'RED-HEADED CUPID
LEADS 40 LOVERS
TO MARRIED LIFE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct. s.
Dan Cupid" has a self-appointed
helper working behind the money
order window in the San Francisco
poStofice.
His name is Dan Slattery. and
he's steered at least twenty couples
of postal employees along the rosy
road of romance.
Dams a funny little red-headed
Irishman. possessed Of a pair of
bright blue eyes that twinkle, and
a broad mouth that's ntinually
breaking into a whimsical grin.
His specially is framing" mar
riages among postoffice employees,
having them meet one another by
man at the wedding!
The minute a new girl joins the
postoffice staff, Slattery sizes her
up and decides what fellow will
do best. The girl is doomed"
How He Does Tt
Dan nonchalantly drifts into her
department some day, and asks if
she doesn't like to dance. A smile
goes around the department.
The girl says yes" Then Dan
remarks casually
I'D like to have you drop
around to Slattery's Ball next Wed
nesday night"
Nobody to go with"
"Oh, I'll take you!'
The man Dan has chosen is there
Dan introduces them and leaves.
following Sunday he invites
them to visit him at the lodge" a
- Jnr ell,
in lovely Marin county.
AS rule after one Sunday spent
at the lodge" the couple can be
left safely, whereupon Dan goes
to work on the next pair.
Why He Does It
Why does Dan Slattery give a
dance each month, "Slattery's Ball.
at his own expense, just to have peo-
pie meet, marry and be happy?
Why does he throw open his
lodge" to young folks who other
wise would never know one an
other?
Just because he believes that great
happiness lies in marriage-and-
Because he's not married himself!
Aged Forty
Slatery is aged forty. He should
have been married long time ago.
He says SO himself. with something
pathetic to his slow, whimsical
smile.
There was one girl once" he ad-
nits, land she meant a great deal
to me. asked her to marry me-
"She said she liked me because of
my way, but that she was sorry
she couldn't be my wife.

alabaster forehead, and a masterful
way"
and right after that" said Dan,
"she married one of the fellows that
I introduced her tot"
Slattoriy didn't blame her for
showing good taste That incident
showed him where his genius lay.
HOW It Comes Out

office Cupid" declares. You can't
dispute mathematics. Throw a man
and woman into one another's COM
pany at the proper time, in the proper
place, and there's bound to be a mar

Of all the marriages that the post

has never been a failure.

brighter than it is now and may be-
come a brilliant comet.
The new comet is the first to be
discovered this year and is the fifth
to DR.. Metcalf's credit. The Har-
ward observatory has verified the dis
covery and has picked it up usually
and by Photographic observation.
DR.. Metcalf, who is CSongrega-
tional clergyman, has devoted him
self to the study of the stars for
many years, and is an authority on
astronomical work. He has invented
several valuable improvements for
the telescope, and has discovered
nineteen asteroids, of which seven
teen were new, the other two being
rediscoveries of asteroids that had
been found and then lost.

DR.. Metcalf said he first saw the
comet at South Hero, VT, on August

with a declnation of 20 degrees

comet is very near the sun, but is

fact that almost all of the side

This is due to road construction, rut

higher mileage may be secured by
turning the tires about occasionally
to secure even wear upon both sides.
/ said that tire and rim should be
suited to each other. If straight side
tires are to be used on clincher rims,
filler beads ought to be fitted in the
rim clincher to keep the side walls
OF the castings from being chafed and
gouged. To avoid as much as pos
sible the tendency of straight side
tubes to lift up from the rims at
the inner edges of cables and in this
way permit a rolling motion side
ways, it is advisable to have more
spread between the cables than is
needed for beads of the clincher va
riety.
The best way. therefore. to use
straight side tires on ciincher rims
is not to use them at all. The two
types don't mix.
Concluding this subject, the i'm
portance of using flaps should not be
overlooked. Whether clincher or
straight side tires are employed, both
rings should be in position. A few
folks really don't know these last two
things; more people know them and
don't do them.

application Of Tires
TIRE TALK NO. 3
BY GEORGE G. MCFARLAND
Local FireStone Dealer

The careful application of tires is
quite as necessary as the choice of
the correct type. Especially should
the best adoption of tire to rim be
made a subject of concern.
Before applying a tire all rust and
other foreign matter should be care
fully removed from the rim. If rust
has formed on the rim it will cause
trouble at some later time, apart
from the corroding influence of the
rust. If tires have been driven de-
aated at any time mud will probably
have accumulated on the rims. and
unless this is removed the tires can
not seat or fit properly. The danger
o. pinching inner tubes can best be
reduced to a minimum by dusting
soapstone or powdered mica on the
rims, so that the tire beads will slip
into the correct position easily.
Inflated the inner tubes just enough
to round them out before placing
them inside the casing. Do not use
tubes of the wrong size, and be sure
that the valves are equipped with
spreaders adapted to the particular
type of casing used, clincher, quick
detachable clincher or straight side.
Valves in FirsSfone tubes are equip
ped with a universal spreader. and
therefore are suitable for use in all
three types.
Dust the inside of the case and the
inner tube with powered mica or
tale. This will reduce friction and
prevent adhesion of the tube to the
case after they have been heated in
service.
When the tires have been removed
for some reason, it is a good idea,
wnen reapplying, to reverse them,

things, the army moves as a unit.
War trophies were the style iE
souvenirs for awhile, but now shoul-
der straps cut from the uniforms of
dead Germans are passe, and Boche
helmets are no longer the range.
Lace followed them as a fashion,
and now it's gloves. The dough-
boys all over France and Germany
are sending back gloves by the thou
sands of pairs.
This newest style in souvenirs un-
doubtedly started up here in Gren-

200 glove factories, some of which
turn out the most expensive and
best-known gloves to be had in the
United States, have always before
been closed to all visitors. except
those with special invitations. Then
Grenoble was made a leave area for
the A. E. F., and the Y. M. c. A
asked and received permission for
the American soldiers to visit the
factories one day a week.
The result is that the doughboys
here on leave know more about
gloves than do the women who will
wear the ones they are sending
back home. Any of them can tell
you that gauntlets are the very lat
est thing, that three buttons are
smarter than two this season, and
that the newest white gloves of all
are dyed on the inside to match the
gown. They have learned so much
about kid that they can almost tell
when they see one browsing on the
mountainside whether he would
make two pairs of gloves, or three
and of what quality. The American
soldiers know all about gloves, in
fact, except the size they need for
their women folk.

BRITISH ACE
DIED UNKNOWN
His Record Was Not Checked

BIZ Associated Press.

London, June THE late Major

Ilnglands premier flyer 1t was the
policy of the Ministry during the war
not to proclaim individual exploits
and it has not been changed since
fighting ceased.
The record of Mannock's eighteen
months service is most unusual. He
started by outwitting examining ply
sicians in concealing the fact that
he was blind in one eye. At 20
years of age he was older than most
of the pilots in training but he
seemed to lack nothing required of
a successful air fighter and soon
qualified and went to France.
Immediately he adopted tactics
peculiar to himself and it finally was
deviation from those tactics that
brought him down. He always few

into a high fight but, in bringing
down his seventy-third German, he
chased his falling foe too near the
ground and a bullet from an anti
aircraft gun ended his career.
officers of the Royal Air Force
have acclaimed him the greatest air
tactician in the service. He had
none of the eccentricities prevalent
among successful French aviators
but he was scientific, persistent and
dogged. One of his brother officers
recently said that he had seen Man
mock stalk a Hun for an hour or
more, attempting to gradually draw
him higher and then. when the
slightest opportunity for advantage
presented itself, he was on the foe
like a cat.
Although Mannock was presented
with the Distinguished Service Order
and the Military Cross it was not
until the thousands of records of
pilots were checked in the Air Min
istry here that it was known that he
had more Germans to his credit
than any other British aviator. This
fact was allowed to become known
at the ministry but not officially.
