Jarvis of the National Anti- Saloon League and the Citizens' Ser- vice Association gave an address on the success of undertakings, he said the reason the W. C. T.

Since them the population of the United States has increased 8 per cent, but dividends paid by commer- cial and industrial organizations have increased 144 per cent, bank deposits have increased 53 per cent, high school attendance has increased 65 per cent and college attendance has doubled every four years. In the old days there were over a hundred Neal institutes mnd 77 Keely institutes for the cure of alcoholism; now all the Neal institutes have closed for lack of business and only one Keely institute remains.

PAPAL STAMPS ON SALE TO PROMOTE RESEARCH | Bear Likeness of Pope With Triple Crown—Spanish King's Visage on Duplicate Stamps. ROME (#).—Special papal stamps, bearing the likeness of Pope Pius g(ql with the triple crown or tiara, and that of King Alfonso VIII of Sf in in uni- form, helmet and white plumes, have been authorized to be sold in the cities of Toledo and Santiago di Compostella in Spain for the benefit of the Roman committee for researches in the Cata- combs. ‘This issue, which the Pope intends to be the only one of its sort, is being rapidly bought up by philatelists of Europe and the two Americas. The offices of the National Philatelic Union of Italy in Rome has been swamped with orders during thc past month. Another rush is expected by Roman residents who may desire to affix the new stamps to their Easter cards and letters.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (#).— Within the last few years the government of this Britisk crown colony has paid off its entire indebtedness and started a number of important public works. In- creased revenues have come largely from rum runners, who are willing to pay heavy import and export duties and take a chance of landing cargoes on the Florida coast of the United States. ‘The tax on one cargo which recently left here was $45,000, a sample of what the policy of trying to discourage the violators of American laws has done for the treasury of the cology. By keep- ing up the tariff on incoming liquor the government claims to safeguard what is left of the old industry that made Jamaica rum famous throughout the world. But this also gives the treas- ury chance to profit by both the com- ing and going of the smugglers. The runners pay cash for the car- goes which they buy here and a num- ber of private fortunes have been made by colonists. ‘Two Swiss Cantons—Zurich and Vaud —have woman pastors.

Where is the car which could stand out against the de- mand for balloon tires? Yet these im- provements are trifles compared with what you find in Blackhawk. Not a single feature—but an impressive list— sets this car apart—as the one by which all new cars must be judged today. Strong statements? Indeed they are. _ But we only ask that you reserve judg- ment until you ride in the Blackhawk— and know these features by experience. Low-weighted safety—the Black- hawk floor line is 209, lower than that of the conventional car—and in every car, the bulk of the weight must ride above the floor line. Blackhawk has the lowest center of gravity of any Amer- ican car. The strongest frame in any Amer- ican car.* Side bumper steel running boards—integral with the frame—give the car and passengers protection from side-collision found only in the Black- hawk.* Worm gear drive—which makes this safety construction possible. This type of drive is frankly admitted by the automobile industry to be superior in quietness and long life (it is used on high-priced foreign cars and high-speed passenger buses)—but, combined with low center of gravity, it is found only on the Stutz and Blackhawk. It costs considerably more than the conven- tional type of drive. What a low price to pay for safety! Transmission—with four forward speeds—quiet—without which no car can truly deserve the name of modern. Safety Glass “all around’’—non- shatterable. No automobile manufac- turer can present'a valid reason for failing to give you this protection. 65% of all injuries in automobile accidents are due to flying glass. Yet, with but few exceptions, Stutz and Blackhawk still stand almost alone in providing this vital safety. 4 Noback—control on hills. The Blackhawk will not roll backwards when you stop it on an incline. No need to hold your foot-on the brake. No juggling with controls in starting. You start on an incline as easily as on the level, with this automatic protection offered exclusively by Stutz and Black- hawk—the outstanding safety presen- tation of this year. By far the strongest brakes on any car (except the Stutz)—put the Black- hawk under safe control at every driving speed. Weymann Bodies at prices $1,000 lower than any other American car can now offer them. These distinguished bodies of foreign design—used on such cars as Hispano-Suiza, Rolls Royce and Sunbeam—are now available on the Blackhawk at such a price as $2,595.
