that the antagonism which would he

NASH PRICES
ARE REDUCED
Reduction Ranges from $150
to $250 on Different Mod-
els Effective July 2.
The Nash Motors Company an
nounces a reduction in the prices of
Nash passenger cars, both six and four
cylinder models, ranging from $150 to
$250. These prices, effective July 2,
according .to Harry Foster, sales man
ager of Carolina Nash Company, itra
as follows:
Five-passenger touring car, $1,545;
seven-passenger touring car, $l,Stic:
seven passenger sedan, $2,695; four
passenger coupe $2,395; two-passen?ar
roadster $1,525; four-passenger sport
model, $1,6625, Nash four- ftve-passeii'
ger touring car $1,195; two-passenger
roadster $1,175; three-passenger coup.
$1,785; four-passenger sedan $l,9!Ui.
Jn a. statement given out by C. ,
Nash, president of the Nash -Motor n
Company, and considered " one of th'j
country's highest authorities on cth;
cient and economical manufacturing,
he reported that these reductions ro'p
iesent lowered production costs in the
big Nash plants at Kenosha and Mil
waukee. They are handed on to the
public because it has always been the
policy of the Nash Motors Company
j to give buyers the benefltR of savings
accomplished tnrough operating econ
omy. "We Tiavc always believed," sa.'d
Mr. Nash, ''that no man or institution
which did not always deal fairly and
squarely with tho public could long sur
vive. "I take no small pride in the cars
that bear my name and yet I honest1 y
believe that our frank and open way
of taking the public into our confidence
has played as important a part in our
success as has the goodness of ou;
product.
"For instance, last fall when thrs
was a concerted and country-wide feo.
ing that prices along all lines shoulii
be reduced, we were in absolute sym
pathy with the movement.
'And yet there was simply no prac
tical method by which to accomplish
it so far as Nash cars were concern
ed, because we would not sacrifice qual
ity. "So we immediately came out frank
ly and told why we could not reduce
prices until at least July 1.
"I am very certain that our courre
at this time convinced those who read
the statement that the Nash Motors
Company was doing the commendable
thing.
"You see our prices during the four
years prior to last October had risen
only 31 per cent and the average
price increase for all cars was 76 per;
cent. j
"Nash prices were not inflated be
cause in addition to hoding our "pric3
Increase during this time to 31 per
cent we found ways and means of
holding the cars even better.
"We are never content to stand sti'.l
up here and we are constantly work
ing to develop further improvement
and refinements for Nash cars.
"And we committed ourselves pub
licly to continue to pursue our pohcy
of steadily building a better value and
holding to our prices until a reduction
could be effected through new econo
mies in production which we were even
then originating.
"The latest labor and time-saving
devices were secured and every energy
was bent toward accomplishing thesi
economies as rapidly as possible.
"Now we come forward with these
reduced prices and at the same time
offer an even more valuable car.
"We have kept our word and we
have also worked out the price reduc
tion matter in a manner that gives
the. greatest possible benefit to ou-:
buyers."

The Art of Piano Playing
Will Ever Hold Its Charm
Despite the easy means of producing good music there is that about
the individual ability to play the piano which will never lose its
charm, It is still a graceful and delightful accomplishment, and ever
will be,
It affords you as a, player the opportunity to inject your own ties
ings, character and personality into each interpretation. It is an ac
complishment which promotes the social success of its possessor and
never fails to carry with it an . element of admiration and popularity-
To those wh oenjoy the personal production of music in its highest
form, the IVERS & FOND PIANO makes an instant appeal. Its ele
gance of appearance, purity of tone, beauty of design and finish, to
gether with the splendid value it presents, make it the instrument to
be desired above all others,

disparaging the value of newspaper pub

and so unthinkable in the. view of the
indispensable service newspapers have
always given the Red Cross, I am tele

HOUSE WILL GET
NEW TARIFF BILL
From Committee This Week;
Proposed Duties Will be
Public Wednesday.
By HERBERT WALKER.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Washinngton, June 25. The Republi
can protective tariff bill will come forth
from the House waj-s and means com
mittee next week to face a growing
sorm of opposition to many of the
rates.
Representative Fordney. chairman of
the committee, announced today that
the new duties, which probably will
average somewhat higher than those
of the last Republican tariff the
Pavne-Aldrich law of 1909 will hs
made public Wednesday. He predicted! All kinds of automobile repair

Harding will start the work of revising
the revenue laws.
TO YIELD $600,000,000.
The bill, which is one of the major
tasks of the special session, will yield
approximately $600,000,000 a year, Re
publicanpublicaii members of the com
mittee estimate, while the present low
Democratic fates, with decreasing im
ports, probably will not return more
than $300,000,000 this year.
The measure was virtually completed
today with some of the rates bn dyes
Still undecided, but it is said that these
will be agreed upon early next week.
Then the Democratic members of the
committee will be called in and the
bill approved over their opposition.
After that, indications are that the path
of the measure will be stormy.
FACES STORMY PATH.
A caucus of Republicans of the
House has been called for next Thurs
day night, when efforts will be made
to iron out differences of opinion. The
first of these will be lumber duties
which have been under fire from Re
publican insurgents. Leaders of this
revolt claim the caucus will reveal a
sufficient opposition against these rates
to secure their defeat with the assist
ance of the Democrats.
The main claim is that the high rates
are unnecessary and will hinder the al
leviation of the housing shortage
througout the country. Other attacks
will be made on the dye, hides, oil and
wool schedules,' but Fordney hopes to
have the measure up on the . floor by
July 6.
Although the bill may be rushed
throusrh the House, it is estimated that
it will not become law until late in
the fall at the earliest because of prob
able delays in the Senate and in con
ference. House leaders virtually have decided
to abandon plans to put the tariff rates
into effect as an emergency measure
shortly after the. bill is reported, as

The pew perfect of police here, who
recently issued an order that the sexes
should be separated in the audiences
at movie theatres, has now amended
the order as follows:
Two-fifths of the space available for
the audience will be reserved for wo
men and children; one-half of the re
maining three-fifths will be reserved
for men and children; the other half of
the three-fifths will be for both sexes.
Red lights must be kept on at all

. The order goes on: Anyone over ten
years of age who is found in a part of
the house where he does not belong
will he liable to a fine of not less than
ten dollars.
There is considerable consternation
among the courting couples of the city.
BUNGALOW PRICES DROPPING
Chieago, June 25. Building costs
on small homes have decreased 20 per
cent in the last year, according to Bar
ton O'Toole, of the Chicago Real Estate
Board and head of the "Own Your
Home" movement.
O'Toole also declared that present
costs were still 50 per cent higher, than
those existing four years ago. He pre
dicted an end to the building tie-up and.
brighter prospects for people desiring
to build their own homes.
"A brick bungalow which cost $3,450
four years ago could be erected a year
ago for $6,500- Now it can be built for
$5,250. These comparative costs hold
good for . other lines of building ef
forts," he said. -
