uERB Is the first letter from the
IL many on our desk:
Having followed up your Movie
Beauty Contest ever since It's start.
have finally decided / must write and
ask you a question.
And the big question is this-has a
married woman of twenty five any
chance in the movie contestf
i've honestly got to admit now that
regret I'm married. That Golden OPP
portunity for young ladies surely is n
lure for any one.
IF II be the case that I can't gain
any recognition, perhaps my little
daughter Of three can. That surely
would make me happy.
MY husband played with Lubins
when they were in this city and often
says it's not so easy / just tell him
housekeeping has Its ups and downs,
too. so simply can't and won't get
discouraged.
please make no mention Of my
name and address, for ! would not FOR
the world want the antiquities on our
street TO start a scandal"
WELL, the only thing we can say is
w tha, any woman of twenty FIVE,
who Is both beautiful and intelligent,
has a perfectly good chance In this con :
test. We know of half dozen married
women who have been placed on the
honor roll so far.
Naturally, FOR movie purposes, il Is
best TO enter under the name you will
use in your screen career. But the mere
fact that you are married will not
initiate against your success.
If you'll look the field over you Il find
that most of the big stars are married
But they don't boast about 1t.

SAYS SEPARATORS
 CAUSE IF JUNKED
 BATTERY PILE $

Sometime when you are close to a battery shop, just walk around to the rear and some where you will find a huge pile of scrapped plates and sep ators, that is, you will find them unless the junkman has made his weekly call.
 What does this mean?" says Mar shall A. Moody of the Titan Battery storage batteries. the non-separator is manufactured in California.
 Tt means" said MT. Moody, an- swering his own question, that bat teries of today have a pretty regular habit of getting out of condition, not probably as much the fault of the battery as the driver of the car. You will look through the columns of the automobile sections. and So-and- So, who sells a certain battery, tells mo- torists to watch their battery and give it a regular drink or have a doc tor watch it with care-or it will die while still an infant.
 "This means that you have to nurse along the battery with separators, or it will not be fit for service. Because of the absence of separators, the Gill battery gives the motoriSt freedom from worry of every kind. Water, oi course, should be put in once in a while, but only occasionally. The Gill battery is as near fool-proof as it is possible to build, and still stand uI under strenuous service for a satis- factory period of time.''

BUICK SPEEDS UP
 ON CLOSED CARS

With the first heavy rain of the winter season, automobile dealers are anticipating a brisk demand for closed cars. For many months there has been an acute shortage of Buick sedans and coupes, but during the past week there has been a change for the better in this respect.
 The Buick factory has speeded up production on the four cylinder and six-cy1inder sedans, one of the most popular kand up-to-date of the 1922 Buick cars. The result is that the motorists who have been waiting for the arrival of these closed Bucks are being made happy, as the visit of Jupited Pluvius has no terrors for them, as the sedan Is as cosy and comfortable in wet weather as it is at any other time of the year.
 The experts in charge of the Fisher Body works, in which plant the bodies for the Buick sedan and coupes are manufactured, have made study of Buick chassis, with the idea of con- structing a body which not only will be up to the minute so far as refine ment is concerned, but also so that the car will be easy riding ana es- ceptionally well balanced.
 The mechanical construction of the Buick is so well and fayorably known lsthat it requires no particular men, tion. However, the Fisher Body works have done such a remarkable piece of workmanship in designing and equipping the Buick sedan and coupe bodies it is the cause of much praiseworthy comment. Combined with Buick efficiency, these luxurious | and notable examples of skill on the
 part of the coach builders make the Buick closed models such big sellers l that it keeps the factory working to it's capacity to meet the demand.

USED CAR BUYER
 M J q CONSIDER SEVERAL THINGS

With the dollar buying more auto mobile value in used cars than ever before in the history of the industry and the market well supplied with rare and tempting bargains, the pros pective purchaser will undoubtedly welcome few words of advice on how to select a used car.
 There are just few facts for the motorist to remember if he is to take full advantage of the extraordinary buying opportunities the used car market now affords" says H. G. Wat son of Watson Brothers, Paige dis tributors. While it is generally known that now is the time to buy used cars because the values offered are the greatest ever known, thanks to pre-war conditions and price re- adjustments, yet disappointment will result unless the purchaser remem- bers three things.
 First, the car selected r'ust be one made by a reputable manufacturer whose product can be relied on. It must be good car in its class. Sec ond, the condition of the car must be known. The purchaser must be sure of what he is buying and whether it will operate. Third, and perhaps the most important of all. he must buy of a reputable dealer who has repu- tation to guard and protect, who will be in business tomorrow as well as today, and whose guarantee of satis- faction means something.
 ''The same common sense rules of economics apply to the purchase of a used car as to new car. In other words, one must consider first cost, operating cost and maintenance cost; and unless the purchaser knows his dealer, he is likely to fall down on all three"
