foreign waters is conspicuous. Those

gines are aware Of the impossibility OF

Gty Of providing gasoline for use until
the engine warns up. To provide a
convenient and reliable means of do
ing this, an additional carburetor, and a
small auxiliary container for gasoline
were fitted to delivery car, and have
given good results.
Briefly, the installation and opera
t1on Of the system are as follows: An
other carburetor. similar to the one on
the car, was obtained. The intake
manifold was removed, and was faced
OF at Its dividing point to take the
carburetor dange. At the center Of
the face thus made an inlet hole was
drilled to match the carburetor oriflce,
and at either side two bolt holes were
tapped to correspond with the holes In
the carburetor flange. At one end Of
the main fuel tank, fiat gasoline res
ervoir, with a capacity Of one gallon,
was placed. as the container for the
gasoline supply. 1t was connected to
the extra carburetor installed on the
side Of the intake manifold.
The main tank, fuel pipe, and carbu-

Two men attended a sale of pure

sold year later for a little more
than half of that amount. The 9th

lack of development made the second

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
WOME MS INTERESTS

THERE ~ perhaps no surer way OF
i discovering just how the interests
and the opportunities of woman have
broadened in the last very few years
than to study the women's magazines.
The business woman is carefully
considered today in these publications
Her training, her chances of success,
new fields where she may try for posi-
tions; these are exploited. There are
articles on subjects that would never
have been touched upon five or six
years ago, or even two or three years
ago.
Finance Is another department that
has shown tremendous development In
such magazines. Women are learning
to manage their own funds, and when
the women's colleges run successful
campaigns for great sums, as they do
now, and invest and dlsburse such
sums, the day when woman was not
supposed to understand the money
market Is indeed gone.
Naturally the coming Of the vote to
women has brought lot of political
material into these pages. The work
women can do in politics. her respOn-
sibilties, clear expositiOns Of what the
different political parties stand for
these are some of the directions In
which expansion is shown. Women
want to know a whole lot of things
that they did not, as class, care
about only short time ago. And whal
women want, they get.
There is hardly o. limit to what thu
well-trained. clever, ambitious girl.
may expect Of life in the way of serv
ice, interesting work, good income
independence, influence on the future
of her country, and a full home life
1t Is truly, today, up to her.
