Wedding Rings for Men

WEST PHILADELPHIA GIRL,

Go to your mother, dear, and tell
her Just what you have written. Let
her know that you have been meeting
this young man on the corner because
you do love him. L am sure she will
understand. If there is anything really
wrong with his family. of course, Il
would not be wise to marry him, but
if your parents have just a personal
dislike for them. you can surely make
them overlook it. OF course, it is not
right for you to meet any man on street
corners, you know, no matter how much
YOU love him.

The Boys Won't Go Out

ne BOYS WON'T 40 Out
Dear Cynthia-Wc are two girls of
the same age, considered jolly and rather
liked by the opposite sex, but, Cynthia,
there is question we would both like
to ask and that is: dow is it that the
boys nowadays would rather sit in a
parlor all evening than take girl out
to show or 60 skating or Shedding !?
They like the kind of girls that invite
them to their homes and then sit in
the parlor to about II o'clock with
them. 1t can't be that they are afraid
Of spelling their suits or afraid that
they will have to spend their money, be-
cause the boys l have met are not that
kind. and / can't see why they always
like to stay in the house. l wish some
of your other readers would kindly en- :
tighten us, and we would be very thank :
full to them.

Perhaps they would rather talk to
you than 60 out auywhere. Have you

SEEING WHAT THE BATTERY DOES |S
 VERY INTERESTING

"A good many things of utmost inn portance are constantly going on ln- side the box of every automobile start ing and lighting battery says F. L. Gielow, local Willard battery expert, yet it is very seldom that any of us has an opportunity of watching these changes as they take place.
 The whole process is shown in an way in demonstration given at the technical school conducted by the Willard Storage Battery company. At this school, a number of cells are assembled in glass jars in place of the regular rubber jars and are charged and discharged under conditions which closely approximate the conditions of actual service.
 ITO show what happens to these cells when impure water is used, several foreign substances are dropped into the various batteries. To one nitric acid is added; into another little sal ammoniac is dropped; little hydro cloric acid is put in the third. All the results are carefully noted by students. In this way, the Willard service station experts who attend the school are enabled to tell at glance not only when impure water is used in a battery, but exactly what sort of impurity is interfering with the prop CT work of the cell.'

Buying on Appearance Alone

buy more style in clothes without in quiring into the quality of the cloth. The results are the same in automo- biles clothes. furniture or other com modities. The style may be there but the quality so poor that you don't have the benefit of that style for a very long period, and usually you have so much trouble because of the quality that you are ashamed of the article.
 There is no doubt that car manufac : turers today are able to sell all the automobiles they are physically cap- able of producing because the demand is so much higher than the supply, but that is no reason why you should not use better judgment in the selec- tion of your new car and get the most quality with the best appearance.
 If you are one of the great many who wishes to have extreme individuality in your car. then it probably will be cheaper to buy a good chassis and have a special body made to your order and to your individual liking. Thousands of buyers, in order to get a car diff ferent from so many others, buy a make not quite so well known because the body lines are so distinctive. The repair bill may be quite distinctive also.
 The majority of the cars on the
Arizona republican., 1920-03-07

American market are what are usually called assembled cars; that is, the main units of the chasSis-engine, clutch, transmission and axles-are bought of part makers, concerns that make nothing else but that, one unit. It Is quite possible to get a high quality of car in the assembled chassis, but it is equally true that many assembled chasses are simply thrown together with the parts bought merely to meet a certain price. The bodies on these cars are usually of a most attarctlve design, so that the eye appeal will be satisfied. In other words, the manu- facturer knows that the initial appeal must be satisfactory, otherwise no further investigation will be made
 The wise buyer today will investi- gate the value of the different parts used in the construction of the chassis He has seen advertised such names as Timken for axles and bearings, Continental for engines, Hyatt for bearings. Willard and Exide for storage batteries and so on. The own CT should make a study of the relative value of the important units that en- ter into the construction of the car and avoid a chassis with even the cheap unit. Some makers, in order to meet a price, will use a fairly good engine, a good transmission but cheap rear axle. Knowing that so many buyers select on appearance, the maker IS safe in putting almost any sort of axle under the car. If however. the buyer becomes wise enough to know good parts from poor ones he will avoid the chassis with the cheaper parts, even though the body is hand some affair. When you buy suit of clothes you expect the vest to be of the came quality as the coat or trousers so that all the units will wear about the same length of time. The same thing holds true in a caf-all the units ought to have the same relative high quality one of them won't fall to pieces quickly.
 Another thing a prospective pur- chaser should bear in mind, and that IS that a body may be good looking ana still cheap. Mounted on cheap frame the result is the doors soon rattle and the whole body gets out of shape be- cause of the warping of the frame.
 It is necessary for the automobile buyer to study fundamentals. Merely to go into the market and buy a car with the money you have is to take a chance with a considerable amount of money. Bear in mind you are buying transportation, not merely a vehicle, just as you buy tone not appearance in violin or piano. Pretty nearly all violins look alike, yet the difference in actual values may be thousands of dollars.
Arizona republican., 1920-03-07

The recent automobile shows in New York and Chicago and other big centers offered a good opportunity for study of the appeal that different cars nave for the prospective purchaser
 The average buyer is buying on ap
 pearance as the funda mental and de-
 ciding factor, which, in the end, means that he is getting more good looks than he is service per dollar expended. This IS not to say that the good looking cars are not good ones, but that the
 buyer is overlooking the important Tact that a mediocre chassis can be fitted with a smart looking body and the car sold at a price higher than that of more substantial chassis with a fair type of body. If you will but look over the more prosperous manu
 facturers' cars I think you will agree that there is nothing freakish or start ling in the looks of the cars. They are, one might say, ordinary or they have become so because of the great number of them on the streets. As examples of these mention the Dodge, Ford. Maxwell, Chevrolet, Dort, Rec, Buick. These cars all have good good .eputations for giving high value per dollar spent. The man who would buy good looks alone in a ear would also

LAND SAITS-AHOYI

If you call your machine q 'boat, as many do, why not be consistent and run it like a boat?
 John H. Lapp of Lorain, O., who cap- tains a lake steamer and pilots a land boat. makes this suggestion.
 Why don't automobile drivers adopt some system of signals to let each other know what the fellow ahead intends to do? You would save a lot of accidents if you knew by a set sig nal whether the man ahead of you wanted to tack from starboard to port stop, back up. When a boat wants to go ahead it gives two blasts of the whistle. When it wants to back up or stop, it gives three blasts"
