MONEY HIDING AT
HOME HAS ITS DANGERS
Geneva, Switzerland, Nov 11. (By
Mail)—A miller who hid bank notes
to the value of four thousand francs
in a sack of flour during the recent
scare caused by the proposal to levy
a tax on capital, is now scouring the
canton of Argovie in an attempt to
recover his funds.
The sack of flour in question was
by error included in a delivery with
other sacks, and sold by the retailer
to some housewife who, thus, far,
has not reported any unexpected
prize in her package.
A good many Swiss during the
money scare drew their money out
of banks and confided it to improvis
ed depositories which in some
proved to be unsafe.
One man following the example
of the farmer of Lorient, France, put
a thousand franc note in a gun bar
rel and then forgot it. He shot the
money away, a few days late rwhen
firing at a rabbit.

Club Coup<
Representing an advance in vehicles of
its class which everyone can instantly
recognize, the Club Coupe presents a
contrast so striking that it is bound
to take precedence in a market waiting
for quality leadership.
A car whose greater value the public can
grasp at a glance. There can be no question
that in sheer beauty it is entitled to and
will receive precedence from the buyer—
in blunt words, that it is the handsomest
two-passenger coupe on the market.
Note in particular the unusual quarter side windows, which can be lowered and raised; the larger
window at the rear, with curtain; the advanced type of windshield; the visor, windshield wiper
and rear vision mirror; the exceptional hardware; the leather upholstery; the devices for raising
tod lowering all windows; the comfort of the driving position; the ample leg-room and roominess
of the ng arrangement; the convenient package compartment back of the seat, and the unusually
large rear-deck compartment Heater, disc steel wheels end cord tires are standard equipment
In view of these superiorities, mark the price. Prices F O.B, Detroit Revenue Tax to be added;

He Takes Everything.
“I have one patron,” said the pro
prietor of one of the barber shops of
the city, “who comes every day for
his treatment. It requires one-half
hour each morning, but he never fails
and he scans each wrinkle minutely

“Next!" and the man behind the
chair indicated the vacant seat to
waiting patron. The seeker after
beauty slides into the chair with
satisfied sigh.
“What will you have?” queries the
attendant.
“Everything,” is the crisp reply,
and then, if you please, this man is

“He is a regular customer,” said
the barber, “and cornea In every

“Then there’s another who wants
