Bevillard of the Anaheim Ignition Depot, his former employer, leaving various unpaid debts behind him. In Bevillard's opinion, Green went to Dallas, Texas, his former home, where his parents were at one time wealthy. Green told some of his debtors, according to Bevillard, that he would pay up when he received money from the estate. He did receive some money, but left many debts unpaid. He sold radio sets for Bevillard and was rather well known about the city. Green left a car he had been purchasing in front of an auto finance company with a letter saying he had been called to River-side on business, but would return soon and settle his account. U. P.

The totem pole erected by motorists to the "Great Spirit of Departed Milage" is rapidly becoming a landmark at Newberry Springs on the road between Los Angeles and Phoenix. This pole was originally erected to support a sign but the sign has long since disappeared and in its stead hundreds of old tires have found their last resting place. Earl Wileox, camp department manager of the Western Auto Supply Co., while making a tour of inspection of the auto camps throut the west, took the trouble to make a careful examination of the totem pole and discovered that although the pile consisted of over 300 old tires, not one Western Giant Cord was found on the stack. The reason for this, declared Willeox, is that the Giant Cords are built according to Western Auto specifications which call for a tire that will withstand the rock and sandy roads of the west, as well as produce long mileage on improved highways.

Is there any objection to using this oil in other models? Answer: Motor oil will act satisfactorily as a lubricant in any transmission case, but its use is not general due to the fact that most gear boxes are not designed to retain a light grade of oil, such as motor oil. The new model cars you speak of are designed to keep this oil from throwing out of the case, and consequently motor oil functions satisfactorily. It should not be put into a car that has not been specially built for this purpose, as the oil will leak or throw out and lubrication will not be accomplished. Question: What is the best oil to use in a Ford timer, and how often should it be applied? Answer: Cleanliness is the important feature in connection with the proper functioning of the Ford timer. This is accomplished by frequent application of a light oil such as light motor oil. Misfiring of the Ford engine is often caused due to the pitting of the timber. This in turn is caused by dust and dirt collecting with the oil in the timber and forming gritty matter which causes sparking. As first mentioned, if the timer is kept clean this difficulty is avoided. A good practice is to apply oil with an ordinary soult can to the timer before going on long runs on approximately ever 150 miles.

Miss Ederle, swimming in faultless style, obtained revenge when she clipped seven seconds from the 200 yard free style record established in St. Augustine last week, her time today being 2 minutes 22 1-5 second. Little Talks on Thrift If you were told that a more acute public consciousness of the values of thrift would mean higher wages, shorter working hours and better standards of living, you would be included to give ready ear to anything that would bring about these happy conditions. Yet it is true that we all are paying a penalty for public lack of thrift. This point was well brought out by Secretary Hoover in a recent public address in which he said, "The reduction of waste means that a considerable part of our population who are usually employed in this unnecessary motion can be directed towards the production of other commodities and thus their addition to the national standard of living; it means a lowering in cost of living; or it means more goods for the same money. To our workers it means less labor, more time for recreation, and no attack upon wage levels; to our farmers it means an increased proportion of traffic is threatening to get beyond all control, is planning construction possibly three levels. Stores would have entrances on all levels, which and pedestrians. Cars would run underground. New York is faced for a population in 1900 twice as large as the present 6,000,000. It appear in the future is suggested in the drawing below, by Dobuzhin-tchin at top illustrates the super-street plan." THE BEST OF ADVICE BALANCING THE WORLD How fortunate it is that neither the old men nor the young men dominate the world! From the standpoint of youth, life seems to stretch away into an endless future; from the stand point of age, to go back but a little way in the past. In youth life presents us a picture in which the objects appear a great way off, as though we had reversed our telescope; while in the end everything seems so close. To see how short life is, a man must have grown old, that is to say, have lived long. Youth and inspiration and experience, working together, give us the proper balance. "As the years increase, things look smaller, one and all," Schopenhauer observes, "and life, which had so firm and stable a base in the days of our youth, now seems nothing but a rapid flight of moments, every one of them illusory; we have come to see that the whole world is vanity!" Time itself seems to go at so much slower pace when we are young; so that not only is the first quarter of life the happiest to most persons, it is the longest of all; it leaves more memories behind it. If a man were put to it, he could tell you more out of the first quarter of his life than out of two of the remaining periods. Why is it that to an old man his past life appears so short? Schopenhauer explains: "His memory is short; and he so fancies that this life has been short too. He no longer remembers the insignificant parts of it, and much that was unpleasant is now forgotten; how little, then there is left! For in gen- Likes Women for Accomplishments By Lillian Campbell A deep admiration for my own sex and interest in all women are going in the world of business and for the betterment of the race makes my job of writing "The Women of Today" column most congenial. I was born in London, England, but came to Canada with my parents when I was a very little girl. In my early teens we moved to the United States. Received my education in Canada and this country and married a native-born American citizen long enough ago that the new law affecting the citizenship of foreignborn women does not affect my vote. When circumstances forced me into the business world a few years ago I took the first work that offered—proof reading—hoping that later I might get a chance to do real newspaper work—a lifelong ambition. My previous literary efforts had been largely confined to writing an book reviews and papers for various study clubs with which I was associated. I have a lively young son, aged fifteen, who considers me old-fashioned, of course. He keeps me in touch with boys and girls of high school age. I am not at all worried about the young girls of today in spite of all the algrums sounded about them. In fact I think them adorable with their bob heads, short skirts and wholesome, outdoor atmosphere. Some of them go to extremes, no doubt, but all of them like to shirk their mothers and grandmothers—a trait I seem to recall noticing in myself and friends when we were girls. I am dreadfully ordinary. I love children, books, music (even jazz when it is not too jazzy), a game of bridge, an occasional dance and baking. I believe woman's place is in the home primarily, and that the successful wife and mother is the happiest because she has a recent public address in which she said, "the reduction of waste means that a considerable part of our population who are busily employed in this unnecessary motion can be directed towards the production of other commodities and thus their addition to the national standard of living; it means a lowering in cost of living; or it means more goods for the same money. To our workers it means less labor, more time for recreation, and no attack upon wage levels; to our farmers it means an increased proportion of the consumers' dollar as the tax which he receives." From predation are subject to reductions of the cost of marig- It would not be possible in scope of this article to go over various forms of waste which place such heavy penalties in the economic lives of everyone. Engineering Council recently ported that in many ways amounts to 25 or 30 percent of cost paid by the consumer of the producer of raw materials. Department of commerce estimates that the annual waste in transaction alone for which the ash is responsible aggregates up to 000,000. These are forms of waste that are impersonal. They reach in every avenue of business activity and therefore are difficult to correct. One thing that will aid tremendously is more widespread individual thrift. The man who is thrifty in his own habits is pretty apt to be thrifty in the duties he performs for others. As thrift permeats the nation, individual economic conditions are bound to improve. It is our duty to preach and teach thrift as well as to practice it. Make thrift general. In it lies the solution of many of our most serious economist problems.

If a man were put to it, he could tell you more out of the first quarter of his life than out of two of the remaining periods. Why is it that to an old man his past life appears so short? Schopenhauer explains: "His memory is short; and he so lancets that this life has been short too. He no longer remembers the insignificant parts of it, and much that was unpleasant is now forgotten; how little, then, there is left. For in general, a man's memory is as imperfect as his intellect; and he must make a practice of reflecting upon the lessons he has experienced, if he does not want them both to sink gradually into the guilt of oblivion. A man's recollection of what has happened always becomes proportionately shorter, the more things that have occupied him in life. The things we did in years gone by, the events that happened long ago, are like those objects on the coast which, to the seafarer on his outward voyage, become smaller every minute, more unrecognizable and harder to distinguish. Tacitus, in Agricola, avowed that flatterers are the worst kind of enemies, and another ancient, Phadrus, opined that they who delight to be flattered, pay for their folly by a late repentance. Worth repeating here is La Rochefoucauld's time-tested observation to the effect that we sometimes think we hate flattery, but we only hate the manner in which it is done. "Gallantry of mind," he averred, "consists in saying flattering things in an agreeable manner." Boast to a stranger, complain on to your friends. One cannot possibly bake bread for the whole world.
