jt second. J lie exclusion or soiimeiiii
Ulster by a clean cut.
Third. Tho formation of n cranil
council, conxlstiiiK of equal proportion!
of members of the Dublin Parliament
and Ulster membeiH of the Impoilal
Parliament, to transact alt common
business between the excluded area and
the rest of Ireland, nud to have powei
to direct. If It thinks til. that any enact
ment of the Dublin Parliament shall
apply to the excluded nra,
It will be seen that the Government
has not adopted the expedient of cxclu
iilon by county option, which for a time
fascinated the Nationalists, hut appar
ently attracts them no longer. Parti
Hon Is avoided, and the unity of Ireland
preserved by tho device of the Brand
council, which It Is hoped will pave
the way for a fuller and more Intimate
union.
The Reneral attitude of the Gov em
inent and Iti reasons for first acquaint
lne the Irish partv Icadcis with the
proposals can be explained. The Na
tionalists declined to neRotlate with the
Government, and neither they nor the
Ulster Unionists have on this occasion
ny foreknowledge of the oftlclal sources
of the Government's scheme.
The Goernment has laid down two
fundamental conditions. Tho first Is
that It Is absolutely Impossible to co
erce Ulster in any nay, and the second
Is that it Is Impossible to carry through
Parliament at the present time a long
detailed measure If it excites contro
versy. There Is neither time nor at
mosphere for contentious business.
Unless, therefore, some measure of
asreoment between the two Irish par
ties can be obtained the scheme cannot
to forward.

DOOMED !
THE leather heel has outlived its useful
ness it is doomed. Well suited as it
was to walking on dirt streets and sidewalks
of a century or more ago, it is no better
adapted to our present "concrete age" than
the sandals of ancient days would be.
Run down, in many cases, within two or
three weeks, your heels show the effects of
the continuous impact ofhard leather oo
unyielding city pavements.
Save your heels, save your shoes above
all save your nervous system. Don't
pound away your health with every step
you take. Wear O'Sullivan's Heels they
absorb the jolts and jars that wear you out.
Of all heels they are the best suited to
modern city streets and floors.
They are guaranteed to outlast any other
heels on the market. They last two or three
times longer than leather heels. Because
of our special process, O'Sullivan's Heels
combine the greatest durability with the
greatest resiliency. They are made of per
fect heel material. w
Buy your new shoes O'Sullivanized.
Good dealers sell the latest style shoes with
these heels already attached.
In black, white or tan; for
men, women and children;
50c attached.
mcfs.M.c..inr
OST people are frankly astonished when tney
suae sucn a targe, ultra luxurious
car as tne jfaige Stratford "Six'51" can be.
purchased for $1495.
In fact, it seems to be generally recognised that no car
on the American market offers so much actual
doUar'for'dollar value. If you have investigated
, the "Stratford, you probably feel the same way
about it. '
But don't delay too long, piease, in placing your order.
At least make a reservation while we can continue
.to promise early delivery.
