FEW OWE FAILURE TO FATE
Man Who Has "Lost Out" Generally
Unjust in Blaming the Fact on
Circumstances.

''He who is bitter is beaten. This Is
distilled from a iffe," said wise OBJ
server of his kind, a writer in Philadel-
phia Ledger remarks.
Often one meets the man who has
become soured by his own life through
on the chances and circumstances of
destiny.
He will not admit that the hand of
a bad habit dragged him down or
kept him from rising; that he made a
nisstep or took the wrong turn of
the road.
He prefers to charge impersonal fate
with his personal failure.
But he had the same right to strug-
gle and win that we all have. The
man whom he regards with envy had
to prove that the stuff was in him,
against odds.
The old proverb says that fortune
favors the brave-but that laying
really means that fortune plays no fa-
vorites and confers her gifts only upon
those who fight and fight hard.
Success is not hereditary. We must
qualify on our own merit. Any fool
can inherit money and be parted from
It quickly. The respect of the com
munity, which is life's chief reward
goes to him who earns it on his own
account. In that continuing effort the
fragrant memory of a noble family ira
dition and pious and honest par
cntage is valuable asset and great
inspiration.

SsstIe Carrius-HooIey,

On the west coast of Ireland stands
castle bearing the euphonious name
Of Carrig-a Hooley. Several centuries
ago this was the favorite castle of
Grace O'Malley, an Irish amazon, who
took unto herself the title of queen,
and ruled over several counties In a
fashion not at all in accordance with
sixteenth century ideals of femininity.
Home rule in Ireland was demanded
even in those days. When Queen Eliza
beth offered to make the Irish maid a
countess history reports that she an,
swered proudly, 81 consider myself as
great queen as your majesty"
On her voyage from the English
court to her mountain domain, Queen
Grace stopped at Howth castle, and
being but coldly received by the lord,
she proceeded to teach him hospitality
by abducting his son and heir, return
ing the child only ON the promise that
the gates of Howth castle were to
swing open always at the dining hour.

Owners Ask Service,
Says Lexington Agent

I Automobile owners as well as auto
mobile manufacturers are putting into
practice, lessons learned during the
war, according to Harry w. Cheno-
weth, local Lexington distributor.
While builders of cars were taking
advantage Of developments in engi-
nering brought forth under the stress
of the times, motorists were learning
to value performance above all else
in a car" declares Chenoweth
This is evident from the fact that
they demand consistent proof Of the
cars utility before buying. They in
vestigate performance first and look
at lines afterward. The day of buy
ing car for appearance sake alone is
past. In casting about for new car
they are looking for service above all
else.
1T has been a great source of sat
isfaction to me to be able to show
prospective buyers the new Lexington
Minute. Nan Six models, that embody
performance, economy and grace Of
line.
THE manner in which these models
the Touring Car and Tourabout-
have been received indicates that the
Lexington engineers clearly anticipat-
cd the public's desires. Both include
the latest Lexington engineering inn
provements: The Moore Multiple Elk
hause System, the oilless bushings,
the one-hnger emergency brake, the
non.metallic universal joints and 9th

kUPPIN ADVISES ON
PROPER TIRE SIZES

when truck pneumatic tires first
made their appearance on the market
truck owners believed it was neces-
sary to have big tires Of the same
size On all four wheels" says Joe
kuppin, of the Richmond Tire Service.
Tests, however" continued Kuppin,
have demonstrated that the chief
part of the trucks load falls on the
rear wheels and for that reason small
er tires may be used on the front
wheels.
Tire experts suggest the following
as the best sizes for front wheels OF
average build: 32x31z for trucks OF
one ton and under; 34x41a for trucks
of one and one-half and two tons, and
36x6 for trucks from two and a half
to Eve TONS. On rear wheels the
equipment should be: Three-quarter
ton, 33x4 one ton, 34x41a; one and
one-half tons to five tons. 3Sx7.
Pneumaties Easier TO Change
1T does no harm of course to have
tires on the front wheels as large as
those on the rear, but buying the larg-
er tires means an unnecessary invest
ment
One feature Of the use of truck
pneumatic tires which commends them
to truck drivers is the ease with
which tires may be changed. A skill
full priver can take OF q damaged
tire and put on good one as quick
ly as in changing passenger car tires.
IF the truck owner operates a fleet
of trucks the company suggests that
it is not necessary to carry a spare
tire on each truck. The best prac-
tice, it is urged. is to operate the
trucks without spares, the spares be-
ing left inflated on extra rims in the
garage, SO that in case of emergency
tires can be sent to the particular
truck which has tire trouble"

three stakes put into it. and made In
to regular tent.
There is also a space provided in
the hotel" for q motorcycle, for use
Of the driver on special errands, TAX
ing him of the main line Of travel
The truck, in addition to being equip
ped with pneumatic tires, has shock
absorbers and snubbers. and Barley
states that without pneumatic tire
equipment, such a trip would not be
possible. The standard wheel base of
the truck has been heightened to pro-
vide for the equipment.
Trips like the above are sure to
come into vogue with people fond Of
outdoor life And 1t is expected that
people making fishing trips to far
away points, camping trips and the
like will, providing they have the
means, acquire equipment like that
built by Barley.
Barley said, 1--WE will undoubtedly,
save the price of the truck several
times over in the trip to California
and back, through the saving of hotel
bills and dozen and one other items
which will be eliminated by this means
though we did not have the saving
in mind when we started to plan the
trip. but more the comfort and thor
ough enjoyment of outdoor life and
freedom of movement which our hotel
on wheels gives us. The staunch-
ness and durability Of our regular
standard chassis makes 1t possible to
take the tremendous load which we
are imposing on it and successfully
complete the trip. We will touch the
spots that are not ordinarily touched
by the tourist because of inaccessi-
bility, and we will go across the Great
Desert of the west with the truck"
To the best knowledge of all con-
cerned, this is the first time that such
an achievement has been attempted.
Barley and his guests will start, &C
cording to present plans, early this
spring and all are highly enthusiastic
over the idea. The ''hotel' is prac-
tically completed at the present time.
