LOVER MUST HAVE
AUTO TO WIN GIRL
Modern Miss Has No Use for
Wooing in "Lane"-Has

There is an old saying, "In the
spring time a young mans fancy
lightly turns TO thoughts OF love-"
But not any more; that 10. not en-
tirely to love Now his thoughts are
divided between love and the motor
car. To be a 100 per cent lover now
sdays a motor car IL an absolute
necessity.
"AlI this talk about love and motor
cars going hand In hand isn't quite
so foolish as II appears at hrst
glance" says George G. Rice, OF the
George c. Rice Auto Company, local
Columbia distributors.
"In the days before the automobile
every community boasted its lovers
lane where the love-stricken walked
up and down by the hour whispering
sweet nothings. Then, a girl was
happy TO walk with the man TO whom
she was betrothed.
But not so with the modern girl.
Now she wants TO know II the pros
pectiye wooer owns a car. and what
kind. II he does, he has a much bet
ter chance of winning the girl than
the man who is carless.
"The automobile has created a new
kind of lover. The car ar-drIving suitor
IL just as apt to propose while flying
along at six miles an hour or shoot
ing around a corner on two wheels.
The very daring OF such stunts APP
peals TO the American girl.

car Is a part OF our life. So love and
the car go hand -in-hand In this swift
day of ours"

All existing professional and anna.

mile, two. miles and fve miles were
completely annihilated at Daytona

Herbert Mcbride shot their Indians

Overlooking TRUCK
DANGEROUS POLICY

Don't load your truck beyond its
normal rated capacity. II was de
signed and built to carry that load.
Certainly 1t may carry more. but this
practice invites inevitable loss. To
state that your trucks are overload
ed is merely another way OF saying
that you are materially shortening
their useful life as well as decress-
ing their range of activity.
An overload increases the stresses
In the weight carrying members. and
may cause excessive breakage OF
these parts.
In any good truck. normal weight,
hence normal stress, produces normal
wear of moving parts. An excess will
necessarily result in abnormal or ex-
cessivc wear.
A truck frame and other parts may
be compared TO bridge. When a
bridge is rated at so many tons. il
means that il can carry that load
with a certain margin of safety. 1t
will carry more, but the margin of
safety which was provided to take
care OF it's depreciation in normal
service will not be as large. The
same is true of the truck.

OIL LEAKAGE CURE.

A good way to prevent oil leaking
out of the crankcase through the bolt
holes Is to back off the studs a quar-

several turns OF cotton twine around

studs down onto their seats, the leak
age will be overcome. The string
acts as a packing material and is

AS to Legality of Tax Inheritance
EXEMPTION.

ATLANTA, Aug. 20.--On the
ground that it would be an eek post

the constitution, Governor Dorsey We
toed the bill of Representative Moore
of Butts to exempt GRADY Hospital
and Scottish Rite Hospital for Grip
pied Children from payment of in
hertance taxes on requests from the
Steiner estate.
The original inheritance tax law ex-
empts from payment of the tax all

phrase, This exemption shall apply

of Governor Dorsey that the bill

quests is unconstitutional.

when l heard that Governor Dorsey
had vetoed the amendment, which if

The question was brought up by
members of the House Committee
