PAYING FOR
 TROUBLE SHOOTING
By PERCY CHAMBERLAIN

An automobile owner was annoyed by a rattle in his car.
 He took 1t to the service depart ment of the dealer from which he had bought 1t. One of the highest paid employees of the maintenance de partment spent an hour searching for the cause of this rattle. Finally he found IL. It was loose battery con necton Fifteen minutes fixed it. The bill read as follows:
 Tighten battery connection, one and one-quarter hours"
 When the owner got the bill hs hit the ceiling!
 An hour and a quarter for tight entng battery connection" he said. I'll not pay It. It's robberyl"
 Tho scene changes. For some little ume thIs owner has had trouble with nls books. They refuse to balance. something is wrong. He calls in an expert accountant. He makes room for this man to work in his office
 For week the accountant searches for the trouble. Finally he finds it. A few cross-entries corrects every thing. The books are in balance. The bill reads something like this:
 ITO services of accountant six days at sI0 per day"
 And this man - this automobile owner who kicked at the hour and quarter for locating and stopping an annoying rattle-pays the account ants bill and Is happy that his books are In good shape again.
 Hero VIC have exactly tho same ele- ments as applied to two different lines of endeavor. Both involve trouble shooting" In each case the workmen were technical. In both il lustrations the charge was upon the same basis and included both finding the trouble and correcting 1t.
 But in one case the customer com plained about the charge while in the other case he paid the bill.
 Just because man knows every thing about bookkeeping from the technical standpoint, no one pre- sumes that he can immediately locate tho trouble when a particular set of books are out of balance.
 It Is just as unreasonable to sup pose that man. who knows every part and bolt and screw in an auto mobile, can immediately locate the source of something which Is troub- ling the owner of that automobile.
 Nevertheless, the fact remains, that the public does take a different atti- tude toward the automobile repair bill. For years the trade has been struggling against this psychology. For years tho automobile man has

 PADEREWSKI SAYS
Former Polish Premier Declines To
 Discuss Fortune

PARIS. June 16.-(By Associated Press. )-"Some people appear to be surprised that I need to work. but If man wants to live he must eat, and to eat he must have money lots of money-and in these times the best way to get 1t Is to work" said lgnace Jean Paderewski, famous pianist. when recently he appeared here with great success after an ab- sence of more than ten years from the Parisian concert platform.
 The former premier of Poland made no other allusion to his finan- cial situation and Ignored query as to what had become of the large fortune he was supposed to have possessed when he retired from con- 'cert work to enter politics.
 Everyone familiar with events in Europe since the war knows that a large amount of PaderewsKrs money was spent for Poland.

HOWE TIRE PRICES ARE N0T ADVANCE !
Increased Business Noted In These Tires By CraW-
 ford Company

In view of the unsettled conditions In the tire market 1t Is g. significant fact that Howe tires have not ad- vanced prices. according to R. H. Thomas. manager of Crawford's Quick Tire service.
 "As a matter of fact we are sell ing Howe tires at the same list prices of December 1922" said Mir. Thomas.
 ''In addition to this is also the fact that the Howe company has material ly increased the quality of it's product In pursuance of its policy of giving the user moro for his tire money" These facts have resulted in a hiE increase in our business on Howe tires and has won many converts to Howe equipment. Of course. our splendid service which backs up ev- cry tire we sell has been an added inducement for the purchase of the tires we sell.'

ELEVEN YEARS ADDED TO LIFE BY MOTOR CAR
Statistics Show Longevity Increased
 As Autos Increase

StatlStlcS Show Longevity Increased
 As Autos Increase Eleven years have been added to the average life of the American citi- zen by the general adoption of the automobile as means of individual transportation.
 In 1903. when only 1o.s5o oars were produced, an American might hope to live an average of S764 years.
 In 1913, or 10 years later, when 461 300 automobiles were built. his life expectancy was 41.01 years.
 In 1922, when 2.2s7.00o autom obiles were built. his life expectancy had increased to 4S.66 years.
 Sunshine, freedom from worry, the open air and the exhilaration of the open road has accomplished this in 20 years time.
 These figures were revealed after an Investigation by three prominent physicians In Louisville in an exhibit at the national health exposition held during this month
 That Is why Edward s. Jordan. president of the Jordan Mottr Car company, says that the greatest con- tribution made to good health and future happiness of the American people Is the last reduction of the Ford price.
 It will take 100000 people away from the congested areas of the city out into the country, not only for fresh air but to establish homes. where the owner may have gar den and an open space for tho de- velopment of his children.
