Automobile Business
Good In California

How would you like to tell a man to
stay out of your place of business be-
cause he disturbed the routine-and chen
have him come in voluntarily and make
q $7s5 purchase from youi
That was the experience of Manager
Dalton Bolton of the Los Angeles retail
branch of the Chevrolet Motor Company
of California, who wayee 'GOod Luck
to Arthur Hinman and his wife when
they left the southern city last week
for year 5 tour of the United States in
their s490' Chevrolet.
For many years Hinman was famil-
lar figure along the Los Angeles row.
He was in and out of all the big shops,
basket of sandwiches and candies on
his arm, doing brisk business with
mechanics and statesmen alike.
Naturally, Hinman could not get to all
patrons during the noon hour, when or
binary shop rules call for cessation Of
business, so in most cases he called
when the men were all back at their
routine work, and more or less inter-
ruption was in order.
Manager Bolton was among the vic
Tins and when cars promised Chevrolet
patrons at certain hour were not ready
he was able to trace the reason to Hin
man and his tasty eatables. The sand
wich man was told in firm but gentle
language that he would have to confine
his business activities to suitable hours
or stay away from the Chevrolet
shops.
81 come in here to look at your cars
more than to sell my goods" was Hin
man s reply. This looked like 'Camou-
flage' to the Chevrolet dealer, and he
was more than surprised when Hinman
came into his office a few days later,
laid down a check, and declared he was
ready to take delivery of a Chevrolet
touring car.
Hinman asserts his mechanical edu-
cation is founded on sandwiches. "I
visited every shop in town selling my
stuff" he says. 81 had plenty of time
to listen to both mechanics and patrons
when they were speaking their real
minds. l kept track, and when I was
able to check up knew definitely just
what ear gave the most satisfaction and
hee least grief. Then l planked down
my money and am now off on year 5
jaunt with my wife,

abled him to make real tour. In his
years wanderings he and his wife will

country, and other points Of general in.

trip will be New York city, and on the
return to the coast the Grand Canyon
will be among the stops scheduled for

End of the War

every day I hear that question
sprung. I am no seer in spangled
robe, no wizard full of gall, who
looks into a crystal globe and
tells what will befall. No

when the war will end. Oh,

there will be rain; and I can tell
by sundry signs when there'll be

can't be beat. But when you to

war will end, Search me-" say,

GERMAN ARMY is
NOT LICKED YET
SAY LONDONERS
Disposition In Berlin Is To Argue
With America-Austria To
Stand With Germany

LONDON. October lS-( Associated
Press " If the war should be brought
to sudden cone lusiOn il will be
through political or moral factbrs and
not through great military victory on
the field. This is the view expressed by
military experts here, after an exhaus-
tive study of the great German retreat
from every standpoint. The position
held IA the Kaiser's forces on the west
ern front at present is not considered
to be periIous although certain positions
on an ever changing front may be reu
dered dangerous at times.
The opinion of military critics is
strengthened by the retreat to the
Hunding line which the Germans are
carrying out and which is considered to
be one of the most successful retreats
of the war from the enemy 8 viewpoint
The opinion is expressed that although
the Germans have doubtless been forced
to retire faster than their original plans
called for their losses in men, munitions
and supplies have been comparatively
small for such large operat ion.
Throughout Germany there is feel
ing that America is asking too much
in requiring hostages for good faith and
radical change in the governmental
system and Berlin dispatches indicate
a strong anti Wilson tendency, not only
in the ranks of the military party but
even among the pacitsts.

Baron Won Burian, Austro Hungarian
foreign minister, in a despatch from
