During tho pniit two yenrn tha Industry has gone throiiRli a settling proceis. Many weak con cernH have been weeded out by tho unescnpable law!

There In no longer nn opportunity for rtonen. tlonnl entrances and ucceeii In this lndutry. The dcslro for novelty, once a point of strength with the public, senmn to havo worn off. The thing demanded today In durability coupled with the certainty that repairs can not only be had with ease, but also at reasonable cot. Tho repair question hitherto has not been Klven the Importnnco tt rihould alivnyn hnvo commanded. reople did not understand that the beautiful, shiny thing- beforo them would ever need repairs. It In predicted that within n. short time this repair point will command much moro nttontlon from manufacturers; that they will even advertise It, and will thus h,o forced to retreat from the hlthorto uncon scionable prices charged for repairs and repair nervlce. It has Ions been axiomatic among sophisti cated motorists that any person could afford to buy a car, but that darned fow could afford to koep one up. And It Is true that thousands of earn have gone out of ncttve service and other thousands to tho ncrnp heap or Into mcond and third hands, purely because ot this repair ques tion. One of the most popular motor vehicles on the market today socured itn lead and has managed to maintain that lead very largely be cause ot the economy In repairs required for It, nnd the certainty with which thewo repairs could bo had everywhere. There seems little question that motor dom Is coming Into a period ot greater genuine prosperity for manufacturers, as uoll as greater values for owners. And the word economy ex plains It all. Kvory InduMry, sooner or later, faces tho problem ot eliminating wante nnd un necessary expense In ordor to establish Itself on tho solid rock of public: confidence and re spect.

Theo dore Uoosovolt, not because ot similarity, bu( contrast. When that popular hero of the Spafi-lsh-Amcrlcnn war rcturnod to his native, soil to be hoisted Into tho cxecutlvo mansion at Al bany, he wns confronted with a. serious problem, l'latt, tho greatest ot all political bosa.es. was supremo lit tho Hmplro state. IMatt and Itoose velt, becauso of their natures, no loss than their vlowpolnt of tho publla service, wore about as harmonizing ns oil and water. Koosovclt, at all times practical, at all times trilling to mako tho best of conditions and take what ho could It unablo to get all that ho da-j-lrod, was confronted with tlio practical neces ulty of getting along with IMatt or fighting tho l'latt Influence In tho legislature. So, nt a breakfast with tho Now York boss. In answer to o question ho replied: "Sonstor, certainly I will consult you on all appointments; ns fnr as possible I will allow you to nanio tho men. but I rcscrvo tho right to tlx the standard to bo met." No safer or saner doctrine was ever enunciat ed, l'rnctlcnl politics calls for recognition of Important political characters bosses It you please; but that docs not mean that the first wish of the boss Is to bo mot by the appointing putter, whether that power bo a president, a jrovcrnor or a mayor. Tho concorn of the boss, or lender, is that tho organization bo recognized nnd strengthened by tho dlsponser of pitron ugu: tho only concorn of tho appointing power should bo that tho man uppolnted t,o qualified to render efficient service while possessed of n disposition above corruption nnd graft. Therefore under nil circumstances, It should bo easy for the political leader snd the ap pointing powor to get slung comfortably under the Koosevelt rule the appointing power to fix tho stnndard, the leader to name the man. Kvery political lendnr has friends deserving recognition who would ornament the publla service nnd reflect fredlt upon the parly. They can ha required to recommend such men, In stead of the dlircputaiiles that are ton fre. quently foisted on the pnrty and the publh nervier). And when the standard Is properlr fixed nnd properly adhered to by tho appoint ing power, thn reasonable purification of poll tics will no longer bo nn Irrldescent drenm. It In a mntter of general knowlcdgn that Roosevelt nnd 1'lntt weto nt tho .breaking point frequently hecnuso of ItoosnvelVs refusal to nanm somo illsreputnliln character the senator wnnted appointed, lint thn man of Iron did not bend, Iln forced the polllMun to recom mend honest, capable men, nnd thn publla serv. len wnn thus Improved, the pnrty thus strength ened nnd public scandals nvohli-d. Theso obsorvntlonn nro mndo apropos of nothing In pnrtleuler, yet they find nn Itistnnt nppllcntlon In the serloun difficulties the Hard Ing ndmlnlstrntlnn now finds ItsHf In with ret erenee to nppolntnienls. There Is an Impres sion nbrond that the appointments of tha pres ent national ndmlnlstrntlnn have, In ninny In stances, been of nn unusual Indefensible nature. Men of soiled reputation, of exceeding poor re pute, Iinvn bfen iilngleil out for distinction, through tho nctlvlly of senators and politician-!. It Is true Hint senator nnd polltlcliins must be given llbernl recognition In such matters. Hut It Is equally true Hint tho president should establish tho standard In nil sueh onss ami fnrco bin pnrty nssorlnton nnd sub-lendnrs to offer him men above reproach and scandal, n'n owes this to his country first of nil; then to his pnrty nnd Inst to himself, llecnuso no president will ever rise hlghor than tho menn standard ot hla appointments; Inevitably tho type of imn selected by thn nppnlnllng power to ndmlnlster government will, In thn publla mind, fix tho stnndnrd ot the nppritntlug power llwlf. It Is a bit difficult to condonu tho appoint ment of those St, I.ouls men who wero Im portant factors In tho !.oviien scandal during tho Inst cnmpiilgn. To hoar n senator pleading for the recognition of olio ot theso men Is to at lenst suggest that either Hint senator Is blunted to tho enormity of tho offense committed by tho man, or Hint tho party In Hint vicinage Is bereft ot rrodltablo material; neither of which alternatives nro wo willing to admit. Bo long an such men nro selected fnr honor able distinction In nny party, Just so long will every parly bn on thn defenslvo with tho pub llo nnd a thing to bn merely tolerated by prldo fut men who still ndhern to honorable prac tices without becoming offensively finicky.

He must work fast, for thers wre many things to do. From his store window he watched the steady stream of thrifty buysrs entering the Pioneer Stores, across the street, to take advantage of the special sale, at prices below cost, and therefore below his prices. He took up the telephone and called the rival manager. "Tbls Is Rasher speaking. I see you're still selling below cost. 1 low long do you propose to nbstaln so nobly from profiteering?" There was a dry laugh. " Not getting worrlod, are you?" "That depends on your answer." "Well, Mr. Rasher, since you nsk, 111 say that we shall soil nt any price we please for as long u wo please. Is that ull?" "BUM determined to freeze me out?" "Don't forget. Rasher, you started this fight." "All right. And don't you forget that I'll win It." "You'll win III Ha lis! Where do you get that sturr? " Hut Rssher did nut slop to listen to tho laugh ter at the other end of tho wire. The Pioneer people were still chuckling when their attention was caught by n Urge placard that Rasher himself was placing In his window. "The Eight Per Cent Store Closes Tonight." It read. " Our prosperous rival across the street is selling below cost to freete us out. We decline lo sell below cost. Customers have no right to expect It. As wo cannot make a fair proIU, wa shall close HUT the minute tho Pioneer Stores raise their prices above what Is fair and reasonable. THIS STORK WILL REOPEN. THI8 IS NOT A IILUFF." A similar notice wan also distributed to every home In Adamant, together with a list of comparative prices tho Pioneer's original price. Rasher's reduced price, end the Pioneer's "below cost" price. "Study these prices nnd sco how soon the Tloneer people attempt to work back to their old scale!" All this hid a very disturbing effect on some of the Pioneer crowd. " Perhaps we'd better buy him off," they urged. Rut James Stabh, the silent partner, read the notice with characteristic contempt. " Pure bluff." hn said. " Rasher's busted. He can't open his confounded store again, and la trying to bold us up with his damned blackmailing eoheme. I'll ee him In hell before I'd offer htm a cent Pay no attcn Hon to him. Only, tie careful not to advance our prioe too suddenly, Contlnuo the present cut rate, for two or three days and tell the people we're taking loan on noma overstock. Then boost them' gradually." Three days later tho prices were raised above cost, and by the end of the week they had edged up above Rasher's scale of what was fair. The Pioneer peopl were giving glib reasons for tho advance, and the in. dlgnant townspeople realized for the first time the significance to themselves of the tight nasher had been making. In many a household sorrow was expressed lhat Hasher had been frozen out Probably many a prayer was uttered ln lowly homes, and, ns though ln answer, there came In the night the rumbling of heavy trucks to replenish the stock of the Eight Per Cent Store, and bright und early Monday morning Its doors stood open again. This entirely unexpected move struck consternation in the hearts of the rival store. His confidential agent lost no time In reporting to Stabb, who for once found himself shaken. It wns bis habit to make quick de cisions and stick to them, right or wrong, lie was amazed now to nnd himself uncertain and Irresolute. Ha took refuge In anger. " He'a crnzyl " he exclaimed. " He can't keep up this opening and shutting his confounded place every few days like a Jack-in-the-box! It takes money to play that game, and he hasn't got It." " Rut you said ho wouldn't open It thts time," pre tested the agent. Stabb glared at htm. " We'll have to reduce our prices again," he asserted. "He's putting us In an awful hole with the people." As a result of this conferenco the Pioneer prices were again cut and placards announcing Uie tact were posted. But the people only read nnd laughed, and then went acros to tho Eight Per Cent Store to buy. Rasher had once more assumed ln the eyca of the people the symbolUm of good luck, and success wa assured to his store. The Pioneer people began gloomily to contemplate certain ruin, no matter what their price, when, sud donly and without any warning, Rosber closed hi store again. Clubs Hy NORA COLE SKINNER ..iVni.- i T ' Fo E&j(a,.iJ the Thero Is no more modern fenturu 111 our Miclul lite than clubs, clubs of nil kinds. Wo find them in tho big Itles, In tho mall towns, nnd, thntikn to Henry nl, wo find m In the Nor,C.oS.,.n.,cr-un.ry,( where porhapi more than any other place. Whei'.' you rub elbows with peo plo from day to day lu business and social life you do not need clubs ns whero you nro necessarily cut oft from your fellow beings a greater portion of tho time. Rut wherever noli ehooso to cost your lot, mem bership in nt least ono club is ot gtent benefit. If you do much brain work n plensure club will do you good; It your business requires close appli cation but Is mora or less mechani cal, a study club combining some social nctlvlty answers tbu need! If n wolntin with many homo cares (nil women should havo some homo cures), then any kind of club Hint suits your tnstn and can bo most enjoyed Is In order. Housekeeping nnd homemnklng requlro almost all ot n woman's re sources, und Is confining. Tho as sociation nf kindred splrltti, with the exchange of ideas resulting, widens tho horizon. Ono flno result of the club age Is tho spit It of co-operation and friendliness which is cultivated. Whether tho clubs bo for. service for study, or primarily for social pleasures only, they tenth team work, it comradeship of givo ami tnke, and a certain toleranco which everybody must needs havo to somo degree. Slnco tho war nil the clubs, even tho purely social, hava taken on now tone, tho tono, of service. It used to be that this wnn left wholly 10 tho missionary society, the la dles' aid ard tho organized chari ties, but thero Is scarcely 11 meeting of nny of tho clubs now, for men or women, that somo good deed Ih not done, rionio good Idea, not pnssed ,on. Much has been accomplished by tho team work Inslilo of clubs unit by tho en-operntlon of tho various clubs. When a big movement such its h health campaign or a, drlvo for charity Is In progress. It In then wc see what a power for good clubs can be. Through tho clubs women nro posting themselves on politics ns they havo never done bofore, and It 11 necessary since they, too, cast the ballot, for they must nppronch tho pulls with the light of Intelligence ln their eyes. Especially Is It neces sary slnco they aro represented as netunlly holding thu balalico ct power In their hands. Men can no longer call It a wom an's pastime, this club business, for they havo, taken up the habit as In tensively as hnvo women. Practi cally all Hint they enter Into are organized for scrvlco and mutual betterment. U Is sweeping tho country, this club movement, and it Is a good move, Tho one great danger now Is that hnvlug seon how good clubs can be, wo turn loose and club our selves to death. HELEN HUNTER'S HUSBAND I)y Jnno Phelps CHAPTER XXXI. Jack Makes a Faux Pas. Friday night came, nnd with It, Howard Dunn. Helen greeted him cordially and ho seemed very pleased to see her again. She had taken great pain with the dinner, and Jack was very proud of her easy manner. "A born hostess," ha said to him self, figuratively "slapping himself on tho back," ns the saying Is, when one I. satisfied they have dono 11 wise thing. He surely had been lucky In his choice If only he could earn enough to satisfy hor. Helen looked very dainty ns sho sat at tho htod ot the table, She had put on n drrst a bit low In the neck and without sleeves. After a bit tho talk, ns It will when two men In tho same lino get together, turned upon insurance, ."Your husband turnod n neat trick tho other day when ho landed old Turnbull for that big policy. Bev. crnl of the oys havo tried to get him and failed." "Yes?" Helen said nonchalantly, darting a keen glance at Jack who had flushed uncomfortably. "Ho will not get many such poli cies theso hard times, none ot us do. So forglvo him If he crows a little over this rno." "I certainly shall!" There was a hard tone ln Helen's volco that Jack had learned to dread. She didn't look quite so attractive to him, he felt a little ot hi' prldo In her ebbing, Dunn changed the subject, nnd talked with Helen of the playa she had seen, t cetera, whllo Jack fid glted and thought: "Why didn't I warn Dunn about speaking of Turnbult's policy? 1 wish I hadn't asked htm up to Tin ner. A nice mess 1 have mado ot things! I'll catch tt after he goes," and a lot more things unc mplt montary o htmiclf. It wa about 10 o'clock when Dunn left, after promising Helen to come again soon, "Indeed, I shall como every tirao you ask me," he tal with a smile. "An old Inch appreciates such din ners, I can tell you." "Show that you do by coming often," Helen beamed upon him. "Thinks sho'll find out about my business f. rough him," Jack said to himself ns he heard her reply. The door tlosed after their auest. "Now for tho dishes!" Jack said quickly. Perhaps she hadn't taken In vylmt Dunn had said as complete ly at he feared. "We'll talk a little whllo first." Helen sold In that tono ho dreaded. "I want to know about that Turn bull policy. How much was It for?" "Fifteen thousand," Jack did not dare llo to hor. She wns capnblo of doing anything to find out. "How many more havo you writ ten that you haven't told mo about?" "Not one!" "Why didn't you tell me of that one?" "ltccniifo you inslrt upon spend ing every cent I can rake nnd scrnpo. I am worried half to death when I think of what would happen If I were ill.' "You look healthy enough!" she spoke sarcastically, her lips pressed together. "I did It for your sake, banked It so we'd l.ave a penny for a, rainy tiny." HI. tono wa apologetic.
