DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About a month ago l became ac-
quainted with a young man eight

After our first meeting l would see
him about once or twice week.

me very strongly. This chiefly be-
cause he is very good looking. and,

You, like so many girls, are max
ing the mistake Of living your life
too completely around this young
man, rushing him to death when
/, you are with him and moping over
him when you are alone. This
attitude has an indirect but deadly
effect upon your friendship. The
man feels it and the whole thing
begins to pail on him. Learn this
early in life. We all must stand
alone. In the great crises Of life
we are almost invariably destined
to face the music alone. We come
into the world alone and we go out
of it equally unaccompanied. Let
no one person or no one thing be-
come essential to your happiness.
Unhappiness is the result IL you
do. Determine to take the attitude
Of enjoying this mans friendship
when you have it or as long as you
have 1t and of being quite equal
to the occasion II you are deprived
Of il.

SEDAN POPULAR|zED
BY OVERLAND MAKERS

Edward Sehipper, afmember of the
Society of Automobile Engineers. ~
a recent article in Motor World. said;
'sProhhbly the most noticeable de-
velopment in the automobile industry
will be the almost entire replacement
OF the touring car by the Sedan and
-other types of enclosed bodies in the
higher-priced cars and vastly greater
percentage of enclosed cars as COM
1 pared with the open in the lower
priced field" N
Apparently this is the day Of the
Sedan. Half OF the cars on display
at this years automobile shows Were
of the Sedan type. The public has
aIwayss recognized the advantages OF
the Sedan for winter use. Now there
has come appreciation of the fact that
the Sedan is cooler than other types
for summer use.
In recognition of this trend in the
lautomobile buying market. The VIII
lys- Overland Company set aside
May 3 to May Is for nationwide
public study and examination of the
advantages of the Sedan for summer
as well as for winter use. The eNhibi-
ton is being held in this city at the
store of The Overland Sales CO.. and
the same exhibition is under way in
some 1000 other cities. towns and
hamlets of the United States.
Discussing the Overland Summer
Sedan Weeks, r. ]. SAVIOR manager
says:
THE fact is. that 90 per cont of
those. owning touring cars rarely put
their tops down. Few car buyers can
afford more than one car. The eco
nomicaI choice therefore, Is the Over
land Sedan, which provides remark
ably smooth riding comfort because OF
its Triplex Springs.
s"Offering protection from dust,
rain, sun. cold and snow. the Over
land Sedan's srs ~ growth In popular
ity has been only Logical. In this
Sedan, for eya~ll'c. 1t is but
moments work to lower or open the
wide. .clear-vision windows giving the
car all of the advantages OF the tour
ing medel. in addition 10 retaining
those comforts obtainab1e oniyin the
sedan type, And the Overland Sedan
weighs only eco pounds more than
the touring car
''In case of sudden rain storms, pc
cuIiar to summer. there IS no hurried,
anxious work of putting up side cur
tains. You merely raise the windows
and stiil have no shut-in feeling Az
certain times of the year. especially
after a hot day, the nights turn sud
denly cool. In the Sedan. then you
ride In shelter and comforts
For SUMMER shopping in the city,
he Sedan should make a distinct APP
neal to women. The doors of the
Sedan are equipped with locks Par
cells left in the care are safe; the car
q locked against theft and there need
De no fear for children left sitting in

EFFICIENCY
IN AUTO WORLD GREAT

Next to the tremendous physical
and financial growth of the automo-
bile industry in America, perhaps the
most remarkable feature of its
triumphant development is the eff
cheney of production.
In this connection some very inter
esting comparisons may be seen by
the actual figures of production.
Assuming that the French and Brit
ish motor industries are representa-
tive ones Of the European trade. it is
interesting to note that the motor car
manufacturers of these two countries
have consistently produced just about
one car per man per year.
In 1913, 10000 British worltmen
turned out 10000 cars and during the
same year $4,000 French workmen-
were producing $4,000 cars.
On the other hand let us examine
the development in the American in
dustrp in this particular. Fortunately
we have official figures. which show.
that in 1899. 224O American workmen.
produced slightly fewer than 1000
cars. In 1904 the number Of work.
men had reached 1900 and they built
5000 cars, which is at the rate of
car and a half per man. In 1909 the
Industry was really getting started
and the 75.bO0 workmen employed
turned out 10000 cars, slight in
crease In individual efficiency But
in 1918 the manufacturers OF motor
cars had really begun to get into big
production and they produced 450. 900
cars, employing In the task 10000 !

drawn into the war. our automobile
industry turned out total OF nearly

men required for tho task being ESQ.,

! is claimed, than was realized. There
have been excavations and other work
done that has prevented Intimidation
in numerous instances which hereto
fore wrought considerable damage
not only to roads but to growing
crops. The roadbeds have been known
| to change in some localities owing to
the result of rushing waters, held
up in some places by projections, ma
ny of which have been removed, and
the lack of bridges has hampered .all
travel in many localities. These dam
gerous places are being eliminated,
either directly or indirectly by the ex-
tensive road work which is being
done, and there will be more of it
within short time
State Highway Engineer Joe S.
Boggs is responsible for much that
has been effected in this as well as
other lines and he will have addition
al assistance another year, since he
has been notified by the. State Board
of Charities and Corrections that at
last 500 convicts will be placed on
the job.
The requisition was put in this fall
because Mr.. Boggs wished to pur-
chase the necessary equipment for
that number of men and he wished to
ascertain whether they would be
available before investing the money.
It was expect ed that the board
would refuse and invite law suit
in order to test its right to take the
men off contract work in the prisons
The contractors are now operating
with about three-fourths of the num-
Der Of men contracted for. It was
dee;oed, however, that under the road
law the contracts are subject to the
needs of the highway department.
ut is the purpose to employ con-
viets on the road the year around
where there is heavy grading and
labor is the big factor. This condi-
ton exists throughout Eastern Ken
tucFy. This winter seventy-five men
will be kept in Harlan, forty in Pike
and twenty-five each in Rockcastle,
Cumberland and Metcalfe counties
u hen the latter work is finished that
camp will be transferred to Barren
county.
This will be the first thorough ex-
pertinent in Kentucky under modern
conditions. Taking the, men out fol-
seven months and returning them to
inside contract work for five each
year has expensive and somewhat de-
moralizing effects both for the prison
organization and the contractors.

While the present year has been
