PREVENTION OF COSTS.

The best cure for shop expense,
however is prevention. This includes
not only the rotating inspection, but
also the closest sort of care of the
truck when it is in operation The
shop inspection locates worn parts,
before the damage becomes acute. The
other method and the most vital, is the
care of the truck, when in service.
The motor transport crops in oper-
ating its thousands of trucks, proved
the efficacy Of the prevention method,
by increasing its use of oil and grease,
and thereby cutting down to an UNI
belieVable low point, the cost of shop
repairs on trucks.
Uncle Sans figures are not open
for publication, but it can be said
roughly that with all the wear and
tear on trucks in France, with trucks
operated under pressure until they
could hardly be made to roll the care
of the machinery by the drivers was
such, particularly through fabrication,
that the repair bills were cut to a
figure, far, far below those of any com
mercial truck operating concern. even
1T Figured on the basis of civil life re-
pain costs. Even including trucks put
out of commission by hostile attack,
the repair bills were below those OF

AUTO RACES SCHEDULED
TO OFFER RED FLOODED"
SPORT AT COMING FAIR

American sports are usually Of a
vigorous. 'red blooded" variety, and
nothing appeals to the sons and daugh-
tiers Of "Uncle Sam" like contest
which calls for daring, skill and speed,
and In no game will be found a more
perfect embodiment Of these assets
than in automobile racing of type
to be featured at the State Fair which
will be held in Louisville the week Of
September S13.
During the two final days of the
State Fair, racing events will be staged
on the fine oval Of the race track in
front Of the grand stand and many
of the best-known stars Of American
and foreign tracks will 20 after estab-
lIshed records with savagery which
Is certain to result In surprising
changes In the sport-ledgers. During
the 1918 campaign many established
records were wiped out by Sig Rug
dahl, Fred Horey, Jules Ellingboe,
Leon Duray, Ray Lampkin and others
and 1t is expected that the contests
this year will develop new points and
bring the automobile features into
spectacular promise as one of the most
delightful, stirring and sensational Of
ferings of the entire celebration.
Hughdahl, who was sensation last
year with his famous Fiat Six, has
practically rebuilt his car and it is said
to be genuine whirlwind now. AS an
example Of its going quality 1t may be
said that on last Labor Day at Lin
coin, Neb, Hugdahl travelled a mile
in 1.01 go and two miles in 2.02 go, the
old records being beaten several sec
onds in each instance. Horey has a
new, mount about which he Is said to
be secretive and in which he promises
to confound his rivals.
Ellingboe remains faithful to his
famous wildcat and will tool this
wonder at the Fair. Duray has jump
ed to the Case racing outfit in place Of
George Clark, and Lambkin, who has
sold his Sunday" will blossom out
with an American instead Of foreign
product.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems the
Especially for Washington Women

THERE is one type of puzzled
and distressed girlhood that
writes to me more frequent
ly than any other; it is the girl
who though living at home is
practically homeless. Sometimes
she earns her living and some
times she does not, but always she
Graves the unattainable-a home
that will be more than the place
where she eats and sleeps.
And when she is a wage Garner
the case is harder than when she
is not, because after eight hours
work she requires recreation al
most more than she does food and
sleep. All the youth in her cries
aloud for it-that pent-up youth
that during business hours has
been trying to act as if it were
an automatom.
The Call of Youth Forgotten.
But her parents have forgotten
the call of youth that a score of
years ago made restraint as irk-
some to them as it is to their
daughter today. They say very
naturally that they work harder
than she, and very likely it is true,
but they cannot possibly need a
normal social life as much as she
needs it. The needs Of youth are
imperative. Something goes wrong
if they are denied.
So when a girl writes me that
she is meeting a young man on
the sly, and is worried over having
to do so, know even if she does
not confide in me the sort of home
she has.
Perhaps the poor, overworked
parents feel that they are doing
all they can for their oldest daugh-
ter and that in denying her a lit
tie legitimate liberty they are
shielding her from temptation.
But if they could look over my
mail, some morning, they would
realize there is no surer means
of exposing a girl to peril than
to keep her from having a normal
social life at home.
Very likely they will "pooh
pooh" this as childish and shall
