ALONE, TWO GIRLS
 GO NEARLY ACROSS
 CONTINENT IN GAR

Girls can qualify as skilled automo- cept where it takes sheer strength, they are as well adapted to the diff cult work as are their brothers"
 That was the opinion advanced by Haysel Prest and Edith Ritchie, two pretty Oklahoma City girls who ar rived on the coast last week after a 2,500 mile tour from their home. All the way across the plains and desert and mountains they were studying their car, and at the end of the trip knew automobiles backward and for ward. So intimate was their knoWl- edge that they went over their Chevro- let "490' roadster in detail, and ''over hanleG' it as completely as could the most skilled mechanic.
 When we purchased. our Chevrolet we didn't know how to even shift gears, and our friends told us we were crazy for starting out said Miss 'Prest. But they didn't know the car or the adaptability of women to the role of mechanics; we came through without a bit of serious trouble, and learned a whole lot about what makes a motor car go-and what can make it stop.
 "Of course, we didn't have any real grief on the road, for our car seemed to take pity on our ignorance and be- haved like a thoroughbred. Naturally, we didn't know thing about how to oil a machine, and the result was we gave our motor too much lubricant That fouled the plugs, but we tinkered around and soon found our trouble Then we slid our clutch too much, and had to fix that Some smart me chanic in a garage told us our motor wasn't timed right, and we monkeyed around changing that before we dis covered it was all right in the first place.
 ~Punctures caused US the hardest work and we had 10 of them. Once we got the hang of it, though, the patches we put on stuck in air tight fashion and then we didn't mind so very much when the rim began to bump as sig nal we had picked up another nail. The entire trip was one of pleasure, anC we learned that two girls and a goot car can so anywhere they want to, and | not call on men for help. either" | The trip taken by the fair Okla
 homans embraced 2,500 miles of roaC 1 that they classed as good, bad and very bad. In one place they were forced tt 1 leave their machine anchored on tn road for two days before a huge moto, truck which was mired in the marrow | highway ahead of them could be pullet out with six mules. There was n

COST OF AUTOS WILL BE LOWER
 DEALERS STATE
Local Automobile Dealers
 Tell Their Opinions On
 What Will Result From New Government Ruling

The recent ruling made by the United States government, permitting automobile manufacturers to turn out 15 per cent of the number of cars daily manufactured before the war, has caused widespread comment all over the United States. Previously automobile manufacturers were only allowed to turn out half their daily pre-war output. The present jump of 50 per cent will alleviate the tightness in the market according to some local dealers, and will allow the automobile men all over the country to sch many more cars each month.
 What local automobile dealers think about the increase in production would fill a large sized volume, but the opin- ions would be nearly the same in all cases. Some dealers, however, state that nothing can be said as to what will happen in the automobile market until time tells the tale.
 T am under the impression that the mere fact of the automobile manufac- turers returning to their normal con- dition in the manufacture of passen- ger cars, even though fewer cars ars made within the next go days, will in itself establish confidence to the buy ing public,' said G. H. Reubens, of the local KiSsel agency. T am still confident however, that it will be some time before the factories can get back to their normal production. I am also of the belief that high prices will be maintained for at least six months more"
 MT. Rabbit, of Rabbit Poison com pany, says: "The public is holding back from buying automobiles at this time because they think the present high prices will only endure for a short time, then big slump will come. The fact with the manufacturers of the Buick, Chandler, Cadillac and Jordan cars is that they will permanently fix the prices for which their cars will sell for the next two years, making it at reasonable figure and assuring no later drop in prices They will dis continue their high war prices imme- | diately.7

From time to time requests come

Twin City boys are stationed. The
cost of producing the paper at the
