About the only consolation the Democrats have lies in the fact that all’s not well with the Republicans. Republican politics is in the air, too. This Is ('.rrlainly a '( orkryrtT Sit nation Labor There have been a lot of explanations of ; the slump in the commodity market. The most ominous comes from Secretary of Agri | culture Anderson. He says the grain gamb lers discovered in some way that the gov ernment was about to ease up on its purchas es of wheat and other commodities for Euro pean relief. In other words, was going to stop giving away so much! The gamblers immediately began to “sell short’' that is they bet that prices would go down, and they ! did go down. It the Secretary is right, then American prosperity is based on a vcr\ insecure foun dation. Unless we continue to give away to the peoples of other nations billions of dollars worth of the things we produce we aie likely to “nosedive” into another do pi ossion! We must remedy that. We must arrange our economy so Americans can consume so much of the things they produce we will not have to worry about surpluses. To us, there is something silly about the idea of a husky nation, like ours, producing itself into puver tv and hard limes. ISv(>alivv it lion Under the Marshall Plan, the United States is planning t > make available be tween five and six billion dollars tor Euro pean Recovery. While Conge ss -squabbles over the details, diplomats are i looting in Condon, discussing means <1 h Iding (ler many in cheek. While we sell arms to the Ji ws in Pales tine, Britain is seling arms to tin Arabs. The oil interests apparently are ready to sell peace short in the name of Arabian oil. Dur ing the meantime the debate waxes warm over partitioning Palestine. They have got around to just abotlt every thing on the world front except Peace. Stifft’SH No man is a success tor more than a min ute the minute in which he completes a successful job. You may make a successful speech or be the author of a successful sales drive or play a successful round of golf. But as soon as the applause dies down, the world raises the ante on you and says, "Now let’s see you do it again and better." There is no such thing in life as standing still. You art' either on the way up or on the way down. These thoughts are borrowed from a leaf i let. "Thou Can’t Coast,” put out by one of the I country’s largest advertising agencies. Their r*pplu dtion to business is obvious. Up? Or Down? One thing is certain. 1! you try to “coast" by resting on past achievements, good as they may be. it is a foregone conclusion in which direction you will move. The man i who gets ahead is not the one who is satis | tied merely with what he has already done, 1 r.or is he necessarily dissatisfied. But he is | unsatisfied. John Clark.

Improved Design—combines medal-winning beauty of line with such practical advantages as wider seats, greater visibility, and the safety of a lower center of gravity. Improved Engineering—that means a new distribution of mass and load; the rear seat set well forward of the rear wheels; better road-ability; a higher ratio of horse power to weight; greater riding comfort and safety; maximum service accessibility. JP Improved Performance—the result of ultra-modern en- V gine design and more horsepower to weight. It means Suicker get-away, more rapid acceleration, fatigueless riving. Improved Roominess—both seats two inches more than five feet wide — comfortable relaxation for six adults; plenty of leg and head room; extra baggage space! ^ . __ M Improved Ride—result of placing the passenger load between the front and rear wheels, and lower to the ground. The "soft" springs are controlled by new air plane-type shock absorbers. You get a "cradled' ride you have never known before at any price! Improved Safety—result of better visibility (larger windshield and rear window), super-adequate, easy acting, fully-hydraulic brakes, super-abundant power finger-tip steering. , ** , Improved Economy—result of high-compression, 100 horsepower, 6-cylinder, L-head engine, and a low weight-per-horsepower that delivers unbelievable miles per gallon of gas, is miserly in the use of oil. Improved lose of Control—you can drive all day without tiring. Car steers itself on the straightaway hugs the road on curves! 1' I^VISER Frazer E V A N GRIFFIN Owners JESSE HEATH "SS ■ ^ 2«ii | H g?
