mark; B. FsEveritt Is one of the few pioneer leaders of this business whc has never guessed wrong.
 "Everitt is giving the Rickenbacker organization that same quality of CO., operative leadership that enabled him to go from boy in a paint shop to the executive chair of a number Uf great plants now flourishing in De- troit
 He is giving the young and vigor- ous group of Rickenbacker execu tives, the same stabilizing force that he demonstrated years ago as pres ident of the celebrated E. M. F., in which coincidently he was then, as now. closely allied with Walter F. Flanders.
 Finally, and perhaps of most i'm portance. he is giving to the building of the Rickenbacker car 100 per cent of his personal attention, for within the past 90 days, B. F. Everitt has resigned from the directory boards of Il corporations, including Max well-Chalmers and the presidency Of Everitt Brothers, his own thriving, bodybuilding plants in Michigan.
 Around Detroit, 1t is said that B. F.. Everitt mixed the first can Of paint that ever wont on a motor car. The Rickenbacker chief will not verify this but he does admit with pride to having pioneered In the perfection of handsome coach work, and he agrees that all told he has built, painted and trimmed in excess of 60,000 automobile bodies. This including every step from his appren- tioeship In overalls to experimenting the finishing touches of luxurious and expensive vehicles.
 After establishing a formidable reputation in painting and trimming such cars as Olds, Ford, Wayne, Silent Northern and others, he launched out as a manufacturer and consolidated the old Wayne and Nor thern plants. Then, as now, his first principle to success was the as- sembling of a notable organization, by securing Walter F. Flanders from the Ford company where he was pro- duction manager, and by getting Will liam Metzger, then with the Cad lilac.
 But so great were his talents for coachwork, and so vast were the de- mands for his skill in this all im- portant speciality of the automobile business. that by 1915 he was back In the field where he has always ex- celled.
 Since that, time his genius and workmanship have been a dominant note in the beauty of many fine cars. --notaly Hudson and Cadillac-for

Why MoUie Stars Cannot Be Happy Though Married

Los Angeles, August 12.-The weekend batch of marital woes in movie land once more has raised the question as to why motion picture stars cannot be happy, though mar ried. The inability of the heroes and the beauties of the screen to set up stable establishment is come to be automatic.
 Within three days have come the announcement that BUl Hart and his wife, Winifred Westover, have sepa- rated, pending a divorce action; that Gloria Swanson of the Starry Eyes, has left her latest husband, and that Blanche Sweet has separated from Marshall Neilan, the director, after less than two months of supposed welded bliss.
 All this has happened just as Hol- lywood was trying to settle down Will Hays, grand factotum of the movies, and high priest of movie mo- rality had just been here and was re- turning east glowing with pride when the bombardment of marital in- felicity overlook him.
 MT. Hays promptly issued a state ment saying that the only trouble with the moving picture industry was it's youth. He said that it took 500 years to bring the press of the world to it's present stability. This is some what discouraging to some of the pie ture stars. To be told that the first 500 years are the hardest, might easily discourage any mere mortal But to feel that they are pioneers in profession which will approach perfection in another six centuries, is rather inspiring at that.
 Many Explanations
 One can find in Hollywood many explanations of the inability of movie folks to stay married. "Tem- perament" Is the easiest, and perhaps after all the most plausible of all that are offered. Sometimes there is temperament on both sides of the match and often just on one, for while most of the stars marry oth- CT stars, occasionally brilliant light of the camera world will ven ture out upon the sea of matrimony with someone entirely outside "the pictures. These voyages go on the rocks just about as rapidly as do the all-star domestic enterprises.
 It often has been said that the childlessness of movie marriages had much to do with their lack of per manency. In the latest case, that of the Bill Harts, there is to be child, but it will be born after it's parents have separated. and applied for divorce. So tempestuous did the troubles of the Harts become that they could not wait fof the termi- nation of what is generally consid cred the tenderest period of all married life.
 A certain seIfishness born of un- dreamed success and unexpected wealth, born of the admiration of countless thousands of movie pat rons, born of the hundreds of pie lures and laudatory notices in the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-08-13

picture magazines and the Sunday supplements of the newspapers, un- doubtedly has much to do with the marital troubles of movieland and it is a. condition in the movie world. not theory, which is confronting Will Hays in his attempts at re- form.
 The good of the industry ap- peals to the movie people, in their sober calmer senses, but it is flung to the winds when it stands in the way of their own purposes of pleas ure. When one wants to get rid of ones husband, who has become a dreadful bore, should one let the good of the industry interfere? Ger tainly not, says Hollywood, and the divorce mills grind grimIy on.
 Life of SeIf-InduIgence
 For the most part Hollywood leads a life of self-indulgence, and self indulgence more than often leads to plural marriages. Then, too, it must be remembered that &C., tors and actresses live in a make believe world More than often this make-believe extends into the very first days of their honeymoons. Then the scenes change, new scenario is at hand. The bonds of must Dt Aebot ebSibC do NiAO costumes of play that is done.
 The movie folk say they are no greater frequenters of the divorce court than were the society people of Newport when that resort of the famous Ocean Drive was at the height of it's popularity.
 The men of the screen say they are pursued by women. This un- deniably is true. Bill Hart's. mail already is running over with tear stained missives from women who sympathize with him so deeply in his troubles and who understand" him so thoroughly. It seems that when a star marries, his mail from indiscriminate women writers gets larger instead of smaller.
 There is this odd difference be- tween the stage and the movies. In stageland it generally is the women who are pursued by "mashers." In the movies the men get the bulk of attention. Men on the stage also re- ceived mash notes by the score, but nothing to compare with the adula- tion of the hero of the screen. Screen women, as rule, marry screen men.
 When two screen stars get up housekeeping, each one expects to be the star of the establishment. The ar engagements seldom last for long.
 Movie people have plenty of free time on their hands, plenty of money for servants, maids. valets and chauf- feurs, and when they are not on To- cation they have no interests to serve outside of self entertainment. In the ordinary walks of life, a man has his business In movie land the stars have business only when they are making picture. At other times they are free as the winds. And they love 1t.

When noises issue from the axle housing, they may be ascribed to one of the following causes: Maladjust- ment of the driving gears, gears that have worn out or round or become warped, differential bearings that are worn or broken, a broken tooth or teeth in the gear, or metal chips in the mechanism.

Care of Inner Tubes

A good way to prevent hardening of inner tubes while they are stored
 away is to place them in hot water once a month or six weeks. After a
 few minutes immersion, they should
 be dried thoroughly and inflated
 slightly before being hung up. This will keep the rubber soft and pliable.

Sudden Speed Ruinous

To make an automobile go faster never increase Its speed by quickly accelerating the engine. This is bad habit to acquire. because it adds wear and tear not only to the engine, but throughout the entire drive sys- tenn. including the tires on the rear wheels. As in breaking the speed of the car. so should the speed be in- creased, and that way is gradually.
