 The girls case emphasized 1he plight of the hehhed haired girl, AL most all employment agents say short hair means increased difficulties for girls out of work Many employment offices hsse closed their lists to girls with hebbed hair or have placed such girls as a last resort only.

 TOO Much Bombing In Public
 The case against the bobbed haired girI rests upon several points. Busi- ness men say she spends too much time eombinE her hair in public. II Is said also that clerks with bobhed hair do not present the dignined. budnesslike appearance that women with long hair present. Another charge is that bobbed hair often brings svivolities of dress not intended for an office.

PUBLIC BUYING
CLOSED CARS
NOW
Demand for Closed Cars May
Set New Production
Record in Autos.

The formerly prevailing tendency
of the public to buy cars in the
spring and summer has changed to
a buying onslaught in the winter
months, says r. H. Harper, Wash
ington distributor for Durant and
Star cars.
This became apparent about the
first of October. AS usual at that
season, motor car manufacturers
had curtailed production in expecta-
ton of winter slump. And then
the orders commenced to pour in.
Production has been increased by
most builders almost to the peak OF
midsummer and is still climbing.
Necessary for Comfort.
Now that motor cars have become
an everyday necessity, people exer-
else very good judgment in. buying.
The man who walks and cares little
for motoring for pleasure, is in
fluenced in winter to buy car be-
cause it is necessary to him and his
family's comfort. In the same way
the open car owner sees the greater
comfort enjoyed by his neighbor
who. drives a closed car. The incen-
tive to buy is reflected i'll produc-
ton totals.

Caution Should Be Observed

While spraying with gasoline TO

very effective, it also presents a
serious disadvantage in the hazard
Of fire or explosions. since the spray
ing device may. produce a mixture
similar to that issuing from a car
buretor jet, delivering a finely di-
vided mixture of gas and air, which
requires only weak flame or spark
to ignite it.
This hazard is not only limited TO.
the use OF a spray, but may also
exist when gasoline is used with a.
brush in cleaning. For this reason
cleaning with gasoline or kerosene
should be done with caution. Never
touch any of the electrical terminals
with the nozzle nf the spray or the
metal ferrule of the brush, rs this
will cause a short circuit with its at
tending fire hazard.
1t can readily be understood that
while cleaning, the engine should
not be running and to eliminate any
possible fire hazard should be cold.
AS a further precautioin to eliminate
all danger Of fire, it is advisable to
disconnect one of the battery
terminals before cleaning and make
sure that no open flames exist any,,
where in the garage.

Oil Renewal Urgent
In Engines First
1000 Miles

Because oil tends to deteri-
crate very rapidly in a new
engine, the replacement of oil
at proper intervals will insure
continued smoothness of opera
tion and prevent undue wear
to bearings.
Sediment in a new engine is
the greatest prevalent cause of
oil deterioration. This sediment
is produced by the engine
wearing itself in" A new
motor is built and assembled so
that it is fairly tight or stiff.
This causes each moving part
to adjust itself to each other
part. In doing this, the vari-
Gus pieces rub against each
other and infinitely small par
ticles of metal are picked up
from the machine surfaces.
These particles, being heav-
ier than oil, are naturally car
ried to the lower pan and there
deposited. This wearing action
takes place most rapidly during
the first thousand miles of run
ming, although the action is
never entirely absent.
