CADILLAC CAR ONCE MORE PROVES
ITSELF MOST ECONOMICAL CAR
Remarkable record submitted by IS Cadillac Thirty owners
in New York metropolitan district who have driven their
cars 39S S84 miles at total cost for mechanical re-
pairs of $532l averaging II cents per car

users showed further that the aver
age gasoline consumption for the
touring car was one gallon for each
10 miles of travel and one quart OF oil
ior each 10 miles of travel. The
Demi-Ionneau car showed an average
OF p miles for each gallon of gaso-
line and 200 miles for each ouart of
oil. Some users obtained 20 or more
miles for each gallon of gasoline. but
the figures first given are averages
There is no Disgusting the fact that
this record has proven a revelation.
even to automobile manufacturers
themselves.
1t proves beyond a doubt what the
Cadillac company has always main.
tanned that the elements in motor
car construction which are absolutely
necessary to economy and immunity
from repairs are. scientific design.
standardization, accuracy of work
manship and correct alignment AL
so that necessity for repairs is the re-
suit of poor design, inaccuracy of
workmanship, Uniting and Incorrect
ly aligned parts.
A year or more ago they proved be-
fore the Royal Automobile club of
London that three Cadillacs could be
torn down. all the parts thrown in
pile; a portion of these parts discard
ed and new ones substituted. and the
three cars built up. again from the
heap of parts to run with absolute
sweetness and without so much as an
iota Of looseness.
For this the Cadillac was awarded
the Dewar Trophy.
And now comes another demonstra.
ton which simply emphasizes the
fact that the convictions of the Ca
dillac company as to the essentials
of a long-lived, serviceable and econ.
omical car are correct.
Cadillac measurements are finer in
a greater proportion of essential
parts than those of any other car in
the world-fner than the costliest
cars made.

Equivalent to 10 times around the
world-39S.SS4 miles AT a total re-
pair cost Of $5S.2l!
That is the amazing record reveal
ed by statistics just compiled from
the experience of IS Cadillac Thirty
owners in new York City and yicini-
ty.
1t is doubtful if the entire history
of travel and transportation-steam,
electric or gasoline-can show a case
Of parallel economy.
There was in this instance no spec
ial striving to attain a minimum.
The IS owners went their separate
ways with their 70 Cadillac Thirty
cars, each without reference to the
other.
They took no special precautions,
but drove where they pleased, when
they pleased, how they pleased, with
out the slightest idea that their ex-
perience was TO be made a matter of
record
At the close Of 1909 statistics We're
collected ami compiled from the
signed statements of the 10 users.
1t was found that the 10 cars had
travelled total distance Of 39S.SS4
miles, or a distance equivalent to l6
trips around the world.
Forty-siy of the owners mad no re-
pair cost whateyer-not single
penny-iH spite of the fact that some
of them had driven their cars as much
as $4,000 miles
The highest individual repair
charge for the entire years was that
Of one user, whose car cost him-for
special reasons which did not reflect
upon the construction in any way
$40 the distance it carried being
5000 miles
Eleven of the others expended dur
ing the year from % cents to so
cents. The average distance travel
ed was 531S miles per car, yet the
aArage Iep&tF expense was less than

In this season, when grease In vari-
GUS forms is essential to the preserva-
ton of good looks, 1t may be valuable
to know how to combine cosmetic
preparations.
For instance, few are difficult to
compound, but carelessness may
cause failure with even the simplest
Too much attention cannot be given
to reducing white wax and spermacet
to the proper temperature. These
form the basis Of almost all cold
creams, and on their manipulation de-
pends success. They are naturally
hard and must be softened by warm
ing slightly. II they become hot the
chances are that they will not again
harden to the desired consistency, as
the fats will have passed through a
chemical change. Also they must not
come in contact with any metal ex-
cept pure silver. Tin or iron affects
them deleteriously.
In this process the proper method
Of softening Is to break both wax and
spermaceu into small pieces about
the same size, so they will melt even
ly. The bits are put into china or
glass vessel, which is set in hot water.
This will heat the vessel, and the con-
tents will soften gradually.
When almond or other oil is to be
added pour 1t into the mixture while
the vessel is still in the hot water. AS
soon as the oil has been added re-
move the cup from the heat, and beat
in the other ingredients slowly with
a silver fork. II the mixture shows
signs Of hardening before the cream
is finished, return the cup to tho hot
water for several seconds. This may
be repeated several times.
All perfumed oils and essences are
added last, lest heat lessen the odor
The secret OF making creams lies
in mixing the ingredients slowly and
beating constantly. There is always a
combination OF elements difficult to
mix, as. for example, rose water with
fats. II the former is poured in bulk
into the liquid fats they will not alb
sorb It, but will harden alone, leaving
the rose water on the surface. The
same quantity Of fats will take an
enormous amount of sweet water II
the latter is added drop by drop

EIahbY skin.

Daily applications Of almond milk
are good for fiabby skin. The milk is
made by blanching thirty good sized
Jordan almonds and pounding them
in a mortar with half pint of rose
water. A small teaspoonful of granu-
lated sugar is put with the nuts to
bind the oil and water. The process
of blending is long one. for the wa
ter is added hardly more than drop
by drop until the nuts are reduced to
powder The preparation then stands
over night, when 1t is strained through
muslin. An even teaspoonful Of pow
dered alum is then dissolved in rose
water, Just enough to make a solution,
and the two are added to the milk.
This is used freely with massage for
the face, the milk drying on.

handle through which run the wires
by which the instrument can be con-
nected with a battery of it's own or
with the electric light fixtures In the

The bell-shaped device which SO
closely resembles the receiver Of a
telephone is detachable, and it is that
through which the electric current is
transmitted. When this apparatus is
hitched up to the source of power
used. the vibratory mechanism inside
is set into operation and the device is
passed over the head or body to pro
duce the tingling sensation which sets
the blood into circulation and from
which the benefits OF massage are de-
rived. Being so light and easily
manipulated, the instrument can be
used by the subject himself.

RsdtIma Toilet.

The French woman attaches as
much Importance to her bedtime toilet
as to that Of the morning. She never
tumbles into bed without removing
the soil Of the day, as so many Ameri-
can women do. and that is one reason
why she always looks so perfectly
groomed. AS child she was taught
the importance Of retiring sweet and
clean, and as she grew older one de-
tail after another was gradually add
ed TO her night toilet. Thus, the night
ly ceremonies became mechanical,
and It would be harder for her to
omit them than for an unaccustomed
person to perform them.

In paying visits a married woman,
calling upon another who is married,
may leave one of the Mr.. and Mrs.
cards, and then single one Of the
mans, the separate card being for the
husband Of the hostess. But many
smart women are Of the opinion that

in huge bow at one side. To the
