Hidden Values Keep Essex Young in Long Service

After fifty, sixty and seventy thousand miles, Essex cars keep the dash and action of new cars. They stay tight and quiet. They keep their economy of operation and main- tenance.

Service like that is not accidental. It results from hidden values which are fully revealed only in long hard service. Attention to detail extends to parts you never see. Finest roller bearings are used where commonly plain bushings are used. For the weight carried the Essex frame is the sturdiest built, save one.

Qualities like these make Essex cost less in the long run than the lowest priced cars, because of the difference in repair, maintenance and replacement costs.

The Irish deportees have arrived at Holyhead. Details of their departure, from Dublin show that it was still dark when the men left Mountjoy prison and marched silently for two miles to the steamer. through empty streets, where considerable military precautions were taken. Though the secrecy of the proceedings circumvented any demonstration by sympathisers, the women deportees, driven in motor tenders, cheered shrilly and sang the soldiers' song en route to the Broke, where renewed singing and cheering occurred as the vessel departed, but there was no audience except the escort aboard and the sentries ashore.

The Lord Chancellor declared the motion inacceptable. He said that the Government had instituted an enquiry into the State Law on the subject, and without desiring to go behind the decision of the Court of Appeal, it was desirable that the Government, if necessary, keep special powers which would be exercisable when occasion required. Lord Grey said he would support the Bill if merely for the sake of indemnifying the Home Secretary in this particular act, but the Bill must not prejudice the future. He declared "ne arrests without trial" was the foundation of the country's liberties. The motion was with- drawn..
