BIG INVESTMENT IN

Talking Optimism.

been fully proved by the recent cam
paign Of the Studebaker corporation,
declares vice president E r Benson, IN
reviewing the results Of the recent ad-
timism." which Studebaker placed in a
large list Of publications
This advertisement was unique IN
that it did not even mention the Stude-
baker motor car, and alluded IN only
an accidental way to the corporation
itself It's text was an appeal TO pa
triotism, q review Of constructive
legislation and an analysis Of Ameri-
cas- obligation to the world IN the
present conditions Of war in Europe.
aP. Benson frankly admitted that
passed the highest hopes Of the Stude-
baker organization.
THE first response came from the
newspapers themselves" said he. The
fact that Studebaker was willing to
spend thousands of dollars in doing its
share toward a strengthening OF ma
tiOnal confidence found editors and
publishers in hearty accord. Hundreds
Of them complimented US and, through
editorial and news columns, helped US
drive home the truths We had empha-
sized in the advertisement
other manufacturers followed with
merchants caught the spirit-talked il
and bought space in their local papers
to extend their audience
In a general way conditions bright
oned, the list Of unemployed grew
smaller, money circulated more freely"

HELPFUL HINTS
To MOTORISTS


A cause Of fan brealzage that is rather
common is the running Of the fan when
it IS considerably out Of balance, which
results in setting up stresses that the
sheet metal often will not Withstand
II a fan does not turn true, it should be
made to do so by bending back into
position the blade that has been bent
or bringing the Circumferential wire or
band into shape II it has been distorted
Often a fast running fan. II much out OF
balance. will set up a noticeable vibra-
ton Of its own, which is hard on the ian
bearings as well as the fan itself
In motors Of high compression and
without a self starter, there Is a great
temptation to rock the shaft back and
forth against the compression in order
to turn it over past dead center. II the
spark is pretty well advanced 50 that
ignition occurs close to the beginning
Of the stroke there is danger that the
fresh charge Of gas will ignite Just as
the crank starts to swing in the wrong
direction. This will cause a heavy back
kick. which may cause serious injury
to the operator. Most motors OF recent
date, however, are equipped with some
means Of releasing the compression, so
that the shaft may be turned over easily
without rocking it.
In electric motors or generators IN
which graphite brushes are employed,
particular care should be taken TO keep
away, for, as graphite is a good conduc-
tor Of electricity, il is possible for a
ground or short circuit to for mWlth the
aid Of the dust and perhaps a little oil.
When working about a car on Jobs
that necessitate a good deal Of dabbling
in dirty oil. the stuff gets under the
fingernails and is extremely difficult to
remove Il a little soap is scratched off
a cake and worked under the nails be-
fore beginning work the oil will not
get far, and its removal will be an easy
matter A very effective method Of
getting oil under the nails so that 1t
is almost impossible TO get it out is to
wash the hands in Kerosene while they
are oily The kerosene carries the oil
farther under the nails.
A fact owners OF light cars should
bear in mind is that in a light machine
is more effective in loosening
nuts, bolts, screws and so on than in a
heavy car. This means, Of course, that
such things should be given no oppOr-
tunity to get loose, but should be well
taken care of with lock washers, split
pins and other trouble preventers-

travelled in a fast set" Her ways
were those of a woman of the world
and her gorgeous apartments a
trap"
Men of wealth from all walks of
life were her prey. She studied men
as the spider studies the fly. And her
capture was sure.
Beautiful, tasteful in her dress and
possessed of wonderful charm, she
had captured Arnold Cummins with
out effort. He just drifted into her
life through a gay theatrical supper
party one night and she made up her
mind the next afternoon she would
win him.
And Arnold fell" He managed to
keep his secret from his wife. Then
loves call became too strong-he
knew he must either give up Mar
guerite or Evelyn. Society was be-
ginning to gossip-it was just ques-
ton of days when Evelyn would hear
of his misdemeanor from the lips of
another.
So he had told plainly the I'M
painted truth
For days they did not see each
other. Dorothy Ellis, the beautiful
telephone girl, who had so aroused
Evelyn's suspicious with her great
beauty, knew the trembling voice that
fioated over the wire each day from
the Cummins' residence was the
wretched wife, hoping against hope
that her wayward husband would
mend his ways and return to her.
Dorothy Ellis, unconscious of the
pain she had caused, even chatted
with Cummins' little son when he
asked for Daddy"

tween the soft-voiced operator and
the son of the president of the firm.

with all the fervor of a woman's shat
tered heart with the woman upon
whom Arnold had fastened his affec-
tons. She put forth the child in an
endeavor to melt the steel of the
vampires" heart But in vain; Mar
guerite believed in the "eVen chance"
game of love. She was willing that
Arnold should stick to his wife but
his wife must first show the power to
attract him as she, Marguerite, had
succeeded in doing.
The scene is a painful one.
A final plea by Evelyn seems to
stir the "other woman" She hest
tates, grasps the child in her arms
and sits in silent thought a moment.
Marguerite has made up her mind.
Her course is clearly outlined ahead.
A change is taking place in her soul
and Evelyn, with thrill of hope,
recognizes it.
Marguerite, with her woman's intuf-
ton, thinks rapidly. She calls Cum
Minis on the phone and asks him to
hurry to her apartments. She then
calls on an old admirer on the wire
and invites him. Both men come to-
gether in the rooms of the woman
they both love.
Like thunderbolt, Marguerite an
nounces her engagement to the old
admirer and Cummins, stunned, falls
into a chair. This surprised admirer
takes Marguerite in his arms!
Arnold Cummins stumbled from
the room. He phoned his office.
Dorothy Ellis answers.
your wife is waiting for you, Mr..
Cummins," she said pleasantly.
Her voice seemed to awaken Cum
minis to his better nature. A moment
later he leaped into a taxi and start
ed for home.

Of the club simply through the me-

club full power over player even
after his contract has expired.

Nothing more was said about the

Although his music is practically
unknown in America except amo%
musicians, Baron Won Coboly is corr
sidered one of the leading composers
of Europe. He began studying music
when he was 5 years old, under prl-
waite instructors. Six years later he
entered the Royal Academy of Music
at Budapest, where he studied for five
years; then entering Heidelberg Uni
versity, where he graduated with the
degrees of B.A. and B.M. Later ne
studied under MoskOwsky in Paris.
He has played before all the crowned
heads of the Old World, with the ex-
ception of King George of England,
and has been decorated nineteen
times.
One of his compositions, The
Blacksmith of the Village" took first
prize at the international competition
at the Paris Academy. Since 1911
he has been on a tour of the world,
stopping in every country and in vfr
tually every large city. He has hunt
ed tigers in India and lodged bullets
in Mexico and cannibals in Africa.
In his scrapbook he has very fine
