The inspired writer sets it down this way: "Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit." This is the need EARNESTNESS LIFE'S KEYNOTE The person who lacks earnestness in life lacks the secret of real living. The inspired writer sets it down this way: "Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit." This is the need of modern life—freedom from slothfulness; fervency in business. Fervency is reality. The fervent person is intense. Intensity betokens life. Sloth is slow death. Earnestness need not shut out all brightness and cheerfulness. Far from it. Some of the most earnest persons are notably cheerful and genial. This sometimes is called the "jazz" age. Some think that in almost every walk of life there is frenzy of some form—that present day life is not normal and well-balanced. This, perhaps is an extreme view. But there is much frivolity and frenziedness in pursuit of pleasure to the exclusion of serious endeavors. In these things, life should be balanced. So much of earnest useful effort, so much of wholesome pastime. There should be neither extreme in working too hard and too incessantly, or in the other extreme—playing too much and shirk ing the serious work of life. This session of Congress adjourns with the conviction strong upon the country that it has dallied inexcusably and has failed to accomplish, in good time, what it should have accomplished with reasonable promptitude.

Volatility in gasoline is its ability to mix with air—to vaporize rapidly when passing from the carburetor into the cylinder of the motor. This means quick starting. Good judgment must be used so that other essential qualities are not sacrificed for too much volatility. A mighty happy medium has been established in the refining of Pauley’s Eureka Gasoline. Exacting motorists and garagemen, dependable service stations know that it is “just right.” You, too, will be one of its enthusiastic boosters after your first tankful.

UNSHINI DELLETS DR. W. P. THOMSON Grandmother Duncan, justing her specs, sure have it bobbed, grand-dad objects." Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying CHARACTER BEFORE RICHES—Sacramento Bee The two murderers in the terrible Frank's case of Chicago have confessed their crime in all its loathsomeness. They are not old criminals with police records, but youths only 19 years old, exceedingly well educated from wealthy families. Yet they nonchalantly tell how they planned their crime for nine months, carefully selected their victim, crushed in his skull, stripped the boy of clothes, choked him to death and tried to mar his features with hydrochloric acid. This pair of murderers are college graduates, one with a postgraduate degree, speaking 13 languages, the youngest student ever to obtain that honor from the University of Chicago. No ingenious defense attorney can sobbingly picture their youth in a filthy hotel, their bodies starved for food, their minds debauched by their surroundings, in an endeavor to blame society for their crime. Instead, they had all the advantages that education, money and position could give. What they are they made themselves. The families of the murdered boy and of his two murderers possessed among them some $25,000,000 which are supposed to represent the acme-of-happiness in this world. The fathers of the murders, like fathers the country over, worked, strove and saved, that upon their death they might leave their sons in affluence. And like many families, intent upon gathering money, they probably forgot to give their boys character. Between raising your children with character and leaving them a million dollars the wise parent chooses character every time, for money purchases evil as well as good, while character, like a rock, endures through all things. Far better that your son have character; that he know there is a God in the heavens; that there is right on the earth, than that he speak 15 languages and earn ten thousand a year. Probably no one in Chicago is more horribly shocked by the murders than the fathers of the two murderers, who awake too late to knowledge of the paths their sons have been traveling. In this case the paths should lead to an ignoble and merited death on the gallows.

Palisades Station, Los Angeles, California A history maker— A history maker—and still the Leader! THE STUDEBAKER Light-Six—a history maker—the first fine six-cylinder car under 3,000 pounds at a four-cylinder price. A car with followers, imitators and adapters by the score—but with no rival in quality, popularity or sales volume. It is still the Leader! A car built to fulfill the ideal of producing the greatest automobile value in the $1,000 field—the car which started the stampede from fours to sixes. A car with a specially designed offset valve motor of remarkable quietness, economy, freedom from vibration—and with tenacious resourcefulness of power on the hills, the straightaway and the pickup! A car comfortable, roomy, good-looking, very easy to handle on the road, in traffic or in parking—long-lived, low in first cost and especially low in up-keep costs. The market’s one best bargain for the man who wants all the car he can get at about $1,000. A car that is an investment, not an expense, because it can be bought on very liberal terms, sold or traded in at a very high resale value on a market always ready and waiting for a used Light-Six Studebaker—its popularity and demand as a used car are the most convincing evidence of its goodness as an automobile.
