YOU would he amazed if you knew in how short a time the average Hale of a Liberty is closed. As a rule, prospective buyers come to us strongly attracted by the beauty of the car, and the high favor in which U is held by the owners. With that preference to go on, we leave them largely to their own de vices -merely asking that they ob serve, for themselves, the beautiful steadiness of Liberty performance^ The first delightful ten minutes in which the superior difference - in the way the Liberty rides and drives reveals itself is enough to clinch the matter.

BASKET MAKERS OF NAPLES Fe# Centuries Me Haa Been a 'Picture eeque Sight in ItrNti ?f City. For centuries the banket maker haa been a picturesque sight In old Nuplea whore the trade run* In the Maine fam ily for generations. The basket maker Is omnliyesent, eithet plaiting or sell ing his wares In every direction, for In no other city under the sun are they used for so many purposes, from cradle* for babies to fish receptacles, and a covering for wine bottles. The artist apllts his wicker deftly with a long bladed knife and proceeds to weave watertight baskets by hand, an only his strong fingers can fashion them. Not one, but many a day are his "stint" and when they are mound ed about him at nightfall, he glvea a sigh of satisfaction and loada his cart for the inqrrow. Or possibly It Is' his own back which must be bent to the burden. If so, he appears like an animated basket-rack as he aallles forth to the tune of "Sauta Lucia." Later, one can easily imagine that there Is a ventriloquist hidden away In the depths of the baskets, calling his wure. By day and by night he Uvea In close proximity with his goat, cow and hor?e If he is rich enough to possess these domestic animals, sleeping In the same room with them utterly oblivious j to discomfort or anything out of the i ordinary. More than one tourist has j told ua bf a common Sight, that of J seeiug a horse ascend a flight of stairs. ; ahead of his master, at the end of a I hard day of peddling. And If not a j horse, a mule, the sonorous braying ; of which does not disturb the slum- \ her he has won for he knows no I eight-hour day. QUEEN GETS MARVELOUS VEIL Belgian Lace Experta Worked on Piece Four Years ? Designed by Artlsta. The Queen of the Belgians has re ceived from the lace and embroidery works of Belgian Flanders a marvel ous veil. Surrounded . by all the mis fortune and misery of wur these loyal subjects have toiled In secret for four long years to produce a unique piece which they offer In homage to their queen. Such Is their devotion to their sov ereign. A French .publication describes the veil ? designed by -the most famous of Itelglrin artists and executed by Ut most expert workmen, perfect In every tl i ? !. : ? i 1 of mesh and motif. Twelve thousand hours were re quired In workmanship, for the veil contains not less than 11!, (MM), 000 points. If displays the almost unknown art of light and shade, a difficult effect and one of rare beauty. It solves for the first time, perhaps, the ques tion o? perspective. The entire ylece weighs but four and one-half ounces. In the center of the veil are the Helgian arms, and In the four corners of the central panel the arms of the cities of Ypres, Nieuport, Poperinghe and Fumes. The four side panels represent the industries of weaving. Ashing, hop picking and dairying. Frost Discussed in Bulletin. Discussions of the formation and seasons of frost and how growing plants may be protected from It. arc contained In the department of agri culture's Farmers' Bulletin No. 104, "Notes on Frost," which may be ob tained by application to the depart ment. The weather bureau Is prepar-, ing_a more up-to-date publication on the subject of frosts, and expects to have it ready for distribution soon, but in the meantime farmers and others may benefit by reading the old bulletin, which treats the technical theme In a popular manner. Madrid to Have Subway. A few weeks hence there will be a subway In Spain, and subway trains running under 'the streets of Madrid. Then the people of Madrid will have \ their first opportunity, to travel un derground the Rio del Solo to Cua- j tro ('aminos, the first half of the line being constructed more than sixty feet below the street level. Madrid itself Is rapidly modernizing, reports say. New thoroughfares are being con- . structed ; new office buildings gotng up; and the new subway Is but the: beginning of st metropolitan system In a city of crowded streets. Crook Forest Enlarged. The president has signed a proc lamation adding 119, -HO acres to the; Crook national forest. Arizona. The j lands added nre located in the Win- ? rhester mountains and southwest of I the Galium division of the Crook forest. They are rough and broken in char- 1 acter ami are not suitable for agrlcul- i tucal purposes. Practically the entire j tract is covered with a stand of oak, j Juniper, and <?dar timber of fair qual- 1 Ity. Considerable of the area along J FMne canyon Is covered with u good-' stand of western yellow pine. Arkansas Diamonds. . Arkansas has several diamond mines that have turned out abmit ,r>,000 din monds valued at about $20,000. The geological formation In which th?> gems J are found Is railed perldotite and is akin to the famous South African kim- ; berllte. It oemrs in chimneys like j those of South America. The Arkan sas mines have b?-en neglected during . the war. With diamonds increasing In j price and popularity, It is said, the mlna orvners are making plans t? work their properties in a more ex tensive and systematic way. Why Other Makers Will Imitate? * 1 The Hot Spot Chalmers OUA L I T V has long been the common denominator of Chal mers motor cars, hut the great story to be told about this car today is not so much in the materials, or the men who make it, but in methods. One single idea ? the pro duct ot many clever engi neering minds ? has devel oped Chalmers to an almost unbelievable point. This idea is expressed in Hot Spot and Ram's-horn. Each costs but little to build but what each does is tremendous. Thev take all the power out of gas that nature pnrin. No other car does with but one exception and that one is by permission a copy. If the majn function of Hot Spot and Ram's-horn were only to save gas there would be little to tell. But they so remove the throb, the vibration of the engine that they create a new kind of power. Like in the case of the man who invented the mul tiplication table, Hot Spot and Ram's-horn sooner or later will come into popular use. Why wait to get this advanced type of engine? Two years,- from now you may buy one like it in manv cars, ^ GEO. T. LITTLE, Camden, S. C.
