See Us NOW about your Battery Suppose some queer trick of fate made you the owner of this service station and me the customer. And I came in some day red hot because my battery had gone wrong— And I had missed my train— And I lost out on an important engagement— And disappointed a good customer— And stood to lose a lot of money— You bet your life I'd be good Autumn Pastimes. SEEING THE PARADE— I WOULDN'T MISS SEEIN' IT FOR A MILLION DOLLARS! I'VE BEEN HERE TWO HOURS! STAND BACK! Don’t You Like Your Why Don’t You Choose After all, if you go through life with a name that doesn’t please you or bring you luck, it’s your own fault. There’s nothing to prevent your changing it. The law doesn’t care what you call yourself. And the people who groan through life under the burden of absurd names bestowed on them by their parents hove only themselves to blame. If you take a fancy to another name you can adopt it and throw away your old one. Perhaps the manufactured name will bring you luck, as in the reported case of Dennis O’Brien. As Dennis O’Brien, it is said by some, he was an unsuccessful prosepector and a clipped of horses. As John K. Stewart a man said to be the same person became the founder and president of the Stewart-Warner Speedometer Company of Chicago and left a $5,000,000 estate when he died. According to the story, which is denied in some quarters, his method of manufacturing a new name was peculiar. Stewart was the name of the lawyer through whom he patented his first invention, a horse clipping machine. John K. was the name of a race horse he fancied. And the combination proved a winning one. People apply to the courts for permission to change their names, but it isn’t necessary. It’s only a prudent precaution in case your grandfather abroad should leave you a legacy, making it necessary for you to prove that your original name was Abraham Zwetschenstiel and not Aubrey O’Brien. But any Zwetschenstiel is at liberty to change his name to O’Brien without bothering the courts about it. That’s one of the privileges we inherit from English common law. Its very different in European countries, where habitual police surveillance and the passport system would cause a change of name to bring a hornets’ nest about your ears.

But if you don't happen to like your father's name you're under no more obligation to use it than you are to eat pumpkin pie if it doesn't appeal to you. The court of appeals of New York settled that for all time in the case of Smith versus United States Casualty Company. Judge Vann, who penned the unanimous opinion, set forth some striking historical examples of changed names. "A predecessor of Honore de Balzac," he wrote, "was born a Guez, which means beggar, and grew to manhood under that name. When he became conscious of his powers as a writer, he did not wish his works to be published under that humble name, so he selected the surname Balzac from an estate that he owned. "Voltaire, Moliere, Dante, Petrarch, Richelieu, Loyola, Erasmus and Linnaeus were assumed names. Napoleon Buonaparte changed his name after his amazing victories had lured him toward a crown and he wanted a grander name to aid his daring aspirations. The duke of Wellington was not by blood a Wellesley, but a Cooley, his grandfather, Richard Colley, having assumed the name of a relative named Wesley, which was afterward expanded to Wellesley." In the days when actors were legally classified as "vagabonds" it was customary for every player to assume a "stage name" and the custom continues well into the present era. But in these days, when actors and actresses are invited to tea in the best houses, they generally take their real names to the stage with them. Lou Telltegen, however, was originally Isidor Louis Bernard Edmund van Dominenen. Sir Henry Irving, who did more than any other actor to bring about the social recognition of his profession, aided by the wood will of the prince of Wales, "the first gentleman of Europe," who afterward reigned as Edward VII, was born Broadrib and adopted Irving as stage name. Maurice Barrymore, the handsome father of the present generation of Barrymores, also bore a pseudonym, his original name having been Herbert Blythe. Artemus Ward and Mark Twain were literary examples of adopted names. Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, was originally John Rowllands. For euphony in authorship, James B. Taylor became Bayard Taylor and James B. Matthews became Brander Matthews. Ulysses S. Grant began as Hiram S. Grant, Grover Cleveland as Stephen G. Cleveland and Whitelaw Reid as Jacob W. Reid. There is also the historical case of Thomas W. Wilson, president of the United States, as Woodrow Wilson. AUTO CLUB MAY ADOPT VIGILANTE SCHEME IN THIS CITY How to make the roads safer for the same autoist, is one of the principal objects of the Automobile Club of Southern California, according to Paul V. Allen, local representative of the club. Mr. Allen is seeking expressions of opinion locally as to whetier or not the most careful motorists believe the Los Angeles "Vigilante" plan to be a good thing. The "vigilante" scheme as employed for the past two months in Los Angeles resulted in 1448 auto owners receiving warnings to be more careful from the safety bureau of the Automobile Club. Warnings are sent to the offending individuals before they are finally turned over to the police, but it has so far proved sufficient to address letters of advice to those reported by the vigilance committee members. If this plan is put into operation in Anaheim, 100 public spirited citizens will be chosen to aid the auto club in curbing accidents. These citicens, who will be operators of automobiles, will be furnished with secret numbers and with traffic cards on which to mark the state license numbers of law offenders as they observe them in this section.

Speaking Directly Speaking Directly Into the Transmitter Clearness and distinctness of speech is of course the foundation of a satisfactory telephone conversation. The transmitter of the telephone is the result of years of study and experimentation by telephone engineers. It is of delicate adjustment and its fullest effectiveness can only be obtained through proper use. The lips should not be more than an inch from the transmitter, and the voice should be clear, not loud. Speak directly and distinctly into the mouthpiece. This will mean your satisfaction and that of the person with whom you are talking.
