only safety is to flee. as she would
from any other.
However, ali of these perns to
young womanhOod are not half as
menacing as they sound The street
maSher is a cur dog with a yellow
streak in him, who quails before the
contemptuous glance or a steady eye,
and who sinks away at the slightest
intimatiOn that he is going TO be pun
ished for his offence. AS for the fir
tatiOus employer, any girl with an
ounce Of discretion in her head can
sldeSIep his obnoxious attentions, or,
IL this can't be done, she can put on
her hat and so out and look for an
other situation
Beauty doesn't have to be sacrificed
to the beast unless she is willing to
be a victim
There are exceptions to every rule
Occasionally innocence is betrayed, and
virtue is prosecuted, but generally
speaking, the girl whose employer
makes love TO her, and the young WOm-
an who is followed on the streets, have
only themselves 10 blame. They have
at least looked willing.
The girl who is always rolling her
eyes at her employer, and looking
sentimentally at him, and who sits
on the desks and swings her feet
and gives the office, as far as she
can, an atmosphere of a boudOir
hasn't any right TO complain when
her employer chucks her under the
chin and calls her by her Christian
name anu De6lAS the Gays WOrk with
a kiss.
Her own Fault.
And what right has the girl who
dresses flashily and cOnspicuOusIy on
the street, and whose eyes are row
ing hither and thither in search OF
admiration, and who giggles and laughs
loudly in public places to complain if
some man mistakes her for the sort
of woman she looks like instead OF
the kind of woman she is? The girl
who dresses quietly, and who con-
ducts herself with dignity, who keeps
her eyes steadily before her and goes
sedately about her own affirs, can 20
unmOlested from one end Of the coun-
try to another.
In beWailing the danger that a girl
is in from the men she meets nv
correspondent OverlOOks the fact thar
this peril is frequently imaginary.
There is nothing more common than
for a. woman's vanity to make her
think that men are in love with her
when they are not and that she is
pursued by those VINO, in reality, have
never given her a second thought
Therefore, 1 advise my correspond
ent to pluck up her courage. Per
haps she is not as beautiful as she
imagines, nor so ravishing to the
masculine fancy, and she may even
exaggerate the danger that she is in
when she daily takes her walks
abroad At any rate, I will warrant
that if she will dress sensibly and
act sensibly men Will no further mo-
lest her.

MOTOR|ST SUGGESTS
DISCUSSION OF ROADS
State Boards Should Confer
With Manufacturers of
Trucks and Horse Vehicles.

A meeting of leading State highway
commissioners and the manufacturers
of motor trucks and horse-drawn vehicles
is the suggestion of George c. Dienl.
chairman Of the good roads board of
the American Automobile Association.
Mr.. Diehl contends that the time has
arrived when those interests can adj
vantageously discuss the drafting of
suitable legislation governing the width
of tires and the weight Of loads.
After an interchange of views" said
prepare laws. the passage % Of wSica
would be practically assured when put
forward by the chief highway officers
Of the various States.
Many States have enacted laws
which endeavor to resulae the width
Of tires of vehicles, but unfortunately
there has not been strict enforcement
Of these regulations. The width of
tires is one of the important factors
in highway construction and mainten-
anec. Narrow tires, especially during
roads and in many instances, where
the roads are weak. break through the
surface, with the subsequent rapid
destruction of the highway.
"One great difficulty in enforcing
wide tire ordinances with horse-drawn
ton is required with wide tires. on
slippery clay or hilly roads 1t is very
difficult in wet weather to manage a
vehicle with wide tires,
owing to its tendency to skid and slide
into the bitches. Instances are fire.
quent where in a journey a farmer
must drive over miles of slippery road
and only have a few miles Of improved
highway, in which case he would nat
urally prefer to use narrow tires for
the entire distance, rather than to at
tempt the use of wide tires over the
slippery section of the road.
There Is no question that protection
and economical maintenance of I'M
proved highways require that narrow
tires should be discarded, and ordin-
ances must be enforced which will pre-
vent their use on main Travelled high
ways which have been improved at
great expense. II a vehicle owner de-
sires to use narrow-tire wagons on slip
perry roads. he must be absolutely pre-
vented from using the same tires on
improved roads. Equal. II not greater,
can be done to the highawy
with tires of insufficient width on
motor trucks. There Is no State where |
wide tire ordinances are drawn which |
relate to both horse-drawn and motor !
driven vehicles. or wher a scientific |
attempt has been made to prepare such |
ordinances or where a strict enforce
ment Is had"

Paint Is Important
Factor in Automobile

1T is not to be supposed that an au-
tomobile owner ever thinks Of the finish
on his car in terms Of pounds OF paint
says a motor car dealer Of this city,
but it is interesting to know that the
finish on your automobile has a definite
weight.
On one of our big cars, for instance.
the paint used on the body weighs more
than twenty-seven pounds. OF course,
less paint would be required for a
smaller car. and more for a larger enc
as well. The number of coats applied
would also have something to do with
the quantity used. In our plant every
automobile body receives seventeen
coats OF paint before IL is sent to the
final drying room. Each coat. Of course.
is rubbed down before the next Is ap-
piled. and the process Of painting re-
quires about three weeks. The finish
on 4 good automobile body is superior to
that on a lot Of furniture and pianos

be cared for with some consideration

BEGINNERS URGED
TO USE GREAT CARE
Should Drive Slowly and Not
Through Walls, Says Head
Of Automobile Concern.

Every automobile owner has a dan
gerous period in his motoring career
and 1t is usually during the first month
Of ownership" says the general mana
ger Of big automobile company. Il
have often wondered why this Is SO
but 1t Is fact that nearly all of the
accidents that befall a driver take
place during the initial month
This Is probably due to the fact
that beginners are over-anxious to
learn how to drive and in their ex-
citement usually forget 70 act quickly
enough when occasion requires it and
as result something happens. The
best advice can give to a new driver
10 do not lose your head and do not
drive too fast at the beginning.
why is 1t that some beginners find
that the widest doors are not wide
enough for their cars and insist on en-
tering the garage via thick brick
wall? This common accident, usually.
Is the result of going too fast. Keep
cool. Watch your car. Drive very
slowly until you understand the fJinc-
tions of each lever and button and you
can avoid embarrassing mixups-
Beginners should be careful during
the first month, and they will not only
avoid accidents. but the proper care of
the car at this time undoubtedly will
result In longer life to the machine
Owners must not neglect the care of
the car. The most important thing Is
that of fabrication. Frequently we hear
Of new owners. In their absent-minded-
ness, forget to lubricate the motor, with
the result that bearings are burnt and
other damage done. Remember that IL
Is during this period that you are work
