An English paper bears this notice in large type on its cover: "When done with, this copy may be handed over the counter of any post-office-no packing, address, or postage being necessary. It will then be sent either to our brave sailors or to soldiers at the Front." This elimination of all trouble on the part of the benevolently inclined reader in disposing of his paper for the benefit of the defenders of the realm shows the readiness of the present British Government to take hold of new ideas.

"Many circuses have boxing kangaroos," says the National Geographic Magazine." "In nature, the kangaroo, when attacked and a line of retreat is not open, usually backs up against a tree and defends itself with its fore feet. Trainers turn this method of defense to their advantage by putting boxing gloves on the kangaroo's fore feet, and then training him in the manly art of self-defense; and the boxer who can break through a kangaroo's guard is a good one." "My West Indian colored maid," a subscriber writes, " sometimes uses queer English. The other day the chocolate pudding wouldn't come out of the utensil in which it had been baked;, in explanation, Lillian (why do some black people like names suggestive of whiteness?) said, 'I must have didn't wet the molds!""

An advertisement in a New York reads:

One who wishes to endear himself to his friends might well preserve their wedding invitations and recall the happy day to them by a suitable and in most cases probably an unexpected-gift.

The anonymous publication of books and articles has fallen into disfavor since the days when the literary world was at sea as to the authorship of "Waverley" and the English Reviews had no signed articles. Occasionally, however, a modest author likes to find out what the critics think of his writing apart from his personality as revealed by his name, and resorts to the old practice. Arthur Christopher Benson has done this with seven of his books, and four of these have been, he states, the most successful ones he has written. The latest to be so published is "Father Payne;" Mr. Benson has just acknowledged its authorship.

A woman's journal has started a department called "Help for the Motorist." It is conducted by a woman expert. Her answer to a question as to the most important points to be considered in buying an automobile gives an interesting side-light as to a woman's standpoint in judging a car. She says: "The most important points to be considered are: Expense, appearance, standard manufacture, power, flexibility, and accessibility." Query: Would a man put "power" before" appearance" in the above list?

The ebb and flow of immigration to this country presents curious anomalies. In November, 1916, according to the New York City Public Employment Bureau, forty per cent more immigrants entered New York than during either of the two preceding years. Yet the drain of the war on the population of the European countries continues unabated.

home for a pacer," a friend sends an auc tion placard announcing, among other arti cles to be sold, "Two Horses Household Furniture, One Round Oak Stove, Etc." These horses, being residents of Vermont, where winters are cold, seem to have had the forethought to provide themselves with a good stove. But what were the "Etc."? Possibly this was pronounced "Eats," and consisted of corn, fodder, oats, and other good things that an unfortunate horse family might be compelled to sacrifice at auction.

Ibid, a woman subscriber writes, has a rival in Anon as the author of familiar quotations. " My class," she says, was asked for criticisms on ten familiar poems. One girl wrote in her composition' that she preferred Anon's poems to those of Burns, Byron, Longfellow, or Whittier. Our professor said that, while he did not entirely share her preference for Mr. Anon, he thought she showed real independence in standing up for him, a new author whose name was not in Who's Who,' in preference to the classical authors mentioned."

New York City continues to grow, and with its increasing population comes an increased demand for hotel and amusement facilities. Seven new theaters in the Broadway district are to be built during the coming year, and half a dozen huge hotels, rivaling or surpassing in size the great caravansaries that are already among the sights of the metropolis.

George Bernard Shaw, in declining an invitation from the Drama League of America to visit this country, says of the suggested visit:

I cannot help asking myself whether it is not now too late. I could have come when I was young and beautiful. I could have come when I was mature and capable. I did not. I am now elderly and doddering. Could I live up to my reputation? If I were a modest man, I should not think of such things. Being notoriously an extremely vain one, they daunt me. I shall leave America its ideal unshattered. At least, unless I change my mind or attain such an age that my antiquity becomes an asset, and the author is played off the stage by the centenarian.

$1150 Model Also Now on Show

See the New Mitchell Junior
With Hundreds of Mitchell Extras

Now we invite you to see Mitchell Junior. A somewhat smaller
Mitchell-a $310 lower price than the 7-passenger Mitchell. But
And
with generous size and ample power for a 5-passenger car.
with all the exclusive Mitchell attractions, due to John W. Bate.

Another step in Mitchell efficiency appears in the new Mitchell Junior. We urge you to come and see it.

A 7-passenger car, to have ample power and ample room, can't be smaller than the $1460 Mitchell, which has won for itself one of the envied places in the motor world. But 40 horsepower is enough for a 5-passenger car. And a 120-inch wheelbase gives room enough-more than most cars give.

So the Mitchell factory this year also brings out Mitchell Junior. Not a new type-simply a size reduction. So a man who buys a Mitchell can get the size he

wants.

Thousands of these new cars have been run for months, on every sort of road. And they have proved themselves as perfect as the 7-passenger Mitchell car itself.

See the New Extras

In both Mitchell models there are hundreds of extra features. They give you at least 20 per cent extra value over any other car in this class.

These extras-most of them exclusive to Mitchells-are paid for by factory savings. They are the result of efficiency methods, applied by John W. Bate.

This great efficiency engineer_built and equipped this whole plant. Every method and machine is adapted to pro

ducing this car economically. These
methods have cut our factory cost in two.
Nowhere else is a car of this class built
anywhere near so low.

You will be amazed to see how many
extras these new-day methods pay for.

Double-Strong Parts

One result is the Mitchell standard of 100 per cent over-strength. That is, every vital part is twice as strong as need be.

The Mitchell standard used to be 50 per cent over-strength. That itself was extreme. The Mitchell car has always been a marvel of endurance.

But in the past two years, we have doubled this standard to give you a life

[blocks in formation]

time car. That fact is announced for the first time in the models now on show.

Over 440 parts are built of toughened steel. All parts which get a major strain are built of Chrome-Vanadium, and built over-size. We pay for steels in the Mitchell as high as 15 cents per pound.

31 Unique Features

There are also 31 extra features in Mitchells. That is, features which nearly all cars omit. Things like a power tire pump, reversible headlights, ball-bearing steering gear and never-broken springs.

These extras alone, on this year's output, will cost over $4,000,000. But all are paid for by these factory savings.

Many New Luxuries

Our new body plant gives us for this another enormous saving. All Mitchell bodies, open and enclosed, will be built in our own shops.

This saving enables us to add 24 per cent to the cost of finish, upholstery and trimmings. The finish coats are now heatfixed. A rare-grade leather is employed. A hundred new touches make today's Mitchell the handsomest car in its class.

Every Mitchell extra is something that you want. Nearly all are things you don't find in other like-class cars. They are things which can't be given without added price, save under Mitchell methods.

Come and see them. Judge for yourself what they mean to you. And see which size you like the best.

Diet and
Indigestion

Indigestion, constipation and the ills to which they lead cause more deaths than war, pestilence, and famine combined. Yet-these ills, and the pain and suffering they cause, are needless. This is fully explained in a new book called "Colon Hygiene," written by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Chief Medical Director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium and a recognized authority on the effect of diet on digestion. In his book, Dr. Kellogg tells you how to take care of yourself so as to avoid indigestion, constipation and the ills to which they lead. Only natural methods recommended. No drugs. Some diet restrictions, if you need them but-nothing difficult. A little exercise but-no tiresome régime. Proper attention to hours for rest, sleep, recreation and work. These are the important items. In his book, Dr. Kellogg, gives you full instructions. If you would be rid of indigestion, constipation and the ills to which they lead, send for this book today. The price is only $2. And-you take no risk, for if you are not entirely satisfied, the book may be returned at the end of five days, and we will promptly refund your money. Thus, we let you be the judge of this book. Over 400 pages, with many illustrations. Write for it today. Find out, at our expense, whether it can help you.

No Other Six Resembles
Hudson Super-Six

Don't Be Misled—It is a Hudson Invention

Sixes have come into renewed popularity since the Super-Six won the top place. But the Super-Six invention-controlled by our patentsadded 80 per cent to the six-type efficiency. And that 80 per cent is what gave it supremacy, when the V-types threatened to displace the Six

Late in 1915, remember, the Six was a waning type. Even the Light Six, which Hudson gave first rank, had revealed some vital engineering limitations.

It had not solved the problem of motor vibration.
It had not minimized friction and wear. Its endur-
ance had proved disappointing.

Sixes at that time held hardly a single record.
They were mostly held by Fours.

And leading engineers, including the Hudson, were
seeking a remedy in Eights and Twelves. At that
time the Six, for high-grade cars, seemed verging on
displacement.

What Saved the Day

It was the Super-Six invention, remember, which then saved the day for the Six.

Hudson engineers discovered the shortcoming. By a basic invention they corrected the fault. They ended nearly all the vibration. They doubled the motor's endurance. Thus they created a motor which has since won all the worth-while records.

But that doesn't mean that the old-type Six is any better than it was.

'Twas the Super-Six That Won

The Super-Six, in a hundred tests, has out-performed all other motor types. It has not merely broken records. It has made new records which, a year ago, no man considered possible.

It broke the 24-hour endurance record by 52 per cent. It broke the transcontinental record twice in one round trip. A Super-Six touring car went from

San Francisco to New York and back in 10 days and 21 hours.

It beat twenty famous rivals up Pike's Peak. It broke all stock-car speed records, and all for quick acceleration.

Then, after 7,000 record-breaking miles, it showed itself in new condition. Not a part or bearing showed evidence of wear.

No other motor ever built has shown anywhere near such endurance.

All By Saving Waste

The Super-Six develops no more power than other like-size motors. It simply delivers more. It almost eliminates motor friction and wear by ending nearly all the vibration.

That vibration, which wasted power, was the great fault of the Six. It is that which led to the Eight and Twelve as a possible solution. Any motor in which that fault remains can't compare with the Super-Six.

A New Gasoline Saver

The Hudson Super-Six, in endurance and performance, stands foremost in the world. The new-style bodies which we have created make the car look its supremacy. A new exclusive feature a gasoline saver-gives it this year another advantage.

It now outsells any other front-rank car. It has 25,000 enthusiastic owners, who know that no rival can match them.

You can prove in one hour, at any Hudson showroom, that this car deserves its place. And that no other car, at any price, can be classed with it. Do that before the spring demand overwhelms us.
