February Weather in
 April With Little Snow

Bill" Shakespeare said. Wa riety is the spice of life" and that is the reason Arkansas is SO attractive to many people. They can have the spice that best suits their taste. For example: Last Saturday was a real mince pie of a day and the aroma ex- tended far and wide. Nature mixed her pie with rain, snow, sleet, wind, etc., and colored it with gold from the sunbeams yelled in the mists of spring, tinted with June roses and covered with a meringue of flaky crystals of the beautiful.
 Indeed. slice of winter wea- ther was somehow lost out of the month of February by the wea- ther man this year, and it is charged against him that h e tried to work the lost piece of winter into the month of April. If so, he succeeded admirably for he produced some low tenn peratures for the time of year and was fairly successful in bringing to light again some of the overcoats which had been stored away for the summer.

Spectator Secures Big
 Exclusive Serial Story

In this issue of The Spectator will be found the first episode of the popular serial, The Million Dollar Mystery which we have been able to secure through our wholesale supply house at the re- quest of a large number of our readers and at an outlay fairly commensurate with the present age of expense curtailment.
 Arrangements have been made with the Star Theatre whereby the story will be s hoy twice each week m motion pictures. To be able to read and then see the parts aptly illustrated makes the Million Dollar Mystery far more interesting than the aver age serial of the present day, but the best and most interesting were the points sought and we feel that we struck a popular chord when we decided to give our readers this popular story.
 The first episode appears to- day-we want you to read it, then if you desire you may see it in motion pictures. but first be sure to read it. Another ep- isode. probably t wo episodes, will appear Friday and there after every Friday until luther notice. It will be shown at the opera house Monday and Thurs day nights.
 And, lest you forget-if your subscription is about to expire. better come in and pay up at your earliest convenience. The price of paper has increased about 30 percent during the past sixty days with the goal not yet in sight. This is going to force us to discontinue several sub- scriptions which are in arrears as we cannot afford to carry them any longer under the cir cumstances. We dislike to dc this but our four or five thous' and dollars capital invested in The Spectator will not permit us to carry more than the 12 to fiji. teen hundred dollars now on our books.
 Attend to this matter at once in order that you may not miss a single issue of Franklin cOunty's leading newspaper.

Popular Young Couple
 at Marriage Altar

A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the beautiful and spacious home of Mrs. w. A. Carter on West Market street this afternoon (Tuesday), the contracting parties being Miss Marjorie Carter and MT. Benja- min Burns. Rev. J. J. Gallo way was the officiating clergy man who tied the nuptial knot. pronouncing the ceremony which united the lives of these estima- ble young people of our fair little city. The wedding was a quiet one, witnessed only by the immediate relatives of the bride and groom.
 Promptly at the hour of one the bride and groom entered the parlor to the enchanting strains of Loehngrin's wedding march so sweetly rendered by Miss Anna Marr Bourland, unattended, and took their places beneath a beautiful chandelier with trailing English ivy entwined. During the ceremony, Miss Bourland quickly shifted to the Perfect Day." following with Mendel- ssohn's wedding march as they made their departure. The room was artistically decorated in green and white while the bride carried dainty bouquets of bridal roses and sweet peas. She was dressed in lovely cloth tailored suitof navy blue, with shoes and hat to match. The guests were received by Misses Jamie King and Kate Quaile.
 Mrs. Burns is the daughter of J. C. Carter, one of the pioneer residents of Ozark. highly res pected and well-known over this section of the state, and has grown to young womanhood in our midst. She is the only daugh- ter of Mir. Carter and was a mem- Der of the 1911 graduating class of the local high school She is a young lady of many graces of mind and person, who is capable of filling the home she will adorn with happiness and will prove to be truly a helpmate and compan- ion by the husband she has chosen to honor with her hand.
 The groom is from one of our best families. and by those who know him in this city, he is con sidered one of the substantial and coming young men of the country who will make his mark as a worthy son of honorable parents. He is the son of Mrs. l.. Burns of this city but for some time he has been connected with the Mulberry Hardware Company in our sister city on the west.
 The happy couple left immedi- ately after the ceremony for Fort Smith where they will spend a few days when the groom will take his prize to the cottage which he has beautifully fur. nished throughout. and which needed only her queenly presence to complete it.
 The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful gifts which were pleasing ly arranged in the library.

Balance Enojbes

h the not very distant past many automobile manufacturers gave but casual attention to the balancing of their engines, trusting to the vibra- tions of the road to disguise those due to the engine or divert attention from the engine builder to the road builder or to the tire maker. Great improve ments have been made, however, for it has been realized that proper balanc- ing means much to the efficiency and life of the entire machine, as well as increased comfort to the User, and the advent of the eights and twin sixes brought the subject still closer to the designer. There is still much that can be done in the way of balancing nov. ing parts and eliminating vibrations, and our best engineers are giving the subject careful study, although the ire quent changes of model delays the re- suits.

Abuse Extra Power of Motor.

Responsive to the popular demand for more power, designers are con- stantly placing larger motors in their cars. The judicious use of this added power is far less general than the above. Many drivers are not content unless the throttle is wide open," says a local expert
 Figures show the average life of the modern racing car to be one year. Yet the average motor car is ire quently driven with the ferocity of a racing car and is expected to last sev- eral times longer. The motor designed to make a maximum speed of 60 miles an hour is intended to be driven but a quarter or possibly half this speed in general use. This difference between the speeds at which the car ought to be run and the car can run, is provid- ed as a safety factor for emergency use. And still cars stand up remark ably we'll"

NEED CARE
Automobile Will Not Last Long if Those Accessories Are Sub-
 feet to Abuse.
STRAIN ON THEM IMMENSE
Lack of Proper fabrication Is a Ere quent Cause of Their Breaking Down-onee Impaired Repair Work Is Very Difficult
 and Slow.

That the springs require care or attention whatever may surprise many motor-car owners-at least 1t Is some thing they have never really thought of before. That springs actually may be abused is something that has never occurred 10 them except In a general way. Driving over rough. hOley or ''bumpy" roads at high speed may cause damage-of course they will readily agree to that-but that over loading, lack of fabrication or neglect 10 keep the various parts tight could cause trouble will be news to the ma iority.
 The average owner does not under stand lis springs as well as he does most of the other parts of his car. Springs are just springs in his esd- nation; he knows they are there to absorb vibrations. Before he bought his motor car he had springs on his buggy and they lasted for years. He never gave them any attention, yet it was rarely that one broke.
 But there is a vast difference be- tween the duty of carriage spring, driven slowly, and that of an auto mobile tearing over the roads at 40 springs increases as the square of the speed, so that the strain at 60 miles per hour is not six times what it Is at ten, but six times six or thirty six.
 Obviously, then, 1t is a mistake to treat automobile springs with the same inattention as those of a horse-drawn vel icie.
 The greatest abuse automobile springs fall heir to is lack of lubrica- ton. These members are starved more than any other because it Is or dinarily next to impossible to lubri- cate the leaves properly. Spring leaves, however, must be adequately fabricated, If rust and subsequent breakage is to be prevented. In an ordinary set of springs there are about 5000 square inches of bearing surface, giving great frictiHnal resist ance If the movement of one leaf on another Is not free and even. If this is not the case, the tires then have to assume part of the work of the springs. and the motorist will prob ably sooner or later have a break. Nothing, by the way, is more annoy ing to have happen on the road than the breakage of a spring. The car is practically helpless and the repair is difficult and slow.
