Prospective Automobile Buyer
Should Use Careful udgn,ent
As in Other equal Investments

The vehicle that will best serve his
needs. The bride and bridegroom
who live next door to a man with
seven children had better not buy
Il seven scatter. Common sense will
rule here. The prospect should GER
'ainIy be careful to try the seats,
all Of them. to see that they are
perfectly comfortable. A ,ong-leg-
Eed man in d car with skinny leg
room is in fer much discomfort. If
the buyer is to do the driving he
should be sure that the pedals and
other controls are placed within
reasonable regard for his physical
limitations.
Having examined the external
qualifications OF the car. the buyer
should next proceed with an inves-
tigatiun IF its mechanical efficiency
Arc right here We should empha-
size the destrab bi;ity of the Intend
ing buyer securing the help OF some
qualified expert on whose intcerity
he can rely, to help him weigh the
mechanical merits of the vehicle
under consideration. OF course, II
the prospect is qualified TO decide
FOR himself through I Gst experience
he will nee1 Eo outside assistance
Local Conditions Govern.
First as to the performance de-
sired in the average mans motor
car. To begin with. local conditions
will somewhat govern this factor.
II the car is to be used in a hilly
country it must have plenty of su-
perfuous power. And no matter
where it is to be used it should
have a modest turn of speed, good
scceleration and fiexibility This
latter qualification means that it
must be able to throttle down to a
slow speed while in high gear and
must also be able to travel fast. 4
range of speed on high gear of from
four miles an hour to sixty would
be good fiexibility. These three fac
tors and the hill climbing ability of
the car should be brought out in the
road demonstration, and a motorist
of experience should be in the car
with the intending buyer, unless he
is veteran, to make sure the We
hicle meets all these conditions
While on the road with a saIesma n
il is a good plan to ask him to run
into coal or lumber yard and have
the car weighed on the big scales.
Accessibility Important.
And now We come to the vitality
important matters that lurk under
the hood. 1t should be ascertained
The Washington herald., 1920-08-29

When the average American busi-
ness man makes an investment in
voIving anywhere from $1,000 to
$4,000 he carefully investigates the
matter from all sides and calls in
expert advice on which he can de-
pend if any phase Of the subject
seems to be a little beyond his per-
sonal experience.
When that same supposedly hard
headed business man purposes to in
vest a similar amount of money in
a motor car. he generally walks
down automobile row and buys the
vehicle that catches his fancy,
matches his wife's new furs or
meets some equally unessential con-
dition. Only the fact that all mod
ern American cars are reasonably
good prevents the average buyer
from being stung every time he
pIumps downs his money. We shall
try to indicate some OF the points
that should always be considered in
buying a car.
Buyer Fixes Price.
lne QlEoN4Ou VI pAANC SEACL oil y
settles itself automatically. The
buyer knows about what figure he
can afford to pay. His first step
should be to get 4 list of all cars
in the price class in which he is
interested. From these he can mar
row down his search and make a
reasona bly, definite list of eligibIes,
for closer scrutiny.
To be a satisfactory buy a UaI
must be manufactured by a we'll
established company. which will re-
main in business, IL the concern
making a car fails the vehicle be-
comes an orphan, for which IL is
dificult to obtain parts. Be sure
that the manufacturer is solidly es-
tabIished in business.
Next the dealer should be scrutin-
lied. Has he facilities for making
quick repairs? Is his service eff
cieat2 Is he able to Give his Gus
toners rcplaccments or broken
parts WITHOUT Urdue delay? All this
is going to be vitalIy important
during the later life of the new car,
and the dealers status is easily es-
rablished by a few inquiries made
among owners OF the mske Of car
lie sells.
Must Determine Size.

rhythmic throb of the motor gave
warning of the impending start.
With Jack Stoweu, The Herald
cameraman, and The Herald's auto

the start was made to leave the
city streets far behind before Old
Soils force could be felt.
Roads Invite Speed.
Clear of the District line on the
Rockville pike. Jack let her out"
and developed a welcome breeze on
the torrid day on which the start
was made. The car literally sailed
along the roadway, except, OF
course. in the towns where caution
is something to be practiced lest
the town fathers hail you for de-
pOsit of a few dollars for the up
keep of the township.
The early part of the trip has
been covered before in The Herald,

made. Frederick. where the turn
left is made to Harper's Ferry.
When the party reached the toll

essary to turn left at the big barn,
! turning right at all turns on this
! detour until S0.7 is reached, when
a turn is made left onto the pike
again. The detour is in good 'condl-

Charles Town Is Reached.
1t is then but a short ride into
! Charles Town, w. Va, SIG miles. As

party reached this town, it was de-

they entered the town, was followed

on the road to Berryville. Just after

why Give THANKS
Manifold Blessings Accorded to
This Nation.
Surely One Needs Only q Few Mo-
nents' Reflection to Realize the
Causes for Giadness,

II is written of Plato that, .looking
through the dim spectacles of nature.
he gave thanks to God for three
things: First, that he was created
man and not a beast. Second that
he was born a Grecian and not
barbarian. Third. that he was born
a possible philosopher"
If this represents the pagan ideal of
gratitude, 1t Is in marked contrast to
the Christian ideal. boastful spirit
has no place In true thanksgiving to
God. The Pharisee who went up to
the temple to pray and thanked God
that he was not as other men. was
roundly rebuked by Christ for his pre-.
sumption. The last place for one to
display his egotism should be before
the throne of God. "Whosoever will
be great among you, let him be your
minister" said Christ. 1t is a time
for true humility Of spirit.
Now that this nation has grown rich
beyond the dreams of the austere
pioneers, do Americans of today rec.
ognize the source of their manifold
blessings, and will they with true hu.
mility acknowledge their gratitude to
the giver Of all good gifts. Forgetting
not all his beneflts?"
America is today the richest and
most powerful nation Of the earth, and
1t is this very opulence that leads the
people, most literally blessed of all, to
neglect to remember the source OF
good. In days Of opulence and power
men are prone to put their trust in
themselves and to underestimate those
influences that have made them great.
Ingratitude has been called the most
popular sin in the world, because it is
the result of selfishness, or egotism
or ambition or whatever the case may
be. Nations. being an aggregation of
individuals, in their days of power
have a tendency to trust In themselves
and to disregard the laws Of Cod

A woman's fondest hope IL to stay

years. Some women pay large sums to

no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
