If there is any one pur- chase that should be made at home i is purchase of an automobile. Thre to four hundred million dollars is spent annually for automobile parts About two hundred million dollars is spent on repairs, aside from new parts. The man who buys his car in his home city will a great portion of the sum he would spend for repairs if he is able to have those repairs made by the man from whom he bought the car. The seller is apt to make his charges as reasonable as possible to a man who has purchased . from him, and often he will make no charge at all in his honest desire to have the purchaser pleased and satis- fled. Moreover the ‘the seller of a car makes him anxious to see the car he has sold prove its worth, He is alwi to look the car over, suggest what should and give of the save personal interest of ready be done, if anything is needed, valuable advice as to the use car. But perhaps the greatest advantage car at home is the fact be ob- dealer of buying a . that whatever is needed may tained quickly. A knows the advantage to his business that comes from the ‘‘boosting” of car by a satisfied purchaser. When that purchaser lives in the city where the dealer does business, he knows that the words of every pur- chaser are boosts or knocks, helping or harming his business and his car Always buy everything at home if you find what you want, but above all buy that new car in your own city. 3y easily and 1 a A BLOW TO GERMANY Those who believe Germany's only hope lies in honest endeavor to meet her engagements, in gaining the re- spect of other nations, will see in the murder of Foreign Minister Rathenau a blow to that country more severe than was the killing of Erzberger by Nationalists nearly a year ago ' Rathenau was an ldealist. He com- mitted the sin of going contrary to the impression reactionary Germans would create—that Germany can not pay the reparations she has promised to pay without ruining herself. The Foreign Minister believed she could pay those reparations; his plan, if carried out, will justify that belief. .

The spirit taught is that of never ziving up. The Harvard team, far he- hind, fought in their last inning as they had not fought before. They 1id all that it was possible to do.

WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER Rockefeller, known uni- versally the possessor of a tre- mendous fortune, is dead. Those who knew him thus and thus only, will be interested especiaily in the fact that his business career began when he worked for a wage that barely supported him, he being then 17 old; that when he was 19 he entered the employ of a firm as and that years later he becAme the partner in that firm the activities of which brought his first financial successes. So again is seen, in the life of this man, the almost unbelievable pessibilities for success that life in this country offers. Those who knew Willlam Rockefel- ly, through business or gocial association will mourn his death as that of one whose attraction was personal than inspired by knowledge of his weaith.

This is the case today according to Roger Babson, Were it not for the strikes and other temporary handicaps, in other words, business would be im- proving. Mr. Dabson's letter on the automo- this week, clal interest, for he answers the com- mon question as to the future of that industry and the query “what will we o when there are so many automo- biles that it won't be any pleasure to drive?" That time will not come, ac- cording to Mr. Babson's reasoning, un- til the time comes when our system of highways¢ has been completed and perfected. In other words the build- ing of new automobiles wil continue, and there will continue to be a mar- Ket for them, just as long as there are roads to be perfected and through which new roads may be laid advdntageously. And. the demand for "new roads and improving new and old roads will continue as long as people have cars in which to drive and be- come more and more interested in new and better roads. The “satura- tion point” of the new automobile in- dustgy, therefore, is a long way off. But, as pointed out.by Mr. Babson, the, automobile industry will flourish, especially for the older companies— and each yearsew makers are becom- ing old makers—Ilong after the build- ing selling of new cars ceased. When from three to hundred million dollars are spent an- nually for new parts of automobiles at present, and when there is no selling expense connect’ml with the disposal of those new parts, as car owners have to seek the seller in this case, it may be seen that the industry would flourish because of. this branch alone, even though no new cars were put on the market. Mr. Babson emphasizes the perma- nence of the automobile industry, even advising investment in the stock of the older concerns which have cs- tablished reputations, and a great number of cars in use, may bile industry, is of espe- regions and has four Facts and Fancies (BY nOBEKT QUILLEN) There is something about a famous woman's husband that reminds us of ain appendix.

His speech had to do with a recent trip through Europe and the eastern Mediterranean, He dwelt at length ipon the high estimation in which Americans are held in the Near Iast, and praised the work of the Young Men's Christian association, the Young Women's Christian association ind the American relief administra- tion. Referring to the political situation, 'r, Bestor said: “There are certainly many reasons for pessimism. As yet there is no peace in Europe or in Asia. Every- where one sees military establish- nients and great numbers of soldiers.

There are drastic tariff barriers everywhere Iixcept in England there is hardly : halanced budget in any country which was engaged in the war. There are difficulties over reparations. The ex- ~hange is in such a chaotic state that it is either so high that no one can Luy from you, or so low that you can- not buy from anyone else.. Yet ‘hPrP] are 100,000,000 people in Europe who must live hy the export trade. When cne analyzes and reviews these con ditions there is every reason for a feeling of discouragement and pessi mism for the immediate outlook. But this is only one side of the picture. There are many indications of a sin- cere desire to find a better way of settling these difficulties between na- tions and peoples. These peoples are weary of war and of economic strug- gles. They sincerely want peace and the opportunity of working out their political, social and economic salva- tion."” Cannot Educate The speaker then explained why Great Britain and France, in his opinion, could give education and in- spiration to this part of the world and keep order in these unsettled areas and he laid emphasis on the idea that he was not advocating mandatea for the United States. “‘But Europe has confidence in the unselfishness and good faith of Am- erica,” Dr. Bestor went on. “Ow position in the world is now recog- nized as it could not possibly have heen recognized in 1914. It is true that the war could have not woen without us. We are recognized as the one nation which is disinterested anc unselfish. We have no quarrels with ary other nation, na, harmful ambi- tions, no imperialism as that word ought to be defined, and no fear of any other nation. We should parti- cipate in all matters connected with the settlements. in Europe and the Near East because of our peculiarly favorable position, because of our dis- interestedness and because of our tre- mendous investinents in educational enterprises and missionary endeavors. Turope and Asia are almost as indie pensable to us as we are to them. There can be no return to normal conditions without our participation and there can be no reconstruction without us.” ROOM COMPLETED Workmen#this morning completed the job of enlarging the “open shelf room," at the library of the New Brit- ain Institute.

The eye, mouth, leg, hand, color, sound and everything else on the earth are not dead but living things. In the same way, the brain which is in itself a dead thing, becomes a living thing when it comes in touch with a thing, and that thing is the soul.

His brother-in-law said that Mr. Montgomery had been ‘pe- culiar’” lately and had suffered from nervousness. The man was on a Flatbush Ave- nue car, bound for Brooklyn.'On the way over he was seen to take an en- velope from his pocket and wrote on ft. When he reached the center of the bridge he got up, shed his over- coat and leaping to the roadway, climbed through the side supports and jumped to the river 135 feet be- low. His body turned over and over, and after striking the surface, sank and did not reappear. Police boats were grappling for it last night. In the coat which he left behind the envelope was found. On it he had written. “I am Henry Montgomery, care of Mrs. Charles Brown, 142 8t. Markg Avenue, Brooklyn.” There were also the names of his brother, James M. Montgomery of 801 West End avenue, vice president of the Richard Young Company, leather and hides of 96 Spruce street, and of Dr. George . Barney of 21 Seventh Ave- nue, Broooklyn, his brother-in-law. Dr. Barney said last night that Mr, Montgomery had not been well for some time, but that yesterday he had seemed cheerful and said he was go- ing tp take a trolley ride te Manha tan and back. He said that Mr. Mont- gomery had retired about a year ago because of a nervous breakdown and that he had spent a few months in a sanitarium. He was . married and lived in St. Marks Avenue with his wife and two sons. BY 0. JACOBSON
