But you will recognize that the dif- ference between the smoothest, stead- iest car you have ever known, and the eight-cylinder Cadillac, is not merely slight or indifferent, It is impressively brought home to you that you must reject your previous ideals and that you must adopt new _standards of what constitutes real mo- ’ toring luxury. W Before you have ridden a mile in the Cadillac, you find that the qualities which you have most desired in a motor car, have been developed to a point that is absolutely new to you.

Holland experienced the big- gest war scare it has known since the issuance of its first mobilization orders at the outbreak of the war. Though the excitement caused the Dutch gov- ernment’s suddenly announced decision to recall furloughed troops to the col- ors has somewhat calmed down, there is still a distinct feeling of nervous- ness throughout the mnation due to the fact that the public is unable to make more than a guess at the reasons for the orders. Outside of an extremely limited official circle no one pretends to know whether the mnew military measure portends a serious crisis and, if it does, whether it is directed against England or Germany. - Franklin’s Philosophy. “He that hath a trade hath an estate; and he that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor.
