The average motorist who has an

told to the automobile editor of the

Women, whose husbands buy gas

cents a gallon thereby, think nothing
Of asking the supply man to see that
all of the tires have plenty of air,
and the radiator is filled with water"
The supply man ubligingly does as
requested, but he is so hot under the
collar that he doesn't dare to go near
the gas tank until he cools off.
A young woman, just learning to
drive, asks if she will have to put
any more air in the tires before she
gets home. she is told that barring
punctures and blowouts. the supply
will not have to be replenished for at
least day or two. -.
Such Is Life s. ..
Some motorists ask, the advice of
the supply man, and after getting it
they proceed to ignore his Judgment.
Then there's the fellow who comes
into the station at thirty miles an
hour, fails to stop his machine, and
takes out a corner of the building.
He expects the station man to pay
for the damage to his car.
Also the man who tells you that he
only gets fifteen miles to the gallon
on the kind of gasoline you sell, but
another brandt gives him twenty. He
merely trades with you because he
hasn't got enough on hand to take
him to his favorite station.

lished in Wednesdays paper intimates
that automobiles used as pleasure cars
may be included in the commodities
which the federal government will re-
fuse to ship in freight cars. Well and
good! Let the government stop the
shipping of pleasure cars, but that
should not mean stoppage OF the
shipment of assenger-carrying cars.
No man buys motor car these days
for pleasure. His idea behind the
purchase is to get a vehicle which VIII

also about town while on his business.
For six days he uses it as business

he takes an outing. Would you call
that outing pleasure? No, absolutely
no! 1t is needed recreation which
enables him to work the better during
the week to come.
And in these days when the war has
speeded up business to the highest de,
gree an automobile is absolutely
necessary to the businessman to enable
him to transmit his work. Take his
car away from him and the result will
be a general slowing up of business
