The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-11-27

Do not let anyone think for a mo-
ment that you are dsn.ayed over that
rcd head and those freckles. Keep your
hair clean and shining by frequent
shampoos and brushing. Always be
impeccably clean and neat in your
dress And don't worry about those
freckles, as they will disappear in time.
Do not become unhappy because the
girls will not go with you. If you will
keep cheerful, full of fun, full OF. kind
ness to everyone, people will just nat
urally be attracted to you and you will
find friends everywhere. Your writing
Is very good.

Moto-Meter Is Coming
Into Widest IJse

The purchase of an eight-story plant
at 10 Wilbur Avenue, Long Island City.
by the Moto-Meter Company, Inc, man
ufacturer of Boyce Moto- Meter, marks
another chapter in the growth and de-
velopment of this business. Several
years ago the moto-meter was standard
equipment on only five or six makes Of
automobiles. To-day 151 automotive
manufacturers equip their machines
with this device. and more than two
million of them are now in use in the
United States.
The moto-meter was invented by
Harrison II. Boyce, vice-president and
general manager of the Motto Meter
Company, Inc, and is an instrument to
indicate the temperature Of tiie motor
and to call the attention of the driver
to any sudden. changes. Not only does
it act as a safeguard against damaging
the automobile engine because Of over
heating, but it is SO designed and made
that it adds to the lines of the car.
No man can tell when his engine is
overheating. 1t is only after it has
overheated than you can discover any
thing is wrong. The moto-meter indi-
Gates approaching engine trouble fif-
teen or twenty minutes before you can
locate it. By so doing it helps elimi-
nate premature wear, burned bearings,
scored cylinders and other motor ills
and expenses, big or little. An auto
mobile engine is designed to operate
most efficiently and economically at q
temperature always approaching the
boiling point, but never reaching it..

Milwaukee Factory Needed to
Take Care of ur-Cylinder
Production

The introduction of the Nash Four
at the Automobile Show this year,
which follows the announcement some
months ago Of the building Of new
plant in Milwaukee by the Nash Mo-
tors Company, is testimony of the
growth Of the organization headed by
C. W. Nash. 1t is little more than
three years ago that Mr.. Nash took
over the plant at Kenosha and organ
lied the Nash Motors Company.
In that comparatively short period
the company has outgrown the facili-
ties of the Kenosha factory and for
the manufacture Of the new four
cylinder car has been compelled to
build another large plant in Mil
waukee. The Nash growth is all the
more remarkable when it is remem-
bered that during practically two of
these years the country was at war
and business conditions were abnor-
NAL. The Kenosha factory Of the
Nash Motors Company, one Of the
largest and best equipped in the au-
tomotive industry, in the second year

his associates did q volume Of up-
