Women Who Are
 Interesting

We have all met them, but if asked to define the charm or what it is that makes a certain woman in- teresting, who could tell. If the secret were known, why every woman would be interesting, for she would obtain in some way the attribute that would make her so. It is safe to say that the interesting woman knows her self and expresses herself in her manner and clothes. $ h e knows what to wear, and dressed properly in becoming clothes from top to toe, hat to S h o e S, she has achieved p e r f e c t poise and becomes distinguished.
 Need one say that this secret of boise, unconscious gr a c e and subtle charm might begin with a correct corset.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Some Of
the prominent investment bankers
have been calling the attention Of
their customers to the attractive
yields to be secured at present from
the purchase OF foreign bonds on
our listed market. Not only 90
coupon than is to be found on the
better grade Of domestic government
and Industrial issues, but the profit
they offer by taking advantage Of
the present low rate of exchange Is
a considerable item. Yields OF from
9 to per cent are offered by q
wide range of foreign government
issues, embracing the instruments
England, France, Belgium, Denmark,
But q good masfy investors are re-
son that thy do offer so much, and
that exchange conditions are as they
are, for they, Indicate a generally un'
healthy state In Continental Europe,
and one that may teopardize the
safety OF their whole investments.
The first consideration of . conser.
vative investor is the. safety OF his
capital, and many of the best posted
bankers on this side Of the Atlantic
are not SO sure that all Of the dollars
OF American investors poured out In
European securities are going 70
return when wanted. An additional
matter for consideration I'm the pur.
chase OF these foreign bonds is the
possibility Of their declining from
five to ten points further-some OF
them have gone down five points In
the last two months, and investors
being hung up" at prices where II
would mean a heavy loss to liquidate
them N funds We're needed for other
purposes. 1t is extremely doubtful
II the most conservative investment
bankers would recommend these
bonds unreservedly At the present
time. J.
As against q price Of 1916 in
the latter part Of July, the fourth
Liberty bonds have declined to a
little below %, with hardly q re.
covery in that period. To some
this represents a tendency In the
bond market that ID very discourag.
ing to the holders of securities,
and foreshadows further decline In
the prices OF their choice holdings.
To others It represents a good op'
portunity to purchase choice gov
ernment holding at q most advan'
tageous basis, an opportunity that
may never again be duplicated.

Thus George II. Hannum. presl-|

After all he explains. "the sufc-

In the days gone by the motorists

DIFFERENT SHADES
OF COLOR ON TIRES
Motorists Can Now Have
Choice of Any Hue
He Desires.

Announcement was made re-
Gently by the Miller Rubber Com
pany. Akron, Ohio. of a new dis
covery by which vulcanized rubber
may be made in any shade of color,
ranging from the most delicate
pink and blue to the deepest blues
and puppies. The new colors are
a significant triumph of American
science. The work, begun when
the nation was confronted by war
conditions and embargoes on for
eign colors, has now been COM
pleted.
Prior to the war few colors were
In the United States, and American
companies were absolutely de-
pendable on foreign sources of
supply. 1t was not long ago. how
ever. before the textile industry
had practically solved its color and
dye problem. But there was no
solution in sight for the rubber
maker, who had the heat problem
to deal with as well.
As consequence, an addition
to the research laboratory was
established in the Miller factories
at Akron to work out formulas
for the colors most used. The
whole effect at first was bent on
duplicating or substituting the
foreign products. In a few months
the company was no longer de-
pendent on any foreign country for
the colors Of its products
For the past year the research
laboratory has been engaged in de-
veloping color combinations that
hold under the action of sulphur
at a temperature of over $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The color is
now vulcanized into the rubber.

is A VITAL FACTOR

Have you ever stopped to think
how many accidents happen from
brakes failing to hold? The brakes
should be tested each day. Before
going a block from the garage
make a service test by throwing
out the clutch and applying the
brake. II possible, select a dry spot
for making this test. Under no
circumstances should the car be
taken further IL the brakes are not
operating properly: drive back to
the garage and see that the faults
are corrected before iriving out
again.
Automobile brakes have a definite
relation to safety. Important points
to give attention are that a good
type OF brake lining is selected and
that. after having selecting a good
lining. IL Is properly installed.
Keep the brakes in good operating
condition. Make frequent tests for
proper brake adjustments, apply
brakes properly when ION the
road"
There are many types of brake
lining on the market. Do not use
lining that Is too soft or too thick:
such Innings easily become matted
and necessitate almost constant ad-
justment. Good Innings are woven
with plenty of asbestos; some also
have fine copper wire woven In.
Only an experienced mechanic
should install brake Innings. He
should be sure the lining Is prop
erly stretched to avoid wrinkling.
The rivets should be properly coun-
tersLn nix, otherwise the metal of the
rivets will score the brake drum
and brakes may not hold properly.
To keep the brakes in good con-
dition once in two months remove
the rear wheels and wash the brake
lining in kerosene. This removes
all oil and grease. which, when
present, take the bite" out of the
brakes. Never oil brake lining.
Brakes squeal when they are glazed
or when improperly adjusted.
Sauealing can often be stopped by
removing wheels and roughing the
brake lining with a file. II the
brake lining is worn down to the
rivets, sink them still further or
have the brakes refined. Wipe off
and oil the brake mechanism every
500 miles. or at least once a month.
Make systematic brake inspection a
habit.
TIE loss OF a cotter pin might
lead to a serious accident When a
Lock washer is removed don't put II
back: use a new one. More acct
dents result from faulty adjust
pents or applications of brakes
than from any other cause. All
drivers should keep the brakes ad-
justed properly. Brakes should not
drag: IL they do they will heat and
be wore down unnecessarily. Brakes
should not be too loose: loose
brakes do not act quickly enough.
Different adjustments are made for
different types of brakes; on the
shaft brake there Is a nut on the
brake band which can be adjusted
20 make the band neither too tight
nor too loose. Brake rod can be
turned either to the right or left
