LONDON, September 1.—London mu- nicipalities are faeing new &nd, dif- |flcull social problems through the de- mands being made by the unemployed. class districts, such as Woolwich and Poplar, where there are labor majorities on the local boards. The present demands insist that instead of the small amounts ordinarily pald by the boards of guardians for what is known as out- Idtmr poor relief—8 to 12 shillings for N|a man and 4 to 6 shillings for each child, where the man {s unemployed— an amount virtually equivalent to what the man’ would receive for his full work shall be paid for himself, wife and children. S Impossible to F'1ll All Demands. As in some of these districts there are from 20,000 to 30,000 unemployed, and at the end of July, in addition to more than 54,000 inmates of work- houses and infirmaries, there were over 132,000 persons receiving outdoor relief, it would be impossible for the municipalities to pay such demands without an enormous addition to the burden of rates. 7 Some of the boards, however, pos- have been acceding to the demands in part and paying on a generous scale.

Thirty labor members of the Poplar borough council, headed by George Lansbury, editor of the Dally Herald, the national lubor paper, have resisted an order of the high court requiring them to raise rates to pay the call of the London county council and various departments dealing with education, drainage of roads and other services for the whole of London, on the ground that they are heavily bur- dened with the malntenance of the poor and unemployed in this, one of London's poorest districts, and de- cline to saddle the borough with anything further until the reform of the laws which compel each borough to provide for its own poor while the rich districts escape this burden.

W Westcott for $ 2090 \ No course of reasoning could lead a wise car owner to purchase a’ smaller or less powerful cafat this time—when he can get a car of Westcott quality at such prices as go into effect tomorrow. The luxurious 7-passenger Westcott, for instance, which has been selling recently for $2990 and a year ago was $3190, will (beginning tomorrow) be priced at $2090. The smart 5-passenger touring, which was $2690, will be $1890. Other models reduced proportionately. While the quality and completeness of the Westcott have not been cut a penny, the reductions as against last year’s prices will range all the way up to $1300. All War Increases Wiped Out Westcott has gone at the task of lowering costs with determination. The object has been at any sacrifice to reach, promptly, a stable and satisfactory level of prices. ‘This has been done by anticipating the lowered parts-costs, which will not actually be in effect until 1922. The reductions here announced amount to as much as the increases which we were forced to make during the entire three years preceding! The Westcott can be purchased now at rock-bottom prices, and your investment is therefore pro- tected and made safe against future varia- tions in the market! Regardless of price, the Westcott is a car you will enjoy. As it stands at your curb, it will be admired by all who see it. Distinction stands out in every line! The closer your inspection, the more will be revealed to be proud of. For the Westcott is right in detail, as it is right in design. What a (':ar!' It climbs hills—pulls through sand and mud—handles ;;x traffic—and in fact per- forms under all circumstances with an ease that is astonishing to those who drive the car for the first time. In addition to contzining nationally known units, such as Continental, Timken, Delco, Brown-Lipe, Borg & Beck, Willard, Warner, Fedders and ' Gemmer, it is equipped with every convenience that could add to the pleasure of its occupants. It has thermostatically controlled motor temperature, radimeter, clock, bumper, spotlight-socket, windshield cleaner, gas gauge on dash, cowl ventilator,” cigar lighter, tonneau light, etc. Nothing has been spared that will make the Westcott a car of longer life, and of more genuine satisfactionduringall theyearsofitslonglife. Try It! Buy It! At the new prices, the Westcott deserves every consideration at the hands of the most careful buyer. A phone call or a visit to our show room tomorrow will put you under no obligation, and we shall very gladly place a Westcott at your dis- posal for examination, trial or compari- son as you may desire.
