FACIAL EVIDENCE

All your emotions leave their trace quite legible, upon your face. AS I go weaving down the street, I size up every man I meet; his face instructs me, not his dress; and seldom do I miss my guess. That man." say, "1s prone to growl: he looks as gloomy as. an owl; he has no check. rein on his bile; it takes an effort when he'd smile. His face is like a printed leaf, and all the contents speak of grief. And wonder gent of middle age gives way to foolish spells of rage. His temper is sud den thing that knows no curb or leading string, and it has made him look quite old ere half his neryous days are told. No doubt at home he is bear and holds reign of terror there, though on the street he tries to look as cheerful as a babbling brook. l do not want him for a
 friend, and so I'll dodge him till the end. That pompous skate who's com ing now thinks there's a halo on his brow. His face expresses misfit pride, but vacant is his head inside.
 No man has any right to be as proud
 as this old scout see, unless he has accomplished more than living till
 he's reached three score" And thus
 I'm musing as l chase; read 2
 record in each face, and cen the vic tlms must confess it's seldom that
 miss my guess. WALT MASON

U. s. TIRES IN AFRICA.
Helped british to Dust Germans
From Territory.

II was not only on the battlefield OF
Europe that United States tires proved
their value during the great war. Dur
ing those tense months when the eyes
OF all the world were centred on the
gigantic struggle against Germany In
Europe, few perons gave much aten-
ton to the determined campaign waged
by the isolated British force to break
the Kaiser's influence In Africa.
Northern Mozambique, the area in
which operations proceeded for more
than seven months, is vast country
stretching from the Zambes, Delta In
the south to the Rovuma River In the
north. bounded on the west by the Brit
ish Nyasaland and on the east by the
Indian Ocean. The total area is about
$4,000 square miles.
1t was in this work OF rushing sup
plies to the British fighters that United
States tires made record which has
endeared them to the transport officers
upon whose -houlders fell the respon-
sibility of furnishing supplies to the
British fighters. The demand for United
States tires from these sources was SO
lnsistent that the stocks OF all the deal
ers in that section of the world were
quickly wiped out.

In order to take care Of the rapidly
growing army OF Hudson Super-Six and
Essex car owners in this territory, Harry
s. Houpt, president of the Hudson Motor
Car Company OF New York, has taken
over the huge Hudson garage at 315
West Sixty-eighth street. near West End
avenue, as a service station.
with the possible exception of the
garage owned by the Automobile Club OF
America the Hudson building was the
largest garage in the city and It now
becomes the. largest building devoted
exclusively to passenger car service and
repair work maintained by any auto
mobile company in New York.
The step taken by Mr.. Houpt was a
radical one, but as he said II was a
necessary one in order TO take care Of
Hudson Super-Six and Essex car own
ers, which now number close to 10000
in this territory.

the small parts department has also
been considerably enlarged and here will

for customers needs.
One important feature Of the new

In buying a motor car II Is still a
good thing to study what Is hidden away
under the shiny hood and the floor
boards It Is still a good thing to take
into account the manufacturers reputa-
ton. 1t Is still good thing to make
some study OF the cars history and the
opinion OF its owners.
When the buyer has satisfied himself
on this score-when he is convinced that
the piece OF machinery he Is about to
buy Is the hest he can get for his price
or for any price, II that is merely de-
tail--then It Is time TO look to other
things.
People who buy motor cars should re-
member, for their own good, that n DASH

sation for a piece Of machinery which
does not perform satisfactorily.
The motor car investment, primarily
should be an investment In machinery.
