mobile business. (For 22 yeara W. R.
DeLoache, head of tins firm, has
. .been selling automobiles, and is re
cognized as one of the best motor
V car men in the state.

cars was taken oyer by Mr. DeLoache

refreshment
In my New England boyhood a
sign frequently seen on country ta
verns was "Refreshment for Man and
Beast." You could feed your horses
and yourself at the same time. Horses
have given place to the automobile
and the filling station takes the place
of the wagon-shed, while the food ob
tainable along the highways^varies,
as a rule, from bad to worse.
A 8k any motor tourist how many
places he found to oat where the food
was really palatable. He'll remember
them all: it is no tax on the memory! j
With everything else becoming
standardized, th<^ movement to stan- !
dardize roadside food stations so that
U.? motourisit can be sure, before try
hm luck, of what he is going to get,
was bound to come. One of the big j
oil companies, operating its own gas- i
oline filling stations, has made a deal j
with a large restaurant organization !
which operates a chain of eaiting
places in many part? of the country.
Light lunches of good quality and
real coffee are to be served at the
filling stations. I can think of noth
ing better calculated to encouropp
motor touring.
GOLD
With their money depreciated and
their nation off the gold standard, the ?
people of England are showing their
patriotism, by turning in their gold
jewelry and ornament? to be melted
up for money. One noble duke gave
up his coronet, worth $50,000 in coin
but many times that in sentimental
association.
Of course, the people who are doing
this get the bullion value of their
gold in the form of bank notes., but
tt strengthens their nation's financial
position because it puts the gold
where it can be weighed and counted
as a basis' for currency, which is im
possible when it is in private hands. ?
Gold is useless except as, a basis of
money. Thq, debate on the Glass
Steigall bill, just enacted, disclosed
the fact that only a part of America's
gold reserve, the largest in the world, ,
was available for monetary purposes,
owing to a defect in the original Fed
eral Reserve Law. The new law
remedies that defect, and we won't
have to give up our coronets, yet a
while, to keep our currency issues up
in stiff icient volume for business
needs. 1 -.ni-"?
SILVER
Talk about restoring silver to its
place as a basis of money is being
heard everywhere. The latest move
in this direction is the introduction
in Congress by Representative Som
ers of Brooklyn of-A resolution for an
International conference on silver.
I am not sure that I agree with my
friend Rene Leon, regarded as the
foremost authority on silver, that the J
demonetization of silver by the Brit
ish government in India in 1926 is at
the bottom of all of the world's pre-^
sent economic trouble, but I do be
lieve that the legalization of silver,
up to a reasonable (percentage of gold,
as a basis for currency, would help
to stabilize finance and business.
At any rate, as I have often said
before in this column, silver is some
thing interesting to watch.
DUCKS
It looks as if the Twentieth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States would be one which
would change the date of President
ial inaugurations and eliminate
"lame ducks" from Congress. As
things are now, we elect a , new
President and OongveM ',n Novem
ber b<*t their term of office does not
begin until Maich 4 the next year.
In the meant' me, the old Congress
holds a session in which defeated
members, know.i as "lame ducks"*
still sit.
This is * ".fang^er from the old
stage-coach, horpfcback days of slow
travel. It used to take three or foul
months to get to Washington. . Both
houses of Congress have agreed to
submit a Constitutional amendment
making January 3 the dale for Con
press to meet with only the newly
elected members sitting, and the new
President to take office on tfanuary
20 Instead of on Mfurch "?'*
. This probably cannot become ef
fective before 1986, as it is not likely
enough states will ratify It to put !t
Into for MM.
AMERICA
While the' "Star-Spangled Banner"
is the official national anthem of the
United States, many more people can
sing "America," the familar song
beginning "My country, 'tis of Thee'.
That was written just 100 years ago,
jn 1882, by the Rev. Sam ueU Francis
Smith, who was then a theologcal
student. He discovered an old Ger
man tune in a collection of hytmns,
and in half an hour had written the
words which are still sung, to fit the
tune. It was not until some time
afterwards that the same time
was adopted in England for the na
tional Anthem, "&od save the King."
Well-Farored Man I
To be a well-favored man Is the Rift,
of fortune, but to write and read
comes by nature. ? Shnlxosnonre.
"|F I ?ot constipated,
I would get dizzy
and have swimming
In my head. I would
have very severe
headache.
"For a while I
thought I wouldn't
take anything ? may
be I could wear out
the headaches; but I
found they were
wearing me out.
"I found Black
Draught would re
lieve this, so when I
have the very first
symptoms, I take
Black-Draught and
now I don't have the
headache.
"I am a firm be

using It 20 or more
years, I am satisfied
to continue Its use."
