said that tho weaklings In the student

and checkers, preferring to take up pas
times which dee!op the thinking powers
Instead of tho muscles.
'Of course. It Is nil right for tho bojs
to spend their Iclsuro hours with brain

developers, at the same time,, must not
be overlooked "

pate In athletics to hit heart's content,
nnd nt tho same tlmo keep out of com
petition, nccordlng to thi plan adopted
by I'red Vnll. assistant athletic director
of tho West Philadelphia High Hchool
I By the plan recently mausurntcd by
many i Mr. Vail, each student In the school, re-
gardlcss of his backward nnturo and his
timidity, may at least get a chance to
show whnt he can do athletically, nnd In
cidentally go through tho same perform
ances ns his older nnd more experienced
schoolmate, tho boy of tho regular track
team of tho school
Tho schemo put In effect by Mr. Vnll
provides for the student taking up the
various branches of track sport nnd re
ceiving n mnik for his performance, thus
doing nwny with competition against an
other student. Tho spirit of competition
creeps In, however, due to the final sum
ming up of tho credits of each Individual
nnd the winner nnnounced It also makes
It possible for the student to take up
track sports nwny from tho gaze of others
and may go through his performance
nlone, provided, of course, that Mr. Vail
Ja,.oli liiiiilrtcur. jjnl hlrf mark..
The West Philadelphia nthletlc director
pointed out yesterday that In his long
association with athletics in tho high
schools, proparritory schools nnd colleges
ho hns always been Impressed by tho
e run-
wonder of
uld get
the bulletin hoard, nnd It Is pnxslhlo for
a hoy to fall short several feet In tho
broad Jump, for Instance, nnd still ro
celve credit.
Tho events In this srl)"rn inciudc high
nnd broad Jumps, pole vault, shot put 220,
110 nnd SS0-nrd runs, ench to be marked
on merit. Mr. Vnll believes that by Intro
ducing a scheme whcicby tho Btudents
can test their skill ngnlnst one another
nnd still do nwn with actual competition
Is advnntngeous because It will encourago
many apparcnth disinterested bos to
don togs and obtain tho bcncllts of exer
cise. "The scheme. In renllty," tho athletic
director Bald estcrda, "Is nothing moro
thnn a track meet for the joungcr bojs
a meet which Is drawn over several
months, at which tlmo I shall take ac
count of tho credits given each boy to
determine the winner. During tho courso
of the 'meet' no one will get tho Idea
that he should drop out because of somo
other boy Bcurlng moro points, because I
shnll have most of the trluls In private
and keep tho results to myself."
Mr. Vail told of his success with tho
scheme In various schools nnd colleges In
which he hns Introduced It. He had par
ticular success at l-urlham College,
ut Richmond, la.
"At Karlham." said the West Phila
delphlan, "wo had 120 boys In college, and
out of this number 60 competed under
this scheme, The drat year that It was
tried Karlhnm hnd llttlo or no success 111
the State track championships, but the
second year we won tho, title with a mar
gin of IS points.
"I nm confident that under this plan
mony bos otherwise Indifferent to ath
letics will llml n chance to show what
they can do, nnd pcrhnps turn out to bo
mnterlal for tho first team. Out In In
diana I recnll n slender little, fellow that
was shy of all athletics that was led
out of his shell by this system, nnd In two
years' tlmo ho was one of tho best middle
distance, runners In the State. '

Jeff ery welcomes the day
of critical examination of motor cars
of skepticism toward low price talk
of nation-wide demand for Quality
Jeffery has never learned how to cheapen an automobile
for the sake of reaching new markets with a sensational
price.
Jeffery has always believed that the real demand of the American public
was for a quality car at a moderate price.
Jeffery believes that today the public is seeking a car of standard value
with -roomy seven-passenger body, high-grade finish and quality up
' holstery, ample wheel base, large tires, efficient starting and lighting, high
lension ignition, economical carburetion ancl a motor that gives smooth,
quiet, flexible power a car that will go on day after day giving good
service, sure service, economical service.
Jeffery is able to produce this kind of car at a S1000 price in spite of
increasing costs because Jeffery bought materials far in advance be
cause Jeffery has one of the largest, best equipped plants in the world, in
which the Jeffery car is built in its entirety because Jeffery has instituted
ndvanced methods of manufacture which keep cost down and quality up.
No other manufacturer, who cannot equal the Jeffery facilities and did
not buy materials when the price was low, can hope to build a touring car
of Jeffery quality at the Jeffery price.
No other manufacturer, whose facilities are not equal to those of Jeffery,
can possibly hope to build an enclosed car equal in quality to the Jeffery
Sedan at a price less than ?1500.
Yet the Jeffery Sedan complete with removable winter and summer
tops sells at $1 165 only S165 above the list price of the touring car.
. The quality of this car is possible only because each car is built entirely
In Jhe Jeffery factor)'. Each topj is tailored individually, to fit exactly the
tbody for which it is intended Eliminating all looseness, squeaking and "
rattling.
In the Jeffery Sedan, you are offered for the first time a custom-made
enclosed coach which gives all the appearance of permanence, all the har
mony of line, all the finish, all the luxury and comfort of the most costly
enclosed car at a price but little more than ?1000,
Four years ago Jeffery originated the motor Sedan. Today Jeffery leads
again with the first popular-priced high quality Sedan with removable top.
