DRAG DISABLED CARS
WITH RIGID TOW-BAR
Piece of Rope or Tire Cham Are
Not Suitable.
In Case of Sudden Stop ToWed Ma
chine Runs Into Rear End of
Pilot and Both Vehicles Are
Unnecessarily Injured.

Invariably when an automobile has
broken down in the streets or on the
road, the owner of II small garage will
send the first available car, equipped
with piece Of rope or tire chain that
he may have on hand, to the scene
of the breakdown to tow in the dere-
iict. The driver of the toWing-car has
frequently an exciting time. especially
when it is necessary for him to drag
the brOken-down car through city
streets with much traffic. When he is
compelled to make a sudden stop the
toWed ear will often run into the rear
end of the pilot and both cars are
damaged.
All this can be avoided If the owner
of the garage is provided with
rigid tow-bar for dragging the disabled
vehicle through the streets. A rigid
bar is by far the best means, as it
keeps the two cars at a fixed distance
from each other. Regardless of the
conditions of the brakes of the dis
abled car, it will come to a stop when
the towing-car stops.
In the accompanying illustration a
tOW-bar is shown which can be made
from a siX-fOOt section of One-inch
Wrought-iron pipe, two short pieces of
chain, two bolts, and two tre-chain
snaps. The pipe is tlattened at each

JUST ONE OF TWO THINGS
"BIl'' Would Make Reputation. Or
There Would Be a Bad Time
for Employer.

Bill Blythe was really a gardener.
BAT he was a generally all round
usefCl man, who had never been
known TO say mo" when he had been
asked if he could do thing.
One day the chauffeur who usually
drove the motOrcar in which Bllls EN-
ployer journeyed, was taken i'll.
Bills employer had very important
business engagements for that day,
and 1t was essential that he should be
driven in the car unless he was to
miss some of them.
SO Bill was sent for and asked If he
would undertake to drive the car.
Bill had never driven a car before,
but he had helped the chauffeur to
wash the machine.
That was good enough for Bin. He
said:
Yes"
Remembering the little theory talks
he had had with the chauffeur, Bill
managed 10 get the car round to the
front door, and his employer got in.
With some maneuyering the car was
driven out onto the main road, and
then, gritting his teeth, Bill threw the
clutch into top gear, and muttered:
Nov to make reputation or kin

Home.Havinq Hearts Are Best.

A bride with a house is a bride
worth having in Berlin, the London
Mail declares, and matrimony has
doomed for house owneresses. Not
even during the war years were there
as many marriages as last year. Dur
ing 1917 Berlin registers showed 37,79S
marriages. while 53,691 took place in
1926.
One of the chief attractions of mar
riage is the certainty of getting a
house for the authorities give the
bride and bridegroom preference over
ordinary people, and a bachelor anX-
ious to settle down, finds that even in
expensive Berlin married life with a
home of your own is cheaper than ho-
tel and restaurant life.
