BOTH NEED THOUGHT
Analogy Between Matrimony and
the Purchase of a Car.
ALSO is SOME DIFFERENCE
For One Thing, II Relations Turn
Out Badly 1t Is Easier to Dis
pose Of the Auto Than to
Sever the Matri-
moniai Tie.

To two men, one discussing his in
tended purchase of an automobile, the
other talking about his forthcoming
marriage, it came the other day that
there Is after all a great deal that Is
similar in the choice of a wife or a
car. To be sure, once the marriage
between buyer and a is settled, d.
vorce may be had on slightly easier
terms, but 1t Is not the less important
that the cal and owner should be
compatible in temper just as 1t is with
the mar who picks out the girl he
would like to marry and proposes to
her.
The a who buys an automobile
should remember that he has to live
with that car to this extent, that 1t
goes with him on all his j%urneyings
along the roads and that on its actions
toward him his happiness depends. He
has to be as careful of the antecedents
of the automobile as he would be of
those Of the young woman with whom
he purposes to ally himself, that is.
antecedents which show the intrinsic
worth of the car and it's likelihood
of proving itself just what he wants.
Cars like wives turn out after pur-
chase or marriage very often not to
be what the new owner thought they
would be. Some cars wear well; 9th
ers are not long in developing faults,
serious faults, too, at times. 1t is
hard to delve below the paint and see
what the materials are. This emark
about paint applies equally to some
young woman just now, but in the
main Is fgurative. There are apt to
be blowout in families, just as there
are with automobile tires. The most
expensive ~exteriors are not always in
dicative of the finest of goods within.
Automobiles although made of met
ais and minerals require not a little
humoring on occasions and sometimes
show themselves full of whims. There
are few men who have the temerity to
say that they understand women; few
also who should say they understand
automobiles. There are many men
who can patch up things after a mis-
UNDERSTANDING, Dut Iudt Ii hoe w say
that they know in advance how a a
will turn out.
If a machine is perfectly s~atisfac-
tory, it will be retained. If it turns
out badly, it will be sold, that is, if a
buyer can be found. In this main point
there is a difference between matri-'
mony and motoring. Although a man
can find ways to rid himself of a matri-
monial bargain it cannot be done in
the offhand way that is characteristic
of turning away a secondhand car.
Not unlike the man who has bought
a car that turns out badly, the other
fellow is reluctant to admit that he
has had the worst of it. A motorist
almost always will stand by his bar
gain and for a time at least will de-
fend the make of car. Later on when
he has succeeded in passing it along
to some one else he is very likely to
speak his mind. That is not consider
ed ungallant in the case of automo-
biles, whatever it might be with wom-
en-. The market of used cars is very
full and this is a more dangerous held
than in buying a new car: A.s lance

sisting Of singing, reading, story
telling and debate by the pupils.
The debate was between Pro-

missed last Tuesday and today

crazed from liquor for when he
stopped at the Mason house on

inquired if this was where his
father lived. 1t is supposed that
he wandered on the hill and fell
in the reservoir. Parties had
been searching for him all week.

bell, Of Hall, w. Va, R. F. D.
He leaves four orphan children;
his wife died the early part of
