 ingSucCessful School for Fair Sex

Arg all these pretty women mo- Anapfcs substituting, for men called l1to thc army?' asked visitor to the sas M. C. A. Automobile ScEtooI in Nartford the other day.
 No, indeed" replied A E. Nord- stfom, principal of the school "This ts t1e Woman's Automobile class and they are learning all about self !. sts rters, selft shoppers and the why and wherefore of everything which makes a motor behave or misbehavc. 44ses, there arc almost as many wo- Tlen taking the Automobile Course as there are men Automobile instruc- tton for women has become very pop 'ular indeed. They realize the fact that it is not only fine thing, but, very essential if one is to get the most out Of ones car, and besides with So many of the men gone and going% ssxgss' others must take their nlaces.' N fIt certainly is worth while to visit Ssfhe Automobile School of the Y. M. sscs A. Hillyor Institute. and sec tho eauipr2ant which is used for giving ' tha. .yery highest type of expert in ssstruction.
 Ss Some of the equipment which espe- c{aily interestea the writer.j is the way ' sw8niclr the motors are n1ountcd on N AhTocks. which makes it easy for the 7 sFAtudent4 to work on them and adjust Hives. timers. carburetors. etc. In fS nts the smallest detail is covered in zkmost thorough manner. The mo- :. zrs ased are the Hudson Six, Ford, ssseeA D3uvl bia. Overland. and Rec. Tho S&s4NHcland Motor is of special interest Sak 1t is cut away in such a manner 4 aSsto make the operation of the pis- fx>zN NrxGS x,nIt- @E ~1J s1sarts Of a, motor understandable and clear to any one of tho least mechan- lcaffy inclined.
 Also the writer's attention was at- Extracted to the Rec which is a com Alete chassis equipped with electric Tights, self-starters and everything, but T1e body. This car being stripped
 makes 1t very, easy to work on. .4j jsyerything, such as the adjustment W the clutch, brakes, etc, is seen and Understood clearly by the individual.
 Then there are numerous other parts, such as sectional carburetors, k Which are really miniature gas plants, .sssrorting motors, magnetos, water humps, and all the other parts used ssffn3 an engine.
 EBy this time the visitor was deep N My Interested and asked several ques- FTNHlCH were dnSWSTSt I1OeS Everyone understand these things" asked the writer. Isn't it difficult for some to grasp everything?"
 'Well" said MT. Nordstrom, there are a few who find 1t hard to grasp everything, but on the whole you would. be surprised at the way in (which the majority dig right in and E. get just what they set out for, And then also the course Is planned and layed out systematically.
