LIMIT OF cHAUFFEUR'S
AUTHORITY DISCUSSED
Right to Bind Car Owner for Cost
OF Service and Repairs Passed
Upon in Several Cases.

The question of the chaufreur's au-
thority to bind the owner of a car
Tor service and repairs is one that
should be of particular interest to
garage keepers. repairmen and own
ers. says Leslie Childs, legal editor of
american Motorist. writing in that
publication. Says Mr.. Childs:
The general rule is that an owner
is not liable for service of this kind
unless he has ordered it or caused
II TO be ordered. This rule, how
ever. has some exceptions, as where
a servant who. in the scope of his
employment. gives the order. in which
event the owner will be bound; this
upon the doctrine that what one can
DO himself he can also do by an
agent. But even in cases of this
KIND. some nice questions of fact may
arise as to the extent of the 'au-
thorlty relegated.. unless it is appar-
ent or can be plainly established
1t often happens that an accident
Will occur while the car is in the
possession of the chauffeur. requir-
ing the attention of a repairman if
the chauffeur is to complete the jour-
the chauffeur may not have the re-
quired amount of money at hand
and he may not be in a position to
communicate with his employer rela-
tive to charging the account.
The repaiman or garage keeper
may be acquainted with the financial
responsibility of the owner. but may
hesitate to execute an order given by
the chauffeur. through fear that the
order may not be approved by the
owner. In a situation of this kind
a slight knowledge of the law gov
erning the liability for repairs of the
kind may prove Of considerable value
to the parties concerned.
Cases of this kind, seem to be
divided into two classes-first. where
the breakdown or damage requires
repairs of a permanent and lasting
character. such as the adding of new
parts, or practically rebuilding; sec
ond, where only temporary repairs
are required that will enable the
chauffeur to continue on the imme-
date business in hand.
Whether the repairs fall within
the first or the second class will, it
seems. govern the liability of the
owner for the payment of the charges.
The points have been passed upon by
the courts in several instances, 30
may be considered as fairly well
settled"

HEATING OPEN CARS.
Now an Accepted Fact in the Au-
tomotive Industry.

There il no reason. automobile
manufacturers say. why the open
motor car cannot be made comfort
able tho year round. The idea Of
heating passenger cars was first an
piled to the inclosed car with success.
but manufacturers now agree that the
oren car also. II we'll curtained. can
be heated satisfactorily. That the
matter has passed the experimental
stage and is now an accepted fact in
the automotive industry is evidenced
by the large number Of heated open
passenger cars which are being
shipped to the annual motor show al
New York.
Ono of the most notable features in
connection with the heating of pas
senger cars is the fact that there ia
practically no cost beyond the initial
expense OF the heating device itself.
Tho heat is there-why not use II p;
as the slogan as one manufacturer Of
heaters phrases 1t.

The Armenian Fate

A touching story Of a 12-year-old girl,
Herepsime TavoukdJian, who was re
Gently released from a harem, where for
four years she was subjected to torture,
is circulated through Indiana near east
relief headquarters, 403 City Trust
building.
At Aleppo refuge barracks established
by near east relief little Herepslme Ia
voukdjian just a short time ago played
with the first doll she had had in her
arms in four long years. Most girls
says the statement from headquarters
begin to sniff at sawdust babies at IL or
before. But this little girl cuddled the
wax infant against her face which bore
the infamous Turkish tattoo and showed
that the little Armenian maid had been
an inmate of a harem.
She was S years old, the best age for
doll playing, when he was driven from
her home with her parents, her grand
mother, four sisters and a brother. She
saw her grandmother and her father
die Of starvation at Meskina on the
march. Then she was seized by Arabs,
put on a barge and carried across the
river as a captive. In the harem she
was enslaved and tortured. She was
beaten so much that the wounds on her
body have become tubercular. Almost
as soon as she was taken to the harem
she was bound with thongs and tat
tooed. At last, after years and months
of suffering, she was saved by some
fellow Armenians and brought to the
refuge barracks in Aleppo. where her
tubercular sores are being treated. Later
she will be placed in an orphanage OF
the near east relief.
Meanwhile the little girl plays with
her doll.
