DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
"a" is a man, twenty
seven, with a slight defornity
of the back. which is a consid-
cradle handicap. For this rea-
son A had long ago decided
never to marry and consequent
ly never paid more than ordi-
nary attention to the girls who
worked in the office or any
others outside Of the office.
This method worked until B
came to the same office.
Later, A realized he was deep
~ in love with B and she with
him, and remembering his de-
cision, Immediately began to
avoid her.. He also tried in
vain to obtain other employ
ment, for 1t was absolutely
necessary that he have money
to take care of his sick mother.
B now goes about with an
other man but when in the Of.

It had been decided at the time

Philip, as the Saturday night Of
the party approached, was filled
with dreadful misgivings as %

pitch Of sensitiveness, absurdly
critical of his home, his family,
himself. He feared Vacaville's
possible criticism Of Marjorie and

and that the people who had
come had been perfectly terrible"
They decided not to see any more
of Vacaville's society. They did
not want to, go to any more
places" and were much happier
alone. So further invitations to
come over and dance" or play
cards were declined, and they
spent the evenings wandering un-

Jewett Skies by the Paige Detroit
Motor Car Company viii be 90 per
cent closed cars during the month
of November, according to the sche-
dule now in force, local dealers have
been informed.
This is perhaps the largest per-
centage of closed ears that any
manufacturer has scheduled for
building during any month in the
past year. Paige and Jewett pro-
duction for October was 80 per cent
closed cars.
The Jewell brougham, more than
any other single model was respon-
sible for the increased proportion
of closed ears scheduled this month,
stated II. M. Jewett, president of
the company. He. cited two specific
reasons for the popularity of Jewett
brougham, as seen by the factory
through ifs "eyes the dealers.
The first was the low price for a
quality six cyclinder motor car-ap-
proximatcly only 100000 more than
a touring car of the line.
Second. the permanent finish as
well as permanent top.
''We find the public already ac,
quainted with the lasting qualities
of baked-on enamel finish" states
Mr.. Jewett. "The business man,

gested city need not worry because
they are forced to leave the brough.

1t has come to the attention of
the Division of Motor Vehicles that
number of headlight lens manufac-
turers and distributors are selling
headlight lens and devices which
are not in conformity with those
tested at the states testing agency.
While these lens carry the e>name un

ed they are in reality entirely dis

made on some of these devices in the
near future and. if the report is
proven to be true prosecution under
the provisions of the new act, Of
those involved will be made.
Request has been made for the
registration of trucks and other We
hicles equipped with coal oil lamps
and other devices not approved by
the department, on the grounds that
the machines are operated in the day
time only. The chief of the depart
ment has ruled that every vehicle
operated on the public highways
whether in daytime OF night, must
be properly equipped.
Attention of the department has
been called to- excessive. charges
made by some of the adjusting sta
tions recently certified. While no
fixed charge is prescribed by the
department an ordinary adjustment
should be made for not to exceed
Toe. Any charge in excess of that
amount is deemed exhorbitant and
wherever it is proven excessive
charges are being made, the Divis-
ion of Motor Vehicles will deem that
sufficient cause for the revocation
of adjusting station certificates.

PREDICTS OPEN
LOCAL CAR WILL
BE- A NOVELTY

"This closed ear show is mighty
curious idca,'' SAID William II.
Lewis, local Hudson-Essex dealer,
today. "It sort Of carries the idea
that the enclosed car is some es-
pecial sort of automobile.
"It won't be long now before
the regular run of cars will be en-
closed ones, and probably we shall
then have special open car shows to
open the spring and summer season.
"The Hudson factory is now turn
ing out supersixes faster than ever
before in its history, and nine out
of every ten of the number are
enclosed. That sort Of policy is
closed ear action. The Hudson and
Essex coaches, which were the first
enclosed cars in the world to sell
at practically an open car price, are
now at the very top of their pop.
ularity.
'There is 70 inherent reason
why enclosed cars should cost great
iy more than open ones. Many of
them do Simply because they are de-
signed. mGnuractured anG sold as
specialties aud not as standard
goods.
! 'That situation will have to be
reversed. The industry will have to
produce enclosed cars as its utility,
everyday vehicle, and make the
open ears as specialties.
"I have just this piece of advice
to prospective automobile buyer;
Look in the classified and columns
and see for yourself how much be.-
ter resale prices enclosed cars com
mand than open ones. It is a mat

"On this day all persons who arc
disposed to make practical application
Of the Golden Rule are requested to
provide for their Sunday dinner the
same menu as that approved and used
for at1east $4,000 orphans in the Near

not a scrap of food is ever wasted"
The difference between the cost Of

is to be made as contribution and
