OUR wife-your family-must be the first consideration in buying an automobile. When the car drives up to the door and the neighbors notice the new acquisition to the family, it's half the joy of life to hear them say, "What a beautiful car-that isn't the common kind-I wonder what make it is."

If you hear it-and she hears it-there are a couple of joyous thrills running up and down two spines. YOU KNOW IT.

construction that you know when you begin your journey, whether it be long or short, you will come back just as you started.

Beauty-comfort-safety-speed-long life freedom from engine worry-gasoline economy-all the modern conveniences such as vacuum feed, power tire pump, the latest word in silent starters-two unit, three point construction-one man top-these are a few of the things you should have in your new car.

And you get them in the new Mitchell 1915 masterpiece and at a price that staggers other automobile makers.

John Bate's engineering skill is at its best in the new models.

He has made this a Mitchell year.

The factory is working to its fullest capacity to supply the demand. If you contemplate buying a car now or later, you should see the new Mitchells first.

Your dealer can demonstrate their exclusive features to you-or, you can read about them if you write for Mitchell Book No. 132

Encyclopædia

More Than

NOW Ever Before

The War raises unusual questions daily. For instance:
What are Moujiks, Turcos, Algerians,
Senegalese?

What is a Mitrailleuse, Maxim, Machine
Gun, Mortar, Siege Gun, Howitzer?
What is Shrapnel, an Army Corps, Divi-
sion, Regiment, Battalion, Company?
What are Uhlans, Cuirassiers, Lancers,
Walloons?

What is the meaning of Moratorium,
Landwehr, Landsturm, Armageddon,
Cataclysm, Vodka, Verst, Kilometer,
Pan-Germanism. Balance of power,
Foreign Exchange, Reichstag?

What are the "Rules of War," and who
signed them?

What are the commercial centres of
Latin America; what goods have these
countries been buying from Europe?
How do you pronounce P-R-Z-E-M-Y-S-L?

The New International Encyclopædia will answer satisfactorily the above questions.
It contains 30,000 more articles than any other standard encyclopædia.
It is the Most Recent Reference Work in existence.

Its great mass of new, exclusive information will necessitate at least three additional volumes, making 24 volumes, instead of 21, as in the First Edition. It will present

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR
