THE SPRING orERHAULrNG

Practically all motorists recognize
the benefit of spring overhanling
for the car. And within few weeks
thousands will be attacking this task
more or less assiduously according
to their enthusiasm or their familiar
ity with the subject.
But the elimination of carbon, the
tightening up of the bearings. bolts
and nuts, and the freshening effects
of a coat of paint are not sufficient.
according to Mr.. Henry Baker. man
ager of the local Exide Service Stat
ion, at the Matlock Garage, in Merid-
ian.
THE battery" says Mr. Baker.
requires more or less attention at
all times of the year, but especially
after it has stood in the car-idie or
wise-throughout the winter.
"Corrosion may have taken Place
around the terminals. This should
be carefully scraped off and yaseline
spread over them to prevent further
trouble of this kind.
THE cradle in which the battery
rests, is frequently so badly corroded
by acid, that, figuratiyely speaking,
the battery is only held by thread.
In fact, have seen mans battery
drop out ON the road because the
motorist had failed to examine his
cradle.
= ..The wisest course is TO drive the
car to the nearest service station
either before or after you have COM
pleted the rest of the overhauling
Here, an expert battery man can test
the battery. tell whether it needs any
repairs and in other ways, assure the
success of your spring oyerhauling
''One way of avoiding this-if you
lay your car up for the winter-is tc
store your battery with your battery
service station until spring. The cos
is nominal but when you are ready
for the touring season, YOU can bs
sure your battery is in good condi
ton.
ITO sum up, remember. your bat
terry is an important part of your car
Give II at least, the same attention
you give to other parts and you vii
have no cause to swear at the batter.

 Well, at least it shows that he has none of that intolerance which l consider the unpardonable sin" said Tommy earnestly. Not but what l think he would stand up for what he considers the moral good of tho community; not but what he is try ing to save all of humanity which comes within reach of his voice. but he has never struck mo as being a man who for the mere sake of raising his own goodness on a ped estal would mount it on the backs of some poor devils who have fallen In mucky heap at his feet'

Virginia Fairfax, daughter of the first families of Virginia, rebels against the puritannical rule of her grandfather and, lured by FiImIand. runs away to become a motion pie ture actress. Arriving in Los Ange- les, she meets Gloria Summers, who is in the movies. They become warm friends. They meet Herbert Richard son. a wealthy young man, who has been interested in Gloria. Gloria ac- cepts, for herself and Virginia, Herb RfchardsOn's invitation to n party. Ria and Virginia plead that they must leave early. News came of the serious illness of Kitty DaIton-the direct result of the wild party. Tommy Warner had Gloria excused from the play so she could help Herb Richardson by taking care of Kitty Dalton. Every one wondered who would be choscn for GIorin's little part. To Virgfnia's surprise, the Iit- tie bride who had been on the train from Chicago with Virginia was i'm troduced. Virginia receives a letter from Aunt Virginia. Aunt Virginia told her of the bitter quarrel she had had with her grandfather because of Virginia's running away. Virginia

VIRGINIA GETS A SURPRISE

VIRGINIA GETS A SURPRISE
 T don't quite understand, Mrs. Drayton, why you are so sure that will have no trouble getting on in pictures" l replied tartly
 There was a rasp in my voice as I said this
 "Oh, didn't mean anything nasty. she answered. But any one can see that Tommy Warner is very much taken with you"
 T don't think he is. He is just kind-hearted. One would have more reason to say that he was taken with you. He turned me down when the director suggested that I might do the little part and singled you out from the rest of the atmosphere for It. Perhaps I haven't been here long enough to get the viewpoint that one mDst have a director personally m terested to make progress"
 Ruth Drayton looked at me rather shamefacedly but she said nothing. Then and thereto my surprise--I got an inkling of the ruthless ann bition and brittle moral fibre of Ruth Drayton's character. rather pitieI the young chap who was i'll back in his apartment, for it seemed to me tHdt, pern2pS more or less uncOn- sciously, this girl being in love with love only, had used Ralph Drayton to further her schemes of breaking into the movies. Many girls I found out afterwards, are like this. You lind them in every walk of life where young women start toward the goal of their ambition. Perhaps they are more plentiful in the movies because such women usually try to pick the easiest way and unfortunately those people who exploit moving pictures and movie actors only talk of the successes and tell nothing of the dis appointments and filures.
 Thirtyfive hundred girls come to Los Angeles every year to enter this alluring profession. And taking the most sanguine press agents word for it there are seldom more than 10 girls out of that $500 who ever reach stardom.
 This logical philosophy did not come to me on the day when Ruth Drayton made the slurring remark regarding Tommy Warner and my self. l got no further than thinking that she was a little cat as I hur- riedly put on my coat and hat and met Tommy at the gate.
