Being Vain in Vain.

Automobiles, 1t was hoped, had
passed out of the toy class, but
good many motorists still act like
children when they drive up the street
sporting a new car. It's worse this
year than ever before, because there
are so many showy cars to select
from. \ lot of people are buying cars
mainly with the idea of showing OF
before their neighbors. and, while
this appears to stimulate business,
every one who looks into the future
knows that it is actually detrimental
to motoring.
The man who doesn't own a car
looks out the window and sees the
Joneses lolling in their gasoline lap of
luxury and decides that vain show
is not for him. The gaudy paint, the
excessive amount of nickel. the fancy
upholstery, the very impractical look
about the car simply. blind the non
motoriSt to the real value of an auto
mobile. He looks upon it as sheer
luxury.
The trouble with this vain show of
wealth. prosperity or position is that
the victims themselves gain nothing
by II. Cars come easy TO them and
go by still easier route. The paint
is neglected. the nickel ruStS, the up
holstery becomes soiled and the car
soon looks as unattractive as imprac-
tical The owner is in the market for
a new car within less than a years
time. He can't buy. because he has
still few more inStallmentS to pay.
He cant keep it up, because there is
a limit TO extravaganza.
If any car owner wants to attract
attention and win the respect of his
neighborS he has only to buy prac-
tical car and keep it in good order.
Everybody envies the man who has
good sense.

Sticking Cone Clutch.

The sticking of a cone clutch may
be due to a tendency of the clutch
member to fit too snugly in the cone
part of the fywheel. This is usually
the result of worn facing of tie
clutch member, caused, in turn, by
burning the facing through a habit
of slipping the clutch. A new leather
facing should remedy the trouble, and
handy temporary solution is to
wedge broken pieces of a hack-saw
blade between the facing and the
clutch member at several points on
its circumference. This will often
smooth out rough and sticking cone
clutch.

today in overriding exemptions of

'The fact that there is a public
demand for fresh bread and that
