McCabe and (Slice's More which
had become somewhat out of date,

Across the street lie would find
Mitchell's altered to fit the mod
ern taste ill store design with
deeper and larger show windows,
tile lobby's and marble trim. The
antra uce to the Bee Hive build
ing, would aj?|ii'iir to him modern

Around the co r nur o u . X\u f n dexv!
tor street and just back of Mir- 1
chell'H the returning traveler,
would lie surprised to miss the
old shabby wooden sharks which
for many years occupi. d a lot on
I'oiiiu. \ter and Matthews streets.
In their place he would find a
modern brick buildinc occupied by;
the Quality iiakery. the Auto SupT
ply and Vulcanizing Company!
and perhaps by that time another
firm.
On Water street across the
street from the lluxton White
Seed Company he would find a
large modern brick structure'
which by the time the traveler re
turns may be the headquarters
for two active business houses.
^Thls building would present quite
a different aspect thnn when he
left It the home of the C. II. Ilob
Ilnson wholesale dry goods firm.
__-Tiear Camden bridiUJ ami also,
on Water street the prodigal
would rub his eyes when he be
jx" Id another modern brick build
Tiig en what he left a vacant lot.
Here he would find the Tidewa
ter Hti'ck Company, and It. K.
l^wis Plumbing Company and N.
H. Williams doing business.
Across the street he would no
flee that the Auto and (.as En
gine Works had stretched out ov
er considerable territory by add
ing; another unit to its plant. I
Tf he wanted to send a tele- '
gram he would find the little
Western I'nion office on Fearing
street no longer echoing the click
ing of telegraph instruments, and
on inquiring his way he would
?come tr? the fine two story irnttrt-~|
Ing which is now being completed
for the Joint occupancy of the |
telephone and telegraph compa
nies on Ttoad s|ri?et near Main.
If he waited long enough he '
might also find a new apartment
house with several retail stores at
the corner of Main and Road
and perhaps also a new business
building on Matthews and McMor
rlne streets which will prohnhly
be erected shortly by W. II. Lain
bert.
If the returned resident could
stand any more surprise* he could
add considerably to the ||*t of
new buildings given here by a
"inn in rim un mf wmiaBBH feS |

are under construction. He would
find some attractive and suhstan

The anthracite operators have
advanced the price of coal at the
mines but competition among
retail distruhutors is already so
keen that dealers in most cases
have absorbed this inc rease them
selves and have not passed It on
#o the consuming public.
About $ 2Ti.000.000 has been
"a veil to the Government through
a recent decision of the Federal
Court .in Philadelphia. Judgo
Dickinson, who handed down the
de< ision held that the government
which confiscated coal during the
war to run the railroads could
pay the mine owners at the rates
fived by tjhe fuel administration
and not at the export rates cur
rent at the time th" coal was
seized: The export ra try In most
eas?s. were far higher and this
cut large sums off the war's fuel
bill.

'/?\UT of sight, out of mind, lady", says the old
Vv' time Fleet Boss. "You've got to remember
to keep your clutch collar lubricated, keep your
clutch adjusted right, and have the clutch cleaned
out occasionally, even if you can't see it woHc. If
you let it slip along, you waste power. If it grabs,
you strain your whole car. Adjustment and the
right oil will cut down these trips to the shop."
"Standard" Polarine oils in the motor also lubri*
cate most clutches properly without extra atten
tiory. A little neats foot oil on your leather cone
clutch will case the grabbing. There are other
"Standard" lubricants for clutch collars and wet
type clutches. While "Standard" Polarine motor
oils deservedly outsell every other brand in this
state, they are by no means the only "Standard"
products you need to know. "Standard"-ize your
lubrication throughout for real satisfaction.
