elatien in the purchase of our autono-
 bile. There is one marked difference
 in the buying of first automobile to-
 day and the same step a few years ago. however. It is that in the present time there is more of an unalloyed pIeaSure in the occasion than there was before The natural development of the industry has robbed the first pur- chase of much of that sweetly painful after-effect the pioneers were likely to know; today we have the benefit of the experiences of hundreds of thousands of our fellows in their first buys and, too, the honest and conscientious ness of the manufacturer take much of the danger of disappointment out of the operation.
 The first buyer of today can more readily take the word of the maker and his representatives as to the merits Of the car. Dishonesty is no more tolerat- ed in the marketing of motor cars to- day than in any other line. The en- be practical of course as befits a grown-up boy: he must be cute. cum ming, alert. awake to all the tricks of the trade; careful with his ways and means and keenly alive to all ths blandish1nents of the unduly optimistic salesman. It is being all these things that adds to the zest of the undertak- ing. But he need not be nearly so alert and on his guard as at some times in the past. His predecessors in the game have paved the way for him. and man ufacturers and saIesmen do not now regard him as legitimate prey, to be sold a car at all hazards and regardless of what he desires.

 It will be remembered that a few weeks ago 8 story emanating from Texas was sent abroad to the effect that DePalnaa had lost his nerve and had retired from the racing game for ever When traced to its source, it was learned that this gossip had been circulated by an unknown man who represented himself as being DePaluaa. The Italian driver at this time was not instead of thinking of retiring he was making active preparations to enter the Indianapolis race. The story of his alleged retirement was a. sad blow to racing enthusiasts for DePaina stands high in the regard of sportsmen and is perhaps the most popular race driver in the United States today.
