His weekend trips to the country club or Sunday at his country home is now a matter of few hours by motor, enjoying the trip and getting relaxation and rest throughout every mile.
 A few weeks ago, a business ac- quaintance of mine drove to the sales rooms for the purpose of selecting a new car. 1 asked him what uses he put his car to and he replied that out side of weekend tours in the summer and trips with his family about town on holidays and Sundays, his car was used almost exclusively in visiting diff ferent contracting jobs he had under way in different parts of the city, and at times, in different parts of the state.
 He said that I had no idea how his automobile enabled him to always bring a fresh and clear mind to bear on each problem. irrespective of the fact that he was doing more work now than he thought was possible 8 few years ago. He was at that time on a trip north, where he had big contract ing job under way. On the way to his destination were couple of smaller jobs. which he intended stopping to in spect During the past year he had at least fifteen to twenty different jobs, which he had been able to per- sonally visit and keep in touch with, the ones close in every day and the outlying jobs, once or twice a week. Since adopting that policy, he has not only secured better cooperation from his foreman and employees. but has gained reputation of always being on the job.''

The climax of a week of legal debate
over the selection of jurors came when
George F. vanderveer, counsel for the
defense, asked that the first four jurors
accepted by both sides be sworn in.
Charles F. Clyne, district attorney,
who had some time previously asked
that the jurors be sworn, Immediately
