Probing a lazy mind, a sore conscience or a hollow tooth is unpleasant. But it is absolutely necessary to prevent further decay, and eventual dissolution. Experience exposes the weak links in the chain of life as in the chain of business. Inventory is the reading of experience. It must be done honestly, courageously without self-deception.

THE NEW YEAR 1923 Time passes on and now the stretch of road whereon we walked ago, but a short while, lies left behind, and gleaming on before the new path, shines for man a magic mile. The hills and vales have disappeared from sight along the way that fades in gathering gloom. But here and there in meadows soft with light a few sweet flowers along the road still bloom. And while behind the landscape slowly fades the road before grows beautiful and broad, with sunshine and blossoms all along, that lead to God The past is gone, the future lies beyond with known and unknown pleasures in its course. But as we bid adieu to what is gone, expectancy expels our last remorse. Forget the past with sorrows, shadow dimmed unless to hold in fond regard the friends and golden days that passing

WHY HAMMOND HAS ADVANCED The Daily Calumet is very properly concerned with a 10-story building about to be built at Hammond when the best that South Chicago can build is a 4-story building. The paper comments thus: "There is no reason why South Chicago cannot have a 10-story building. We certainly have as much business and as much need for one as Hammond has." A few years ago these statements would have been true, but the facts are different now. The reason why South Chicago cannot have a 10-story building is because its business men are not properly a part of the community. They live in all parts of Chicago, come down to South Chicago and skim off the cream and then take it away. While urging local citizens to "trade at home" their homes are far from South Chicago. Hammond merchants and professional men are in the town and of it. They live there with their families. Their children attend Hammond schools, their wives make up the local women's clubs and they all attend churches and are part and parcel of the city and its activities. Hammond is a real self-contained city.

TIME TO TAKE STOCK Once a year business establishments take stock, weigh resources against liabilities, turn back the old pages and pot pen to new. Each year the well-regulated business strikes balance and starts again, not over again from the old beginning but fresh from the old year's finish. Once a year the individual serious-minded man or woman or ambitious girl or boy takes stock, stock of happiness and the health and the wealth upon which it is founded. Each measures with the yard-stick of conscious the component elements of these two great pillars of life; health of body and mind and spirit, and wealth of experience; mental resources, friendships, the will to do, and self-esteem. Inventory is important to the corporation and to the individual because it points out basic truths. First, perhaps, is that life is growth. Another that the matter of our growth is in our own hands. And still another that we may guide ourselves to a more productive and happier future by knowing and correcting the mistakes of the past. To "know thyself" continues to be the first

circles. Such instances are now very rare. Few of the business or professional men of South Chicago are local residents. (The editors might also be included.) A town or city or suburb that expects to thrive and prosper cannot do so with a divided allegiance. If South Chicago is to boom and have 10-story buildings it will require a "back to South Chicago" movement to accomplish the feat. This is why South Chicago has been gradually slipping for twenty years, and why Hammond has advanced. Calumet Record.

FAIR AND WARMER. The north polar icepack is melting, The scientists tell us so. The zone we live in is much warmer. Farewell to the beautiful snow. Everything favors the landlords. No longer coal bills for those chaps. With smaller expense, will they lower the rents? Why, certainly they will- perhaps. One man and his wife lived happily together twenty years and never had a cross word; then one unfortunate year they went buying Christmas presents together. The Midshipman who offered his flask to the secretary of the navy succeeds to the crown of the world's champ optimist. A scientist now informs us that, after years of investigation, he has discovered that the early Vikings had tails and used them effectively when clinging to the rigging of their ships and manipulating the sails. This would be a lugubrious old world without the scientists. They have discovered that George Washington was a tax-dodger, Patrick Henry was tongue-tied, Cleopatra had a wax nose and store teeth, Mar Anthony didn't try to borrow anybody's ear, Columbus was such a poor athlete that he couldn't box the compass, Caesar's wife had a gent friend. Balboa never discovered anything but the high cost of living, and Ham was a white man and not a parlor car porter. A Texas court holds that a man has a right to get drunk in his own home. But it Is cheaper to be invited out to a friend's house. Having gazed upon a group picture of the conference in session at Lausanne, we no longer wonder why it is that most peace meetings of this kind accomplish nothing. The Brewster-Palmer love match has not interested us o'ermuch, but we will say that Brewster's glossary of endearing terms is about as silly as any we have seen. The League of Nations can't go very far without money, and for the present at least the good old bank is shut "Husbands Wanted for Sultan's Wives."-Headline. The trouble about that is that most of the husbands are already pretty busy supporting the wives they have.

Coue's teachings," said Dr. Fisk, "his visit here will likely be followed by an hysterical appearance of auto suggestion which will work harm to the public. 'There is such a thing as the power of suggestion, but Coue's claims for his methods are greatly exaggerated. Some of his assertions are absurd. "Persons who have chronic troubles are likely to flock to him and forget the teachings of medical science developed after years of search and investigation. They will work themselves much harm. "Auto suggestion is but a new phase of mind cure, comparable to the influence of mind on ailing as well as other people is generally recognized and has been practiced even from the ancient days but Coue's claims are for things far be-

yond any possibilities within, the range of the power of the mind. "The use of suggestion in a sick room is very advantageous provided it is well and carefully used, but to give sick people a notion that all they have to do to get well is to count beads and repeat a formula like every day in every way is bound to be detrimental to their ultimate relief and cure. "I fear people will be led away by the supericialty of it unless they are warned by recognized physicians. To accept Coue's cure all is to turn back the hands of the clock of medical achievements."

DURANT

With the

1923 Series

Durant Fours

The wonderful reputation of the DURANT of the past year has been surpassed by the improvements of the new models of the coming year. With the Economy, Durability, Dependability and Comfort of the past, we are offering in the New Series many refinements.

There is a wealth of meaning in the phrase "JUST A REAL GOOD CAR.". In it are incorporated the ideals of W. C. Durant's thirty-five years experience as a manufacturer of vehicles, as a builder of more than two million automobiles. The DURANT brought fame to itself in a short time for it does its work well. It keeps going every day. It is not a bother. The mechanism is hardly brought to the attention of the owner. It piles up mileage without any appearable wear and does this at a little cost.

motor cars, "THE TUBULAR BACKBONE" (Patent applied for), is one of the most important automotive engineering accomplishments. This is a five-inch hollow steel cylinder riveted at both ends to the second and third frame cross members and paralled to the side members. It makes the whole frame rigid and prevents distortions resulting from uneven wood surfaces. It forces the springs to preform fully their proper functions of absorbing the shocks of the road. Mounted on such a foundation, the body panels and joints are not subjected to tortional strains, creaking and rattlings are reduced to a minimum, and the body is preserved in good condition even after a long period of use. This construction also makes possible the independent mounting of every mechanical unit and a consequent ease of adjustment and disassembly never before attained in any motor car.

The DURANT represents sound mechanical design, simplicity of construction; dependability and durability; power for all occasions; easily controlled; real riding comfort; appearance that is modern and always in good taste; completeness of appointments and equipment, and economy of operation. These are the qualities which justify the phrase "JUST A REAL GOOD CAR." Stop to realize that DURANT owners are claiming 18 to 25 miles on a gallon of gasoline. 350 to 500 miles to a quart of oil, 15.000 to 19,000 miles on a set of tires which are 31x4 cord at a first cost of $26.40. That is why the phrase "ASK THE OWNER." The DURANT contains feature that no other automobile can acquire. The greatest in the history of

When you ride and drive a DURANT, that in every detail of its construction the DURANT FOUR is truly "JUST A REAL GOOD CAR." After comparing the following prices

you will readily sec the DURANT above any other car produced today at its price. Touring $890.00 Sedan $1365.00 Roadster 890.00 Coupe 1365.00 f. o. b. Lansing, Michigan. Disc, wood or wire wheels are optional on all models. Make your next car a DURANT.
